ADMIRERS of the National game and lovers
of fair play will be surprised and disguised to
learn that the Detroit club has, probably, been
frozen out of the league by means of the
amendment TO the rule governing the distri-
button OF the receipts, SO that the home club
takes all the gate money and allows the visit
ing club but 1925 10 cover travelling expenses
etc. OF course, Detroit and Kansas City,
being much smaller than any of the other
league cities, cannot maintain club under
this rule. This action seems to have been
prompted by jealousy on the part of the
weaker eastern clubs and desire to secure
to themselves some of the splendid aggrega-
ton of players that the Detroit management
had secured. While it is true that Detroit
cannot furnish as large audiences as New
York, Chicago, Philadelphia, ETC., it must be
remembered that it was when Detroit or
Chicago played in an eastern league city, that
crowds came out TO witness the game. De
troit certainly made money for itself, its
share of the proceeds of such games, but it
also made still more mouey for the home
club that under the old rule, had the largest
percentage of the receipts, but not all. as
under the new rule. 4 good many ball
players entertain the opinion that the Detroit
club was the equal of any club that was ever
organized, and that 1t stood an even chance,
at least, to win the pennant next season. 1t
was the extreme improbability of beating
both Detroit and Chicago without capturing
some of Detroit's crack players, that induced
the eastern clubs to pursue this eminently
unfair and unjust course. 1t would not be
at oil surprising if this action should prove
TO be the first step towards the final dissolu-
ton of the National leaoue

Mr. George and the Presidency,

There is trouble ahead for the New York
democracy two years hence, or else the signs
of the times are very misleading. The total
vote in New York city three weeks ago was
not much smaller than that cast ut the last
presidential election but the republican can.
didate received 10000 votes less than Mr..
Blaine, and the democratic candidate $4,000
less than Mr.. Cleveland, and the laboring
mems candidate received nearly the total sum
of these two amounts, which show very
plainly the proportions of the vote drawn
from each of the two old parties.
IL the Henry George movement has come
TO stay, and every indication points to that
conclusion, it will be seen at once that, if
the party lines are drawn in 1888 as in 1886,
1t means disaster for the democracy. For
while the republicans can easily afford the
loss of 10000 votes in New York city, the
detection of $4,000 voters from the demo
cratic majority in that city means the loss of
the state to the democracy. The democratic
party depends upon an overwhelming major
ity in the city to overcome the republican
majority in the state at large, aud if two
thirds of that majority is cut of. there would
seem TO be an end of democratic hopes in
New York. The Henry George vote repre-
sents the usual democratic majority south of
the HIrlem river, and if cast for George, or
some other member of his party, it will do
the republicans no harm, but it will cripple
their opponents effectually. 0lamdzoo

Death of ex-President Arthur.

CHESTER A. ARTHUR, ex-president of the
city of New York, on Thursday morning,
the 18th instant, at five o'clock. While Mr..
ARTHUR hos been i'll for a long time, and his
complete restoration to health was not hoped
for, his death, which was the result of an
apoplectic stroke was quite sudden and unex-
pected.
Mr.. ARTHUR was one of the SOC who made
such gallant fight for the nomination of
General GRANT at the Chicago convention of
1880, and was, by that convention, nominated
for the vioe-presidcncy on the ticket with
the lamented GARFIELD. He was regarded, at
the time of his nomination, as being more Of
politician than statesman; but subsequent
events showed him to be entitled TO rank
with the great statesmen of his country.
During the long and weary weeks that
President GARFIELD fingered between life
and death, Mr.. ARTHUR's bearing, under the
trying circumstances in which he was placed,
was decorous and dignifed, and when, by
the death of his superior officer, he became
president, even his best friends and warmest
admirers feared he would make failure. No
man ever assumed the duties of chief magis-
trate of the Nation under such peculiar
and trying circumstances. But Mr.. ARTHUR
showed himself TO be man of great execu-
tive ability, above all petty questions of a
partisan nature or personal character, and
gave the people one of the ablest cleanest
and most popular administrations the coun-
try ever had, and won the proud distinction
of being the only vice-president called upon
to perform the duties of president, who made
a success of his administration.
When Mr.. ARTHUR surrendered his office
to GROVER CLEVELAND, his successor, he
stood higher in the estimation of his coun-
trymen, without regard to their political
associations or partisan bias, than he ever
did before. He was prominent candidate
before the convention that nominated Mr..
BLAINE, and the opinion is quite prevalent,
and probably correct, that, had the ticket
been ARTHUR and LOGAN, instead of BLAINE
and LOGAN, it would have been elected.
BY his death, America has lost one of her
ablest men and noblest citizens, one who will
DO sincerely mourned by all his oountrymen,
by his political opponents as we'll as his polit-
ical friends. As gentleman, q citizen and O
statesman, he has few, very few, equals. A
good man has gone to his reward.

About that Banner.

Van Buren, is the banner republican
county in Michigan. At the recent election
every township gave a republican majority.
Gov. Luce's plurality is given at 1900. Six
townships each give over 100 majority for
the g. o. p.-Dordgidc Republican.
We respectfully challenge that statement.
The total vote of Van Buren, on Luce and
Yaple was 6.6T5. Mr.. Luce's plurality was
1921. The vote of Grand Traverse county
for Luce and Yaple was 1852, and Mr.. Luce 3
plurality was 704. and. as in Van Buren,,
every township gave majority for the re-
publican party. In Van Buren, the per cent.

IT is said that an anarchist plot to burn
and destroy the city of Chicago has been
unearthed. The people of that town do not
seem to be much frightened about it. There
is no need of panic, but it is well to keep n
sharp look out. The history of socialism,
communism and anarchism in other coun-
tries shows that the believers III such doc
trines have no scruples against the commits

horrible. Wholesale murder and rapine is
their delight and if they are allowed to con-
coct and carry out their internal plottings
without hindrance, Chicago, New York and
other large cities may witness scenes similar
to those that have been witnessed i'll the
French capital. Of course, there could be
but one outcome to such conflict, and that
would be the utter destruction of anarchism
and its advocates, but it might cause the
destruction of 81 immense amount of prop
erty and the loss of many valuable lives. In
this case, an ounce of prevention will be
found more valuable than pound of cure.

Legitimate, We. Pernicious Political
Activity.

ACLlNlCy.
One NJ. +. BENTON had the distinguished
honor of holding the Office of attorney of the
United States for the western district of
Missouri, and, like all other good democrats,
he supposed it was his bounden duty to use
his talents TO advance the political prosperi-
ty of his party, and 80, during the last cam
paign, he had himself billed in various
localities in Missouri and Kansas, as demo-
cratic stump speaker and proceeded, as a
good partisan naturally would, TO put in his
best ticks for the democratic party.
lie understood, of course, that one S.
GRovER CLEVELAND of Washington, ID. c.,
had written kind of goody goody letter,
warning al good democratic office-holdors
against "pernicious political activity" but,
at the same time, commencing Legitimate
political activity" Mr.. BENTON had, evident
ly, reflected upon this letter of GRoyEB's very
seriously and had come TO the deliberate
conclusion that making democratic stump
speeches during the campaign was about as
Legitimate" piece of political activity as
could engage the earnest attention Of good
democratic partisan and having so concluded,
entered into the work most heartily.
Imagine, if possible, what must have been
Mr. BENToN's disgust and chagrin when, just
as he had finished his political labors and
had resumed his official duties, to receive an
~
relieving him from the further performance
of such duties, on the ground that he mad
been "perniciously active" in political mat
ters. He felt. he knew there was something
wrong. that he had been maligned, misrepre-
scented, or something of that kind, and pro-
ceeded at once TO indite a letter 10 Mr..
CLEyELAND's attorney general, the man who
so beautifully GARLAEDs that elegant piece
of furniture known as the presidents cabi-
net In that letter. which bears date
Novemb Der 10th, he sets forth his grievances
at length. He admits that he was engaged
quite extensively. during the campaign, in
making stump speeches, but says he made
such speeches in behalf and at the request
OF democratic candidates for congress, of the
request of the chairman of the democratic
state central committee, and with the full
knowledge of Senators VEST and CccERELL.
This, Mr.. BENTON seems to think, should
have been considered an ample justification
of his course, and Mr.. CLEVELAND seems to
have been convinced that he was right for,
as soon as Mr.. BENToNs letter was brought
to his attention, he FASTENED to reinstate him.
In his reply the president makes use of the fol-
lowing significant language: Ibid not intend
to condemn the making of political speeches
by federal official, to his neighbors and
friends, nor at any time and place where it
was merely incidental, if the speech itself
was decent and fair and he says further,
"The number of speeches that can be prop
erly made cannot be specified, nor the time
when, place where or circumstances in which
they are proper, nor can their character be
prescribed"
This explanation of the presidents means,
if il means anything, that he intends, in the

still higher. Their actual gain was about
5000 votes in the state, although Mr.. DroKm,
their candidate for governor, had the hardi-
hood, long after the result was known with
substantial correctness, TO stand upon plat
form in his native village and claim that his
party had doubled its vote since the election
of 1884. He doesn't stick any closer to
truth since election than he did before. The
figures are as follows: Preston in 1884 22,207
votes, Dickie in 1856 25,333 votes gain
3,126. The Ceatcr-Detroit prohibition
organ-says, I've are very well satisfied with
our 5000 gain" The Center is easily salts
fed. If in a well organized and hardly
fought campaign, with no presidential issue
to divert its voters, the prohibition party can
make gain of only 5000 votes. while the
republican plurality is more than doubled,
it il quite likely that the day when the third
party men will capture Michigan, or even
defeat the republican party, as they boosted
they would do, is long wsy in the dim and
distant future. The NoRTHERNER predicts that
the prohibition party has already polled the
largest vote it will ever have in Michigan.

SON. He rendered valuable services III that
position and was largely instrumental in
preventing a recognition of the confederacy

United States member of the celebrated
Geneva arbitration. Mr. ADAMS was one of
the most accomplished diplomats in the
country. He was formerly strong republi-
eau and was an ardent supporter of Pres-
dent LINCOLN, but went with GREELEY into
