The Davenport Tlmcx man don't
hcein to appreciate the noble qualillcs
ofth baseball player. He says: Tim
editorial tihility expended in account
ing for the way in which various am
bitions baseball teams lose, their grip
is calculated to make the professional
player imagine himself the most im
portant man in the country that 1
provided the professional can read."
The stockranehors down in Nevada
nro jrouijr into alfalfa culture on a
large scale. The Silver State says:
"Nearly all the prominent farmers
have cleared off new ground and
owcd it to alfalfa this year, so that
the acreage will he materially in
creased. There is ill wiry good de
mand for airalfa for fattening beeves ,
and the demand is increasing steadi
ly." This is a pointer tor our Un
ion county farmers.
The editors of the U'alloiru Chief
tain don't know why tho indebted
ness of Union county should increase
so much in a few months. It proba
bly has not occurred to him that the
indebtedness is perfectly stationary,
and that other causes, such as the
deliniuent taxes (of which Wallowa
county was apportioned mid received
her share some months ago) not being
deducted, ct-j. The hallucination un
der which brother Mc.Cullv seems to be
laboring will gradually be dispelled.
With this is.uo tho Scoi'T enters
upon the fourth year of its existence.
t is needless for us to expatiate on
the rapid growth made by it during
the last year, as it is apparent to
overyone. The evidences of its pros
perity are to be found on every page,
mill in every column. Wo take this
occasion to IhaiiK our many patrons
for their liberal support, and our
friends and correspondents for their
zealous efforts in our behalf. We
shall try and deserve their kindness,
ami can assure them that it is fully
appreciated AVith such assistance
the .Scorr cannot help but grow
powerful and prosper.
It is reported from Washington that
(here is it dlfffirenco of opinion of the
members of the Inter-stnto Commerce
Commission relalivo to the suspension
of Miction four, which contains tho
long and shoit haul cl,iu-o of the act.
.Judge Coolcy and Colonel MorrWon
nro said to favor the enforcement of
tho act in its entirety, while tho other
three members of tho Commission be
lieve that so far as the southern roads
are concerned the clause ought to hu
permanently suspended. The time
tor which tho clause was suspended
on tho southern roads will expire on
July nth, mid whethor tho Commiss
ion will reach a delinite conclusion in
regard to the matter hy that time is as
vet uncertain.

tli nli.t tifnnove . u hen he was a
soldier in the Union
war. one day while
PnttiM-sciu became suddcnlv blind
Ho wandered around helplessly ror
some days, and being missed from the
Camp, he was classed ns a dos-crter. ,
On his return to ICImlra his wife and
children abandoin:d him on account, j
prolfably. of his disposition to drunk- j
euess. Kor eighteen years lie went ;

f. ained shepherd dog, hi only friend
Now the possession of
amount of hi back pension, and the
surety of a month during his life
lime, has caused his family and for
mer friends to rally around him to that
degree that he is in danger of being
reduced to returning to his former
partnership with the dog, through
their avarice and greed. He applied
for a pension some years ago. but the
dilllnulty of explaining away the
charge of desertion caused the delay.
The American Telephone Co. arc j
unpleasantly conspicuous at present j
through the publicity given die former !
lile of its Vice-President, T. AV. Ty- ;
ror. Mr. Tyrer has lived for several
years in Washington, and has been
largely interested in the North Wash
ington Improvement Co. Some ene
mies of his and the Company have
published lhee statements in order o
break down Tyrer and the Company.
The hitler .seem able to stand tho ,
assault, as an investigation by a com
mittee of thu stock holders, develops
no fraudulent transactions, but Tyrer i
will probably go to the wall, as the j
charges against him arc (rue. Mr. !
Tvrer does not denv having served a I
term for lorgery. Man's vengeance
on man is relentless and once a dis
covered criminal , a) ways u criminal,
and though we are told of the joy in
Heaven over one sinner that lepeut
cth, there is very little belief on earth
in his repentance, and ho is told that
Cod will forgive him, but man cannot.
The chances for the prevention of
crime arc constantly rct'irded by its
being almost an impossibility for a
man who has once been convicted of a
crimo, to ictiirn to the association of
hunest people. So long as Christian!- I
ty withhold its confidence from those I
who havo erred, so long will our prU-
ous bcinore than half tilled by those
who arc serving their second and third ,
terms. I
The proposal to utilize the Uevenuo '
.Marino bv appointing Graduates of
thu U. S. Naval Academy to tho va
cancies in that service is again under
diciission. As it now stands tho
graduates of Hie Academy nrcr given
$1000. and relegated to private.- life,
with the exception of a few who stand
at tho head of the class. They are
appointed to such places as may bo
vacant in the Navy at the timo of their
graduation. The idea is. that tho
ltevcnuo Marine Service offers a field
of usefnlliiess for tho other gnduates.
It might ho considered that a young
man with a tine education and $1000.

tho battle of lire without the Govern
ment which has already educated him
