History of the Trouble.
Some weeks ago the national board
fined the Memphis club 500 and sus-
pended Manager Frank for ten days
for playing st. Vrain, who was award
ed to the Tacoma club, and on the
failure of Manager Frank to obey the
order made the suspension of Manager
Frank indefinite. He has continued
to disregard the ruling of the national
board.
AS yet no meeting of the Southern
League has been called.
The hearing on the amended bill will
occur before Chancellor Mcconnell to-
morrow The injunction was granted
last week, with permission to the
league to file an amended answer,
which has been done on a plea as to
jurisdiction.
The Memphis club filed an amended
bill to-day, praying for an injunction
restraining President Nicklin from in
terfering with the playing of Babb
and Evans in the Memphis team.
Chancellor Mcconnell granted tempo
rary injunction as prayed for.

The President on Trusts.

Evidently the President is not afraid of
the trust question. He is talking about 1t
In a very open manner, and in the heart Of
the manufacturing section of the country.
The New England people are distinctly
business people. and whatever relates 10
business Opport qnities, business progress
and business abuses is of immediate con-
Germ to them. 1t Is not surprising there
fore 10 learn that the President is address
ing large audiences, and that his remarks
are attracting a great deal of attention.
He could have chosen no subject SO well
calculated al this time to bring the people
out In large numbers. Prosperity abounds
in New England. The fear of Imperialism
is confined TO a mere cOrporars guard of
dCctrinaires. The policy of sound money is
safe. But curiosity everywhere exists as
to the extraordinary spread and growth of
business combinations, and what the effect
on individual effort may ultimately be
where monopoly is established by them.
The President frankly announces that he
has no cure-all. He as frankly doubts II
anybody has. He estimates the problem as
one of great difficulty. But as it must be
solved 1t should be tackled resolutely; and
in accordance with that conviction he makes
some suggestions. He is invoking the anti
more stringent Is necessary. The states
may hardly be expected to supply the want,
and the national government is the hope
Congress. he thinks. should try again, and
in spirit guaranteeing broad results. Moth
ing will be gained. however. If mere parti-
san clamor and ends rule the day. A mere
bid for votes at the polls Will accomplish
nothing in the way of remedial legislation.
The Presidents political opponents have
their reply ready. but 1t doesn't cover the
case. 1t IS idle to say that the protective
tariff is the mother of trusts. aud that not
Until that has been repealed can the evil be
reached. 1t is the very essence of stump
buncombe to say that the trusts control the
republican party. Their influence is prob
ably as great with one party as it is with
the other. They contribute to the campaign
funds OF both parties. There are as many
democrats as republicans among their
shareholders and directors The democratic
leaders in Congress confess to the made
quacy OF the present antitrust law by their
proposition 10 strengthen it.
What then shall be done? The President
Is evidently in earnest. VIII he be sup

Slower Time on the Great Ferry.

The owners of the transatlantic steam
snip lines, it is now reported intend to re-
duce expenses by lengthening the time of
the average trips 1t is a weIl-known fact
that the cost of transportation increases at
high ratio with the increase In the speed,
owing TO the enormously greater consump-
tion OF coal. There is a mean of greatest
economy between the prolonged voyage and
the record-breaker and this will be sought
and maintained for a time in an effort to
Keep the cost down to more reasonable
basis This means that there will be less
striving after new records on the part of
the giant vessels, constructed specially for
speed, and more attention will presuma bly,
be paid to the development of other fea-
lures. such as the accommodations for pas-
sengers and the freight carrying capacity
of the vessels
Almost coincidentally with this decision
TO slow down is revival by Englishmen
OF the project advocated for many years by
the late Austin Corbin of establishing the
English steamship terminal at Milford
Haven, Wales. the first great harbor to be
reached from the west. Corbin's plan in
cluded the establishment of a similar port
of entry at Montauk Point, the extreme
eastern end of Long Island. and that plan
has been under discussion for several
months, ever since the Pennsylvania Rail-
road bought the Long Island system of
railways After that purchase the matter
was dropped for time. after denials were
entered by the new owners of the Long
Island roads, but upon the projection of

York 1t was revived as possible result of
the provisions Of a through-rail route be-
tween New Jersey and Long Island. Among
the reasons urged for the rejection Of the
tunnel franchise by the New York board
of aldermen was the charge that the new
terminal scheme might lead to a transfer
of the great ocean freight traffic from the
metropolis to Montauk Point Further de-
mails by the railroad company have not al
together quieted the idea that this scheme
may some day be carried to a practical
conclusion.
These two propositions, the slowing Of
the steamers and the establishment Of the
Milford Haven-Montauk Point route, may
be found later to have a distinct relation
ship. The demand for speedy travel across
the ocean is certain to continue strong, and
there will doubtless be many protests
against the checking of the speed Of the
greyhounds. The adoption of the shorter
route would in a measure compensate for
the slower speeds, and thus premium may
now be placed upon the adoption Of Cor
bins long-slumbering project. This hust-
ling world hates all signs Of retrogressfon,
and the proclamatio of a slower timetable
on the Atlantic ferry will not please the
hundreds of thousands who measure their
success in life by the rapidity with which
they whfri through 1t.

which is the better armed and equipped

which is the better armed and equipped
and provisioned.
1t is in this item of the care Of the force
that the American army is today superior.
There is closer community Of interests
between the officers and the men. They
come from approximately similar grades OF
society, closer together at least than the
rank and file of the British army. The
American officer better understands his
men, knows better how to make them
comfortable and "fit'' He does not
patronize them even while he may be
strict disciplinarian. The fact that one of
the privates under his command may some
day wear the straps alongside of him is
factor for better, closer harmony and for
greater effectiveness.
These considerations are all apart from
matters of war equipment Of rifles, cali
bers, ammunition. The modern army Is a
machine, the governing factors of which
are the intelligence and forethought and
capacity of its human units, and 1t is graft
flying to see that Lord Wolseley, versed as
he is in all that pertains to the making OF
armies and the maintenance OF their effect

organization the elements which make 1t

Tammany Turns to the South.

Richard Croker and his friends are still
fighting David b. Hill. Having been ousted
from party control at home by Mr.. Hill
whose aim is 10 secure for New York the
next democratic nomination for the presi-
dency, the Croker game now is to boom a
southern man for the nomination. This is
the way that State Senator Tom Grady
almost as unsavory a Tammanyite as Dew
cry himself-puts it:
Settlement of the race question in the
south by constitutional amendments has
made that part of the country debatable
ground politically, and it will be such in
the next presidential campaign. For that
reason Tammany Hall wants a southerner
nominated by the democratic national con-
vention for President and will support a
good southern man"
The idea that the south is now debatable
ground politically will strike most people
with amusement. The man the Croker
Grady-Devery crowd will play against Mr..
Hill is Mr. German. And surely the re-
pubiicans should not object. For what the
Clevelandites on the one hand, and the
Bryanites on the other. would do to the
man who has trimmed between the two
factions would, using the vernacular, be a
plenty.
