Gned $500 and only for two offenses. The
club viii assert that the fines We're cunu-
lative and covered more than the necessary
number of intractions Of discipline.
IL is not probable that the board Of di
Eectors will uphold the player technical
points. Baseball adjudication has never
been conducted on that line. The nlagnntes
have even cverridden the plain letter Of
their laws IN order to carry our practices
which they considered necessary TO main
tain the arbitrary structure Of their ma
tional organization. This was plainly
shown when, in 1880. they suspended Null
lane for one year, though the player had
strictly followed the provisions laid down
in the rules, whereas one of their own
number had just as plainly broken tae
same law. The suspension and filming OF
Pfeffer ia 1895 was another instance Of ar
bitrary ruling.
The New York club IN the Rusie case
has knowingly sacrificed many thousands
Of dollars ia its determination to carry its
discipline to perfection. The remission OF
the $500 fines would have brought Rusie
back to the team ia two days. The club
has all the time realized that his services
would make a difference to its treasury OF
from $4,000 to SOC 600. Yet it has not
wavered for 2 moment ard declares it viii
not surrender SO much as q dollar to the
player until he submits to discipline, if the
fight should last for years.
1t is hardly probable, therefore, that the
board of directors viii ind fer the player.
If they do, they viii lay the foundation for
endless trouble among their clubs and play
ers in the future Rusie could undoubtcd-
ly recover the $500, or part Of it, at law,
but that cuts 10 ice. " The club dOesn' Z

Dear Sir:
The presidential campaign viii be
fought exclusively upon the money
question.
The Republican party has declared
for a continuation of the present de
structive monetary system and ship
ment of gold to Europe
No relief is suggested
The combination which corners the
money of the United States at pleasure
is the same one which declared for
sound money until the convention
assembled. and then whipped the dele
gates into line for gold only. The
American people do not want gold
nonOmetallism. nor do they want
degraded currency through the free
coinage Of silver
Now let the Democratic party at Chi
ca go declare for sound money, and pro-
vide q remedy for existing evils by
placing both metals on equal footing,
using sold and silver unlimited at their
commercial value in the most enlight-
ened nations of the earth. The parity
in value of the gold and the silver dol
lar viii thus be constantly maintained,
and Democracy Will sweep the country
The proposal to postpone the use of
agreement is a subterfuge to pTOlOug
the use of gold exclusively as redemp-
ton money
The greatest nation in the world is
able not only to formulate and main
tain its own sound money policy but to
set an example To others Yours truly.

Washington Boys Eager to Secure
Bicycle Buttons and Tin Tugs.
The fad for collecting things, it makes
very little difference what, is by no means
confined to grown-up people. They devote
their attention to pictures, tapestries, pos
tiers, or anything else that strikes their
fancy. But just now it Is the small boy
who is working the fad for all 1t is worth
Stamps seem to be out of favor, ard the
youth of Washington are devotlng their at
tention to making collections Of buttons
Almost every bicycle factory issues some
sort of emblem to be worn in the button
hole, and to these the small boys are for
the most part combining themselves. The
Mckinley and Reed buttons are also in
high favor, and they are traded in around
the school buildings at recess and after
hours. 1t is really surprising what large
number of varieties a small boy can ac-
cumulate.
Then, again. tobacco tags" have a great
charm for the youthful collectors. The lit
tie pieces of tin which are attached to plugs
of the nasty weed that little Johnnie Reed
so abhorred eagerly sought after. One
small boy who has gone in for the fad in
earnest has accumulated, by trade and
swapping" upward of 200 different kinds
of tags.

these collectors a few days ago. He was
