THE base ball managers have decided
that 81, 500 is the limit of salary which
shall be paid to professional players dur
ing the next year. The Kellys and
Clarksons and Ewings will doubtless
grieve over the hardships of their lot,
but when it is considered that good
newspaper man, or leading attorney
in small county, or good average
preacher, or the principal of city
school, is glad to exercise his talents for
half that amount, it seems likely that
the crop of professional ball players will
not be failure, for some time at least.

CHICAGO is to have a new Democratic
postmaster, General Newberry, who is
characterized as friend of the spoils ell
ement of the party, and the Tribune says
that though he will be likely to stay only
until March 4th, he can do much in
three months:
"He can make the postoffice more de-
moralized than it Is now. He can bounce
all the Mugwumps, galvanized Demo-
Gratis" and "silk stockings" and put In
the "toilers," the boys who look up to
Mike Mcdonald. They could draw pay
for quarter of the year at least. 1t is a
great opportunity for the General to
feed some of the hungry ones who have
stuck their shouts in no trough, Federal
or municipal, for nearly two years.

WILMINGTON, Del, Nov. 27.-Three

whipped at Newcastle this morning for

from five to twenty lashes each, lightly
laid. About $50 spectators pere present.

build line of twelve large steamships,

Mr.. EDITOR AS editors are sup
posed to know almost everything,
will you please inform me by what
constitutional right the senate Of the
United States are originating a rev.
eune bill. Being an old Jefferson
ian democrat and knowing something
of constitutional rights ] hardly see
how the senate can do otherwise
than either pass the Mills bill or
reject il altogether, l.. w.
Our esteemed democratic friend,
l.. w, is familiar both with the
"constitu,i q" Call Jeffersonsonian
democrats are, you know and has
6een a very good legislator in the
legislature of Vermont, and he knows
very we'll that while the senate has
no right to originate revenue meas
ures, it has full right to amend all
bills that reach that body from the
House. 1t seems to be the desire
and design of the senate to so amend
that bill as to make it tolerant in
that section of the country where
prosperity and intelligent progress
most abound.

details entered into by the gossipers,
The House committee on expendit-
ures in the treasury department, to
whom was referred the bill providing
for the printing of government secur-
tiles in the highest style of art, have
made their report 1t amends the
bill so as to provide that all govern
ment securities, bonds, notes, and in
ternal revenue stamps shall be print
ed in the highest style of plate print
ing, from hand roller presses. 1t also
changes the law, so as to require that
the chief of the Bureau of engraving
and printing shall be practical en-
graver or plate printer.
Joint discussions seem to be grow
ing in favor again. Representatives
Hovey and Matson, rival candidates
for governor of Indiana, have agreed
to make joint canvass, and now it
is proposed that Speaker Carlisle
challenges Mr.. Blaine for a joint dis
cussion of the tariff, each to make
twelve speeches in as many promi-
nent cities. Mr.. Carlisle has already
expressed his willingness, and it is
believed that the arrangement will be
agreeable to Mr.. Blaine. The speech
es will certainly draw large crowds,
and the people will be well repaid for
attending, if the arrangement can be
carried out.
Some idea of the enormous quaint
ty of tariff literature sent out from
here, may be gathered from the fact
that up to date the House folding
room alone has used this year H.
600, 900 envelopes for speeches. This
is 4 ,0O0,0 900 in excess of the number
ever used before in single year.
The House has been without quo
rum over half the time since the pass
age of the Mills bill.

The american CuliUdtOr has never
deemed it wise to advise its readers
concerning the subject of party pol
itics. We believe the resources of
this country are so immense, the in
telligence and patriotism of its people
so great, that no set of politicians,
nor any political party sustained by
a majority of the legal voters, can
long endanger the national prosper
ity or check the progress Of this
broad republic. We do not feel
concerned, however, in such propos-
ed tariff legislation as will ruin mill
lions of farmers by permitting for
eign wool to enter this country free
of duty, while protecting manufac-
turers of woolens with a forty per
cent. duty on foreign goods. We
think 1000, 900 farmers entitled to
as much protection at the hands of
Tie SeueIdl SONCl hllOhO 40 A",OOV
manufacturers. We think hay and
potatoes and other farm produce
which untaxed Canadian farmers can
pour in upon us, if placed upon the
free list, are entitled to fair protec-
ton, while rice is protected under
duty of 100 per cent. and sugar 6S
per cent. We believe in justice to
all classes. Farm products should
be protected until free trade be the
rule in every industry. One class
of farmers should not be crushed
under foreign competition, while
another class may bask in the sun
shine of protection.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washinoton. Aug. 2Oth.

Washington, dug. 2Oth.
Senator Allison says the treasury
surplus is gone, at least that for the
current year is. 1t has been wiped
out by the unusually large appropri-
ations made by the present congress.
This discovery is likely to prove
somewhat awkward for the tariff re-
formers, and has created a veritable
sensation here. An inquisitive gent
us, noticing the heavy appropriations
for pensions, public buildings, the
heavy appropriations for pensions,
public buildings, the river and harbor
bill, and other things, started in to
do little figuring. First, he got
the estimates of the treasury depart
ment for the receipts of the current
fiscal wear. Then he footed up the
appropriations already made and
those certain to be made by congress.
The startling result was that there
was no surplus for this year, or such
small one as not to be worth noting.
It seems strange that such an import
ant matter should have been over
looked until this time. 1t is likely to
have a very important bearing on
many things. 1t makes it very doubt
full whether the dependent pension bill
will get through the House, at either
this or the next session of the fiftieth
congress, likewise the Blair educa-
tional bill for the passage by the
House of either one of these bills
would create a big deficiency. And
last but by no means least, it will
have an important bearing on the
pending campaign. If there is no
surplus no need can exist for reduc-
ing taxation of any kind. The poll
ticians are all worked up about it,and
1T may result in the republicans of
the senate abandoning their efforts to
formulate a substitute for the Mills
bill. In the meantime let everybody
keep cool, and be patient during this
warm weather. Senator Allison is
making up an official statement that
may put different face on the mat
ter.
The republican senator are still at
work on the substitute for the Mills
bill, although it is said that Mr..
Blaine is endeavoring to get them to
abondon the idea entirely, but the
most prominent members of the fl
nance committee say that it is not
true, and that they are going right
ahead with their bill, which they pro-
pose to discuss and pass before adj
journing. They claim, too, that their
substitute will be accepted by the
House; that at least twenty demo-
Gratis will vote with the republicans
of the House for the substitute. Per-
haps they will and perhaps they will
not. Time only can tell.
There aremmanv rumors here that
Mr.. Cleveland is dissatisfied with
the management of Chairman Brice
of the democratic national executive
committee, and wants him to resign.
Col. Lamont says these reports are
false, but still they are repeated. and
