tempt at sport of the kind in Portland, and
proved decided success. Ten hotly contested
innings were played on the polished floor. the
champions finally winning by a score OF Is to ID.
The batteries were McNabb and Wilson for the
amateurs and Tanning and Graft for the Port
lands. 1t was benefit game, and brought out
an audience that entered into the spirit of the
play fully as well as the average outdoor gather
ing The Portland Marine band discoursed
sweet music between the innings, and also
between the meshes of a large net stretched
across the point of the stage to protect the musi
clans from foul tips. The diamond was artistic
ally laid out in broad chalk marks, and the
bases were marked with bags of sand that slid
as readily the most daring base stealers.
Instead of the regular ball, the players used an
implement that looked something like a bag
pudding, and which was pounded around the
room with small sized bats. Kid Camp led in
the batting, and raped out four two beggers
that got lost in the gallery. The benefit realized
about $500 for the champions.
Monday evening the team will sail for Califor-
MIA ON the steamer Columbia. Charles Dryden,
the baseball reporter OF the San Francisco Cal,
arrived in the city this morning and will return

THE NEW YEAR, 1891.

The interesting youngBter, 1891, is ushered
upon this mundane sphere to-day with as
fair prospects as ever attended the coming Of
any New Year this republic has seen. There
is a condition Of peace and prosperity
through the land. No grave problem threat
ems imminent danger from any quarter. Cap
ital finds profitable engagement in develop
ing the immense resources OF the country,
and labor is better paid than usual, and
with fewer causes or signs of discomfort
The Statesmen and politicians, in their COM
petition for public favor. are reduced to the
: st of showing which can offer best service
TO the country. No serious sectional or
sectarian strife distracts any class or creed.
Placid conditions surround the cradle of
1891. and the imagination can indulge war
rantably in the most roseate hopes for the
youngster.
But as the world grows older its activities
increase immensely; and the trouble with
the progressive nineteenth century indi-
viduaI is that his time is all too short to
accomplish all he would. Thus 81 is sure
to be buster and to witness the accomplish
ment of greater material things than any
like period which went before.

graduating its readers on the general pros
poets so far as they may be discerned from
the signs of the sky. 1t wishes them one

tn have been defeated for reelection on ac-
count of his rigidity in the granting of
licenses. With that possibility set before
us, its importance is immensely enhanced
by the thought that If the liquor or any
other class interests are able to prevail in
the election of judges the evil effects may
not be confined to the mere hberality in
the granting of licenses.
We do not accept it as foregone conclu-
sion that an elective license commission
would be subject to the influences which are
dreaded. But it is plain that il, with the
issue clearly drawn, the popular opinion
which desires the liquor traffic to be as
much restricted as at present is unable to
control the election, it is probable that the
same result will attend the election of
judges. 1t is true change in the character
of the bench under such influences will
have to be more gradual than the determine
ton of the character of the commission; but
that also carries with it the consideration
that whatever damage might be inflicted on
the integrity and impartiality of the bench
would be just so much more lasting. This
phase of the question makes it a matter for
serious reflection, whether it is not for the
public welfare to segregate the issue; to
fight out the question of many licenses or
few, by itself, in the election of commits
sion; to keep the character Of the bench en-
tirely free from the influences OF such con-
fict; and to recognize the fact that no higher
position on the question of regulating the
liquor traffic can be permanently main
tanned than the majority of the people will
support at the polls.
These are some of the considerations in
volved in the proposed change from the
present license court to license commits
sion. They comprise such rarity of pos
sibilities that it will not be strange if there
is decided confusion and division of pub
lie opinion over it.

The Old Element Again Prominent in the
Directory.

DlrectOry.
NEW YORK, Dec 3l-Fo- several days in
formal but important meetings of individual
directors of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com
pany have been going on. The last of these
meetings was held in a private parlor at the
Fifth Avenue Hotel, Tuesday evening. and after
a long discussion as to the condition of the
company and its affairs it was decided to have
a formal meeting at the office of the
President Thomas G. Platt. this after
noon. At this meeting Mr. Platt pre-
sided, and a reorganization of the company was
effected. The element which first brought the
before the meeting was over it was again re-
stored TO favor. For instance. w. NJ. Duncan,
of Nashville, who has been First Vice Presi-
dent, resigned his place, and N. Baxter, Jr..
who was President from 1884 to 1883, was elected
in his place.
Mr.. Baxter is from Nashville, and an
influential man in the iron industries
director. Then ]. F. b. jackson, of Birming-
ham. who was Second Vice President,
resigned, and his place was filled by
t. P. Hillman, also from birmingham. 1t was
said that these gentlemen will have offices in
Nashville. but that they will be IN close COM
munication with President Platt at the New
York ONCE. Then the formal designations as
directors of General Russell A. Alger. Samuel
Cowan, j. T. b. jackson, Colonel d. s. Lamont,
and j. c. Haskell were read and approved. In
their places were elected John II. Inman, who
has been identified with the property for many

DISAGREEABLE WEATHER.

Last nights weather, in this glorious
country, was a mixture OF about all tn un-
pleasant things imaginable. The fog was
widespread, extending from the Mississippi
river to the Allegheny mountains. In fact,
it was reported crowding over on the At
lantic slope. There was rain during the
day. and furious snowstorm was reported
last night to be chasing the fog eastward.
Wires were worthless in much of the western
country, and the electric currents were work
ing badly in this s.. .tiou.
High water, possiblr food stage. is in
prospect for the rivers unless the Western
snowstorm shall soon arrive here accom-
panied by low enough temperature to freeze
up the trickling streams from the melting
snow. All in all, the old year went out
with about as ugly lot of weather as it
saw during its entire course. This is saying
good bit, for the weather OF last year was
remarkable for its nastiness. We can cher
ish the cheerful hope that nature will deal
more kindly with us this year.

ANOTHER YEARS HISTORY.

The years history, briefly given this
morning, is full of important events. Death
and life were both active in changing human
affairs. The achievements OF science during
the twelve-month were noteworthy, not the
least being the discovery of DR., Koch's
lymph. Perhaps the most notable thing
about the peace history of the world, in re-
cent years. is that it is crowded arena of
events of apparently equal importance, with
only here and there one standing out promi-
nently above the rest. This is not because
our achievements are less-it is because
they are generally so much greater.
