Slam did wisely IN accepting the terms

Is It not about time that some one In au-
thortty fndulged In prophecy as to the base
ball probabilities for 1894 so far as the
Washington team Ia concerned? True the
season Of 1888 Is not yet at an end but 1t
Is certatu that Capt. O'Rourkes aggrega-
ton win not achieve anything better than
ELEVENTH place and may even manage to
Gust Louisville from the last hole. With
the situation 50 nearly certain there Is no
necessity for further figuring as to the
near future, but there is a growing desire
for reliable information as to what our
representatives are going to be guilty of
after the snow has once more disappeared

plans for pennant-wtnning do not make
their appearance until our team has set
tied down in twelfth place, but there does

Congress comes In with its eclipsing in

One week from today and the Fffty-third
Congress win commence to be. Its coming
n premature. but not without good reason
and Satisfactory excuse. There Is much for
It to do. and although from one or two
sources come promise Of reform In the
matter and manner Of legislation, he would
be bold who dares prophesy any marked
Improvement In the ac<, Of the national
lawmakers. Unquestionably democratic
In both its branches and with no control
ling force other than that which may be
exercised by q democratic President, be-
lfsvers In the Chicago platform will natur-
ally look for the speedy and effectual ap-
pncation of business principles to Congress
sional deliberations, and may even expect
an early settlement Of the tarin perplexity,
but the chances are that all such unen-
lightened optimists win be doomed to dis
appoin tmenc or at least to communion with
that hope deferred which maketh the heart
sick And this does not mean that great
political party will deliberately fafl TO re-
deem its ante-election promises. but II
does mean that just at this time there are
too many conflicting theories and condi-
lions within the dominating force to render
harmony an Immediate possibility. A con-
siderable percentage of the democratic
party Il honestly IN favor of material re-
duction In import duties. and the men who
are 30 impressed will clamor loudly for
the fulnIlment Of the agreement which was
entered into between the American people
and the democracy when an overwhelming
majority was given the candidate whose
principal support was an anti-protection
platform.
On the other hand are many democrats
who are very far from being in accord with
the statement Of principles on which
Cleveland achieved victory a second time;
they believe IL a certain amount Of pro-
lection and are just as stubborn IN defense
of their doctrine are those whose sole
desire Is Of the iconoclastic variety Then
sorr account must be taken Of the men
who are much more deeply interested In
finance than in the tariff. who regard their
ideas on money standards as Of supreme
importance and who win undoubtedly &C.
cupy a great deal Of the time of both
Senate and House. Very many Of the Con-
gressmen are entirely without experience
IN the legislative field and while their in
tentions may be of the best their lack OF
familiarity with Congressional methods
will surely cause delay. The session Will.
unless all the Indications are astray. be
Of extreme length, and unless the President
or some other great power can success
fully pour a sufficiency of oil upon the
troubled waters. not overrich in the matter
Of practical results.

The country has confidence in President
Cleveland and that confidence was increas-
ed materially when the people saw how he
defended their interests by ignoring Tam
many In his appointment Of James T. Kill
breth as collector of the port Of New York
and Walter a. Bum as appraiser. The Of
fees thus filed are two of the most impor-
fant In the gift of the administration, and
while Tammany said but little and did not
seem to be exerting itself it was really doing
its utmost to secure them for its own ag
grandizement and werl-being- There Is cause
for qualification in the fact that the most
powerful and INSCRIPTIONS Of political ma
chimes has met with defeat. but the joy Is
secondary to that consequent upon the Sc
lection Of thoroughly competent men Both
kilbreth and Bum are men of ability and
believers In the old-fashioned variety Of
honest dealing. Aside from the fact that
Cleveland Is not in any way indebted to
Tammany there il every reason why IT
should receive no consideration; Ii Is purely
q spofls organization. In which the merit OF
the individual Is entirely without weight
