No matter how humble man may
be. or how much he underestmates MS
own abilities. his self-assertiveness Is
bound to show itself when he attends
ball-game The democracy OF the
bleacheries is irresistible. and here, OF
all places, ono finds u government OF
the people. for the people, and by the
people-a government in which the low
est citizen has voice and never fahs
to use ii. IL we see Drlckiayer
shaping a wall. or stone-mason chip-
ping granite, we do not pause and tel
him his work is going wrong, FOR we
realize that it is not our business, ana
we confess that his profession comes
without the scope OF our knowledge
Nor do we claim to be able TO run
stean-locomotive or to make breeches,
or 10 mend clocks. because these things,
we say. are not the tricks Of our trade.
Yet. which of us, pray, would hesitate
to render judgment on a ball.player, or

should do / have been to games where
there were 5000 people present, and
where of this number, there were only
about twenty-five who didn't know just
how TO overcome the lead OF the visiting
club. These twenty-five were the play
ers, the umpire, and the baseball re-
portors. All of them, more or less, had
made a study of the sport and reduced
its theories to the finest point. but their
knowledge paled into sickly insignifi-
canoe when brought into comparison with
the wisdom of tho man who, for the
first time in eight weeks, Had taken an
afternoon off and attended the game.
Perhaps this democracy Of environ
ment is the secret of our love for base
ball Nowhere IL much as on the unre-
lentlng planks of the bleacheries do we
enjoy such freedom of speech; nowhere
do we revel in such self-importance. and
nowhere are we better prepared to
fight, bleed. and die for our opinions
And when we consider these things, let
us pause and pity the professional base
ballist-the man above all others who
eropes in the darkness of ignorance con-
corning the national game. and whose
stumpy fingers have long since been
sacrificed on affairs dedicated to the all

Serious Accident TO a. Indy.

BERRYNILLE, VA, June 19.-(Special)
Miss Ella j. Bowser, daughter OF the late
Christopher Bowser, who was post
master at Berryvlle for a number of
years, met with an accident Friday morn
ing which is feared will terminate
fatally.
Miss Bowser was crossing Main street
Berryville, when an empty two-horse
wagon belonging to w. Y. 6tolle's livery,
and driven by David Shepherd. came UP
the street, and either one of the horses
or the tongue of the wagon struck her
and Knocked her down, her head strik-
ing the turnpike so hard as TO render
her unconscious and 10 cause paralysis
of one entire side Of her person. Miss
Bowser was very nearsi9hted, and
Il IS thought that she did not see the
team until it was close upon her and
that then she was too frightened and
bewildered to get out of the way OF the
horses. No blame is attached to Mr..
Shenherd the driver OF the team, who
aid all in his power to avert an accident.
Miss Bowser is one Of the most estimable
ladies' I'm the community, consistent
member of Grace Episcopal church, and
the whole neighborhood Is terribly
shocked and grieved at the unfortunate

As a matter of fact most of these stocks
were above par and the dividends were
paid on the par value Take one instance
Merchants 5 Bank stock sold in 1895 at
S149. so and was assessed by Messrs. Smith
and Jones at S94. SO; it sold So 90 less in
1896 and Messrs. Shyrock and Graham
reduced its assessment by $27.l9. The
stock of the First National Bank sold in
1895 at $3.50 and in 1896 at S125. In
1895 it was assessed at S99. sc. and this
was reduced in 1896 to SILT or by the
sum of SlS. 90 share The Third Ma
tional was assessed in 1895 at S81 66 and
in S96 at SO. 81. Other cases show the
same ratio of reduction, apparently not
based on selling value, but as if done by
some arbitrary rule. The list of stocks is
TOO long to treat of each one, but roughly
estimated | conclude that the Board of
Appeals of 1876 reduced the assessment Of
stocks of corporations over S4, 600, 900,
and this suggests the query Why was
this done? We Democrats assert that the
Republican party is in favor of centraliza-
ton of wealth and power and that they
cater to trusts and capitalistic interests
Without asserting that the Board Of Ap-
peals have done wrong, | make simple
statement of facts which may be explained
by the Board, and it is pertinent for it to
do so. Without explanation, it would
seem that the poor agricultural Democrats
who deserted their colors last fall would
want to get back now.

For every session of the General AS

was passed. 1t may be proper inquiry
to ask the Board of Appeals, composed of
the Comptroller and Treasurer, whether
these corporate influences have their ear
This question is pertinent from the large
reductions made by the Board on the as
sessment of stocks of corporations. To
show this reduction we give in two columns
the comparative figures. The first column
represents the assessment of 1895 under
Treasurer and Comptroller, Jones and
Smith, and the second the same for 1896
