DETROIT, Dec, 2O.-Ex-President Stearns,
OF the Detroit Baseball club, said today:
Il think that notwithstanding the pur-
chase by Rowe and White of the con-
trolling interest in the Buffalo club,
both men will play in the clubs to which
they We're assigned. This is only my
opinion, but do know that neither will
play in the Buffalo team unless they want
to render themselves and the club liable to
expulsion. The International league is
one of the associations that made the
national agreement. If Rowe and White
insist on playing with the Buffalos it will
be violation of this agreement.
The players will be blacklisted and any
team that plays with the Buffalos will
itself liable to a penalty. They can own
cannot play until they have the consent of
the representatives of the stockholders of

HARRISON1S CALLERS.
Bx-President Hayes and Other Prominent
Men Among the Number

INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 20.-General Harri-
sons visitors today were not nearly as
numerous as yesterday Quite a number
of the western veterans who attended the
Loyal Legion banquet remained over to-
day and were among the president-elect's
callers About 1G o'clock ex-President
Hayes with his son Rutherford drove out
to General Harrisons. When General
Hayes called with the members of the
Loyal Legion yesterday General Harrison
expressed desire to see him alone and an
appointment was made for the talk this
morning. 1t is supposed that the main
purpose of the conference was to OBJ
tain from the eX-president some
information acquired in his experience as
chief magistrate. 1t is believed by some
politicians that General HAYES will be
offered a mission abroad by the new presi-
dent. After his conference with the pres
ident-elect, General Hayes called upon the
widow of the late Senator Morton at
Woodruff Place, and this afternoon left
for home.
Among General Harrison's other callers
of prominence was Colonel William Cas-
sius Goodloe, of Kentucky, who had
charge of the assignment of speakers at
the national Republican headquarters
during the campaign. 1t is currently re-
ported that Colonel Goodloe aspires TO an
important position under the in
coming administration. During the
bIief conference the other dav
with General Britton, chairman of inaugu-
raj committee, it was learned that the
president-elect made but one request and
that was that the survivors of his old regi-
ment, the Seventeen Indiana, would CON
stitute his escort at Washington Hereto
fore the federal troops have been the
guard Of the president-elect on Inaugural
ton day. 1t is expected that with favor

presidency. They did not make any
nominations, but adopted resolution
inviting Mayor Hewitt of New York, to
become their candidate for president.
Mr.. Hewitt has been suspected Of hav-
ing an ambition to be president, but
this bait was not TO his liking. As
compliment TO his zeal in protecting the
American flag from contamination by
undue association with any other flag he
may have appreciated the recognition
of his superior claims to the considera
tion Of the American party, but he is
not in the presidential business this
year, either on his own account, or, us
it appears, that of anybody else. The
new party, however, will doubtless have
q candidate, and it may be that here
and there he will receive few votes.
This movement deserves nothing bet
ter than ridicule, but there is just
enough Of seriousness in It's character to
entitle it to little I'll oughtful consider
alton 1t really represents sentiment
much more extended than would be in
ferrcd from the numerical strength, so
far as developed, of the new party. 1t
is the sentiment against immigration
which was recently voiced in the Get
tysburg address of George William
Curtis, which is being persstcntly
drummed into the public ear
by certain uninlluential newspa-
pers and by magazine writers, and which
it is to be apprehended may acquire ac-
ceptahcc among those who will not give
the matter intelligent and careful con-
sideration. We have so frequently dis
cussed this immigration question that
we need not repeat the arguments
against any policy of restriction beyond
that already adopted. Our laws, if
properly enforced, will keep out pau
pers, criminals, the insane, and persons
under contract to labor, and further
than this restriction should not go. 1t
is probably u fact that the laws are not
enforced, but that is fault to be rem
edied BY the people electing an eX-
ecutive who will see that the
laws are enforced, and by
congress providing adequate ma
hinery for their enforcement. 1t is a
wholly false and untenGble assumption
that this country has reached the con-
dition when it can afford to shut out
immigration, except of the Objectionable
kind already excluded by law.
We do not apprehend that the new
party, which, despite its title, is at war
with principles purely American which
have stood the test of a century, with
the grandest results to the republic, is
likely to make much headway, but it is
always the safe course TO warn the
people against insidious appeals to
selfshness and prejudice.

Perhaps not more than ten voters in
every ten thousand are aware OF the
fact that there is an organization call
ing itself the American party, and very
likely not more than half OF those who
know OF the existence of this misnamed
organization have any idea of its OBJ
iects. To the older class of voters,
whose recollection of political parties
goes back 'thirty-tive years, the name of
the present organization will naturally
recall the old lnow-nothing party and
imply another effort to introduce in our
politics the essentially un-American
principles of that memorable but short
lived organization. The so-called
American party of to-day is not exactly
reproduction of the know-nothing
party, though it has some of
differs chiefly in these respects,
that it does not exclude from its ranks
citizens of foreign birth who are in
sympathy with its policy, and it does not
make religion IL principal object of
its attack. Its present battle cry is to
preserve America for Americans, and
by way of doing this it proposes the re-
striction of immigration, n discrimina-
tion between those immigr ants are de-
sirable and those that are Objectionable,
and more careful limitations upon the
granting OF the rights of citizenship.
1t is not matter Of great moment
when, where or how this party origi-
mated. Some months ago few score
men, having no political standing or
party afiiliation, got together in Phila-
delphia and formulated set of princi-
ples for the new party, and recently

others, have held what they were

The curtain has fallen on this terms Grim

of the criminals have heard their sentence

Of his honor Judge Croft will bring forth.
The men who were brought before the Judge
yesterday were the same ones who pleaded
guilty or were convicted at this terms GRIM

pended until the court could investigate their
cases and see what, if any, clemency they
desc rived.
George Corcoran pleaded guilty to horse
stealing. He is 81 years old and for some
time before his arrest had been
taking care of DR.. Tilton's office
and horses. His conduct became such that
the doctor considered him partially insane,
or at least not competent to longer perform
his duties, and discharged him on Saturday
night. The next Monday morning he went to
the DOCTORS officesapd seeing the horse tied
in front of it, got in the buggy and started
for the west. He was arrested at Waterloo.
He claimed that he simply took the horse to
drive out into the country to secure Job of
work, and intended to return it. On the
strength of this statement, the court made a
thorough investigation of the case, but found
that Corcoran tolk the horse to enable him to
escape from pafJcS VINO were llaDle TO prefer
charges against him that he would have
found some trouble In explaining away, The
court, owing to the age of the criminal, SEN
fenced him to five years in the state peniten-
tiary
bEd Wise, convicted of the burglary of a
lodging house where he was stopping, was
the next man called for sentence. He had
taken number OF suits of old clothes be-
longing to the dodgers in the building. The
court stated that he had no reason to exercise
any leniency in this case, and would fix the
regular burglar sentence on to Wise. The
latter will remain in Lincoln ten years.
Charles Wilson, convicted of grand lar
ceny, was sentenced to one year in the peni-
tentary. Wilson had stolen $50 out of the
safe in the Omaha Coal, Coke and Lime
companys office while he was drunk. The
criminal stated that this was his first offense,
and that he had always been hard-working
man.

Whatever may come of the mutual
agreement for joint tracks between the
Motor line and the Gable Tramway COM
pany, the practice of laying tracks dis
connected from any main line and leav-
ing them for months and years to
obstruct public thoroughfares should be
prohibited by ordinance. If street
railway company means business it
should never be permitted TO tear up
and obstruct streets with tracks unless
they are a part of a continuous line
from a fixed terminus.
The practice of laying down half a
dozen rails at a crossing in order to hold
the street againsta rival line should not
be tolerated. The right of crossing
the tracks OF q rival line is es-
tablished by law. The company
that occupies and operates line of
street railway on given thoroughfare
first is entitled to priority and if the
street is too narrow to allow more than
one set of tracks, the company that oc-
cupies the street very properly holds
the ground as against another, unless
by mutual consent both use one set of
tracks.
The council should, by all means, de-
fine by ordinance the width of streets
that will justify the laying down gilmore
than single track for street railways.
All the streets in the original town site
which are one hundred feet wide, will
accommodate four tracks without serious
Inconvenience to the public, but be-
yond the original city limits most of the
streets laid out vary from thirty to sixty
feet in width. These streets are not
wide enough for two double tracks and
a roadway between tracks and curbs.
The condition OF Twentieth, between
Cass and Cunning Streets, affords
striking example of this state of facts
and should impel the council to estab-
lish once and for all time the width of
street on which single street railway
tracks only will be permitted and the
width required for two or four tracks.
When this has been done and the lay
ing down of rust streaks has been pro-
hibited, the warfare between rival lines
will simmer down to a question of
means to build and operate lines.
