As a News Medium it hns no eempetitor. Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to Free Trade Prophecies Discredited. At the time the Dingley bill was passing through Congress, the opponents of that measure and of the protective system in general were vocal with solemn warning as to what the effect on other countries would be. A tariff warfare of wide extent would be opened on the United States. Our products would soon be shut ovt of all the foreign markets. It was vigorously asserted that we were walling ourselves in, and woult shortly be reduced to the necessity of trad- ing only among ourselves. That was what high protection meant, and the re-enact- ment of the policy would inevitably bring about that result. Have those prophectes been fulfilled? ‘The Dingley law is only about four months old. It has not had time to justify itself aS a revenue producer, owing to the heavy anticipatory imports during the time that Cor ‘ess was giving it final shape, but its provisions have been clear frcm the day 1t was signed by the President, and foreign countries are fully advised as‘to its bear- ing and significance. Is there a single sign of a tariff war against the United States on the Horizon? Is there not, on the con- trary, a sign of commercial good-will in every direction? Foreign governments are putting the same high value on our mar- kets that we ourselves in the Dingley law have put upon them. Instead of making War on vs, they are making overtures to trade with us on terms of mvtual benefit. The reciprocity ciause of the new law promises to be one of its most useful fea- tures. Great Britain invokes it in the in- terests of her possessions in the West In- Gle Sir Wilfrid Laurier is now in Wash- ington willing to discuss terms for in- creased trade between Canada and the ed States. France desires to negotiate a reciprocity treaty, and Peru does also. It is not too much to say, indeed, that the United States has only to show a willing- ness on the subject to extend her trade by means of reciprocity on advantageous terms in nearly any direction. This, it ought to be plain enough, is the real American economic policy. Protection, as explained by the great men who have advocated it, has never meant prohibition— has never been intended to do more than help develop American industry and pro- tect American labor. Trading with other countries has always been desired, and is desired now. Absolute free trade is out of the juestion. But freer trade. under the tions of wise and business-like reci- y, Meets every end to which liberal tatesmanship need address itself. —— More Bad Work Revealed. The Star was recently gratified to note that Secretary Gage had determined to have the work on the “new city post office’ building pushed to completion. Good re- sults from the adoption of that policy are already in evidence, though not in the di- rection that was expected. ‘he applica- tion of a keen eye to the details of the building, as far as it has m% completed, bas revealed the most striking divergences from the principles of good building. First the cement floors were found to be erum- bling. Now the sky-light over the interior ecurt that is to be used for a mail-handling rocm is discovered to be practically use- less, leaking seriously whenever it rains and requiring wholesale repairs and per- haps complete replacement. The news of the case indicates that the work has been 80 badly done on this skylight that local fontractors will not undertake to make it gocd, asserting that the gutters are inade- Quate and the cementing material unrelia- bie. It is impossible now to estimate how much it will cost the government to remedy the fault. It ts quite as imposstble to de- pend upon other features of the structure, which are now to be suspected until time anc endurance prove their stability or ac- cident discloses their faults. The present administration's irherita: from its predecessor in the line of flaws in the construction of this building is more than sufficient to justify a general reorgan- ization of the building methods ef the gov- ernment. Secretary Gage has given evi- derce of good faith in this direction and has laid the foundation of a wine re- form that ought to become p anent. He has taken steps toward a div of the supervisi architect's office from political influences and this spirit should permeate every branch of the work. The time has come when this bureau should be made werthy of public confidence. Some ‘plan of administration must be devised and adopted that will produce not only good de- signs, but good workmanship. oe The lamentable death of a citizen as the result of mushroom poisoning is likely to Stimulate the old suspicion which hangs about this nutritious and palatable growth. It is worthy of note that the rules by which the commoner varieties of edible mushrooms may be recognized are few and simple and that poisoning occurs in most cases through the over-confidence which comes with knowledge and familiarity. see Great Britain cherishes the opinion that if Russia, Japan and the United States will carefully refrain from killing them, the Seals may last quite a while. ———_~+ es ___ Another Foot Ball Victim. The cause of foot-ball reform was d- vanced yesterday by a distressing though powerful argument in favor of an imme- diate change in the methods of the game. A young man died at North Homestead, near Pittsburg, from injuries received in a foot-ball game played last Saturday. This makes the fifth death of the season, accord- ing to some accounts, and the fourth ac- cording to others. But whether the first or the hundredth, {i illustrates anew” the dangers of the game. In this case the young man was tackled while running with the ball and was Immediately covered by the players of both sides. In the scrim- mage he was injured internally, his skull was fractured by a kick and he sustained such other serious hurts that he died after a few days of great suffering. A game is scheduled for this city between a local team and one from New York city. One of the Washington players, whose position Places him in darger of being tackled by at least half of the opposing team when- ever the play is made on his end of the line, weighs only 135 pounds. The average weight of the New York players is 200 pounds @nd thus it is possible that this young man may be crushed at any time in the game beneath anywhere from one-haif to one ton of human flesh. As the game 1s now played the victory lies with the team that can con- centrate the greatest amount of weight and strength at a given point in the shortest Period, regardless of consequences. Meanwhile the lower house of the Georgia legislature has passed the anti-foot-ball bill by a heavy majority. The determined ad- herents of the sport have sought to evade the forthcoming law by securing the use ef the military reservation near the city of subject, a bill for the prohibition of the game being pow before the board of alder- men. The authorities of McGill Univer- sity, Montreal, are considering the advisa- bility of prohibiting the game as a result of the rough playing of the team represent- ing that institution. Thus the agitation progresses. Each au- tumn the same sentiment against the brutal and brutalizing sport is aroused by the many casualties, but the real reformation of the game does not seem to be much closer at hand. It will not be brought about until the parents take a hand to for- bid participation in the games by their sons, and until the public at large refuses to attend games played under the rules that now put a premium upon the disablement and death of all opponents. 0 Injadicious Sympathy. There seems to have been great surprise in San Francisco yesterday when final sen- tence of death was passed upon young Durrant that the date for the execution should have been set for tomorrow, with enly two days intervening. Durrant has been fighting for his life for two years, fighting against hope, taking advantage of every technicality to obtain delays and finally sending his case to the Supreme Court of the United States upon a plea that was given but brief consideration, so trivial was its foundation. It is reported that the community appeared to feel a sympathy for the young murderer because so little time had been given to him for preparing for death. He deserves no such sympathy. He has been in the shadow of the gallows for twenty-four months or more. For at least half of that time the chances for his release from the grasp of the law were insignificant. If he is not prepared now hé will never be prepared. The judge who sentenced him wrought for the creation of a more substantial respect for the law when he limited the final period of delay to such a short space. Just such cases as this have created that feeling of in- difference to the lawful methods of punish- ment that is at the bottom of the lynching spirit. The commission of a great crime arouses the people; they recollect instances of dilatory legal proceedings; they fear that the ends of justice may be defeated, and ey resolve in their excitement to admin- ister punishment themselves, without wait- ing fer proofs, accepting circumstantial evidence as conclusive and acting in too many cases upon unreasoning impulses and blind prejudices. At the root of all this evil is the lack of faith in the judicial system that takes too little account of the temper of the people and affords the un- questionably guilty too much latitude for quibbling. Again and again in the south judges have allayed the rising passions of mobs by promising speedy triais. Such a case occurred in Kentucky only last week. In view of these facts sympathy for Dur- rant on account of his speedy execution is iil-bestowed. —_—__++e< --_ Mushroom Poisoning. The death of a well-known resident of this city as a result of the eating of poison- ous mushrooms points to the necessity of the establishment of some system of in- specting the fungi that are brought to mar- ket and sold as edible. In this case the vic- tim suffered from two mistakes, first that of the man who innocently gathered the noxious growths and then from his own error in accepting them for the harmless variety of fungoids. He was supposed to be familiar with mushrooms, being a lover of that delicacy, and it is therefore the more surprising and suggestive that he made such a blunder. with the piants can so readily be deceived by the close resemblance of the poisonous fungus to that which may be safely eaten, it is to be assumed that there are in such a city as this hundreds if not thousands of persons who are in a similar danger during the season when these growths are in the market. The chance of sickness and death may be slight, but it is much greater than in the case of the tainted meats and un- wholesome fish that are weekly destroyed in large quantities by inspectors of the health office. The mushroom trade can be regulated quite as easily as can these other branches of the food supply of the com- munity. It should be made a misdemeanor for auy person to sell mushrooms from other than appointed stands, where the stock can be inspected daily by persons who are familar in scientific detail with the differences between the two sorts of fungi. Otherwise, with children and aduits roam- ing over the fields in the suburbs daily looking for the mushrooms, for sale from house to house, mistakes are inevitable. Each year brings its cases of death and se- rious illness in almost all of the large cities of the country and it is time some step should be taken here at least to prevent a repetition of such a deplorable accident as that which has just killed one man and has threatened the life of another. Atlanta for games in the future. But the commander of the post has wisely ‘refused to countenance a game that the state seems likely to prohibit and has reinforced the position of the legislature by refusing to permit the use of the reservation for this purpose. Chicago is about to tackle the If one of his acquaintance The ambition of English statesmen to draw comparisons disparaging this form of government is natural enough. But there will be great difficulty in convincing “the fair-minded that the temporary mis-go ernment of a single city, however large, can produce results as deplorable as those which come from such a form of govern- ment as, for instance, that of Spain. ——___ + + The extent to which immigration has fallen off during hard times is an assur- ance that there must be other attractions to a European population than the mere fact that this is the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Several seasons ago these same owners tried the experiment of money making through the sale of popular players whom they had ac- quired or developed and no doubt the bank account of the club was snugly increased by the products of these deals. The effect upon the patronage, however, was not cheering, for the people came to the con- eiusion that the chief desire of the manage- ment was not the building up of a winning team, but the profitable manipulation of the base ball market with their stock in hand. The attendance feil off and the local in- terest in the game was reduced to a mini- mum. This result of the cickering opened the eyes of the managers and owners, a change of policy was publicty announced, and for two seasons at least it was main- tained, with the result that the club played better ball, acquired a higher position in the race and attracted large crowds of en- thuslastic patrons. The watch-word of the enterprise was: “Get good men, otis them, exchange them, if need be, when thi fall off in their playing, but at all seek to build up the playing abilities team by Grawing In new material.’ all. thmes of the public believed the promises of the owners and the best of feeling existed between the patrons of the game and the men in charge of the enterprise. Now, however, there are signs that the old policy of barter and sale that marked the former period of money getting and team weakening has been resumed. ‘The most extravagant offers of players for cash considerations have been made, capped as a climax by the proposition advanced to the owners of the Philadelphia club to pool all the players in the two teams, the Wagners offering, for $30,000, to give the Philadel- phia magnates first pick of a working club, the Washington nine to be made up out of the leavings. This would have been money in the pockets of the owners of the Wash- ington franchise, but it would have prac- tically put the capital out of the race for next year, leaving it with a very low-class team. The folly of such a move is evident. Even though unsuccessful, it has weagened the faith of the local patrons in the goo:l- will of the owners in the line of building up a winning team. The citizens of Washing- ton are acknowledged to be the most faith- ful supporters of the game in the country, and for its size, this city is regarded by managers as the “best base-ball town in the werld.” But it will soon lose this reputa- tion if the policy of selling players is to be resumed, whereas it will easily retain it if the club Is to be conducted on the principle of aggregation and strengthening. —__+ + + —___ The inmates of an Illinois asylum for the insane have started a newspaper.

We think they may be comprehensively summed up in the following extract from Olmsted’s “Journey Through Texas: ‘I went up,” says an old Indian scout, “with Lieutenant -——, when he tried to make a treaty with the Northern Apaches. He had been talking up in the clouds, all nonsense, for half an hour, and I was try- ing to translate it just as foolish as he said it. An old Indian jumped up and stopped me. ‘What does your chief talk to us in this way for? We ain't babies; we are fighting men. If he has got anything to tell us we will hear it; but we didn’t come here to be amused—we came to be made drunk and to get some blankets and tobacco,’ ” —_++2—_____ The President Knows Better. From the Springfield Republican. Those congressmen who are returning to Washington with stories that the repub- lican losses in the recent elections were caused by President McKinley’s adherence to civil service reform, know better, and they know that the President must know better if he is not regarded by them as a fool. They know, and the President knows, that what offices he has already filled have disappointed twenty men where one was satisfied; and that if the number of offices filled had been doubled or quadrupled the number of dissatistied voters would have been increased proportionately. It is a rule which every administration learns to its cost that in the distribution of the spoils the disgruntled within the party are multi- plied in geometrical ratio, while the satis- fied increase only in an arithmetical ratio. ———— +e —___ Chance for More Trouble.
