Com. KittSOn'S FLYERS.
FANNY wITHERsPooN AND GEM AT KALAMA-
ZOO - PAN1QUE TO THE FRONT AT MON
MOUTH PARK.
Com. n. W. Kittson's big daughter of
Almont, Fanny Witherspoon, out of Lizzie
Witherspoon. record PISA, made her Sec
ond appearance in public race this sea-
son at Kalamazoo, Mich, Wednesday The
programme had been arranged for Wither-
spoon to trot against st. Julien, record
2:114, but the great son of Volunteer not
being in condition, the bay stallion
Santa Claus, record 2:17I, son of
Strathmore, was substituted. The fact that
Witherspoon won in three stalght heats,
in 2:21I, 2:19I and 2:19 over a heavy
track, and evidently not crowded, would
indicate that the reports appearing i'll
eastern sporting papers of late as to the
condition of the mare, her steadiness un-
der the tuition of John Splan, and her
great speed, were we'll founded. But
as her real capabilities will be
proved by her performance to morrow at
Chicago. it is useless to indulge in specu-
lation. She is entered for the first race of
the Chicago trotting meeting-the great
est ever given in this country-to be trotted
tomorrow afternoon, in the 2:19 class, in
which there are eleven entries, including
DR.. Norman, Romero, Tariff, Adele Gould
and Monroe Chief. If the track is good,
the winner will have to beat 2:16, and if
the winner is not Fanny Wither-
spoon she will not meet the expectation
by the reports of her condition and private
performances. AS will be seen elsewhere,
Com. Kittsoa's pacing mare Gem did well
yesterday in finishing second to Flora
Belle, beating Lucy and Buffalo Girl. The
commodore's racing colors were also hand
somely carried to the front yesterday at
Monmouth in the sweepstakes for two-year
Odds, three-quarters of mile, by the flly
Panique, by Alarm, she winning in lis
good time.

NO. 1874.

Forks, of Grand Forks, D. T., in which the
home nine won an easy victory by score
of twenty to ten. The second public game
of the club was at Minneapolis Tuesday
last against the Brown Stockings, the
crack club of that city, over whom the Reds
gained more brilliant victory than that
from the Grand Forks, winn1ng in a much
sharper game by a score of eleven to four.
It is understood that the Brown Stockings
have, since their defeat Tuesday, made two
or three changes in their nine, adding ma
terially to their playing strength, and
that, if possible, they propose to even up
matters by defeating the Reds in the first
match with them on their home grounds.
Of course the Reds don't propose to allow
this to be done, but the very best clubs
have to submit to defeat at times, and it
may be the turn of the Reds Saturday.
But it will take extra strong and sharp
play to do it, and which ever way the game
may result, visitors will have the satisfac-
ton of seeing fine and strong exhibition
of ball playing.

and that there shall be just MS little of
political machine as possible. The
more permanent tie bulk of the SER
vice is made the more effective it will
be; the less scramble there will be
after place; the fewer Garfield assas-
sinations will occur; the more honest
congressman can remain because their
greatest temptation to rascali,y will be
removed, and the more the president
may be the president OF the people
rather than of his party.
1t goes without saying that this arti-
Gle is not written to have any influence
upon the adoption OF the Pendleton bill.
That is a law. 1t is written for the
purpose of encouraging earnest civil
service reformers in their cause. and 10
urge them to renew their exertions.
We hope to see the subject agltated,
and congressman kept in hand gallop
to keep up with public opinion. until
the "patronage" OF the president will
be so curtailed that he will cease to be
more powerful than is any European
monarch; until all positions in depart
ments shall be awarded strictly for
merit and compel ency and not at all for
party service until the same thing shall
be true OF our customs AMI excise SER
vices, and until the postmasters and
postal clerks throughout the country
shall be selected in some way that shall
be Independent OF national or state poll
tics. Then, and not until then, political
parties will exist upon principles or
policies of government. AS it is, they
must aud de largely exist for and by
the public plunder ;emptingly held out
at every general election. The only
wonder is, that with such u scramble
every four years, in which over q mil
lion OF the population is directly pecu-
nlarily interested, the whole fabric does
not crumble into dust.
There is much hard work-to be done
in the direction of eliminating the teder-
al Offices from partisanpolitics. The fight
Is but just begun. What has been done
is we'll, but those who love their coun-
try better than Office will do we'll TO see
that the movement continues to be in ad-
vance and not retrograde one.

1n answer to speech in support OF
the tariff commissioners report and tho
senate finance committees amendments
thereto, made Wednesday by Senator
Morrill,, of Vermont, Mr.. Beck. of Ken
lucky attacked the report of the tariff
Commission, saying, while plausibly
processing to reduce duties, it really
increased them upon many important
articles. The commission had simply
let meu who were to make money out
OF the business fix up the schedules for
themselves, and had handed that in as
their ewn work, whom in fact, in his
Judgment, they had done no intelligent
work at all. 1t would, therefore, be
the duty of the senators who really
desired reduction of the existing du-
ties to examine this bill very carefully
10 see that it did not really increase
them by means of cunning changes OF
the schedule, transpositions and provis-
Ions devised by men who would profit
by the increase, and who, perhaps, in
m"ny instances, deceived even the
members of the commission themselves.
Mr.. Beck illustrated this view by read
Ing the provisions in relation to Bes
semer steel, steel ingots, blooms, etc.
Articles of this kind weighing over
800 pounds are to come in on the pay.
ment OF duty OF six-tenths of 1 per
cent, while by certain other provisions
taken together the same articles, whe n
they weigh over 500 pounds, are re-
qulred to pay 2 cents per pound, or
$50 per ton. The senator from Yer
mout (Morri'D had congratulated the
country upon the fact that the average
duty on dutiable articles imported was
only about AZ per cent. and this was
claimed to be barely adequate to the
pro ection OF American labor. kut
the figures furnished by the tariff com
m:ssioners themselves showed that in a
larger number OF American industries
he wages paid amounted to only II
G-1O per cent.of the value of goods pro.
duced, and that the profit OF manufactu.
rers upon capital invested, alter paw
ing the cost of material and wages, was
50 1-2 per cent. 1t would seem, there
lore, il these gentlemen were given the
average protectlon-17 10 per cent
instead OF 42-they would get back in
that way all wages they had to pay,

cerned. 1t would he on as good foot.
