The question Of fusion Of the popU-
list and democratic parties Of Sherman
county in the coming campaign is be-
ing much talked about by reason Of the
Importance attached to il. Politics is
not q gladiatOriaI contest, as some PEG
pie suppose, in which a man is at lib
erty to bury his sword into the body Of
his personal enemy, but a coordination
Of effort for the sake Of principle, which
underlies government
The proposition is: Shall the pOpu-
lists fuse with the democrats? Since
there is a difference Of economic belief
among men OF different parties, there
necessarily arises a desire on both
sides TO gain control Of government.
But the seepter Of government passes
into the hands Of that party which has
the power to elect; and to refuse addi-
tional voting strength by not cooper
ating with the democrats, is to lose
sight Of the end for which a party is
born to serve
If it is agreed that fusion is a good
thing, which is conceded, the pOpulist
party should reasonably reward its
helper. The democrats request the
place Of sheriff only on the ticket, while
the populists are 10th 70 grant it, but
instead offer the places Of treasurer
and register Of deeds
POpulists, the conclusion is: Your
political convictions can be realized
and made Of worth only when your
party has seized the helm Of govern
ment. But in an effort to obtain poll
teal control the addition Of appreci-
able power makes election that much
surer, the party that much stronger,
without a sacrifice Of party individu-
atty or political belief.

THE YoUTHruL BASE BALL IAN.

years ago. said the old man who
was fond Of bringing back to memory
the scenes Of his childhood, "there
lived in our town a very small boy. 1t
was not so long ago." he continued
thOughtfully, "but that base ball was
at its height as a sport. Perhaps some
Of you who have good memories can
recall similar circumstances. This
little boy wore a pair Of blue jeans
Overalls two sizes too large for him, a
dirty calico shirt and a look Of injured
innocence. He had freckIes on the
end Of his nose and warts on the back
Of his hands. His hands had been clean
only two years before I first saw him.
He had withal pair Of lungs by means
Of which he could make more noise
than a brass band and a steam caliope
running in opposition to the two con-
undrum famed pigs under a gate. He
didn't know the difference between the
left field and last years rules, but he
was on hand every ball game to root
He imagined that he rooted for the
home nine and that be was responsible
for every one Of its victories. A victory
and a defeat were all the same to him;
he didn't know the diFerenee-and
when q nine came from a neighboring
town and beat our nine he would fol
low the victors to the depot and yell:
why don't Skunkville learn to play
ball. and other filings likely to cool
their exultatiOn at the moment Of tri-
umph. At a game when some enthu-
siast was climbing the fence for a ball
that had been fOuled, and the umpire
was saying play BALI and there was
neither chance nor motive for any one
to 90 hard or otherwise, he would yell
in a voice that would wake the dead
and then make them sorry Of it: Go
hard, old man, 60 hardr-and then
would follow a series Of wales which
cannot be represented by the written
symbols Of language. And when base
had been given on balls, and the batter
was leisurely going to first on 8 sort Of
dog trot, this amiabIe kid would yell:
Nov your OF, old man-now watch
him-nOW your way off, And il he
could select a time when the umpire
was conducting himself like an ordin-
airy Christian and didn't deserve kill
ing, be would exclaim: Kill the UNI
Dire, kill the umpirer When the batter
had lodged swkwardly and got hit by
the ball the youthful rooter would send
forth CRY which be intended for en-
cOuragement but which really sounded
like the moan Of a lost soul: Good
eye, old man, good eye. it only takes
one to hit itP By such demeanor as
this" continued the old man impress
sively, sthis youth robbed himself Of
good part Of that sympathy to which
his freckles and his warts entitled him.
There vas great grief in base ball CIR
eles when it was reported that the boy
had split his throat yelling. The news
proved false-that is what caused the
grief"
