NEWARK is IN THE PUSH.
Tho Local Fans Have Great Conf
dence in Their Team.


NEWARK, n. J.. April 2i,-(speclal)-
After a successful series of exhibition
games the local Atlantic League cham
pions Of 1886 are in excellent con-
dition and have every confidence Of be-
ing able to make the same creditable
showing on the diamond during the
coming season as in the past
1t was at first feared that the loss Of
Tom Burns. who managed the team so
ably last year, might have a detrimental
effect on the clubs chances throughout
the 1881 campaign. Captain jimmy
Gilman Ohe ex-Richmonder) has, how
ever, proved himself a most competent
successor. He was secured by Owner
Ellis from the New Haven club during
the latter part Of last season and he at
once sprung into popularity as Il second
baseman "Gil." is both a steady and
at the same time brilliant inhelder and
Is well liked by all the players.
Young tombstone, recently signed by
the local club, was with st. Paul OF the
Western League, during 1895 and 1895.
Out OF twenty-five games in which he
pitched in 1895. his club was successful
in all but three. In 1896 he won twenty
three out of thirty-eight games He
purchased his own release from the ST.
Paul club in order to join the Newarks.
Wittrock another pitcher, twirled for
Louisville during 1898 and the spring OF
1894. going with Cincinnati in the fall Of
the same year He was with Indiana
polls. Of the Western League, in 1885,
and was member Of the Mobile South
ern League Club last year.
Ernie" Hodge. late Of Norfolk. has
proved himself TO be clever catcher.
Prior TO joining the Newark team he
was with the New Haven and the Grand
RAPIDS club, and his work as backstop
gave entire satisfaction.
Bovd IS q player who for the last
three wears has been with the Washing
ton National League Club. He is
pitcher. but is at present trying 10 make
the Newark nine in the capacity Of an
outfelder.
Carrick pitched for emi-professionll
kams IN and around Cleveland during
the season Of 1888 and was then picked
up by Captain Tabeau and played with
the Cleveland leaguors during 1894 and
1895. lie was farmed out TO Fort Wayne
in 1886.
Sammy" McMackin IS a left-handed
pitcher. who did good work for Paterson
during all Of last season. lie is ex-
pected TO prove valuable acquisition 10
the already strong pitching corps.
The others may be considered as old
PLAYERS. most of them having been with
the team all OF last season. They consist
OF Adam ROthfuss. catcher; Jack Roth
fuss first base; ed" Daley, third base
and Stewart. shortstop. The latter was
with the local team the great part or
last season. lie played for time with
the Pittsburg National League Club, and
covers a great deal Of ground.
The outfeld VIII be well taken care OF
by such strong players as Wright,
O'Hagan. and Boyd. Gettinger how
ever. has just been secured from the
Louisville club, and as lie IS strong out
fielder. he will probably make the team.
Newark is especially strong in the pitcn-
ing department, while the inleld IL very
fast.

The interest that is being taken IN
baseball in Lancaster this season is
greater than ever before, although this

This interest is. perhaps, due TO the fact
that Lancaster has not been represent

the massaores IN Spain, is not extinct.
We ourselves have had, in Guiteau,
typical illustration Of the anarchistic
temper, which may be said to be COM
posed Of vanity aud malignity. The van
ity without the malignlty would be harm
less, since the tendency of vanity is to
make man seek the appreciation of his
fellows. With the addition of malignity,
q quality not in itself unsocial or danger
GUS, it becomes mere itch for notoriety
Of any kind. La the cases of the militant
anarchists it is also desire for the APP
probation of those whose appreciation is
a disgrace. 1t Was to the applause of
other anarchists that the homicidal an
archists looked for their reward.
1t was the business of society to see that
they should be baked of this reward, and
should not even attain the notoriety for
which a number of them had shown that
they were willing to brave death.
To put them to death as quietly as
possible was the most exemplary way of
disposing of them, and this was the policy
that the European governments pursued
so far as their laws would permit. A
noteworthy feature of the present case is
the silence which the other anarchists
maintain. A few years ago they would
have openly exalted in the crime,
and given out boldly that it
was the work of an anarchist or
ganization. This attitude is no doubt
due in A large measure to the repressive
laws that have been passed against them
in all the countries of Europe during the
past few years. Anarchlsm is on the

SHOULD BE OREYEl.

During the consideration of the Ding
ley bill, the New MEXICAN took occasion
to advocate the passage of the Elkins
shipping bill, believing that the provls-
ions of that bill would MD American
shipping and be an advantage to the
cause of protection. The provisions of
Senator Elkins' bill were incorporated
into the Dngley tariff bill, sections %,
23 and "a, and became law. The leading
principle of these sections is almost o
literal transcript from the shipping law
of 1888, and reads as follows:
"That discriminating duty of 10 per
cent advalorem, in ADDITION to the duties
posed by law, shall be levied, collected
and paid on all goods, wares or merchan-
disc which ehall be imported in vessels
not of the United States, or which being
the production or manufacture of any
foreign country not contiguous to the
United States shall come into the United
States from such contiguous country"
Hardly had this become law when the
Canadians tried in the most dishonest
manner to evade it's provisions. by re-
ceiving imports from abroad, transport
ing them by rail to custom house on the
border and endeavoring to pass them
through by paying "the duties imposed
by law" only. Fortunately the first at
tempt was summary checked by the
stoppage of certain diamonds which the
attorney general decided must pay the
discriminating duty. But another scheme
is on foot which is to run such goods
through in bond, and the New MEXICAN
hopes that the attorney general will
promptly decide that this scheme also is
ouly another attempt of the tricky Can
adam importers to evade the plain
language of the statute as above quoted.
This country is under no obligation to
aid these unfriendly neighbors in cheat
ing the United States treasury out of
just dues, In the wars of the revolution,
of 1912 and the rebellion, the Canadian
government embraced every opportunity
to give aid and comfort to the enemies
of the Union, and there exists no good
reason why Canada should be favored.
The laws of the United States are made
for the benefit of Americans and not for.

In the matter of cures the insane
asylum at Las Vegas has been singularly
fortunate showing 16 per cent of recov-
cries since the opening of the institution
in May, $685. and this is the face of the
fact that at the time of opening many of
the patients we're gathered from the
various jails of the territory, and were in
anything but a condition favorable for a
course of treatment looking to recovery.
If there is another institution of the kind
in the country that can show equally good
results, it has not been heard from.
