the third-party movement; but the number
has been constantly growing smaller, and is
rapidly becoming beautifully less as the evil
dence of treachery and perjury on the part of
some of the managers becomes stronger
and more conclusive to them. This
"sell-out" of the Monitor Journals sub
scription list to the Democratic
candidates is the last needed fact to demon
strate the truth of the charge. A specimen
of scores of letters that reached the Journal

MR.. HEwIrT,s TARIFF BILL.
The Measure Witch Ho Proposes TO OGei
To-day Informally Discussed by Mem.

The Measure Which Ho Proposes TO Offer
To-day Informally Discussed by Mem
bcrs OF the Ways and Means Committee.
Five of the democratic members of tho
ways and means committee, Messrs. Morri-
son, Blackburn, Blount. Herbert, and How.
lit, met at the house of the last-namod
gentl eman Saturday night, upon his invita-
tion, to consider tho tariff bill which he
intends to introduce in the house to-day.
What this bill will propose has already been
stated. Its principal feature will be series
of provisions, based upon recommendations
of the secretary of the treasury, and upon de.
cisions rendered by the treasury dqmertment
with respect to the construction of thb present
tariH law which are designed to remove diff
culties that now occur in the administration
of the law. hr. Hewitt is chairman of sub
committee of the ways and means committee,
to which this matter was referred carly in the
session, and he has been at work upon it
since. He has, however, added to these pro-
visions others which propose reduction of
the present tariff rates on some articles and the
abolition of tho tax on Others, that will,
in his opinion, reduce the revenue from
custom duties about S60,000,000 per year
In this lattor portion of his bill IL is under
stood that Mr.. Hewitt provides for the en-
largemont of the present free list to the OK
tent Of putting on that list oil the articles emu
merated in the free list of the Morrison
tdIlu DlllI as III WIS ICpOIlou W tuo HOubc,
and few others and that be also adopts
the limitation clause of the Morrison bill,
with respect to the extent to which duties
shall be collected on the articles enumerated
in the cotton, wool, and metal schedules Of
the present tariff law.
Tho object of tho meeting at Mr.. Hewitts
house was to secure the opinions of members
Of the democratic majority Of the ways and
means committee respecting the introduction
Of the proposed bill at this time. The matter
was informally discussed, but nothing was
determined as.to the consideration of the bill
by the committee. Mr.. Hewitt will, however,
introduce it in the house to-day.
Chairman Morrison, of the aysand means
committee, said last night when asked about
this matter that tho committee had never
considered anything beyond the Morrison
bill, and that since the defeat Of the measure
they had not had a meeting. He did not
know how the committee or the majority in
the house would treat the proposed Hewitt
bill, but the committee could have no objec-
tion to the introduction Of q measure of Mr..
Hewitt, and its dreference to them.

OVER THE WATERS BLUE.
Bright Sunshine and Cool Breezes Tempt
Many to Ride the River.
Members OF the metropolitan Club Enjoy
"PIank shad" Dinner.

Old Dame Nature extended q smiling invi-
tation to humanity yesterday to take n ride
down the Potomac and enjoy the perfumed
breath of spring and the beautiful shore seen
cry. Fleecy cumulus clouds lay idly about
the horizon during the day, or drifted lazily
across the sky, propelled by pleasant southorly
breezes Many people took advantage
of the occasion to enjoy recreation
on one day from week of bustle
and toll. The only steamers that
left their wharves for public convenience
were tho ferry boats, and they carried hun
dreds of oxcursionisti each trip. Many people
skinned about in small sail boats or padded
up and down in row boats. Among tho
parties on the ferry steamers werc many
entire families, from the tiny infant to the
gray haired grandfather and grandmother,
all bent on health aud pleasure.
The steamer Corcoran started for Fort
Washington at IL o'clock in the forenoon
with about fifty members of the Metropoli-
tan club on board. Upon the arrival of the
party at the old fort, where the Fish COM
mission has shad catching station, they
were treated to n genuine, old-fashiOned,
Chesapeake bay plank shad. Several dozens
of fine shad were nailed to o long oak plank
and baked before n trench fire by an oNpo-
rionced plank shadder" f" who lives near
the tort Tho club men took lots
of delicaces with them, and
when they started on the return trip in the
dusk Of tho evening, it was generally
acknowledged that they had enjoyed high
old time"
The steamer Excelsior carried quite a
number of merchants and department clerks,
with their families, to Norfolk OH Saturday
evening.
The Sue left her wharf at 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon for Baltimore. She carried n
few people who desired to enjoy sail up the
Chesapeake and the accompany ing salt water

SWIFT BUT INACCURATE.
The washingtons own too wild Pitcher
10 win Their Games.

The gamo between tho Washngtons and
Metropolitans on Saturday was slow, stupid,
and tiresomo to look at. Tho home club put
in Trumbull TO pitch, and q now player
named Gard ner ossayed the difficult task of
handling his wild, swift delivery. These two
between them gave the Nets. the game with
out half trying. Gardner stood up to his
work pluckily but the best catchors in tho
base ball fraternity could not avoid errors with
such pitching as he had to face Trumbull has
great speed, plenty of curve, and no command
of the ball. Mono of the Nets. except Brady
hit his pitching, but thoy did not need 90.
If one of them got to first he had soft thing
on getting home on wild pitching and passed
balls. If Trumbull could only acquire
accuracy in delivery and retain his pace and
curve he would undoubtedly bo n great
pitcher; as it is, his striking out few men,
Is no compensation for games lost through
his erratic pitching. The game was called by
consent at tho end of tho end of the seventh
inning. because the audience and players
alike were disguised, and wanted to get home
and hide. The same clubs play again to-day,
The scoro was as follows:
