EDITURlAL COMMENTS.
The Issues For the campaign


Pittsburs Dispatch, Ed.
Mr.. Hcnsel's utterancos mark out the
programme of the Democratic managers
in the next campaign. They will have no
tariff issue in the fight if they can help it
The VenangO county platform will not be
reiterated by the state convention. Nor
will they accept tho verdict of the people
of Ohio upon the liquor question as Con-
elusive or even potential in their case in
Pennsylvania. The mismanagement of the
fiscal affairs Of the commonwealth, if there
has been any, the reform record Of the
Democratic House, if it can be discovered,
the negative reform qualities Of the regular
Republicans in the Senate, if they have
been derelict, with the undOubted positive
virtues of the Democratic executive and
the partisan unfairness of the Republicans
in their treatment Of the appOrtiOnment
question-upon these the Democracy of
Pennsylvania will rest it's case. In fine,
We are to have state campaign upon state
issues. 1t is we'll for Mr.. Cooper, Or Mr..
Smith, or Mr.. Hoyt, or Mr.. Stewart, or
whoever is to marshal the battaliOns on
the other side, to know this now, that he
may prepare to meet it.
Concerning Cordial Relations.
Philadelphia Press.
Chairman Hensel laments the fact that
the governors confidential counselors are
not the leaders of the Democratic party in
the Legislature and tho state. II this
peculiar condition of the relations between
the governor and those persons considered
by Mr.. HeDsel to be tho Democratic lead
ers accounts for the striking difference be-
tween the excellent record made by the
administration and the record Of the
Democratic party in the Legislature, in
Guiding the failure to fulfill the campaign
promises of reform and economy, the cause
for tho Democratic chairman's regret is
somewhat obscure, unless, indeed, it arises
from lack of cordial relations between
the governor and the chairman.

THERE is sensible reaction against
the trade dollar craze. In the larger
cities some of the leading business houses
will continue to take the coin and pay it
out, and they may find great advantage
in doing it, for many of their customers
will accept the trade dollar if they know
they can turn it in again over the same
counter and new customers loaded up
with trade dollars will naturally have
their patronage attracted to places where
they can get 100 cents value for it. The
banks will, no doubt, receive them on
special deposit, aud the tradesmen can
put them in and draw them out again.
Last year the miuts of the country

by death in a somewhat strange manner.
About four years ago young man sup
posed to be cOusu,nptive paid attentions

died. A0ou: two years later the young
man paid attention to the younger daugh
ter, and after about a years cOurtship she
too contracted tho disease, from the effects
of which she died last Friday. 1t is
creating considerable talk, since it has
been learned that the young man is at the
point of death at Easton. L. is profess

man caught the disease from inhalation Of

the belief that consumption is contagious
to certain degree. The disease was
never among the kin of the Sassamans.

BASEBALL.
The Interstate Association

at meeting OF the Inter State Baseball
association in Philadelphia yesterday a
new schedule of games was adopted.
Under the old one, arranged at the begin
ming of the season, six games were to be
played at home and six abroad, but,
according to the new rule, which goes into
effect to day, each club will have to play
during the next three months thirty games
at home and thirty abroal, making sixty
in the aggregate.
The following umpircs were appointed
on tho American association plan, and
will travel with the clubs John Holland,
Reading E. A. Griffith, PoJtsville !;
Frank Bent, Camden, N. J =, aud DAILY,
Brooklyn, N. Y.
The board of directors, composed of
Messrs. Fox, Fields, Rodearmel and
Watt, rendered decisions in four cases of
protest against tho judgments of umpirss.
The first case called was that of the
Actives, who appealed against the decision
of the umpire in declaring game in favor
of the Trenton club. Mr.. Fox claimed
that one of the Actives had made home
run, but that the umpire refused to allow
it on the ground that the runner had not
touched second base. The board ordered
the game to be played over again.
The next case was that OF the Harris
burg club, who alleged that during the
last half of the fifth inning in game with
the Trenton club it commenced to rain,
and the umpire gave the game to tho latter
because the Harrisburg team stopped
playing before the umpire called time.
Mr.. ROdearmel stated that according to
the rules of the American association, the
umpire was compelled to declare it "No
game" unless five innings had been COM
pleted On each side. A postponement of
the hearing of the case was refused, the
decision of the umpire was sustained, and
a request for a reconsideration was also
refused, but permission was granted to
take an appeal from tho decision of the
board of the association. The protest of
the Brooklyn club against the decision of
the umpire in giving game to the Actives
was dismissed, as was also that of the
Harrisburg club against the Wilmington
club.
