L. R. Eisenburg Of Odessa, Russia, is in

he desires to make tour of the country.
Eisenberg played at Monte Carlo and sue

in good style.
At the New York state meeting at the
Thousand Islands the play for the princt-
pal prize, the Rice trophy, was tied be-
tween Howell Of the Brooklyn club and
Finn of the Manhattan.
1t was a funny mix-up over Mr. Nc
Cutcheon's prizes for the best attack and
defense in a certain variation Of the French
defense at Monte Carlo. Mr.. Reichhelm of
Philadelphia was judge, and he gave the
prize, s10O for the best attack to Pillsbury
against Marshall. Two games, those Of
Albion and Gunsberg. were submitted by
the management to him for playing the
best defense, and he divided the prize be-
tween them. Albion met Pillsbury in Paris
and told him of the award and asked him
to advance the $50, which Pillsbury did
In the meantime Mason had good game
against Gunsberg, which he forwarded to
Mr.. Reichhelm, who reopened the matter
and finally withdrew the award to Albion
and Gunsberg and adjudged it to Mason.

No Fund for Model Ship.

THE executive committee was not ac-
tuated by any narrow or dogmatic views in
declining to go into the enterprise of build
ing a ship, recommended by the chair
man of the Naval Veteran committee. The
committee could not undertake to build
such a ship because it has not enough
money. AS far as the committee is con-
cerned, 1t is mainly question of not
promising to spend funds not now on hand
and which could not be obtained. With
us rigid economy is being practiced on all
lines. For instance, the committee on en-
tertanment spent in 1892 $40, ,4SS: this year
it will spend not more than 81 600 The
committee on campfires in 1892 spent $15,-
900; their expenditures this year will prob
ably be about $500. In the face of these
figures to allow over So 900 for one feature
of the entertainment of naval veterans
would be manifestly unfair to the other
committees.
There are even stronger objections to an
outside solicitation of funds for this or
any other purpose. Local G. A. R. men and
the citizens committee set about raising
general fund for the encampment. This
was done under the authority of the en-
tire city. The sum desired was compara-
lively small. Yet it has been very difficult
to raise. A third part Of the fund sub
scribed is yet to be paid 1t would be most
unbusiness-like to jeopardize the third in
stailment of the encampment fund for this
one feature of the naval veteran program.
AS Mr.. Warner said yesterday, the execu-
tive committee could not permit it.
Lastly, we are assured the naval vet
Grams do not require such accommodations
We think a model of the Hartford would
be very desirable and would build 1t if wa
had the money. But as We cannot build it
we are glad to know. as Mr. w. Scott

Proposals to Executive Committee.
Chairman Ernest W. Bradford of the SUBJ
committee on music has made a PROPOSE
tion to the executive committee regar ding
the erection of a stand at the head of
PENNSYLVANIA avenue for the purpose of ac-
commodating the singing children who are
to represent the flag. His plan will be sub
mitted to the executive committee at its
next meeting.
For the committee on music Chairman E.
B. Hay reports that the Grand Army Band
of Canton, Ohio, which has been the con-
cert and duty band at nearly all the earlier
encampments, has offered it's services to
the executive committee for the week.
While this no doubt would be a very great
advantage, up to this time the executive
committee has not decided to have at its
disposal regular band during the week.
In matters of this kind" said Col Hay
"of course, home talent is first to be con-
sidered. We should blow our own horn
first"
Some comment was heard yesterday even
ing and this morning to the effect that the
statement given out yesterday by Chair
man b. H. Warner on the proposed con-
struction of model ship for the naval vet
erans was not sufficiently explicit to meet
all objections. 1t was held that the execu-
solicitation of funds by other bodies to con-
struct the ship, and that the people of the
city as a whole desired such provision for
the seamen sufficiently to contribute freely
toward constructing it. In answer to this
discussion prominent member of the eX-
ecutive committee said to Star reporter

Chairman Warner suggested this morn
ing that the comm Missioner of pensions
would be asked to hold an Informal recep-

building Monday, October 6. He did not
intend the building should be extensively
decorated, he said, or that the reception
should cost the government anything; but

Grams in town would be heartily pleased to

Washington from his vacation and called at

tention, he said, to file with the War De-
partment at the earliest convenient day a
bond for $4,000 for the use of the large
number of flags which that bureau is will
ing to place at his disposal if properly
secured
Mr.. Rudolph said his committee had de-
termined to offer three prizes for the beet
tered the contest. These prizes will be of
sufficient amount to induce competition, and
he thought they would excite a support and
emulation which would be very productive.
Washington had become entirely too large,
he thought, for any committee with only
moderate sum at its disposal to endeavor to
cover all business places and residences
With either flags or bunting so as TO make
the decorations attractive. His committee
was opposed to covering up any of the pub
lie buildings with decorations so to in
terfere in any way with their symmetry and
other architectural features. He has
cured the cooperation of Captain Martin
r. Tharpe in the distribution of flags and
this fact insured the faithful and efficient
execution of the committee plans. Mr.. Ru-
dolph will devote a great deal of time to
the duties of his committee.
A similar plan of encouraging enterprise
on the part of local business men is to be
adopted by Chairman W. S. Knox of the
subcommittee on illumination.

NO DANGER TO TRUSTS.
as the Protective Tariff
RefEns.

Touching on the subject of the
rust and the manner of dealing
with it, the Springfield Republican,
independent, says: 1.-The one prac-
!ica1 and effective course to be pur-
sued is to deprive the trusts of their
Tariff protection, to take away from
them their railroad protection, and
then to devise some method of en-
forcing the publicity and an account
ing to the public authority. This
prosecution of the meat trust is a
mere fash in the pan and cannot
possibly bring large results unless
t is made applicable to the incor-
On meat and cattle, and clear the
way for free importations from
nearby countries
That there Is merit, and likely to
be relief, remarks the Bin ghamton
Leader, in the adoption of this sug-
gestion is reasonable pre- sumption
IN the light of the fact that it has
been recommended by protectionist
papers, which have begun to realize.
and to admit that they realize, that
the tariff is no longer to be held
sacred when it can be used, and
when it is used, to rob the people.
AS a matter of fact, of course, rob-
berry of the people by trusts is moth
ing new; it has been going on for
some years: but there is an impress
sion among the protectionists that
the beef trust is a pioneer in the
hold-up business; that the country
has never enjoyed the pleasure of
being robbed by the ariff-protected
combines until now. AS conse-
1uence the sacred tariff has fallen
several pegs in the esteem of it's
worshipers.
Still, there is no prospect that the
true remedy will be applied, and
nothing is expected to come of the
attorney generals proceeding. The
president has been given to under
stand that the trusts don't like this
disposition of the governments to
interfere with them, and he is quite
likely to reconsider his patriotic de-
termination to call the combines to
time. A president who is ambitious
TO be renominated and reelected may
have a burning desire to serve his
country, but he cannot afford en-
tirely to overlook the interests of
number one.

THE BREECH WIDENING.
Republicans Are Breaking Up Over
the Live and Important Issue
of the Tariff.

Some of our republican contem-
poraries are so busily engaged i'll
convincing themselves that the dem
Dcratic party will not be harmonized,
that they are negiecting unfinished
business in the republican harmony
line. The New York Press, which is
republican 365 days in the year, Sun
days and legal holidays not excepted,
talks right out in meeting and hits
from the shoulder, says the Albany
Argus. 1t calls the republicans in
congress who favor the 20 per cent.
Cuban tariff reduction bill ''the dow
agers," and discusses the recent
vote in the house of representative
In the following breezy style:
whether there is any more free trade
n the differential amendment than in the
rest of the Cuban reduction bill not, the
1owagers voted for the whole thing on its
final passage; the protection republicans
voted against the whole thing its final
passage. That there was question in
the mind of any to who were voting
for free trade and who against it was shown
by that spawned old hack, Grosvenor, who
mad still enough wits in his head and agil-
ty in his bones to trot off that railroad track
At the last second before the free trade ex-

1uctor, ran him down. Grosvenor seems to
De the only ex-protection dowager of the
mouse who was able to attain to the Devery
proficiency standard of not getting caught
with the goods on him.
Whatever else may be said of this
1eliverance, it does not lack for vigor
and hot tobasco sauce. The widening
breach in the republican ranks upon
the live and important issue of the
tariff presents at once duty, and a
6rst-class opportunity, to the rapidly

WHAT RUSSELL SAGE SAYS.

There may come time when the
state will put limit upon mans for
tune.
To put a premium on brains and
honesty is the only way to level things
Up.
Any restriction of the rights of cap
ital would work incalcula bic injury to
the workingman.
Persons who are unable to acquire
money are necessarily not capable OF
its proper use or care.
The people know that up to the pres
emit time the great capitalists have
been only captains of industry.
So long as some men have more sense
and more self-control than others, just
so long will such men be wealthy.
1t is observable that the very rich
men of to-day are far more democratic
than ever before in the history of-the
world
Intelligence, industry, honesty and
thrift produce wealth, and those who
possess such qualities are best fitted
for its custody.
1t is Just as wicked to intrust some
men with large amounts of money as
1t would be to put an idiot in charge OF
an express train.
