Baseball has not yet been famed out
by the financial fiurryin fact the n&-
tional sport has come to bat stronger
than ever, according to the jobbers Of
baseball things. 1t is, too, sad COM
mentary that the fellow who acquires
some reputation as a professional ballist
receives almost any salary he may de-
mand, while the man who has given the
best period of prudent, intelligent and
industrious life to help himself and his
fellowmen too frequently his talents
are not appreciated or wanted. The
fault, if it may be termed fault, is in
the people themselves.

UNANIMOUS FOR BRYAN AND ALL THAT
GOES WITH HIM.

Wisconsin democracy had field day
its state convention held in Milwau-
kee. 1t was not all harmony, however,
more hair pulling and airing of dirty
political linen than has been exhibited at
a party gathering for years. The stan
dard of party faith was Bryan. Ven
geance to him who had dared to dis
pute the Instability of the great anoint-
ed. Anyway, it was source Of enjoy
ment to the on-lookers who witnessed
the enthusiasm of the sprouting young
orators that lambasted republieanism
and republicans, for that has been the
principal diet and creed of democracy
from time immemoriai. We observe,
too, that our democratic congressman
left his seat and travelled all the way
from Washington to Milwaukee to join
in the chorus of denunciation against
republicans and republican principles
and policies, yet we doubt not that
within few weeks he win go prowl-
ing all over this district explaining to
republicans ''as how he is not much of
party man, anyway" and begging
their support for reelection.
The scrap for an opportunity to sit
in the convention that will nominate,
for the third time, the great apostle of
free silver and free trade, was exciting
and at times threatened bloodshed
among the leaders.
The delegates at large chosen are:
John A. Aylward of Madison, Congress
man Weise Of Sheboygan, M. A. Hoyt
of Milwaukee, H. H. Manson of Wau-
sau. Alternates Congressman j. w.

dictate that not fewer than one marriage In Twelve

appear to be higher In the United States than In
