THE BASE BALL SEASON is closed, and
summary Of the principal events will be found
elsewhere. The reputation of the professional
players has not been improved this year;
charges Of selling out games to make money
by outside bets have been made against sew
eral clubs, and in some cases have been sus-
tanned Professional base ball, in fact, seems
to be surrounded by corrupt and vulgar at
mosphere, and the disgust of the public has
been plainly shown by the comparatively
small attendance at the matches. The amateur
clubs have commanded more confidence, and
if the game is to be restored to the respectable
position it once occupied among our outdoor
amusements, it will probably be by their Of
forts Another season like that of 1874 will
probably make professional base ball as un-
profitable as it is discreditable.

Obscene Literature.

We cannot too highly commend the spirit
shown at the meeting of Brooklyn citizens the
other evening in reference to the suppression
of the trade in obscene literature. 1t is pos
sible that the agents of the society who have
this matter in charge may be needless and in
discreet in some of their acts, with tendency
to 60 beyond the law and do extreme acts like
Mr.. Bergh occasionally. 1t is SO easy for
earnest, fanatical men to be carried away be-
yond any respect for the rights Of person and
property that well meant movements are de-
stroyed. No one objects to the Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals nor to
the purposes underlying it but every one
objects to the attempts of its agents to super
sede the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and
the Declaration of Independence in their
efforts to enforce the law.
The Society for the Suppression of Vice will
fulfil its mission when, within the range Of
law, it suppresses the loathsome traffic which
now defles our city. The extent to which
this traffic has grown surprises and pains US.
We do not dwell particularly upon the
offeusiveness and indecency the violation of
social law and good taste involved in the dis
semination Of obscene literature; but we
think we can see in it the destruction of the
corner stone Of our social system. The minds
of children are tainted and poisoned, and no
discipline, no after care, can purify them.
From this poisonous influence come other
crimes-all other crimes we may say-so that
in striking at the dissemination of obscene
literature this body really makes its highest
contribution to q sound and wholesome So
ciety.

works In men to make them work for Him:
Mr.. Sweetser will tell young people how to be-
happy; Mr.. Cameron will hold up some Of
the follies and foibles of modern Christianity
as things to be avoided; Mr.. Boole will give
the second of his dramatic scenes from the
Bible, entitled "The Fatal Feast or, from
Life to DEATH" in two parts, and DR.. Porteous
will demonstrate some facts and fallacies in
Spiritualism. 1t seems to us from the titles
that many of these topics lack the one thing
needful to make them the saver of lite unto
those who shall hear. They are too abstract
and sensational

Won Arnim's Relations with Bis
marck.

Won Arnim's Relations with Bis
marck.
The postponement of the trial of Count
in his case; for, after all, it is likely that he
will be tried by public opinion, and that Bis
marck also must answer to that tribunal.
Already the principal facts in the case have
been made known; for, as it was impossible to
arrest a man of Won Arnim's position without
making definite charges, SO, when those accu-
sations were published, it was inevitable that
explanation should follow Our dispatches
from Berlin, which recently appeared in Ger
man and English, told Count Won Arnim's
side of the story, and were written by friend
who stands high in his confidence They
thus anticipated his defence, and indicate the
policy that will be pursued in the trial To-
day we print letter from Berlin
which throws additional light upon the
affair, and gives strong reason for
the opinion that the offence of Won Arnim
was not really against the State, but
against Bismarck. The Empress, the Crown
Princess and the Crown Prince appear to have
resented the iron rule of Bismarck and to have
aimed to curb it by advancing Won Arnim as
his rival. So our well informed correspond
ent says, and his views of the case have been
confirmed by the liberation Of the Count from
the strict confinement which Bismarck en-
forced. Had he committed crime against
the State the severity with which he was
treated would never have been relaxed, and
that he is now at liberty indicates that it
is not with the Emperor William that this
war is waged, but with Bismarck. The char
acter of the approaching trial may be, there
fore, inferred from the facts we have pub
lished in advance of even the German press,
and it is safe 10 form the conclusion that,
whatever may be the result Won Arnim's con-
viction of treason to the German Empire is in
the highest degree improbable.

Our Autumn season.

The amusement season grows better and
better. The opera did not begin well. In
the first place, Mr.. Strakosch made mistake
in his announcements. He told us he would
have star troupe and made merit OF this
AS we remarked at the time, star troupe
generally means q troupe without star, ana
music-loving people care as little about opera
Of that kind as toothsome children DO about
a plum pudding which has no plums. Then
the season began too early and failed, and 1t
seemed as if our opera was to give way 10 the
panic, like the Northern Pacific and other
railways, when Albani, o star, came to the
aid of the struggling impresario so thal
now we have good opera, or what bids falr
to be good opera, for we miss the support
that an artist like Albani should have We
are glad to note this success. Mr..
Strakosch is an honest manager, who
tries to keep his word with the people
and the artists, and who seeks to give us
all the novelties of the European stage. In
this respect he does not resemble some of our
former mpresarios-quacks in their way
who trifled with the public and did not really
serve them. The stockholders Of the Academy
and music-loving people generally should
thank Mr.. Strakosch for what he has done and
encourage him in his hopes of doing better.
The theatrical season is also brighter and
more prosperous. Miss Cushman plays her
farewell performances to the largest audiences
that have ever crowded Booths Theatre,
and on Saturday she will play for the
last time to as splendid an assembly
as that which recently waved the illus
trious Dejazet from her throne as the queen
of the Paris stage. Miss Nelson closed her
engagement last evening, and will probably
60 to the provinces to attract thousands with
her beauty and genius. The other theatres all
seem to have their share OF success.
Wallack, who seems to wear, by general
consent, the blue ribbon of American
stage management, continues on the
even paths of uninterrupted prosperity. His
name has passed into our speech as the
synonyme for perfection in dramatic art We
speak of q ''Wallack piece" as the highest
measure of stage art and acting, and of
s'Wallack audience" as the most fashionable
and appreciative of audiences. This comes
from the care and study which Mr. Wallack
devotes to his work. and his success only
illustrates the maxim that success never aban-
dons care and study.
The New York herald., 1874-11-01
ssUncle Dick"

sColonel Sellers" the keen correspondent
of q sprightly contemporary, insists upon mis-
understanding the relations existing between
more unaccountable because the author of
these letters is well known to be Friend
Billy Marston." Friend Billy is as well
known as Uncle Dick. He is the pupil, fol-
lower, friend and imitator Of the great Knick-
erbocker statesman and fnancler, and if he
continues to grow in ideas and character he
will be the Uncle Billy of the next generation,
succeeding Uncle Dick in the respect and
affection Of the community. But Friend Billy
lacks experience. He is indiscreet in his
friendships. He does not comprehend the
loftier attributes of Uncle Dick, that soaring
balloon genius which sees the whole world
rolled out before it like a map, and
whose statesmanlike vision embraces
seas and continents, and grapples with
European and Asiatic problems. Nor should
Friend Billy mock the ideas of Uncle Dick
in the columns of q newspaper, and after re-
ceiving the confidence of the power behind
the thrones of sixteen Presidents, the owner
of all the parties that have grown up since
1904, the originator of the purchase of Loui-
siana, the acquisition OF Florida, the annex
alton of New Mexico and the obtaining of
Alaska, the proposer Of the only feasible
means of obtaining Mexico and Cuba
namely, by subsidizing the Pope, write about
these grand projects in the columns of scof-
ing journal In some respects Friend Billy
is the equal Of Uncle Dick. He can sing o
better song, tell a wittier story, listen more
attentively to the midnight chimes and decide
as promptly between the merits Of q red-head
and canvas-back duck but when it comes to
the empyrean ranges of craftsmanship he
fails. Let Friend Billy accept our advice
and not interfere between the HERALD and
Uncle Dick. We mean to elect the last Of the
Knickerbockers and after he has served his
third term, and retires into honorable Sc
clusion as the Sage Of Rhinebeck we shall
support Friend Billy as his successor But
from now until Tuesday the war-cry is, "All
hail Uncle Dick!"

Pulpit Topics To-day.

This being the festival of All Hallows, or
All Saints, it will be observed in many churches
with sermons appropriate to the day. DR..
Thompson, Mr.. Sweetser and Mr.. Pullman
will speak about the communion of saints.
The latter will have something to say also about
ethics and politics. The subject Of missions
and churches for the masses in this city will
receive the attention OF Drs. Reid, Lodge, Bow
dish and others. Mr. Ganse will tell what he
knows about heaven and indicate the differ
ence between Pharaoh penitent and Pharaoh
stony-hearted. Mr.. Hepworth will present. sal
vation as o word; Mr.. Cameron will offer it as
o fact, life and hope. Mr.. Boole will pre-
sent it in contrast to its antithesis, sin. and
indicate how it meets and overcomes the lat
ter. Mr.. Terry will show how misspent life
is like the barren fig tree-it presents nothing
but leaves-and he will therefore call upon the
young to prune themselves that they may bring
forth fruit with patience to the glory of God.
Mr.. Corbit will follow the sinner and saint to
the Judgment Day and will leave them there,
but DR.. Porteous will take dive not only into
the world OF spirits but into Hades itself, that
he may tell the people why Christ went thither.
Dr. Ever will point out the difference be-
tween the spiritual life and the moral life, and
will make manifest three of the modern de-
vices OF the devil against the Church. The
Doctor might add three times three of such
devices. DR.. Fulton, who ought to know,
will prove to-day, not that 1t pays to serve
Christ, but that such service is not losing
business, SO that at worst man will hold his
own. This is rather poor encouragement for
the worldly to enter the service of Christ. DIR.
Cuyler will speak about Christian experience !;
Mr.. Bonham will describe the great awakening
in the Church of England, better known as
the mission - DR.. Deems will talk about
Lott Mr. Macarthur about Paul at Antioch
and the value of united heart given to
Christ; Mr.. Hawthorne will indicate some
hindrances to prayer and show how God

A "niles o'R.,lly" Canvas.

The canvass for the Office of Register has
become sentimental, and it may be called the
poetry Of the campaign. The Office is mainly
one Of record, and is SO largely endowed with
fees that it has become very valuable.
We do not care to say anything against the
character Of the Tammany candidate, whose
especial claim to the Office is the affection of
Mr.. Morrissey But we have something to
say in reference to the nominee of the anti
Tammany party, General Patrick II. Jones,
whose canvass seems to be in the ascendant.
General Jones is q soldier. He was born in
Ireland, came here in his youth entered the
army as private, came out as brigadier
general, was severely wounded, afterward was
elected Clerk of the Court of Appeals, and
when General Grant became President was
appointed Postmaster Of New York at the per-
sonal request Of Horace Greeley.
There could be no better record than this
but there is still another phase especially
worthy Of remembrance now. When the
lamented Halpine, known and loved by every
Irishman as "Miles O'Reilly," suddenly died
in the occupation of the Register Office General
Jones accepted the appointment discharged
the duties Of the station and paid every dollar
of the emolunents, amounting, as they did,
to several thousands of dollars. to the widow
and orphan children Of the deceased Register
As consequence the family of the brilliant
and lamented Irishman was lifted from want
This act of generous magnanimity shines Like
star out Of the dark and murky heavens of
our selfish modern politics. There is not an
Irishman in New York who does not or
should not remember it. The memory Of
"Miles O Reilly" is the halo that surrounds the
canvass of General Jones and if he wins on
Tuesday, as seems probable, the result will be
that sentiment and respect for generous deeds
and appreciation of magnanimity and kind
ness to the unfortunate have proved more
powerful than machines or rings, or even
"bosom friends

THE RACES AT JEROME PARK yesterday were
favored by large and brilliant attendance, and
justified the expectations of the public. We give
an interesting description of the contests, and
are pleased to point out that two palpable at
tempts at fraud were promptly and severely
punished. There is no course in the country
on which it is more unsafe for jockey to
attempt cheating than that Of Jerome Park,
and this energetic action Of the American
Jockey Club will add to its reputation.

much OF Its superabundant rhetoric Is more
figure of speech than reality. 1t has little
right to talk ofits neighbors broken panes until
itmends the glass in its own roof The Church
Of the Reformation will hardly hold lis own
unless it begins to reform itself, and it has
small claim to the respectful regard of the
people if it can find nothing better to do than
to inaugurate rebellions and then call conven-
tons to put them down.
1t was once said of Quakerism that it began
by abolishing all forms, and settled down at
last to the form of hat and coat We may
say of Professionalism that it began with great
flourish of trumpets about individual liberty
and the right of every man to worship
God in his own way and is ending
by such an iron tyranny that unless
man accepts given amount OF rit-
ualism and is baptized in q given amount
of water he is turned out Of house and home.
So far as we can understand the spirit of the
two conventions to which we have referred
man is allowed the most perfect liberty to
think just as he is told to, and in no other way.
He may talk about freedom till the popular
ear is charmed by his eloquent periods, but
the only freedom he actually enjoys is the free
dom to conform his ideas very strictly to the
regulation standard and to cry "Amen I" as
loud as he pleases at the dictation of leader.
It is no wonder that the general public sees
through this thin disguise, and, detecting the
iron hand under the velvet covering, manages
to keep out of its reach. It is full time that
such boys play should cease and that the
churches should be told that history has but
one standard Of truthfulness earnestness and
value and that is honest work
