CHICAGO, May 1.-THE western teams
having finished up their first series of six
games with each other their eastern OPP
ponents are now engaging their atten-
ton. The Philadelphia team, one of the
two newly admitted league clubs, met the
Chicago team for the first time to-day on
the home grounds of the latter and were de-
feated, though the victory was not one to
crow over. 1t was anybody's game up to
the last inning, and at the start the visitors
lead by several tallies. 1t was very poor
exhibition of ball playing, and only ap
pealed to the enthusiasm or attention of
the spectators through the great amount of
clean hitting by both sides. The score
was eleven to nine and there were a
great many needless errors on both sides.
This will be seen when it is known that
out of the nine runs made by the visitors
| only two were earned. To ti,a eat dis
gust of the patrons OF the game, Capt. An
son made four bad errors. He let three
of the runs be made. Pfeffer again
made errors, but batted better than in pre-
vious games. Goldsmith and Flint
| for Chicago, and Coleman and Rem
| 90 for Philadelphia, were the batters.
| The latter two are new players lately talk
| ed so much of, who signed to Peoria for
| their northwestern league team there early
| in the spring, but who were given to
| Philadelphia at the time of the conference
! of league committees. Both were semi
| professional last year. Mcclellan and
| Manning were both Chicago boys, and have
only played professionally the past year.
Bobby" Ferguson captained the visitors.
1t has been Ferguson's luck to always play
with the most unfortunate team IN the
league. The Philadelphias have not won
league game this season, and are the
weakest team of the eight playing.

by Captain Bates, will arrive there to-day
and be Immediately taken to Fort Gibson
where their affairs will be Investigated by
United States commissioners, specially ap-

The Cherokee Indian council is still in
session at .Taslequah, but not making
much progress. Several bills were intro,
duced, but no definite action yet taken.
A good many stock men are present
looking after their interests. Several bids
were made to rent what is known as the
Cherokee strip, as high as $120,00O having
been offered by one company. This is
twice as much as the Indians have realized
from it by previous methods.

An Undertaken and Bartender Fight a
Bloodless Duel With Rapiers-A Peace
Declared After Few Harmless Passes.
Especial Telegram to the Globe
CHICAGO, May ia duel was fought
last evening in Bowmanville. 1t was
fought after the French mode, where the
idea is to secure the maximum amount of
horror by splitting the minimum quantity
of blood. The names given start on the
road to posterity through connection with
the affair are owned by Charles F. II.
Muller, an undertaken at 346 Larrabee
street, and William Bushorn, barkeeper,
at $40 Larrabee street. Both are married
men and have families, have been &C
quainted for long time, and their places
of business are on directly opposite sides
of the street. Muller's favorite place for
quaffing the foaming lager is at the bar
presided over by Bushorn. 1t was during
an evening thus passed in the early part of
the week that Bushorn made remark re-
hecting on the character of girl who
had for two or three years been in the en-
ploy of Muller's family. Muller indignant
" denied that the insinuation was
based on the foundation OF truth and cast
ing past friendship to the winds, they de-
termiued to back their different opinions
on the duel ground. Mr.. Bushorn chal-
lenged Muller. The latter, with truly
cOmmendable sense of self-preservation,
chose rapiers as the weapons. Muller took
as seconds DIR. Raymond Ulrich, of 81

The city of Lancaster cannot do better
than to erect tents for the use of its small
pox patients. Tents make the best hos
pitals. During the civil war, patients
suffering from wounds or disease did
better when cared for in tents than when
sent to the city hospitals The percentage
of cures of patients sheltered from sup,
wind and rain. but given the ventilation
of all out doors, was very much greater
than the percentage Of cases cured in the
hospitals.
The smallpox patient especially is
benefited by the pure air and greater
degree of cleanliness that is possible to bs
maintained by the use of tents. A desth
rate of so or 60 per cent has Eot been
unusual, and even as high death rate as
80 per cent has been reached in the small
pcx hospitals. Besides tne favorable
showing of the records for the use of tents
they have the additional advantage of low
first cost, and they can be destroyed when
the epidemic has been overcome. .........
By the use of the proper kind of tents, by
the selection of suitable site for their
erection and by prompt action Lancaster
can stamp out the smallpox before the
approach of cold weather. 1t will be very
much easier to prevent an epidemic now
than to stop it then.

the malady out in that district. There is

not denied that what cholera there is there

gravest cause for 40 Immediate alarm
upon the subject exists in the fact that the
scourge had a strong hold in Alexandria
before its existence was acknowledged by
the sanitary authorities there or they had
qusrantined the port. There are several
vessels due soon in London which left
Alexandria just before the quarantine
there and their arrival is dreaded. The

severe diarrhea and dysentery are unusu-
ally common in the East End, and the
weather, which has been rainy, chilly and
humid, has been quite favorable for the
spread of choleraic complaints.

In view of much we'll. founded popular
criticism and tho unanimous adverse
opinion of the three daily newspapers Of
this city upon the project to build q
5000 hospital in thirty days, the county
authorities seem to hesitate about carry
ing out the resolution passed the other
day by Commissioners Myers and
Sunny. They might easily have
foreseeu that they would come
to a pass where they would
recognize that their action was hasty
and ill-considered. It is right that the
county should provide f6r such exigen.
c;es as have arisen out Of the prevalence
of smallpox and, as the mayor. says the
city, which pays its ample quota OF
county tax, is no more called upon to
do any part of the county's work than
any other town or township in the
county. If temporary emergency is to
be provided for it should have been done
in a temporary way and while the COM
missioners have been pothering over the
wrong way to do the right thing they
might have provided tents, frame hos.
pital or whatever is the best means of
treating smallpox patients and met every
demand which could arise until perma-
nent hospital could be erected in a proper
and lawful way. II they continue in
doubt as to their duty let them make
their temporary arrangements without
any further delay and proceed in an
orderly and systematic manner to ar
range for the building and fitting up of
a permanent hospital but in no event
should they persist in the blunder of
undertaking to finish a brick building
for the reception Of hospital patients in
the Ben Mishler style of running up
buildings.
Under the discussion which has been
had about the proper sort of hospital for
contagious diseases it has become very
doubtful, indeed, in our opinion,
whether brick structure is the
best that can be provided for the
purpose The editor Of the Ne,o Era
gives valuable testimony on this point
in relating the experience Of the Will
mington authorities as personally de-
tailed to him. And there can be nC
doubt that the county, before determin-
ing what it should build, should secure
the best light to be had as to how it may
build best.

Fair Representation.

The Philadelphia Press thinks IL has,
forsooth, found a mares nest by the
discovery that in the coming Democratic
state convention Allegheny county will
have l6 delegates and Philadelphia SO.
Hence, ''the voice of Cameron, Elk For
est, Fulton, Pike, Potter, Sullivan and
Union counties, which send but one
delegate each, will scarcely be heard
amidst the demands of the large cities )"
''the people of the state will hesitate long
before granting a permanent lease OF
power to that party whose rules lock t"
a government Of the state from the
cities - 1.-the Democratic party rules
would serve to continue an ONtr
shadowing city influence in the state
government, provided the voters would
elect the ticket named by convention
in which it will he So easy for the cities
and the populous Democratic counties
to make commol cause"
This is an original discovery, indet d.
Let us see how the case stands by coL-
parison with the make up Of the Repub.
lican state convention. Allegheny and
Philadelphia together have IS delegates
in Democratic state convention of 35@,
less than One-fOurth-or, to be exact
less than "a per cent. of the whole num-
ber. In Republican state convention
these counties have GA delegates out Of 25l
over one fourth, more than 25 per cent.
1t is mere affectation of the Press. un-
founded in fact. that the cities have any
undue influence in the Democratic state
convention. On the other hand, the
delegates being apportioned on the party
vote and the solid masses of that vote
being found in the rural districts, they
are represented by the large delegations
from counties like Berks, Luzerne,
Schuylkill, Lancaster, Montgomery,
Bucks, York, Westmoreland and Le-
high.
While the Democratic system of REL
resentation in state conventions is fair
and even, that of the Republicans is
not. The latter holds to the old and
absurd idea of senatorial and represe n
tatiye delegates. a meaningless classifi
cation it also gives as great representa-
tion to 10000 members of the party in
one part of the state as to 10000 in
another, and makes 1t possible for the
Representatives of . small minority Of
the party to make its nominations. In
the state, like In national conventions,
the Stalwart wing of the party has often
taken advantage of this to defeat
the will of the party majority by pOliii-
cL strategy. As a matter Of history, in
Pennsylvania Republican conventions,
the heoverwbelming influence of the largest
two cities of the state, when joined with
the undue representation of the minority
counties, has again and again exercised
control while in Democratic state con-
ventions this state Of affairs has been
very rare; and under the new rules the

realize as fact, which may as we'll be
brought to the attention of the people of
South Carolina, that it is the opinion of
decided majority Of the national Demo
or ,tic party that to force the tariff issue
into the campaign of 1884 will result in
the inevitable defeat of the Democratic
party at that election. Most men take a
superficial view of this great question of
political economy, and it is not when men
are under the heat of political canvass
that they change their views on economic
questions. And It is beyond question that
defeat of the Democratic party in 1884,
upon the issue of tariff, will postpone
indefinitely any substantial tariff reform
and fix the shackles of protection upon
Us firmly and securely for many years.
Hence l believe that the Democracy and
tariff reform are in greater danger from the
zeal Of its friends than from
any other source. If the Democracy ex-
pect to win in 1884 they must learn some
what from lessons of the past.
