New York is the greatest baseball city in the
world. There are more people of leisure in
that city than in any other on the continent,
and the growing interest in baseball con-

For this season Mr.. Wiman has provided
baseball ground on Staten Island that is
equal to anything of the kind anywhere. It
is only a half hours sail from New York city,

st. Paul Press: Chicago is reaping
the whirlwind. For years it's municipal
government has been In the hands Of
representatives OF the criminal classes
who have paid for their places by the
grant of substantial immunity to their
constituency. Lawlessness has been
encouraged and crime condoned. The
legal authority has grown weak and
tlmld as the mob has grown strong and
bold, until the city has beer charged
with the potency OF anarchy. The labor
Troubles OF the last week have crystal.
lizea. ssiisis potency into action. The mob
has undertaken to foreclose its mortgage
upon Chicago. Socialistic agitators and
dynamite piotters have usurped control
OF legitimate movement for the re-
ductIon OF hours of labor,
strike has been turned
into n riot. The mob that assembled
IN the Haymarket yesterday is no pro.
duct of the labor agitation. 1t is the
legitimate outgrowth of the policy that
has controlled the administration of
public affairs in Chicago. The death of
the Six policemen, Significantly caused
by the explosion of dynamite bomb,
and the other oEtrages committed by
the mob upon police and citizeps are
directly attributable to the immdnity SO
long enjoyed by the worst clements in
Chicago's population. Tie depIorable
occurrences of yesterday are dcubly
ominous. They warn the law abiding
majority to purify and strengthen the
city governments; to take the municipal
executive opS OF the hands of gamblers
and thugs; to restrain lawlessness
and punish crime with q
stroag hand, and to win for
the legally constituted authorities the
wholesome respect of the disreputabie
class, which has learned to despise them
as Its creatures. No less plainly do they
warn honest and lawful labor organ
izations to keep clear of combination
| with plotters against public peace and
social order. Violence and murder
were never any part Of the purpose Of
the laborers who struck for shorter
hours of labor in Chicago. But their
movement was seized upon by the
socialist leaders and turned into chan
nels never intended by them. Discredlt
has been brought upon movement Iew.
full and peaceable in its origin. The
cause of labor has been smirched with
crime and stained with blood. Citizens
and workingmen OF Chicago have been
taught sharp, and probably useful
lesson.

AT SIOUX FALLS.

Adjourned Meeting OF the al0nstitu-
tiOnaI Convention.
Sioux Falls, Oak, May 1.-The con-
stitutionai convention met at ten O'Clock
this morning with the president, Judge
a. j. Edgerton, proEiding. Nearly all
parts Of the proposed state were repre-
sented by the regular delegates, and
among those present were noticed
kanouse, Kellam, Owen, Campbell,
Stone, McCullum and other wheel
horses in the statehood movement AS
many other delegates were expected to
arrive during the day, very little was
done this morning, when an adjourn
ment was taken until tomorrow morn
ing at ton o'clock. Upon request Judge
Edgerton briefly, outlined the work
done by himself and Judge Moody at
Washington, assisted by Del egate Gift
ford, Congressman Kanonsa and. the
other representatives of the convention
III the interests of Dakota.
The judge expressed his continued
confidence IN the integrity of President
Cleveland, and believed that if congress
should pass the Harrison bill very little
opposition mlghs be expected from Mr..
Cleveland. The only argument ad-
vanced against the admission OF Dakota
was that she gas pre-eminently repub-
lican. He spoke in the highest terms of
the courtesy received from the members
OF the house committee on territories,
and had reason to believe that enough
fair minded democrats may be found in
congress to adopt the minority report
| of the committee on the Harrison bill.
He recognizeda a favorable omen for Da-
kota in the strong endorsement by con-
gressmen of Gladstone's scheme of bone
rule for Ireland, for the cause OF Dakota.
| is q parallel case, and no man can con-
sistently support the first and oppose
the latter.
Being called to attend court in Aurora
county, the judge stated he would be
| unable to remain during the session OF
| the convention, go he 9ppointed John A.
| Owen to fill the chair during his absence.
After adjournment an informal caucus
was held by the delegates present, at
which stirring zfemark5 were made by
Messrs. Kancuse, Owen, Kellam and
| McCullum. Judge Campbell spoke
| very earnestly of the Importance of
proceeding very carefully, and of thl,
necessity of the convention at this
time deyising scme practical plan
| whereby, in case congress should
fail before the close of the session to
pass law admitting Dakota. the consti-
tution already adopted and the state
government ]. therein provided for and
already elected, may be established, and
4 the question as to its being sustained by
the next congress be placed before the
people of the whole country. To formu-
llats such plan committee Of eight
delegates was appointed, with instruc-
/ tions to report to tie convention at the
earliest possible day.

The outlook for the small grain cror
in Dakota is very Hattering, and not only
is the promise bright for an excellent
quality of the cereals. but the acreage
is undoubtedly far in advance OF
previous years. 1t has been thought
that less ground would be given to the
culture of flax this season than pre-
vlously, but such is not the
case. The fax area has
been increased in nearly every
county where the crop has been sc
successful of late years. Farmers gen.
orally have prepared for large increase
of corn ground, this staple being in in
oreasing demand by local stock growers
for winter feeding. What the effect of
the labor disturbances will be on,s the
market it is difficult to ioreteil, but
there is little question that Dakota will
maintain her record as the grain pro-
dueing section Of the country.

1t is the Presidents Business.

The New York Sun quotes the TriJune'S
statement that recently in Maine Internal
Revenue Collector Redman attended cou-
vention and made speech, saying "that 1t
was his holiday and he had right to do as
he pleased on those days" and inquiries,
"What does Solicitor General jerks, the
most prominent interpreter OF Mr.. Cleve-
lands order to ofllceholders, say to that :"
The Brooklyn Eagle, taking up the Suns
inquiry, comments thus;
According to Mr.. Jeukss Interpretation Of
the Presidents letter Collector Redmau YiO-
lated its injunction, because his political nG-
tivity was manifested before any nomination
had been made. But Collector Redman ar
gued that 80 long rs his attendance ut the con.
vention involved no desertiOn or neglect Of
his official duties he had n perfect right 10 b.
there. Is there any reasonable objection u
that argument If the Presidents disclaimer Of
an intention to interfere with the individual
rights Of an oiiicchOlder means anything? Ger
tainly, Mr.. Cleveland does not pretend 10 say
how subordinate shall pass his leisure hour
and holidays
The NATIONAL REPUBLICAN, has as YET
seen no evidence Of sincerity or consistency
in the reform professions Of the present ad-
ministratlon. On the contrary, the whole
outft-promises, pledges, claims, mani
festoes, orders, &c.-are so transparent Il
humbug that only fools need be deceived
thereby.
The Eagles last remark-"Certainly Nr,
Cleveland does not pretend to say how u
subordinate shall pass his leisure hours and
holidays"--ls worth considering. To GER
tain extent II is the business OF the President
to interfere with subordnates In the matter
Of spending their leisure hours and holidays.
II subordinate were guilty OF gross i'm
morality or indecency during his vacation
or between the evening closing and morning
opening Of his Office he would be flt sub
ject for removal, even though he were a
model OF propriety during office hours.
On the same principle precisely 1t is the

An English Propagandist.

DIR. Edward Avellng, the well-known
London socialist, is coming to lecture in
the United States. 1t will be interesting to
observe the nature of his reception aud the
results of his labors In this country. His
appearance follows too closely upon the
recent performances in Chicago, and, al
though there is a wide theoretical differ
ence between socialism and anarchy, the
subjects are so mixed in the American mind
that the English propagandlst may find
himself generally associated with philoso-
pliers of the Most, schwab Spies, Ficlden,
and Parsons stripe, much to the detriment
Of his social and financial success. DIR.
Aveling Is a distinguished scientist, and
has, from time to time, been awarded the
highest honors that the London University
can confer. In the physical sciences he
holds iank next to the very highest. Turn
ing his attention to metaphysics and polit-
ical economy he has been for half dozen
years the mainstay OF Mr.. Bradlaugh's
paper, The National Reformcr. He is the
friend and ally OF Mr.. Bradlaugh and Mrs.
Annie Besant, the joint authors Of "Frults
Of Philosophy" Personally DIR. Aveling is
somewhat cadaverous.looking, with fine,
high forehead, intellectual face, aud very
pallid complexion. Housed to wear his black
hair down about his shoulders, and flatters
himself upon his resemblance to Henry
Irving. To those who are seriously inter
ested in social science, DIR. Avellng Is capa-
BILE Of presenting as clear an exposition as
can be desired, but we believe that he has
selected the wrong time for the ventilation
Of his theories in this country.

BuIRaria's king.

Some tall lying has been done by Euro
pean newspapers representing Russia, Aus
tria, and Prussia since the simple peasants
Of the Balkans rose In their fury and de-
manded that their prince should be restored.
Last week different ministers OF three en-
perors were congratulatiug themselves on
the coup d'etat aud ready for the usual grab.
But the soldiers and people of Bulgaria
have thrown themselves almost unaui-
mously on the side of their plucky though
mpolitic young prince, and on Saturday 1t
was cabled that Alexander had left his
fathers home en- route for Bulgaria. The
great powers involved in the attempted
deposition now protest that they knew
nothing whatever about 1t until after the
event. Emperor William heard Of 1t at a
regimental mess and had his appetite spoiled
for his fayorite fish soup. Bismarck went
knocking around the shooting galleries at
Gasten practicing at target to relieve his
surcharged mind Francis Joseph and the
czar must have gone to bed for week, as
we hear nothing about them. But the one
satisfactory result of all their scheming is
that of the three revolutionary leaders two
are to be hung and the third imprisoned for
life. The princes prospects are better than

ence local elections, either before or after
the party nominations are made.
Interference Of the central authority In
state elections robs the people Of the sacred
right Of local self.government II is pal
pable and scarcely less than reasonable
outrage. II is an invasion Of the domain
reserved to the people by the express terms
Of the national charter-the federal consti'
tuition. The federal authority has no more
right than a state to disregard the funda-
mental law, and It is as wrong and danger
Gus for the central power to transcend its
limits as for a state to attempt notification
Of an act Of Congress.
Whenever the salarled officials Of the ma
tional government, the subordinates of the
President, undertake to control or In-
fuence local elections, the right Of local
selfgovernment is invaded, for the pres
tige Of the administration and the money
raised by taxation to carry on the general
government are employed In a plain aud
dangerous iufraction Of the dearest right Of
American citizens, the right to manage
their local affairs In their own way.
