Lodre. Then and Sow.

Baltimore Sun.
Henry Cabot Lodge Of Massachusetts,,
in Fourth OF July oratlon in 1879 said,
among other things: 1--WE have been
insensibly led TO regard a violation OF
state rights with indiffere1ce, If not
with approval. The principle of states
rights is as vital and essen sial as the
national principle itself. II the former,
carried to extremes, means anarchy the
latter, carried TO like extremes, means
Capitalization and despotism so long
as we have the strong barrier of the
states we are safe from usurpation and
plebiscites Here in the North states
rights have naturally become words
of evil significance, and are even used to
revile political opponents. This is not
only bad in itself, but It involves an
amount of historical hypocrisy which is
intolerable This Is the same Mr. Lodge
who introduced the Federal Election bill
which was forced through the House of
Representatives under the arbitrary rul-
ings Of Speaker Reed, and which prac-
tically annihilates states rights in the
conduct Of elections. The extract given
shows what descent Mr.. Lodge has
made, and caps the climax OF inconsist-
ency.

FATAL sHooTINe AccIpENT.
Walter Prlnkstt, q Colored Boy, Acct

Walter Prinkstt, a ColOred Boy, Acci-
dentallY shoots Himself.
Walter PrInkett, colored boy about
10 years old, shot himself accidentally at
IL 40 O'Clock this morning. The boy,
whose father is dead lived with his
grandmother, Annie Prinkett, at Tenth
and Shipley streets. She conducts a
barber shop at No. 10 east Front street,
and William A. Pierce, a barber in her
employ, some time ago procured i've
chamber revolver from Jasob II. Top
kiss, with the intention, Pierce says, Of
selling it to some of his customers. The
revolver, who was loaded In one cham
Der was placed by Pierce in show case
in the shop, where there was also toy
Iislol with which the boy had been in
the habit of amusing himself. The boy
took the revolver from the case and
pointed it at Pierce saying 81 will shoot
you" Pierce at FIRST thought it was the
toy pistol and paid no attention. but on
seeing the revolver he attempted to take
1t from the boy.
The latter ran around the room aud
pulled the trigger when the revolver
was discharged, the ball entering the
boys throat and passing upward in a
slanting direction through the neck
breaking the spinal cord A messenger
was hastily dispatched for DR. H M.
First, who arrived soon after and pro-
nounced him dead Deputy Coroner
Barnhill was summoned and took charge
of the remains.
The acciden caused the greatest ex-
citement on Front street and crowds Of
people surrounded the house for several
hours. A police officer guarded the door
OF the shop, on the sill Of which lay a
large pool OF blood The officer said the
boy lived but ninety seconds after the
shot was fred

THE puny war between the little Re-
publics Of San Salvador and Guatemala
seems very unnecessary as well as in
consequential. It may turn out that
President Menendez may have died from
natural causes, not from poison, and
that the warlike attitude Of Guatemala
is unreasonable and unwarranted.

Foot Ball in the G. A.C.

The football committee of the Columbia Club
wish to correct an idea which has gained cred
ence, to the effect that the football team is to
De selected from certain number of men
whose names have appeared in different sport
ing columns. The amount of material which
the G. A. G. contains makes it impossible to
forecast at this time what members will COM
pose the team. New men are coming out for
practice each day, and players of college repu-
tation, which the club heretofore had not
counted upon, have put in an appearance. The
greatest enthusiasm exists among the Columbia
men, and an interest in this sport is being
awakened, which indicates that the club will
have team which will compare favorably
with those of the large colleges The
committee intends to conduct the management
on an entirely unpreiudiced and non-partisan
plan. Every man will be given satisfactory
chance to prove his abilities, and the best men
will be chosen to represent the club Faithful
practice and conscientious training is to be the
primary qualifications for candidacy. No single
person has as yet been selected to fill any GER
tain position. In regard to the makeup of the
team it is probable that the committee will
adopt practice which is in vogue at most col
leges and which has proven most satisfactory.
There will be no regular team. That is, no fixed
set OF men will be recognized as members of the
team, with the idea that changes cannot
be made at any time. Two days be-
fore each game fourteen men, an eleven,
and three substitutes, will be selected to play
that match, and after that no team will exist
until the next game. OF course it is probable
that the team will consist of practically the
same men, but when the committee becomes
satisfied that some other man is better fitted to
occupy place on the team than member who
has played previous match, the change will
be Immediately made. Negotiations are in
progress by which the club will probably secure
the use of the Capitol Park grounds for prac-
tice. This will greatly increase the capabilities
OF the team, as more men will be able
to reach these grounds than could get
to Anaostan Island. If the Columbus expect
a which ha 70 thap,
it will be necessary that some men, who will
sacrifice their time for the benefit of the club,
to come out and give the team some one to play
against in practice This has been one of the
geatest faults in the G. A. G. AS soon as
team is selected other members lose interest
and they are expected to work along by them
selves without any aid in the matter of prac-
tice from other members of the club.

THE TURF.
Races at Gravesend.

GRAyEsEND RACE TRACK, Sept. 27.-This
was another poor day for racing, yet the regu'
lars were present in full force and were
reinforced by delegation of the Saturday
visitors. The track was deep in mud, which
caused the usual amount of scratching.
Tanner was made such a favorite for the first
race, SIX furlongs, that he was barred in half
the books. He was ridden by Garrison, and
won easily in 1;lS4.
The second race, l 1-16 miles, was the best
betting event of the day. Sluggard was at first
the favorite, but it soon became noised about
that Reporter had been treated to dose of the
mysterious injection, and he speedily sold as
first choice. Now or Never and Salvina were
also backed while Eric, Folsom, and Grmaldi
had plenty of one, two, three following. The
injection did its work well, for Reporter ran in
a prominent position to the stretch, when he
drew away and Won as he pleased by two good
lengths, in 1:5l4.
Chesapeake and Kempland were about the
only two that were backed to any extent for the
Sea Breeze stakes, 1-16 miles. The former
won in a common canter. Time, 1:514.
Eon, Prince Royal, and Los Angeles were the
only ones to face the starters for the second
special, one mile and a furlong. Eon was the
favorite, but Los Angeles beat him two lengths,
while Prince Royal was helplessly beaten.
Time, 1:594.
Fifth race-Five and half furlongs. The
Flutter flly was at once sent to the front, and,

Ditto of McAuIiffe-Has Fought His Last
Battle,
New YORK, Sept. 27.-John L. Sullivan was
to-day asked for his opinion in regard to the
result Of Slavin-McAulifre fight, he said: "Oh
do not want to express any opinion at all
knew the fight would result as it did. never
saw McAuliffe put up his props, and L never
saw the Australian at all. McAuliffe is feet,
3! inches tall, and that is too great height for
a frst-class fighter, in my opinion. So far as
can judge from the reports have seen, when
the got at it at close quarters Slayin's right
did great execution. OF course McAuliffe
closed in, but when they broke away he was
always worsted."
"Do you recognize Slayin as the champion Of
the world ~ asked the reporter.
"Byno means, ''replied Jonn L.. "He has only
defeated a second-class man. OF coarse, l
think he is a good man, but it does not take an
extra good one to best McAuiffe."
"Will you now make match with Slavin ?'
'No, sir, once for all; that is out of the
question. l have adopted the theatrical profes-
sion and left pugilism behind me forever.
Nothing would induce me to enter the ring.

the Detroits are insisting on the playing of
Walsh, the reinstated professional amateur
player. He was reinstated with the distinct
understanding that he would not play base
ball, but he is to go in just the same. The n.
j. Athletics talk of forfeitng rather than play
against such people. When the A. A. T. knocks
out all professionals and keeps them out they
will merit more praise than they are getting
now. Once professional, always profess
sional, is the safest and best rule.

There was no game played, as only two innings

while he was in Europe he had a cabegram

rather undertake to have two weeks running
races. Then, again, the trotting races are
