The reason for this change, as glven In the St. Louls Republican, is that saloon-keepers In some parts of the state were in the habit of taking outa cheap wine and beer license and then sell- ing all kinds of liquor, to the Injury of honest licenszes who falthfally observed the law, All the amendments are In the direction of the new high-license law of Adams reaches Omaha, His presence S __| of the railroad bosses was intense, Jim wil hucftl;]e effact of a Manltoba wave Inied had forosd his momination St P for congress through the republican the | convention by the gravel-traln brigade.

AccorpiNe to Mr, Clarkeon, who con- trols the agency of the assoclated press at Des Molnes, the inter-state commerce committee was greatly pleased at the In- formation and advice glven at Des Moines in regard to the regulation of railroad trafic. Mr, Clarkson takes pains to inform the country through the assoclated press that nearly all the wit- neeses before the commlittee teemed to favor federal control of railroads bya commiesion, rather than by statute regu- lation. It ls this feature, we take it, that pleases the committee as well as Mr. Clarkson. The railroads under the con- trol of a commission, and the commlission under the control of the rallroads, would be satiefactory both to the rallroads and the commissioners. The people would continue to be fleeced as they now are, and Wall Street would continue its lamb- shearing with iis customary neatness and dispatch, Tae leiter from an offended democrat, about offensive partisanship in the Omaha postoffice, which we republish from the St. Louls Globe-Democrat, wiil atiract agreat deal of attentlon in this com- munity., It will open the eyes of the democricy to the fact that we need a nlght-school in Omaha for offended dem- ocrats.

L — BASE BALL, A Liyely Game Between the Omahas and Union Pacific Shops Olubs Yesterday, As will be seen by the scoro, given be- low, quite a lively and Interesting game of base ball was played yesterday after- noon at Athletic park. The rejuvenated and reorganizad Omabas crossed bats with a nine from the Union Pacific shops, and it is conceded by every one who was therc that thb contest gave more satisfactory enjoyment and pleasure to the spectators than any of the league games played here. Of course the shop ho; badly worsted, 13 to 3, but that was to be expected when the fact was taken Into covelderation that a majority of thelr opponents aro professionals tn the busi- ness, However the shop boys showed long nerves and did some very good playing at all points of the diamond. The Omaha’s had among thelr number four of the old Union Pacific club, and with them the nine presented quite a credlt- able display of strength, when John Withnell, who acted as umpire called time, and the two clubs took thelr p! with the Omahas at the bat. The and second innings were without special foatures to create any laudations over, but both clubs showed that they wore on thelr metal and meant business. Netther made a run, In the third inning, however, the Omahas put their best of- forts to the front and run up three soores. This break evidently 1astled the shop boys somewhat, because in the next Inning they allowed their antagonlsts to make five rans, while they wero kept down to nothing, uatil the seventh Inning, and then they were only ono mark; aud in the last in- ning they managed to count up two more. McCreary Is to b credited with having pleked a red hot ball out of the alr with cne hand and pat it to first in fine style, and Salsbury cistloruished himself with one or two plays that elicltsd applanse from the spectators.
