The Looming Mckinley.

T. c. Crawford In the New York Sun.
Mr.. Mckinley, who is on the wrong side
OF fifty years. is still in vigorous health. He
has a good color. and looks at least ten
years younger than he really is. His sue
cess in politics teaches the value, after all,
OF the one-idea man. Mr.. Mckinley has
never scattered. He started out from the
first to become an authority upon the tariff.
He has slept with the tariff all through his
political life, and has never made q speech
upon any other subject. He has solved all
Of the mystery of the schedules OF the most
complicated divisions Of the tariff law, and
has an argument ready for the present
tariff system. He did not arrive at such
knowledge in a day. He began his early
political career by marrying well He was
a country lawyer In Canton. Ohio, with q
very moderate practice and no great in
clination for the law. He was said at that
time TO be very indolent. He married a
rich wife and entered politics He shook
on his seeming incidence after he was
elected q member of the House and gave
himself up entirely to the study Of the one
question which has made him so promi-
nent He has added to this complete knowl-
edge of very important question the easy
address and finished manner of a first-class
actor. He has never made the mistake
OF employing wit or satire In his public
discourses. He has keyed his manner 20

ness matters are serious questions and
those who wish to have the confidence Of
business people should never Joke There
is something almost sepulchral In Mr. Nc

TO HANDICAP BALL CLUBS.
Al Spink's Clever Idea for q Better
Rnce I'm the League.

To handicap the clubs of the base ball
league and thus make the race close and in
teresting is the novel and good idea Of AL
Sphinx, editor of the Sporting News. Mr..
Sphinx says: THE formation Of the twelve
clubs today leaves no possible doubt but
that Boston has a team that outclasses all
the rest. Pittsburg, Cleveland and Phils-
deiphia come next, and then in the third
division Brooklyn, New York and Baltimore
seem evenly matched. st. Louis, Chicago,
Cincinnati and Louisville have been repre-
sented by aggregations that Of late years
nave been fighting for tail-end honors.
Next season the clubs will start out classed
IN ABOUT this order and the interest In the
outcome OF the champion ship contest will be
limited almost TO Boston Pittsburg and
cleveland. Now. this is bound TO have a
bad effect on the attendance in the remain
ing nine cities, and think the league mag
mates Will make a serious mistake II they
90 not endeavor TO effect a change for the
better; My handicap scheme. I am inform
60, is lmpracticable. 1t is claimed that base
ball clubs and race horses cannot be han
dled IN the same manner. but i think DIFF
ferently, TO certain extent. In my mind the
league pennant race would be much more
interesting IL the contestants Were handi-
capped so each and every one of them
would start out with an equal chance of
success. According TO their work the past
season Boston could concede to St Louis
Louisville. Chicago and Cincinnati, say.
twenty games apiece. and then have an
equal show of winning. The difference in
their playing strength is the reason. and
the remaining seven clubs could be handi-
capped on the same line. Three intelligent
players. like Ward, Comiskey and Arson.
with the assistance of few good newspaper
men. who should be given the power to in
terfere when any favoritism was shown,
would make good handicspping board.
Many people with whom I have discussed
the scheme think interested players or club
magnates should not have anything to do
with the handicapping The scheme would
never succeed and become popular unless
fair and impartial handicapping was had"

The Progress., 1893-12-23

M ,RRtAGE of the only daughter OF
the Mackays to an Italian prince was
made occasion, when it occurred ten
years ago, of much roseate comment.
In order to meet the charge that
Prince Ferdinand Colonna was ad-
venturing for money to retrieve de-
cayed fortune he took the bride
without dowry, but there seemed
some consolation in the allowance OF
$3.50 900 a year given by her mother
in addition to gifts worth as much
more. Three children have been
born to the pair. The romance is
ended. Separation for the usual
reasons is sought in the French
courts. The story is only a little
more protracted than so many others
in suppression of its details and a
little more sensational on account OF
the conspicuousness money gives one
of the parties and hereditary but
dilapidated rank the other.
