THE MILWAUKEE ELECTION.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: The election OF the SOcialistic ticket
in Milwaukee points i moral that Will be
we'll to study The vote which swamped
both the Republican and Democratic tickets
vas. in my judgment, protest against the
two dominant political parties, and it may
be a forerunner of a similar protest through
out the entire country.
The present high prices OF bare necesst-
ties OF life are beyond all reason, and can
be attributed to only one cause.-The undue
protection enforced under our tariff laws
The mills manufacturing the cloth we are
compelled 10 put on our backs are enjoying
d protective tariff uncOnscionable In itself
and enriching in a short period the manu-
facturers at the expense of those who are
forced to pay an unreasonable rate for in
ferior material. The Republican platform
OF the State OF Indiana shows that the
duties are away IN excess Of what they
should be to protect us against Overtmpor-
tations from foreign lands.
The majority Of the German people Of
this country have affiliated ever since its
birth with the Republican party. The ma
iority OF the citizens Of Milwaukee are
Germans or OF German extraction. They
arc somewhat inclined to socialism in their
belief. and it would require very little TO
force them into extremes In their political
activities Bella TOKAJL,

THE AGE OF BASEBALL
"Reminiscences of an Eighty-three-Year-
Old Player.
iitor OF The Tribune.

To the Editor OF Tho Tribune
Sir: I find this morning in The Tribune
AN article on the "Origin OF Baseball
quoted from another periodical In this
article Il Is said that baseball probably
grew out Of the English game Of round
ers."
I am In my eIghty-third year. and
know that seventy years ago, as boy al
school In a country school district In Erie
County Penn. 1 played baseball with my
schooImatez; and know 1t was a common
game long before my time. 1t had JUST
the same form as the baseball OF To-Day
and the rules Of the game were nearly tne
same as they are now.
One bad feature Of the old game. am
glad to say. is not now permitted Inc
catchers. both the one behind the batter
and those on the field could throw the
ball and hit the runner between the bases
with all the swiftness he could put into u
burn him II was called. That cruel
part Of the game has been abolished; the
bali is now thrown to the base before the
runner reaches II, IL possible. and this puts
him out
never heard OF the game called round
ers." "One old cat or two old cat was
played then as now: but IL was in nothing
ike the baseball Of my boyhood days
Real baseball. with some slight variation
OF the rules, as il has come down TO the
present day must be at least hundred
years old: It may be a thousand Perhaps
ii has come down to us from tbs times OF
the Greeks and Romans. as many games
and other good things have done.

ABoLTsHIYG PENAL JIMITATI0NS.

Il J
The proposal which has been made at
Albany to abolish the statute OF lmlta-
items so far as il applies TO offences oy
public officials against the government
Of the state or any of its municipalities
may seem revolutionary to those who
have come TO regard such immunity
from prosecution as a natural right or
man. but to those who rightly esteem
the criminal law as made not for the
protection of the criminal but for the
encouragement and prevention OF crime
and for the protection Of the law-abld-
ing public it will seem worthy of careful
consideration and 10 possess some
strong claims to favor.
Whatever may be said in favor OF
limitation as to offences committed
against private individuals, we must
regard as in another category offences
committed by public officials against the
municipality or the state, such as the
proposed legislation refers TO. That is
because such offences often by the very
nature OF them or the very identity Of
those who commit them are not sus-
ceptible Of prompt detection and pun
iShment The dishonest official general
" is 4 member Of a political ring which
for the time controls the government
against which the offences are commit
ted, and he may thus be able TO secure
himself against exposure and pr0secu-
ton until the statute Of limitations
comes into effect in his behalf. All that
is necessary is for the criminal and his
ccparceners to keep themselves in power
and in control of official records and of
the machinery of investigation and
prosecution for a certain number Of
years after the commission Of the crime,
when immunity will be automatically
secured.
We cannot think that such a system is
necessary for the protection Of INSIDE
meanants in those legal and equitable
rights which even they possess, and we
are quite sure that in some cases It
operates to the injury of the public and
10 the actual encouraG cement as well as
the shielding of deliberate wrongdOing.
The proposed step for the radical reform
Of the system is not to be taken rashly
or without due circumspection. But we
should say that it is for the opponents
Of il to show cause why IL should not
be taken rather than for its advocates
10 dwell upon the reasons for taking IT,
for the latter seem quite obvious. If
there is any sound reason why a dis
honest official should escape punishment
simply because through his dishonest
practices he succeeds in keeping his
friends in power for a certain number
Of years, it would be interesting to learn
q It. We should think that if rather az
gravated his offence.
