A WORD OF WA It NINO. The republican state convonlion asaom * bios nt Ltnoilri on thu lit day of May , to select four delegates at largo to tbo na * tional convention , Upon the action of this ODnvontion depends to a great oxtout the success ot thu party in the impending campaign. If tbo dolrgatos chosen to represent Nobroska republicans are in any way tainted with the blight of monopoly It will bo an avowed admission that tl.o party still continues to bo dominated over by tlio railroads , and cannot hope to emancipate itaolf from their despotic rule. No matter how loyal republican anti-mo * nopolists may bo to the cardinal princi ples of republicanism they will refuse to support its candilatea this fall if it is a foregone conclusion that the party in Ne braska merely registers the decree of the railroad bosaoa. No matter how earnest ly wo might dcsiro republican success wo could not rotoncilo republican anti-mo nopolists to a support of republican candidates while railroad nttornojn and lobbyists are its moat honored represent atives in the councils of the nation. As a sincere friend wo would warn republi cans of Nobranka against committing themselves again to the disastrous policy that has driven moro than 12,000 repub licans nut of the party into the antimonopoly nopoly ranks. The oflicial organ of the Union Pacific railroad asks the republicans of Nebras ka to send John M. Thurstonos delegate at largo to Chicago. Will the party reck lessly defy the known sentiment among the masses , by selecting as ono of its representatives in the national conven tion the chief political attorney and lob byist of the giant monopoly ? Are there no men of approved ability and integrity to bo found in the republican ranks out side of the corporation employ ? In the > arty so slavish and degraded that it can only do honor to the men who draw prince- y salaries from railroad monopolies for making primaries and conventions , brib * ng and debauching legislatures , and sub verting justice iu our courts by venal ju ries ? Will the republicans of Nebraska of use to profit by the bitter experience of the past two years which was duo on- iiroly to the bulldozing and overreaching lolicy of such railroad bosses as John M. ? hunton ? Four years ago the ropub- icana of Nebraska could not vote for 'amos A. Qarfiold without voting for 'huraton and Laird , the one chief lobby- at of the Union Pacifio ana the other the political attorno/ the Burlington rail * oad , who vroro forced upon the electoral iokot by the monopoly bulldozers , lam't this man Thuraton boon honored nough in being made an elector at the presidential election of 1880. Is the next president again to bo laid under ributo by the Union Pacific railroad hrough Thuraton as a delegate to the national convention ? Lot republican oadura who desire to go before the poo- ilo next fall calmly reflect before they end themselves to this brazen attempt o make the party a raero hewer of wood and drawer of water for railroads , jet them remember in the language of VanWyck that tha ballot box has its icalthy revenges where the mass of the larty has boon overreached or betrayed. COLORADO , in order to chock the rush of her miners to Couur d'Alono , in Idaho , pruug a boom of her own in the shape of a great gold discovery in a gulch , which had been abandoned for eighteen pears. It was claimed that if the ere was as rich throughout as the assays in dicate , $8,000 to $15,000 could bo pro duced per day by every man employed. t was expected that this would hold the minors in Colorado , but unfortunately it ow turns out that the story is a fiction , ud consequently the boom has fallen by lie wayside. Ounimissioner Mi-Fttrland , of the gen- iral lund office , rules that an agreement node prior to proving up on pro-uwption iluims , to mortguuo the lands , dooa not invalidate the claimant's right to prove jp.

In nil the toy , game and sporting goods tores the now mipply of balls for ttio amo of base ball has bcon laid in , and ho balls , lying in pastoboara compart * nonto and rolled up in tinfoil , or having heir covering ! colored red or blue , nro as > retty as so many Easier egus. The irst-class regulation ball for tsis year islet lot different from that in usa last year , t coats 81 50 and cells at wholesale at ho rata of $15 a dozen. It weighs about vo ounces , and when thrown on a boaid ojr sounds like n young paving stone t is just about nb solid and M heavy as turnip of the same size , and , thou h it s perfectly round and smooth nnd the titchcs are almost even with the leather , tstingstho uncallousod hatidot its catcher s if it were red hot or covered with mckora. Daso balls are dear bocauao they are nada by hand , and they are made by land because they must bo wound very ightly , carefully and ovonly. The basis f each ono is a little lump of Para rub ier , round and weighing an ounco. Vound around this in every direction is worsted yarn. ' In nome balls , after a hick layer of yarn is wound on , the ball s dipped in rubber , then moro yarn is wound on ; then it is dipped again , and nally yet moro is wound on , and then ho cover is Attod over it. Ono ball fleeted by many professionals haa a thin kin of concrete midway between the ever and the rubber. Girls rnako all the allo. The process is something like that f making certain mixed drinks , wherein ho bar-tender puts in lomou to made hem sour and sugar to make them wcot. Players want what is called a oad ball , that is , ono that won't bounce much. A stone will bounce moro than base ball ought to. So the rubber is iut iu to make it bounce just a litto , nd the yarn is wound tight and con- rote is added to stop it bouncing at 11. Thus the happy medium is reached , omotimos moulded vulcanized rubber is sod. sod.Tho The best balls are covered with horso- kin because it is strong and tough. Many f thcso are sowed with catgut , but in amp weather the catgut loosens , and acroforo at such times those balls are sed which are stitched with flax. Professionals have agreed upon the est form of ball and have ruled that t shall accord with those spocitiations : The ball must weigh not less than live .or moro than five and ono-quartor ounces avoirdupois. It must measure not less han nine nor moro than nine and ono- uartor inches in circumforerenco. Itr nustbo composed of woollen yarn , and halrnot contain moro than ono ouuca of vulcanized rubber in mould form and hall bo covered with leather.

President Authur. is con sidorcd a very good man. I find this the imso everywhere. It is to bo attributed , no doubt , to the fact that his administra tion has been a plousant surprise. The people looked with distrust upon a vice presidential Administration. I have lived through three of them myself , and noitho was satisfactory to the country.
