likes the United States and admires
the principle of united sovereign states
conducting their affairs peacefully
without standing armies" The prin-
ciple is an admirable one and it is bare
ly possible Europe may apply it some
of these days. But when the United
States of Europe copyright by Mr..
Stead get that far along it is more
than probable there will be a number
of thrones sent to the historical lum-

Why have Irishmen grown content
to remain in their native land? WHY
has their demand for separation from
Great Britain weakened? Why has
the record OF political and agrarian
crime fallen below that of England it
self? Chiefly because parliament has
made timely or belated concessions to
justice. Recent legislation has made
it possible for the peasant to acquire
a title to the land he cultivates, and
has given him a voice in the local gov
ernment. The hard technical claim OF
the landlords vested rights has been
qualified in the interests of reason and
humanity. The methods of peaceful
agitation. although sullied by hysteri-
cal passion. have won more than cen
tury's outbreaks OF violence.

REDUCING THE CIRCUIT.
An Eight Club League Now Almost a
Certainty.

New York, Dec. 16.-Ihe National
League magnates abruptly closed their
five days session at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel today after having been in con-
ference a little over an hour. The adj
iournment was taken with the under
standing that they were to be called to-
cether in the near future to listen to 4
report to be made by a special committee
appointed to provide ways and means for
the reduction Of the league circuit. The
committee consists of John t. Brush,
of Cincinnati; James Hart, Chicago; Col
onel John /. Rogers, Philadelphia and
A. H. Soden, of Boston.
According to the expressed views of
certain of the magnates an eight club
league is now almost a certainty. The
appointment of the committee in question
means that the majority of the club own
ers are DESTROYS of the reduction in the
circuit. The matter has now narrowed
down to one of how much money Will
be necessary to buy off the four clubs II
is proposed to drop, namely Louisville,
Baltimore Cleveland and Washington.
The only serious troubIe expected Is
with the owners of the Baltimore club
This franchise is owned by the Brook
lvn-Baltimore syndicate, consisting of /,
4. Abel, Charles Ebbits, Harry Won
Der Horst and Ned Hanlon.
At the meeting just closed the mag
mates saw fit to make things rather un'
pleasant for the observation-disclosures con
tingent, and as a result it is said that
the original price named for the Baiti.
more franchise has been jumped several
points.
As to the Washington franchise which
is held by the Wagners, it IS believed
that the owners have had an understand
ing with their brother magnates.
The power of the committee appointed
today is limited to the arranging OF de
tails only. Its report is not binding on
the league, but some of the magnates II
order to see the circuit reduced will ac-
cede to anything like reasonable terms
The report may be presented at spe'
ial meeting in January.
The schedule and umpire questions
were also brought UP at today's meet
ING by MIR. Hart, but they were laid over
until after the report of the special com
nlittee is made to the league. Mr.. Hart
wants a schedule calling for 132 games
for each club i'm case the twelve clut
circuit is maintained, and one calling fol
40 games in case of an eight club league
next year. Most of the magnates VIII
leave New York tonight.

AN INFAMOUS MEASURE. +"

The people of all the South Atlantic
States are deeply interested in having
two or more rival railroad systems. The
people in Central North Carolina have
been of late glad to see that the Sea-
board system was developing strength
enough to make it great system, Civ
ing Raleigh a place on a through line
from Tampa to New York. At the last
session Of the Legislature it was granted
charter to consolidate the various
independent roads in the systems and
has recently perfected Its plans for con-
solidation preparatory to its through
schedules.
Elsewhere in today's paper we pub
fish a letter written by Mr.. f.. St john
vice. president, exposing a deep seated
conspiracy to prevent the consolidation
of the Seaboard system. The bill that
ought to be entitled IAN act to give the
Southern Railway a monopoly of Rail-
road Business in the South" passed the
Georgia Senate before anybody, except
the initiated" saw ''the cat in the meal
tub 1t is now pending in the House.
After the exposure of its interest, it is
not to be believed thaf it can pass any
legislative body not owned body, soul
and breeches by the Southern railroad.
A few days ago we sent member
of the staff of the News and Observer
to Savannah to witness the opening of
the new line of the Southern Railway
and rejoiced that the South was about
to have three great systems of railway
from New York to Florida. There is
room for all, there is business enough
for them, and all ought to be accorded
equal opportunities. The introduction
of this bond bill in the Georgia Legisla-
ture, the attempts of Ryan to prevent the
consolidation, and the other unfriendly
acts against the Williams syndicate,
shows that the Southern railway will
leave no stone unturned to prevent the
successful organization of the Seaboard
system.
If this was mere fight for advantage
between two railroad systems, the peo-
pie would let them fight it out 1t is
more than that; it is fight to determine
whether the South is to have railroad
composition. The Southern is firmly
fixed; the Seaboard is getting fixed. The
South wishes both every success, and
opposes any measure that win throttle
either in order to give a monopoly to the
other,
Discussing the bill before the House
Judiciary Committee, COL S. G. Dun
lap, representing two short line rail-
roads in Georgia, said among other
things:
Il only accidentally heard of the bill
yesterday. No paper in the city of At
lanta or anywhere else so far as / know
has published any notice of Ill or any
comment en- it. 1t seems to have got
through the Senate without the knowl-
edge Of anybody. / don't know who is
back OF it, but it seems to be a most
adroitly drawn bill and it seems to me
i most unreasonable and unusually in
famous measure"
