Base Ball.
RISING SUN vs.. ELKTON.

The Rising Sun base ball club Wis.
tied Elkton Saturday and played the
club of that place on the fair
grounds. The game resulted in a
tie, being called at the end of the 9th
inning on account of darkness.
Rising Sun did not have out
its full strength, three regular
players being absent, necessitating
the filling of their positions by sub,
stitutes Kimbell. who was in the
box, pitched fine game and with
proper support would easily have
won. Willis, of Newark, was in the
points for Elkton and pitched stead
lily. The game was marked by the
incessant kicking of the visitors
owing to the rank decisions of the
umpire, an Elkton man. Following

Going to Europe.

Slowed away among the cherished plans
of most people are generally European
trip. Sometimes the plan is vague, to be
sure. Sometimes the probabilities are that
it will never in the world be carried out.
However that may be, it is good thing for
which to plan. Learning something about
the conditions and details of European
travelling gives not little of the relish of
the actual trip. and preparatory journey

Prison Labor.

The question of convict labor in competi-
ton with the labor of the artisan seems to
agitate the public mind to great extent at
the present time; and not without just rea-
son, for no one seems to be able to solve the
problem to the satisfaction of al. Now, in
looking at both sides Of this question. these
views have come to my mind as atfOrding
the best and easiest method of solving this
veXed question. But in solving it we must
bear in mind these facts. that we have crime
that as long as we have crime we will have
criminals, that something must be done with
them. that the object of law and its ulti-
mate punishment is to reform men, and that
in order to reform men we must furnish
them employment of some kind so that we
may enculcate habits of industry within
them, and learn them some trade whereby
they may be fitted as far as possible to fol-
low an honest life on their release. This.
L take it, is the true spirit of the law, and
should be the spirit that actuates mankind.
Granting this, our next thought is, how can
we do this with the least injury to the arti-
san or mechanic who is dependant upon his
labor for the support of himself and family?
There is one thing certain, we can never do
it by contracting the labor of convicts to
spectators. for by so doing we strike a
death blow to labor by grinding down the
price of labor to the lowest notch, by making
mems wages compete with convict labor;
and also by enabling the contractors to fur
nish the manufactured articles at a price so
low that no one is able to manufacture the
same article with free labor and compete
with them in price. So we must necessa-
rily do away with contract labor as injurious
to the free workingmen.
But what will we do? Let the state en-
ploy the convicts, and whatever they manu-
facture let it be inspected and be of first
quality-equally as good as that manufact-
,ured by free labor--and sold for the high
est market price paid for like products of
free labor. Let the state keep competent

KEEP THE HAT ON.

The question whether men should un-
cover their heads in elevators is again
under discussion, not as matter of ETH
quette but of health. 1t is insisted that
in this way, as there is apt to be a
draaght i'll the movement, there is dan
ger of taking cold aud contracting dis
eases of serious nature. The multi
plication OF bald heads among the
younger and more gallant classes makes
the decision of the question of more
moment. Far greater danger comes un-
questionably from the decorous habit of
uncOvering the head at graveS.s The
death of the late Duke of Clarence is at
tributed to barring the head at the
funeral of Prince VICTOR, which
was on a cold, drizzIy day. Most
large funerals are the cause of
others. The experience of observers gen.
orally furnishes instances where dan
gerous affections, resulting at times in
death, have been contracted in this way.
The best medical journals strongly
deprecate the practice. In a severe or
changeable climate it is clearly unwise
to undergo such exposure. The grow
ing disposition is to keep the head COW
cred in elevators, regardless of any
health considerations. There is no es-
tabIished rule of etiquette, and persons
are likely to be Influenced largely by the
age, dress and looks of the ladies.

CITY HALL CHAT.

St Louis Republic.
A uniform rate of 35 per cent ad va
loren on WOODEN goods will yield the
government larger revenue than the
very high duties of the Mckinley bill,
and for that reason the 35-per-cent rate
should be fixed by the house on woolens
in any bill that proposes wool for the
free list.
But still more compelling reason for
the uniform low revenue rate lies in the
fact that If adopted it would have an
immediate and very great effect il
moving our agricultural surplus to Eu-
rope, operating TO increase the price OF
our surplus and to decrease the price OF
clothing in exchange for it.
Every additional yard of cloth which
would thus enter our trade would "moye
OUT SO much more wheat, cotton and
provisions. Our farmers have never de
rived any advantage from the taxes on
raw wool. These taxes have always
been a disadvantage to them and to the
country, but as they are especially dis
advantageous to our manufacturers free
wool will put them in position 60 com

UNJUST PASSENGERS.

The report of the Minnesota railroad
commission Just issued calls to mind
the prevalent fact in railroad economy
of late that the reductions in rates have
been almost exclusively in favor of
freight transportation. This is not a
condition peculiar to this state or any
section. The statistics gathered in the
census reports attest its general charac-
ter. In the last decade the freight
tariffs have been growing less until in
some quarters the bottom cannot be far
away. while the methods of tranSpOrta-
ton are not radically changed. In
one of his recent dinner party
speeches, Hon. CHAUNCEY DEPEw,
the president of the New York
Central road, gave a good deal
of interesting information in regard to
railroad history and operations. He
SAID among other things that on the
Central in 1866 every ton of freight
hauled over this great line paid it As
cents per mile. This had been becom-
ing less until last year the figures for
the same service were but rs Of a cent.
OF less than One-fifth. In the same time
the passenger rate had been reduced
only from 22eS cents mile to 1.96 cents.
The railroad president was not present
ing the data to contrast the treatment of
the freight and passenger business, but
his figures are pertinent for that use.
They show that while freight trans
portation has been cheapened IS
per cent in that case the passen-
ger fares have been cut only
20 per cent. one has been reduced
three times as much as the other. The
New York road is in no way peculiar in
this matter, although its passenger
rates have always been among the low
est. There is no inherent necessity for
this discrimination, nor is there justice
in it. The great effort of legislative
bodies and commissions has been to
affect freight transportation. Whether
the pass system has had influence upon
the controlling agencies is not consid-
cred. From the nature of the case the
passengers cannot combine and demand
lower rates as the great shippers can.
They can only look to the legislatures
for relief.
