The ball game in the forenoon be
tween Paw Paw and Otsego was a hot
one, Paw Paw winning by a score of five
to three.
The people enjoyed tie forenoon game
so much that another one was arranged
for the afternoon between the same two
teams. At the eighth inning, with a
tied score, the Otsego manager ordered
his team from the field, on the pretext of
darkness, the chances being good for a
second defeat for the Otsegos. There
was no necessity for stopping the play, as
the sun had barely set.

Ny Dear Sir:
From your letter of the 10Th inst, l
learn that the corner stone of the new
court house for Van Buren, county is to
be laid on the I'd of September. | un-
derstand that the structure is to be
worthy in every way to represent the in
telligence, the prosperity and the dignity
of che people of one of the leading coun-
ties in our state. At a time when
throughout large portions of our country,
the methods of law and order for the
punishment of crime are abandoned
when vengeance usurps the place of JUS
tice, and when the torture stake recalls
the barbarism of savages, happy is that
community which is moved to build an
adequate home for the administration of
law and the establishment of justice be-
tween man and man. Thanking you for
the courtesy of your letter, am

this letter to be placed in the corner

were possible for me to be present at the
corner stone laying myself, but have to

My Dear Sir
Your favor OF the 10th inst, addressed
to the president, has been received and
the contents noted. Owing to the large
number of requests of nature quite
similar to your own constantly being re-
ceived from all parts of the country, the
president has found it impracticable to
write letters of the kind to which you
refer. l am sure you will appreciate the
conditions which exist in this regard, and
will understand that the presidents in
ability to respond more fayorably to
your courteous letter implies no lack Of
interest in the many meritorious sug
gestions brought to his notice.
Very truly yours,

to shell quantity which can be han
died by machine in thirty.six min
utes. A moving machine cuts seven
times as much grass per hour as one
man can cut with a sycthe. These
examples might be extended indef.
nitely; but more iorceiul illustra-
ton will be found by considering the
total horsepower applied to machines
in this country and calculating how
many men it would require to do the
same work. For such calculations
the census figures Of 1890 must be
used. One horse. power is equivalent
to the power Of six men. Thus, il
the work OF 63, 481 men in the foul
mills Of the United States is supple
mented by the use Of 752,365 horse
power, the power is equivalent to thu
work Of 4,5l4,190 additional men

Got Together, Brethren.

The News has an extended edi-
torial this week taking the position
that resubmission must be the next
issue Of the Democracy. And here
are a couple paragraphs from the
editorial columns Of the Paola Spirit,
run by Barney Sheridan, the Demo-
cratic leader:
"Resubmission as a shibboleth has
lost Its charm; in truth it has lost
force and it is doubtful II it ever had
any charm. Since 1886, every other
year, Democrats have wooed the tails
manic mermaid OF resubmission and
after the wooing they have walked
around in the sackcloth and ashes Of
defeat. The Democratic party Of
Kansas should relegate resubmission
to the third or fourth place in the
platform il indeed 1t is not RELOCATED
clean out Of all platform literature.
"Resubmission as political war
cry is no good in this state. 1t is de.
cayed at the root and only cumbereth
the ground. The organized opposi'
ton to the Republicans that blossom
ed out in Populism had two whacks
at this thing in the legislature-lSsS
and 1897. They did nothing, nor did
they try TO do anything. Republican
managers have had the legislature in
all other years OF the past two
decades. They did nothing nor dared
one man attempt to do anything"
The brethren should hold a con-
vention and get together.

The Department Of Agriculture has
IN press at this time the year book,
which, when issued, will no doubt be
h great demand by agriCultursts all
over the country. In connection
with the matter Of its issuance, Joseph
A. Arnold Of the division Of publica-
lions has made some suggestions
which should be remembered by all
farmers. Each year" said Mr.. Ar.
nold, "as soon as 1t Is learned that
tho year book has been issued, we are
bssieged by thousands upon thousands
II requests for a copy Each and
everyone Of these must be answered
end, not wishing to make any excep.
lions, they oil must be refused. The
reason for this is that Of the 10000
copies which are printed we only re.
ceive 80, 900 for the use Of our CORES
pondepts and assistants. The Uther
100000 is the allotment Of the sena-
tors and representatives for their own
personal distribution. 1t would be q
great help to this division II the
farmers who desire to obtain copy
would apply directlyto their senators

The Pan American Exposition.

All roads lead to Buffalo these days
to the Pan-American exposition.
This is a much more significant enter
prise than is commonly realized, or
than perhaps will be fully under
stood until it has been adequately de.
scribed. 1t has been carried out on q
generous scale and the exposition
will be unique in the fact that 1t has
received no aid from the federal gov.
eminent. Judging from the illustra-
tons that have appeared from time
to time the architectural effects will
be exceedingly fine, while 1t is prom
ised that some OF Its features, notably
in the display Of American art, the
exposition will surpass all that have
gone before. 1t is said that no equal.
ly complete and meritorious exhibi.
ton Of the works Of painters and
ulptors who can fairly be claimed
for the United States has ever been
seen. How extensive the exhibition
is Of the products Of Latin-America,
which the exposition was especially
designed to display, is yet to be
learned, but undoubtedly 1t will be Of
great interest.
That the fair will be largely attend
ed can be confidently predicted,
Buffalo isattractive city and tributary
to 1t a population OF many millions.

The South's New Politics.

The royal reception given President
Mckinley in the South indicates that
section is mot of the old sort. There
are signs CT a coming political break
that will end its "solid" Democracy.
The stalwart Democratic newsPa'
per, the Chattanooga Times, ex-
claims, in referring TO Tillman, Of
South Carolina, what Q fall 1t Is
from Calhoun, Pinckney, Legsre,
Cheeves, Orr, Thompson, the Hamp'
tons, Butler, Rutledge, johnson and
q host Of other lights the old North
State has given the country, to this
bumptious rowdy." This outburst Of
righteous Democratic indignation is
melted by Tillmau's recent TRADE Of
vulgarity against bis colleague, Sena'
tor McLaurin, who has been telling
some plain truths to the South about
its political stagnation In the past
two or three decades.
Southern papers Of the better class
are nearly all with McLaurin in the
new departure which he has pro-
claimed. "Senator McLaurin has
sounded the bugle note and the clans
will rally exclaims the Richmond
| (Va.) Times. The Charlotte IN. C.)
Observer says that "McLaurin's
speech was an argument for the as
sertion Of Southern manhood, for the
extension Of southern trade, for the
abandonment OF old and settled issues,
and for the spread OF Democratic
ideas over the earth" In the same
strain the Louisville Evening Post de-
clares that McLaurin "says just what
what thousands Of people are think
ing and saying all over fhe South.
The Democratic party, as now organ
lied, is a reactlonary party, and has
NO part in the present and no faith in
the future. 1t is not the party Of
Jefferson, for 1t has repudiated or
abandoned nearly everything TOR
which Jefferson stood"
This is the sort OF talk which Is
heard from large proportion Of the
Southern Democratic papers Of stand
ing and ability. OF course, not all Of
these papers are preparing to come
over to the Republican party. Sena-
tor McLaurin himself has not said he
has become a Republican. This
movement which has started against
Bourbonism In the South, however,
will make Republican voters in that
region. 1t will cause a break In the
ranks Of the Democracy. The boilers
will come over to the Republican side.
They will be reinforced by thousands
who are saying nothing now, but who
have been waiting favorable oppor'
tunity to get out Of the organization
which still thinks and feels as 1t did
in 1S65.75. The Republican vote in
the South in 1904 will be many hun
dreds Of thousands larger than 1t wal
In 1900.
