Paterson defeated Wilmington on
Saturday at Paterson by score Of 16 to
4 This was In great measure due to
the inability OF one Mr.. Packard, VIII
essaye ed to pitch for Wilmington to play
ball Packard spent the greater part OF
last season in a futile endeavor 10 W In a
game for the Petersburg club OF the
Virginia State League. he was unsucess
full. but this WAS partly due to the poor
fielding team he had behind him.
But this was not exactly the case on
Saturday Indeed 1t was much the other
way. The falling down Of Mr.. Packard
Was responsible greatly for the six errors
with which Wilmington must be
credited. 1t is generally accepted fact
In baseball that rs the pitcher is so will
the rest Of the team besome. The pitcher
or alleged pitcher permitted Paterson
to got fifteen bsse hits. This could have
nothing but depressing and demoraliz

In striking contrast to the result of

Wilmington gave the local team as many
runs as 1t was allowed on Saturday and
gathered In four more for itself than
Paterson had, making a score OF 20 to 4.
Paterson made thirteen hits but many

Probably $500 people saw the gam
and though they rooted strongly sRSinst
the visiting team they could do no harm,
as Wilmington played too fast ball to be

Bryan Writes on the Issues

New YORK, Nov. 3O.--ln the De-
cember number of the North Ameri-
can Review published tomorrow.
Mr.. Bryan presents an article in
which he discusses the result of the
election as affecting the status of the
silver question The issue OH which
the election turns he describes as
ssthe greatest issue ever submitted TO
the American people in time OF
peace" "
The declaration of the convention
in favor of the free coinage of silver
forced upon the people of this cou1-
try study of the money question in
general The result Of this study,
Mr.. Bryan declares to be temporary
defeat, but permanent gain for the
cause of bimetallism. Mr.. Bryan
regards it as a significant fact that
the silver sentiment was strongest
where the question had been longest
considered, that is to say, in the
west and south. The gold sentiment
prevailed in the eastern States, but
even there, in Mr.. Bryan's opinion,
the cause of b:metallism made more
rapid progress than any cause ever
made in such short time The
odds against bimetallism in the mid
die States were very great, In Wis
consin and Minnesota, the Demo-
cratic party declared against silver
in the convention which sent dele
gates to Chicago. In Michigan, the
convention was nearly equally di-
vided and there was "a bitter contest
within the party in Iowa. Indiana
and Ohio, while in Illinois the hostile
influence of the Chicago press was
greatly felt,
Mr.. Bryan express g surance
that the election can be - no means
regarded as conclusive settlement
of the questions at issue. This con-
fdence is confirmed by the history of
recent elections. Mr.. Greeley, was
defeated in 1872, and yet Mr.. Tilden
was elected in 1876. Mr. Blaine
was defeated in 1884, but Mr.. Har-
rison was elected in 1883. The Re-
publican victory of 1888 was follow
ed by the Democratic victory of 1890
and the election of President Cleve,
land two years later.
Mr.. Bryan counsels the Republl-
can party to remember that thousands
of Republicans have been held to
their party this year by. the pledge
that they will try to secure lnterna-
tional bimetalism.
In regard to the gold standard
Democrats, Mr. Bryan is assured that
they cannot do as much harm in 1860
as they have done this year
"They cannot" he says, "disguise
themselves again. The contest tor
financial independence will go on.
We undertook the contest with a
disorganized army; we emerged
from it united and disciplined
force, without the loss of a soldier.
We are ready for another contest.
We belive that we are right, and be-
lieving that right will finally triumph,
we face the future firm io the belief
that bimetallism will be restored" F."

ing that Tie collection of a poll tax
cannot Be made BY sale Of exempt prop
sesty the Supreme Court said to-day con
nerning the constitutional provisions on
this subject it's evident that the COZ
yessipn had before it for consideration
two antagonissic propositions. one to
levy a poll tax. arevenue measure, and
70 make its payment compulsory; the
soaner 60 impose a tax as one Of the
many devices for excluding from the
fancbisesa large Q um Der of a class of
persons, which class : vas impracsoa-
sble wholly g exclude aud not desirable
wholly to admit. In our opinion the
clause was primarily intended by the
trainers Of the Constitution as a clog
upon the franchise. and secondarily
aud incidentally only as q means Of
revenue. Itis evident the more the
payment of the tax is made compulsory
the greater will be the number by
whom It will be paid. and therefore the
less effective will be the clause for the
purpose it was intended. 1t cannot be
denied .has it was the purpose Of the
convention to declare different rule 10
reference to property subjected to taxa.
stion and that which vas exempt, aud
when we consider the fact that a very
large proportion of those whom it was
thonght desirable to exclude from the
exercise of the franchise own no other
property than that which had for macy
years been exempt from taxation, the
conclusion becomes irresistible that il
was ietended to leave the payment ol
the tax to the voluntary action of shose
who owed no other than non-taxable
property. There are hundred thou
sand negroes aud hundreds Of white
men who cannot vote unless they pay
this 50 poll tax. aud who never viii
pay unless forced, SO little do they care
for the franchise. However. they are
not waited.

Business Men Pay for Course in Eiec-

Fail to Receive.


LOS ANGELES. CAL, June 7.-some
time ago a nicely dressed, glib-tongued
young man came to his city. He gave as
his name 7. P. Hornsby, and claimed to
be representing the National Electric
School of Chicago. Soon afterward he be-
gan organizing a class in electrical engi-
neering. He met with great success and
soon had class of sixty, nearly all the
pupils being business men who, before
joining, inquired particularly if the course
would be a practical one. Hornsby as
sured them that it would be, and said that
the lessons would be illustrated by ap-
paratus which he would furnish. The
class $50, and nearly all deposited notes in
the bank, which have since been paid,
amounting to about $1,000 in all.
Chief Engineer NIssley of the Los An
geles Railway Company was engaged as
teacher OF the class. Among the members
was E. M. Wade of the firm of Wade &
Wade, analytical chemists and assayers.
Yesterday Wade said:
"Hornsby, who organized the class, is
gone and all his promises have been bro
ken. The only apparatus we have re-
ceived is little box of gewgaws. Nissley
has been lecturing to the class, which has
been meeting in the Currier block, and he
has not been paid for his work We have
had a good deal of spicy correspondence
with the National Electrical School in
Chicago, but are unable to get it to send
US apparatus or TO carry out the promises
of the agent. We understand that he is
working the same S3heme in other places
