BASE BALL.

The Wheellngs Will begin arriving for
the ante-season practice before the end
OF the present week. Manager Lyle
forwarded tickets to twelve OF the
players on Monday. Those to whom
tickets went were Pitchers Wells,
Crabill, Poole, Mahaffey and Kane;
First-baseman kim. Third-baseman
Niles, outfelders Dobbs, Durrett and
Engle. and Catchers Latimer and Gus
s!boln. 1t Will be noted that the Nall
ers Will line up for practice minus the
services OF Secohd-baseman Mazena
and Short-stop Woodlock, and they will
not make their appearance until Nick
Young rules THAI they belong to
Wheeling and are not properly signed
by Syracuse. With Manager Lyle, out
filder Donovan and Catcher Hunt, who
are already here, there will be fifteen
players on hand this week, and with
local players 1t will be an easy matter to
line up two teams for practice.
The team will play Its first exhibition
games on Monday and Tuesday of next
week. when the Terre Haute team OF
the Indiana league, makes its initial
appearance. The Terre Hautes are be-
Ing assembled at Pittsburgh this week.
Neither team will have had any prac-
tice when they meet, so the best kind OF
ball playing cannot be anticipated

MISSOTRI'S -4NTJ-TR UST L.4W

1t has been found hard to make laws
against the trusts that would hold They
have been discovered to be "unconstitu-
tional' or otherwise worthless. But
those who are fighting the trusts in
Missouri are hoping that they have an
antitrust law in their State that
amounts to something. 1t appears that
under the Missouri antitrust law Of
1891 a combination doing business in
violation of the law cannot collect its
accounts, and recently the National
Lead company of st. Louis, Missouri.
trust in the form of corporation so as
to avoid the law, brought suit to recover
$1,7O0 owed by the S. II. Grote Paint
Store company of st. Louis. The de-
fence of the Paint Store company was
though in the form of corporation,
was trust and came under the ban
of the law of 1891. One section of that
law reads as follows: ANY purchaser
of any article or commodity from any
individual company or corporation
transa citing business contrary to the
preceding sections of this act shall not
be liable for the price or payment for
such article or commodity, and may
plead this act as defence to any suit
for such price or payment" The Gr0t
trial was in the Circuit court and there
the National Lead company won. Than
the case was appealed and the finding
is reversed and a new trial ordered,
The evidence showed that the National
Lead Trust was organized in 1887 to
control the lead business of the coun-
try. 1t continued under the trust fol m
of organization until 1891, at which
time it had absorbed thirty companies
in the United States and Mexico engag-
ed in the paint and lead business.
1t is too soon for the trust fighters Of
Missouri to crow confidently, but if they
really have law that prevents trust
from collecting debts in their State they
have something to crow over.

FREE. BUT yor roo FREE.

This Is a free country, but it would
perhaps be little too free if such work
as Edward Atkinson has been doing
were allowed to go on unnoticed and
unrebuked, Of course it is attaching a
good deal Of Importance to Mr.. Atkin
son and his league to stop the antrim
perialistic literature that had been
started on it's way to the United States
troops in the Philippines. Perhaps the
soldiers wouldn't read it, and perhaps If
they did read it it wouldn't make much
impression on them. But the govern
ment seems to be justified in discourage
ing what is really a direct attempt to
influence the minds of the soldiers
against the work they are doing and
to weaken their force. If the pamph-
lets had gone unhindered and If they
had melted a mutiny they would have
done no more than that which is in
them really means So the stopping of
them Is not an abuse Of power. In
some countries such work as Mr.. At
kinson has done would be called trea-
son, and he would be dealt with very

Editor Pulitzer of the New York
World can see some things pretty well,
even if his eyes are poor. We think he
sees clearly when he sees and says that
if Bryan again puts the free silver issue
to the fore and fights on it, many in the
party will stand aloof, but If he is con-
tent to let free silver sink to the back
ground and fight the battle on the great
questions of expansion or anti-expan-
sion and anti-monopoly or trusts, then
he will receive wide support. Mr.. Pull
itzer adds Not only will he have the
united Democratic party behind him,
but he will also be supported by the
vast hosts of moderate people who have
been alienated by the new departure
of our constitutional government, which
the present imperialist policy means.
There is force in this. But can Bryan
drop the free silver issue without get
ting dropped himself, and can the Dem
ocratic party change its spots and be
sensible and shrewd? If it can and if
it will put good nominee on an anti
trust and anti-expansion platform with
very mild Socialistic plank thrown in,
it's chances of success will be much bet
ter than they are now, or than they
now seem likely to be.
