The Peril of Base Ball,

In the course of an editorial devoted
to the base ball problem as 1t exists
from Philadelphia standpoint the
Public Ledger of that city says: Base
ball is in danger of being dethroned as
a favorite national game. 1t still has
a strong hold on popular favor, but the
interest is not nearly so intense as 1t
was, and it is clearly and rapidly wan
ing. There is a wide and growing sus-
picion that the games are not being
played or decided on their merits, but
are being won or lost by methods dis
creditable to all concerned. If this sus-
picion becomes a certainty in the pub
lie mind the popularity of base ball
will be over, or at least seriously i'm
paired for some time to come. 1t must
be regretfully admitted that the point
of conviction is rapidly being reached"
The Ledger then cites the remark of an
umpire that the home club must win
to draw a paying audience; that If 1t
could not do so by superior playing, he
must help with his decisions; and it
concludes by demanding a more equit-
We know nothing with reference to
the inference as to crookedness con-
tanned in the Ledgers opening words;
it may be true in the National league
although we doubt it. 1t certainly is
not true in the Eastern league. But
there is danger that the national game
will fall into disfavor unless it shall
soon be rescued from the disorderly
features which lately seem to charac-
terize it as never before. A week has
not passed this season in the big league
without bringing into print an account
of some umpire mobbed or gOaded into
an attack upon a player or a spec
tator; and even in the exceptionally
we'll conducted Eastern league there
has been more disturbance than was
exercised a license on and off the dia-
mond not good either for them or for
the game. 1t would seem, in brief,
that ordinary business prudence had
for time deserted good many of the
men concerned pecuniarily in maintain
ing base ball high in the favor of the
people. Whether this is a consequence
of the general decentralization incident
to dull times or of the malign influence
of the stars, or of the "crime of '73, -
or something else, it is unfortunate for
all concerned, and requires speedy cor
rection and amendment if the game is
to live.

THE CABINET AND CONGRESS-.
From the Times-Herald.


Those who believe that our government
would be strengthened and our legisla-
ton be made more efficacious by allow
ing the heads of departments to help
legsate are impelled to this conclusion
by the irresponsible character of our gov
ernment, which is so divided that nobody
can tell who Is to blame. This desire for
a more responsible government is accen-
tuated by study of the British system,
where the premier and those who serve
with him are selected by the house of
commons, and where the members of the
cabinet must go to the country and with
the members of the house achieve victory
or defeat. Between the English cabinet
and house there is community of inter-
est and community of danger.
o
In our government the only legal con-
nection between the executive and heads
of departments and the legislature, be-
tween the administration and the con-
gress, Is by written communications, stat
ing plans and propositions, needs and re-
quirements. 1t is contended by many
that if heads of departments were given
seats on the floor of the house and sem
ate and the right to introduce bills and
participate in debate the president would
be able to gather about him the strong
est men in the nation who could, by their
influence and power, add immeasurably
to the grasp which both house and sem
ate would have on public questions.
But Speaker Reed contends, In the IL
lustrated American, that this plan would
be destructive of our representative form
of government. 1t is Mr.. Reeds belief
that we cannot adopt any feature of
the British system without accepting
1t in its entirety. Our members of the
cabinet are appointed by the president
and are not directly amenable to the peo-
pie, and cannot be reached for any wrong
advice they might give to the senate or
house. Men so situated, in Mr.. Reeds
opinion, would have but little influence
in legislation, but would have an unjust
and mighty power in distributing the
patronage of their departments. 1t is also
urged by Mr.. Reed as an additional OBJ
lection to copying the British system that
in this country more than anywhere else
a member represents his district, and
even though he were appointed by the
president a member of his cabinet he
would still be amenable to his home in
iuences, where his political future is de-
termined, and not to the house or the
| senate or to the people.

A Populist in Error.

Dr. C. F. Taylor, the P6pulist nom
inee for auditor general of Pennsyl-
vania, is circulating a document the
man had begun 1900 years ago to ac-
cumulate a million dollors, saving one
dollar each secular day, and not al
lowing for interest; and if his life were
miraculously prolonged to complete
the task. he would today have only
$591, $685. or less than sixty per cent. OF
the desired million. DIR. Taylor asks
in conclusion, What shall we say to
those who obtain not only one million
but many millions in the few years Of
the adult period of single life?"
What we shall say ought to depend
wholly upon the circumstances. If a
boy who with a few dollars saved from
wages purchases a sack of raw pea
nuts and a roaster and opens a peanut
stand, selling his goods at a profit,
another peanut stand and then two
others and afterward four others and
so on in geometrical ratio it is easily
conceivable that he could in a campara-
lively short time acquire a million dol
lars, the last dollar of which would
come to him quite as honestly as the
first. That is how many of our large
fortunes are accumulated not, per-
haps, with peanuts but on the prin-
ciple underlying the peanut illustration.
If the owner of one peanut stand finds
that another person is likely to start
an opposition stand near him, and to
prevent it sells roasted peanuts at or
below cost for a time, or until the
would-be rival is run out of the busi-
ness, we have precisely the principle
not, indeed. in the peanut business,
but in the parallel case of the Stand
ard Oil company for example, whose
vast business was built up by just such
methods, and with the result of a con-
tinually lowered selling price of kero-
sene oil. The millions of Mr.. Rocka-
feller have been won along the same
line and in obedience to the same trade
laws that have governed the supposi-
| titious peanut vender in his accumula-
tion of pennies, nickles and dimes; II
| one is dishonest, so is the other: II
one should be attacked by law the
other should by no means escape.
| On the other hand If a peanut ven.
der gives short weight, palms off or
his customers inferior stock by false
| representations or works a pull OIL
| councils or the street commissioner
to secure a site for his stand on somt
public place to which he has no mora
title but where he can increase hi
trade, we have precisely the same prin
ciples illustrated as in the case Of thl
millionaire speculator who gains val
liable franchise concessions withou
rendering a public equivalent and oi
the strength of such concessions or
ganizes a figurehead corporation will
inflated capital stock, which he pro
ceeds to unload on unsuspecting peo
pie so as virtually to steal a million
or ten million dollars. To the MAJ
who thus obtains money, whether II
big sums or IN small, We should say

This represents remarkable improve
ment, particularly in comparison with
last year, and supports the surface
indications of q notable business re-
vival."
In the light of these facts the ques-
tion may be asked, "Why does not this
Improvement make itself Immediate
ly and wholly palpable to the average
man doing business say in Scranton?"
We answer that it is being felt, and we
call the business men of the city to
witness. The mines are working steadily
now for the first time this year. The
steel mills are active. Hardly a small
factory or shop is without it's quota
of workmen and its normal volume
of orders. II past losses could be
sponged out of the way by magic we
should feel more prosperity than in
years; it is the catching up with old
debts which have been accommodating
during the four long years just ended
that causes us yet in some measure
to feel the pinch. In other words, while
it is easy to get in debt and not difficult
to exhaust the little balance saved sup
at the bank, it takes time and patience
to get out of debt again, and to hoard
up another surplus for a future rainy
day.
But there is no short cut through
this inevitable and wholesome period
of liquidation. The credits secured
during the hard times must be made
good. The debtS contracted when work
was slack and money scarce, in order
that the wolf might be kept from the
door, must be paid ere the average
man will feel at liberty to elbow him
self" The little account in the bank,
depleted for the same reason, must be
restored. These things take time.
Prosperity is already here. Money is
even now getting a move on. But it
cannot cause a boom and no sensible
man would want it to.

The Crisis in SDain

The effect which the assassination of
Spain's prime minister, Serior Canovas,
will have upon the Cuban problem re-
mains theme Of general speculation,
not only in this country but throughout
Europe. The opinion seems to be gen.
eral that there will not be found a
Conservative leader capable of cement
ing the various factions of that party
and that In the end the queen regent
will be compelled to tender the pre-
miership to the leader of the Liberals
Senor Sagasta. For a score of years
he and Canovas were the two great
statesmen of Spain who, although rep
resenting opposing parties, often plaN-
ed into each others hands. Those best
qualified to predict say that the death
of Canovas inevitably projects Sagasta
TO the front.
That the great Liberal is not anxious
to accept the peculiar responsibilities
of the position of premier at this time
may be inferred from his remark of
yesterday, when he declared, with a
suggestion of melodrama, that his coun-
try's politics must not depend on an as
assination, and added that the Con-
servatives ought to remain in power.
While it appeals as we would say to the
galleries, this sententious deliverance is
nevertheless entirely true. The Con-
servative party of Spain, as fashioned
by Canovas, is responsible for the col
onial policy which has turned Cuba into
a shambles, which has nurtured Wey-
lerism and which now stands for all
that is repugnant in the relationship
of colonists to the central government.
1t is the party which has sown the
wind; and by every rule of justice 1t is
the party which should reap the whirl-
wind.
To man like Senor Sagasta power at
this juncture would mean simply work
and worry without the slightest bros
pect of reward. Had ne been called TO
the premiership two three years ear
lier, his modern ideas of proper COL
onial relationship for Cuba might have
averted the. present revolution and
saved the many millions of treasure and
the prestige lost by Spain in the ensu-
ing interval, But now the progress of
Cuba toward Independence has reached
too advanced a stage to justify expec-
tations of a reconciliation, and it will
become the sad duty of the successor
OF Canovas 10 let Cuba go, either with
or without the receipt of a nominal
equivalent -.-
1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection the revival of talk in well-in-
formed circles in Washington that
Spain may pick a quarrel with the
United States as the one means of get
ting out of Cuba without precipitatinE
revolution at home. IT Is represented
The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1897-08-11

by trustworthy Washington cores
pondcnts that this theory as to Spain's
ultimate intentions prevails among the
leading officials of our government,
from the president down. A change in
ministries might induce the abandon
ment or 1t might effect the elimination
of this plan; but If the latter, we
concur in the opinion of the St. Louis
be-Democrat, expressed a few days
ago, that 1t would be long time before
Spain would solicit repetition of the
treatment

Good Times Already Here.

Last weeks stock sales amounted at
New York to 2,Si5,664 shares. record
without recent precedent. Twenty lead
ing railway stocks have risen in eleven
weeks from an average quotable value
of $40 a share to $62. At the same
time, to use the words of one conserva-
tive reviewer, "a new face has crept
over the whole commercial situation.
1t is not to be recognized beside the
features made familiar through four
years of depression. Dependency has
everywhere given way to the most
hopeful and sanguine feeling. Good
crops are beginning to move at high
er prices. Bank clearings outside the
speculative centers reflect an increas-
ing volume of trade. Railroad earn
ings are improving. The depressed
iron and steel market has within the
week reported the appearance of new
demand for products. Business fall

the change that has taken place. Dun's

The fact that the British association
for the advancement of science is to
meet at Toronto soon after the conclu-
sion of the Detroit meeting of the
American association, thus enabling
the great scientists of both branches
of the English speaking race to come
together, has suggested the propriety
of organizing an international associa-
tion which in it's membership shall en-
body the worlds best scientific scholar
ship. Should such be the outcome it
would be in obedience to one of the
