there was no great chance of a serious
setback In wheat prices, while the north

plentiful rain from time to time to mature

THE UPRoAR IN PARLIAMENT.

The British house Of commons has been the
one popular Legislative body in the world which
has been held up as an exemplar of nignifed
procedure and parliamentary courtesy, but the
disgraceful proceedings Of last Monday showed
that its civilization was only veneer.
Presumably the riotous members of the house
OF commons are now ashamed of themselves and
the mere parliamentary incidepnt might pass with
out notice were it not for the evidence which it
gave of the extreme bitterness which exists be-
tween the radical and conservative elements in
The kingdom.
The astounding thing is that those responsible
for the disgrace We're not of the radical or lib
cra majority, but were Of the conservative
minority, which stands for the retention in the
main, of the distinctive features of the British
.oIitical organization
The disturbance was manifestation of the
bitter hatred with which the conservatives re-
gard the victorious liberals who are determined
TO eliminate fro mthe British constitution the last
vestige Of hereditary legislative authority. and
who positively refuse even to discuss any
promise which will retain any part Of it.

A BALL-PLAYER'S VALUE.

A good ball player is now worth almost as
much a thoroughbred race horse The pur-
chase of Marty OToole st Pauls star pitcher
by Pttsburg for S22.500 has established a pre-
cedent that will probably keep bids high for
some time
IIenceforth need not be surprisedto hear
that ball-player brings as much as a two
minute trotter twice the price of prize
Jersey bull He has a livestock value based pr
marlly on performances and thereafter regulated
by the demand for his services
This suggests a opportunity for profit
for thrifty parents who desire that their sons
command thousands of dollars while still in
youth. Many of them will perhaps conclude that
an education for professional life calls for an
ineNcuSable waste of time and that the neeessar-
lily slow start of business career is not to be
thought of. They will send the boys to the base
ball games in the hope that they will be in
spired to emulate the work Of the men OH the
diamond. They will devote themselves to the
systematic training Of the lads in the hope of
developing specimen that will be marketable ia
fancy figures
Even the prices offered for Kelly the St
Paul catcher and battery mate of O'Toole would
not be scorned by the average owner of prom
ismg player. That was $4,000 but it was con
sidered too low and 1880 was fixed as a
minimum
LII baseball remains as highly ocmmerciaized
as 1t is today, deal such as that consummated
between Dreyfus of st Louis and Lennon of St.
Paul will not be exceptional. OF course the
purchase price is now paid by one club to an
other, but the player benefits by receiving
prncely salary, and if the demand holds up he
may be able to obtain even larger interest i'm
the salable value of himself
