SCHEDULE WEEK
rhree-Eye League Meeting at
Chicago Thursday One
of Great Interest.
FOUR UP FOR CONSIDERATION
Attempt to Lengthen Season Unwar-
ranted and Method Suggested
Is ImpracticabIe.

This is the week of the meeting OF
the Three-Eye league at which the
schedule for the coming season is up
for adoption. The meeting will be held
Thursday at the Auditorium Annex, at
Chicago. Four sample schedules have
been submitted by President Holland
TO the various clubs for advance ex-
animation, and two of them. as has
been previously noted, are impractic-
abe on account of failing TO provide
the same number of games between all
the teams. The object sought is TO
lenghten the season, though no such
change was suggested at the meeting
last fall at Dubuque, and consequently
the league is not committed to it: Dis
cussing these four schedules, the
Bloomington correspondent for Chi
cago paper has the following to say:
Two Are Longer.

Dramatized "Prince of India"

Dramatized "Prince of India" - In
Gen. Wallace's book, 1.-THE Prince of
India, he is evidently the symbol OF
the universal desire of man for resi-
ing place of the soul in a simple, pure
belief, and hence a protest against the
crimes committed in the course of re-
ligious conflict His handling of the
mystic and the human in this strange
Legendary being = the soul-desire for
the all-good and the human bent for
the fallible and vain, is mastery. The
wandering Jew gives the title to the
book, for he ii is who appears before
the emperor, in the days of impending
doom, as the marvelously rich and mar
velously gifted Prince of India His
influence on the events related is a
commanding one, but the charm of the
story lies in the romantic love which is
at the very heart of it. Like a little
sunbeam, amid all the stress of pas
sion, comes the winsome personality of
the Jewish maiden, Lael, whom the
prince of India has taken to his heart
as his adopted daughter in memory of
the little Lael, his real child. whom he

goes. The new member waits his turn, trying mean

At last it is his turn, and he is grasped by the
hand in such vi gorous way that it makes up for
his weary wait. The member is smiling know
ingly; but is finally obliged to give his name, and
even to say that he is member of Congress-" the
member from Kansas" 1t is torture to think
that he is not known; but the effusveness of the
Presidents greeting, when his identity is made
clear, makes up for everything The President not
only knows all about him, but about the prominent
people in his district the industries of his State
and some of its chief characteristics. Emboldened
by the frank manner in which the President talks
the new member decides to make his suggestion

promptly met with the assertion: 81 know all about

he will ever have that sense of equality. He has

For the next week or two the member is in
dream. But what seems strange is the fact that no
one sends for him. one seems to care about his
views, and the newspaper men who eagerly inter-
viewed him when he first arrived scarcely remember
him when they meet in the corridors.
Finally the committees announced. In this
connection it is we'll understand that of the three
hundred and eighty-six members of the House,
there are only good committee places for about one
hundred, and that there second rate places for
about hundred more leaving about half the
membership to inferior places, and to large pro-
portion of these must fall assignments of committees

out of the room by other visitors; but, slight

LAWS AND OUTLAWS.

There are no tickets on sale under
the Churchman act in Virginia, and
there will not be. The laws of the
State are disobeyed. and the law maxi
ing power defied. This is plain Ian
guage we are using, but it is the only
language which fits the case. No lam
guage can fully meet the occasion. we
only describe it as best we Can. Was
there ever before any set of men in
Virginia who openly, boldly and ma
IiciOusly trampled Oh The laws of the
State after this fashion 7? But what
more can be expected when On the
statute books of the United States for
years there has stood Il law against
rebates, and against restraint of trade,
and yet the law was openly, notorious
ly and constantly violated and defied.
If the nation has been powerless, what
shall we say of the State? If these
creatures of the law are above the law,
what may they expect DO they for
one moment suppose that the matter
will end here We think not. If they
do, those gentlemen from beyond the
State who have come into it and seized
upon these important franchises, mis-
take the temper of the people of Vir-
glnia. In the language of the late
William H. Vanderbilt they have said
1.-THE people be damned.' The insult
will not go UNPUBLISHED. DO these rail-
ways not know that they are sowing
the wind. and will reap the wbirlwind?
Do they not know chat the people of
Virginia will teach them sooner or
later the salutary lesson of obedience 2
They had better learn it, and learn it
quick.
They stand to be indicted now. Mr..
Churchman went to both depots in
Staunton last week and asked for mile.
age books under the law. There were
none. Many other people supposing
that until the law was nullified by the
courts the roads would obey it, and
thus come before the courts with clean
hands. applied also for mileage books.
But the answer of the agents was that
none had been furnished.
If the grand juries do their duty there
will be trouble. If persons who are
put off the trains because they refuse
to pay more than cents per mile sue
there will be damages. The law may
be declared void, but it is not void as
it stands. it is only vOldaDle, and should
persons be elected from trains because
they refuse to pay more than 2 cents
per mile the backs of the railways are
liable to crack like new saddle under
the indictments found and damages
awarded. But should this law be de
clared void by the courts, then Gov.
Swanson should call an extra session
of the Legislature to pass law which
will stand the test. 1t is question
of thousands of dollars taken out of
the pockets of the people, many times
more than the cost of an extra session.
There are many things that can be
done, and they will be done as soon as
the action of the railways in the State
becomes generally known.

PECULIAR SALVE.

The appointment of ex Gov. WHITE
to the Senate to fill the unexpired term
of Mr.. German, is probably defensible
from Gov. Wartield 3 standpoint, and
also from the standpoint of those who
have been aggrieved by the defeat of
Gov. Whyte by Mr.. German in the
past. 1t is safe to say that Mr.. Whyte
could not have warmed chair in the
Senate from Maryland so long as Mr..
German lived, but as Mr.. German had
followers who shared his antipathy to
Mr. Whyte and his followers. it Is hard
to see how the breach has been healed
in that State by Mr.. Whyte s appoint
ment. The German faction was the
stronger, else Mr.. German would not
have succeeded. Then just how or
why the stronger faction can be re-
joiced over the ultimate triumph of
their bitterest opponent, even though
the hand of Providence was apparent
In the conflict, does not show on the
surface. The appointment looks to US
to be one of the "Safe and Sane" kind,
the kind which gave US Alton B. Park
er,the kind which would give us Grover
Cleveland, the kind which would give
Maryland Bernard Carter for Senator,
the politics which abounds in that wis
dom which makes the Democratic
voter wonder how great an ass he is
after every election, and wonder also
if the fool killer will ever get around.
