The future of the republic of Brazil is
somewhat cloudy. Its area is n little
larger than that of the United States,
cxclusivoef Alaska, and next te Russia
the largest continuous tract under one
government, covering nt least 3,200,000
square miles from 0 degrees north te
jW south of the equator. An enumera
tion et Its products nnd resources is sim
ply bewildering. It has, for ene item, a
million square miles of virgin liepical
forest, In ene small section of which
Agassis found 117 species of valuable
weeds and such n vicious variety of
snakes and lns(cls that their "botanical
names" nlone would fill this column.
Yet in nil the republic there nre cri
lalnly net mere than 12,000,000 peeple
(soma put Itns low ns 8,000,000), and
only one-third of them are of the Aryan
(or Caucasian) race. There were origi
nally about 100 tribes of Indians, of
which tit least n dozen remain.
One Ii surpiised te learn, after nil the
disrusslen nheut slavciy and emancipa

the colored people; but the latest attain
able, puts the full blacks at "about 2,000,

were at the Kinie time (1872) 3,787,289
whites and "aUnit 31)0,000" Indians. It

there Is reason for suspecting that this

the fact that or the 2,500,000 or mere

who held the reins, nodded te the starter, the
running mate was nearly a furlong behind.
The quarter pest was reached in Si seconds,
nnd, without a noticeable decrease in tpecd,
the journey up the bnckstiutch was begun.
When the half mile station nns reached the

Marvin felt that he was nbeut te drive un

that his charge might let down at the last

An Epidemic of Swelled Heads
in the Baseball World.
MAGNATES AND PLAYERS SUFFER.
Te th r.rlls of This Ultras Are Uu fhe
Claali llctttcen I lie Maimers mii1 the
IlrntlinrhcKM anil tlie Tmetilc of the
American Association.
The sephlitical arguments en the baseball
situation nJduced by rome writers en the
Kama have done considerable te cause the
complex nature of the baseball fihrla of to
day, and the fallacious reasoning ns te caupe
and effect, Incempetency in the matter of
financial reckoning and beinbastical nnd
adulatory accounts of work dene by players,
as well as almost sycophaiitle coacrnlulatiens
en managerial actions, have caused what Is
known as "swelled beads" te prevail lu Ihe
ranLi of the bat wieldcrs and among the
managers. And be tt understood that this
term is of the veruacular and net meant te
be construed ns applied offensively. Ill fiil
lns has been engendered nnd the players nnd
managers have been led tobelievotli.it te
enrh was due the success of tha national
gaine.
"Swelled head," be It known, U a dlense
peculiar te baseballlsts nnd their Immcdlate
followers. It is harmless in its lncipiency
and Is only dangerous lu the last ttage. It Is
then apparent bythe unnatural actions of
the patient, who nssuines unwonted nlrs ami
nntty attire. Ill mauner becomes cold nnd
his taciturnity is apparent ai he struts along
the street with n truly iatrician nlr. At
this tlmeJ.hire is nlse evident a cei tain hesi
tancy of s)ccch. lle is oracular In uttcrance
and Indulges in a superfluous uie of the per
sonal proneuu. Thee nre the mere common
symptoms.
It has been cald that the chaotic statoef
nffairs bascballlotle wns due te this disease,
and that the (IImmise itself Is due te newspaper
"pufllng" nnd adulation by pni tlsan w i iters.
But this must net be tal.cn te menu that the
pencil pushers have leen rjutlty of any w rong reng
ful acts. On the contrary, they Imve denu se
only because the public demanded It of them.
I have ulse aided In sprtudliig this dread,
disease by the same method, for the raine
reason, nnd am by no menus sure thnt nt
times I have net expci leueed a mild uttack of
the complaint. But we have the effect, and
must be shown the cause. Today we have
players arrayed against managers. We have.
theAmerlcnn association badly storm lieaten,
if net totally wrecked; we have large Invest
ments imperiled, and nil "en neceunt of this
enlargement of the cranium.
It needs no deep thinker cr philosopher te
see the truth of all this. Tin Players' brother
hood vai formed because some plaver3 hud
"swelled heads." The League denied the
right of arbitration te the Brotherhood be
caueo some magnates had "swelled heads,"
and the split in the American association was
caused by the clashing of the iuteiests of two
men whose bends w ere s cllcd nnd w he really
fought te the hitter eud in order te show the
world which had the most gigantic "head.""
Think you that tlie Brotherhood would be
formed but for the fulsome flattery showered,
by tha press en Jehn M. Ward! Think jeu
that the League would have denied the play
ers the right3 tliey asked but for the wide
spread ndvertlsing nnd "puffing" of the mas
nates! Would Chris Ven der Ahe nndCharlie
Byrae have fought te the finish nnd jeopar jeepar
dised their Invested properties but for the fact
that their rcspective admirers in the new pa
per line praised them beyond measure and
gave each cause te belleve that the life of
the Association depended en his being
at the helm? Oh, net Ward, Spaldlne;
Ven der Ahe nnd Bj nie nil descrve credit for
work dene, but they have been accorded
much mere than full measure. They sought
publicity, aud sought te please theso who
gave it te them. News and uoterlcty were
twin brethas. Notoriety beget big bead,
nnd big head produced warfare, which is still
being waged.
But "swelled head," or "big head," has an
other phase. In this last It is known ns "fang
head," nnd, strange te say, Ward, Ven der
Ahe, Spalding and Iiyrne nre nil afflicted
with it IU most marked symptoms are nn.
adoptability te circumstances en the part of
the afflicted and n facility te concoct schemes
that nre net only feasible, but probably prof
itable. Ward's "swelled bend" beget "long
hcad'nudlterlglnatid the players.' league,
with a lare monetary capital nud
vested rights. Ven dir ALe's "long "leng
head" brought him from an obscure
liquor dealer hi St. I,euis te become
one of its real estate barons, a baseball mag mag
nate, a political power and u large capitalist.
Byrne's "long head" made him a leader in
baseball councils, led him te foivike the
American association and jump into the Na
tional league; while Spalding's lengthy cra
nium contains se much geed sense that he
has l lscu from n position asn baseball pitcher
te that of n leading men limit, with a bank
account of half a million of dollars or mero.
Similarly afflicted ate Jehn II, Day, A. IL
Sedcn, Henry Vonderherst and many ether
baseball men.
But the geed that "big head" has dene dure
net offset the bad. The latter phase of the
disease Is accountable for nil the harm that
baseball has suffered. The "swelled huad''ef
Henry Lucas in lbS3 caused the cellapse of
the Cleveland club the expulsion of several
players by the League nnd severe Injury te
the game. The "big head" of Devlin and.
Cravcr lu ISTil breugbt disgrace ou the Lou Leu
Uv llie club, nnd shame en four men pre
viously believed te be honest, nud "sncllett
head" today threatens te bi ing about n series
of catastrophic that will disrupt the exist
ing governing bodies nnd nsswt In degrading
the national game. Hence it lx hooves these
who have "long heads" te put them together
and devise w ays aud means of avoiduigthe.
skeals aud reefs that tin eaten them. This,
can easily be done if mediation be indulged
hi and n coalition et interests Ira decided,
upon. But it must be dene without any par
tisan "head sw elling." Tlie Brotherhood nnd
League niut refuse te barken te the words
of the shouter whose partisanship Is pro
claimed ns loudly as the cries of the w lianj lianj lianj
doedlo becking her young. Ward, Sjialdlug,
et nl., must make their "long beads" work
against the machinations of the "swelled
beads," nnd bring about the amalgamation,
which will be at once pleasurable aud profit
able. W. L Haiuus.
