FIRST GAME.

There was mush sleeping by players and
spectators alike in the succeeding game.
There was not enough excitement at any
stage to keep them awake. When 1t was
early seen that the Columbus were hope
lessly in the rear, the crowd began to
thin out. and but few rooters were left at
the end of the game. The game was alb
soutely void of brilliant features. The
score follows:

IN CHESS CIRCLES.

The week has been an unusually uull oHo
at the local chess club. due to the fact that
so many of the ordinary round of players
are voters and went away to cast their
votes
Mr. w f. Napier. one of the brilliant
young players of the country, has given mp
his residence In Brooklyn and accepted
business situation in Ptttsburg, and has
been given charge of the chess column OF
the Pittsburg Dispatch.
Mr. c. O. Wilcox, in the current tourney
of the New Orleans Chess Club. has rec
ord of thirty straight wins TO his credit and
no losses, with ten still to play. His strong
est opponents, Professor Brent and Judge
Labatt, have been met and beaten.
This week are given the final examples OF
the Scotch opening. Two games are gwen
worthy of attention, the more so from the
fact that the annotators are Steinltz ana
Schiffers the former Russian champion,
tutor of Tschigorin.
This example of the Scotch game was
played at Hastings, when Mieses made 1t
his main reliance when playing White. The
notes are by Schiffers.

According 20 a local newspaper, the ven
cradle Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts, remarked
the other day: 81 thought TO end my days
in peace. cannot do It. This terrible war
in the Philippines weighs upon me so
heavily that l cannot sleep at night"
Why should the terrible war in the
Philippines" rob this aged Senator of his
the most senseless rebellion of recent times
has been fostered by wicked men in this
country, and that the blood with which
the Island Of Luzon is soaked is on their
heads? General Lawton said: IF should
De hit by Filipino bullet, it might as
well have been fired by one of my own
men!" Lawton sleeps. The terrible war
in the Philippines" has closed his eyes
forever. The ball in effect fired by the
Boston junta settled the matter of his re-
pose.
If the remorse which murders the sleep
OF the Hon. George Frisbie Hoar is TO be
considered as the precursor of penitence
and amendment. far be II from us TO say
an unsympathetic word in connection with
his sorrow. Rather let 1t be hoped that
confession and adequate penance may be
followed by absolution while yet he clings
to a life the evening of which is wen in
twilight. II the Ethiopian has changed or
is about to change his skin. all good people
should be glad, as in the presence of a
miracle. But no one could be more pleased
than surprised for Mr.. Hoar and his moral
and mental attitudes are not strangers to
the country.
In his public career he has always been
a narrow and bitter partisan. giving his
voice and vote in Congress for the most
outrageous measures of his party upon
sanctimonious grounds. While he was as
sisting in the attempt to fasten Force
bill upon the intelligence OF the South, he
claimed the sanction OF the Great Jehovah
and the Commonwealth Of Massachusetts.
When, as a member of the Electoral Com
mission, he was doing his utmost to pre-
vent the Inauguration Of Mr.. Tilden, the
legally elected President of the United
States. he yet posed as pure representa-
tive of Republican honesty and the Cod
Of the UHitarians,
For thirty years and more Mr.. Hoar has
served his State in the House of Repre-
sentatives and in the Senate in a way Pc
culiar TO himself. His long and conspicuous
official career has led systematically
and relentlessly up to the evolution of
the one GROWING fact by which he will be
in the history of his times.
Incidentally, it teaches US that truth, in
deed, is as strange as fiction, and that

theless, founded firmly upon an earnest
wrong-in the trust case at bar, between
public good and private greed.
1t is the general opinion that the sys-
TEN of ethics which President Hadley
would inaugurate is already in operation;
that the comparatively near future will
see the achievement of its aim, the sup
preston of the monopolistic octopus whose
tentacles have stretched out in every direc-
ton, squeezing the industrial breath out OF
every competitor who made q commercial
declaration of independence.
A system OF ethics is an empty theory
in these times unless it develops into
political sentiment. The individual vel
fare is so far dependent upon the preva-
lence Of a proper conception and admins
tration of the science of government that
1t is difficult to separate private and pub
Iic affairs.
There are signs that the ethical senti-
ment on the trust question has for some
time been crystallized into political deter
mination. 1t promises &c bring about con-
ditions that will be gratifying to the people
as n whole 1t is intended that it shall
restore the right to compete if not actual
competition, and to restrict the corpora
tion to its proper place as servant Of the
public instead of allowing 1t to hasten
forward and establish itself as securely as

Vaccinations by pompous declaration Of

objection to Granting Public Lands
for Railway Station.

To the Editor Of The Tin 5:
Knowing your desire TO protect Wash
| ingtons beautiful parks and streets. as
well as the interests Of the taxpayers,
call attention to the Dill introduced in the
Senate by Mr.. Mcmillan on December 20.
Every citizen should use his influence to
prevent the passage of such land-grab-
bling scheme as proposed on the part OF the
Baltimore and Potomac Railroad or the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
am not opposed TO the railroads having
imposing, commodious passenger depots,
but let them be obtained in the same man
ner as the depots in the cities OF Balti
more, Philadelphia, and Jersey City were
secured. and where the railroads purchased
the land, and, in some cases, were com
PEELED to buy the right of way.
/ am surprised that the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company apparently with the
consent OF the District of Columbia Com
missionersl should ask Congress to give
up Garfield Park the only park of any i'm
portancc in Southeast Washington. 20 its
sole use and benefit Again. why should the
National Government be asked 10 make 4
gift for occupation or use of more land on
the reservation between b Street northwest
and b Street southwest. and Sixth and
Seventh Streets to the Pennsylvania Rail-
road for a larger passenger station? We
know that the use Of the land in said res
ervation which it now occupies was given
it at or about the inception OF the Civil
War as military necessity, and it is a
matter of much surprise to many people
that Congress has not long since demanded
that this rich railroad corporation move
off of this Government property.
The bill referred to requires the aban-
Comment of parts of many streets without
one dollar Of compensation to either the
National or District Government. 1t even
commands the United States to demolish
the brick and stone building used by the
Fish Commission and erect one elsewhere
at the Governments expense.
II the Pennsylvania Railroad is really de-
sircus of giving Washington u passenger
station commensurate with its national i'm
portaace, why ought it not be required to
relinq ish all Government reservations or
parks and locate on land for which it has
or can have a fee simple title by purchase?
Is 1t because by locating on a national
reservation 1t avoids paying for the land
and also escapes taxes, either on the land
It occupies or the improvements on the
same?
hope that all our citizens will do their
part to defeat this inequitable bill.

National MiIitin Rcfnrm-

II Is good thing that our military au-
thorities have been able to arrange for the
presence Of an American military observer
with the Boer army in the field, and It is
to be regretted that the consequent assign
ment could not have been made in time 70
enable the officer selected to reach General
Joubert's headquarters soon enough to wit
neas the operations now about to take place
on the line of the Tugela River. Indeed.
It is pity that the United States could not
have half dozen military experts on the
Dutch side Of the fight, because it is not
hard to see that there is a great deal for US
to learn to an advantage from the organiza-
ton, equipment, mobilization, plan, and
tactics that combinedly have transformed
an ignorant and practically semi-civillzed
community OF frontier herders and farmers
into an army capable of inlicting reverses
upon disciplined regular troops, and OF put
ting the military resources and ability of a
great Empire to the most extreme test II
has had TO sustain In the whole course OF
its modern history.
Several to us most important facts have
Boer preparations for hostilities, and the
means and methods the government at Pre-
toria has used to place its Fighting force
upon a war footing. Perhaps the most in
teresting feature OF the subject lies in the
evidence which has been furnished, that
recent professional opinion, preceding the
struggle In South Africa, has leaned to
contempt for irregular or militia troops,
and has been too confident of the necessity
for long training In the ranks, as z pre-
requisite 10 effective service In actual cam
paigning OF course, we must not rush 10
hasty conclusions on the strength of the in
sufficient data supplied by a contest hardly
yet beyond its preliminary stages, but,
whatever may be the future Of the South
African wal, 1t has already established GER
tain propositions. conclusions from which
will not be varied no matter what ultimate
results may be attained by the belligereEts.
For instance, II Is not TO be gainsaid that
the autumn campaign in Natal, in Cape
Colony, and in Griqualand has demon
strated the enormous advantage OF mounted
over dismounted infantry-an advantage
which must be considered not less than
thirty three to forty per cent Of the nu-
merical military factor, other things being
equal. This is not exactly new reyela-
ton. Its technical truth and value were
demonstrated in the American Civil War
by Generals Sheridan Stuart and Forrest,
but European authorities have ignored the
Drinclpie largely because of the superior
facilities for concentration which are Of
fered by the elaborate networks OF the
European railway systems.
A still more important matter from the
American viewpoint is the apparent ease
with which, within very few years. the
presence and instruction of highly educated
and experienced European special officers
