BASE BALL.
The Base Ball Situation.

There 4 never was a more exciting
struggle for supremacy in the New Eng
land league than at present. The Port
lands lead by six one-hundreths, which
lead is liable to be overcome in few
days; then, again, it is liable to be in
creased. Our nearest competitors. the
Woonsockets, have been greatly strength
ened by the addition of Bob Barr, for
many years with the Washingtons, and
later OH with the Providences; and John
Stafford, the clever pitcher from Holy
Cross College. The latter is, without
doubt, one of the finest pitchers in any
of the minor leagues.
The Woonsockets are sparing no ex-
pense to secure the pennant, and if mon.
ey can get it they will have it. Their
salary is over the limit for such players
as Tom O'Brien, Burrill, Billy Long and
Bob Barr do not play ball for exercise.
Stafford is considered one of the brain
lest pitchers in the country, and has re-
ceived offers from many of ,the National
league clubs. He has refused them as
he prefers to wait until his collegiate
course is ended. He pitched seven
games for the Providences with an aver
age of seven hits to game.
Jack Leighton has also been signed by
the Woonsockets. He is the big left
handed hitter that Manchester had last
season, and is one of the best centre
fielders in the minor leagues.
That Portland will win the pennant no.
body doubts. Rich has proved a valua-
BILE find, his back-stop work Saturday
was beyond criticism. He outshone the
famous Buster Burrill, considered by
all ball players to be the greatest catcher
in the league. He has caught eighty
consecutive games this season. With
the addition of McAuley the Portlands
will be as strong in the battery depart
ment as any team in the league.
1t is generally conceded that in Rogers
and O'Brien we have the two great hit
tiers of the league. They have an aver
age of over 1920, and there are few in
this league who are their equals.
After careful survey of the situation
there seems to be no reason why the
pennant won't float here next season.

The substitute was adopted bv q vote

The substitute was adopted by vote
OF 564 to $40. BY this decisive vote,
therefore, the democratic party, in ma
tional convention assembled, has de-
clared that it will not tolerate a tariff
which aims to give American industries
even incidental protection. 1t repudi-
ates the idea that tariff reform shall be
prosecuted according ito the dictates
of Justice" 1t rejects suggestion that
duties may be levied on foreign prod
nets equal to the difference between
the cost of labor here and abroad. In
short, it repudiates every suggestion Of
protection for American industry, and
comes out squarely and unequivocally
for tariff for revenue only. This is the
most advanced position the democratic
party has ever taken on the tariff
question, and is the elimination of
progressive free trade.
The nomination of Mr. Cleveland, the
most prominent advocate of free trade,
on this platform makes a distinct issue
on the tariff question. 1t is an issue
which the republican party will well
come right gladly. 1t means that in

A Pleasant Exchange of Courtesies Be-
tween President Harrison and King
Humbert.
WASHINGTON, July ,26.-The depart
ment of state yesterday made public
pleasant exchange Of courtesies be-
tween President Harrison and King
Humbert of Italy. Under date of the
18th inst, the secretary of the navy adj
dressed a letter to the secretary of
state, advising him that he had learned,
unoflicially, that the steamer bearing
the statue of Columbus, gift of Ital-
ian-Americans, for the city of New
York, was likely to be accompanied by
vessel of war of the kingdom of Italy,
and that the visit would concur with
the Colum bus celebra tion to take place
in October next, under the auspices of
the city of New York. The secretary
Of the navy expressed the cordial salts
faction of the navy department at this
intelligence, and gave assurance that
the Italian vessel of war would receive
a cordial welcome, worthy of such an
honored visitor.
The letter of the secretary Of the
navy was SenU I'd Une lldlldn IIllHlSutT
in this city, and on the 21st inst. the
minister, Baron Fava, informed the
secretary of state that the royal cruiser
'Bausan" had been designated for this
mission, and would be at New York at
the beginning Of October. In view Of
this notification, President Harrison
sent the following telegram to his mai
esty, King Humbert:
WASHINGTON. July FL 1892
HIS MAJESTY, HUMBERT L. KING OF ITALY,
RoME-The offer TO send an Italian cruiser to
participate in the ceremonies at New York in
October affords me occasion to express to your
majesty my qualification at this signal tribute

and the United States.

To this King Humbert responded as
follows:

A DANGEROUS PLATFORM.
An Extraordinary Declaration by ths
Straddiine Democrats.

Straddiing Democrats.
The democratic platform is remarka-
BILE for its length. its verhosity, its
weakness and its vulnerability. 1t was
evidently constructed by Senator Villas,
who was designated by the chairman
of the committee to read it because he
was familiar with it's phraseology.
Having been constructed by Villas it
could not be other than prolix and
wordy. He is a phrase maker, and en-
joys nothing SO much as writing long
sentences except standing up before an
audience and reading them.
The only point in the platform that
calls for particular comment is the tar
iff resolution. This is to be a tariff
campaign. The platform and candi-
date of the republican party empha-
sized that fact The chairman OF the
Minneapolis convention was the author
of the Mckinley bill. The platform
declares in favor of the protection of
American industries, and the candidate
is the embodiment of that idea. twas
necessary, therefore, for the democratic
party to declare itself on this question,
and it has done SO in an extraordinary
manner. The majority of the commit

to straddle the question, but the con-

sY Democratic bosses seem to think
that protection is or should be a paid

Protection simply builds great manu-

courages capital to be invested and

vate affairs. 1t could do no more

The republican presidential cam
paign this year is to be aggressive, not
defensive There is nothing in the
record of the Harrison administration
which needs either defense or apology.
The people are satisfied with it; the
business interests of the country desire
its continuance. There is no weak
point which needs defense, and the
energies of the party will be devoted
to attacking the democracy. .-Minneap-

nKIt is pitiful to see the race be-

leaders and newspapers to see who can
reap the greatest political benefits OF

never is a calamity or trouble that

political advantage. The misfortunes
of the people appeal strongly to the
democratic heart, and the more OF them

tempts, to the private office, in Pitts
burgh, Pa, of Henry c. Friclx, the presi-
dent OF the great Carnegie steel and

through the neck. Later, during a

the Tenth Pennsylranla Regiment,
without Authority of Court Martial,
Strongly Condemned by National Guards

NEW YORK, July 26.-The punish
ment inflicted on private Thomas Iarns,
of the tenth regiment Of the Pennsylva-
MIA national guard stationed at Home
stead, Saturday afternoon for propos-
ing three cheers for the man who shot
Chairman Frick, formed the principal
topic in national guard circles in this
city to-day. The concensus of opinion
seems to be that the punishment was
unprecedented and barbarous, and Col.
Streator was loudly denounced for not
giving the man the benefit of court
martial.
Brig. Gen. Emmons Clark, the former
commander Of the Seventh regiment,
said: ''Col. Streator's action has no
precedent in this state. The military
code of New York would not admit of
such extreme punishment. OF course
we cannot judge of the conditions at
Homestead, but it seems to me that the
punishment was carried to the extreme
As there was no martial law proclaimed
at Homestead, do not see how Iams
could have been punished without mil
itary trial. If Private Iams has any
friends imagine they win not hesitate
long in bringing civil action against
Col Streator.s

GUS regiments made similar remarks,
and even many influential citizens ex-
