BASE BALL NOTES.

| James A. Hart president of the Chi cago National league club. has issued a statement in which he denies the story sent out from Baltimore that he has been negotiating terms or peace with Ban Johnson, president Of the American league. Hart declares that he has had no conference with John- son and has no authority from the Ma tional league to act in any such capacl- ty. Other National league men con- firm Hart'S statement and say that un- der the circumstances they are quite willing to allow the American league to paddle it's own canoe. President Johnson characterizes the story as too l silly to consider seriously. At Balti- more, however, it is still asserted that negotiations are under way and that typewriter copies of the agreement to be signed have been sent to the presidents of all National league clubs, Meanwhile the American league men are pushing their campaign with wig or. At Boston contracts have been let for the building of the grounds and stands. and a lease for five years has been signed. C. w. Somers put up a bond of $23.00O to guarantee the rent for that time Work on the new grounds at Philadelphia and Baltimore is under way. At Washington, now ever, James Manning is having difficult ty in securing grounds, and in the event of failure, it is rumored that he will be shifted to. Brooklyn. It was asserted yesterday that John McGraw and Connie Mack visited Brooklyn on last Friday to look over the grounds for Manning, but it is believed that they could not find a suitable site, un- less it should be at East New York. The American league men say that if they should locate at Brooklyn they would meet with success, because pat rons of the game there want 25-cent ball. It is more probable, however, that if it comes down to cases, the American league men will try for Providence. McGraw announced that he has signed Joseph McGinnity the Iron Man." Brooklyn's star pitcher, who led the National league last sea- son. McGinnity says that he asked Hanlon to trade him to St Louis, so as McGraw offered an increase in salary of $500. he concluded to cast his lot with the Baltimore American league club, McGraw says he is almost cer- tain to land Pitcher Howell and Left Fielder Sheckard, also of the Brook lyns.

 | John Glasscock. manager of the Sioux City club of the Western base ball league, has received telegram from President Hickey of the Western league informing him that he was free to sign any Interstate players he de- sired. Glasscock is after three of Wheelings players. This is taken to mean either that the Interstate has not paid for protection or that the Western is going to join the American league l forces.

A Judlcious Selection.

The time is fast approaching whom
action must be taken by the democrats
of Harrison county for representation
in the coming Democratic State Con
vention. The convention has been
called to meet in the city of Des Nom
Wednesday, August 2lst, and Harrison
county will be entitled to l6 delegates
in said convention.
Before the meeting of the State con-
vention, county conventions must be
held and delegates selected, and the
party thoroughly organized for action.
The selection of delegates is of the
greatest Importance, and should be
made with due care, as none but true
men shout be entrusted with the duty
of selecting the candidates for State
officers, for upon judicious selection
depends the strength of the ticket.
| The question of success or defeat al
the polls does not enter into the consid.
Grafton of the selection of candidates.
Being in the minority in the State is
no good reason for PLACING in the field
a weak ticket; if we have but thous-
and votes in the State, that fact makes
1t the more important to select the
very best men in the nes t6te the vo.
lJna7atiu nnally triumph over all oppo.
sltiOn.
Another matter of some Importance
should be considered, and that is: Sbal!
we nave one or two conventional Az
the State Convention is the latter par,
OF August, might it not be good policy
10 hold but one convention at which to
select delegates to the State Conyen.
tlon and at the same time select the
delegates to the Senatorial convention
when called; and then nominate the
county ticket. This action would be-
q great saving in both in time and az.
pense. The time between the August
convention and the time for a county
convention would necessarily be short |
ana we can see no good reason why all |
the business cannot be done by holding |
one convention. If we are to nominate |
our best men, (Which is intended) then
the time of naming them is not impor-
lant. These are merely suggestions.
and If not thought advisable, then we
are ready to embrace the action of the
Central Committee, whatever that NAV

humble cradle, during the ma
tion's darkest hours he was our
bravest leader. Stark and Put
man, the military oracles of their
neighborhood, left their ploughs
in the field to join their brethren
in peril. Such names are the
jewels of our history to be gar
nered up among the treasures Of
the nation and kept immaculate
from the furnishing breath Of the
cynic and the doubter.
The history of the world is full
of how much depends upon in
dustry. Success in every art what-
ever may be the natural talent is
always the reward of industry.
See the encouragement thus given
to the Industrious in the rural
home, where we are animated by
the moving pictures OF enjoyment
and beauty. The bold, manly,
independent thoughts of Webster,
our great orator, found full sway
in the large corn6eld or turnip
patch, showing his sensibilitiee to
the milder beauties of civilized
culture Longfellow's Excel
sior" is beautiful illustration Of
the idea of energy that farm life
tended to develope for him.
Training to prove his superority
to the love of ease, the blandish-
ment of passions and the sternest
outward difficulties.
Il can also be said of Van
Buren,, son of an obscure farmer,
true to his early training, mani
tested great self-reliance, caring
not to follow but rather to make
public opinions, for he had q
statesman's soul, a soul true to
nature, and not that of an Office
seeker.
Farming is the foundation Of
every other industry. As the
handspring of the watch keeps
the other parts in motion, 80 the
farmer by his incessant toll keeps
the business world moving; and il
it we're not for the farmer, ell the
other industries would soon come
to q stand.still.
