Special TO THE SUNDAY HzRALD.
M1LwAuKEB, WIS, Sept. 12-The Nationals
played an errorless game here to-day and
showed more vim and snap than in any of the
previous contests. Cassian proved an easy
mark for the Brewers. They batted him freely
and that, too, when the runners were on the
bases. But the Nationals could not do any
thing successfully with the peculiar drop ball
of Davis. The batting of Shoch and Dalrym-
pie, of the Wilwaukees, and Dowd, McCsuley,
and Mcclure were the features, while Dowd
and shannon played brilliantly in the field.

two, and five errors. This is sample of the
games lost by our team. The directors have
tried hard to get team, and it is through no

to some of the seductive phrases and
tricks by which the promoters of the
schemes catch the ignorant and credu-

a long list of numerical companies and
by indicating the names of five which
have been refused licenses in this state.
The five are the Mddlesex Investment

The Sugar Bounty.
work.

ACCORDING to a recently-issued CEN
sus bulletin, Vermont is the largest
maple sugar producing state in the
Union save one-New York. A care
full estimate places the number of maple
sugar orchards in Vermont at Is 900, of
which number il is calculated that
nearly 10000 contain fully $50 trees
each. The average annual amount of
maple sugar and syrup produced in the
state since 1880 aproXimates 10000
600 pounds. Estimating the average
market price of the crop at eight cents
per pound, 81 100000 then is the value
of the product to the farmers each
year. With favorable weather condi-
tons the sugar crop of 1892, under III,
stimulus of bounty to manufacturers,
is likely to be upward of 100000
pounds, including syrup, and it is safe
to assume that between 10000 900 and
$4,000, 900 pounds will test above eighty
degrees and receive bounty. Upon
this basis the farmers of Vermont will
be paid over 5000, 900 from the United
States t; easury, under the bounty clause
of the Mckinley bill. Many farmers
have already purchased improved ap-
paratus and utensils for sugar-making,
in anticipation of improving the quality
and increasing the quantity of their
production under the bounty act, and
others propose doing so later. There
are probably more than 5000 farmers
who will make application between
April l and July next, for licenses to
make sugar in 1892, under the bounty
act.-ForbeS, in Boston Journal.

Senator Ingalls, Defeat.

And now Senator ingalls, head goes
into the basket. The alliance men in
the Kansas legislature pulled themselves
together, and on the seventeenth ballot
at the caucus of last week Monday
night they nominated w. A. Pfeffer,
who was elected on the joint ballot on
Wednesday. Senator ingalls, had re-
lied on the divided sentiment of the
alliance men as to candidates, evil
IDENTITY expecting-or at least hoping
that they would not unite on any candi-
date of their own but would fall back
on him. But the Kansas farmers ap.
pear to be made of different stuff from
the average legislator. They were
bound to elect some alliance man in
any event. Senator Ingalls, was really
out of the race from the start, although
he put on as bold face as possible and
insisted right along that he was going
to be reelected. His retirement need
not be greatly regretted by republicans
who wish to see their party triumph in
the future. He is demagogue and an
artist at oratorical pyrotechnics, but is
not statesman. He has failed to in
spire confidence in the party at large
and in his constituency in Kansas, and
in the last days of the senatorial fight
he forfeited the respect of all honest
men by making promise after promise
which he supposed would win support
from the alliance men. The future of the
republican party depends largely on the
disposition made of such men as Senator
Ingalls,. Whatever their claims on the
score of ability and past services, if
they can not stand the test of present

clusiveness, if adhered to, can have but

clusiveness, if adhered to, can have but
one outcome-to make Vermont the
China of the American states. Who
ever has seen an enterprising, progress
sive community spurning immigrants
so intelligent, thrifty and desirable as
are these Swedes? But the people of
Vermont as a body do not reject the
Swedes. They have only been for a
time grossly misrepresented by few
men and papers. The better sense of
the state was outraged in this as in
other particulars by the legislature at
its recent session, and in this as in some
other particulars the better sense of the
legislature itself was outraged by the
action of certain malcontents, who, in
the delirium OF the closing hours of the
session, while some slept and SUM
bered who should have been vigilant
and valiant TO the last moment, got co..
troll of the legislative helm and headed
the ship of state down stream. Thou
sands of good and patriotic citizens are
now looking to the governor TO take
the lead in some well-directed effort TO
prevent The loss and injury that must
befall the state if the status quo result
ing from the action of the legislature is
tamely acquiesced in. If there is any
hope or expectation of a return tide of
native immigration, spirit and enter
prise, the arts of constructive states
manshp, must take the place of listless-
ness, enervation and reaction.

ranking thereby, must have been in
those little communities. How the
goodwiyes must have hated the seating
committee! Though it was expressly
ordered, when the committee rendered
their decision, that "the inhabitants
are TO rest silent and sett down satys-
fyed," who can still the tongue of an
enviOus woman or an insulled man?
Though they were Puritans, they were,

plants and revolts were frequent.

A National Loss.

The country had great confidence in
Secretary Window. He gave evidence,
while he was secretary of the treasury
for very brief period under President
Garfield, of financial ability, discretion
and good judgment. His chief achieve
ment at that time was the re.fundng of
over 500 900, 900 FIVE and six per cent
bonds, by which saving of some Sl2,-
900, 900 was made to the nation. Assum-
ing again the treasury portfolio two
years ago, Mr.. Window devoted himself
with untiring industry and exceptional
intelligence to the exacting demands of
the office. He has met the exigencies
of the time more than half way. His
promptness in using all the means at
his command during the financial strain
of the last half of last year doubtless
prevented great monetary crash.
This the business world well under.
stands and appreciates. Mr.. Window
was bi-meialist, and he has been ready
to admit the claims of the silver men as
far as they seemed practicable to him.
His bill of last winter, on which the
present silver law is largely based,
showed how friendly he was to silver.
Yet he was unwilling at this time TO
favor free coinage, believing it a
scheme promising disaster to this coun-
try if the latter is alone in adopting it.
He was conservative in his originality,
and the sound reasoning which he en-
ployed in advocating his measures COM
mended them to careful and respectful
consideration. He has been an emil
nently successful secretary of the treas
ury, and it is but justice to his memory
TO say that in his tragic death the ma
ton suffers great loss. Personally,
too, his removal will be keenly felt by
those who knew him. His character
was irreproachable. An earnest and
indefatigable man, accomplishing more
than the majority of men in public
life, he was yet gentle and lovable, one
whom all respected. Secretary Proctor
says of him: "Mr. Window was a
man of such pleasant and amiable dis
position that he endeared himself to all
of u.s." Dying thus, after long and
honorable career in public life and with
the personal regard and affection of the
great number of men with whom his
active life brought him in contact, he
may well be emulated. His life is
another illustration of the possibilities
of American citizenship.

Seating the Westinghouse.

In all the Puritan meetings, as then
and now in Quaker meetings, the men
sat on one side of the Westinghouse
and the women on the other, and they
entered by separate doors. 1t was a
great and much contested change when
men and women were ordered TO sit
together promiscuoslie. In front,
on either side of the pulpit Cor very
rarely in the foremost row in the gal
lery), was seat of highest dignity,
known as the foreseat," in which
only the persons of greatest impor-
lance in the community sat- Some
times row of square pews were built
on three sides of the ground floor, and
were each occupied BY separate fam
lilies. while the pulpit was on the fourth
side. If any man wished such pr-
vate pew for himself and family, he OBJ
tanned permission from the church
and town, and built it at his own ex-
pense. Immediately in front of the
pulpit was eithera long seat or square
inclosed pew for the deacons, who sat
facing the congregation. This was
usually foot or two above the level of
the other pews, and was reached by
two or three steep, narrow steps. On
still higher plane was a pew for the
ruling elders, when ruling elders there
were. What we now consider the
best seats, those in the middle of the
church, were in olden times the free
seats. 1t is easy to comprehend what
source of disappointed anticipation,
heart-burning jealousy, offended dig
nifty, unseemly pride and bitter quarrel
ing this method of assigning seats, and

efficiency and do not put progress and
principle before personal ambition,
they should be RELOCATED to private life.
The successor of Senator Ingalls,,
Judge Pfeffer, is man of individuality
and force of character. He gets his
title of "judge" from the fact that he
was a judge advocate in the army. He
has been teacher, a farmer, a lawyer
and an editor. Since 1881 he has had
charge of the Kansas Farmer, the most
influential of the alliance organs in
Kansas. He is the author of book
called "The Way Out" in which the
loaning of money to the people by the
government is advocated. This is the
well known "subtreasury" scheme,
which has played so prominent part in
the alliance propaganda. Judge Pfeffer
has striking presence, his dark beard
falling nearly to his waist. He will
probably be something more than a
voting machine in the senate.
The precautions taken by the ALI
ance to make sure that none of their
members went back on them at the
last minute are worthy of study and
adoption in Vermont. A dispatch says
Alliance men arrived from every district
by the hundreds. The alliance OF each
legislative district sent three men to look
after its representative, and whenever a
member went out he was accompanied by
at least one Of his brethren. These guards
stood over the alliance members in the
hotel corridors, accompanied them in their
strolls about the streets, went to their meals
with them, walked with them to the capitol
in the afternoon when they attended the
session Of the house, watched the proceed
ings from the galleries, buttonholed them
after the session, and stayed with them
until the caucus hour arrived. During the
caucus they waited outside the building I'M
til the adjournment, and then took them to
their hotels. At the caucus rooms partcu-
lar precautions were taken that none but
members should be allowed to enter. Be-
sides giving the grip and password, each
member was Obliged to show his credentials
from the speaker. 1t would have been as
easy for an intruder to obtain admission to
the caucus as for an uninitiated man to get
into Masonic lodge-room.
The lesson of this most interesting
episode in Kansas is that flowing
periods without honest work for a sorely-
pressed constituency avail not when
that constituency becomes thoroughly
aware of the condition of things. Sem
ator ingalls, has no one but himself to
blame for his fall. The alliance men
have not lost their interest in the re-
publican party so much as they have
lost confidence in such leaders as
Senator ingalls,. The farmers of Kan
sas, it appears, had become convinced
that their " iridescsnt statesman had
ceased to be useful, and they hung to-
gether until he was defeated. If these
alliance movements in the West clear
the republican party of some of its
dead-weights, it will have done good
work.
