matter Of indifference to the owners as
long as the people pay their admission
fees. While the individual clubs are MAIN
tanned as distinct representatives Of cities,
even though the stock may be held by
others than residents Of those Cities the
public interest is preserved. for there re-
mains spirit Of local pride in the organi-
cation, however foreign may be its make
up. This fiction Of localization is all that
stands between the game and utter de-
moralization and loss Of patronage.
The depressing effect of coalition of
once rival interests upon the public appre-
citation Of a sport was distinctly shown
when the great bicycle trust was formed by
the association of the leading manufac-
turers. They exchanged patents and spe-
cial features, and the result was series
Of bicycle makes without the Individual
ity which pertained to them In other times
One of the principal causes of the stimu-
lation Of the bicycle trade was the con-
slant championship of the virtues Of spe-
cial makes by their riders. At one time
this disposition, leading to animated ais
cussions wherever two or three bicyclists
were gathered together, was 80 pronounced
as to be national joke. But as soon as
all wheels became similar. the rivalry be-
tween riders slackened and the interest
diminished. 1t is today difficult to arouse
any concern whatever in the respective
merits of the various makes of wheels.
The base ball managers of the country
should cake warning from this experience
They will find that the public is loyal as
long as the sport is kept clean, free from
rowdytsm and disassociated from the idea
of a general copartnership. There must be
rivalry, or close imitation, to persuade
the throngs to visit the ball parks to see
the professionals play games in the name Of
one or another city or league.

Liberality to Colonies.

From the PhfIadeIph1a PreaS.
A tariff Is maintained by every civilized
country against its colonies. The duty is
sometimes lower than on articles from
other foreign countries, but it Is always
levied and it's proceeds always go into the
general treasury. One-quarter the imports
Of Great Britain come from colonies. From
many of them-the West Understandable
imports make up large share. The du-
ties in all Of them go into the national ex-
chequer. The colony reaps no benefit The
United States has adopted different
course. AS with Porto Rico, as long as a
duty is levied on the products Of the Philip
pine Islands imported into the United
States, the revenue is paid into the treasury
of the Philippine Islands and used for their
benefit. Whatever duty the Philippine pro-
ducer pays on the sugar and tobacco raised
in the islands On their entrance into the
United States will directly add to the reye-
nue. OF the treasury into which he pays his
taxes.

TiIlman-McLaurin Fight.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

The Tillman-McLaurin squabble in the
Senate on Monday was unnecessary, but
it was inevitable. The two senators from
South Carolina, although nominaIIy mem
bers of the same political party, differ In
their practices If not in their principles.
Each processes to be democrat. McLau-
rim is the kind Of democrat who believes
that his party exists as an agent in ma
tional progress, while Tillman seems to
think that 1t is more important that 1t con-
troll the offices than that the nation ad-
vances Then, too, McLaurin wants the
south to consider questions on their merits
instead of accepting or rejecting them ac-
cording they are proposed by black men
or white men. The fight in the southern
ttnue till the McLaurin ideal or something
like it is accepted. That Is why the squab-
bic was inevitable. But IL the Tillmans
were a little broader minded there would
be no disagreement. r..

A Great Corporation. Great Work.

| The latest announcement in the way of

| East rivers in order to secure a direct en-
trance into New York city and by way of
Long Island City through ali-raii con-
\ nection with the New Haven road. This

of the necessary terminal company having
been already presented at Albany and the
plans filed with the county clerk of New

| This improvement means much to the
| travelling public of the east in it's promise
| OF an elimination of the present disadvan-
| tages attending railroad entrance into New
| York and through railroad service between
| the south and New England. 1t affords
| perhaps the happiest solution of the diff

many years. 1t is in harmony, too, with

In Washington the same policy of broad
betterment is conspicuously In evidence as
the plans for the new union station are
brought nearer to perfection. There is
every prospect that this terminal will be
one OF the finest in the world, building of
beautiful design and material and so To-
Gated as to ensure its perpetual position as
one OF the conspicuous features Of the
capitals attractiveness. Indeed, the out
look Is that here will be found the ideal
terminal station. Of maximum utility and
minimum invasion Of private and public
rights, such a station. in short, as Wash
1ngton has always desired and is now ap-
parently to receive through the broad pub
lie spiritedness of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company.
These eastern betterments in various
cities will cost an enormous sum of money,
but they will demonstrate and confirm the
position of the Pennsylvania in the railroad
world. That corporation has shown stead
f&stly throughout recent years a disposition
to solve it's problems in the manner best

The Schools and the Cigarette Evil.

The parents of the District will unques-
t.onably heartily indorse the efforts of the
school trustees to reduce the evil Of cigar
cite smoking as far as 1t prevails among
the boys of Washington. Last nights
meeting of the board developed the fact
that it has been found difficult In practice
for the teachers and principals to prevent
the boys from smoking just outside of the
school premises, and the rule was forth
with amended TO enlarge the Jurisdiction Of
these authorities to enable them to expel
or less severely punish boys who smoke In
the neighbOrhood Of the schools.
The cigarette is serious menace to the
growing youth. 1t fixes the tobacco habit
upon him too firmly. usually, for him to
shake off in later years. The poison of the
nicotine and of the drugs which, 1t Is be-
Heved, are used In certain brands has an
especially deleterious effect upon the lads
In the years of their physical development
PredispOsitions TO disease are accentuated
thereby and the constitution of many a boy
has been wrecked under the influence of
this habit combined with the strain of
study.
The parents. IT will probably be found. are
generally in sympathy with the trustees in
this fight. 1t is to their interest to work
hanG in hand with the teachers and prin-
cipals in warning the boys to abandon the
vicious habit There may be some elders
who will resent the attempt ON the part of
the authorities to regulate the morals of
their youngsters. Their opposition will
serve no good end The trustees ask that
the boys be kept from this habit while they
are studying. for the sake of the boys
themselves, and not because of any abstract
theory or out of a desire to exercise undue
control over the pupils
