President Byrne will make no approaches to Lovett, who will have to go to Brook lyn if he wants job.
 Thomas Burns of the Chicagos is wanted by the Pittsburg club to captain and play third base on that team. An son is reluctant about letting him go, but says he would like to see Tommie made manager of the Pittsburg club. Il is likely that deal will be made and the transfer consnmmated in a few days.

 There was a large attendance at the game on the West End grounds yester- day, between the Acmes and the Yale Sophomores. The home team played a faultless game and won easily. The visitors fielded well, but could not fathom Carmody's curves. The battery work of Carmody and Fox was of gilt edge order, and Jack Freney, at second, made two beautiful stops.

A BLAINE SCHEME

The friends of HRRRIsoN are judi
ciouS in insisting upon instructions for
him in their state conventions. They
have apparently discouraged into re-
trement all the other aspirants who
were likely to develop Dooms of any
serious volume. BLAIR can hardly get
a complimentary vote from his own lit
tie state, and Michigan does not want
to stand alone for ALGER. Since Gull
LON has left the track in Illinois the
ocal conventions are instructing for the
president. About all the delegates yet
elected in any state are so instructed.
Safety for BEN will be secure d
by having a clear majority of
the delegates SO bound. They
would not dare to do less than vote for
him on the first ballot. His nomination
would thus be assured. The danger to
him is that BLAINE is to be toned up, and
the crowd is to be persuaded that his
hectic hues are the rejuvenated color
ings of real physical strength and
health. In the failure of the hostiles to
HARRISON to find any new material
available to defeat him, they are reviv-
ing the old BLAINE racket as the resort
of desperation. Special dispatches from
Washington to Eastern papers outline
the scheme. The first claim is that the
secretary has come back to his post in
superb health. He has the elastic
ity and buoyancy of youth. There
has not been since the days
of miracles such an astonishing revival
of dilapidated forces. He has been in
duced to eonfide to friends who share
the confidence with the public that he
regrets his withdrawal letter, and will
never write anything of the sort again.
The hope and salvation of the party
are to be found in him alone. The cul-
mination is to be stampede in his favor
at Minneapolis. ALI efforts are to be
put forth from this time on to prevent
the states from instructing for HARRI-
SON, and, if majority can be held
away, HARRISON is to be scared out of
the way or Knocked out by the BLAINE
catapult.

HIDE AND SEEK.

The political situation grows more
complicated every hour. Yesterday
morning the GLOBE offered suggestion
by which the conflicting claims of the
great Minnesota Republican trlumylrate
might be gratified, but new difficulty
presents itself today which would tax
the ingenuity of a craftier kingmaker
than this paper. The Honorable A. X.
MCGILL, who for several years has con-
tented himself with the joys of bucolic
life at st. Anthony Park. has yielded to
the solicitations of his admirers ard
formally consented to allow the gubtr-
material nomination to "seek" him. lie
SAYS over his hand and seal that this
is peculiarly year OF ''hide and
seek" and announces that he is willing
to play the game along with the rest of
the boys, fairly and with true sports
manlike spirit. He will not unduly eX-
pose himself to the dangers of the pre-
lIminary skirmish, lest his ambition to
be .'it' might be too conspicuous; ana
on the other hand he will not secrete
himself so closely that he cannot be dis
covered If he is wanted. The GLOBE
thinks this is a very wise programme
for our local sage. 1t would be haZ-
ardous indeed if he should ap-
pear too noticeable OH the land
scape while rude missiles are flying
in advance of the convention; and,
again, it would not be safe if he should
seek too deep cover, lest his existence
should be forgotten in the general ex-
cltement, and he be rescued from his
concealment only after he has COM
pIetely persisted. He proposes to fol-
low middle course, and as long as he
does there is no reason to fear for him.
But for the other equally great men of
his party who are competing for the
prize. the GLOBE has only sympathy
because of this additional reason for
alarm. It many more men of his ealiber
and complexion enter the lists. there
will be battle of giants i'll which some
one will necessarily get hurt This
some one, however, will not De Mr.. Nc

CHINESE EXCLUSION.

The Chinese exclusion act which
passed the house the other day with
such unanimity is not the fairest or the
most intelligent sort Of legislation. we
have a treaty with China which permits
Immigration under certain conditions
and limitations, and it is not the prov
inee of congress to arbitrarily abrOgate
its solemn provisions. If it seems the
part of wisdom to inteTpoSe additional
barriers against inroads from the East,
the proper channel of procedure is
through our diplomats, rather than
through our lawmakers.
But, in any event, the immigration
problem should be treated i'll its ell
tirety if it is taken up at all. Objec-
tionable people are coming to our shores
from all corners of the earth, and there
is great opportunity for some wise
statesman to devise the machinery
which will check this alarming evil.
But the basis of discrimination and ex-
clusion must be something else than
race. 1t is un-Ameriean to deny man
the privileges of residence or citizen
IL nS 10 OIliVI MiOO ANbONl w NhJOJ
them, simply because certain sort of
blood flows in his veins, or because he
speaks a certain tongue. Our gates
should open to the worthy of every ma
tionality and closed against the danger
Gus and the criminal. The new Chinese
exclusion act is not shaped on this mold.
The Northwest is particularly inter-
ested i'll this measure, because friendly
relations with the East promise the
most important results to us in the
future. Every new railroad built to the
Pacific and every new steamship line
established between the coast and the
ports of Asia hasten the time when the
products of the Orient will be distrib-
uted over the world from this region.
If the government will hold off its hands
and nut no difficulties in the way, st.
Paul and Minneapolis will some day be
The center for this trade, where the
wealth of the East and the United
States will be exchanged. Any legisIa-
ton which will leopardize the realiza-
ton of this ambition is hostile to this
section, and it is the duty of our repre-
Sentatiyes to oppose it.

IN WISCONSIN, TOO.

The Democratic governor in Wiscon-
sin is not taking any hasty action about
calling the legislature together to make
a new apportionment since the court
pulled to pieces the ungainly fabric of
the last session. If it is the fact that
under the old system the grotesque
features were devised rather to shape
districts for influential individuals than
for party advantage, the Judicial lcono-
claSm is specially commendable. There
will be no great difficulty in forming
districts politically satisfactory without
fracturing any of the legal proprietes.
The point of more interest outside is the
question being agitated whether the leg
islature shall not also make provisions
for selecting the electors by congress
SiOnaI districts, as in Michigan. In the
discussion going Oil in the press OF the
state over the subject, some leading Re-
publican papers concede that the dis
trict method is fairer and more in ac-
cord with the spirit and purpose of our
form of government than the present
state vote plan. There is far less liza
biIity in it to defeat the popular will.
In 1876 TILDEN had about 250,OG0 more
votes than HAYES. and yet the latter
spent four years bobbing around
in the seat ,TILDEN should have
filled. Even HARRISON fell short of
CLEVELAND 100000 four years ago.
This is obviously undemocratic and
unfair. The man with the larger vote
should have the preference. The dis
trict system will not fully remedy this.
but it will make the margins the wrong
way small and infrequent. The Re-
publican opposition TO this is based
upon the theory that Wisconsin is Re-
publican state, and the Democrats want
to steal part of their loaf. The Demo-
cfatS do not concede that it will keep
up its Republican gait this time, and
claim that they may be the donors in
this departure. 1t is a matter in the ex-
elusive control of the state, and the out
side world can only look Oh and grumble
or approve.

PROTECTION NEEDED.

In the narrative published in the
daily papers yesterday it was shown
that even senators of the party that cor
rails the political virtues are not entirely
exempt from the dangers that beset
confiding people with swollen pockets.
Several of them from the extreme West
had been victims Of Sharpers at the
fayorite game of Western politicians.
Perhaps the sectional designation could
be dropped. A recent incident shows
that ambitious members of the house
may also have annoyances. One of each
party having occasion to make a speech,
and feeling modest distrust OF
his own abilities, bought speeches
prepared, and perhaps kept in stock
by enterprising and brainv gem
tlemen who are denied opportunities to
use them III person. 1t is not an I'M
common thing for statesmen, and in
England there have been cases where
preachers purchased the efforts they
delivered. In the case Of these two con-
gressmen, who are from New York state,
The mistake was that they both bought
and delivered the same speech. The
annoying fact was discovered by some
deliver into the Congressional Record.
AS the speeches were designed for home
use, there was danger tina some copies
might be seen in the wrong districts.
There are presidents for this blnnder,
but there ought to he some protection
for congressman against its recurrence.
When one pays for an exclusive speech
there should be no double dealing.

LAND SEEKERS

The crowd moving on to the Sisseton
reservation on the 18th will be but a
squad in comparison to the throng that
will iostle over each other on the same
date in the new regions opened in the
Oklahoma range. Not more than five
or six thousand can obtain claims Oh

Indians have culled ont the choice parts.
1t is computed that fully 10000 people
will be in the mad scramble for the
Cherokee and Arapahoe possessions.
The roads and trains are gorged with

that these lands are of more uncertain
value than the Sisseton ones. They are

is a strong probability that lands so far

While the Republicans are in appre-
hensive tremors over the prospect that
the third party movement in the North
west will lose them some of the states
that have never faltered i'll the presi-
dental contest, and make fatal gaps in
their lines, they have wistful eyes
turned southwark. One of the organs
makes computations in dgures to show
that they can gain the electoral vote OF
several Southern states by the diversion
of free coinage Democrats to the new
party by reason of the failure of the
Democratic majority III the house to
pass the BLAND bill. The states
especially indicated as hopeful for
them are the Virglnias, North Car
DINA, Tennessee and Arkansas. In
all of these there is a strong white
element i'll the Republican party, with
a fair organization, and the Democratic
maiorities are rot large enough to stand
any very great losses. If this theory had

VENEZUELA REVOLT.

the Insurgents.
NEW YORK. April G. A Caracas
cablegram to the Herald affirms that it
is no longer a secret that VeDezuela's
chief magistrate is in constant
fear OF being assassinated. Ev-
cry possible precaution has been
taken to protect the presidents life, but
the throwing of dynamite bombs the
other day frightened the government so
much that it has not yet recovered its
equan unity. In this city the reyolu-
tioniSts have made considerable head
way. Their emissaries have invaded
the ranks OF the police force of Caracas,
upen whose loyalty the administration
has SO stoutly relied, and it is said that
many of the police have deserted and
gone over TO the insurgents.
President Paiacio spends most of his
time in his mansion comforting with bis
cabinet. The friends of the supreme
court Judges. ami of the federal coun
seliors, who have been imprisoned by
his orders, are very indignant at
what they characterize as dictatorial
and tyrannical measures. Palaclo's
high handed methods. instead of
subduing, have increased the bitterness
entertained against him. Gen. CreSpo,
the leader of the insurgents, continues
to receive the adheSionS to his ranks
from all parts of the republic. Among
his forces are many of the best fighting
material Of the country. With even
numbers any conflict between his men
and the government forces would surely
result III triumph for the former.
