SHOOTING THE CHUTE
The Downward Course of the Wash
ington Ball Team.
REASONS GIVEN FOR IT
Mr.. Wagner viii Join the Club at
Once.
HEROIC MEASURES NEEDED

There is no doubt about 1t. The Washing
ton base ball team is sliding down the to-
boggan-
Mr.. Wagner left this morning for Chicago
to take hand in the melee, and by exer-
cising authority, something which seems
10 have been lacking for some time to en-
dtavor to check the downward career of his
ball team. He may find it necessary to re-
sort to heroic measures. and the base bali
public need not be surprised 10 learn in the
near future of some important changes in
the makeup of the club. Mr. Wagner feels
that he has too much money at stake. and
that the public has supported him too royal
ly to permit him to stand listlessly by and
see his team go to pieces.
Then and Now.
The base ball supporters, and they form
gcod-sized army, cannot understand the re-
markable change that has taken place with
in the past few weeks. Only a short time
ago they saw the Senators apparently safe

after day playing pennant ball, and they
were Wei pleased and Hocked to National

through the short stop hole. The Senators
have Won four games out of the last sixteen
prayed, when they should have won at the
very least seven or eight. And the people
wonder why.

pressed a riotous outbreak and restored
order, One would suppose that the Lead
eers of the strike would be grateful to
President Cleveland, who relieved them
of the unwelcome and damaging coop
GRAFTON of rioters, and left them free to
work toward their goal by their own
peaceful and law-abiling methods.
There are several ways of regarding
President Clevcland's action. If we re-
gard it as an net of good in itself but
one which the President was not compc-
tent to perform, then we are extreme
states rights men, who can find in the
constitution no warrant for our views.
If we regard it as an act had in itself,
then we must believe that the best way
to treat riot is to let it alone. If we
are indignant at the suppression of riot,
then we must be friends of riot. If we
ask organized labor to he indignant. then
we must hold organized labor responsible
for these riotous acts which the Prcsi-
dent put an end to. and the responsibility
for which was disavowed,. in the name
of organized labor, by the leaders of the
strike.-AIilwnukee Sentinel.

The Free Riot Plank.

ut the free riot plank in the Chicago
platform, and this Indignation has ill.,
creased so steadily, that many attempts
have been made, especially during the
last two or three weeks, to explain this
plank away. The most common form of
explanation consists of separating the
plank from what was in the mind of
Gov. Altgeld when he framed it and had
it incorporated in the Chicago platform.
"Object to the free riot plank, do you?'
asks the Bryan Democrat. "Oh, then
interference by federal authorities in lo-
cal affairs" This form of rejoinder be-
trays knowledge i'll the advocate that
his cause is weak. He substitutes,
knowing well enough what he is about,
his paty's description of President
1894 for that conduct itself. He knows.
as everybody knows that the particular
interference in local affairs which the
Chicago platform ''denounces" is Presi-
dent Cleveland's suppression of the Chi
cago riots.
Now it is possible that Gov. Altgcla
dent Cleveland then did, as his duty.
what Altgeld, though it was also and for
different reason his duty, had neglected
to do, but it is impossible for plain per-
son, who believes what he is told. to ull-
derstand why organized labor or its lead.
ers should have bitter feelings toward
the President. While the Chicago riots
were going on, the leaders of the A. II

exherted their followers to be orderly
and informed the public that the destruc

Washington House Of Representatives.
One Saturday night, some forty years
ago, some Western Congressman had

to poker. interspersed with the whisky

whom their revelry disturbed was a
young Methodist circuit rider. Next
day services were held in the cabin
and the captain asked the young preach-
er, whose name was Milburn, for q SER
mon. His address was Il fearless ar
raignment of the Congressmen's un-
worthy amusements. When he had de-
Nvered 1t, he retired to his stateroom
and awaited the result: for that was a.

Bad for the Novel.

Here is II bit of a story, borrowed
from the American, which may prove
Il comfort to writer's whose books are
badly treated by the press. Bad colds;
are more or less common.
Mrs. Carlyle had abundant reason to-
know that bodily condition had much!
to do with the work of literary per-
son. Once when Miss Jewsbury, writ
er, was staying with the Carlyles at
Chelsea. q caller inquired for her.
, YES" was Mrs. Carlyle's answer,
Geraldine Jewsbury is here. but she
is in her room with bad cold, and is
reviewing novel;" She paused and
then added grimly. as if thinking to her
self:
Il am sorry for the novel tllat is re-
viewed by Geraldine when she has .

London who furnishes amusement and
entertainment for all kinds of social
gatherings. having men of family on
his staff, who in the gnise of guests
manage to insure an enjoyable even

A couple of guincas will engage the
services of a person of "good social

art of entertaining others as to put
everybody at once into the brightest of

proportionately large outlay of fifty dol
