 That the striking players have no sym pathizers among the lovers Of Dasepaii in Birmingham was clearly shown by the attitude of the crowd yesterday toward the nlayers of the patched up Baron team. In public places and on the streets and wherever two or more persons gath- cred together last night were to be hearo inaipnant denunciations of the disioya, n,avers. while those who Loyalty stood by the club and played yesterdays game were commended In the highest terms.
 The action of the disgruntled players has all the earmarks of conspiracy That the men came to the park In a bodv In the afternoon and left in body carries out the impression that the players conspired to prevent Manager Vaughan from having full team on the field
 Approached Others.
 Niles, Matthews and several others or the Birmingham players were, It IS saio by those who should know approached by the striking players who tried to in- duce these other men to join them. To the everlasting honor of the loyal players, be 1t said, the proposals of the strikers were rejected. Matthews, Niles ana the other men who remained loyal to the club made friends of every true lover or the national game in Birmingham by go- ing in yesterday and doing their best to win the game. That their efforts resulted successfully is source of joy to every right-thinking fan in Birmingham.
 The action of the disgruntled players tends to bring out another point-that is, it tends to indicate who have been the players that have been disloyal to Birmingham during the season.
 A long telegram was sent to President Kavanaugh last night after the meeting of the local association explaining the circumstances and asking that the se- verest possible punishment be inflicted upon the players who left the team in the lurch. If it is possible to blacklist the men they will be blacklisted, but even should this extreme penalty be impossible under the baseball laws, the | men who have proved so disloyal will find very few sympathzers either among the fans of Birmingham or anywhere else i where fair play is loved.

A serious National Scandal.

From the Baltimore News.
Corporation contributions to campaign
funds is today the greatest scandal in our
national politics and the most menacing.
The question is not a party one. The Re-
publican party through its connection
with the protective tariff. undoubtedly,
first and last has received more money
from corporations than the Democratic
party. but there is no record OF the lat
ter party declining any offer for princi-
pies sake. II has taken all it could get
The bothersome thing is the remedy. Eng
land Is practically free from this abuse
of money in politics. and It's chief safe
guard seems TO be the law compelling cam
ddates TO file and publish an itemized ac-
count Of all expenditures made by them
or in their behalf President Roosevelt has
recommended TO the national Congress
such "A law for this country 1t ought to
be passed. and with II the most practical
law possible against bribery IN all the dis
Greet forms IN which it is practised now
adays. And this national legislation should
be followed by supplementary State legis-
lation. The encouraging thing in the sit
uauon is the awakened public interest and
the further fact that the corporations
themselves may naturally be looked to for
aid IN securing the passage of restrictive
legislation. Really, the demands of po-
llitical parties upon corporations in these
late days have become a species of black
mall. They dare not refuse to subscribe
for fear OF legislative oppression To be
freed Of this compusion would probably
be as great relief TO the corporations
as 20 the public.
1t took the assassination Of a President
TO arouse the American people TO realiza-
ltion Of the evils OF the spoils system.
Perhaps these insurance scandals may
serve the same purpose with regard to
the scandal OF corporation campaign con-
tributions.

made in Maryland the other day. He
spoke Of the constitutional amend
ment providing for disfranchising the
ignorant and vicious element OF the
colored race. He declared it a racial
and social question that must be set
tied by this generation at the ballot
box or it would OF necessity be set
tied by future generation in blood.
He challenged history to produce an
instance of two dissimilar races liv-
ing on terms OF equality on the same
son. and declared that the white race
must rule America. and rule it alone,
peacably II it could; forcibly if II
must. He pointed to Haiti, where and
where only the black race rules.
Now that is the attitude Of a prom
inent Delaware Democrat abroad and
Indicates the purpose Of his party in
Delaware should it secure control.
Mr. Handy intimates that It is a
question Of which race shall rule in
America: it is nothing Of the kind.
AS long as the white race continues to
outnumber the negroes II it does not
rule It will be It's own fault. 1t is
rather a question Of whether the DOM
inant race shall do justice to one Of
lesser numbers.

EDITORIAL OPINION
rhe Norway. Sweden Rupture.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Rumor. always over-busy is citing
disquieting Instances of activity in
sweden and Norway. but outgivings
that have more official character than
rumor allay the fears OF an armed
clash between the branches Of the
scandinavian family Considering the
close relationship between these ma
tions a strife would have the charac-
ter of civil war, and an analogy
might be pressed between such a dis
agreement and the devastating con-
hict between the states OF the North
and South; yet such analogy will
hardly hold.
Although Norway declares for seees-
sion, that act implies no loss to Swe-
den of territory or rights. The two
nations were leagued. but not united.
Moreover. there exists behind this
difference no great wrong, such as
the North believed to exist in slavery,
and which millions of the people were
burning to bring to an end. Each ma
tion resumes the governmental form
that pcrtained to IL before the alilance
land although the separation is de-
lplored on some grounds, no radical
reason is offered for lasting estrange-
ment or damaging rivalry. If Sweden
has secretly held plans looking to the
extension Of power to the eastward;
iif il has been believed that Finland
might be brought into closer rela-
itionship. i'm view of its popular dis
content under Russian aggression. she,
of course. gives over or delays any
plan of operation. inasmuch as she
loses the military help of Norway. II
appears to be chiefly the settlement
of military questions that delays the
peaceful understanding. for each ma
ton is anxious to avoid an increase in
its army and navy. such as would
naturally follow a severance on un-
friendly terms.
