Hereafter the umpire must invaria-
bly, he addressed as "Mr. Umpire" by
the players.
A club must resume play one min
ute after an umpire orders a Kick to
cease, or forfeit the game. The old
rule gave five minutes.
A double play cannot be made when

The names OF two substitute play

score card. and these players may be
substituted at any time during the
game, even during an inning.
If the umpire is struck by ball
thrown or held by the catcher in the
act of preventing a runner from ad-
vancing. the runner must return to
the base from which he started.
A player is now prohibited from in
tentionally sOiling the new or alter
nate balls WI ch during the game

Jeff. Davis on the Tariff.
| The Tndarendant.
Jefferson Davis, the ex-president
of the defunct confederacy, who has
passed the eighty-first year of his
age. has notified the public that he
is yet alive by publishing an article in
Relford's Magazine entitled IA Con-
stitutional Tariff" The article is
dull and heavy, and shows that he
has for the most part lost the mental

| The point which he seeks to esta b.
lish is that a tariff which levies dut-

United States. This is one of the
hroken-wind-d positions Of the Free
Traders What jefferson Davis
thinks on this subject, or any other,
is matter of but little consequence

Inc matte of fact IS that COngre 8,
during the whole history OF the Gov

ing power, levied tariff duties ON inn

been before it involving the subjecI

ers. This construction settles til,
question unless the Supreme Cour
of the United States should revers,
it by positive ana express decision
which it is not likely to do.
