the Boston Red Sox are showing at
the other end of the valley.
Jack Hendricks is a major league
manager. He has proved this. fact
with every club he has ever handled:
Springfield. Fort Wayne. Denver.
He knows a ball player, and he knows
how To handle ball players. He gets
results, and it is an experience TO see
him this spring handling a bunch OF
players mostly unknown TO him,
whipping a new team into shape, and
making a team that must fight for
prestige in Indianapolis against the
Feds and in the association against
stronger teams.
Hendricks team is composed Of
cunningly chosen players. He has
five men who, a ear ago, were look
ed upon as major league promises.
Evidently Hendricks spotted them at
that time, and thinks. with a year
more of experience. they are better
than when the major leagues found
them wanting in something. He has
a corking pair OF youngsters one in
the infeld, one in the outtield, and IL
looks as If he had a pretty fair ar
ray of pitching talent

The Indians have, to my way Of
thinking, the best training grounds
at the springs, sheltered between two
mountains. 1t is protected from wind
on three sides and gets the sunshine.
The catching staff is good enough
Paddy Livingston has been a corking
catcher for many years. Vann is a
good man. and Mccarthy, from Troy,
is very promising.
The pitchers are getting q chance
to show their merits. Willis and
Burk. who once were with the Cardi-
nails, and Harrington. who once
promised to be a Chicago find, are
with the team. LaRoy, the Indian;
Mertz, Schardt, Gaskill and WetZel
make a promising array.
The infield is complete. Metz. at
first, is we'll known. Crandall is az
second. This fellow will bear watch
ing by the scouts. He hits a ball
as solidly almost as his brother Otis
does. Kelleher, once with the St.
Louis Cardinals. has class enough for
the majors. Galloway is another
Cardinal recruit.
Cole. from Lincoln: Niles and
Reilly make up the outfield.

Il. The Indebtedness represented by the

the Indebtedness of the United States, and
the bonds are the bonds of the District
of Columbia

of Columbia, make acceptable to creditors
of the District the 3.65 bonds by d
guaranty of payment and assume the
to be determined equitable proportion to
be contributed by the United States
toward the expenses of the District the
United States covenanted with the hold
ers of these bonds that it would provide,
by taxation on the property within the
District, a portion of the revenues neces-
sary to pay the interest on and principal
OF these bonds and that it would pro-
vide the other portion. to be determined
by appropriation out of the revenues of
the United States
.'3 BY the organic act of June H. 1878,
the portion to be provided by taxation
on the property and privileges in the
District was declared to be 80 per centum
and the portion to be appropriated out of
the funds of the United States 30 per
centum and that has ever since remained
and now is the law.

In Force Ever Since.

'.This is a direct recognition of the
creation of the sinking fund and its purs
poses, but in fact the permanent legisla-
ton quoted from the act of 1879 is the
sinking fund law then and ever since i'll
force Appropriations have uniformly
been made since that time, on the half
and-half basis. under the heading Inter
est and Sinking Fund for interest and
sinking fund on the funded debt
Il do not conclude that because Con-
gress has for years appropriated one
half of interest and sinking fund out of
the funds of the United States that il has
thereby created a legal liability to do 50.
If the obligation to do SO did not exist
then contributions either from motives
of generosity or through mistaken con
ception of liability, would not create the
liability, but the principle is established
that when the conduct of the parties
through a period of years is in line with
a reasonable construction of their mu-
tuaI obligations such conduct will go far
ton.
Not so, if the conduct of the parties
is antagonistic to every tenable con-
struction of contract specific in its
terms, but if, as in this case, the con-
duct of the parties. not otherwise eX-
planned, is in accordance with the best
supported and most plausible construc-
ton of the contract obligations it will
tend strongly to establish that con-
struction and eliminate any other The
rule. in some respects, goes further
than stated. but, as stated, it is suf-
ticient for the purpose.

Statement by U. s. Treasurer.

But more light is thrown on the situa-
ton by a statement of the treasurer. I'M
der date of November H. 1879 in submit
ting his estimates for interest and sink
ing fund for the fiscal year ending June
30. 1881. He SAYS:
- The total amount asked for is ST.
oSS. 80. 10: the appropriation for the cur
rent fiscal year is S1,155, $50. 55; the diff
ference is SCI, $50. so. which arises from
deducting the amount estimated for the
three-sixty-five sinking funds for the
the fiscal year 1881, under the permanent
annual appropriation made therefor by
the act of March 3. 1879. co Stat, 400
and adding the amount required for the
sinking fund and interest upon the water
bonds of the District, $44,61O.
This statement shows conclusively tina
in the appropriation made by the act of
March ,, 1870, for interest and sinking
fund on the funded debt for the fiscal
wear 1850. was not only included the in
terest item set out above for the three
sixty-five bonds. but that in the item of
SlTo 269.43 for sinking fund was included
sll1S4a.SU for sinkingA fund for these
same three-sixtyive bonds. The estimates
for the fiscal year 1881 indicated that
