TIE question whether or not Catcher
Harter is Jonah" is uppermost in the
minds of many of the players at present.
He was formerly on the fire department
in Quincy. When he came here Peoria
had big fire. He left, and no more
fires were had until he returned, when
the city brewery was burned. He was
in Rock Island the other day and that
city was treated to furious blaze. Ii
is rumored that the Davenport people
called the game off Oh the pretext OF
rain on Sunday last, when in reality they
were afraid to let Harter get into the
town for fear that the base ball park
would be burned up. On the road to
Danvlle yesterday the members of the
club were willing to bet that if the citi-
zens did not chase Harter out of town
they would have big fire before he was
there twenty-four hours. Harter is hav'
ing hard luck, and is accused of being q
"hoodoo" besides.

ANOTHER PLAN TO BE TRIED.

There appears to be a very earnest
effort making among railroad manag-
ers TO arrive at some practicable plan
for putting an end to rate-cutting wars.
The latest plan was formulated at a
meeting of railroad men and bankers.in
New York. The details are not at hand,
but the principal feature of the plan APP
pears to be that in cases where the ad-
ministration of a railroad manager is
found to be unsatisfactory, with the
effect Of damaging the securities OF his
own and other roads, other rail-
road officials shall be notified of the
offense and the offending official be
asked to resign. There is probably
some provision for dealing more or less
summarily with a manager or other
official of the class described by Mr..
Adams, IN the event of his refusal to
resign, for otherwise the proposed plan
would not amount to much. Amanager
who was found violating his agreement
with other railroad officials, and by such
INSCRIPTIONS and unlawful means as
have recently been exposed. seeking to
take an undue advantage Of his COM
petitors, might be cut Off from all re-
lations with them-summarily boycotted
in case he insisted upon retaining his
position after being asked to sur
render it; or his road might
be dropped from the list of the stock ex-
change and ignored by the bankers
who deal in railway securities. OBJ
viously a simple request to resign, with
no penalty for n refusal to do so, would
have no weight with the railroad
officials described by the president of
the Union Pacific. The plan that will
keep these in line, and according to
Mr.. Adams, they are numerous, must
have severe penalties and be %relent-
lessly enforced. Perhaps such a plan
may result from the agitation of the
subject, without at the same time
menacing the rights and interests of
the public.
the question of bringing about
better relations between the
railroads and obviating rate wars grows
in interest, The public is obtaining
from il n great deal of instructive in
formation which it might not have been
possible to obtain in any other way.
The managers themselves have turned
the light upon each other, aud the dis
closures have Como farto justify the long
prevailing popular distru5t OF the men
who control and manage the vast rail
road system OF the country. The effect
has certainly been to strengthen the
public conviction Of the necessity of a
strict and firmly enforced national reg
uletion of the railroads, and to siieaco
much OF the objection that has been
made to the existing lew
for this purpose. There as a more earn
est demand than ever before that the
policy which has becu catered upon
shall be maintained aud nude stronger
in whatever directions it may be shown
to need strengthening. II the railroads
can establish and maintain better rela-
,ions between themselves 1t will be
