Many fans from this city went to
Davenport yesterday and saw a slug
ging match in which the visiting ag-
gregation had altogether the best of
it. Stauffer was taken out of the box
after home run had been made with
two men on base and Hughes went
in. This mattered nothing to Bloom
ington, and i'm a short time Manager
Connors' players were lining them
out again. Davenport hit frequently,
but when the hits would have done
the most good they could not connect
with the ball. There was an immense
crowd out, for the word had passed
that Davenport was going to do
things to Bloomington. Score:

A Church Fight

A long and acrimonious contest
has been carried on between two
factions OF the First Reformed
church at Easton, one supporting
and the other opposing the pastor,
Rev Henry M. Kieffer, d. D. Some
time since East Pennsylvania Chassis
declared the pulpit vacant after
Sept. 1 and provided for a supply.
DR.. Kieffer applied to the courts for
an injunction restraining Classis
from interfering with his pastorate,
and temporary injunction was
granted. On a hearing last week
the court, Judge Scott, declined to
continue the injunction holding that
as the matter was now in the hands
Of Classis that body must act until
the higher church iudicatory had
heard and determined the question.
The friends of DR. Kieffer claim
they are in the majority aud should
have control and intimate that no
matter what the decision Of synod
may be they will continue the strife
and at the next congregational
meeting elect a consistry favorable
to the deposed pastor

A Bad Lot in Jail

Late developments in the Eastern
Penitentary at Philadelphia show
that there is within the confines of
this gloomy pile an unconscionably
bad lot, in fact just as bad as if they
were free. For some years charge
has followed charge with respect to
the management. Liquor could be
obtained in prison, cruelty has been
charged, officials have been accused
of profiting in the purchase of sup
plies, and now it is shown that
counterfeiting has been going on
within the cells. OF course this
could hardly be done without the
connivance of some in authority
and the prison inspectors are making
an investigation to fix the respon-
sibility. There must be something
wrong in the management of this
institution when such irregularities
can exist within it. 1t is a poor
place to send men, either to punish
or reform them, when the system
encourages and abets, if it does not
foster a continuation and develop
ment of the worst crimes.

The opposition recently expressed
by certain dignataries of the Catho-
lie Church to the oath required of
members of the International Typo
graphical Union has served to bring
out the fact that, according to a
reliable authority, the committee
which, acting for the president, has
just completed an investigation of
the Government Printing Office,
called President Roosevelt's atten.
ton to the incompatibility of the
printers oath and their loyalty to
the government. 1t is claimed, more
over, that it was for this reason that
the president Immediately instructed
Public Printer Palmer to require the
usual oath Of Office from every
employee Of the printing Office,
which has been done. The members
Of the union referred to are required
to swear that their duty to the union
shall not be interferred with by
"any allegiance owed to any other
organization. social, political, or
religious" It is explained by Jerome
F. Healy, secretary Of Union No. 8,
that this should be accepted in
purely Pickwiokian sense and not az
meaning what it says but it is not
unlikly that the printers will see
the untenableness Of their position
and will change theverbiage of their
oath so that it win be impossible to
oonstrue it as inimioal to the loyalty
every American owes to his country
or as interfering with the fealty a
man may desire to give his church.
There has been expressed consider
able curiosity as to the delay in
making public the results Of the
Printing ONCE Investigation, but it
may be said that the reasons for
deferring its publicity are excellent
and are calculated to make for the
best interests Of the government and
OF the Office.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

Hon. George Frisbie boar, the
venerable senator from Massaohu-
setts, has, in an address at Salem,
made an announcement which is
attracting wide attention and furn.
ishing food for deep thought Mr.
Hoar says that the time to revise
the tariff is at the session following
the election of a republican presi-
dent and the eminent statesman
furnishes many excellent reasons
for his belief. He submits that the
election of = republican president
invariably brings a feeling Of con-
fdence ana relief TO the country at
large, and for that reason business
at such a time is sure to be in a
healthy condition and least suscepti-
bic to the shock Of changes in tariff
schedules. He points out, moreover,
a fact we'll recognized by every
statesman who has given recent
history genuine study, namely that
it takes several years for the county
to judge as to how a tariff law is
going to work because it requires
time for the business interests to
adjust themselves to the new scbed-
ules For this reason there is
danger that any attempt at revision
coming at the approach of a presi.
DENTAL election may be followed by
purely temporary depression and
that may produce, in turn, a tempor-
ary change of view on the part of
the voters, a change which would
have been entirely dissipated before
a presidential election arrived had
the tariff revision been attempted
three years earlier. 1t was this
view Of the situation which certain
experienced senators presented to the
president at Oyster Bay last spring
and which converted Mr.. Roosevelt
TO the "stand pat" policy, but it is
also this view which, in the opinion
of certain we'll posted republicans,
mayand probably will lead President
Roosevelt to advocate some modih-
cations in the present schedules
during the winter of 19O4.O5.
