Louisville 6 Washington 0 Iialtlmore 4 Columbus 3 Efforts are being made to have the Pitts-burg-Brooklyn postponed game of last Fri day played "here next Friday. The matter Trill be "definitely settled to-day. Speaking on the question last evening, Manager Han kra said: "Manager "Ward is very anxious to play another game against us here before going home. He thinks he can win the next game, and if he can arrange matters satisfactorily the game will be played. AYc can get to Brooklyn in time to start the morning game on Decoration Day. And it may be that there will be an interesting feature in the game. If Staley signs with Brooklyn he will pitch against us on Friday, and surely that will be interesting enough. I would like to see Staley go with the Brooklyn club if he goes anywhere. He is an excel lent pitcher, and will do good work for "Ward." Referring to the rumors relative to Car roll, JIanaccr Hanlon said: "Let me tell you that there is not a word of truth in the rumors. I had a conversation with John "Ward Saturday about Staley, but most cer tainly Carroll's name was not mentioned at all. Let it be plainly understood that there is no more intention of releasing Carroll than there is of our releasing Beckley and all of our pitchers, The team are doing well and what more do we want. Such rumors like that relating to Carroll do harm and we -nant them stopped." 'Doubtless the very emphatic statement of Manager Hanlon will be hailed with de light by the patrons of the club. So far as the season has advanced there has been no reason whatever for even thinking about re leasing Fred Carroll. He has done nobly and it is very strange why the reports re garding him should have been sprung. It may be that Staley and the Brooklyns will come to terms to-day. But on Satur day evening Manager "Ward stated that Harry's terms were a little too steep. Tho Bostons are among us lor the first time this season, and to say the least they are quite a team of ball players. True, they haven't been doing business lately to any extent, but "what we call luck has been dead against them. At any time thev are liable to strike their gait, and when they do their opponents will oe quite aware of the fact. Manager Sclee is not at all discouraged over the misfortunes of bis team, although he would have been in much happier mood had things gone along all right. He is aware that there is a strong team in this city, but he hopes to have his men in line to-day to give the home players as hot an -argument as they desire. Stratton and Mack will be the home battery and surely our stranger from Louisville cannot be dis appointed for the third time in succession. It is likely that either Getzein or Nichols, will pitch for the Bostons. Sunday Association Games.

SOME WISE ADVICE. President Young "Writes Tony Mullane an Important Letter Regarding the tatter's Trouble "With Umpire Poweni Ex cellent Admonitions to Ball Players Given President X. E. Young, of the Xntional League, has sent tho following letter to Tony Mullane relative td the late trouble between Mullane and Umpire Powers: , T. .T. Mcxlake, Eso. Dear Sir: I have been intending to write to you for some time, but my labors and official duties have been so extremely heavy and exacting that I have iKt been afforded tho time and opportunity. I w as very sorry, indeed, to hear of the very unfortunate affair between yourself and Mr. Pgwers, and I have come in for my share of censure from the presi for not lining you $250, as I could havo done in the exercise of to y official authority. You know that 1 did not do so, as I much preferred to express in writlng-my pleasure, and the sincere hope that as long as you remain on the diamond you w ould never again, by an unmanly act, tarnish the repntntion of the club you rep resent, or our grand national game. Every umpire trie" his best to make correct deci sions. They don't always do it, simply be cause they are human. Ballplayers some times forget that an umpire's reputation is Just as dear to him as any star player in the land, and, as a rule, of far greater im portance. Jlost, or many, of our umpires arc old players, who have seen their day, and the oread and butter for their families depend upon their success as such. I do not claim perfection for Mr. Powers, but I do claim honesty of purpose. There are too few players who will do tho manly act of acknowledging that they ere" out and that tho umpire was right. I have seen manv a player gooff to the bench and let the umpire get a "roasting" from the crowd when he well knew that the decision was right. I was a player myself for many ears and an umpire for about ten years, and", as between the two, my sj mpathies are always with the latter, lean readily placo myself in either" position. The most manly act that I ever witnessed on the ball field was In a close, hard game in Boston between the two strongest clubs in tho country. The grounds were well packed, and I was the unfortunate umpire. At a close and critical stage of the game I had to decide Jim O'ltourke out at the home plate. He mado a desperate slide, but didn't quite get there. The crowd rose as one man to "boot tho nmpire." Mr. O'Kourke picked himself up, and, w ith his natural sense of honor and manhood, he raised his hand to tho crow d and remarked in a lond voice: "You needn't halloo; I was nut." In one second every man had resumed his seat and always knew Xlck Young was a great umpire, but I would not have given much for Xick Young's head, without an ex tra police force, if O'Rourke had sulked off to the bench. I had no thought of writing a letter of such length when I conrmenced.but I feel very keenly the importance of a dif ferent course of action toward the umpire by too many players, and also the Impor tance of every player doing his share toward building up the same, preserving its honor and integrity for all time, and in continuing and increasing its popularity. This he can do by being a gentleman, both on and off the ball field. Every player is interested (both financially and for tho love of the game it self) in its permanent success, and can and should contribute his share. I am not writing this for your special ben efit, but I shall expect that I am speaking, through you, to as many plaj era as you may happen to come in contact. Tho story of "O Rourke" may bo nnvld one to somo who havo heard it before, but so long as my name Is Young, I will enjoy telling it until such manly action, on the part of many flayers "becomes too common to make it worth re peating. I conclusion I will simply express the hope that I will not again nave the slightest excuse for fining any ball player.or . bo censured for not performing w hat ap- peared to others to be my plain duty. AEEESTED BOTH HIKES. The Police Stop the Sunday Game at Cincin nati in the first Inning. Cikciitsati, May 24. Jlore than 2,000 people paid admission to the Association baseball grounds to-day. Each one on entering tho game received a ticket containing an order for a refund of his admission fee in case the game was prevented by police lnter ferencc, and an hour later each one used his ticket in obtaining the Tefund. The Athletics had made the run from Philadelphia in the unparalleled time of 18 hours. They went to bat and played tho first inning without making a run. The Cincin natis then played till two men were out. At that moment Colonel Phil Deitsch, the Superintendent of Police, commanded a captain to march a company of blue coats to the front in line of battle at carry arms. When this force halted on the verge of the field of operations, Colonel Deitsch very quietly informed tho players that they were under arrest and must go to the station house. The game stopped at once, the play ers changed their clothing and went to the station bouse in two busses tbathadbrought them to the ground. There was no show of resistance nor was any disapprobation manifested by the spec tators. There were 60 police under the com mand of three captains on the grounds and outside were three police wagons well manned and a squadron of mounted police under a captain. Everybody Jseemed enter tained by the military mancuvres of the police as they moved from point to point. The players were not humiliated by Deing taken through the city, but were allowed to drive to the nearest station. There they were released on a bond of $300 each to appear before the Police Court to-morrow. Mr. Otto E. Retz signed their bond, which aggregated $5,400. It is said that Mr. Rcnau, the President of the club, will demand a trial by jury and that in Cincinnati on ques tions involving the Sunday laws usually means a disagreement. The reason for allowing both sides to Jllay was to obtain evidence of an overt violation of the Sunday laws. Baseball Kotos. The big pec-ple Jrom Boston to-day. We must stick to second place until we stenun higher. Rain prevented the Pittsburg-Brooklyn game Saturday. The Sioux Cltvs asked for Dahlen's release and President Jim Ifart fell in a fit. Mike Sullivan is pitching fine ball for Provi dence la the Eastern Association. We cannot afford to lose to-day, no matter how hard Boston's luck mac so far have been. There are rumors in the air to the effect that the Washington Association club cannot last the season out. IT Is stated that at the special meeting of the American Association our Mr. BelUy will be black listed. PoorRellly.

Tr "r Pros pects of This Week's Itac. g a Home wood Park and Other Evenly An Eastern authority, writinjr i " out se suspension of John Turner at FhHi elph'a last week, and also the prospects i ih. Homewood meeting, has the follow in,, to say: The episode at the Philadelphia Driving Park last Wednesday, which resulted in the suspension of John E. Turner, is certainly the most peculiar one of recent date regard ing the application of the law which pro Tides for a change of drivers where there is the appearance of fraud. Standingas he does, in the front rank, and one ofthe oldest trainers still in the field, the affair naturally causes no little stir, and is the chief theme of turf gossip lust now. A unique character is this gray-haired whip, who, like Murphy, comes of Irish stock, and has worked his wav by sturdy en deavor from the obscurity .of a stable boy to fame and considerable fortune on the trot ting turf. "Turner does not profess to be a saint, but his record is more creditable.than most of his early contemporaries. Hels a veritable sphinx about his own afiairs, and confidences with him are as safe as if they had never been imparted.- The very persistence which lias won him more than the usual amount of success has S roved at times a disadvantage, for, once ecided, Turner never yields an inch. More than once he has driven out races against his own interests and with loss to himself and his friends. As recently as the meeting at Belmont Park, Philadelphia, he created havoc bv winning the 2 16 pace with Mara brino nannis, when he did not set out to get first money. Gray Harry was to do the trick, but was not as good as was expected, and matters got tangled after the second heat. Turner was annoyed when Monkey Kolla cut loose for a heat, and, heedless of all requests, sent his pony paceralong in the fourth heat to the consternation of thoso who depended on him to wait for the gray sidewhceler. Though ho begins tho campaign at tho earliest opportunity. Turner's policy is against going to the front till tte season is well auvancea. ine oia-time dread of get ting horses ont of their class-is a part of his very being, and no man approaches him in managing matters so that he can keop in the background till the timo is ripe for victory. This has become a proverb, and especially among his enemies the "General," as he fs called, has come in for severe criticism on this account. When LinkwoodMaid needed anew pilot to satisfy the public at Point Breeze on Wednesday that she was really unable to win tho 2.32 trotting class, the lot fell on the man who above all others prefers to attend to his own particular affairs. More than onco before Turner had been asked to do similar duty at the same track, but he nl way avoided it. This time it was a peremp tory order, which at first he sawnowayof evading. lie had bought a couple of tickets on the little mat o from Baltimore and wonld havo tried his Land But for the overzeal of a bystander, who fancied he made some fort of signal to Greenway, who was in tempo rary disgrace by his peculiar way of han dling the favorite. This was whispered to the ludges, and when the starter told Turner that he not only wanted him to drive, but to win if he could, the old man's blood grew hot, and he flatly refused, as he said, "to drive as a criminal." Some of bis friends tried to persuade him to comply with the command, but Turner would not have mounted the sulky if his refusal debarred him from driving for the season.

MANY CHARGES MADE ' BY HIM. . . He Says thty Hilling U as ITeanailged by 'leading; Politicians. Leading JIAIOE SHAKESPEARE HELD UP TOBLAME , New- Orleans, May 24. Before the Italian Consul, Pasquale" Corte, left for Europe he prepared a statement of his course in regard to the lynching of his countrymen in the parish prison, which he placed in the hands of a friend for use if necessary. The demand'of Mayor Shakespeare that the Con sul be not allowed to return to this city is 'sufficient justification for its use. "Where theonsul speaks of politics in the letter, .he. refers to the fact that all the leaders of 'the lynching party, as well as the members of the Committee of Fifty, and nearly all 'the grand jurymen, are members of the Young Men's Democratic Association.which, through an alliance with the Republicans, carried the last election, defeating the regu lar Democraticticket and making Shakes peare Mayor. "Consul Corte's statement is as follows: "On the night of the 15th of October last the Chief of Police in this city was assassi nated, and the Mayor desired to have in his hands, as it appeared in his appeal, proof to assert without doubt that it was the work of the Italian element. This assertion that it was the work of Italians before any trial produced great excitement and prejudice in every quarter-of the city and elsewhere.' In consequence of this, wholesale arrests of Italians were made the same night and on the following days. Several of the prison ers were maltreated and robbed of their val uables in. -and out of prison, and one was seriouslywounded bya firearm. ' ' Tho Committee of Fifty. "On the 17th of said month I applied to the Mayor, calling his attention to the above, and he replied: The rumor of the maltreatment of the susoeets is. I am satisfied. without foundation. On the contrary, I greatly fear that the consideration for their personal comfort and the wishes of their friends has been carried beyond the limit of prudence.' "This assertion was inexact, as the crand jury subsequently proved. On the 18th the Mayor, authorized by the City Council, ap pointed the Committee of Fifty, composed of prominent gentlemen of this city and several politicians belonging to his party.' The committee, under the impression that what HSs Honor said regarding the partici pation oy Italians in tne crime was true, issued in its turn a proclamation, signed by the Chairman, Mr. Edgar H. Farrar, of which I have an original, addressed to Italians and Sicilians. The most promi nent points 01 tnis proclamation were, hrst, an insult and a threat to the good part of the colony in charging that it knew the secrets of the Mafia which the police itself conld not discover; second, a return to the methods of the inquisition in inaugurating the sys 4-am At enorflr nnn onirnrmAne HaniimmnfiAn third, a programme of "what should be and was afterward accomplished, using the pre- .cise words: rWe intend to put an end to this, peaceably and lawfully if we can, violently and summarily if we must. Upon you and your willingness to give informa tion uepenus wmuu 01 muse courses we suaii .pursue. "JLhe unairmanosiced my opinion lm re gard to it, and I expressed my full dis approbation, he asEed at tne same time it, considering the'inefficiency of the police, I could obtain detectives from Italy, to which I replied that if he would make a wrTtt'en request 1 would send it to my Government. " A Grand Jury Investigation. "The Committee of Fifty called a meeting thenightofthe30thof October to take the necessary steps to attain the end prefixed. This meeting was opposed by the press, and, contrary 'to the assertions of said com mittee that 1 approved it, I, accompanied by the presidents of Italian societies and by representatives of the Italian, press, called on the Mayor to prevent it, and then, at the Pkaijune and Tunes-Democrat offices, to beg them to use their influence to that end. And if then no incident took place it was owing to the mterierence 01 Mr. lilaiue, to the opposition of the press, and to the measures taken by the criminal Sheriff" to double, as he assured me, his guards in the prison. "In pursuance of a letter which I ad- "dressed to the Grand Jury, an investi gation was made which revealed what had transpired there. The press took up the matter and approved the initiative by me taken. Set eral reforms were suggested or executed, and various indictments were found against the guilty ones seven, in fact, against one party.Skip Mealy,and had he been then tried he would have be found guilty. But that was contrary to the views of the leading politicians of the Committee of Fifty, from which body many persons re signed. In the meanwhile the explicit statement of the Mayor that the guilty ones were in the hands ot the lawWas made tin trustworthy by "his offering a reward for the discovery of the assassins. Had his honor then the courage to confess his mistake, the wrong would have been of littleimportance. Instead, it was aggravated because un worthy persons, in the hope of receiving a reward did not not hesitate to make false statements in court. I cite, among others, one Dennis Corcoran, a Market Commis sioncrwho declared that he saw Sunseri and Katah run, while the first was clearly proved to have been at the time in a thea ter, and that Natali was near Chicago on his way here. The Confession of Pollizl. "These statements failing of their pur--pose because the proof was weak, and the public beginning to see that there were mystifications in the Hennessy case, as well as in tho Provenzano case, recourse was had to a last expedient, which resulted in affect ing the entire population) This was the confession of Polizzi. But when I learned that it was provoked by Chief Gaster. who Usent Joe Provenzano to the concubine of .Polizzi to induce her lover to make a con fession, and when J learned that a. prisoner with bad precedents was pardoned for hav ing attempted to obtain a confession from him, to confirm the assertion of the Mayor, said confession lost for me all its value. AVhen I learned that Walter Denegre had offered to Matranga's son-in-law $700, which he refused, to have the naturalized Italians vote for his party; when I learned from the Attorney General in the presence of four persons that Frank Bomero was sacrificed by those whom he assisted in politics; when by Mr. Michinard, a reporter of the Times Democrat, and others I was formally assured that Peeler one of the most important witnesses, was completely drunk at the time he said he saw the shooting and recog nized the assassins, then I understood that there was a great mystification somewhere. "On the same night of the verdict violent articles appeared in the evening papers, and a committee, composed in great part of members of the Committee, of Fifty, among others G. Denegre, Farrep, Dupre, Parker, Legendre, Flower, "Wickliffe, and to whom others were added, assembled in a Commer cial Place office, at the comer of Bienville and RoyaL streets, to take the opportune measures to realize the -deplorable affair of the following day. The same night the re porters of several papers received in writing the route to be followed. The next day Messrs. Parkerson, "Wickliffe and Walter Denegre, recalling that once before they had assembled for the same object at Lafayette square, moved to the parish parison, where the affair took place. There the persons armed with rifles ofthe militia kept the crowd back while a limited number entered the prison and killed the Italians some cer tainly innocent and'others not yet tried or acquitted. " , Officials in the Killing. "Among those who participated Jn,v the Jailing besides prominent .p61iticjans,tliere were several employes of the City Hall and policemen, namely, said Dennis Corcoran, who, besides taking an active part in the killing, pointed out the different Italians to be killed. This and other circumstances of the affair were of public notoriety. Not withstanding these facts, the grand jury did not indict any one, ana wants to mate it appear that the entire population of Hew Orleans participated in the act or approved of it. This is not so, and the remonstrances which distinguished Americans made in public and privately prove what I assert. "Notwithstanding that in fulfilling my duty I fear nothing and no one, it is natural that, if His true what the grand jury af firms, two American citizens manage the temple of justice at their pleasure, corrupt ing the jury and the officers of the court, or,as I believe, a second power exists besides the constituted authorities, to which only I am accredited, I am compelled before recogniz ing the Government in effect to consult my own Government. I hope that the diffi culty existing between the two friendly na tions will be amicably settled, and I am cer-. 1-1- n.i :ri t 2 Ij e : aia mat 11 me reserve liiiposeu on a iureiu officer did not prevent me from applying to the press, except to correct inexact reports, the public opinion, which has here so great an influence, and the good sense" which char acterizes the American people would have dissipated the misunderstanding." The bribery cases in connection with the Henncssy jury case will probably occupy most of the week in the Criminal Court. The first point in the legal defense is set for argument on Tuesday. PAYING OCCUPATION TAX. Some Beaver County Farmers Make a Kick Against It and "Win the Case Some Queer Features of the Old Law At tempting to Tax "Women. If farmers generally .get the strike notion into their heads Pennsylvania will have its hands full, truly. Some of those in Hope well township, Beaver county, have struck against paying occupation tax", and J. E. Martin, the master in the case, has decided the tax to be illegal, and recommends a de cree in favor of the objectors. It is ex pected that exceptions will be filed to the report, and that it will como before Judge Wickham in this shape, but the general opinion among those conversant with the matter is that the kickers will win, as they say there is no law authorizing the levy. This is the view taken by Commissioner Mercer and Clerk Siebert, gained by con ference with the County Commissioners of the State in their annual conventions. The theory of the law seems to be that farmers are of necessity freeholders, and must pay, in the nature of things, either a county or State tax on property, which entitles tnem to vote, but that in the cities many people, who earn considerable money, would not be obliged to do so were it not assessed on their occupation. But this idea does not hold good in all cases. 4 One "Way to Escape a Tax. The number of farmers in this State who own neither taxable personal property nor real estate is considerable. For instance, a tenant farmer might own a large number of animals, such as horses or cows, under four years old, and these are not taxable, and if he did not care particularly for a vote he could escape payment of tax. Thongh the amount involved in' this county is not large, yet it makes an item. In this county the occupation of a farmer is valued at 5100 and the tax thereon is 30 cents, and the grand total collection is probably not much over $1000, if that. In some counties a farmer's occupation is valued as low as 550. It looks like a small matter over which to trouble, but the differ ence in the State might amount to $50,000 or $75,000 a year. The method of levying ootopation tax is so crude as to suggest that a nominal sum collected from all without regard to value of occupation would be fairer and yield better results. Some years ago the theory followed was'to assess the tax on a man's supposed incoine as nearly as it could be reached approximately. Under that system men who earned $1.25 a day were taxed on about all they could make, while others making $10 or $20 a day paid hut little more, sometimes less. A case in point was that of two men, one a clerk and the other an iron roller. The former got $1,200 a year salary, while the roller made between $2,000 and $3,000. The clerk was assessed at $1,000 and the roller at $800 a year. Hundreds of Similar Cases. By looking over the books in the County Commissioners' office for the period be tween 1873 and 1883, or 1885, hundreds of such cases can be found. Now occupations are rated at $100, $300 and $500, and under authority of law, as laid down to-the Com missioners, but some of the $100 men make more money than the average of those rated at $500, while women pay not at all, thongh some of them get large salaries. They do not get a vote, however, which makes some difference. Some attempts have been made to collect taxes from femme sole traders and some saloon "keeperesses," but after sev eral futile efforts the collectors gave up, being afraid of scalding water. THE BEST PIAKT TOE E0PES. Natural Threads That Can Be Drawn to Any ' Size Desired. In Southern Arizona and Northern Mex ico there grows a plant from which rope and twine that will almost never wear out can be made. It is the mescal plant. They arc like cabbages, and on a large stalk that grows up alongide the head are long stemmed leaves with sharp, hard-pointed ends. The soft part of the leaf can be re moved and the stem stretched out to 4 or 5 feet, it is so elastic. You let this dry in the sun, and you have an eyeless needle al ready threaded. The natives of that country use nothing but the mescal thread-needle, as they call it, to sew their garments. You can make as fine a thread as needed. If you desire a fine thread, pull the stem, and it will grow smaller in the same way that rubber wilL The thread is as strong as wire. Bopes and heavy twine can be made from the plant that will be almost as strong as a steel-wire cable. The big stems of the leaves can be used, and there are about 50 leaves td each head that can be utilized. The Tjhited States and Mexico can have a monopoly in this rope, for nowhere else on the globe is this plant to be found. ALEXANDER ITETBBEN BEAD. Took a Heavy Dose of Morphine While Away on a "Visit.

Mrs. Annie Heist, aged 61 years, dropped dead in the doorway of her son's residence in Millvale borough, Saturday evening. Death was caused by heart failure, the de ceased having been a sufferer from that dis ease for a number of years. At the coroner's inquest a verdict was rendered in accordance with the facts.

STAETLING ETOORS OP 'BOODLE In Connection With Brooks' "Wholesale Liquor License Bill. SOME LITE HUSTLING MUST-BE DONE Ifboka BTAiT coanxsrosDiST.J Hakkisbueo, May 24. When the gen eral appropriation bill left the House the sum total of its various items was about $207,000 less than that of two years ago. It has been in the hands of the Senate Appro priations Committee since then and has been embellished with some additional items, which, should they be concurred in, will run it close to the old figures. One of these is for $96,000 for the salaries of ad ditional judges, not to exceed 12 in number, contemplated by pending laws. Then there is about $17,000 extra for the salaries and expenses of the six additional "factory in spectors, should the bill- pass finally and they be appointed. For the expenses of the Senate Finance Committee, in investigating the accounts of the State with City Treasurer Bardsley', the modest sum of $3,000 is set apart. As the committee only began this duty yesterday, and, in view of the fact that adjournment comes Thursday, cannot "very well devote any more than that one day to the work of investigation, the amount certainly seems liberal enough. It maybe that the com mittee proposes to continue its duties' after adjournment, hut with the Attorney Gen eral and Auditor General bringing the matter info the courts, this would seem a work of supererogation. Items for Official Portraits. "For the expenses of the Mammoth mine. committee $750 is set apart. For portraits of ex-Governor Beaver and ex-Lieutenant Governor Davies, the sum of $1,000 is granted. It is to be devoutly trusted that the artists to whom these tasks are confided will give the State something at least a lit tle in advance of some of the pictures of past worthies which now lumber the walls of the Executive Chamber. In addition to these there are scores of items running from $50 to $2,500 for extra desks, mileage of officials, etc, oH. of which will swell the total up to pretty near the last session's sum. The Brooks wholesale license bill, or rather the bill substituted by the Senate Finance Committee for 'that measure, will be rushed through before ad journment, if possible. It certainly looks as though it had been de layed in order that it might be forced through in the closing hours of the session under the threat .that those oppos ing it must take it or nothing. Its path way Seems clearer in the Senate than the House, for Mr. Brooks has announced that he will fight it He takes the ground that no classes of' liquor dealers, whether manufacturers or dealers to the trade, should be exempted from the control of the courts in the matter of obtaininglicemes. The bill as it now reads places the granting of licenses to brewers and distillers and those wholesalers who sell to the trade in the hands of the County Treasurer. Many Humors of Boodle. Bumors have been current for some time of a large sum of money having been raised for the purpose of putting the bill through. It is easier for these rumors to be started than verified,4 for" the opponents of the measure make some strong assertions in this direction, and declare that if money is brought there someone will get into trouble. The very unpleasant charges and counter charges of this kind in connection with the Lytle insurance biU have had the effect of directing attention to such rumors, and, if money has really been raised to facilitate the passage of the wholesale license bill, it will have to foe disbursed very skillfully and discreetly, if trouble is not to ensue. The constitutional convention bill is on special order for Monday evening in the House. Mr. Wherry got himself in some what of a hole on Thursday, when he opposed making the special order, but he managed to get out again pretty gracefully. 'The Democrats in the House, as well as their brethren in the Senate, oc cupy a rather ticklish situation on this bill. It is gall and wormwood to them to have to vote for it in the shape the Republicans have fixed it, and yet they dare not vote against it lest they are put in the position before the working people of .opposing the striking out of the ballot-numbering clause of the Constitution. And exactly the same predicament awaits them when the amended Baker ballot bill comes over. They Don't Believe In It. There will be some lively work on thfs measure when it reaches the House, but it is likely to go through, and yet there is little danger of being away from the truth in saying that three out of every four mem bers of both parties in both Houses don't believe in the bill and are satisfied with the present election system. There has not been a session for years in which so few appropriation bills have failed in the House, or in which there has been so little "debate over the moneys granted. There are only six appropriation bills yet on the House calendar, and they will be disposed of on Monday. One of these is to appropriate $500,000 for a new State library building. It is hard to predict the House's action on this bill. With the appropria tions now fully up to the extreme limit of increase possible under the Boyer bill, the country'members would just as soon knock $500,000 off in the direction of a new library as not. "Six mills and five millions," seems to be the slogan of the country contingent on the tax and school issues, and it will take a rattling fight to down them. Tax equaliza tion is the demand of their constituents, and if they can go home to them with the news that they have doubled the tax on corpora tions and increased it 33 per cent on money at interest, and also appropriate enough money for schools to pay almost the entire cost of keeping them .open the six months' term required by law, they expect to be re warded with the plaudit, "Well done, good and. faithful servants.
