A Butler Anecdote.

There is a tale about General But
Ter in New Orleans which has never

this, that, and the other, and the peo-

was certain to be enforced. A mar

What it Costs to Run a Base Ball
Club.

Base ball clubs are run for the pur-
pose of making money. The Cinein-
Dati American club is no exception
to this rule. In fact, one of the prin-
cipal stockholders has said on more
than one occasion this season: ''Pm
poor loser, and as soon as the club
does not make money for me / quit
right there and then" The probabili-
ties are that the stockholders of the
club will not divide among themselves
any very fat dividends this season.
The secretary of the club has made
the statement through the organ of
the American club that a team that
cost S25 900 could not be made to
pay. The expense that the club is
under this yesr for players crowds the
sum very close, as $4,000 is about
the size of the pile that the men now
under contract, with what has been
paid to men who have been released,
and the money paid the Washington
club for, Fennelly's release, amounts to.
The Cincinnati's reserve team cost the
management some 50 900 more,
bringing the figures up TO the limit.
s25, 900, at which dividends stop.
Advertising bills have been heavy this
year; the numerous employees cost
money, and s17, 600, it has been
stated, has been spent on the grounds;
besides this, the secretary's
salary must be added, the
rental for the addition made
to the right field, the money paid for
music on various occasions, and
numerous other incidental expenses
which aggregate quite sum. Placing
the average attendance at the fifty
FIVE games played GA the home
grounds at 1000, which is liberal
estimate, and the club makes no
money, the receipts for the season
reaching, at 379 cents.for each person
purchasing a ticket, s4l, $50; or a less
sum than the expenses. Taking |
these facts into consideration, it is but |
natural that every effort would be
made to increase the receipts. The

Virginia In Line.

Virginia will tomorrow cast her vote
for Blaine and Logan. Her people have
already tasted the fruits of protection to
home industries. Her manufacturing in
terests are in thrifty condition, her
proximity to a home market has been
established, her mineral and agricultural
resources arc being rapidly developed.
The light of future greatness begins to
shine upon her waste places. Her young
men no longer seek homes in the far
west. Labor is no longer degraded
through contact with slavery.
Her extensive water-power facilities,
her valuable timber, her fertile soil, her
rich mines and healthful climate invite
the Investment of capital and the employ
ment of labor. Virginia, in the column of
republican states, pledged to the principle
of protective tariff, is an empire within
herself
Social ostracism will no longer find
favor among an enlightened and culti-
waited people. A new ora dawns upon
her New life is being infused into her
being. A reign Of prosperity is being
established. Her young mon rejoice and
her maidens sing songs. Her gray-haired
sires look on in wonder as old Virginia
vsnishos and new Virginia in golden gar
monts appears.

been customary for them to lie down and
let bourbon best citizens" jump on them

an ancient and time-honorod custom the
"best citizens of Iberia parish, Louisiana,
undertook to break upa republican meet
ing Saturday night and run those in at

astonishment and righteous indignation
the republicans objected to being run off,
and made stand. The "best citizens"

Tomorrow will end the presidential
campaign. All parties have presented
their plans to the people, and nothing
now remains to do but to await their ver-
dict.
As to what that verdict will be we en-
tertain no doubts. Practically, this cam
paign turns, as did that of 1880, upon the
decision of Now York, Indiana, and Con-
necticut. So long as there is solid south
this will be the case. And though in
those states tho campaign has been close,
bitter, and fought out with every re-
source of oratory, brains, and keen po-
litical strategy on both sides, the sdvan-
tage is now plainly with the republicans.
We regard it as absolutely certain that
the electoral vote Of each of tho three
states will be assigned to Mr.. Blaine by q
majority of their voters to- morrow; and
this belief comprehends the whole, for it
is tantamount to saying that his election
is assured, without speculating as to the
possibilities in other states.

type, aud in the title role Miss Rose Keen has
won the strongest commendation for her
artistic personaton of the happy, loving girl,
the despairing wife and mother, and the sue

marvellous acting of little Olive Berkly In the
part of Little Queena, which Is perfect pic

The support is strong and the mounting OF
the play perfect in every detail. Particular
attention has been paid to the stage settings
and the sets for Queena's lodgings, the Ameri

pronounced eXquisitely realistic.

WILLIAM II. VASDERBILT's remark
able generosity will not take the form of
presents of Christmas turkeys and loads
of coal to the underpaid employees on his
railroads. Not much. lie would much
rather give $250,O0O for free trade and
low wages than $3.50 for any charitable
object. When he succeeds in pauperizing
American labor hs can get engineers for
$l.20 day and train and track men for
90 cents a day, and that will enable him
TO put back the dividends on his railroad
securities to their old figure. That is why
he wants tree trade and Cleveland. For
similar reasons the workingmen do not
want Cleveland.
