THE NORTH SHOULD BE REC.
OGNIZED.

Referring to the interview of
Hon. Il. p. McCabe, ex-Auditor of
Kansas, in last Wednesday issue
of the "St. Louis Globe Demo
crat, one of the most enterprislng
and widely circulated Republican
journals in the country, we must
congratulate that gentleman on
his manly utterances as we'll as up
on the happy selection of this time
at which to force an issue upon the
relative merits of colored politicians
and colored voters at the South
and North. Mr.. McCabe begins by
placing himself, his followers and
friends at the North squarely in
line with the theories and policy of
Mr.. Harrison as it concerns the
great national economic question.
He believes that the policy of the
President will eventuate in the ed
ucation Of the masses up to full
and just appreciation and adoption
of a system of Protection aud ar.
CUES the developement of such
system must unite all wage-work-
ers into a wiser, more liberal and
far-reaching brotherhood, in which
all classes of citizens will be repre-
sented and respected according to
merritt. Like sagacious politici-
an and thinker, he frankly states
that, waile material developement
is one of great importance he re.

of American citizenship of far more

establishment of a perfect equality

all the safeguards designed to eli
cit the fullest and most untram-
melled expression of the popular
will, must precede of necessity,
the means of material and social
advancement in broad sense. Up
on the matter of official recognition
as a measure and acknowledge
ment of party strength. Mr.. Nc
Cabe speaks with no uncertain
sound. He does not assume the at
titude Of a croaker or an apoligist,
nor does he speak in the role of a
prophet; but "speaks right out"
in the interest of the whole race.

The policy of this adminis'ra
ton Will be found in the Platform
upon which Mr.. Harrison was
elected TO the Presidency. In that
platform lies the path of duty. If
Mr.. Harrison will follow it %the
country is safe and the Negro is
secure in all his rights as a citizen.
He will get his share of the fed
eral patronage aud will have no
cause to murmur, We shall see
what we shall see.

WELCOME PENICKS.

Mr.. Thomas E. Penlcks, form
erIy foreman Of the Folding room
at the Government Printing Office
was enthusiastically received on
last Monday by his numerous
friends in that department. Mr..
Penicks took charge of his old
position just as if he had never
been away from it. On his desk
were several handsome bouquets
of flowers Presented by tie ladies
of the room. In the centre OF
those flowers was a large hand
some pillow and in the centre OF
it the word
WELCOME,
also of flowers, was placed, which
showed that be still retained the
confidence, respect and admira,
tion of those few who had been
left in the folding room. There
will be several changes made in
the folding room which will great
ly facilitate business and there il
no doubt but that Mr.. Penicks
will recognize the merits of a Few
worthy colored ladies in his de
partment who have never been
given an opportunity.

been put to 1t there is no telling where 1t
would have led to. High prices for players
releases and fancy salaries would have killed
baseball in a very short time If measures
had not been taken by tho club owners all
over the country to put n stop to 1t

we would surely win the pennant. If these

these unreasonable demands of us IL they
were In our place and knew the inside facts
as well as we do. One man can never win n
championship, and II we cannot win it with
out Ward we could not win it with him. We
arc not as much In need of a short stop as
several other clubs In the League, and even
they would not pay half the amount for
Ward that New York asks for him.
1.-THE reason that the price set on Ward was
placed at such a high figure was not because
of his superiority as a player las there are
many players just as good as he), but because
he Is an intelligent man and would make q
good manager for any club. The club that
would use him as q p~layer-manager could
afford to pay twice as much for his release
as we, because they would save a managers
salary by the operation. We nave a man.
ager, however, and it would DO throwing
money away to purchase some players ro-

hat he could also manage a club. If people

they would not make such unreasonable de-

In the year 1887 eight of the get Of Elec-
tioneer entered the magic circle. They wero
Ansel, 2:2O; Maiden, 2:23; Bell Boy, eco;
Whips, 2.27A; Old Nick, 2:23; Stella, 2:23H;
Clifton Bell, 2:2i, md Eros, 2:2sX. In tho
year 1888 thirteen of tho foals of Electioneer
trottcd to records in 2:3O or better. They
were Elector, 2;21N; Juno, 2:23; Gertrude

great e-ycar-old Sunol, 2:1s; Palo Alto Belle,
2:2SH, and Mortimer, 4-year-old, 2:27.
Tn power Of Electioneer to sire fast trot-
ters from all kinds of mares Is especially
noticeable, and his marvellous producing
power Is apparent In no fact that from
strictly thoroughbred mares he has sired fast
~trotters, nor docs It seem that his ability in
this direction is confined to ono clnss Of
thoroughbreds, or to mares of my certain
lines of blood.
OF the thirteen trotters by Electioneer this
yenr, three were out of strictly thoroughbred
dams. Tho list of his get from thoroughbred
dams TO date Is Ansel, $50 lin q jog); Palo

1888 trotted to a 3-year-old record of 2:10X,
which WINS undisturbcd until 1887, when 1t
WINS beaten by Sable Wilkes, e;1s. Man
zanita holds the 4-year-old record of 2:1G, and
tho nearest approach to 1t is Susie s. milo
In 2:1a.
Wldlower, In 1881, astonished the world
by t~rotting n 2-year-old record of 2:21, which
was never approached until In 1888, Axtell,
by William L., trotted in 2:23, while a fort
night only elapsed until tho 2-year-old Elec-
tioneer FLY Sunol trotted in 2;20b, and n
fortnight later in 2:1s. This gives to Palo
Alto the fastest yearling,. 2-year-old and

There Is also at Palo Alto the fastest son

His foals, especially those from daughters of

few two year olds, but tho greater number
Of them are yearlings, and from this union
there win undoubtedly come some first class
trotters The yearlings by Norval, Ansel,
Clay and other sons of Ele~ctioneer are also
remarkably fine. They all act like t~rottcrs,
and arc youngsters of substance and high

of the members of the champion team In
1877. In rs Manager Douglass induced him
to leave Boston and go with the new Provi-
dence team the first year they were In the
League.
In 10 Mr.. Murnane went with several old
League players to Albany to form a club,
but remained but a short time when the team
was transferred to Rochester. In the fall of
that season they took a trip through the west
and went as far as California Murnane then
went into business In Boston and gave up the
game until the Union association was formed
and he was drafted into the business once
more as manager of the Boston team In that
association. In 1876 he organized the Boston
Blues, of the New England League, and To-
Gated them In Boston, where he sold out his
ranchise to Walter Burnham in the summer
Of that season. He has done work for The
New York Clipper, Police News and several
other papers and Is now the baseball editor
of t Boston Globe. There are not n dozen
writers on our national sport who are so well
equipped to analyze a ball game as Is Tim
Murnane. As O player he never lost his
head
As a writer no is always clear and judicial
In his Judgment. He calls n spade a spade,
and he knows a hawk from a handsaw.n
He is quick to detect the weak points of a
player and Is just as ready to say kind words
where praise is merited. Tim Murnane has q
legion Of personal friends, and the baseball
multitude are agreed that his opinions are
always worthy of consideration. He has
brought out some of the best players In tho
country.

Elecioneer, one OF the greatest sires In the
world, Is ono OF tho many noted horses on the
Palo Alto farm Electioneer was foaled In
1868 he was sired by Hambletoninn 10, dam
the world famed Harry Clay brood mare
Green Mountain Maid; second dam Shanghai
Mary, a fast t~rotting marc OF unknown
blood Incredible as 1t may seom to the
theorists and adhercnts of pedigrees made up
Of eight or ten crosses Of different blood, this
Is all there Is of the blood lines OF this famous
sire-Hambletonian, Harry Clay and n marc
OF unknown blood, which has accomplished
nothing Of note except In this single conncc-
ton
Electionecr Is the sire Of forty-one Q 30 trot-
ters, and forty-six daughters which have pro-
duced more than fifty ESQ t~rotters, andis out
of this great old mara He is a combination
of the founder of the greatest trotting family,
and tho foremost mare of a great brood mare
family; a trotter himself, and all his sisters
and cousins and nunts are ~trotters, and from
the most ~prcpotent families His great sue
cess Is not enigmatical or a marvel, but only
tho legitimate sequence of a grand speed in
heritance and strong individuality.
Senator Stanford purchased Electioneer of
Charles Backman In 1873
AT Stony Ford the horse had been given
but little opportunity to demonstrate his
quality as a sire At that time large stations
were In favor, and the breeding of tho dam
Of Electioneer was extremely unpopular, so
much so, In fact, as to be held In contempt.
1t resulted that Electioneer WINS entirely neg
lected and had but few foals when no was re-
moved 10 his California homo AT the close of
the year 1887 had about 800 foals; of these SO
were weanlings, 81 were yearlings and about
40 were brood mares without records. or
tho whole number OF his foals 231 were bays,
8 were roans, 3 were grays and tho residue
were either browns or blacks, so that moro
than 9S per cent of his get are solid color.
At the close OF 1887 there had been bred mt
Palo Alto 2o4 foals by Electioneer; of this
number 3S now have records in ESQ or better.
Nine OF them, IA 2-year-olds, secured records
better than ESQ. They arc WIldnowcr, 2:o1;
