Upon a cursory examination, it would
appear that the question involved in the
case Of Amos Rusie against the base ball
magnates is whether slavery has been
actually or only nominally abolished in
this country. If the magnates enjoy the
right Of perpetually reserving a player
and preventing him from exercising his
own free will as to where he will sell his
labor then the player IS the slave of the
magnates so long as they are pleased to
hold him as such. 1t is against reason
to think that the court will hesitate to
give Rusie his release, and also award
him damages for the high-handed and out
rageous manner in which he has been
treated by the magnates.

Creditable TO Cleveland.
Charleston News and Courier Dem.).


The outcome Of the Venezuelan I'M
pleasantness is distinctly creditable to Mr..
Cleveland and to the admirable conduct
of Mr.. Cleveland's Secretary Of State, the
Hon. Richard Olney, who has never lost
his head and never betrayed his temper
except when Il was advisable for the pur-
poses he had in view. He has been as po-
lite as Salisbury. and far more effective.
When the British diplomat was doubtful
or obscure, he asked for light; when the
Englishman tried to cut across corners he
brought him back to the middle Of the
road When Salisbury manifested signs
of distress, and the sun was hot and the
ford seemed far away, as the New York
Sun puts It. Mr.. Olney built a bridge for
the retreat Of his opponent from an un-
tenable position, and the latter is going
over 1t with great alacrity." 1t is well,

The rumor that the President may APP
point Congressman Turner Of this state
TO the vacant judgeship of the court Of
claims. in the District of Columbia, Is
gratifying to his friends. Mr.. Turner
would wear the ermine with dignity, abil-
ity and honor. His friends would prefer
to see him in the Senate working for the
state and the whole people. But since
there is no prospect Of his being sent 70
the Senate, they would be pleased to see
him upon the bench OF an important
court.

Mr.. Cleveland and Cuba.
From the New orleans Picayuno pem.)

Mr.. Cleveland has earned the hostility
Of a large number of people because of
his conservative course in dealing with
the Cuban problem; but there is no doubt
that because of his policy he is now in a
better position to offer the friendly offices
of the United States to Spain in the way
Of mediating between her and her colony
than had he pursued a different line If
there is to be any action IN the part of
the United States at all. 1t would GER
tainly be much better for the initiative to
be taken by Mr. Cleveland than by his
successor

Watson's Letter.
From the Washington Star Qnd.)

The value of Mr. Watsons letter lies in
what it promises for the future. He and
Senator Butler are both looking to 1900,
and to the leadership of the populist par
ty. The fight ought to be lively. No
friend of good government ought to COM
plain if this fight becomes bitter and mu-
tually destructive to the participants.
Populism in its last analysis means the
overturning of our present form of gov
eminent.

Speaker Reed will probably not be a
member of Maj. McKinIey's cabinet. 1t
is pretty well known in well informed
political circles that while Mckinley was
nominally the leader of the House. Reed
was the real leader, and deserves prob
ably the major share of credit for nearly
all Of the accomplishments that have been
credited to Mckinley. Being much the
stronger man Of the two, and not having
any special weakness for Maj. Mckinley
ACCOMPLISHMENTS to all reports-it is
not likely that Mr. Reed will be invited to
a seat at the cabinet table.

The origin of the expression wind
fall" which is used when one wishes to
refer to a streak OF good luck, dates back
to the time of William the Conquerer
At that time it was a criminal offense
to cut timber in the British forests with
out royal consent. All that could be
gathered for fuel or other purposes was
such limbs as the wind should happen
TO break and cast to the ground. On this
account the peasants hailed a great wind
storm as a blessing, because 1t VISA apt
to cast enough of "windfalls" for winter
fire wood From this old-time forestry
custom comes the modern application
of the expression. AT one time 1t was
decreed that only such limbs and whole
trees as should fall during the three SUM
mer months could be used as fire wood
but the unjustness of the act was so
plainly apparent that no attempt was
ever made TO enforce 1t.

At the time of the last federal bond sale
a man named White, living in Boston,
turned pretty penny by bidding for a
block of bonds without having a cent to
pay for them. When they were awarded
to him, he merely sold his option to a
syndicate of bankers at an advance over
the price bid. and put the profit in his
pocket without having put up cent. 1t
was a shrewd game. 1t seems that lots of
people remembered Whites transaction,
and when New York city not long ago Of
fered bonds for sale, a number of bids of
the White kind were received. There is
no way in which the bids of these people
can be guarded against, and they come
into competition with those of good faith
bidders. 1t is proposed in New York that
a bill shall be introduced into the next
legislature to deal with such bids and
bidders.

The Senatorial Contest.

1t was thought yesterday. prior to the
meeting of the caucus, that Mr.. Clay would
receive the nomination for senator before
the caucus adjourned. Gov. Atkinson had
Withdrawn in his favor. and it was the
very general impression that all of the
governors following would go to him.
Some of it did, as was shown by the first
ballot, but the next ballot made it clear
that there were forces at work which
neither Mr.. Clay nor the governor could
control
Mr.. Clay may be the nominee, but his
chances are not so good now as they were
yesterday. Many things are likely to hap
pen before the meeting of the caucus on
Monday and one of them is the appear
ance of another candidate in the contest
There are some shrewd politicians be-
hind the scenes and they are pulling the
wires with extraordinary skill. What is
appearing in print in respect to the contest
is interesting, but not nearly so interesting
as the story that those on the inside could
tell. But those on the inside will not talk.
If the secret moves and the motives of the
managers Of the campaign were to be dis
closed the success of well laid plans might
be prevented. The pledges and promises
which have been given reach no doubt
several years into the future. Most of
them, it is safe to say, will never be kept,
not because they are not made in
good faith, but because unforeseen condi-
tions will make it impracticable to keep
them.
Yesterday was Mr.. Clay's opportunity.
If he is successful now it win be because of
the superior management of his campaign.
