Senatorial elections were held in four States
yesterday. Mr. Hoar was reelected in Massa-
cbusetts and MIR. Frye in Maine. In Colorado
Edward o. Wolcott was elected to succeed
Senator Bowen, and in Delaware the struggle
In caucus resulted in the choice Of Anthony
Higgins, who will take the place Of Eli Sauls-
bury. Thus two excellent men are returned
TO places they have long filled with honor, and
two men Of promise have opened to them OPP
portunities for usefulness and distinction.
The abandonment of the International Ma
rine Conference is to be regretted. The need
Of such gathering has long been apparent, and
numerous good results were reasonably looked
for England is responsible for the with
drawal of the invitations, and her course is
not ono that can be commended. The idea
seems to have prevailed in the British Foreign
Office that the United States would get too
much credit il the conference was held here.
AS the sole purpose was to make travel at sea
safer Great Britain's position Is childish and
indefensible.
The Court Of Appeals has easily brushed
aside the false pretences on which the Metro
poIitan Transit Company sought to build an
elevated railroad through Broadway. False
pretences they were in truth, since the COM
pany's charter gave it no right to this street.
The right to build branch to the Grand Cen
trail Station was granted, however, and on the
strength of this the claim that "branch'
could be built in Broadway from Bowling
Green to PROFESSIONALS. was set up. Prob
ably few more absurd claims can be found in
the history of railroading."
Judge Tuley's decision in the case of the
Chicago Arbater Bund will attract notice less
from the fact that ii is in favor Of the An
srohists than from the great emphasis which
he lays on the right Of free speech and peace
able assemblage. No Injunction against the
police is granted, but the Judge strongly con-
dennis the authority assumed by them to de-

PROFESSOR CLARKSON, OF HARVARD.
Professor John ClarlSson, who has won world
wide fame as pitcher OF the Boston baseball nine'
has taken his place. IL is announced. In the Faculty
NJ Harvard University, and will devote himself for
the next few months 20 teaching the youth of that
venerable institution Of learning how TO play ball
ms well as the art is practised in New-Eiaven or
Princeton.
Professor Clarlxson may not know much about
the aorist tense as does Professor w. W. Goodwin,
or as much about the Latin subIunctive as does
Professor Grecnough. or as much about Chaucer as
does Professor Francis J. Child. or as much about
quaternions as does Professor White, or as much
about correct and elegant literary style as does
Professor A. s. Hill, or as much about the influence
of ST. Marks Church upon modern taste as does
Professor Charles Eliot Norton. But this thing
can be safely said That he knows more-vastly
more-about the art of pitching. batting and neld-
ing IN the great National game of baseball than
do all Of these Swans taken together.
Hence IL is well that Professor Clarkson should
appreciate the dignity of HIS position and the
tent of his influence. His electives sure TO be
popular; more popular, il that were possible than
what are commonly known as the " soft courses,
viz Italian / and III. IL is understood that Pro
fessor ClarlSson- rightly concevng that the game
Of baseball, IL is played today is won by
scientific batting has given his principal course
this title: The Outer and the Inner Curve and
the Drop Ball, in Theory and In Practice" Later
IN the season he will lecture on The Art OF Sacri-
flee Batting" Running Bases" and The Science
OF Fielding using Professor John Wards treatise
as a supplementary textbook
/ A beginning has thus been made in bringing Har-
ward University in line with the advanced thought
Of the age the subject Of athletic sports: which
is peculiarly In harmony with the Greek ideal
The principle acknowledged, there is reason to be-
lleye that further concessions will be made to the
spirit Of the present epoch Who knows but that
the time may come before the lapse of many years
when Professor ClarlSson will have as his confreres
in the august meetings of the Faculty, Professor
John L. Sullivan, in the Chair OF the Art of Self
Defence Professor DclI7 Sears, in the Chair OF
Applied Lawn Tennis; and Professor Edward
Burgess in the Chair of Yacht Building and Yacht
Sailing? A great future is before Harvard II she

The reelection of Senator Hoar is not only
deserved tribute TO an able and faithful repre-
sentative. but Is In tho line Of Massachusetts ira
ditions This will be Mr.. Hoars third consecu-
tive term. and on March 4, sos, he will have
served eighteen years. Mr. Dawes is already
in his third term. and he will reach the end of
eighteen years service four years hence. Henry
Wilson had served exactly eighteen years when
he passed TO the Vice-Presdent's chair and
Charles Sumner had. at the time of his death,
served twenty-three years, and in one more year
would have filled out four complete terms.
Webster's service in the Senate was only eighteen
years, and was divided into two periods of four
teen and four years respectively. The seniors
OF the present Senate are the two representa-
tiyes OF Vermont Messrs Edmunds and Morrill,,
who will have served by March twenty-three
and twenty-five years respectively. and who have
therefore almost completed four terms each. This

luctancc in undertaking this mpor-

something towards promoting tho

pressing thc sentiments Of one who
has been directly interested in farm
ing all his life and who has endoayor-
ed 10 obtain the views Of intelligent
farmers, this work is modestly under
taken, trusting thot the brethren will
be charitable in their criticisms,
May the time soon come when there
will be harmony and cooperation
among the producers Of the wealth Of
the country, when q more just distri-
button oftbo products Of labor shall
have caused the elevation Of the toll
ing masses to a better condition mon
tally, morally, socially and financially,
when poverty and crime shall be
greatly diminished, society freed from
the aristocracy of wealth, and intelli-
gonce, integrity and industry be the
pass word into good society.
Tho accomplishment Of tho grand
work before us requires, first, the
united, harmonious, vigorous and per-
sevoring efforts Of all concerned. Sec
ond, that truth and justice be the
foundation upon which we build, such
wisdom prevailing that the labor Of
each successive day and year add to
continuous development till the
complete structure in all it's strength
and beauty crowns our efforts, the
joy and pride Of tho builders and the
admiration OF the world.
The present condition Of the pro
ducing classes financial and otherwise
should be sufficient to cause vigorous
action; the oyerworked farmers sell

cost Of production tosthe speculatol

rank which isproperly theirs depends
largely upon the enactment and en-
iorcement Of suitable and proper
laws We can hardly expect to ac-
complish this without acting upon a
fundamental principle common 10
both the knights Of Labor and the
Farmers Alliance, viz; tho education
Of the masses, This education can
best be secured by cooperation, by
organizing, and discussing all ques-
tions Of common interest with q view
to uniting on q basis Of truth when
discovered. The founders Of the AL

as Che first plank in their platform Of ,
principles forcsoeing the difficulty Of
uniting tho MASSES having such di.
versity Of employments, personal in
terests, tastes and preiudiccs, laid
down this second plank
viz; in things essential, unity, in all
things, charity" Here we believe to
be the key TO success in our efforts
A grand union Of all in all thingsadA
mitted to DO for tho common good and
a throwing of the mantle Of charity
over our discussion Of the questions
in which our ignorance, selhshness,
or projudicos prevent our agreeing.
Only by acting on this principle can
we hope to speedily and satisfactorily
solve the social and political questions
Of the day. The proper application
Of these principles would remove the
difficulties from the questions Of land
labor, capital, transportation currency
interest, tariff, etc, The industrial
classes being so greatly in the major
ity, the carrying out Of these two
principles would enable them to con-
troll the entire political action of tho
country; but it is aquestion whether
the people who make up q great part
Of the old political parties, and who
permit bribery, fraud and other cor
rupt practices from the primaries up,
could, at present. establish a new par
ty that would bring about such a re-
form us would accomplish tho desired
results.
To overcome tho difficulties before
them those enlisted in our grand cause
should beendowed with an abundance
of patience, perseverance, and pluck,
and have nm abiding faith in the final
triumph Of truth.
Truth crushed to earth will rise
again; the eternal years Of God arc
hers" Let us not forget that truth
, and justice must be the basis on which
we buildi Chat the time is past for sot-
Ting questions Of right and wrong by

a simple method of keeping correct timo
where ncccss TO standard time Is inconvenient
is thus explained: Select two fixed points for
range of observation. II a westerly win
can DO chosen which fnces my building any
where moro than twenty-five to thirty feet
distant, we have rs good n post of observation
rs we can desire. Drive n nail or stick a pin
into tho window Jamb; or, if anything moro
substantial is wanted, fix a thin piece of
metal with n very small hole in it to sight
through, in any convenient place, so TINT you
can observe tho time any star sets or sinks
below the roof Of tho adjacent building, or
whatever may DO chosen as the more remote
sight. Then choose some well defined star,
tho brighter tho better, and with your time
piece set right ito start with observe tho
time IL passes tho range of your sights. Tho
exnct time, rs well also Us tho dato of the OBJ
%servntion, should DO recorded, then, to find
out mt any subsequent tino how much your
watch hns varied from correct time, observe
the same star, and r~ecollcct TINT it sets just
o minute and %. o seconds earlier on any
given night thnn it lid the preceding night. 4
Thus, II for our first observation was taken
some night when tho star SGT at 0 hours, 10
minutes and % seconds, and at our second
observation, taken just ono week later, 1t set
Mt s hours, A minutes and 90 seconds, we
would know that our watch had kept correct
time. If it had set ut s hours, As minutes and
90 seconds, We would know that our watch or
clock had lost two minutes during tho week.
And similarly for any other variation. If tho
time Mt which 1t had set had been s hours, 40
minutes and 80 seconds, We should SEQ that
our watch hnd gained two minutes, and so
on. II the location of our sights admits of it
we should select n star 90 degs., as nearly us
possible, from tho pole star, for its apparent
motion will DO greater than thnt of one near
the pole, and the liability of error will be
