DIAMOND DOTS

George Dean has recommended
First Baseman Herbert, formerly
OF the FL Paso team, to the local
management.
dad" Phelan has accepted an
offer to captain the Chattanooga
team Of the Southern League and
will leave in few days.
The salary limit OF the Texas
Southern League is fixed at $500
fOr,eleven men, but it is charged that
Houston and Galveston fans will
not be satisfied with anything but a
81, 200 team, and that the players
Of these cities will receive that
much.
The Galveston fans are urging
Manager Works to sign George
Page for the Island City team.
Page is good hitter and a good
all-round player.
Local fans say that Ted Sullivan,
OF Houston, will have the best team
in the league, and that it will cost
not cent less than ,20Oa month.
The prediction has already been
made that Houston, Galveston,
Dallas and Shreveport will have to
decide who wins the champion
ship, and that San Antonio, Aus
tin, Fort Worth and DenisOn-Sher-
man will have it out between
themselves for last place.
George Walker will return from
New Orleans today, where he took
in the Mardi Gras. While in the
Crescent City he made inquiry
about ball players for the San
Antonio team, and it is expected
ke will bring home good news.
The San Antonio cranks say
they do not expect apennant WIN
ming team, but want one that will
be able to at least break even in
a series on the home grounds with
any team in the League. A team
like this, they say, will receive
their hearty support.
Jones Irvine is in receipt Of
letter from Jack Pettiford, who
wants to come to San Antonio. He
played in this city in 1888 and later
in Waco. He was one of the most
popular players in the league.
Mr.. Irvine has written to Presi-
| dent McNealus at Dallas inform
ing him that everythingis moving
along nicely in San Antonio.
Secretary James Nolan, of the
TeXas-Southrrn League, is in Aus
tin, where he is putting in his
time getting the Capital City club
in good shape. He may come to
San Antonio before returning to
headquarters at Galveston to see
how matters are working over here.

Ex-Sccrctary Lincoln Thinks the Presi.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26-Robert Il. Lincoln,
vorite candidate for the presidency, is GER
tainly not anxious for the honor accord
ing to statement he made to a reporter
81 can imagine no greater misfortune to be-
fall me- said Mr.. Lincoln, during the con
versation, 'than to become president of
the United States"
''The honor of being chief executive of
65,OO0,OO0 of people?" suggested the re.
porter.
'The honor is in the abstract" replied
Mr. Lincoln. IF the president was mere
ly confined to the executive duties of tho
office, that might be all right. But
know what its trials and cares are; know
all there is in politics. Even to the clerks
in the offices the president is consulted
and bothered about appointments. He is
pestered to death by every man who has
friends in congress or in Washington, or
other places, who are supposed to have any
influence.
when I was secretary of war dis
charged q 81 200 n year clerk, and those
backing him Immediately went to Prcsi-
dent Arthur and wanted him rcinstated.
The president sent for me and asked mo
to put him back, and told him could
not do it because he was not competent
for the place. That was the end Of that.
The heads of the departments should be
held responsible and make their appoint
ments. 1t is a matter that should go no
further than the cabinet officers.
'If that Were the case the president
might have comparatively easy time.
But now he is allowed no peace at any
time. His office is crowded from m:rning
until night, and he has to hide hin.S.f in
order to do executive business. 1t is for
that reason that.I view with utter abhor-
renee even the mention Of my name for
that high place"

HILL TO STUDENTS
New York Senator Talks Politics
at Ann Arbor.
FINANCES HIS PRINCIPAL THEME.

Opposes the Yrescnt Issues Of Legal Tender
and Lays Down His Platform Of Reform
in Natfonal Policies on Other Questions
Thinks the Silver Question May Settle It.
self-Ex-sccretary Lincoln Not Yearning
for the National Presidency.
ANN ARBoR, Mich, Oct. 26.-Twcnty-
five hundred students of the University Of
Michigan gave close and appreciative at
tention last night to an address by Sena-
tor David B. Hill, of New York. Senator
Hill spoke for an hour and three quarters
on "Old Landmarks" and in the course
Of his speech enunciated some radical crit
icisms Of the present system of issuance OF
treasury notes as legal tender money. The
senator reviewed the history surrounding
the forming of tho United States constitu-
tion, and incidentally commended Thomas
Jefferson as one Of the greatest, if not the
greatest. Of the carly American leaders.
He cited the decision by the supreme
court in the income tax cases. as an in
stance in which the old landmarks of the
constitution in relation to taxation had
been adhered to by the country's highest
tribunal.
Needed Reforms In National Policies.
The reforms in our national policies
which the speaker declared to be the most
urgent at present are as follows: Presi-
DENTAL terms Of six years; the election of
United Senators by direct vote of the peo-
pie; the empowering of the president to
veto separate items Of appropriation bills;
the abOlishmeut of the present system of
issuing legal tender notes by the govern
ment. Senator Hill upheld his claim that
congress has intrinsically no power to de.
clare its promissory notes to be money, OF
to issue notes continuously without hav-
ing the specie with which to redeem them.
Believes I'm the "Dollar of the Dads"
He was not inclined to doubt the pa
triotic motives of those who inaugurated
the system during the time of war. Crit
icism, he said, should be reserved for those
who pcfpetuated the system and made ii
an unending chain of note issue. The re.
turn to one "old landmark" namely the
hard money dollar Of our daddies" was
strongly urged. As to the silver issue,
Senator Hill spoke hopefully of its ulti
mate solution, remarking that on account
of the recent discoveries of gold in Africa
etc, the question may, perhaps, be settled
without the aid of either statesmen OF
politicians
