Texas Legislature, another bill is
about to be introduced to prohibit
baseball on Sunday, to which an adj
mission fee is charged. This is evil
IDENTIFY directed to professional ball and
is intended to put stop to such games.
What reason can any one offer
that baseball should not be played on
Sunday when admission is charged?
What is Sunday to any other day, ex-
cepting that it is the laboring mans
day of rest and recreation. He don't
lave to go to church unless he wants
to, neither must he go to a ball game
unless he so desires. Sunday is here
for everybody. If no greater crimes
are ever committed than a baseball
game on Sunday, heaven will not be
big enough to accommodate all those
having passage to this great paradise.
The gentlemen having the law max
ing of this glorious state in charge are
certainly not acting in accordance with
the wishes of the masses when they
take measures which will deny mans
liberty and freedom. Ring off, gentle
men of the Legislature, and If you
have no more important business to
transact than to make Sunday laws,
the best you can do is to adjourn, and
thereby keep the good will of the peo-
pie at large.
Superstition exists to a certain eX-
tent among baseball players. Accord
ing to John NJ. Ward the ordinary SUI
perstitions not only prevail but are ac-
cepted as law. Four-leaved clover
and rabbits feet are sure to charm the
tickle goddess, while cross-eyed-"coo
the number thirteen and such like are
looked upon as "hoodoos" of dire de-
scription. IF in driving out in your
omnibus from the hotel to the grounds
you overtake a funeral, that's sure

is a harbinger of victory, because, If

CALLAGHAN AS \ SMALL pom

Judge Callaghan had the egOtiSm
to compliment himself as the hero of
the smallpox epidemic that happened
during his reign as mayor He no
doubt acted very herOically but had he
done otherwise, he would have been
less than man-aS mayor it was
his duty TO lead the relief corps if
necessary: full many a hero has done
greater deeds than this and were not

leaves to others the task OF singing
his praises, that Is the real hero.

MAX SUTOR.

Mr.. Max Sutor. candidate for city
collector, deserves fair treatment at
the hands of the voters. For several
years Mr.. SutOr has been assistant in
the collectors office, and by reason of
his efficiency has really run that office
No man ever went into a public office
in our city who has been more untir-
ing, more thorough, more correct than
Mr.. Sutor He made a study of the
office and worked night and day to
perfect his knowledge. He has mas
tered the details of the collectors de-
partment thoroughly and instituted a
system of records that are unequalled
anywhere. A man of home habits
he has devoted much of his time out
of office hours to perfect indexes and
put the collectors office in such per-
feet shape that every taxpayer, could
obtain knowledge of not only his own
taxes but that of every other citizen.
His work is of the neatest character
approaching artistic execution. After
seven years service as assistant, Mr..
Sutor has presumed to ask the peO-
pie to put him in as principal; he be-
lieves he has earned the place If eff
cheney and strict attention to duty
are qualifications.

as corruption and dishonesty. After
the collapse of the Plapers' League
struggle in 1890, and the complete vic
tory of the National league, it was
strongly urged by many that the lea
ders in that rebellion should have
been expelled, but the Natnoial league
showed its magnanimity by condoning
the offences, and taking all the play
ers back into the fold. We will never
repeat so foolhardy an experiment.
The TENDENCY of all professional sports
is downward, and to perpetuate base
ball and keep ii clean, requires strong
central organization that has the pow
er to keep it under thorough control.
The national league is one of the
most remarkable organizations for the
government and control of any profess
sional sport that has ever existed, and,
while it has made some mistakes in
judgment, it has never sacrificed prin-
cipal, and its remarkable record enti-

NEW MOTOR CYCLE.

A motor bicycle, which combines the
peculiarities of the bicycle and the To-
connective, is said to be very successful
in its operation.
The machine consists of four parallel
tubes, two upon either side, connected
with the main journal boxes of the rear
or driving wheel and united at their for
ward ends with two pairs of oblique
tubes, connected by cross bars at the
top and carrying the steering head in
which is received the shank of the front
fork, as in an ordinary bicycle. The
motor cylinders are secured between
the horizontal bars, and these contain
pistons connected by piston rods with
the crank on the main shaft. The bear

Atkins the Dictator.

There always was g mystery attaching to
the Cuban policy of Richard Olney, but it
is mystery no longer. In the blessed, and In
his case, luxurious, retirement of nrivate
life, he had ever been the attorney for Mr..
Edward t. Atkins, sugar capitalist of Cuba,
connected with the Angio-American Cuban
sugar trust, which always has been in
alliance with the other British interest con-
trolling the Spanish debt. If this publicly
had been understood a great deal OF mysti-
fieation would have been avoided duringthe
occupation of the State Department by the
Spanish government, ,praeticallyrepresente
in the person of Richard Olney.
We know now the why and the W therefore,
OF the Olney policy, which we discover TO
have been Atkins and not Olney, and we are
able to appreciate other things; for example,
the survival of the Atkins policy to the
present time. Onthe occurrence of the acute
Cuban situation in Washington few DAYS
ago, Mr.. Atkins promptly appeared upon
the scene, and was presented at court by
his New England friend, and Mr. Olney's
Secretary oftbe Navy, Long. This presenta-
tion at once seemed to exert modifying in
fluence over the governmental attitude. Re-
enforced by the peaceful advice and disin-
terested mediation of Minister Dupuy de
LONE and Mr.. Hale of Maine 1t had the ef-
feet, if we may judge from appearances. to
minimize Executive conception OF the enor-
nifty of starving Americans in Cuba by Of
ficial order.
Doubtless the friendly intervention of Mr..
Atkins, representing Mr.. Olney and other
people entitled to consideration, has had
important and far reaching influence in
shaping not only our future foreign, but
our naval policy We are Informed that
the American Navy out Of commission, is
being pursued with commendable and even
feverish vigor. The British arbitration
treaty having failed, and the possible
danger of popular demand for a naval
demonstration in the Antilles having ap-
peared ON the national horizon, 1t is but
just aud proper that the Government
should render itself powerless to commit
any act that might be construed as q
manifestation of unfrien dilness toward the
principals Of Mr.. Olney, MI. Atkins and
Mr. Hale. 4
How far the gospel of peace and good
will toward Mr.. De LONE, Weyler. the
starvation of Americans, and the Outrage
and butchery of Cuban women and chill
dren may CO. it is quite impossible to say
But we know that the Atkins Oluey policy
fully supported such methods, and it Is
difficult TO expect different one, IL Mr..
Atkins is to continue rs Councillor Of State
to the United states in Cuban affairs.

bondholding interest, and of the Anglo
American Cuban sugar plantation trust,
man!festly are the leaders.
1t is significant that those who are In
charge OF the business do not wish to dis
close the nature of any recommendations
that may be included in the memorial
This is placed upon the high ground that
1t would be discourteous to the Secretary
OF State to give publicity to the matter
In advance of It's formal presentation.
Nothing could be more dignified and proper
than such an assumption. At the same
time we may be forgiven for the suspicion
that doubt about the popular aeceptation
of the plan to be proposed may have some
thing tc do with dissemination to allow
public knowledge OF the facts
That the moneyed interests in Cuba,
which are booked TO lose their investments
in Spanish bonds, should ask the United
States to interfere, without also begging
for solution that would save their pock-
cts, Is a conception too altruistic to be
tolerated. We are quite confident, there
fore, that there will be strong pressure
brought to secure intervention upon the
basis of Cuban assumption of the Spanish
Cuban debt, and perhaps an added hundred
millions to remunerate the Anglo A merican
sugar trust. The imminence of this appeal
to the charity and humanity of the d.
ninlstratlon may account for delay in
giving attention to minor and unimpor-
tant matters, like the starvation of Ameri-
cans on the island by he orders of Weyier
As matter Of fact we do not entertain
the least doubt that the Administration
will lend itself TO some such scheme. We
are equally convinced that the Cuban
patriots in arms will resent and resist
it with scorn and indignation The ele-
ments represented in the movement have
been their bitter and unrelcnting enemies,
and have kept Spain supplied with means
for their oppression and persecution, until
at last il has come to be conceded even
in the ccuntng-room OF Lord de Rothschild
that they cannot be conquered For this
Government now TO ask them TO shoulder
the debt that has been incurred specifically
for their subjugation, would be an act Of
infamy inconceivable in any one who coulI
not with sanctimonious placidity witness
the intentional starvation of hundreds Of
Americans, and the outrage and butchery
of thousands of innocent Cuban women
and girl children.
Hence we hope that the good emotions Of
President Mckinley will revolt against any
such proposition. But the public may rest
assured that something of the kind Is In the
wind; and that when it materializes the
House OF Reed will be found wide open and
ready to consider IL.
To such pass has this country comet

A STOLE STOLEN.
Had Been Worn by Two POpes and
Is Worth So. 900.

New York, May 15.-The handsomely ems
bToidered stole which was once worn by
Pope Plus l Y and later by Leo XIII, and
which was a token in one of the bootm
at the Irish Fair, at the Grand Central
Palace, was taken on Thursday night III
police were not notified until last nigh1
the persons in charge of the stole belI
that it lad only been Iaislaid tn
rested on suspicion William HiHe,
the walters in the fair. He was refIsS
today.
The stole was valued at 81, 600. It was
white. embroidered with gold, and had a
number of jewels on it. II was the prop
erty of church dignitary at the Vatican,
who had received it from Pope Leo XIII.
Its owners had given 1T TO Mr.. Francis
Sullivan as a donation to the fair It was

derision of England as for any other
reason, and the growing insistence, re-
ported from Constantinople, that Thessaiy
shall be ceded to the Porte, is further
illustration OF the contempt in which
the British power is held in the east of
Europe We have already comm ente ed upon
The action of government organs In Eng
land In attempting to prepare the public
mind for the Thessalian cession, q thing
that few days ago Lord Salisbury de-
clared Great Britain never would tolerate
1t is plain that British policy Is being
shaped to jibe with the necessity for avoid
ing any trouble in the old world, and to
avert the possibility OF friction In the
western hemisphere. Such policy would
best be snbserved by submission to any
thing the three Emperors may decree with
regard to Greece, and in securing the neu-
traiization of the American Navy by
arranging to have most of its fighting
force kept out of commission
On more than one occasion we have
ventared to suggest that British diplomacy,
backed by plenty of money and influence,
never acknowledges defeat, and never
sleeps.

Save the Forests.

It is greatly to be hoped that the con-
ferees on the part of the House will in
sist upon adhering to the position of that
body in reference to the protection Of
American forests. We have discussed the
general question at large on more than
one occasion If the House should recede
from its present position step backward
in an important national policy will be
taken. 1t may be true that the orders
reserving the latest forest areas with
drawn from sale are calculated to work
hardship to some private or corporate in
terestS, but this does not change the fact
that the policy of forest reservation is a
necessary one if any timber is to be left
oE the continent for the use of succeeding
generations. Regarding such features of
the orders as the vested interests justly
can complain OF, 1T is quite feasible to ar
range scheme Of administration and
utilization that would meet all legitimate
requirements. This is well enough known,
but it does not meet the views of those
who oppose the reservation of timber
areas Anything that would tend to affect
their ability to utterly use up and destroy
every piece OF timber susceptible of Seing
turned into cash is to be resisted to the
end.
That is sufficient reason why the House
should stand firm.

The Repentance of brooklyn.

Brooklyn is beginning to experience
sensations similar to those which Jonah
probably entertained when he was swal-
lowed It is now claimed by Brooklyn
newspapers that, though the City OF
Churches may have joined herself TO New
York for the municipal convenience of
both parties she emphatically does not IN
tend to lose her identity or her traditions
The traditions of Brooklyn, 1t is said, are
those of birth and schooling and marriage,
OF parents, of baptisms, and of the graves
exactly the idea which the general public
has had of Brooklyn, and the gen eral
public would miss that idea almost as much
as would the City of Churches herself 1t
is now claimed by these same Brooklyn
newspapers that the name goes with the
traditions, and that TO ask the city to give
up her nameis nothing less than sacrilese,
and if New York attempts to take that
name away from Brooklyn, New York viii

Mark Twain would say. 1t is a war with
hatpins and carpet tack hammers, and Ii is
promised that the offender shall be stuck
and pounded by his fair assaiiant so long as
they both shall live Somebody ought to
fly to the rescue of New York.
There is nothing on earth to prevent 81
Brooklynite calling himself Brooklynite as
.ong as ne likes; and he can date his letters
that way, and have his cards. If he has any,
engraved that way, and New York will
never know it, much less make a law against
it. This would have been understood in other
days Take Lcndon, for example. London
has swallowed up half a dozen considerable
towns which were country towns when she
began to grow Their names and traditions
have not beenlost. MuchIess can this be the
case with huge city like Brooklyn No
body is going to take the mental trouble of
changing the name of that place to New
York East, or TO Brooklyn borough. Let
Brooklyn calm herself.

1t may be doubted II there is any clear

Kaiser is advising the Sultan against con-
senting to any accommodation unless he
