MIKE DoNLIN CAPTAIN.
McGrRw Insists That Giants Live Up
10 Reputation for Scrap.


Chicago, Nov. 29.-Manager McGraw. of
the New York Giants. intends that his
team shall live up TO its former reputa-
ton for scrappiness. and has awarded
the captaincy of the Giants 10 Mike Don
lin. Muggsy'' was so anxious to land
Donlin for next season that he made a
special trip TO Champaign. H., Monday,
and TO make 1t stronger. took Secretary
Fred Knowles along with him to help
persuade Mike, the biffer. to get into
line
Donlin will play right field. instead OF
center. his old position, and that means
that George Browne will be traded. or
else carried as utility outielder.
McGraw is going TO beat the Cubs out
next season or quit baseball. so he says.
Signing DOnlin is only one OF several
winter plays he expects 10 make 10 round
up team by March I capable of trim
ming all corners in the National League.
Two stars IN particular are demanded by
the New York manager.
Giving the captaincy of the Giants 10
Donlin is a pretty sure indication that
Dan McGanns days as a first-sacker for

 It is the conviction of most of the Democrats in Congress--and they un- doubtedly reflect the view of the Dem the Republicans are giving the Demo- cratic party more than fighting chance for next year But these Demo- crats are convinced that if their party has to fall back on the leadership of Bryan. or perchance of Hearst, it will be the same old story-defeat.
 As one Democratic member remarked this time like Tilden, or Hendricks. or Cleveland. how busy he would be mar shaling the forces of the party for a great fight next year on the tarf The Republicans, by deciding that the tariff shall not be revised until after theway for the Democrats to make a remarkable fight on that issue if they will only get together and do it."
 This view reflects the everyday com ment one hears from the Democrats in Congress. They see an opportunity be- fore the party, but no one in sight to lead. Privately. many of them say al convention meets the man who will be in control will probably spoil the tariff issue by putting an unwlse plank in the platform.

IT CAN'T BE DONE.

IT CAN'T BE DONE.
 To muzzle the press seems to be a favorite dream among politicians of a certain class. Whenever that spirit is traced back to its source 1t will al- ways be found that is the scheme of some man or men whose acts cam not bear the light of day and who would curtail the liberty of the press because they dread publicity and know that the newspaper will expose their evil designs and dirty prac :Ices.
 Governor Pennypacker of Pennsyl' vania tried this experiment in lis own State. Few public men of our day have laid themselves open to more severe and just criticism than he. His own party papers were unable to defend hin in many of his schemes, whiie the independent papers of the State car tooned and lampooned him as he de- served, and in a way that penetrated even his thick cuticle. It was more than he could stand and he caused a which. if it had been rigidly enforced, would have destrcyel :te usefulness of the press of his State. It bristled with penalties, but the Pennsylvania newspapers paid little attention to it. We do not now remember whether it was repealed or died of its own vsn- om, but we do know that It-raiied to accomplish what Pennypackzr desired and hoped If we are correctly informed there was never a successful prosecu- tion under 1t.
 We notice in the papers that the Leg islature of the State of WashingtGa has a bill of similar import before it. Evidently some political demagogues in that far Western State have felt the sting of just newspaper criticism and are trying to have law enacted that will relieve them and save them from the lash in future. If they succeed in getting the law passed we predict that it will be failure as it was in Penn sylvania. Pennypackerism will not suc- ceed in Washington any better than it did in it's starting place. It will not succeed anywhere In the somewhat hackneyed language of Judge story-- Here shall the Press the Peoples rights
 maintain,
 Unaw'd by influence and unbrib'd by
 gain.
 It may be that some newspapers are influenced and some bribed, but In the main the press of the United States is the strongest shield that stands be- fore the people, and the one wall be- tween them and those who would de- spoil them of their rights Some poli- ticians. who are usually demagogues of the most pronounced type, talk glib ly of Subsidized press" and other rot of the same kind, but 1t is due to the press more than anything else that the country Is saved from the clutches of such men. The galled jade may vince. the heather may rage and the hit dog may howl but the press of the country will remain free and indepen- dent as long as the people themselves desire to be free
