.oon no reoic,ng ON the part of the opposition
over the alleged collapse OF this policy there
hos beon no claim on the part OF any Demo-
cr,tic leader that Reciprocity is condemned by
tho American people. Congress has a right 10
assume that the policy of developing American
shining interests and export trade commands
popuIar support. 1t will make serious mis-
take If if negects to enact pending measures

3, co.onerate with the State Department in
accommodating the supreme ends OF continental
policy.
Mr. Depew takes advanced ground in recon-
uendinc unconditional Reciprocity with Can
ada We are not prepared to go all the way
With him. The present tariff discrmlnates
sharply in favor Of American and against "a
madam farm produce, and until the efects OF
the new schedules have been aScertalned by
experience it will be premature to propose UNI
restricted Reciprocity. There can be no pos
s;ble objection to limited and experimental
appIication of the principle. Reciprocal al
yantaces would be derived from the free adj
mission of coal from and into each country.
Pennsylvania would give access to- the Ontario
market and Nova Scotia would be benefited
to a corresponding degree by having Boston
and New-York the chief distributing points
for its COAL This is Senator Sherman's project
and it is worthy of serious constellation. TO
advocate unlimited reciprocity so soon after the
massage of the Mckinley bill is, in our judg-
mont. premature. 1t will be wiser to enter
into arrangements in the first instance for ex-
changing products on equitable terms with those
independent republics of this continent whose
products differ from those of the United states
Otherwise we strongly approve OF Mr. De-
pews recommendations Reciprocity with the
Southern republics is policy which offers the
promise of marked extension of foreign trade
provided efficient measures are adopted for re-
storing the American flag to the seas and de-
veIoping the shipbuilding industry simultane-
ously. Every productive and manufacturing
interest in the United States from ocean to
ocean will be strengthened by this National
policy.

,reator and the upholder of that Agreement is
tho National League, and, therefore, with all
confederation for every other organization, we
INST regard the triumph of the League as
,,;ctory for the best interests of the game itself,
70 not indeed, the actual salvation of the game
from hopeless ruin.
There is no need now of reviewing the causes
Of the war, or the manner in which the cam
naiqn was waged on either side. Doubtless
the rival leaders now regret much of their con-
duct only little less than they regret the
heavy financial losses they have suffered.
doubtless, too cub-ownels and players alike
have learned many valuable lessons through
harsh experience which will lead them in future
to be more jealous of the welfare of the game
and more careful to deserve the favor Of the
public Some have lost what they can never
regain. Some club-owners and managers will
he known no more among the magnates," and
some old-time stars will never again have a
chance to pose on the green diamond for the
nlaudits of the grand stand. But, on the
whole. there is an outlook for better manage
ment and better playing in 1891 than ever be-
fore and if it be fulfilled, we doubt not that
the praise and patronage of the public will be
commensurately great.

4 PLEA FOR RECIPROCITY.

The enthusiasm excited by Mr.. Depews
speech at the Chamber of Commerce dinner
was not an effect of fine Oratory alone. There
may be differences of opinion respecting the
expedency of the tariff legislation of the pres
ent Congress, but the policy OF Reciprocity and
of the expansion of the American export trade
is favored by all the powerful commercial and
mercantile interests represented in the Cham
her, Mr.. Depew's appeal for the development
of American shipping interests and the en-
largement of the foreign market for surplus
products and manufactures was addressed to
a sympathetic audience. 1t will be supported
by the deliberate judgment of this great com
mercial centre. He struck the right chord not
only for an occasion when business men Of all
parties were assembled after 4 controversial
National election, but also for the approaching
session of Congress. As the Chamber of Com
merce, while divided in opinion respecting the
Tariff Act, is wholly in accord with the Reel
erOcty policy, so also tho country which is now
hating between the two judgments in relation
to Protection expressed this month and two
years ago, is prepared to accept without dis
sent practical measures for restoring the com
merca marine and developing the export trade
While it is true that Reciprocity was an
element of the amended Mckinley bill and also
that the Shipping bills have passed one of the
houses of Congress- il would be preposterous
to assume that the verdict of the country in
November was hostile to either branch of this
National policy. The Shipping bills were not
made an issue of the canvass by the press OF
either party Secretary Blaine's Reciprocity
speeches were delivered too late in the can
vass 10 command exclusive attention when the
public mind was preoccupicd with 50 many
other questions; and no combined attack wa,
opened by the opposition upon this policy. NJ
Democratic journal has ventured TO assert that
the country voted against Reciprocity and the
revival OF the commercial marine. There has

B4SEBALL ~ 1890 md IN 1891.


The long and bitter baseball war has prac-
tcally come to an end at last, and none toe
soon In all the history OF American sport
there is no more deplorable chapter than that
which records the battle of the leagues and no
more remarkable example Of the almost fatal
decline of a great National institution. 1t is
entirely within bounds to say that never was
there more general and more genuine public
interest felt in any sport or athletic competition
than in the pennant contests Of 1889; and il
is equally just TO declare that never was any
such topic more wearisome to a disguised pub
lie than the miserable trickery and chickering's
of baseball men in 1890. Another year Of the
rival leagues would have degraded the National
game 50 much that professional Craftsmanship
would seem pure and six-day walking matches
honorable in comparison.
Happily, however, the fight is over, and the
terms OF settlement are such as warrant hope
of the restoration OF baseball to its former high
place in public esteem and VAIN spot i'll public
affection. 1t has long been evident that such
namely, by re-establishing and everywhere
maintaining fnviOabe the so-called National
Agreement. To that Agreement was due the
rehabilitation of the game, years ago, and its
steady progress in public confidence and favor.
To that Agreement has been due the fact that
until the present year the public looked UPON
the annual contests As honest. straightforward
competitions for the pennsnt pennant which
marked Its winners as real champions. The

The victorious Democrats must be beside
themselves if they entertain any serious ex-
pectation of making a successful contest against
Mr. Reed in the next Congress. 1t Is hard to
credit them with such purpose, but 1t Is open
~, albeit indiscreety, avOwed The assertion
is made that money was used to effect Mr.
Reeds re- election There is no improbability
OF the appointment of Democratic committee
next year to make an investigation in the LIST
Maine District, but MIR. Reed, of course, has
nothing to fear His splendid majority OF more
than 4.5OO is solid fact for his detractors
and enemies to butt their heads against, but
it will prove to be as unyielding as well-built
wall OF masonry.
Mayor Grant did surprisingly well in the
appointments which he announced yesterday.
1t gives The TRIBUNE pleasure to,say so. The
selection OF Park Commissioners, and especially
of School Commissioners, was delicate task.
Mr.. Grant has SO performed it as to give salts
faction to all the rght-thinlIing people OF the
city. The retention of Mr.. Frederick w. Devoe
in the Board of Education is particularly COM
mendable. Hardly less So is the appointment
OF Mr. David H. King, whose experience as a

The rights of the lowest bidders for contracts
for public buildings have been upheld by a
decision rendered in Brooklyn by Justice Cullen.
He holds that while officials have the right to
reject bids they must not do so without good
and sufficient reasons. Such power is liable
to grave abuse, because an official who exercises
it may do so arbitrarily and for the purpose OF
favoring the bidders in whom he happens to feel
a special interest. Justice Cullen's decision Is
a sound one on general principles, independent Of
it's application to the case in which it was given

The principal streets of the city have recently
become again the scenes of robberies and other
crimes of violence. The suburban residents who
are at times oppressed by the pity OF their friends
who speak of the dangers of walking on lonely
roads at night, may congratulate themselves thai
their paths do not lie instead along the downtown
streets The self-evident fact that there IS no
danger of being robbed if one is the only person
on the road does not seem to have impressed itself
on every mind. The police, however, under
stand the tendency of criminals to seek the most
frequented streets in search of victims and large
proportion of the detectives and police officers
are assigned 10 duty along the streets which IN
the daytime are crowded with visitors.

Bridget; she's been sewing to-day, and

himself for sleep, but in a few minutes
mamma was recalled to find the little
fellow sitting up in bed, his face puck

thing like a twinkle: however, in his
eyes as he remarked: Mamma. T cot

Dishonest college students are much

more literal-a good deal more honor

that sparsely settled country along the
