BASE BALL BRIEFS.

The change in the system of dividing
the gate receipts will, according to John
Wards figures, decrease the share of the
capitalists in each team about 500. In
Wards figures about the following earn
ings were assigned to each team next sea-
son.
New York, 500, 600; Boston $125, 600;
Philadelphia, 800, 600; Brooklyn, S75, 600;
Chicago, 800, 600; Pittsburg, $50, 900;
Cleveland, S75, 600; Buffalo, SIS. 600; total,
S73O,OOO.
xpenses-New York, $40 600; Boston,
SIS, 600; Philadelphia, $40. 900; Brooklyn,
$50. 900; Pittsburg $50, 900; Chicago, $685.
coz; Cleveland, 100000; Buffalo, $50, 600;
total, 1896, 900.
Prti;s-New York, $4,000; Boston,
$50 600; Philadelphia, $1,000; Brooklyn,
$50, 600; Chicago, S35 600; Cleveland, $25,-
600; PittsburG, $4,000; Buffalo, S25, 900;
total, 1925. 600.
OF this the players get, irrespective of
individual team earnings, about 5000 eaeh
Their half profits in each team is pooled
and divided; but the capitalists only take
one-half of their teams earnings.
To disinterested spectator it appears
that the League has the money and the
Brotherhood has the players. What the
outcome will be no one can tell. From
present indications it would seem that the
coming fight will not tend to elevate CT
improve the national game. Treachery
and Misrepresentation appear to be the bat
tle-cry, and as the truth begins to assert
itself many thousands of people will turn

TOM PLATT's PARTY.
A Party Struggle That May Disrupt tho
Republican Party.

A Party Struggle That May Disrupt tho
Republican Party.
Either Tom Platt is going into the
Cabinet or there is going to be trouble
for President Harrison in New York.
The fight is on and the return of MIR.
Platt from Alaska, where he has
gone to recruit his strength, will be a
signal for the fray.
Tom Plat represents the working
Republicans of the Empire State-the
men who control the organization of
the party from the primary to the
election of delegates to National
convention. Those Republicans have
been ignored by the President SO fur.
Acting under the advice of Mr.. Blaine,
undoubtedly, Mr.. Harrison has de-
c!ined to recognize the claims of Mr..
Platt or his friends. IN the distribu-
ton of Offices in New York up to this
time the recommendation of the
Platt men have been treated with
little less than contempt. At length
they have come to the conclusion that
war on the Administration is the only
means by which they can secure what
they are pleased to term their rights.
They will do no more pleading or
begging nor will they accept any
thing less taan the very best at the
disposal OF the Executive. The
favors which the Administration
Is expected to bestow upon them
for the return of cessation of hos
tilities must be headed by the APP
pointment of Tom PIatt to position
In the Cabinet. Ii this can not be
brought about the working Repub-
licans of the State are determined
that he shall succeed Mr.. Eyarts in
the Senate, and from his place on the
floor of the upper house CT Congress
they claim he will open a fight on
Blaine similar to that so well begun
and SO ignobly ended in Garfeld's
time.

Cabinet by President Harrison would

among the most curious people of
this continent" remarked John Olen-
dorff in a San Francisco hotel, ''are
the native poems of Mexico, and when
you look at the female portion of this
unaccountable race you get curious
representation that makes you pause
with wonder.
Giving on the borders of Arizona
and Mexico, as l have for nine years
past, l have had a good opportunity to
see many things that most transient
people would pass by unnoticed. The
longer | stay the more l am impressed
with the unaccountable ways of the
descendants of the Aztecs. The So
ciety lady of the poems, if may speak
of her as such, has way of doing up
her back hair that l have never seen
duplicated anywhere.
ut is no less than to put great clay
crown on the top of her Uranium, in
which the hair is matted, like pigs
bristles, in plaster. This crown
reaches up say eight or nine inches
and looks like great plaster cone.
1t serves a double purpose. Not
only is it worn at evening
parties, but throughout the
day. Indeed, the primary object of
the mud cone was to preserve the
head from the intense heat of the
southern sun. Now, however, it is
worn at evening balls, and no lady
thinks herself recherche and in posi-
lively good form unless she has her
novel crown on. The hair is matted
and twisted and coiled all around in it,
and itjmay be depended on that it can
not come loose and come tumbling
down and cause her any embarass-
ment in company. The longer a cone
is worn the harder it gets, and when it
has reached the age of a month, say.
it is as hard as a brick-bat, and would
have to be smashed to pieces with a
sledge if there were no other way dis
covered. This, however, happily, is
the case.
''The old Aztecs invented. and the
secret has been perpetuated in the
race, peculiar solution compounded
from wild plants which knocks the
plaster topknot to smithereens. It
takes some time to do it, however. ~

WRITERS OF INFLUENCE,

The Newspaper Man as the Unrivaled
Molder of Public Opinion.
The famous writer's of our time are
not those who have made speeches in
Congress; or supplied squared and
compassed' articles for the great
monthlies. The potent writer of to-
day, and he who governs and directs
the thinking and thus the making
OF the country as nodded by popular
opinion, is the newspaper man. No
magazine writer or editor has ever
welded the power of Greeley, OF
Dana, William Cullen Bryant, or Wat
terson, or Curtis, or Halstead. The
restraint put upon a fecund newspaper
writer by rules of essayists and of the
magazines constrains invention, sup
presses vital force A writer who
thinks rapidly and earnestly finds the
fires of genius burning low when he
begins the tedious task of filling ten
Or twenty pages of a magazine.
Thirty years ago the admirable liter
allure of the country was only in the
magazines. For the tasteful and
beautifuls and ornate. cultured taste
then sought books and periodicals,
like the Orion and the Southern Liter
airy Messenger To-day one may find
as admirable specimens of faultless
rhetoric in daily papers, and especial
ly in their special editions, as in
choicest books and most ornate
monthly publications
In fact the purely literary and philo-
sophical monthlies are giving way be-
lore the pressure and power of the
great newspapers, whose best editions
are veritable magazines of choicest lit
erature. The restraint put upon arti-
cles of genius, full of force and inspira-
tion, and ready at moments notice to
discuss any conceivable subject wisely
and tastefully, by the straight-lace
editors of magazines, warps intellect,
restraints its forces and stills fancy to
tremulous repose. No wonder that the
fierce, earnest logic and vigorous SEN
fences of Horace Greeley refused to air
themselves in the covered vehicle OF
thought and eloquence in which the
neat and tidy and scholarly ''litera.
teurs" of Boston aired the delicate
children of their genius. The writer
of the soft, sweet history of the Dutch
Republic could never have figured in
that partisan prize-ring in which Dana
is 'slugger" and Watterson a most
graceful and dangerous acrobat But
the men governing the thinking of
mankind to-day are the great journal
lists, and not the magazinists of the
age and century.
There is no American Macaulay or
Jeffries or Christopher North, and
there will never be. The newspaper
has supplanted the magazine. T.

Mr.. John H. Oberly, a Democrat, who
in several official capacities bad made
an excellent record, was recently re-
moved by President Harrison from the
office of Commissioner of Indian Az
fairs, although his retention was
prayed for by the Indian Rights AS
ISOLATION and by several thousand Re-
publicans and Democrats who were
familiar with the good work he had
done in the Indian Bureau. Mr.. James
L. Morgan was appointed his sue
cessor. The record of the War De-
partment show that Morgan, while
Colonel of the Fourteenth U. S. Col
ored Infantry, was tried in 1885 by a
court-martial and found guilty on
various charges, as follows: OF having
made false charges against a fellow
officer; of having, while custodian of
recommendations for advancement for
himself and a fellow-officer, retained
the latter and forwarded only those
in his own favor, and of having made
false musters for companies in his
regiment to his pecuniary advantage
On these charges, with specifications,
Colonel Morgan was found guilty by
the unanimous verdict of the court and
sentenced to dismissal When this
sentence reached the department head.
quarters it was set aside in the manner
| thus described in the records:
| In the foregoing cases Of Colonel Thomas j.
| Morgan, Fourteenth United States Colored
| infantry the court having found the accused
guilty of the first charge, the violation of the
| fifteenth article OF war, had not authority to
| change the sentence prescribed in that article
for such offeuses, and the failure to conform
to the requirement OF the above article 10
| sentencing the accused is an error fatal to the
proceedings and Judgment of the court so far
| as it relates to the first charge
The requirement of the fifteenth
article of war was that an officer
found guilty of violating it should be
"cashiered,' and thereby utterly dis
abled to have or hold any Office or en-
ployment in the service OF the United
| States.
The New York Times says:
We suppose that 1t will be conceded that tn.
Indian Commissioner ought to be pure and
honest man. That is true, indeed, OF any pub
