STILL IN THE AIR.
The Talk About Washington's Base
Ball Prospects.

/ There is no new light to be shed on the
I base ball situation. Mr.. Hewett reiterates the
announcement that he will play league ball
and there are many of his friends who think
that this will be the case, while there Just as
many more people, both in and out of his
circle of friends, who fear that the long sought
for combination may be found by the league
and that Washington will be dropped. 1t is to
be remembered that Mr.. Hewett could have
avoided all of this uncertainty had he
taken a similar stand to that of Mr. Brush and
absolutely refused to sell. The league then
would have been powerless for there is in ex-
istence an agreement signed at the time of the
admission of Brooklyn and Cincinnati stipu-
latIng that neither Washington nor Indianapo-
lis should be forced out against their will
NOTHING FROM THE WEST.
Nothing has been heard from Cleveland or
Pittsburg for couple Of days and it begins to
look to the enthusiasts here as though
the proposed deal had been abandoned
But base ball men are like microbes in
some ways. They have habit Of
hitting about invisibly and suddenly appearing
with startling results when one least expects to
see them. The chances are that the manipu-
lators of the scheme are not letting the grass
grow under their feet but are doing their best
to bring about the desired change under the
surface.
A dispatch from indianapolis says that while
Mr. Brush was away from home he obtained
promises from Nlmick of Pittsburg and Robin
son OF Cleveland to stand by him and Hewett

FIGHTING THE BROTHERHOOD.
The arguments in the suit brought by John
b. Day against Buck Ewing were heard by
Judge Wallace in New York yesterday. Geo.
F. Duysters presented the side of the New York
club and Judge Bacon that of the defendant.
1t was thought that Judge Wallace. who re-
served his decision. leaned slightly toward the
league side of the case in his remarks during
the hearing

THE MESSAGE AND AGRiCULT-
URE.
fDes Moines Register

President Harrison's message, given
TO congress last Monday, is one of es-
pecial interest 10 the farmers. IL shows
an advancement OF the agricultural in
terests almost unequaled. With capa-
BILE secretary of the department of agri-
culture, these large and important in
terests are for the first time in the his
tory of the country receiving adequate
attention at the hands of the administra-
tion to the full extent of the law. Speak
ing of the report OF Secretary Rusk. the
president says that IL is worthy of cs-
pecial attention in view of the fact that
the past year has been one of unusual
agitation and organization among the
farmers, looking to an increase in the
profits of their business. He commends
the secretary of agriculture for his zeal
and industry i'm promoting the best in-
tests Of the farmers.
The message calls attention 10 the re-
markable and very gratifying advance
in the price of farm products. The price
of wheat advanced from 81 cents i'm De-
tober. 1889, 10 Sl.0Osl in October, 1890;
corn from 81 cents 10 50l4; oats from
1914 To 43 cents, and barley from 90 to
80 cents Meats also showed an i'm
crease, while the export trade in live
animals and fowls shows a very large
increase. Nearly 100000 more cattle
and A., 900 more hogs were exported in
1890 than in 1889. The total exports of
live animals and fowls for the year was
S33, 900, 900. an increase of $1,000, 900.
The exports of beef and pork products.
as well as dairy, were also largely in
creased. The exports of butter alone
during the year were almost double, ad-
vancing from r., 504, 05S pounds in 1889
TO 29,7iS, 042 pounds in 1890. This in
crease i'm trade, says President Harrison.
has been helpful 10 the farmers. But
the administration by continuous efforts
will further and very largely increase
these figures by bringing into full oper-
alton the system Of inspection and sani-
tary suppression provided for in recent
legislation.
The message speaks of the beet sugar
industry as being beyond the experiment
tai stage and congratuates the farmers
upon the fact that another field crop is
thus added 10 the list. The concurrence
of the secretary of the treasury has been
given To the recommendation that the
department OF agriculture be entrusted
with the supervision, provided by the
tariff law, of the manufacture of domeS-
tic sugar. In this way the department
is given increased opportunities to labor
for the welfare and advancement of the
farming interests of the country.
The space and attention given 10 the
agricultural department shows on the
part of the president an adequate recog-
milton of the agricultural interests of the
country. The past year has been one of
renewed interest in agriculture and a
marked restoration of the influence of
farmers i'm national affairs. With Sec
rotary Rusk presiding over agriculture
at the national capital the farmers in
tcrest will receive proper care.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1890-12-10

when IL comes to superintendent. IL made
at all. would increase the republican
vote for president at least twenty elect
ors over what IL would be under the ap.
portionmcnt OF 1880. There is no posi-
Bile way To cvade the practical operation
OF a new apportionment except by post
poning IL until after the next presiden-
tial election, just as the admission of the
new states was postponed until after the
last presidential election. II such post
pOnement can be tided over this winter
IL will be easy enough thereafter, for
the next house OF representatives will be
democratic.
There is another difference between
supervision and apportionment; some re-
publicans are opposed 10 trying 10 secure
honest elections at the south by national
Intervention. They do not think IL can
be done. The number is small. and even
that little band Of opponents might defer
20 the judgment of the majority, espe-
cially, in view of the very positive lam
guage Of the last national republican
convention. In the matter of apportion-
ment there will be no two opinions I'm re-
publican circles, provided only the bill
does not cut down the present represen-
increase that of most. Every republican
can be relied upon To sincerely support
the measure, assuming that il shall not
be open TO the objection just alluded TO,
and which can be easily obviated.
Ii is an open question how far con-
gress can go in preventing gerryman-
dering. 1t has the constitutional au-
thority necessary to the prohibition of it,
~ 10 10, ar..Ia 20 H.
effective? 1t was provided by the last
apportionment that district should be
contiguous. One member of the census
committee, Mr.. Taylor, of Ohio. proposes
that some provision shall be made as to
squareness and majority, but no such
regulations could be made without leav-
ing large discretionary latitude for state
legislatures. About all that could be
done would be to copy the anti-gerry-
mander provision of our Illinois state
constitution. which reads: Senatorial
districts shall be formed of
contiguous compact territory
bounded by county lines,
and contain, as nearly as practicable, an
equal number of inhabitants. Very
little account can be taken in the con
greSsional act of party majortes, es-
pecially as the returns of 1890 would not
be much Of a guide for the politics of the
decade. Compact" should he added TO
contiguous" and that is about all that
could be done in that line.
No time should be lost over either bill
in balancing the pros and cons of second
airy details. If it will only pass these
two bills this congress will go into his
tory distinguished as having eXcelled all
its predecessors in the honorable re-
demptiou of the pledges on which ma
jorty of its members were elected.

TWO IMPORTANT BILLS.
lchicapo Inter.ocean.

There are two bills Of overshadowing
Importance, the election bill, which has
passed the house, and is pending in the
senate, and the apportionment bill,
which has not been framed yet, and
from the nature Of the case could not be
until the total population of the United
States had been definitely determined. II
Is not easy TO discriminate between the
two as to relative Importance. At first
one would say that the former was quite
overshadowing. IL embodies great
principle, one vital TO self government,
while the latter relates TO detail Of
procedure temporary in character. An
apportionment bill has never before been
made an issue between the two parties.
IL is perfectly obvious that the demo-
Gratis care much more about the appor-
ti0nment than they do about the election
bill. When they speak without reserve
u Is substantially I'm this wise: IL does
not matter much If there is federal SUI
pervision of congressional elections. We
can elect presidential electors by the sew
eral legislatures at the south, and thus
escape the real object OF its enactment
and defeat its practical operation; but
