WHY DO WE PERMTT ITg
Frank G. Carpenter, the well known
raveIer. writes from HankoW China:

Frank @. Carpenter, the well known
traveller, writes from Hankow, China:
The silver question is far more i'm
portant matter out here in Asia than 1t
has ever been in America The Japa-
nese are trying to uphold their end OF
the financial question by raising their
prices, but the five hundred odd millions
of Chinese do their business in copper
cash on a silver basis, and the cost OF
their imports is now just double what IL
was few years ago cashed sou IN
gold the other day and received 500 IN
silver for II. and American dollars are
now quoted in China at 212- he i'm
Forts have to be bought with gold and
sold for silver, and the prices must, OF
course, be doubled for the merchants to
come out even. The prices of labor and
of Chinese products have not risen,
and the thousands and millions
of Chinese farmers who are now
coming to the cities to buy
their supplies of cotto1s and other for
eign things are charged double prices.
They cannot understand 1t, and they
won't pay them. They think they are
being cheated and they won't buy at all.
They simply say they can't afford the
goods, and they go back home and cut
up their old gowns into pants for the
little girls and pettlcOats for the boys.
The result viii be a great falling off in
China5 imports from Europe and a merI-
ca, and il will act sort of protective
tariff to depress production. The empire
now has a foreign trade of something
like $300,O0O,000 year.
Thus we see that the conspiracy of the
gold plutocrats to destroy the silver cur
rency of the world not only affects Amer
lea and India, but it strikes at the pros
perity of the whole world Whole Asian
populations will perish of starvation, no
doubt, before the full results of the con-
spiracy are ended. We perhaps can not
blame the Chinese and Hindoos for their
ignorance Of what causes their misery,
but what are to say of the dense stu
pidity of the American blockheads who
allow the Rothschilds and their allies in
Wall street to force them into poverty
and wreck their business? 1t is an i'm
putation against our intelligence as
Americans to permit such a plot to be
carried through.

ash does not do as well in Central park
as in some other localities 1t seems to
be especially liable there to attacks from
those insects that are its enemies, and
its general growth is not so vigorous as
could be wished. The laborers employed
in Central park are divided into seven
gangs, each one being under the direc-
ton OF a section boss whose duty it Is
to see that the turf, the walks and road
ways in his section are kept in order
Working in connection with each of
these gangs of men are two gardeners,
but they are directed in their work by
general head gardener and are liable at
any time to be temporarily transferred
from the section to which they are at
tached to some other section where they
may be more needed for the time being.
The carpenters work together or sepa-
rately, according to circumstances, but
independently of the section gangs. 1t
is the duty of the man who has them in
charge to see that the various buildings,
of which there are about 40 in the park,
and the arbors and the benches are kept
in repair. In winter a great deal of
work is done in the park greenhouses,
and practically all the men spoken Of
are kept busy the year round

NEW YORK, May 19.-It takes about
500 men All the working hours of the
rather more than 800 secular days Of
the year to keep up the beauty of Central
park, the biggest pleasure ground Of the
biggest city in America These men are
directed by Superintendent Parsons of
the New York park department, who
finds that his duties have tendency to
absorb all his waking hours, including
many that should be given over to sleep.
Central park contains about $40
acres, of which about 400 are covered
with rising off 500, 900 trees, most of
them planted since 1857, the year of the
parks opening. There are larger parks
in the United States, but there is prob

ably none to the identifying Of which
more money or more intelligent care has
been devoted. Though Superintendent
Parsons is obliged to give much atten-
ton to the many smaller parks, by far
the greater portion of his time is taken
up in the care of this magnificent area
of sward and grove, of shaded walks
and pleasant driveways, of picturesque
arbors and FURNISHED water sheets.

the other members are Gallagher, Moffit,

to st. Louis for Gleason. Hemming and
Esper were landed upon the payment of
about 81, 900, and McMahon ana Robinson
were Baltimore players when Haulon took

list does not foot up oyer 1885, 900, and that
the club will clear more than that amount
on the season.

Cycling, of England, says: "To put up q

BASE BALL,
1T CAME TOO LATE.
Scranton Wins this Last Game Of the
Season.

Season.
About 500 spectators saw the To-
cal baseball team take the men from
Providence into camp Saturday. 1t
was the last Eastern league game of
the season, which accounted for a
fairly large attendance of many who
were there to take advantage of final
opportunity. The number Of cranks
might haye been greater.
Scranton played game full Of steam
and effort; the visitors put mp very
listless front, as the result would make
no material difference in their per
cantage. These two conditions and
Umpire Hopewell's generosity to Ssran.
ton kept the game well balanced and
sent the crowd home well satisfied.
Whitehead was on third, Phelan at
second, Cahill in right and Rogers
backstopping
The run-getting was begun by Provi-
dence in the fifth inning, when Cub
Stricken crossed the plate. Scranton
Tailed one in the next inning. two in
the eighth and another in the ninth.
1t was impossible for Cahill to swing
his stick and miss the bail; he had
four hits to his credit. Johnson at bat
and in the field was ever valuable as
occasion required. Quarles had his
best playing clothes on and pitched a
good game.
Lovett, who pitched for Providence,
was very generous and did not seem to
begrudge Scranton the ten hits scored
off him. The score:

Something new for which all were
grateful was the quality Of music fur

a severe shaking up at last weeks

harp player performed on their respec-

everybody.
The first event was team race. DR..
B. H. Throop arrived late and was
barred from entering. 1t took three
heats to decide it. In the first heat G.
M. Sanderson's fine pair came under
the wire easy winners. In the second
and third heats j. L. Crawford's well.
matched blacks gave fine exhibition
of speed and steadiness. They won
both heats and the race.
The 2.50 class was not trotted, but
the 2.4O race was a splendid exhibi tion
of speed.
The scoring in the 3-minute race was
wretehed, but when the horses did get
away they held a steady gait and it
was nip and tuck for honors. DR..
Houser's Poor Richard won both heats
and the race, making fast time in the
first.
The last event was the most interest
ing on the programme. Four heats
were required to decide it. Abigail,
Dr. Houser's brown mare, won the
race. The first heat was taken by Star
Dudley by length. The second was
taken by Abigail, who would have also
taken the third but that her harness
broke coming down the stretch. Duke
