THE BASE BALL SEASON,

With the winning of the cup by the
Minneapolis base ball team our sister
city captures all the honors to be had
in the Western league. She holds the
pennant and the cup, and has won
them both by good, hard, honest work.
intelligent management and unf1agging
determination. OF the disappointment
which st. Paul lovers of the national
game have experienced at the outcome
of the seasons play it Is not neces-
sary to speak. The history of base
ball with each succeeding season en-
phasizes more and more plainly what
the times demand. The game has
lost none Of its popularity. 1t will
draw larger crowds than ever before.
The fever that Is in the blood does
not abate. Old-time fans become more
enthusiastic with each welI-plaved
game that they witness, while every
year adds thousands of new devotees
to the worshipers of the pastime that
has stood the test of so many seasons
and so many ups and downs.
But the public has become, and Is
becoming, constantly more sensitive to
excellences and defects Of play. 1t Is
no longer possible to keep up q good
attendance by furnishing an inferior
article. The time was when thousands
of people would get together Just to
see game of ball. They preferred,
of course, that the home team should
win, and they preferred to see some
close and exciting plays; but they
would go and sit out an afternoon all
the same IL the playing CHANGED to be
Of a very cheap order. They viii do
so no longer. They have become con-
noisseurs. They do not demand that
the home team shall always win. You
could fill the grand stand at Aurora
park just as full as ever after the ST.
Paul team had lost ten games In sue

NATrosAL SUBWAY RIGHTS.
City VIII Test Them I'm the Courts
at Once

The corporation attorney Is about to
apply to the district court for an order
restraining the National Subway COM
pany or it's assignee, the North Amer
lean Telegraph company, from tearing
UP certain certain streets for the pur-
poes of extending it's conduits.
Some weeks ago the common council
passed an ordinance declaring the
franchise Of the National Subway COM
pany forfeited. The mayor signed the
ordinance, which was thereafter duly
published. The proceedings to forfeit
the franchise were instituted nearly a
year ago by Aid. Brady, who intro
duced the ordinance. The old board Of
aldermen passed 1t at once. but 1t
was hung up by the assembly commit
tee on streets, before which one hearing
was had In the matter.
The reason OF the forfeiture was the
failure Of the National Subway COM
pany to construct and lay two miles
Of conduf.s within the specified time
agreed upon by the terms Of the fran
cflise. After laying conduits on sub
ways ON portions Of Wabasha, Fourth,
Fifth, Sixth and Robert streets, the
subway company ceased operations
and eventually discontinued the pay
ment Of its taxes. Finally 1T passed
into the possession of the North Amer
lean Telegraph company. On the hear

cost of production finds it's equivalent
In decreased price as surely In silver
as in wheat or shoes. IF you want to
get back to the old ratio Mr.. Guen-
Their concludes his long and interesting
exposition, the only thing to do is to
wipe out the railroads leading into the
silver mining regions. II you look for
the culprit responsible for the cheapen-
ing of silver and the widening out of
the relative ratio, you will find that
the railroads have done 1t. Wipe out
the railroads and perhaps we will go
back to the old ratio. but no legislation
can ever change it, AS we said, this
is novel view, but it seems to be a
sound one. The remedy however, is
not one that will be adopted.

cession, If every one of those games
had been won by their opponents on
merit after a comparatively errorless
game. Good ball is what the people
want to see. Poor ball is something
that they will not stand And the at
tendance diminishes and the receipts
fall off just as markedly after games
won simply because the vanquished
were able to putsrupia worse exhibit
ton than the victors as at any other
time. ~
This Is the lesson which managers
and players both have to learn. A
good base ball team Is a bonanza. It
has been proved year after year In
city after city. It's cash value is great
err today than. -its ever was But the
public has become discriminating. 1t
will not pay money for a poor show.
The man who WANTS. to make a sue
cess of it must do as the manager of a
theater or any one else who deals with
the public; that Is, he must seek to
please the people and cater to their de-
sire. This cannot be done by getting
together team with few strong
players and a lot Of weak spots in it,
nor by sacrificing discipline nor by
anything else that interrefes with the
excellence Of the game To lose a pen
nant costs some disappointment, but it
will sacrifice mighty few dollars If the
pennant losers have been playing good
ball all the time, and giving the au-
dience the worth Of It's money. Nothing
can make any other policy less than
losing one. The thousands of St.
Paul lovers of the game hope that this
city will do better next season. They
hope that it will come out in the lead.
But wherever 1t ends. they do demand,
as a price Of their continued interest
In and patronage of the game, that the
city shall be represented by a lot of
players who play good ball and play
it all the time.

1T WAS UNINrENT1oNAL.
Verdict of the Jury as to SchifsIxy,s
Killing.

Coroner Whitcomb yesterday held an
inquest on the body Of Albert Schifsky.
the fourteen-year-old boy who was
killed by the discharge of a shot gun
at Turtle lake Sunday last. At the
time 1t was supposed that Schifsky had
been killed by the accidental dis
charge Of his own gun. This was SUBJ
stantiated by the statement Of Henry
Lepah, fourteen-year-old chum or
Sch1fsky, who was in the boat at the
time the accident occurred. After the
funeral, however, it was learned by the
parents Of the dead boy that their son
had been killed by the discharge of the
gun held by Lepah. The attention of
Coroner Whitcomb and County Attor-
ney Butler was called to the matter
and an inquest was decided upon.
Yesterday morning a coroner's jury
consisting Of Thomas Ryan, John c.
O'Nefll, Charles Carlson, Mat Rohr, A.
P. Soika and Jacob Knozywski was
empanneled and the jury visited Cal
vary cemetery The body Of Schifsky
was exhumed and the Jurors duly
sworn. The taking of the testimony
was commenced at the town Of Mounds
View. Joseph Moshofsky Jr., testified
to the position Of the body Of Schifsky
in the boat when he arrived at the
scene of the shooting. Henry Lepah
who was in the boat with Schifsky was
Cnen called on TO tell his story Lepaf
who was a companion of the dead bow
was evidently laboring under great ex-
element and was accompanied by his
mother, who sat near him during the
time he was telling the story of the
shooting. 1t appeared from his state
ment that he was afraid to tell the true
circumstances of the killing Of his
playmate to the coroner on Sunday, be-
ing fearful that he would be locked uu
and possibly hung for the crime. The
day following the funeral he became
MISREPRESENTATION and related to his
mother the facts of the shooting. Mrs.
Lepah informed the Schifsky's Of her
sons story and the result was the in
quest.
To the coroner's jury Lepah stated
that Schifsky had discharged both bar
rels of his shot gun at some ducks
few minutes before. Both were crouch
ing in the bottom of the boat when
Schifsky called to the witness to take
his gun and shoot at some ducks which
had settled in the water short dis
lance from the boat The witness said
he took aim at the ducks and Just as he
pulled the trigger Schifsky raised up
in the boat and the contents of the
gun struck him in the head The jury.
after hearing the lads story, returned
verdict that Schifsky came to his
death by the discharge Of a shot gun
In the hands Of Henry Lepah and that
the gun was discharged accidentally
and unintentionally.

ANOTHER INQUIRER ANSWERED..

To the Editor of the Globe.
Kindly answer the following questions:
1. How long after the demonstration Of
silver in 1873 was the first silver dollar
coined?
2. When was the Matthews resolution for
the payment of bonds in silver introduced?
Did it pass? Was it lived up to?
3. Did Mckinley make an assignment for
the benefit Of creditors? F. ]. l..
/. Trade dollars provided for in the
act Of '73 were coined very soon after
its passage. Standard dollars were not
coined until after the act of Feb. %,
1878.
2. The Matthews resolution was in
troduced in the senate Dec. II, 1877;
the senate passed it, by vote Of 43

Quits within the time specified mas

is the final plunge into unconditional
inevitable sequence of all that Mr..
Bryan has said before. 1t is the final
destination and home of every man
who has been bitten with the idea that
values are law-made, and not fixed by
natural forces.
We congratulate Mr.. Bryan, indeed,
upon his frank recognition OF all that
is involved in his position. Only it re-
quires one further act on his part
Let him drop the free silver business
altogether. Silver has nothing to do
with the attitude which he has now
taken. Free coinage becomes, indeed,
one of the most absurd and hating
policies possible to conceive of to a
man who believes that legislation Gre
ates values. and that dollars are de-
termined by law. The crime of 1879
and all the rest of the errors attrib-
uted to the gold bugs would be more
pardonable than Mr. Bryan's own
course in being satisfied with the coin
age of so cents worth of silver into a
dollar when he might just as well use
one cents worth of silver, or half a
thousandth part of cents worth of
paper. Scarcely an argument against
sound money has found it's way to US
which has not resolved itself before
the discussion u,ac lono continued ipf0
a plea for outright fiatism. Every man
on that side of the question must
eventually be inconsistent with him
self or come to the fat basis. Mr..
Bryan is the latest awful example.
We call the attention particularly of
all those persons who believe in a
larger use of silver and are real BIZ
metallists, and also all those who do
believe in free silver, but think that
they are opposed to inconvertible pa
per, to notice Mr.. Bryans full and
complete adoption of the Populistic
theory of money. AS he accepts 1t now,
1t is, indeed, easy to understand If
you can pass a law making anything
on earth dollar, and it then becomes
dollar and is worth a dollar and will
exchange everywhere for commodi-
ties to the value of dollar, then we
want to burn all our text books on
political economy and finance, abolish
the money question or any other ques-
ton, and just pass a law, go home,
and be happy ever after
