KALEIDOSCOPE.

Washington Star: Was there ever
witnessed a more remarkable series
of political kaleidoscope views than
that now being displayed for the edi-
fcation Of the American people?
First, we have an ex-President in
the act Of committing political as
sassination and suicide with strenu.
osity and enthusiasm. Then comes
the view of a President, driven by
the primal instincts Of self-defense
and retaliation, descending into the
ring to kick around cowboys hat.

We see on the other side Of the polit-
ical fence a perennial candidate, en-.

justice in the punishment in tp4 M
dividual case. And here is where the
strike is So completely lacking in ele'
ments to appeal to public sympathies.
It is not as though there were any
question about the facts. The league
president in this case CHANGED to see
the affair personally and required no
testimony to prove that player had
deliberately violated one Of the fund
amental rules of the sport by leaving
the playing field during game to
chastise physically one Of the specta'
tors who had criticised him. In the
circumstances It would seem that the
league management could take no
other course than that which it has
pursued, unless it is inclined to sur
render the affairs Of the organization
absolutely to the players. There may
be some degree of sympathy for the
players in the abstract on the ground
that they are under the dominion OF
q rigid system of contract making
and virtually without recourse to the
courts, but when the case Is exam.
ined on it's merits it is impossible to
approve the wholesale insubordina'
ton of the offending players associ.
ates.

Elsewhere in this issue, is notice OF
a dancing party which the ladies Of
the Civic Improvement League are
planning for next Tuesday night al
the armory. The proceeds of this
party are for the good Of Bismarck
and every one living here. The lad
les will be around with tickets-the
price of which will be the small sum
of 81, which will include refresh
ments-and every one interested in
the betterment of Bismarck, should
surely be only too glad to donate a
dollar, whether they can attend the
party or not. Some one can use your
ticket, even II you cannot.

70 SAVE THE BISON,

The American Bison Society, which
has its headquarters at the Geological
Gardens in New York City, has ocered
to stock the proposed Wind Cave Ma
tional Bison Range in South Dakota
with a nucleus herd as soon as the
range Is established by Congress. It
is believed that the bill now before
that body for the creation Of that
range will pass. That society, which
recently gave some of these animals
to national ranges in Montana and
Oklahoma, is doing good WORK in
the endeavor to prevent this largest
Of the game animals of the United
States from extinction.
To anybody who saw the region
west of the Missouri forty years ago,
or even thirty-five years ago, the
thought of the extinction of the but.
falo within the lifetime of anybody
then extant would have been deemed
absurd. During the COS and 7o's of
the recent century that animal was
almost as numerous on the plains OF
Western Kansas, Colorado. Nebraska.
North Dakota and Montana as it was
when Lewis and Clark passed through
that region. For several years after
the meeting of the rails" near Ogden.
Utah, in 1869, the first Of the trans
continental roads often had its trains
delayed for hours at time by vast
droves of buffalo crossing the track.
Today only 1900 buffaloes are left
in the United States of the millions
which roamed the plans of the trans
Mississippi forty years ago. All Of
these except about dozen which run
wild in Wyoming. are in captivity.
Canada has probably as many as the
United States, but she has more out.
side of the ranges and private COL
lections. In the northwestern part of
the Province of Mackenzie large
herd. estimated to number about $50,
are in wild state. AS the buffalo,
however, increases with considerable
rapidity under favorable conditions,
there is still hope that the 1900
now in the country may preserve the
race from complete humiliation. If
Congress ava'ls itself of the offers
which the American Bison Society
and few public.spirited individuals
not associated with that organization
make, this member Of the F. F. A.
may continue, in small way, to re-
mind observers Of the days when he
roamed in great multitudes over the
continent from the Rio Grande to the
Yukon, and from the Ohio to the Co.
lumbia.

A STRIKE FOR "PRINcIPLE."

A STRIKE FOR "PRINcIPLE." +,
Those Detroit base ball players who
have gone on a strike for principle
are displaying a species of fanaticism
that is by no means uncommon. There
are many men who sacrifice their real
inteyests for the sake of some theory
o&fexistence and some abstraction OF
rid hit. Tremendous economic waste is
cahsed by those fights for principle
on wrong issues. The history OF in
dustrial relations is full of instances
of entirely unjustifiable conflicts that
have not advanced causes in the
slightest degree, but have cost i'm
nense sums OF money and imposed
heavy losses upon innocent people.
The principle for which the Detroit
players have struck is that a man
should be given a hearing before he
IL punished. On the face of it this
y Is. sound doctrine, but, unfortunately
for the strikers in this instance, 1t Is
contrary to rule that has prevailed
for years in organized base ball. Dur
ing recent seasons at least 1t has been
the practice for the league executives
to act upon the statements and re-
ports Of umpires and to mete out sus'
pension without giving the accused
any opportunity whatever to be heard.
In a few cases Of unusually grave mis-.
conduct on the part of player the
right of appeal has been granted and
the matter investigated, perhaps with
the result of an exoneration or a
shortening of the term Of suspension.
Any other system would work to the
disadvantage of the game. The play.
ers are daily performers in their line
of business, and it would be seriously
disruptive of discipline on the playing
field to allow a man who is under
serious charges Of misconduct to con.
tinue in evidence before the public
pending an inquiry into an alleged Of
tense.
There have been numerous instanc.
'es in the past justifying principle
strike" quite as fully as the present,
but the players have not seen fit to
protest against rule which has be.
come one of the fixed methods Of
league management. Thus this
wholesale breach of discipline on the
part OF the Detroit players utterly
lacks justification on the ground that
there is novelty in the condition upon
which protest is entered. No pretense
is made that this IS the elimination
of a long series of injustices, or, in
fact, that there is any particular in

Old World Armor0rS,
