BOTH GOOD AND BAD.
THE BALL GAME NOT BRILLIANT
NOR YET VERY POOR.
Nsitbsr of tho Pitchers 10 Very Good
shaps-roresi-II1iisT Too strong
for tho yirginisa

The game at Island Park yesterday
afternoon was neither good nor bad; 1t
was lust "so-so." There were many clever
PLAYS and still moro bad ones. but alto
pether tho contest was satisfactory. At
leas, the crauks. after roasting" and ex-
polling one umpire. seemed to think so,
and their caprice is law.
Tho opposing Gladiators were the gray
suited Youngsters from that modern seat of
learning Manchester-and the dirt-be;
crlmed sprinters OF our own beloved
Richmond.
The battery work OF neither team was
good. The Forest Hills were represented
by AnthonS IN the box and Foster behind
the bat, while Enrieht and King were the
double combination Tor the Virginlas'
DAVIS BROKE his FINGER.
II was originally intended that Mr..
Joseph Davis should twlne for the latter
nine. but Just before the game, while
practicing and dreaming of the days when
he will be president OF the great railroad
system With winch be is associated. he
acc identaly broke one of his fingers. This
misfortune did not discourage him, and
when the contest began he went INTO the
box. determined TO conquer with his other
four fingers but. alas his fortitnde did
not meet us proper reward. He was
forced TO give way TO Nike" who had O
sore arm. and therefore could do but little.
"Puss" Luck. Esq. did not make his up;
pearance al the park, and so hlng acted
"a mis- substitute. The latter did tolerabiy
well. considering what llttle practice he
has bad, but. like the ESSAYS OF the sweet
eirl graduates, he showed that there was
room for improvement d.
Anthony and Mike were both pounded
freely. ard their helders were kept
hustlIng ali the time. Foster, the red
haired wonder, was IN good shape as
usual.
APrLEGATE's GEASr-sTAND WORK.
"Cincinnetus Apologize, the gentle
man VINO covers the first Dag and wears
most becoming white blazer, was IN tor
grand-stand work yesterday. He scoopei
up one peppery liner which came scudding
towards his base III a most marvellous
manner. lis true he had To PROSTATE
himself IN his struggle to stop the horse
hide. but once his slender fingers touched
the leather thew clung to 1t with grim
tenacity and caused the runner to perish.
There were several unknowns ON the
Virginia nine. and altogether they pulled
through passing well. upper and Napier
both did good work for the Mancheste-
rams. while Phillips made one pretty
catch. As Cor the rest of the players on
the two teams--well, they did mo- lmmor-
tallZe themselves, and there IL but little
probability that tho public will erect
monuments to their memories TOR what
they did IN the game.

lifelong bi-mstaiIisf, seeks 70 convince
the advocates Of free SILVER" that il will
not bring them bi-metallssm bat ruin !;
that the only practicable solution for sill
yer Is international bi-metallism. tie chief
obstacle TO which Is orr persistence in the
independent purchase and coinage Of de-
precisted silver. John Russell Young, the
president Of the Union bsague. of Phiia-
deiphis, has always been the friend Of
silver; has ably argued for the continued
maintenance of silver as an integral and
vital part Of oar curreny. but be, like Sem
stor Morrill,, wants silver equal TO gold, as
we al do, and, like Senator Morrill,. is
sagacious enough 10 see that the true path
20 true bi-metaiiism is the immediate and
temporary suspension Of silver purchase
The siIver-producing states wiz at some
not far-distant day rejoice that free silver
coinage was not enacted, for. except on in
ternational agreement. il would have
meant general ruin to Us al; with interna-
tionai agreement il means vastly in
creased use Of silver as a moaey metal,
and the only serious obstacle to interna-
tional agreement is the independent pur-
chase and coinage Of silver, with IT'S threat
Of ultimate free silver coinage and the sil-
yer standard. which is the tawdry monetary
flag of inferior commercial civilizations
like Mexico.
The victory Of yesterday Ia the victory
OF practical bi-metallism; victory for
silver; the enactment of free silver would
have been the signal for general rush 10
get gold for silver; fall TO the silver
standard. and such convulsion as would
have involved the whole siIver-producing
public In the general financial wreck Of
matter and crush of worlds"

WHY NOT 2

Sixty years ago the United States
changed the relation of the gold dollar
TO the silver dollar simply on the strength
Of less than one cent difference in their
respective values. That was enough. i'm
the opinion Of congress that included
Webster. Clay. Calhoun. Benton and John
Quincy Adams. shy coinage on those
terms should stop. The difference today
in value between gold and silver dollars il
more than forty cents. the silver dollar
being worth forty cents less than the gold
dollar.
The New York Sss (Dem recites these
familiar financial facts and makes this
very pertinent comment;
The silver men ask the government 10
put dollar stamp on less than "a cents
worth Of silver. The proposition Is too
Mildly sxgrsvagant for Soaer consideration.
YET there still exists a possibility that the
country may ne dragged into perpetratgnr
lust such an ahsur.sfy through the orera.

SENATORS ALIENS REJECTION.

The rejection of Senators Mantle and
Allen by small majority in the United
States senate is probably due to the stress
of the great silver fight in that body.
Botn of these senators would naturally be
counted among the ''silverites;" Mantle
because he was from a state az least sym
pathetic with silver" and Allen because
he has heretofore voted with the SILVER"
men. OF course, neither Mantle nor Allen
could afford to express any opinion on
"silver" while he was candidate for adj
mission. and in our judgment the fact that

are probably some members of the senate
that would be turned In q nicely balanced
case against Mantle and Allen By the
knowledge that their admission meant an
addition of two votes TO the free silver
strength. At all events, 1t is rather signi-

Senator Allen was fairly entitled TO his
seat. Senator Hoar in his very able and
learned majority report showed by argu-
ment from the spirit and intent of the
constitution and by the action of the
senate. notably in the case of Bell, of New
Hampshire. that the trainers of the con-
stitution never intended that any state
should be without full representation in
the United States senate through any sin
of omission or commission on the part of
state legislature. The closeness of the
