allowed to play, practice, or give exhibition
games among themselves before the COM

agreed on. The rule in relation to an
umpire forfeiting game on account OF
three foul balks was stricken out, In the
future the batsman becomes base runner
instantly after two foul balks are declared.

one base. In the summary of the game
there should be credited to the pitcher the

Inc ugnres Tor the past uVe years are as
officially reported by the treasury depart.
ment The figures for the fiscal year
1884 give the amount reported by the
senate committee. which is a quarter of a
million more than that of the bill of the
house. But this sum does not cover ad-
ditions made by the senate. over and
above the appropriations recommended
by the committee.
Last year the legislative bill created fif-
teen hundred and ifteen-seven new offices,
mostly on the pretence of Fastening the
settlement of pensions. 1t was well known
at the time that this multitude of officers
could not be worked advantageously for
the pretended object, since there was
actually no house room for them. Mem
bers of congress and others wanted
places for their friends, so the additional
offices were voted. 1t was alleged that
$3.50, 900, 900 would be required for pen.
sions next year, and that this great increase
of clerical force was Indispensable for the
work. The actual estimates of the treas
ury in December were $l01, 600, 900 for
pensions, and the appropriations, are
aoeut $85, 600 900. This wide difference
between the estimate and the fact could
not have been accidental.
The present bill creates mere than one
hundred and twenty-five new offices, it
raises the salaries of many of those that are
most literally paid already, and it provides
comfortable places. with excessive pay,
for many of the present incimbents under
changed official designations. More than
this the bill approprlates one months extra
salary for all the annual and session en-
ployes of the house, who are among the
most favored of the public servants They
average about five months year of actual
attendance at the capitol.
These reckless misapproprlations of the
peoples money are truly Robesonian in
their magnitude and audacity.

The Rev. J. Hyatt smitl, says he did not

The Rev. J. Hyatt Smith says he did not
go TO congress to make speeches. Heco
siders speech making one of the least i'm
portant duties of the legislator, and has
learned that the real work is done in the
committee rooms, and by personal contact
with the members. He intimates that
most of the men who do the speech making
are not the equals of Webster, Clay, CAL
houn and the other intellectual giants who
always gave something worth listening to
when they spoke. Brother Smith SAYS that
as vet he has had no need to make a
speech, and that he has had no vanity to
crafty in that direction. And vet he ad
mits that he may in weak moment be be-
trayed into the folly of harangue on the
floor. He is in favor of the abolition of
the internal revenue taxes extept N
whiskey and tobacco. When he leaves
congress he will lecture on what he knows
about politics. 1t is understood that he
does not seek pastoral settlement at
present, but prefers that larger liberty
which is found in lecturing and the absence
of the domination of deacons, boards
of trustees, and the incubus of church
debts.

HOW HE MISSED 1T.

In the San Francisco Wasp the reason
''Why Roman was Not Elected" wer
given as follows:
Coriolanus noble Roman,
Wouldn't give the voters taffy;
Wouldn't tell EN- they were brilliant,
Wouldn't tell em they were valiant;
Wouldn't kiss the Roman babies,
Said he'd see their dads in Hades
Ere he'd buss the dirty youngsters
OF horde of cling bungsters:
Said office he would fawn for;
No, his toga he'd first pawn for
What he needed: no, he wouldn't
Give EN- taffy; no, he shouldn't
Thus it was the noble Roman,
Fearless, peerless Coriolanus,
just as might have been expected.
Never came to be elected.

statement: yesterday afternoon
Charles Broomall, officer Marques and
myself were standing atFrOnt and Ship
ley streets when Cassidy passed US and
walked up Shipley street to Mr.. Con
nel 8 store. He came ont directly after
wards, when Mr.. BroOmall remarked
that Ned had stolen the overcoat ht
carried on his arm. Officer Marques
went to COnner's store, and finding no
one in charge, started out in q hurry,
when ran ont Front street and over.
took Ned and marched him back ia
COnner's. Officer Marques forgot to
report Ned's escape from Squire
O'Neill's Office. While was engaged
in fastening the front door, with my
back to the prisoner, he passed officer
Marquess and made his escape through
the back door.
81 soon discovered Ned's absence, and
thinking of his ::court- house escape,
made break for the back door, and
through difficult back yards and over Il
fence about eight feet high, raced him
through a house three doors above, and
re- captured Ned near Fifth and. ..Tatnall
streets, and brought him back TO Es-
luire O'Neill's office. All this was
done while officer Marques was net in
sight"
Officer Osborne said he would have
said nothing about it, nor would he have
thought of claiming any credit for as
sisting in the arrest had not an attempt
been made to give all the credit to officer
Marques.
