BASE BALL ITEMS.

The closing game of the season 10 this
city was played by our home club and q
picked nine from the Trenton clubs on
Monday. Our boys did themselves no
credit by this game; there was great
deal of "muffing" and no enthusiasm in
their play. They could have done a
great deal better if thay had wished to.
People don't care to go to games when
the players feel no interest in the game,
and game like this, earlier in the season,
would have chilled the interest materially.
The following is the score:

Chief Van Solver, of this city, gets
from leading journal devoted to fire.
mems matters, the following just COM
menGation for his report of the National
Firemen's Convention at Springfield, Mas
sachusetts, recently published in THE
RECORD:
If every Chief that attended the Con-
vention OF the National Association at
Springfield would make a report to his
superiors like the one made by Chief Van
Solver, of Lambertville, N. j., we have
no doubt it would be the means of en-
couraging other places to send repre-
sentative. Chief Van Solver made de-
tailed report, which was printed in the
local paper and made five columns Of inter-
esting reading. Chief Van Solver appreci-
ates the fact that he was not sent to the
Convention for his personal benefit, but
for the benefit of the whole Department,
and il was due the authorities that they
should know in detailiust what was done.
Too many chiefs are liable to forget this
fact, and if it were borne in mind and this
example more generally followed it would
result in an increased attendance at the
Conventions.

How Italy Would Efci1 It's i'm the
Event Of War.

Bro. Blaine, as a diplomat and
strategist in the Italian imbroglio,
has been, by the American people,
applauded to the echo, and if you
don't keep Il look out he
is fixing things oas to get us the
worst thrashing that a people ever
got.
AS the English journals gaest,
, it is no proper answer TO the gov
ernments OF Europe that the pecu-
liar construction of our govern
mcEt is such that the head of the
government must wait until it has
heard from one Of its members, a
state.
Without arguing the point, any
dispasSionate man can see that
it would not be business for Italy
to recognize the State of Louisiana
in the case, but must at once look
for satisfactory palliation or in
demnity to Washington.
There is no doubt that the
United States is responsible for a
fearful outrage upon two Italian
citizens, and the reply of Mr.
Blaine to digniied demand by
the Italian government is a
naughty, patroni1ing, iron-hand
in-velvct-glove emp detqt, the
American of which is the bull
doing of a people supposed phys
ically inferior.
1t is fact that the Italians are
a stiletto sticking, bull fighting,
guitar drumming, macaroni eat
ing, opera singing, picture paint
ing, organ grinding, toe kissing,
peanut selling, shrine worship
ping people--the degenerate sons
Of the noblest siras of earth; and
yet Italy, like her Nesuvius, has a
pent up fire that can do the Her
culaneum and Pcmpeii act for the
whole United States before YOU
could say Jack Robinson, when
Leo XIII tells his followers to let
loose the dogs Of war.
A man who knows anything
about the history Of the Catholic
church, knows that no oath of al
legiance of any Catholic to any
government, though made on a
stack of Bibles AS high as the
moon, amounts to a row OF pins as
against their loyalty to the Pope,
and | do not suppose there is a
Catholic i'll Lexington that will
deny this.
The United States has 100000
OF Catholics in it, with Il solid
Catholic country on the South and
semi-Catholic country on the
North. The only thoroughly
Protestant country in the world
is England, aud broadside of it is
Catholic Ireland that simply waits
It's opportunity, and, beside this,
Protestant England would not
espouse the cause Of quasi Protes.
tant America, because it is to the
interest of the English govern
ment to show the weakness Of any
republican government.
All the Catholic powers Of
Europe would combine as soon as
the Pope said it was necessary to
do so to protect the Pontiilicate.
Russia, with its Greek church that
is a. near Catholic as Protestant,
would remain neutral, and divided
Protestant America would be
over-run by the allied solid Cath
ollie armies OF the world.
