Berlin, Jan. 2e.-Owing to the total failure OF the

there has been some wonder to whether that CON-
bination must hcnceforth be looked upon as merely
piece of past political history. The truth Is now
plainly admitted that the bond of the Cartel COM

made that was Of really vital interest considered from
the point of view of the old party lines The Cartel
leaders have consequently agreed that as the advan

for which the coalition is maintained, and members
will be at liberty to act 1t according To their own

THE wANE OF BAsEBaLI.

The signs are multiplying that the DAYS
of the baseball craze are drawing to close.
The most convincing evidence that the pub
lie at large is no longer disposed to e1ult
over the exhibition of hired athletes in this
game, or to go wild with local pride be-
cause a city has paid players from all over
the country to represent it on the field, is
furnished BY the statistics of attendance.
The light receipts at the various matches
so far this season are made to appear still
smaller by the fact that they are divided up
between rival organizations; but even with
due allowance for that fact, the total attend.
ance furnishes proof that the curve pitcher
is no longer greater man than the success
full author, the eloquent clergyman or the
talented inventor. IF the old excitement
were still in vogue the rivalry between the
clubs ought to increase the total attend
ance. But the fact is that the total attend
ance has woiully diminished and the fact is
impressed on everyone that the public ab-
sorption in the professional phase of the ma
tlonal sport is waning.
1t is by no means a regrettable indication
that professionalism in athletic sports can
wear out its hold upon the public. Base
ball, in its proper place, as a sport, has few
rivals for healthfulness and recreation. But
its proper place is for those who enjoy it to
play it solely for exercise and relief from
the fatigue OF real work. When baseball
was played by a score of amateur organiza-
tions on as many fields throughout the SUBJ
urbs, it was fulfilling its best and highest
function as sport. When the sport for the
public came to be nothing but sitting on
benches and yelling itself hoarse when
hired athletes slugged the ball or made a
marvellous catch, it was degraded from its |
real function as a popular sport to that of a |
modern gladiatorial exhibition. Hiring |
people to do our ball-playing is the poorest |
possible use that can be made of the popular
game.
There is certain satire OF fate in the |
fact that just as the players and managers
have got to fighting for the profits of the
profession, those profits should vanish. The
plum has been worth fighting for; but the
prospects are at present that the managers
who failed to get the players to accept
fabulous salaries will be most thankful for
the failure; while the players may, after the
season is over, favor almost any reserve rule
which guarantees them any salary at all.
The reign of the sporting editor is also
likely 10 be less absolute; and the news
papers will be able during the baseball sea-
son to give some attention to matters of ma
tional importance.
The baseball craze outlasted the roller
skating rink lunacy, and has proved more
than most of the popular fancies.
But the signs of its decay are positive; and
the time when it will be relegated to its real
function of exercise for the masses, is surely
approaching.

ALLEGHENY's LIBRARY.

The leisurely movements OF Allegheny
City government have at last provided the
Carnegie Library of that city with libra
rian, Mr.. W. M. Stevenson having been
chosen to that position at the meeting Of the
Library Committee last night. The elec-
tion is indicated by the balloting to have
been largely in huenced by the usual politi-
cal methods, although there is every reason
to believe that the successful candidate is
well equipped with the literary culture and
general information that will be efficient in
that position. With the patronage of the
institution now fully distributed it is to be
hoped that the management of the Allie
gheny Library will devote earnest attention
to making the actual collection of books
worthy the beautiful building which Mr..
Carnegie has presented to that city. If they
will do that there is hope that, in the full
ness of time, Allegheny will have a library

THE OIL COUNTRY FIGHT.

The preliminary skirmish of the State
canvass in Mexican county proves, on final
returns, to be decided setback for the
Standard representatives who have been
running the State machine. After Senator
Emery fired his broadside at Delamater some
weeks ago, the word was passed to break the
force of his charges by carrying the northern
oil counties for Delamater and taking EN-
ery's own scalp in his Congressional candi-
dacy. The fight has been hot one, and
that all the Standard machinery was en-
ployed for the purpose is shown by the way
that the Standards Democratic organs, as
well as the Republican ones, worked for Della
mater. The result of a victory for Emery in
Mexican and for Stone in both Mexican and
Franklin amounts to a rather severe blow for
Andrews and Delamater, and permits the
gratifying inference that the Standard does
not own the oil regions politically as well as
financially.

AN UNREAL1zED UNANIMIrY.

The attitude of the various leaders in the
Democratic party present one remarkable
and distinctive contrast to that of the Re-
publican candidates for the Governorship.
The Republican patriots make no bones OF
asserting that they want the Office, and all
are out hunting with more or less strenuous
accompaniment of brass bands. The Dem
ocrats who have been named in connection
with the same place are very different-ac-
cording to their avowals, at least.
The declaration of ex-senator Wallace
was very distinctly to the effect that he
would take the position only if it were
the unanimous wish of the Pennsylvania
Democracy. 1t has already been made
quite evident that Wallace is not the unan-
imous choice of the Democrats, from which
the natural inference would be that Wal
lace would retire from the field. But when
Wallace gets into the field he is by no
means of retiring disposition, and it has
not been observed that either his literary
bureau or his wire-pullers have at all abated
their hustling.
We do not remember that Ex-Governor
Pattison committed himself to any definite
assertion that he would require a unani-
nous nomination. But the Ex-Governor
very clearly conveyed the impression that
the Office must seek him, instead of his seek
ing the Office. We cannot say that Patti
son has been personally out on the Guber-
material trail; but since it was perceived
that the Office was not hunting him
very able corps of hunters have been pur-
suing that elusive game on his behalf, with
a rigor that bids fair to bag it.
That Rupert of the Pennsylvania De-
mocracy, Chauncey F. Black, took an atti-
tude very much like that of Wallace's. If
the nomination came to him unanimously
be would take it. He has recognized that
it is not coming to him unanimously. But
the dashing ex-Lieutenant Governor has
memory, and he is still In the field, not so
much, it is hinted, for the sake of trying
to get the nomination for himself, as for

ONE-sIDED COAL RATES.

The claim of the Pittsburg freight agents
that as much Pittsburg coal as ever is going
to Chicago, may have good deal of founda-
tion in fact, if we take into account that
which goes by lake and rail. Agreeing to
that as lact and accepting the view that the
absurd idea, that the failure to get low rates
is due to the Interstate commerce law, is
inspired from some shipper who wants the
old system of faYoritism restored, there is
still room for discussion with regard to
Western coal rates.
There is certainly basis for the argument
that if the railroads could afford five years
ago to carry for favored shippers at less than
present rates. they can afford to do the same
thing for the public now. This view is not
at all weakened by the showing of the fig
ures that the rate on coal from Pittsburg is
nearly as great per ton per mile as the rate
on grain from Chicago, the former being one
oil the cheapest freights that can be carried,
and the latter rather above the average of
expense for the care it requires.
We can also agree with the argument of a
railroad official that % cents per ton extra
on Pittsburg coal for the 200-mile longer
haul, as compared with the Hooking Valley,
is not unjust. But it is very poor rule that
does not work both ways; and when the rail-
roads put cheaper rate on the Hooking VAL
ley coal than is carried to the lakes, one-third
more distance than the Pittsburg coal, the
policy of making this city pay the big end
of the freight charges in both cases is sus-
ceptible of Improvement

LEGISLATION ON ADULrERAT1oN,

The prevention of food or drug adultera-
ton is unanimously conceded 10 be a
proper subject of legislation; but the erec-
tiOn of undue political power in one of the
departments, or the unnecessary harassing
of legitimate business is certainly not to be
counted as the legitimate fulfilment of that
purpose. That is the very valid objection
raised by the wholesale drug interest to the
Paddock bill now pending in the Senate.
To obviate it, the substitute measure drawn
up by Mr.. George A. Kelly, of this city,
and published elsewhere, is to be introduced.
The bill which is thus approved by the
National Wholesale Drug Association ap-
pears on examination to be devised verv
carefully to cover all cases of adulterations
in drugs and Of adulterations and deleteri-
Gus compounds in food products. But one
feature of the case, in the sale of patent
medicines containing deleterious ingredi-
ents, the bill, perhaps from the conditions
OF its authorship, does not provide against.
