The Domestic club, Of Newark, played
their first game In this city with the
lronsidcs ON Saturday. Tho day was
pleasant aud the audience on the ground
numbered between 600 aud 700. The
result Of the game vas surprise to
almost everybody. 1t is certain that
the lronsides have been playing very
good ball, but II was not supposed
that they would so easily defeat q club
which ia now tied with the Treutons for
third place in the Eastern league. The
Ironsides had strong nine ON and the
visitors had their best Fletcher, their
pitcher was a new man, having como from
Brooklyn on Saturday afternoon. Pyle
pitched remarkably fine game
!oI the homo team, and 1t was with
great difficulty that tho Sewing machine"
boys could touch him. Their hits were
scattered and therefore not very beneficial,
The seventh inning was the only one In
which they gained anything from batting.
They then secured two runs on the work
of Gaunt, Coogan aud Wiegaud. Their
other run was made on an etror In the
third inning. Oddeld caught a fine game
behind the bat. Donald did admirably at
short, and his double play in the first
inning was one of the features OF the game
He stopped n very hot ball with one hand
after run, and then threw the second
man out at second. The game was close
until the nth inning, when the Iron
| sides begau their work of pounding
Every mau got smack at tho ball
which was knocked 10 every direction al

the ninth inning until two more runs were

The visitors played an excellent fielding
game, and it was well that they did

outtielders, the ball being taken ouly atteI
long runs, The score follows

IT is not likely, as reported from
Washington, that Messrs. Morrison,
Hurd, Dorsheimer aud other tariff
reform Democrats will support Mr.. Nc
Kinley, TO whose seat the elections com
mitle has reported that Wallace is fairly
elected, because wallace has declared
publicly that he is better protective
tariff man than Mckinley and "the
tariff reform men have said that between
high tariff Republican and high tariff
Democrat they will give their respect, II
not their voice, to the Republican every
time" The views of Mr.. Wallace and
of Mr.. Mckinley on the tariff, or any
other question, should have nothing
whatever TO do with the determination
OF their contest for seat. IL should be
settled Oh It's merits solely. II Wallace
was fairly elected, he should be given his
seat by the vote Of every Democrat,
and il he WAS not he should not get q
single one, The report Of the commit
tee In his favor is n good reason why the
Democrats Of the country will believe
he was fairly elected, and Democrats
who do not vote to sustain this report
will have 10 make better explanations
than that Dorsheimer's nose is out Of
Joint or MorrisOn's plan OF reforming the
tarifi is not popular in Ohio.

ARE we never to be at peace with our
English brethren ? Mr.. Blaine's fierce
criticism OF Great Britain's treatment OF
the United States during the war did not
excite any great international feeling
because 1t was pretty well understood
that Blaine's book was a meretricious
affair, "writ for the royalty" But now
George Washington Smalley and George
Augustus Sala have broken out into
newspaper disputation over the proper
use of the words /" frock and gown"
and these delightful dudes may yet en-
broil their fellow countrymen in bloody

Miss Narci ssa u. whito In the Court House.
Sunday afternoon Miss Narcissa Z.
White, an eloquent advocate of prohbi
tion. lectured in the court house before an
audience of several hundred, majority OF
those present being ladies.
Rev. J. b. Shumaker, d. d., Of St.
PauPs Reformed church, occupied the
chair and called the meeting to order.

audience, and Rev. DR.. Shumaker then
introduced Miss White, taking occasion
to saw, before doing 50 that this being the

plause, but the friends of the cause might
give vent to their enthusiasm by droppiug
an extra quarter in the basket when the

Miss White then took the stand and for
| about three quarters of an hour poured

Alcohol. She told the Bible story OF De.
borah arousing the Jews against the
iniquitous king she quoted largely from
the writings of leaders of the liquor league
to show how closely they were banded
together to further the interests of the
| liquor trade ; and then she appealed to
mothers, daughters and sisters to en-
ulate Deborah by organizing against
the league, which has organized to de-
bauch their husbands, sons ard brothers,
aud make desolate their homes. Miss
White is O graceful and fluent speaker
with a mind we'll stored with facts tC
further the cause, in which she takes sc
earnest an interest.
| At the close of her lecture, collection
was lifted, during which the choir sang
another anthem. The long metre doxology

Hewitt and oliver

Mr.. Abraham 8. Hewitt and Mr..
Henry w. Oliver. r., are at issue. Mr..
Oliver having expressed his opinion that
Mr.. Hewitt's tariff bill proposes TO take
very good care Of the firm Of Cooper,
Hewitt & Co., Mr.. Hewitt responds that
Mr.. divers tariff bill was adapted to
work very we'll for the interest Of the
frm of Oliver Brothers and Phillips.
The deduction which the public will
naturally make from the expression Of
these opinions Is that Mr.. Hewitt's and
Mr.. divers tariff opinions are delcately
adjusted to Mr.. Hewitt's and Mr.. Oil.
ver's respective interests, or their con-
ception of them; and that this is the
case with most mems tariff opinions.
This public Judgment may be verg nearly
right, though it hardly does justice to
Mr. Hewitt, inasmuch as that states
man has shown notable inclination In
some matters at least to be ruled in his
pu,aio action by his conception Of the
public interest as distinct from his
own. He Is, for instance, large
owner OF iron ore mines, and yet is in
favor az making foreign iron ore free
from tariff impcst. Mr. Hewitt has
seemed to he more disinterested in his
opinions upon the Ia riff than most men
though IL is possible that Mr.. divers
specific accusation against him OF
interested motives IN some of the duties
proposed by him may have some founda
t;0o II io ntnr;o,,oiy Jie}nnit for N, ar
to free themselves from the bias of self
interest, and on this tariff matter very
few even pretend to do 1t.
The truth is that the question of tariff
rates is one OF self interest entirely, aDt
that It's true solution is to be sough
only ia Guiding the interest of the peopl,
ot this country or the majority of them
1t is not to be denied that the interest o
the people Of the whole world demands
free trade; but nobody claims that th,
legislator OF this country is called upol
to regard any other interests bu
those of the people of thii
country. Some of these believe tina
their interests demand free trade
and others consider that their Interest,"
will be subserved by high tariff, ant
they favor either policy Just as thei
pockets inspire them.
The special interests of both MI
Oliver and Mr.. Hewitt demand an im
post on some articles Of foreign manu-
facture, and as they make differen
things they propose differing tariffs. n
doubt they consider that the interests 9
the country are their interests and q
one of them must be mistaken, probabi
both are to some extentwTong. The sam
conclusion follows as to all other view
as to what the tariff should be; ard th
deduction is that the nearest approac
to the truth is to be had in belief tina
an average Of ali the views will strlk
the average interest of the people of th
country; that is, what it is the legislator
proper aim TO reach. The question {
free trade or protection is one to b
decided, not upon its merit In an Arci
dian state, nor as bare scientific prof.
osition, but upon the selfish interest {
the country, as found in that of a majo
ity OF its people, in the existing cOnditIo
of its industries.
