Base Ball Notes.

The PRESS passed a compliment on
Manager Longs Bangor team and the
News of that city endeavors to return
the same by asserting that Portland will
finish eighth. The PRESS will not take
back what it said about Longs team,
but will amend it by adding that talk
of the kind in the News Is very cheap
"guff." What the season will develop
remains to be seen. but the fact remain
that the Portland aggregation, on paper
at least, is 30 per cent stronger than Ban
gor's, andTmore than that is handled by
a man who has won remnants in the New
England league, something that Bangor
will dream over a good while before it
realizes it. Jack Sharrott must have

Rookland would make no mistake in
signing Corbett. He is good ball play

Bangor is after Mike Roach, the we'll
known catcher, and stands very good
show of getting him. The directors have
had considerable correspondence with
Roach, and he is willing to come to
Bangor providing the proper terms can
be made.
A Baltimore paper says Chummy Gray
has the making of good pitcher, but
requires about one more year, to gain
experience enough to fit him for league
company. Gray would be gladly well

the Argentine congress, May 10, bill
will be INTRODUCED providing for the
granting of yearly subsidy Of 800, 900

THE TARIFF AS AN ISSUE.
MIR. Cleveland Said To Prefer that to the
Currency Question.

Washington, April lit is thought
that very few Democrats besides Mr.
Cleveland would be willing to have tariff
the chief issue. Many, even, who are
not friendly to silver would prefer to
have the money question TO the front.
Mr.. Cleveland is almost alone in wishing
to be confronted with the question Of
McKinleyism. The tariff reform cry has
heretofor carried him to victory and he
wants to avoid the money issue with the
democrats ON the silver side, and he has
no constituencies about the unpopularity of
the German Wilson tariff act, having
himself been the first to denounce it,
A few men in Congress who sympa-
thized with his denunciation of this
measure would be willing to have a repe-
tition of the tariff fight. feeling chat If
the party suffered defeat, the condemna-
| ton would fall upon the legislation
which Mr.. Cleveland disapproved, and
not upon tariff reform itself, nor on Mr..
Cleveland 1t is believed further, that
Mr.. Cleveland would sieZe with great
satisfaction an opportunity to accept the
Democratic nomination il he could have
Mckinley for an opponent and McKin-
| ley protection as the issue. Democrats
generally entertain no DOUBT what the re-
suit of such contest would be, but sev
eral things Mr.. Cleveland has said on
the subject Indicate strongly that he
thinks true tariff reform champion"
could win, If McKinleyism were the is
sue. He would like the Democratic par
ty to come out for single gold standard,
| but he could tolerate silence on that ques-
ton, letting his record speak, if tariff
could be forced to the front.
But Mr.. Cleveland stands pretty nearly
alone in this opinion The danger which
practical legislators see In trying to stand
| up to that issue is that the party has
passed the point when they can 60 to
She country with promises on this old
subject. If tariff is the issue, the party
record, not the party promises. will be
passed upon by the people. The party
has already performed They cannot
hope to appeal successfully for another
chance, on the same issue, unless they
are prepared to defend what they have
done and can get proper Endorsement OF
| that.
All politicians who are in the habit Of
watching public sentiment are satisfied
that people are trying to make up their
minds where the responsibility lies for
the business. depression which the ooun-
try has been suffering. On this conclus-
ion will depend the issue.
| Ii tariff is accepted as the issue it will
necessarily be because the public hold
the German Wilson tariff legislation re-
sponsible for the hard times. What this
would lead to is obvious. The voters are
looking for some one to hit.

The gamey salmon has alrendy begun

before we are aware of it, the canoe of
the fisherman will be again stealthily
padded over Names unriyalled lakes

the fishermen, and the fairy tales of
