1t strikes us that the leaders in the
great Alliance movement are deter
mined to make a political party of
their organization, Everything points
that way just now, and there are not
Il few hitherto solid Democrats and
Republicans in Tennessee who have
about made up their minds to go
along with the procession. How all
this will end remains to be SEEM

1t may end in more or less trouble
for one or both of the old political
parties, but it will also end in a mis-
cradle failure of the alliance to accom-
plish any of the good for the farmers
it started out Ostensibly to do.

porters, whose work is not very arduous as
a rule. In the event of a speech by men
like Gladstone or Lord Salisbury from six
to eight men are detailed to report it, and
their ''copy"is all in by the time the speech
Is delivered. Neither the typewriter nor
the monograph has yet been called in to
assist in reporting or transcribing. Some
eminent men have graduated from the re-
porters' gallery of the house of commons.
Charles Dickens was a parliamentary
hand, and Mr.. Lucy, the able editor-in-
chief Of The Daily News, began as a re-
porter on that paper.

in 1887 with the Leavenworth (Kan.) club.
Then followed engagements with the fol-
lowing clubs in the order named: Hosk-
ings, Birmingham, Ala, Kansas City,
Mo-. and St. Joseph, Mo. About the mid
die of last season the Denver club paid a
high figure to the St. Joe management
for his release, and he finished the season
with the Mountainous. This year he is
again in the ranks of the Denver nine.
Curtis, though a first class man in all de-
partments of the game, has earned his
great reputation with the "stick." He is
a batsman Of the first water, and a sure
u getter. The indications at the present
time point to the likelihood of his being at
the head of the list among the batting
talent of the Western association when
the season of 1890 draws to a close. His
batting during the last three seasons has
been of a uniformly high order, as the fol-
lowing figures show:
In 1887 his average was 800; in 1888, .341;
in 1889, .233, and this year he is on top
with the excellent average of $40. He is
also well up among the center fielders with
1904.

Fortunes Made on the Stage.

Joe Jefferson is credited with half a mill
ion, and J.. K. Emmett with close upon
half as much. James O'Neil and Oliver
Byron are rated at about $500, 900 each, and
so are Sol Smith Russell and Nate Sails
bury. Davis Diamond Charley and Tony
Pastor can each draw a check worth $780,
600, with Seaman and Gus Williams not
far behind. Ada Rehan is said to nave a
cool $780, 900 sailed down, and Agnes
Booth as much more. Modjeska and
Mary Anderson represent each twice
that sum-, while Fannie Davenport
and Kate Claxton can certainly show $751;
900 apiece. Janauschek is poor, but Lolita
has $780, 900, and Maggie Mitchell enough
to exc out u comfortable existence. Irving
made more money in America than did Sara
Bernhardt, and Salvini very much more
than Ristori. Denman Thompson has
coined money with his "Old Homestead"
but it is believed that Neil Burgess has the
better bank account.

columns of the most readable matter
printed in England; indeed, his letters are
perfect pen pictures Of life in the gay me
tropolis, and are comparable in point of
attractivencss to the work of the best Jour
nalists In America.
Men of note like Edwin Arnold, De Bio
WITT and George Augustus Sala are said to
earn fabulous sums. Arnold is at present
writing to The Telegraph from Japan, and
Sala has written a daily editorial for the
same paper for twenty years, besides con-
tributing largely to periodical literature.
The Times has the largest staff of article
writer's of any journal in the world. A
number who have made their mark in diff
ferent branches of law and science have
retainers of from $1,000 to s. 900 year,
and receive $50 for each article they are
called upon to contribute. War CORE
spondents and special commissioners
men who do the descriptive work-receive
from $4,000 to $4,000 per annum Arch
ibald Forbes had the latter sum, with
carte blanche as to expenses, when he
was with The Daily News. After his brill
liant work during the war between Russia
and Turkey the proprietors presented him
with a check for $40, OOO.in addition to his
salary. From s25 to $50 per column is the
remuneration of foreign correspondents
not on the salary list of the leading news
papers. Thu rates paid by the principal
journals of the provinces are about one
third less all round.
London reporters receive from $50 to $50
per week; in the provinces juniors get
from SIS to SO, second and third hands
from SIS to $25, and chiefs of staff from &25
TO $40. The London press receives manifold
reports of the transactions of the minor
courts, accidents, fires, etc., and pays three
and tour cents per line for what is pub
lished. The Times employs several young
barristers to make reports of the proceed
ings Of the higher courts. When cases Of
unusual public interest are on shorthand
reporters are engaged to furnish verbatim
accounts.
Compositors work on "piece," and earn
in London from S12 to s25 a week, accord
ing to ability and luck in "takes." Like
other English workmen, they do not over
exert themselves. A "slogger," or one
who Is continually on the rush to make a
''string," is frowned upon by the chapel.
They get their beer or gin at regular inter-
walls during the night, the chapel paying a
man to wait upon them in this respect.
Time hands get from SIS to $40 a week. In
certain provincial towns time wages is
paid, usually sl0.50 per week of ifty-two
hours. Proofreaders receive from $40 to
s25 a week. JOHN w. PosTGATE

Remington is a tribe heavy for a sprinter,
but despite this fact and the fact that he
is a slow starter he works up a rafting
gait when he once gets under Roadway
and usually surprises his fellow contest
ants at the finish. In build he Is said to
resemble the late Harry johnson when
that noted Splinter first began running.
Remington is a graceful performer and
never loses his head. His distances are
from fifty yards to a quarter of a mile.
he has run a surprisingly great number
of dead heats with the best amateur
%sprinters, and has on several occasions de-
feated ex-Champion Fred Westing.

That there are not numerous corrections
to be made by political speakers, who are
keenly sensitive to errors of statement,
shows that the English reporter, however
deficient he may be in other respects, can
be relied upon for the greatest accuracy in
reporting the utteranoes of public men.
Even when condensed work is required
full shorthand notes are taken. Thick
marks are made by the side Of important
sentences. with the result that nothing
material is omitted ever If Il speech has to
be cut down a half Or two-thirds.
Almost every prominent newspaper in
England is generous in its dealings with
its staff. Editors receive annual vacations
OF from one month to three, reporters nave
holidays of from two weeks to four, and
the compositors, pressmen and stereotype
ers are granted at least q week in the year
with full pay. Then there is a system of
pensions for old servants in every depart
ment. Englishmen do not change their
situations much. 1t is no
thing to find reporters who have been con-
nected with the same journal for thirty or
forty years. When they reach the retiring
age in some offices they receive a third or
half their salary for life. Competitors fire.
quently step in for pensions after long SER
vice.
The 'printer," as the foreman of a Lon
don daily is called, is a very important per-
sonage, and corresponds in some respects
to our night editor. The "make up' is
completely in his hands. He keeps careful
track of the copy, and his word goes a long
way with the sub-editor as to what shall or
snail not run near press time. His men are
the pick of the craft. Each one acquires
considerable editorial ability; he is not a
slavish follower Of copy" but reads for
the sense, and is on the alert for plumbers
OF omission or commission. His proofs are
remarkably clean, and the printer keeps
him up to the highest notch of perfection.
Some of the printers are a little too auto
cratic and exacting. One on The Standard
some years ago forbade the use of slugs to
protect the matter after dumping. This
rule developed exceptional steadiness of
nerve in the chapel, since the slightest
shakiness was disastrous in the small
hours when the "takes" ran about five
lines each.
The identity of writers is carefully con-
cealed by English journals. Even the
names of the editors are not known out
side the profession. 1t is always The
Times, The Telegraph, The Standard that
addresses the public, and in no other coun-
try is the editorial eve" so powerful. Many
of the minor correspondents are as ignorant
of the personality of the managers of the
papers as the readers. They deal with The
Standard, The Daily News, or The Times.
The pay for newspaper work varies with
the class Of journal served. In Londons s., 600
a year is easily earned by a leader writer,
and there are several who run as high as
$4,000. Editors-in-chief receive from s15,-
600 to $4,000. The Telegraph pays it's Paris
correspondent sl2,50 and expenses. He is
a very able writer, and sends daily two

MALCOLM w. FORD'S FORECAST,

The Well Known Athlete Describes the
Events and the Entries and Gives His
Views as to the Probable victors in the
Annual Amateur Championship Games,
The amateur championship games at
Analostan island, Washington, D. c., Oct.
II, will be an unusually important event
In the world of athletics. There will be
nineteen events on the programme, includ-
ing six distances at fiat running, two at
hurdle racing, two at walking, one at BIZ
cycling, three at weight throwing, three
at jumping and two at tug of war. The
great rivalry among the most prominent
athletic clubs Of the United States will be
settled for the ensuing year on this day,
and these organizations are leaving no
stone unturned to strengthen their teams.
In the 100 and 220 yards runs the most
prominent contestants will be Luther Cary,
Fred Westing, Mortimer Remington, of
the Manhattan Athletic club; John Owen,
Jr., the present champion at these two dis
tances, and Harry Jewett, of the Detroit
Athletic club, and perhaps G. H. Sheriff.,
of the New York Athletic club. These are
the fastest men in the United States, and
the championship at both these distances

that Gary, Owen and Jewett nave the best
chance of coming to the front.
Remington and j. S. Roddy, of the Man
hattans, and w c. Downs and W. c. Dohm,
of the New York Athletic club, are the
most formidable contestants in the 40
yards class. The chances are that either
Downs or Remington will be the victor.
These same men, with George S.. Tracey, of
Halifax, and J. W. Moffat, of the Montreal
Amateur Athletic club, will combat for
honors in the $50 yards run. Tracey won
the American championship at this event
In 1887, and has not competed for the title
since. Tracey, Moffat, Downs and Dohm
will battle the iercest for the event this
year.
The n mile run will produce a great
field of distance runners. A. B. George,
I. P. Connect, W. Mccarthy and F. M.
Carr, of the Manhattan Athletic club; W.
d. Day, the cross country champion, and
Ernest Hjertberg, of the New Jersey Ath-
!etic club, and perhaps E. c.. Carter, of the
New York Athletic club, will be the best
men in it, although tho latter may be de-
barred from entering on account of his be-
ing the paid handicapped of the A. A. U.
1t is freely predicted that the best Ameri.

several of the contestants. The same men,

HI Won the $4,000 Flower City Stakes.

One of the very promising ~trotters the
present season has rapidly brought to the
front is Keno E. He began the season
with no blare of trumpets, and as his pre-
vious time had only been $40 his owner,
Peter Olinger, of Dubuque, Ia, even was
amazed at the manner in which Keno F.
pared down his record. In June, at Du-
buque, he Won the 2:S7 class in straight
heats, his best time being 2:2S. At Cedar
Rapids he knocked off three-quarters of a
second more, and at Minneapolis, in July,
he swept everything before him by devel-
oping a 2:21I gait.
A week later he defeated Jessie Gaines
at Hamline by harder work and came
away with a still lower record of 2:10A.

At Rochester Keno F. met a field of crack
horses including Simmocolon, Leopard
Rose, Pixley and Suisun for the $40, 900
Flower City stakes, and trotted the Doodle
into the pockets of Fl. L. and F. D. Stout.
At Washington Park, during the north
western breeders meeting, Keno F. low
cred his record to 2:17, but at Independence
he had to lower his colors to Mary Mar

entries. These four men are so evenly
matched that few dare conjecture which
will win. The running broad jump will
be almost as close. The best competitors
will be Ernest s. Ramsdell, of the Athletic
club of the Schuylkill navy; W. Halpin,
of the New Jersey Athletic club; A. F.

News gathering, as it is understood and
practiced in America, is tabooed in En-
glish journalism. Reporters work In
restricted paths. They cannot interview
and must not anticipate anything in the
way of news. If Bob Smith, after q long
career of brutality, is at last arrested for
beating his wife, the bare fact may be
stated, but the details of the assault must
not be given until they are set forth off,

BISMARCK, May 19.-lSpecial. THE most
brutal and bloodthirsty prize fight eve,
witnessed in the northwest furnished Sun
day amusement for large audience on the
Indian reservation below Bismarck yester-
day forenoon. The principals were big
Hollander named Hallock and little pri-
vate soldier known as Ambrosia, who en-
listed in the army nine months ago and
who has been discovered to be none other
than George Siddons. we'll known as a
feather-weight pugilist, who has fought and
won battles with such notables as '.Spider''
Weir and Tommy Warren. Siddons' object
in joining the army is mystery. Some
doubt was expressed whether it was Sid
dons, but local sports say Ambrosia is the
original Siddons under an assumed name.
Seventy-nine bloody rounds were fought,
the fight being awarded to Siddons in the
last round by a palpable foul committed by
Hallock, who, in his rage, jumped onto
Siddons's prostrate form. Both men were
pounded into jelly. Their faces were
quivering masses of unrecognizable flesh.
Hallock and Siddons appeared in the ring
weighing 17O and 120 pounds respectively.
The sight was novel one-a little man
dancing around big savage brute, ever
and anon getting in sharp blow
and hastily scampering out of
harms way. As far as science
was concerned Hallock was no match for
Siddons, who exhibited great cleverness in
avoiding punishment by lodging Hallock's
vicious onslaughts.
Hallock expected to win by brute force.
The contest resemblad n foot raca till nv,
to the last few rounds, when both got into
close quarters and fought furiously. Blood
flowed freely. Two fouls were claimed on
each side, but none allowed until Hallock
lost his head and committed the act which
lost him the fight. The stakes were $50
side.
