carious health OF Mr.. Hobart may con-
strain him TO decline another nominal

afforded for not renominating the cid
ticket But the ideas for which the adj
minsstration is to stand would be itly
personified by Mckinley and Alger.
We are informed by gentlemen At
Washington who have no occasion for
misrepresenfing the facts that four
members of the cabinet are convinced

HANNA AND THE TRUSTS


Senator Hanna, having conciliated
opposition In his own party In his own
state, not this time with an az, but
with the making OF some Loo promises
to give opponents that many federal
jobs recently released from civil service
rules by Mckinley. now comes forward
with the announcement that the matter
OF trusts is by no means political ques-
ton
With 4 fine grasp of the situation
Hanna serves notice on all those who
oppose the trusts, and especially on all
democrats, that this matter cannot be
made party Issue"
With splendid hypocrisy, Mark Han
ma says that the next republican ma
tional convention viii meet this oues-
ton fearlessly and intelligently, with
out the hysteria of prejudice and Popu-
Ism. bur with due regard TO the actual
effects of these combinations upon Ia

pudiation- It viii carefully 6ifferen-
tiate between the combinations that re-
duce the price of commodities TO the
consumers and those that seek TO limit
production. thus Increasing prices and
diminishing the opportunities for la
Dor"
No doubt Hanna is correct The re-
publican national convention viii meet
the trust question just as .-fearlessiy'
and just as '-intelligently" as the st.
Louis republican convention met the
question of bimetallism and of civil
service
And after it has thus "feariessly and
intelligently" met the trust question,
If it secures votes enough 10 put it in

Everything went lovely for the Senators
at New York yesterday until the last in
ming. Weyhing had been pitching fine ball
ninth, however, saw the Giants uncork a
batting streak, and after the smoke had
cleared away Washington was compelled
to accept a defeat.in place Of what seemed
an assured victory. -
Such surprises are part of the national
game, just the same as tase hits and errors,
and illustrate the necessity of playing ball
all the time, but no club cares to get the
frappe end OF such deal very often.
Weyhing has pitched an excellent game
every time he has been in the box, and
played in hard luck to fall down yesterday
in the final round. While defeat at the
hands Of such band of misfts as the
Giants is bitter pill for Gus to swallow,
the veteran twirler can be depended upon
to win more games than he loses II prop
erly supported by the men behind him.
The New York World has this to say
Of the game:
Andy Freedman's Pigmies wrestled
with the Senators yesterday and won.
They had luck and the assistant umpire
with them. Van Haltren was called safe
at first by Mr.. Andrews in the third in
ming when, rs a matter Of fact, he was out
by several feet, and even the bleacheries
couldn't stand for it. The Senators made
a great roar, but, of course, there was no
chance to have the decision reversed. 1t
proved costly to the visitors and Manager

DIAMOND DUST.

The inyigorating effect of the cheers from
friendly crowd OF spectators is being felt by the
Tebeau tribe this season. As a result the ST.
Louis Club is leading in the race for the PEN
nant.
The Quakers carry their batting eyes with them,
and are hitting the ball hard and often.
The warm weather has caused the players to
get the kinks out Of their muscles, and games
from now on will be full Of that snap and ginger
which makes baseball the most fascinating of
all outdoor sports
The Washington Club managcment's generosity
in permitting the ladies free entrance twice a
week has called forth praise from both the play
and the public.
Laioie, the hard hitting Frenchman. of the
Philadelphias, in addition to being one OF the
best batters in the League, is also bringing forth
paudits for the manner in which heplays the
second bag.
With Griffin in st. Louis outer garden the
team would be materially benefited and would
advance from the class of rennant possibilities to
probabilities
The Orioles under McGraw's management, are
not the easy marks the knowing ones predicted
before the season began.
Keeler and Kelley, Of the Brooklyns, al
ways in the game to win and Hlnlon would as
soon part with his right arm as either of them.
The Reds lowering around the 500 mark,
and may in the near future take dip into the
second division ranks. The fault seems to lie
with the twirlers.
Oscar Streit, who made his debut in fast com.
pany the present season. is product Of the iron
region OF Alabama. He is left-hander, and with
experience may develop into first-class pitcher.
Manager Irwin's team. though at present near
the bottom rung OF the baseball ladder shows
decided signs Of getting in the hunt, and is at
present playing good, hard ball. The season at
present is in its swaddling clothes.
II the Senator's win a fair per cent of their
games while on the present trip a royal welcome
will be extended them on their return. They
will encounter some hard propositions in the home
OF the Hanlonites. but should break even at least
with Days Giants.
Cy Young holds up well under his weight OF
baseball years. and is still of the best twirlers
in the business.
Williams, Of the Piratical aggregation, is not
yet up to the Collins class Of third basemen
The ruffian-l like tactics as exhibited by the St
Louis team at Pittsburg recently does more to
wean people away from the love Of baseball than
does a losing club. There is such a thing as
going to too great length to win a game.
McCinnity. Of the Baltimores, has proven to
be one of the finds Of the season. Few twirlers
are pitching superior ball at present.
The Cleveland press is still loyal to Lave Cross
and his team, although the club does play to
empty seats - s.-,-.-'
