When Wheeling was so apparently out

of games with Mansfield, The chronic
croakers proclaimed the fact that the
home club was lamen;ably weak. Al
that time IL was suggested that opinions
be reserved for a week or two. Tho local
players won four Of the next six games
and the fau.t-huding clement was ST.

knockers serve purpose so long as they
keep without reasonable bounds. IL IS
manifes,ly unfair TO give an opinion re-

the others. Wheeling has crossed bats
with Mansfield. Toledo, Fort Wayne and
Youngstown. and has held its own. This
is all a reasonable fan" has a right 10
expect. I'm view of he fact that most OF
the games thus far have been played
abroad.

Pcrhaps the most serious test OF strength
will come when Wheeling meets the New
Castle team. Three games will be played
in New Castle and three I'm Wheeling, and
local patrons will expect the home club
to win half Of them. Wheeling hatted
hard enough to win ordinary games in the
series with Mansfield but Mansfield hit
the ball even harder. in the light of sub
seouesnt events it Is more reasonable TO
ascribe the heavy hitting OF Mansfield TO
weakness. or "off days" Of the local
twirlers. than to any such phenomenal
hitting potyers as the fusilado Of base hits
would seem to indicate that the Mansfield
aggregation possesses. There is one point
which Is not in dispute-that no club IN
the league has helded better than Wheel
ING. While it is true ,hat hard hitting wins
games. it is equally true that clean. sharp
fielding cuts off many hits. No club
which Wheeling has yet met has demon
strated its superiority over the local club
all points Of the game considered. and no
team has n license TO win a majority Of
games from Wheeling. New Castle has
been putting up peunart winning article
Of base ball, and for that reason the
games this week will be watched with moro
than ordinary interest.

PALMER F0R PUBLIC PRINTER.
Ex- President Harrison Secures the Ap-
pointment of the Man Who Served
Under His Administration.

Under HIS Administration.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March lex
President Harrison, when he called upon
President Mckinley on Wednesday, said
to him:
"Mr. President, have one request to
make of you, and one only. and it is that
you appoint as Public Printer Mr.. Palmer
of Illinois, who served in that capacity
during my administration"
President Mckinley assured General
Harrison that his request would be
granted, so it is certain that Palmer will
succeed Public Printer Benedict as soon
as the latter's term has expired, and per-
haps sooner.
The CALL correspondent received posi-
tive Information tonight that Harrison
had made this request of Mckinney, and
that it had been granted. Furthermore,
it has been decided to try and rescind the
order which placed III of the subordinate
positions in the Government Printing
Office under the civil service. 1t will be
urged as an excuse that the Public Printer
has violated both the letter and the spirit
of the civil service law. having in one day
discharged 700 employees upon the plea of
economy. 1t is alleged that vast ma
jority of them were Republicans, and that
soon afterward Mr.. Benedict found it
necessary to increase the force of en-
ployss TO what it was before the reduc.
tion, and that large majority of the new
appointees were Democrats.
This is claimed to be q gross viola tion
of the civil service act. 1t is understood
that the joint Committee on Printing in
Congress will Investigate and recommend
that President Mckinley rescind the ex-
ecuiive order of his predecessor, Mr.. Cleve-
land, which EN- mbraced the Government t
printing Office in the civil service. 1t is
consid cred doubtful, however, whether
the President has power to revoke this
executive order without action of Con-
sress. e

of the most faithful re presentatives of the

session is Hon. George H. Burnham, of
the historic old county of El Dorado. He

WHEREAS. The State OF California has ap-

restraining and impounding of mining and
other debris. and the further sum of $500, 900
to be expended in the improvement and rec

State; and whereas, this State of California
has thus shown its Willingness to assist in
work so imperatively demanded by the needs

be undertaken and carried forward to COM

alone has complete jurisdiction over the

has already appropriated the sum of
100000 to be used in conjunc-
ton with the State appropriation

thus indicating willingness 10 undertake the
contemplated work; and whereas. all local
and industrial differences that have hereto
fore existed between the mining and farming
sections OF this State have ceased to exist and
complete harmony now prevails among all
classes and interests In relation to the ma tiers

ReSotued, By the Assembly, the Senate con-

the sum OF 5000, 900, one-haH thereof to be
expended in the construction OF restraining
barriers and one-half thereof TO be used in
dredging and otherwise improving the naviga-

the miner and the farmer may be alike pro-

industries and the commerce of great State
be res tored TO its righttul condition.
