Seaman Played With.

Seaman Played With.
Seaman, the first-baseman just signed by
Indianapolis, is said by Arson and other
coed judges to be a first-class player. Last
season he was with the Writings. the
strongest team in the Chicago City League,
and did some remarkable work both in the
field and with the stick. Arson Is trying
to sign O'Brien, second-bascman of the
Writings. to take Pfeffer's place on the
League team. Scanlan weighs close to two
hundred pounds and has a reach which
should prevent anything getting away
from him while covering the base, and
should make him q free hitter.

Guilty with the officers of the Hendricks
Club. who refused them the use
of it's club-room, they went to Omer
Smith. with a proposition to pay so a

Thursday night. Mr.. Smith closed the con-
tract, with the provisO that the
veterans were to release the hall
in case other engagements inter
fered. to which proviso. Mr.. Smith claims,
KOOntZ consented. Last night. when the
little band came together. they were much
incensed to find a party of some forty cou,,
pies Waiting over the floor where they had
expected TO meet and discuss Democracy for
a couple hours. They at once appealed to
Mr.. Smith, who referred them to their con-
tract, but the veterans were inclined TO
disregard any such terms. In order TO get
rid of the matter Mr. Smith re-
funded the rental money. and, open
ing his front door, watched koOntz
and his comrades file out, one by
one. They gathered in a little group on the
courthouse corner, glanced sadly up to the
lighted windows of the hall, and then dis
persed. 1t is not known where they will
turn up next.

there had been but one meeting of the Board

"'WAR CLOUDS"

WAR clouds" are an agency which Euro
pean statesmen cannot well do without.
When new tax is to be laid upon the peO-
pie the war cloud is given a shake, and
made to look especially dark. When the
new tax bill has been carried the war cloud
is folded up and laid away, somewhat as a
theatrical manager puts away scenery that
has served his present purpose. A few
months hence. when new play comes that
requires a similar setting, the old piece will
be touched up. and thus made good as new.
So with the European war cloud. 1t serves
its purpose, and is retired until the Govern
ment thinks the time has come TO impose
new tax upon the people. The last shake
given to the European war cloud was by
the venerable Won Moltke. In speech re-
Gently in support of the German Army Bill

heads Of the German people, and held it
there until the bill was passed When
the war which has hung over our heads
for more than ten years breaks out, he said
in effect its duration and end cannot be
foreseen. l. may be a seven years war,
and may be a thirty years war; woe unto

mighty issues are at stake the money ques-
tiOn becomes a second consideration. This
Is the kind Of talk that has carried Euro
pean Governments along until the cost Of
peace makes war inevitable. The present
peace establishments cannot be maintained
indefinitely, and no leading Power dares to
take the initiative in the work of disarma-
ment. Europe, which prides itself on being
the citadel Of Christianity, is Il vast military

under these circumstances is to the masses
robbed of the comforts which compensate
for its necessary ills. Toll and privation
are the lot Of the great body of the people.
Probably men like Won Moltke, who have
been trained to war and to the settlement
of disputes By the sword. perceive no other
way to hold the people in subsection. Per-
haps there IS no other way. Perhaps the
ruling classes do not want that another way
should be found. The result of their policy
is 10 make peace so destructive that war
will be welcomed as a relief. As Won
Mo!tke says, hundreds of thousands of
human lives will be sacrificed, but then
lives are being sacrificed anyway. Death

MERELY a PRETEXT.

A member OF the French Senate has at
last declared that the prohibition of Ameri-
can pork on the ground Of alleged unhealthi-
ness is merely a pretext. Having cleared
away this rubbish it is now in order for the
French Government TO protect French farm
ers by means Of duties on foreign bread
stuffs and meats. This, it appears, they
have decided TO do. There is no more hos
tility to the United States in that policy
than there is hostility to France in the
American protective policy. The thing we
had to complain of was that our products
we're given bad name as pretext for eX-
clusion. The United States must expect
that European nations will protect such of
their industries as cannot compete with
kindred industries in this country. Our
large territory and cheap land enable US to
produce grain and meats at lower cost than
these products can be offered at in Europe.
The people of the Uuiied States will nat
urally ask themselves whether it is better
to give Europe free market for its manu-
featured goods in exchange for a free mar
ket for our agricultural products or TO con-
unue our present policy Of protection. One
thing Is certain: With free markets we
should continue to sell raw material and to
buy finished goods. There is no instance
in the worlds recent history Of a nation
having prosDered relatively by this ex-
change. The Southern States of America
had, previous to 1860, the most valuable
raw product known to commerce. Cotton
was thought the world over to be king
There was no cotton grown that could be
compared in fiber to the cotton Of the South
ern States. But the South, with an abund-
ance of slave labor, did not get rich grow
ing cotton. Barren New England, which
converted the raw cotton of the South into
finished goods and sold the goods to the
South, outstripped the South in substantial
prosperity. Thanks to protective tariff the
United States mas passed the point of dan
ger from the closing Of foreign markets
against US. We already consume so large
a proportion of all the breadstutfs and meat
We produce that even with free markets we
should soon have little of these products to
export. Duty or no duty, one year with
another, Europe needs and will take about
all the surplus grain we can produce. 1t is
well, therefore, that France should impose
duty on American grain and American
pork, instead of pretending 10 exclude por
for reasons known to be false.

ADVICE FROM ABROAD.

A gentleman who has travelled much in
California and is now in New York attrib-
utes what he terms the wet blanket thrown
upon wine culture to q few men and
women who oppose the use OF wine Ell
ropeans who have come TO this country to
engage in the wine business cannot under
stand why any portion of the people should
condemn the use of wine. European Gov
ernments are, says our correspondent,
there known to assist wine-growers, but
when wine-growers come to this country
they find themselves regarded somewhat in
the light of criminals. Our correspondent
does not distinguish with sufficient accur-
aey between a few persons and a Govern
ment. In free country those who oppose
the use of any kind of stimulating DeYer-
ages cannot be put down by law. They
have a right to have their say. There is no
State in the Union where there is less re-
straint upon the use of wine than in Calf
fornia. 1t is not only legal but respectable.
No man or women loses caste by the mOder-
ate use of wine. The fact is recognized
also that in wine-growing countries there
are fewer signs of excessive indulgence
than in communities that rely mostly on
distilled liquors for stimulant The advice
that the good people of San Francisco drop
whisky and drink the product of our vint-
ages is good and is being followed. Now
that our wines have received foreign sane
ton natives will not be ashamed to drink
them,
