THE DANGERS or SLAVERY.
In the collection Is a most interesting
letter from Washington 10 Lawrence
Lewis. inviting him TO come and live at
Mount Vernon, 10 which he speaks most
prophetically about the danger Of
slavery. In this letter. written In Au-
gust, 1897, he says:
Your letter Of the 24th instant has
been received, and / am sorry 10 hear OF
the loss Of your servant but Il Il my
opinion these elopments will be much
more before they are less frequent, aud
that the persons making them shouli
BeyeT be retained II they are discovered
as they are sure 10 COntaminate aud dis
content others. / wish from my soul
that the Legislature of this State could
see the policy Of the gradual abolition
Of slavery. II might prevent much
future mischief"
Washington evidently thought thath
might sgain be pressed into the publ
service, from which he had retired bu
q few months before, for in this sam
letter he goes on 10 say:
II have no hesitation 10 declaring
that Il is my wish 10 place my estate, in
this country, on a new establishment,
thereby bringing II into so narrow a
compass as not OnlY % supeTsede tue
necessity Of q manager but % make
the management Of what / retain IN my
own hands an agreeable and healthy
amusement 10 look after myself If 1
should not be again called into the pub
lie service Of the country.

WHAT THE BROTHERHOOD MEN THINK OF 1T
WARDS CASE TO COME UP AGAIN.
The papers In the suit Of the Metropolitan EAhibN
tlon Company against William Ewing. last years
captain OF the New lork League baseball team, were
filed Yesterday In the United states Circuit Court
Copies Of them had been served on Ewing on Wedne'
day. The suit Is in equity to restrain Ewing from
playing with any other team than tho Nc"-IorK
National League one. The complaint Is voluD nous
and Is accompanied by equally long afhdaYit by
President John T.. Day. who says that Ewing Is tho
most popular and successful catcher In tie United
States and that II is necessary TO have popular and
skilfuI play ,rs attract visitors TO the games The
contract with Ewing Ior the Of 1882 containing
the reserve clause, Is annexed TO the complaint
The case will be argued March T. before one Of the
CircuA judges.
The Brotherhood men look upon the suits against
Ward and Ewing a merely " bluffs on the part or
the League, made merely TO hArass the players and
interfere with the proposed trips Of their clubs to the
south. Mr. Day yesterday referred all reporters 10
George +. buy sters, tho attorney OF tho club " IN
regard to Mr. Wards own case said Mr. Duysters.
IL seems that the players have been I'M

Exhibition Company did have a contract with Ward,
and the only question he decided whether the case

caused II entirely satisfactory 10 u. lis case
