 Minor Leagues Want Protection.
 The minor leagues have paid about $6200 into the coffers of the National League for protection for the 1902 seas
 As soon as the announcement of the abrogation of the old National agreement was made demands were immediately forwarded to Secretary Nick Young for a return of this money; but nothing has been done by the National League in the matter and this point was discussed at length and will be brought up again to- morrow.

it seems to be the opinion that Corbetts
forces will stand solid, that the Nc
Bride adherents will not go to Corbett
and that the Democrats will not step
in and settle the Republican fight. In
other words, there are many who be-
lieve that there will be no elect on.
There is talk Of Mitchell entering the
fight and it is evident that Fulton and
his friends have some hope, but as
long as CUrbett and the Democrats
forces hang together neither of these
gentlemen can lie elected.
The Corbett meh claim that = since
they are majority of the Republican
members they cannot reasonably be
asked to give in to the minority and
probably will not do so, If there shall
be an election it will probably take
place on the last night of the session,

course OF his lecture to the students
of Yale University. Justice David j.
Brewer. Of the United States supreme
court, referring to the prohibition laws,
OF Kansas. said:
"lf every man land woman) In Kansas
had done his best since 1880 to en-
force the prohlbltory legislation OF that
state. George Washington would not
have been asked to divide his hatchet

The problem Of government by the
people depends upon the way service

man who has solemn sense OF what
government by the peop.e means, the
primary and the polls are sacred
places. The college graduate can make
no excuse He is the last man in the
world who can plead ignoranc9 Of his
duty in citizenship. He leaves coll lage

Unfortunately. no one can doubt
that money is becoming factor, a
harmful factor, in our politics. There is

out Of office at least no worse than
when he came in This is an evil. and

In conclusion. the eminent jurist

that commercialism controls politics,
they will rise and will rid themselves

LONDON, Feb. l6.-The hopes that
the turning point Of the war in South
Africa is within sight, now permeating
the editorials and inspiring the mar
kets. are probably doomed to disap-
pointment. The pacifcation Of the
Beers, II accomplished, will be a slow
matter with which decisive engage
ments can effect but little.
The war office expects from General
Kitchener no stroke such as settled for
ever the future Of the Soudan. The
heads Of Greas Britain's war depart
ment scarcely know more than the
public except that the stern laeonic
commander Of the troops of South Afri-
Gu is busily engaged in syStematizi 6

Iaign. In him they trust implicitly.

Versation frankly confess that it is ut

time which must elapse before the end
