Treaties. be it said with regard,

II Bismarck was frankeT than most
statesmen in speaking lightly of any
treaty that proved in the way of
the interests of one of the sigma
tories. It does not necessarily follow
that he was more INSCRIPTIONS than
others. In his Confederation of
Europe" Mr.. w. A. Phillips con-
fesses that in modern as we'll as in
ancient times there 70 much verbal
condemnation of Machiayelh and
much practice of his cynical precepts.
Yet a little has been accomplished
in giving authority to uaiional agree
ments. and the peace Of the world
depends entirely on dong very much
more of this. The importance of the
preservation of Belgian neutrality
goes far beyond the limits Of that
little kingdom whose spirit i'm defend
ing it's territories has been the as
constituent of the world

is evident that the independence of
every small nation must depend upon
the mercy or indulgence Of the great
nations, and that all the great ma
lions must keep their military estab-
lishments prepared for war at mo-
monts notice.
The road from Germany into
France through Belgium was pre-
( ferred. it is said. because the French
frontier was less protected there

separated Germany and France. In
other words. France trusted in tho
neutrality Of Belgium and put most

was professed Belgium evidently
did not trust implicitly to neutrality

From the Dover State Sentinel
The answer to the Democratic
question: THOMAS w Miller, Why?
Is a very plain and decided answer
He is 4 Republican.
In making that answer il is not
necessary TO abuse the Democratic
candidate The fact that he is a
Democrat. is, TO Republicans, and
those who realize the utter failure OF
Democratic administration and Con
gress, to rightly control the economic
forces of this country. that make for
general peace and prosperity, is en-
tirely sufficient.
As President Cleveland once said
1t is not theory, but a condi-
ton" that confronts rs.
The fact. that Thomas w. Miller
as member of Congress. will vote
to change the present evil condition
that Democratic incompetence has
produced, answers any, and all, ques-
lions that may be asked about his
qualifications for a membership in
Congress.
We are saying that-al that-for
the voters of this State without re-
gard to party affiliations. The pre-
sent national administration has
disappointed everybody. except those
10 whom it has given appointment tc

gress to suit the administration, II

an athletic carnival conducted by the
Young Mems Catholic Club of st.
Aloysius parish. A trophy has been
put up for the Catholic Club scoring
the most points in the meet, and each
event is bound to be keenly contested.
The entry list for the games is a large
one.
An athletic meet will take place at
the T. A. B. s., Park, Third and
Trumbull streets, Elizabeth, under the
auspices of the Young Mems Catholic
Lyceum, of ST. Patrick's Church,
Elizabeth. Joseph 7. Conroy, who
has been receiving entries, says that
the meet will be a success in every
way, as some of the best New Jersey
talent has entered.
The strength of the New York Ath-
letic Club has entered the games of
the Michelin Club, which will take
place at Midtown, near New Bruins
wick. This meet will be of metropol-
tan Importance, for it will probably be
the last chance that many of the per-
formers will have before the national
junior and senior championships at
Baltimore. One of the best events on
the program will probably be the race
between Frank Lagay, jr., of this
city, and Val Wilkie, the quarter
miller of the Yale University track
team.

A marvellous Transformation took
place yesterday when Marty O'Toole,
by the simple process of changing his
uniform from the Pittsburgh style to
the New York livery, as if by magic
became a winning pitcher. Brooklyn
was his victim. The snariing, snap
by, scrappy Giants backed the $22,
wonder with all of the fierce rivalry
and antagonism which burns in the
breasts of the McGraws when playing
the Giants but the verdict was hand
ed to O'Toole by a to 3 score.
There were kicks galore. Jake Dat-
bert was banished because he conn
planned about a bad decision which
marred a heady play by willy Gus
Getz, ex-Tiger. Gus made an error
allowing Merl5le to reach first base IN
the seventh inning. Meyers then put
up an easy one which Geia could have
caught on the NV Us saw that the
chief was loafng deliberately
trapped the bail, TIN NIX 10 Daubeft,
who completed a double play at ms
station. Umpire Quigley ruled, now
ever, that Getz had caught the bail
and only the batter was out. The in
field fly rule must have confused the
arbiter in the stress of the exciting
game, for both teams fought bitterly
for every decision. Larry Doyle's hit
ting and O'Toole's pitching We're fea-
lures. Larry had four hits. One was
good for a double. Jack Dalton had
his usual brace of bingles and III
MYERS was there with a hit when sent
up as pinch batter. Getz singled, stole
and scored on a hit by Lew mccarthy,
showing some of the old Tiger team
| work.
AT one time Brooklyn threatened to
protest the game on a dispute which
arose over whether O'Toole had made
a balk at a critical moment. Robin
son and Egan were chased before the
curtain descended on the performs
ance.
Boston fought terrific duel with
| philadelphia and the fans of Boston
were sweating blood as the game went
| into extra innings and the results
came trickling in with painful slow
! ness. The Braves got away to
| flying start with four runs in the firss
| inning, but James had a bad session
| in the third and another in the fifth-
and Philly tied it up. 1t stood four
runs all until the eleventh. Boston
got run there, but Philip tied it
again. lineup relieved Mayer, who
got off to a bad start, and he dut
well until the eleventh. Alexander,
pitching the twelfth, was charged
with the defeat. A sensational catch
by Moran saved the game in the tenth
| He made a wonderful cate of hard
drive from Cravath's bat which would
have been a homer.
The standing of the National League
may bring about some complications
today. The Brooklyns and the New
York teams are playing a doubles
| header while Boston meets Philadel-
phia only once. Should the Giants
lose two and the Bostons win the
Braves will again hold the Lead
Should the Giants drop both games
and the Braves lose, the two leaders
will be tied. If the Giants break even
and the Bostons win the teams will
also be tied. The detailed standing
