Mr.. BAYARD has clearly set forth the
true character of the jug-handle arrange
ment between China and the United
States. He shows that the people of the
former have unrestricted privileges in this
country, while our citizens enjoy no rights
and few privileges in China, and are re-
strieted to a very limited area for resi-
dence and commerce. Let it be hoped
that the Eastern radical sentimentalists,
who have prated so loudly of our recipro-
cal relations with China, will now shut up
and remain so.

ing to law, Mr.. Reinhart is an honest man.
According to long usage, his act was
strictly upright and defensible-in law. 1t
is fortified by precedent and the fact that
equally as INSCRIPTIONS persons over the
water treat our authors in like manner.
But in the eyes Of men who do not look
into the statute book for codes of morals :
who do not measure guilt by the absence
of lawful condemnation who believe that
the laborer is worthy of his hire; who
hold that if the foreigner who invents an
improvement to fine-toothed comb is en-
titled to protection in the United States
under the patent laws, SO also is the alien
who invents book, or evolves a new idea,
or coins his brain into new thought-all
such men must hold that Mr. Reinharfs
act was one of moral thievery. The whole
international copyright question is summed
up in the statement We have thus made, and
the comments we have injected into it. It
is very simple matter-only PROPOSE

as with those of our own household.

THE RAILROAD WAR.
No Change in Fares-Light Passenger
| Traf1c-Freight Rates.

Trafhc-Freight Rates.
lSan Francisco Bulletin, March 5th.l
The railroad war was resumed to-day
with light business as far as passenger
traffic was concerned. Passenger fares re-
manned, up to the hour of going to press,
the same as yesterday, there being no cut
by either of the contending lines which
have identical rates. The same equality
also exists in the matter of freight rates,
both east-bound and west bound, the cuts
Of the Southern Pacific Company having
been fully met. A large amount of freight
has been shipped by both centending lines
during the war, and to-day the Atlantic
and Pacific road ran out of freight cars; but
they have mile and half of empty cars
on the way West to arrive here Monday or
Tuesday. The steamer City of Topeka, be-
longing to the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railroad. which has been ordered up
from Guaymas, will, if necessary, run
between this city and San Diego. 1t was
stated to-day that another steamer had
been chartered by the same line.
The dissolution of the Iowa pool, which
was composed of all the trunk lines be-
tween the Missouri river and Chicago, was
due to the withdrawal of the Chicago, Mil
wauKee and st. Paul Railroad, on account
of a difficulty regarding the award of bust
ness, etc. This action of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul road precipitated a
mild war, in which the Iowa lines took
part. and created situation of affairs there
which resulted favorably to overland pas
sengers when the war on the transconti-
mental lines broke out. II seems that the
breach between the Chicago Milwaukee
and st. Paul and the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific roads, the action of which latter
road was apparently the prime cause of the
Withdrawal of the former from the pool,
has not only not been healed, but is liable
to become wider. At the time the original
difficulty arose, promises were made, it is
said, from time 10 time, notably by the c.
r. l. and P. r. R., to concede priority and
percentage advantages in favor of the old
line-the G.. w. and St. P but as regu-
larry disregarded, until the c. W. ard st.
p. withdrew entirely from so one-sided an
agreement, especially upon finding its
chief aggressor cutting under agreed tariff
rates.

MCCONNELL TELLS OF MCCORMICkS' TALENTS
AS BASE-BALLIST
William A. McC Conne!l says he is glad to see
that we appreciate Mr.. McCormick's talents as
Il baseball player. Two years ago Mccormick
sought employment in the Brooklyn Theatre.
of which house Mcconnell was the manager,
and Mcdonnell very willingly found something
for him to do. One day Mccormick come to
the bON-oftice and said: 'McConnell, | am
feeling weak and nervous. My muscles are
getting tlabby-l need exercise. Would you
mind coming back on the stage for half an hour
and holding the ball for me!'
Mccormick looked so sad and worn that Nc
Connell thought it a duty to accommodate him.
The two went back. on the stage, shifted the
scenery, and took their positions about sixty
feet apart.
''Are your hands in good condition:' asked
Mccormick.
''No, not the best" said Mcconnell.
''Well, then, I'll toss it kind o Slow" said
Mccormick.
Mr.. Mcconnell let the first ball go by him.
1t passed through two deal doors, knocked an
iron rung out Il tre-escape and buried itself
half foot in a cement wall in the alley. One
of the stage carpenters took a croWbar and
went out into the alley and eXtrcated the ball
Il don't believe | care about any more eXer
else this morning. said Mcconnell to MeCor-
mlck. II tnlnk "a Deltef walt tlll some day
when you're sick abed.'
A week or two after this experience the Park
Theatre challenged the Brooklyn Theatre to a
match game of base ball. Mcconnell was Just
about the happiest man in seven States. He
painted and disguised cCormick so that nobody
would recognize him and he hired Il big, double
listed Bowery butcher to stand up behind the
bat and stop the balls that Mccormick hurled.
OF course the Park Theatre amateurs were re-
tired on strikes as fast they went to bat.
but there never suspected the trick that had
been put up on them. When Mccormick went
to bat he spat on his hands, picked out smooth
willow bat. and gave the first ball that came
along as delicate swipe as ever annihilated
sphere. Well, the crowd waited for the ball to
come down, but it never came.
Three months after that Mcconnell went
down to Coney Island to walow in the surf,
and he found that ball bobbng around in the
water as gracefully as you please. He tried to
fish it out, but it was still hot from the fric-
tion of its journey through the air that it resist
ed human touch

Mr., RodWell's Contracts

1t Is intnnated iii some of our democratic en-

A Real Romance,

1t reads like Il condensed novel, but is said to
be Il story of real life. Thirty-two years ago a

three months after the acquaintance began the

quietly and happily together and had accumu-
lated considerable property when the hus-
band went TO California to better his for

to cStrangcmcnt and finally Il separation
and division of property The wife with her
share OF the money opened boarding house
Later, through the instrumentality of mu-

early lover, now Il Nevada millionaire, and
he at once took a train eastward, and in Il few
days was in the presence of the sweetheart In
his boyhood days. Their meeting is said to
have been an affecting one. Though an inter-

to be awakened ana the same attachment that
had characterized their early acquantanceship
