Young Ladies Play Basket

Ten graceful. pretty maidens played
basket bah at the Y. w. c. a. gymna-

winter months in an earnest manner,
and after the first stages Of stage

played a game Of basket bah that would

Shortly after o'clock the contestants
appeared upon the field and We're greet

teams were dressed in natty black gym
costumes which consisted Of a loose
fitting blouse, short skirt, black stock

bright red collar and red ribbons kept
their pretty locks from floating in the
breezes. The other team had white
braid upon their collars, and their hair
was tightly tied with cream white rib

Oishonorable Politics.

with the supreme court of Pennsyl-
vania now considering the Quay case
in all its legal aspects there is no call
for newspaper discussion of the tch-
nical points involved; yet is cannot be
inopportune TO point out the essential
unfairness of the political methods dis
closed.
If the opposition to quay should by
legal means succeed in preventing his
recollection. although ultimately un-
able to make good their charges of
crime. an instance of injustice woutd
be presented for which there would be
no redress. such sacrifice Of Quay
would he an example for similar sac
rinces in others fields of politics. All
that would aftcrward be necessary to
defeat prominent candidacy for pub
lie office would be to lasso the cam
didate by means of trumped UP Grim
inal charge calculated to involve his
candidacy in public suspicion and
odium until after the date of election,
which would be sufficient so far as
the pXigencies Of vindictiNe politics
are concerned, regardless of the right
or wrong. Ii the candidate thus las
socd were young man he might live
long enough tu get political satisfac-
tion but if an old man Ee would be
Inundated and perchance permanently
injured whilc his INSCRIPTIONS adVer-
saries were enjoying the stolen spoils.
Such prospect is intolerably repul-
sive to the public's instructive regard
for fair play. 1t is not true that "ali
is fair in politics" FalsifiCation is
not fair. Nmdictive persecution is not
fair. The use of the law courts TO
thwart or further political ambition
without regard to equity or justice IS
not fair; on the contrary, it IS despic-
able. Its unchallenged establishment
in American politics would mark a long
step in the degradation of elective gov
ernment.

THE SENSIBLE WAY.


From the Chicago Record.
Admiral Walkers plan for the Mica
rssua canal is first TO make treaty with
Great Britain by which she will agree to
permit the United States TO construct and
control the canal, provided her ships
have the same privileges of traffic that
are enjoyed by the merchant marine and
men-of-war of the United States. lie is
confident there would be no difficulty in
making such an arrangement Great Brit
ain does not want the canal, but she
does want the right TO navigate it; ana
being the greatest maritime power on
earth, having as many ships as all the
rest of the nations put together, she is en-
titled to be considered.
Having obtained the formal waiver Of
rights from Great Britain under the Clay
on-Bulwer treaty, Admiral Walker would
proceed TO make a contract with the Chi
cago drainage syndicate for the con-
struction of the canal for certain price,
within a certain limit of time, and pay
the cash as fast as the work Is done ana
properly inspected under the supervision

Is very largely influenced and Increased
by the fact that it's own ships are the
means Of its communication and trade.
Their influence on all the agencies OF
such q trade is naturally and properly
directed to the development and in
crease Of the trade of their own coun-
try. And so, while the United States
have slept or been Indifferent to these
considera tions, the trade with and mar
kets Of most of the nations using such
things as the producing and manufact-
uring nations have to sell, has fallen
to and been absorbed by others than
the United States. The great bulk Of
our export trade must depend upon
shipping. No theory or doctrine Of
protection OF free trade, no theory or
doctrine of finance and currency can
affect that the fact that our only means
of communication and intercourse with
more than 30 per cent. of all the in
habitants of the globe is shipping. In
order that the United States can fair
ly compete with other nations In the
markets beyond the seas, it is essen
tial that our means of communication
and intercourse with the buying ma
tions should be put under the protec-
tion of our own flag, and on footing
Of equality at least with our competi-
tors"

Confronted by Difficulties.

The reply of the English government
to the cars invitation to a disarma-
ment congress of the powers has been
published. In it Lord Salisbury notes
the strong current of public opinion in
favor of a lessening of the economic
strain of militarism and adds THE
statements which constitute the
grounds of the emperor's proposal are
but too well justified. 1t is unfortun-
the maintenance Of peace is generally
prOfessed. and while, in fact, serious
and successful efforts on more than
one recent occasion have been made
with that object by the great powers,
there has been a constant tendency on
the part of almost every nation to in
crease it's armed force and to add to
the already vast expenditure on appli-
ances of war. The perfection of the
instruments thus brought into use.
their extreme costliness and the hor-
rible carnage and destruction which
would ensue from their employment on
a large scale have acted without doubt
II
the burdens imposed by this process
on the population affected must, if pro-
longed, produce a feeling of unrest and
discontent, menacing both internal and
external tranquility,
Her majestys government will glad
ly cooperate in the proposed effort to
provide a remedy for this evil, and if
in any degree it succeeds they feel that
the sovereign to whose suggestion it
was due will have richly earned the
gratitude of the world at large. Your
excellency is therefore authorized to
assure Count Muravieff RUSSIAN for
eign ministerl that the emperors pro-
posal is willingly accepted by her
majesty's government and the queen
will have the pleasure Of delegating a
representative to the conference when
ever an invitation is received. Her
majesty's government hope that the
invitation may be accompanied by
some indication of the special points
to which the attention of the confer
ence will be directed as a guide to the
selection of the British representative
and the assistants by whom he should
be accompanied"
No doubt from the Russian stand
point one special point would be the
reduction by at least one-half of Eng
lands naval armament; while from the
French standpoint the restoration by
Germany of Alsace-L Lorraine would be
held to be a requisite of q reduction of
land forces. In the meantime the Ger
| man reichstag is urged by the Hohen-
| zollern dynasty to increase both the
| German army and navy; the develop
