THE BATTING RULES
have been changed in diction materially,
but not in their requirements. We rec
ommend that they stand as follows:
Rule IS. section l. A fair hit is ball,
batted by the batsman-while he is stand
ing within the lines of his positiOn-that
first touches fair ground or the person of
a player or the umpire, while standing in
fair ground. and then settles in fair
ground before passing the line of first or
third bases"
Section . \ foul hit is a similarly bat
ted ball that first touches foul ground
or the person of a player or the umpire
while standing on foul ground.
'"Section 8. Should such fair hit ball
bound or roll to foul ground before pass
ing the line of first or third base and set
tie on foul ground, it shall be declared by
the umpire a foul ball.
Section f. Should such foul hit ball
bound or roll on fair ground and settle
there before passing the line of first or
third base il shall be declared by the
umpire "a fair ball.
Rule 80. A foul tip is a ball batted by
the batsman while standing within the
lines of his position that goes foul sharp
from the bat to the catcher's hands.
Rule 40. a bunt hit is a ball delivered
by the pitcher to the batsman, who, while
standing within the lines of his position.

is made 10 read: ANY Intentional effort
TO hit the ball to foul ground, also in the
case of a bunt hit, which sends the ball
to foul ground. either directly or by
bounding or rolling from fair to foul
ground and which settled on foul ground"
This is considered an Improvement in
verbiage
From section of the same rule is
stricken the words. ten foot lines. and
added: within ten feet from home base,
the ten foot lines having been discarded
some time ago.
To section / Of rule 45. which defines
when a batsman is out for batting out of
order. the last sentence is changed to
read: And, Furthermore, no other bats
man than the one who batted out of order
shall be declared out on the error"
An additional section is added to this
rule. 1t reads: Section II. The moment
a batsman is declared out by the umpire,
he (the umpire) shall call for the batsman
next in order 10 leave his seat on the
bench and take his position at the bat. and
such player of the batting side shall not
leave his seat on the bench until so called
to bat, except as provided by rule 81. sec

In section 3 of rule &C, the word de

A TARIFF on FARMERS.

New York Journal.
The fact of the matter is that effort to
aid the farmers by protective duties is
hopeless. We export and do not import
food products The tariff is of no possible
advantage 10 the farmer. The duties
levied on his products by the Dingley bill
We're fixed for political purposes only
and nobody knows that better than Mr.
Ding!ey. If the farmers Of the United
States allow themselves to be diverted
from the money issue-which to them is all
importantly a cheap bribe in the tariff
bill, they will ruin themselves and grieve
their friends.

backward step on the silver issue.
Such statements require unlimit-
ed gall to say the least, and would
indicate great willingness on the
part of the Star to play into the
hands of the enemies of silver. We
submit that Congressman Gum
is a pretty good populist and that
he is pretty sound on the silver
question. Mr.. Gum, who was on
the ground, and who investigated
the matter thoroughly, has said
over his own signature that the
Sentinel declaration did mean a
backward step on the silver issue.
Either the statements of the Star
or OF Mr.. Gum are false, with Mr..
Gum standing as authority and
the evidence in his favor.
There are reasons evident to all
thoughtful persons why the So
called middle Of the-roaders should
play into the hands of the goldbugs
and it is developing that a few
democrats hope to profit by stand
ing in with the plot. The scheme
is coming to light too early to be
of any serious consequence to the
cause Of silver, but the plotters will
bear watching.

AS Seen from the Editors Standpoint.

AS Seen from the Editors Standpoint.
Every newspaper is morally
certain to offend some of its readers,
now and then, if it does its duty to
the public. 1t can not be helped
and when an irate subscriber orders
his paper stopped, the editor merely
takes it as a matter of course, ex-
pecting about so many such Incl
dents to occur during the year any
way. The HERALD can not recall
single instance where it ever
lost subscriber in this way, but
what it said something that pleas
ed the rest of the community so
well that it gained several good,
cash subscribers for every one
it lost. And this is pro 5ably the
experience with all well-meaning
newspapers. And when the irate
subscriber goes off thinking the
paper will surely "bust" without
his support, nine times out of ten
he has caused quite little boom
for the editor. Looking back over
the past year, we have last only
three such subscribers and the
articles printed that lost us these
were the same articles that gained
us many times that number of new
subscribers.
Speaking of the same subject, the
Newport Pilot produces the follow
ing which hits the nail on the head
in every line.
"After you get angry and stop
your paper, just poke your finger
into water and pull it out and look
at the hole; then you will know
how sadly you are missed. A man
VINO THINKS paper cannon thrive
without his support ought to get
off and stay awhile. When ht
comes back half his friends will
not know he has been gone and the
other half will not care, while the
world at large kept no account o.
his movements. You will fine
things you cannot indorse in every
paper. The Book of Books is otter
very plain and hiJs some hard raps
but if you were to get mad anC

and call the editor names, tn

Christmas.

Today is Christmas, the happiest
day of all the year, in all the Chris
tian world-or should be. 1t
should be the purpose of every one
to make it happy occasion-to
be happy themselves and to make
Others happy.
Happiness is not n matter of
wealth alone. Many a modern
Croesus envys the Christmas joys of
the lowly peasant. There is joy
in giving and receiving Christmas
presents that is not measured by
wealth, and in which the intrinsic
value of the gift has no considera-
ton whatever.
Nothing is more out of place than
a vulgar display at Christmas fes-
Invites. Sometimes we see Christ
mas trees loaded to vulgarity with
presents for the children of a man
with a few filthy dollars while his
neighbours children go home with
scant remembrance. Such display
is vanity and vanity is not an ele-
ment of true happiness. Such
vanity leaves a sting that take;
from Christmas giving it's sweetest
joys. So it is that the simple pres
ents that are given in token of tn,
hearts purest emotions are thos,
which cause greatest cheer at tn,
Christmas time. And so it is, too
that the poor and lowly may be a
happy as the rich and mighty
The homeless and destitute gr
alone an exception, but as we hav
none in this community so unfor
tunate, there is no cloud to ma
the Christmas of 1897.
Eet all, then, make the best u.s.
of Christmas and join in the genel
al spirit of love and goodwill.

What would you do if war
should be declared tomorrow with
a European power? How would it
change your home life, the lives of
brother and other relatives? How
would it affect your business con-
nections and business? What
changes would it make in financial,
city, state and national affairs? 1t
is these interesting problems which
a writer in the December Cosmo-
politan has undertaken to cketch
under the heading of "a Brief His
tory of Our Late War With Spain"
at the same time wildly describing
the exciting scenes which would
attend the opening of hostilities

of Henry George and Charles A,

read, reaches its conclusion in an
unexpected way.
