WRITING from Washington press correspondent says that Cal. most unanimous opinion prevails among Washington bankers, busi. ness men, clergymen, as we'll as re- presentative Washingtonians, that it would be advisable to abolish the present form of government in the District of Columbia, and sub- stitute single commissioner or governor, on whom should center all responsibility and administra. tive authority" That was just what was done under the first ad. mlnistration of President Grant, and the man who served as gover- nor, doing magnificent work, Alex ander Shepherd, was driven into exile by the carping critics who bounded him night and day; and the office was abolished.

organized in it's fabric" Their own experiences had taught them that in the development of human institutions the time might come when their descendants would need to appeal to revolution in order to protect their rights. So they were chary about framing enactments calculated to deal with revolutions ists, or those aiming to start revo- lutions. It Is this condition that makes the situation so difficult when there is really anthing doing. Yet, withal the two governments are in hearty accord, and there is no possibility of any revolutionary germs scattered in the United States alightiag on Mexican soil and there springing into life.

Base Ball Notes

The Soldier Boys" grabbed both games. On the fourth they beat the Nationals in a ten innings game to the tune of F to 15, and on the fifth they beat the Reds 10 to 6. Joffroy and Aldrich did the tossing for the Nationals, while Gillem and Butler did the heavy work for the soldiers.
 Aldrich struck out eight men in the last five innings. Joffroy was not so fortunate in the first five.
 "Kid" Busch made a "grand stand" catch in the seventh in- ming. He ran into the fence and caught high foul. The "Kid" is there when it comes to playing bail.
 Hannah pitched fine game for the Reds on the fifth; he struck out bunch of soldiers.
 Slugging won both games for the Soldier Boys"
 There were about 1900 people at the game on the fourth. The crowd was not so large the fifth.
 Butler, the first man up in the first inning, put the ball over the center field fence.
 Gillem got five hits out of five times up.
 The first ball hit took all of the confidence out of Joffroy. A home run the first thing is enough to stagger any pitcher.
 The Nationals struck batting streak about the eighth inning. They made seven runs after two men were down.
 Tomorrow the Nationals and Reds will mix it again.
 On the fourth Harry Tomlin and Doctor Gustetter umpired, and on the fifth Doctor Gustetter and Doc tor Kingsley did the work.
 The Reds have signed new pitcher and he will pitch for them in tomorrow's game.

NO REVOLUTION.

During two weeks past the tele- graphic columns of the daily news. papers have teemed with accounts of movements of revoluntary nature in northern Mexico, with fighting at several points along the line and long drawn disserta- tions upon the spirit of unrest said to be peryading all classes in Mexico.
 That there have been a few dis orders of some sort seems apparent, but that there has been any real revolutionary movement is not at all probable. Most of the difficult ty proceeds from the overwrought imagination of special correspond ents scattered all along the line from San Diego to Matamoras. The special correspondent is re. suit of Twentieth Century news paper methods, with every news paper of consequence boasting its leased wires and an army of specials. Every town has it's special correspondents, and as a matter of course the longer their strings at the end of the month the larger the checks they receive. And the more sensational the news the longer will be the string which the telegraph editors of the daily newspapers will accept. With such a condition there is present always in the minds of the special correspondents disposition to ex- pand the information they trans init and embelish their tales. So. then, anything that can be dis torted into revolution is a god send. It means columns. of space and three to five dollars per column in every newspaper the particular correspondent may represent.

boys shoot up a small town or hacienda, the hair trigger imagina. tion of the special correspondent
 has no difficulty in depicting pitched battle with heavy losses on either side; while the movements of lot of horsemen which occur always on San Juan's day, may be readily distorted into mysterious military movements of remarka ble import.
 And there is the basis of the whole matter. San Juan's day. It Is always a festal occasion in Mex ico. Upon that day every man who can command horse and saddle mounts and sets forth to visit and enjoy himself. The dis charge of his firearms is a source of keen delight always. And when a holf dozen of these horsemen meet, the firing of salutes in honor of one another is one of their chief diver sions. Absorption of large amount of frewater is another diversion. The more 6rewater, the more firearms. And from a half dozen to a half score will ride around the country, drinking fire water and firing salutes. And the brilliant imagination of the special correspondent has done the rest. It was the day following San Juan's day that the lurid accounts of revolutionary happenings along the border blossomed forth so exuberantly in all the newspapers in the land.
 Nevertheless, the promptitude with which the American govern ment posted troops along the line to prevent any filibustering opera tions against Mexico, is worthy of commendation. It is very deli cate task to do the right thing under such circumstances. To de- tain those travelling who have no intention or desire to make trouble across the border might result very seriously, or, at the least, very dis agreeably. Yet to fail to detain those travelling on mischief bent might lead to breach of neutrali- ty. Another difficulty is the lack of laws on both sides of the line to meet such conditions as may be natural under revolutionary con- dition. Both governments have their foundations in revolution, and the chief executive of Mexico, was himself once revolutionist, with a price set upon his head and enemies after that price lying in wait at every turn in the road. When making laws such men are prone to overlook the need of any really effective enactments toward nipping in the bud revolutionary movements. As said by Samuel J. Tilden at the beginning of the civil war, of the revolutionary f A 1 L. I Al f 4 T
