PITTsBURG, April Is. -Henderson
pitched for the home team and held the
Chicagos down to four hits. He was very
wild, however, and gave eight men their
bases on balls. Van Haltern was not as
effective as usual. Pittsburg took kindly
to his delivery at the start and kept it up
to the finish, earning six of their runs.
Attendance, $500.
Score-Pittsburg I, Chicago 4.
INDIANAPOLIS, April 2S.-The third
game between the Indianapolis and De-
troit clubs was witnessed by 1000 people.

which both Boyle and Getzein did fine
execution, as the base record will show.
The day was saved for the Detroits by
Thompson home run drive over the right
field fence in the sixth inning. Rowe
joined the Detroits to day and PLAYED his
regular position.
Score-1ndianapolis O, Detroit 1.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Bostons
won a well earned victory to day over the
Washihgtons. The local team played
well, but lost by errors. At an unfortu-
nate phase of the contest Nash cheated
many of the statesmen out of base hits by
brilliant work at second. The Washing
tons tied the score in the eighth inning,
but in the tenth the Bostons won the
game on a drop fly by Wilmot and Mack's
misiudGment.
Score-Washington 3, Boston 4
New YORK, April 2S.-The New
Yorks again defeated the Philadelphias
at the Polo grounds to-day. They gave
them an unmerciful %drubbing and the
visitors were badly ratified. In the third
inning they had Casey so broken up that
he did not know which way to turn. He
pitched very badly. Titcomb and Muir
ply was battery for New York, and good
the Twins" as they are dubbed, proved
themselves to be. Murphy evoked
round after round of applause by HIS
catching and throwing to the bases.
Some G., 500 people witnessed the game.
Score-New York IA, Philadelphia /.

A Pretty Scene.

A pretty little scene vas witnessed
yesterday at a north side street cross
ing. A 3-year-old child, with glow
ing cheeks and sparkling eyes, hold
ing tightly clasped in his chubby fin
gers a bright new penny, was toddling
with all the possible speed Of his little
limbs toward the nearest candy store.
He came to the crossing just as a
teamster came along with heavily
laden truck which taxed the horses
strength to the utmost. The child
started for the opposite sidewalk, but
stopped hesitatingly on seeing the
wagon. With "a loud ''Whoal the
driver pulled up his horses and WITH
a smile lighting up his rugged face
waved MS whip, motioning for the
little fellow TO proceed. The boy ran
across the street, and, turning around
when be reached the pavement, stood
for an instant watching the horses as
they tagged and strained 10 start their
heavy load again. Then he raised his
hands to his lips and waited kiss *

were further interchanges of kisses
and smiles. and the wagon rolled
down the street and the little gentle

ATURDAY DECEMBER %


The telegraph yesterday reported sew
eral instances in the South Of riots be-
tween the whites and blacks, and the
general idea in the mind Of the public is
thar there il risk Of conflict between
the races all over the Southern States.
There Is no Disgusting the fact that the
recent triumph Of the Republican party
has caused these disturbances, because
the colored man thinks that the power
Of the Government win allow him all
the license he warts. Let US look at the
situation by the cold light Of
reason: In many Southern States
the blacks and the mean white men have
the majority and could control things.
The immediate after-war idea was that
the bayonet was the instrument Of liberty,
and It was supposed that the sacred right
Of the ballot should be protected by the
bayonef But the times have advanced,
and we know that the American people
win not prescribe the bayonet to one
State, when their precedent might expose
any other State TO the same risk.
II the 1853 electoral votes Of the South
could be hypothecated by the bayonet
the colored citizens hired out to the
North might find chief ike the Mahdi
in the dark continent, and the Republi-
can party could pass law 70 make Jay
Gould President; for the pocket vote
would be foregone conclusion Of sale
of the Government TO the monopolists.
The people may not see this point at
present, and still II is the trouble, and the
people Of the North ought TO see to It
that the South Is not made pocket
borough TO kin the spirit Of our insti-
tutions with. President Harrison might
get the Republican Congress to pass such
acts that the immense negro majorities
In some Southern States could control
the politics Of the South. But the ques-
lion Is simply whether the Southern
States can be made into a Hayti, OF
whether the attempt would not forever
assassinate the reputation of the states.
man who tried IT, The issue is
perfectly square, aad come what viii the
trial Of the cause will be before the court
OF American commce sense and justice
We do not believe for one moment that
the negro can dominate the white race In
the South.
There "a no way by which It could be
done, for Il the North should send mil
lion Of soldiers down South to accomplish
the win Of such men as Malone the
soldiers would fraternize with tho white
pscple But this brings US TO the settle
ment Of the difficulty, as we have stated
Il 50 often-viz.: That the States should
be left 10 attend TO their own business.

Planting with a Cannon.

Alexander Nasmyth, the landscape
painter, was a man fruitful in expedi-
ents. To his mind, the fact that q
thing could not be done in the ordi-
nary manner was no reason why fl
should be given up. His son relates
the following interesting example of
his ingenuity:
The Duke Of Athol consulted him as
to some improvements which he de
sired to make in his woodland scenery
near Dunkeld.
Among other things, a certain rocky
crag needed to be planted with trees,
to relieve the grim barrenness of its
appearance. The question was how to
do it, as it was impossible for any man
to climb the crag, in order to set seed
or plants in the clefts of the rock.
A happy idea struck my father
Having observed in front Of the castle
a pair of small cannon, used for firing
salutes on great days, it occurred tc
him to turn them TO account.
A tinsmith in the village was or
dered TO make a number Of canisters
with covers. The canisters were filed
with all sorts of suitable tree seeds.
The cannon was loaded, and the can.
listers were fired up against the high
face of the rock. They burst, and
scattered the seed in all directions.
Some years after, when my father
revisited the place, he was delighted
to find that his scheme Of planting by
artillery had proved completely sue
cessful; the trees were hourishing
luxuriantly in all the recesses Of the
cliff. Youths Companion.

A man wearing head full of black
hair and a lip full of white bristles
attracted the attention of a dealer in
wigs yesterday. He said: THAT is the
latest fad. The man has bleached his
mustache. The bleach is not applied
by hairdressers, but is sold in bottles
and applied at home. One application
Of the bleach will turn a fierce red
mustache into a lovely blonde or old
gold tint. You can't find as many
red mustaches now as were worn six
months ago, for the bleach is becOm
ing popular. Boards are treated in
the same way, and men with dark
hair and light mustaches are increas-
ing every day. The bleach is injurious
to the hair, and the only way to re-
store the original color is to shave the
mustache off and let it grow out
again. 1t is hard to detect a bleached
mustache, but experts can do it every

REPUBLICAN DIFFIcuLTrEs-The in
nslion Of currency by the action of the
Treasury during the year 1888 was re-
markable In motive and character, and
In the lessons which are taught by its
results. II began Ia September and
ended in the latter part Of October, and
as soon as the election was over a con-
siderable decline was permitted, which
still continues. During July and Au-
gust the Treasury had permitted the vol
ume Of currency to shrink, because there
was lack Of demand for the amount In
circulation. Prices, both Of commodities
and Of stocks, moderately advanced. In
wheat the advance was not moderate !;
speculation based on the short crop, and
aided by the excessive supply Of cur
rency previously outstanding, had lifted
the price 50 far as to stop exports. But
other prices on the whole changed but
little In spite Of hurtful speculation,
tariff uncertainty, prolonged and dis
astrous railroad wars, and the disturb
ance incident to a Presidential campaign,
substantial improvement of business

emphatic language when Il says.
In favor Of the exorbiiant duties pro-
posed in the Senate tariff bill on steel
rails. steel beams, cotton ties, and other
articles II has been pleaded in the Senate
that il was necessary to maintain them
because Of the duties paid by the manu-
facmrers upon their materials at every
stage in the process Of production. Just
as If this did not constitute an argument
for an equitable reduction of those
duties Senator Edmunds in response
10 a protest against an increase Of the
duty on cotton ties, declared that he voted
ito keep the price as low as possible by
making the duty as high as possible
With such wretched cant as this do the
Senatorial advocates Of tariff extortion
find it necessary TO defend their measure.
