Tho real interest ot tho situation will only begin alter tbo military occupation ot Khartoum bos been effected and the power ot tho Khalifa finally broken. An Imposslblo Suggestion. Major Gen. Wcsi.r.Y Mcnmrr, tbo rank- ing ofllccr ot tbo army next after Major-Ge- n. Miles, arrived At Cavlto, In the Philippine Islands, on tho SBth, or last Mouday, with the third expedition ot American troops despatched from Ban Francisco. Ho assumed command ot our military forces In the Philippines lmmedl-atcl- y upon arriving. Six other expeditions of American troops bavo sallod from San Francisco slnco May 28, wben tho first started under tbo com- mand ot Brlg,-Gcn- . Anderson. Tho last ot them sailed only two days ago. Together, these troops make- - upaa impos- ing command, sufficient to accord with tho high rank of Major-Gen- . Memutt, toasauro tho capture of Manila, and In association with tho squadron of Admiral Dewky, to hold tho Philippines In tho military power of tho United States. Spain Is pow- erless against this combined military and naval forco. Why has this splendid corps of picked troops been sent to tbo Philippines t Why did Major-Ge- Mnnnrrr go with them, commissioned to assumo command over them, and as a military Governor! "Why bas tbo squadron ot Admiral Dewey been strengthened with powerful vessels, though already ho had demonstrated his ability to bold bla own against any naval forco Spain could send against him f Has It all been for a vain display only t novo Major-Gen- . MEimirr and his troops been transported soven thousand miles across the Pacific simply to be called back almost as soon as thoy havo reached their destination t Is this a sort of country to g3 into the farcical business ot marching an army up hill and then down hill, simply to afford tho world a obance to make merri- ment over Its Indecision? Tbcso questions, of course, answer them- selves. The whole policy of tho Adminis- tration, from tho very day of tho historic victory of Dewey at Cavlte, and all tho subsequent military and naval move- ments at and toward tho Philippines, lndl-cat- o unmistakably a determination to take thcBO islands as our rightful property by conquestandtoholdthematourwlll. Theso costly nnd prodigious demonstrations and preparations have not been made to get possession of a coaling station merely. Thoy were unnecessary for any such pur- pose ; would havo been culpably wasteful for that end only, since Admiral Dewey had already taken a coaling station beforo our first military expedition to the Philip- pines bad started. Major-Gen- . Memutt was sent with a largo forco of troops to capture the Philip- pines and take command of tbem. Ho did not go to gtvo them back to Spain. Tho talk of some of the newspapers about the Intention of 'the Administration to restore them to Spain as a frco gift In order to purchase a pusillanimous peace after our complete triumph In war, is absurd. It is preposterous. It Is impossible. No sug- gestion of deserting those islands and be- traying their inhabitants by abandoning thorn to the oppressive and destructive rulo of Spain bas entered the head of William McKini.ev. Tho Retention of All tlio Philippines tho Simplest and Safest Course. It Is said that, when tho disposition to bo made of tho Philippines Is under discus- sion, soma ot the President's advisers rec- ommend that wo should keep only a coaling .station ; others favor the occupation of Lu- zon ; others, again, are of the opinion that tho annexation of all tbo Islands Is the course least likely to give us trouble in the end or to disturb tbo general peace in the far East. Let us look closely at each of these proposed solutions ot the problem. Wo did not need Admiral Dewey'8 splen- did victory at Cavlto In order to secure a coaling station In tho Philippine archi- pelago. Spain could easily have been brought to make, this slight concession at any time when the accomplished or pros- pective loss ot Cuba and Porto BIco ahould have constrained her to suo for peace. If wo Intended to exact only a coal- ing station, It would have been wiser and kinder to bavo avoided any decisive naval demonstration In tbo harbor of Ma- nila, for then AauiNAi.no's followers would not bavo been emboldened to revolt, and thus to cxpobo themselves to future measures of vlndtctlvo repression on tho part of restored Spanish authority. Wo should not then havo becomo accomplices In tho eventual butchery of men whose crime Is that they, like tho Cubans, cannot) brook Spanish misrule, and that thoy, again llko the Cubans, bavo looked for at our hands. Wo shall become accomplices, however, in the massacre of tho rebels In Luzon it wo restore tho Phil- ippines to Spain and enable ber to uso for their subjugatlou tho 100,000 disciplined soldiers now stationed In Cuba and Porto BIco. If that Is to bo tho outcomo ot Ad- miral Dewey's victory, his great ochleve-men- t nt Cavlto will prove to have been a curse and not u blessing to the temporarily encourngod victims of Spanish oppression. Our moral obligation to give peace, order and civil liberty to the transmarine dependencies of Spain is, in truth, far stronger in the case ot the Phil-ipplne- s than in that of Porto Illco. The Porto Rlcans have not revolted; they have given no overt proofs ot dis- content with Spain's administration. Tho Philippines, on tho other band, have revolted many times, and, for tbo last Insurrection, we are ourselves directly responsible. But It may bo said by those who adrocato tho retention merely of a coaling station, that they do not In- tend to leave tho Insurgents under Aaui-NAI.d- o at tho mercy of the Spaniards; that, on tho contrary, they mean to require guar- antees of amnesty and good government. What guarantees can bo given by Spain that, in tbo light ot experience, wo can, without hypocrisy, accept! Is that perfldi-ou- i power more likely to bo controlled by paper guarantees at the further end of the globe than tbo was by those given to Cuba by Martinez Campos in 18781 Let us not try to deceive ourselves or others In this matter. If wooredetonnlnod to replace the natives of the Philippines under the yoke of thlr old taskmaster, let us do It with bold and cnty .Indifference to tho opla-- . JMU - " MMaHBHHHHHHHHHHHV. Ions ot the world. Let us not sneak be- hind a protended belief In Spanish good faith And hunnatty. Thoso who favor tho acquisition by us of Luzon only, and the continuanco of Spanish authority in tbo rest of the archipelago, avoid tho reproach ot abandoning tho Insur- gents In that Island, whom wo oursolves, by our triumphant demonstration at Cavltd and other proceedings, Incited to revolt. Thy also deprlvo tbo rnarltlino powers in- terested in the far East of any Immediate pretext for Interfering with tbo settlement of tho Philippine question, for none of tboso powora can reasonably object to Spain's keeping as many of her insular possessions as abo can. There are, nevertheless, grave objections to this course. Having lost Luzon, tbo Madrid Government would concentrate all Its energies on tho crea- tion ot a new insular empire out of tbo fort lie and populous Island lying south ot Luzon and upon the thorough sub- jugation ot the great island ot Mindanao, to which purposo alio could dovoto the forces that will bo set frco in tbo Antilles. Wo should havo In Spain n vlndlctlvo neighbor hungrily waiting for tho hour wben she could take us at a disadvantage or place her porta at the disposal of a power hostile to the United States, and Incessantly busied in fomenting disaffec- tion among the natives ot Luzon, whoso language, customs and Institutions, so far as they are Europcanlxed at all, are Span- ish, and whose Catholicism Is ot tbo big- oted Spanish type. The essential condition of assuring tranquillity, obedience to law, and content with our administration on tho part of tho natives ot Luzon Is the quick elimination of Spanish Influcnco and tbo immediate implanting of tho conviction that Spanish rulo Is a thing of, tho past. No such convic- tion would bo implanted, and no such elimination of Influence would bo attain- able, If tho Islands adjoining Luzon, and connected with it by a common language, a common religion, and a hundred com- mercial ties, were allowed to remain under Spanish sovereignty. Wo should be kept continually in hot water by tho proximity of Spain, and should ultimately, In all likelihood, bo forced Into another war, under circumstances, perhaps, less favor- able than thoso which now exist. All complications, Internal and external, can bo avoided by tho annexation of tho wholo Philippine archipelago. Tho Amer- icanization of Luzon would RO on apace, unobstructed by Spanish intrigues; and the reduction ot Mindanao and othor islands to civilization would provo no formidable task to the American peoplo, which, within tho motnory of mon now living, has re- claimed a region of continental magnitude onco peopled by red men between tho Mis- sissippi and tho Pacific. Tbo revival of piracy among the Malays ot the Sulu archi- pelago would bo put out of tho question, whereas It is doubtful whether Spain, with the remnant of a navy left at hor disposal, would bo ablo to prevent it. Whatever arguments, in fine, are presented for tho retention of Luzon may be urged for the annexation ot the whole archipelago, and there are, as wo bavo seen, soma special and weighty reasons for preferring tho lat- ter course. Speed In Battleships. The Navy Department has acted wlsoly In announcing that for our next group of battleships, tho Maine, Missouri and Ohio, a preference will be given to thoso builders who, with other things equal, guarantee the highest speed and greatest coal en- durance. This decision accords with tho dcslro of Congress and the dictates of common sense. Since tbo call for bids, on tbo 17th of June, an event has occurred which has shown impressively tbo value of speed for battle- ships. At Santiago the Oregon's burst of speed played an Important part In prevent- ing tho escape of tho Cristobal Colon. Tho same lesson, too, was taught on the Span- ish side. Wo are left somewhat in the dark as to bow far Cehvera's ships were prepared for their run, but at all events they ought to bavo been bo prepared, if possible, by tho most assiduous work of divers in scraping their hulls. Whatever tho fact, It turned out that tho Spaniards' speed was an requisite for saving their ships, and, aa has been said, to us It proved a most valuablo element In tho pursuit. The business of a fighting ship Is to fight; and accordingly It is necessary to make armor and armament prime requisites In ships of the line. But there are cases, even though they may be exceptional, when guns and plates are not everything, and when engine power may bo needed to tako the ship away from foes overwhelmingly superior, or to enable It to overhaul Its prey. Our pioneer battleships ot the fhjst class were the Indiana, tho Massachusetts and tho Oregon. For them the contracts required only fifteen knots, which In tboso days was thought a fair speed for tho special duties required of them. Under the favor- able conditions of picked coal and picked firemen, which attend speed trials, espe- cially wben premiums are offered, they all surpsr id their guarantees, tho Indiana, with 0,738 horso power, making 10.047 knots; the Massachusetts, with 10,403 horso power, making 10.21 knots, and tlio Oregon, with 11,111 horso power, makjng 10.70 knots. Meanwhile a new armorclad, tbo Iowa, had been called for, and of her, with somewhat lighter armament, 10 knots was required; and that also was beaten easily But since then wo have been build- ing the Kearsarge, Kentucky, Illinois, Ala- bama and Wisconsin, and for nil of them wo have exacted only 10 knots, while tho same rate was fixed In tbo original adver- tisement for the Maine, Missouri and Ohio. Very properly, therefore, an effort Is now making to secure greater speed for this last group. It we turn to other navies we shall find many big battleships which, with heavy armor and heavy batteries, secure 17ia and In soma Instances more thou 18 knots. England, for example, has nine, tbo Majcs-tlo- , Magnificent, Illustrious, Victorious, Mars, Jupiter, Princo George, Cesar and nannlbal, ot 14,000 tons ruth, mounting four h and twelvo rapid-fir- e guns In tho main battery, with at least 12,000 horse power and making 17Lj knot. She bas ulsoaclastot 14,010-to- battleships, including tbo lloyal Sover-elg- lloyal Oak, llamlllle, Repulse, Reso- lution. Roieuge, Hood and Empress of In- dia, carrying four 13 ln?h and ten guns, with a maximum ot 18 Inches of side armor and 17 inches ot gun pro- tection, and yet with 13,000 horso power reaching 17a knots. She has building her 10,000-to- n Formidable, Implacable, and Irresistible, carrying four h and twelve guns, to attain 10,000 horse power and 18 knots. She has ber BarfUur and Centurion of J 0,000 tons. With OTer 18,000 horsepower and I8g knots. She bas her Canopus, Ocean, Ven- geance, Glory, and Goliath ot 12.000 tons, carrying four h and twelve guns, attaining 13,000 horse power and 183. knots. Turning to other foreign navies, we And 17 and 18 knots required ot armored ships ot tho lino ot more than 10,000 tons, and having tbo heavy plating and batteries of first-clas- s battleships. Thus, the French turret ships Botivct and Brcnnus are cred- ited with 17a and 17.1 knots respectively, tbo.Cornot with 17.80, tho Charlemagne and Charles Marts! with 18, tbo Goulols and J5na with 18, tbo JauregutborrT with 10. Some ot theso ships mount four h guns, with other pieces, nnd havo belts ot 17 Inches. The Stint-Lou- is Is still another French 18-kn- turret ship. Ocrmanyhasthrcel8-knotbat-tlcshtps- , but they arrfnot equol to ours In armament and armor. Italy's well-know- n Italia and Lepanto carry 10 Inches of compound armor at tho gun positions and four 100-to- guns each, besides other pieces, and mako 18 knots. Sho has also other fast ships ot the line, but their armor Is not so extensive or satisfactory as ours. Russia's Poltava and Pctropavlovsk carry four h and twelve 0.0-inc- h guns, with lGVInch belts, and moke 173 knots. Tho Oslabya and Porowlet, now building, ore to mako 18 knots, but ore less heavily armed and armored. It Is clear that thoro Is a chanco tor as to Im- prove in this matter of speed for flrst-cla- battleships, and tho recent notification ot tbo Navy Department will no doubt help to mako that improvement in the Maine, Missouri and Ohio. Pulitzer's Monument. Wo are glad to sco that the men of the Sovcuty-flrs- t Regiment, whoso names ap- peared In tbo World as subscribers to PuHTZtn's proposed monument to the sol- diers who fell at Santiago, bavo repudiated tho wholo affair. Their names were pro- cured by misrepresentation and fraud, as wo bad surmised, and tho manner ot their cancellation bas been emphatic and appropriate. Tho members of the Seventy-firs- t havo indeed causo to congratulate themselves nt having seen, before it was too late, that to accept from PuLRunt a monument dedicated ostensibly to the regi- ment, but In fact devised to bury and hldo Pulitzeh'b own Bbame, would have loft upon tho regiment a mark of lasting dls-grac- o and would bavo planted tho Idea that attacks upon mon of a spirit so pusil- lanimous probably contained an olemont ot truth. Pulitzer's monument Is a failure. No one will subscrlbo to itoxcept under stress ot blackmail, and tho blackmailing bust ness Is In a state of shocking decay, becauso peoplo aro no longer afraid of Pulit. znn. Even thoso unhappy people, politi- cians and businessmen, upon whom Pulit- zer bas had a shameful hold whereby they havo been led to do bis bidding from time to tlmo and to lend tho monster their aid and countenance, even few of them ore longer to bo coerced or cajoled. They are emancipating themselves. They are shak- ing off that horrible hand with tho stains of poor Slayback's blood forever black upon It. And the "endless chains" that Pulitzer's creatures have started I They" do not Thoy break at their Initial links. Tho children cannot be caught. Thoy are not to bo inveigled. Their fathers and mothers have called them within becauso tho pollution ot Pulitzer Is In the air, and thoy must not bo contaminated. Pulitzer thought to sell more papers by accusing tho Seventy-firs- t Regiment of shameful cowardlco in tho field beforo Santiago. Pulitzer Is Insane. Naming Our Armies. During the civil war tbo troop called for by tho Government of the United States were organized Into armies to which dis- tinctive names were given. We had the Army of tho Potomac, the Army of the Cumberland, tho Army of the Tennessee, tho Army of the Ohio, tho Army of tho Gulf, tho Army of the James, tho Army of Georgia, and dthcr armies. Tlio Confederate, forces, in like manner, wcreorganUed as tho Army of Northern Virginia, tbo Army of Tennessee, and soon; and upon both sides the mon camo to take prido In belonging to these armies as such. Their causo and flag came first, but the dis- tinctive army brought out a feeling of special comradeship that long outlived tho war, and. Indeed, lives to this day, aa tho annual meetings of the Society of the Army of tbo Pptomac or tho Society of the Army of tho Cumberland vlll bear witness. This historic fact gives us a suggestion for Tho forces operating under Gen. Miles in Porto Rico nnd all that may join him should be called the Army ot Porto Rico. Thoso that aro around Manila, and all that may come under Gen. Msn-rj- tt there, should bo tho Army of the Philippines. Tboso that havo campaigned and are campaigning with Shafter should be called the Army of Santiago. If Havana falls without a struggle the Army of San- tiago may succeed to tbo title still held In reserve, that of tho Army of Cuba. It Is notable, though not surprising, that tho nowspapors which ore most anxious to trip up tho Administration of President McKihlct aro agreed In advlslns the restoration of tho Philippines to Spain.

Tho conquests at Ma- nila and at Santiago do Cuba were not acci- dents, and thoy ought In a measure to disprove tho charges of inofflcloney. But tho specific-charge- that Gen. Miles Is without military training ought to bo mot squarely by tbo specific facts, whloh should havo tho widest circulation. They aro Interesting, and thoy may proiro on Incentive to tho rising genera- tion. At tho outbreak of tho civil war Nelson A. Miles was a clerk tn a counting house In Boston. At his own oxponso ho raised a company of 100 mcn.iwhlch ho tendered to tho nation, with his services. But ho was only 22 years of ago, nnd. being deemed too young to command It. ho went to tho front as Lieutenant; yet at tho end of thirteen months ho was a Colonel, commanding a regiment In the field, and In about three years thereafter ho com- manded tho Second Corps In tho Army of tho rotomae. This was the largest nnd hardest Worked corps In that army, which formed a battle line around Richmond twenty-si- x miles long, was always tho nearest to tho onomy, nnd was tho corps to which Oen. Lee sent his offer to surrender. And, furthormoro. Gen. Miles managed his command so successfully that Gen. Grant personally recommended the young Major-Gcner- to President Abraham Lincoln tor his gallantry, ns Gen. Meade, who com- manded at Gettysburg, had already dono. If history records the name of any othor Gen- eral who successfully managed 25.000 men on the battlefield at tho early ago of 25 years I do not know that name. It Is true, as ohargod, that Gon. Miles was not educated nt West Point. It Is equally truo that ho had the advantage of a higher "military training" than any military acadomy In tho world could give. Bis school was on tho march and In tho battlefield; In tho trench, tho camp and tho fortification. In his school thoory ea e way to practlco ; tho Imaginary to the real, and blackboard oxerclsos to veritable objoct les- sons. Tho course ot study was longer than the ordinary academic-- It was mora thorough, also, and the curriculum was more oxtended. More- over, tho regular course was supplemented by a te course, Tho young horo who was thrice wounded and who was four times brovottod for gallantry on the battlefield, who had combated tho Lees and Longstreet and Stonewall Jack son, who had fought In all the battles whloh engaged tho Army of tho Potomac ex- cepting ono. from which ho was restrained by a wound, who bad especially distinguished him- self at the battle of the Wilderness and Snott-sylvan- la Court House, Is called to meet tho Klowas. tho Comanches, tho Hloux, tho Nez Percos. the Bannocks, and tho ADaohes. undor such chieftains as Hitting Bull.

"Tor diplomas ho had hiscommls-slon- s, which included every grndo from Llnu-tena- nt of Volunteers to Major-Genor- In tho regular establishment commanding nil tho armies of tho United States. Tothnsoworo added his degrees Iu tho shape of tho votes of thanks of four Legislatures. State and Territorial. to a Con- gressional modal of honor, the people of Ari- zona gave him a jewelled Hword: for Gen. Miles Unally subduod tho Indian tribes and re- tired them to their reservations, where they now live In peace and quiet, whereas thoy had been a continual menaoo to ourfrontlor otor slnco Capt. John Smith settlod at Jamestown. Va . in the year 1008. His stroteglo ability has been proved at San- tiago do Cuba .and Tonco. whore ho also oonflrmod his title of thowlnnerof bloodless Jjctorles." Thoso campaigns woro planned in V ashlngton by a board of strategy, of which Gon. Miles was a member and ono of the load- ing spirits. His wisdom In advising an attack Spon the southeastern shore of Cuba without the popular cry ot " On to Havana!" is now apparent. It was cooler and healthier than the north shore, and at tho beginning of the campaign ho had cautioned hi officers to pre- serve the men from disease as carotully as they would from bullets. Ho Is not yot 50 years of age. and is tho last on tho aotlvo list of a long lino of Illustrious Generals developed by tho eh 11 war of lbOlto Gen. nussell A. Alger. Beoretry of War. who has had to bear so much unjust criticism be- cause his dotractors cralm a want ot military training, took part In more than sixty battles sn! skirmishes during our four yoara' war. Ho onllstod as a private soldier In 1001. andTto graauatedln lfc a Major Genoral by brevet. It required only thirty "days for him to rnlso himself from tho ranks to a captaincy and less than soven months to becomo Major of his regi- ment. Ho certainly performed a clovor strateglo act on Aug. 1. 1802.' when U.'&ll&r, Etotod mon he attacked and 3.000 Cpnfoderatos undor Gen. OhaU he took BOO Coufodorato prisoners of war. Ho, mmseir, had once been captured: but though be was badly wounded he escaped on the day of his cnpturo. Ho was ono ot the ablest Gov-erno- rs the State of Michigan over had, and ho doollned a renomlnatlon. He has been promi- nently mentioned, as a candidate for tho Prosl-aonc- y. arid has filled tho omoo ot Command-ar-ln-Chi- ef of tfw Grand Army of tho Uepubllo. His llfo has been a series of suc- cesses, and his powora of organization nnd of management of mon and of affairs of magnitude are demonstrated In tho business founded by nlm, whloh now omnloys upward of 1,000 men and market; not ess than 140,000.000 feet of umbor yearly. His reputation 1 that his word Is as good as his bond, and Tils Intimation is as good as his word. Ills patriotism was fully Proen when munitions of war wero needed and Congress had not made tho necessary ap- propriation. At this junoturo Mr. Secretary Alger Placed his Immense fortuno at thedts-PHW.P'.t- President, and offered to guaranteo all bills for tho necessary war Mr Secretary Alger and Gen. Miles donles moat emphatically that tho former was Instrumental In tlio ap- pointment of young Mr. Alger to tho staff of Gou.

Nobody has ever doubted the quality ot tho United States troops, but tho signal valor displayed by officers and mon alike ot tho army in Cuba, tholr bravery, and tho perfoot aplomb with whloh thoy met death must commend them straight to tho heartot every Amorlean. In tho civil war, tho regulars, fine as they woro, wore yet practically swamped, so far as filling tho publlo cyo Is concerned, among the great armlos of volunteers.

Cub and Porto Elcomust of course pass under our wings, but tho Philippines with their vast commercial possibilities ahould be also retained, even if we decide In after year to dispose of them to oar advantage, when present tension will be removed.

In To ran Editor of Thb BVHHtr: Tno 11 Bun's editorial of Wednesday and Thursday 11 rclatlvo to baseball hoodlumlsm Bhould bo m copied by oory newspaper In tho country. H Many of our games horo In tho Eastern 'B League are interrupted by disgraceful wrangles fl during which, as a rulo, u majority It not all of M tho players leao their positions In tho Hold nnd si abuse tho umpire. Ha ors upon tho bench also M frequently hurl oplthcts at tho umpire with lm- - H punlty and In utter disregard of tho rules H which were quoted in our article of yesterday. fl Tho umpires employod are, us a rulo, luootn- - H potent In their judgmont and cowardly in tholr M decisions; consequently tho coarso, bulldozing n tyranny of tho playore is well nigh eupiomo. B Your editorial lanco has penetrated to the I core. Glvo It a still freer hand. Cut deep and n wide, for thoro aro still largo quantities nt con- - H tamlnatlng matter to bo romovod before tho 1 wound can heal. n Baseball from Maine to California Is surely tn .B . a bad way. Leagues hno boon abandoned, salaries cut, players released nnd tennis train1- - M ferred In tho efforts to nold u collapse. No doubt tho waroxcitement has had Bomothina-t- do with this condition of nffalrHi but tho chief causo lies In tho disgraceful and disgusting rowdyism practiced by tho players from year to year with increasing freedom until hundreds of poace-Iovin- g admirers ot tho gamoln oaxj community havo becomo dlsgnstod nnd quit. Umpires, as a rule, nro not mentally qualified to perform In a satisfactory manner tho duties required of thorn They nro not selected be- cause of their Intellectual superiority and good lung capacity, but usually becauso of having been at ono time a great pitcher, a star fires baseman orphenomonal backstop. Let Mr. ioung furnish umpires capable ot boing "masters of tho Meld" nnd hold thorn to a rigid enforcement ot tho rules. As to inter- ference on tlio part of club o facials during tho progress of the came, tho fault enn bo easily legislated out of existence. Msy Tub Bun eershlne.

To tus EcrTOB or Tue Eo ir: It Is not on Intention to open an argument regarding th Sunday amusement question, but wo feel It our duty to ear a few word in referenoo to a matter In which wo think the polics authorities draw the line rather looaely. For several season past a certain baseball team has been playing Vn a plot of ground In Rldg-woo- L. I., on Saturday and Sunday. Hundred of people witnessed these games, and it was no doubt th means of diverting; the thought of many of these peoplo from drifting in other channels of amuaement not entirely free rrom Immorality. This team of ball player continued to play th name since th beginning of the preaent season unUl two week ago, when tho police ordered tho field cleared and irave orders that ft wonld no longer bo allowed. ' ' It la said that the minister of tho immediate vi- cinity are the prirao movers against these Sunday games. Whether that Is the truth we know not, but wo do know that within a Btane' throw of these ball grounds are a number of plcnio parks, all of which are filled to overflowing every Sunday afternoon and long after midnight, dancing, singing, and band playing. , Do the police stop these affair T They do not. The t police ay that paid admission to a Sunday ball . frame la a violaUon of the law. At th ball game to above there waa no admission charged, hence there was no breach of the law, according to l their idea of law breaking. Hut at theso picnics you pay an admission. Doe the law which says to charge admiaalon to a ball game on Sunday la unlaw- ful and must cease, not cover tho picnic, whero ad- mission is charged and danclntr, target shootlne, drinkinc music, chance lotteries, and other alluring attractions are carried on t Maybe not, but that seems a very one-aid- law. From onr point of view of tho affair we think the police have atopjved the moat Innocent and healthful of the two. If. Zwebqex. Manager Volunteer A. 0 Brooklyn. UnooxLTir, K. Y Julys.

An Imposslblo Suggestion.

Major Gen. Wcsi.r.Y Mcnmrr, tbo rank-ing ofllccr ot tbo army next after Major-Ge- n.

Miles, arrived At Cavlto, In thePhilippine Islands, on tho SBth, or lastMouday, with the third expedition otAmerican troops despatched from BanFrancisco. Ho assumed command ot ourmilitary forces In the Philippines lmmedl-atcl- y

upon arriving.Six other expeditions of American troops

bavo sallod from San Francisco slnco May28, wben tho first started under tbo com-mand ot Brlg,-Gcn- . Anderson. Tho last otthem sailed only two days ago.

Together, these troops make- - upaa impos-ing command, sufficient to accord with thohigh rank of Major-Gen- . Memutt, toasaurotho capture of Manila, and In associationwith tho squadron of Admiral Dewky,to hold tho Philippines In tho militarypower of tho United States. Spain Is pow-erless against this combined military andnaval forco.

Why has this splendid corps of pickedtroops been sent to tbo Philippines t Whydid Major-Ge- Mnnnrrr go with them,commissioned to assumo command overthem, and as a military Governor! "Whybas tbo squadron ot Admiral Dewey beenstrengthened with powerful vessels, thoughalready ho had demonstrated his ability tobold bla own against any naval forco Spaincould send against him f

Has It all been for a vain display only tnovo Major-Gen- . MEimirr and his troopsbeen transported soven thousand milesacross the Pacific simply to be called backalmost as soon as thoy havo reached theirdestination t Is this a sort of country to g3into the farcical business ot marching anarmy up hill and then down hill, simply toafford tho world a obance to make merri-ment over Its Indecision?

Tbcso questions, of course, answer them-selves. The whole policy of tho Adminis-tration, from tho very day of tho historicvictory of Dewey at Cavlte, and alltho subsequent military and naval move-ments at and toward tho Philippines, lndl-cat- o

unmistakably a determination to takethcBO islands as our rightful property byconquestandtoholdthematourwlll. Thesocostly nnd prodigious demonstrations andpreparations have not been made to getpossession of a coaling station merely.Thoy were unnecessary for any such pur-pose ; would havo been culpably wastefulfor that end only, since Admiral Deweyhad already taken a coaling station beforoour first military expedition to the Philip-pines bad started.

Major-Gen- . Memutt was sent with alargo forco of troops to capture the Philip-pines and take command of tbem. Ho didnot go to gtvo them back to Spain. Thotalk of some of the newspapers about theIntention of 'the Administration to restorethem to Spain as a frco gift In order topurchase a pusillanimous peace after ourcomplete triumph In war, is absurd. It ispreposterous. It Is impossible. No sug-gestion of deserting those islands and be-

traying their inhabitants by abandoningthorn to the oppressive and destructive ruloof Spain bas entered the head of WilliamMcKini.ev.

Tho Retention of All tlio Philippinestho Simplest and Safest Course.

It Is said that, when tho disposition tobo made of tho Philippines Is under discus-sion, soma ot the President's advisers rec-ommend that wo should keep only a coaling.station ; others favor the occupation of Lu-zon ; others, again, are of the opinion thattho annexation of all tbo Islands Is thecourse least likely to give us trouble in theend or to disturb tbo general peace in thefar East. Let us look closely at each ofthese proposed solutions ot the problem.

Wo did not need Admiral Dewey'8 splen-did victory at Cavlto In order to secure acoaling station In tho Philippine archi-pelago. Spain could easily have beenbrought to make, this slight concession atany time when the accomplished or pros-pective loss ot Cuba and Porto BIco ahouldhave constrained her to suo for peace. Ifwo Intended to exact only a coal-ing station, It would have been wiserand kinder to bavo avoided any decisivenaval demonstration In tbo harbor of Ma-nila, for then AauiNAi.no's followerswould not bavo been emboldened to revolt,and thus to cxpobo themselves to futuremeasures of vlndtctlvo repression on thopart of restored Spanish authority. Woshould not then havo becomo accomplicesIn tho eventual butchery of men whosecrime Is that they, like tho Cubans, cannot)brook Spanish misrule, and that thoy,again llko the Cubans, bavo looked for

at our hands. Wo shall becomeaccomplices, however, in the massacre oftho rebels In Luzon it wo restore tho Phil-ippines to Spain and enable ber to uso fortheir subjugatlou tho 100,000 disciplinedsoldiers now stationed In Cuba and PortoBIco. If that Is to bo tho outcomo ot Ad-miral Dewey's victory, his great ochleve-men- t

nt Cavlto will prove to havebeen a curse and not u blessing tothe temporarily encourngod victims ofSpanish oppression. Our moral obligationto give peace, order and civil liberty to thetransmarine dependencies of Spain is, intruth, far stronger in the case ot the Phil-ipplne- s

than in that of Porto Illco. ThePorto Rlcans have not revolted; theyhave given no overt proofs ot dis-content with Spain's administration.Tho Philippines, on tho other band,have revolted many times, and, fortbo last Insurrection, we are ourselvesdirectly responsible. But It may bo saidby those who adrocato tho retention merelyof a coaling station, that they do not In-

tend to leave tho Insurgents under Aaui-NAI.d- o

at tho mercy of the Spaniards; that,on tho contrary, they mean to require guar-antees of amnesty and good government.What guarantees can bo given by Spainthat, in tbo light ot experience, wo can,without hypocrisy, accept! Is that perfldi-ou- i

power more likely to bo controlled bypaper guarantees at the further end of theglobe than tbo was by those given to Cubaby Martinez Campos in 18781 Let us nottry to deceive ourselves or others In thismatter. If wooredetonnlnod to replace thenatives of the Philippines under the yokeof thlr old taskmaster, let us do It withbold and cnty .Indifference to tho opla--

Ions ot the world. Let us not sneak be-

hind a protended belief In Spanish goodfaith And hunnatty.

Thoso who favor tho acquisition by us ofLuzon only, and the continuanco of Spanishauthority in tbo rest of the archipelago,avoid tho reproach ot abandoning tho Insur-gents In that Island, whom wo oursolves,by our triumphant demonstration at Cavltdand other proceedings, Incited to revolt.Thy also deprlvo tbo rnarltlino powers in-

terested in the far East of any Immediatepretext for Interfering with tbo settlementof tho Philippine question, for none of tbosopowora can reasonably object to Spain'skeeping as many of her insular possessionsas abo can. There are, nevertheless, graveobjections to this course. Having lostLuzon, tbo Madrid Government wouldconcentrate all Its energies on tho crea-tion ot a new insular empire out oftbo fort lie and populous Island lyingsouth ot Luzon and upon the thorough sub-jugation ot the great island ot Mindanao,to which purposo alio could dovoto theforces that will bo set frco in tbo Antilles.Wo should havo In Spain n vlndlctlvoneighbor hungrily waiting for tho hourwben she could take us at a disadvantageor place her porta at the disposal of apower hostile to the United States, andIncessantly busied in fomenting disaffec-tion among the natives ot Luzon, whosolanguage, customs and Institutions, so faras they are Europcanlxed at all, are Span-ish, and whose Catholicism Is ot tbo big-oted Spanish type. The essential conditionof assuring tranquillity, obedience to law,and content with our administration ontho part of tho natives ot Luzon Is thequick elimination of Spanish Influcncoand tbo immediate implanting of thoconviction that Spanish rulo Is athing of, tho past. No such convic-tion would bo implanted, and no suchelimination of Influence would bo attain-able, If tho Islands adjoining Luzon, andconnected with it by a common language,a common religion, and a hundred com-mercial ties, were allowed to remain underSpanish sovereignty. Wo should be keptcontinually in hot water by tho proximityof Spain, and should ultimately, In alllikelihood, bo forced Into another war,under circumstances, perhaps, less favor-able than thoso which now exist.

All complications, Internal and external,can bo avoided by tho annexation of thowholo Philippine archipelago. Tho Amer-icanization of Luzon would RO on apace,unobstructed by Spanish intrigues; andthe reduction ot Mindanao and othor islandsto civilization would provo no formidabletask to the American peoplo, which, withintho motnory of mon now living, has re-claimed a region of continental magnitudeonco peopled by red men between tho Mis-sissippi and tho Pacific. Tbo revival ofpiracy among the Malays ot the Sulu archi-pelago would bo put out of tho question,whereas It is doubtful whether Spain, withthe remnant of a navy left at hor disposal,would bo ablo to prevent it. Whateverarguments, in fine, are presented for thoretention of Luzon may be urged for theannexation ot the whole archipelago, andthere are, as wo bavo seen, soma specialand weighty reasons for preferring tho lat-ter course.

Speed In Battleships.The Navy Department has acted wlsoly

In announcing that for our next group ofbattleships, tho Maine, Missouri and Ohio,a preference will be given to thoso builderswho, with other things equal, guaranteethe highest speed and greatest coal en-durance.

This decision accords with tho dcslro ofCongress and the dictates of common sense.Since tbo call for bids, on tbo 17th of June,an event has occurred which has shownimpressively tbo value of speed for battle-ships. At Santiago the Oregon's burst ofspeed played an Important part In prevent-ing tho escape of tho Cristobal Colon. Thosame lesson, too, was taught on the Span-ish side. Wo are left somewhat in thedark as to bow far Cehvera's ships wereprepared for their run, but at all eventsthey ought to bavo been bo prepared, ifpossible, by tho most assiduous work ofdivers in scraping their hulls. Whatevertho fact, It turned out that tho Spaniards'speed was an requisite forsaving their ships, and, aa has been said, tous It proved a most valuablo element In thopursuit.

The business of a fighting ship Is to fight;and accordingly It is necessary to makearmor and armament prime requisites Inships of the line. But there are cases, eventhough they may be exceptional, whenguns and plates are not everything, andwhen engine power may bo needed to takothe ship away from foes overwhelminglysuperior, or to enable It to overhaul Itsprey.

Our pioneer battleships ot the fhjst classwere the Indiana, tho Massachusetts andtho Oregon. For them the contracts requiredonly fifteen knots, which In tboso dayswas thought a fair speed for tho specialduties required of them. Under the favor-able conditions of picked coal and pickedfiremen, which attend speed trials, espe-cially wben premiums are offered, they allsurpsr id their guarantees, tho Indiana,with 0,738 horso power, making 10.047knots; the Massachusetts, with 10,403horso power, making 10.21 knots, and tlioOregon, with 11,111 horso power, makjng10.70 knots. Meanwhile a new armorclad,tbo Iowa, had been called for, and of her,with somewhat lighter armament, 10 knotswas required; and that also was beateneasily But since then wo have been build-ing the Kearsarge, Kentucky, Illinois, Ala-bama and Wisconsin, and for nil of themwo have exacted only 10 knots, while thosame rate was fixed In tbo original adver-tisement for the Maine, Missouri and Ohio.Very properly, therefore, an effort Is nowmaking to secure greater speed for this lastgroup.

It we turn to other navies we shall findmany big battleships which, with heavyarmor and heavy batteries, secure 17ia andIn soma Instances more thou 18 knots.England, for example, has nine, tbo Majcs-tlo- ,

Magnificent, Illustrious, Victorious,Mars, Jupiter, Princo George, Cesar andnannlbal, ot 14,000 tons ruth, mountingfour h and twelvo rapid-fir- e

guns In tho main battery, with at least12,000 horse power and making 17Ljknot. She bas ulsoaclastot 14,010-to-

battleships, including tbo lloyal Sover-elg-

lloyal Oak, llamlllle, Repulse, Reso-lution. Roieuge, Hood and Empress of In-dia, carrying four 13 ln?h and tenguns, with a maximum ot 18 Inches ofside armor and 17 inches ot gun pro-tection, and yet with 13,000 horso powerreaching 17a knots. She has buildingher 10,000-to- n Formidable, Implacable,and Irresistible, carrying four h

and twelve guns, to attain 10,000horse power and 18 knots. She has berBarfUur and Centurion of J 0,000 tons.With OTer 18,000 horsepower and I8g

knots. She bas her Canopus, Ocean, Ven-geance, Glory, and Goliath ot 12.000 tons,carrying four h and twelveguns, attaining 13,000 horse power and183. knots.

Turning to other foreign navies, we And17 and 18 knots required ot armored shipsot tho lino ot more than 10,000 tons, andhaving tbo heavy plating and batteries offirst-clas- s battleships. Thus, the Frenchturret ships Botivct and Brcnnus are cred-ited with 17a and 17.1 knots respectively,tbo.Cornot with 17.80, tho Charlemagneand Charles Marts! with 18, tbo Goulolsand J5na with 18, tbo JauregutborrTwith 10. Some ot theso ships mountfour h guns, with other pieces,nnd havo belts ot 17 Inches. TheStint-Lou- is Is still another French 18-kn-

turret ship. Ocrmanyhasthrcel8-knotbat-tlcshtps- ,

but they arrfnot equol to ours Inarmament and armor. Italy's well-know- n

Italia and Lepanto carry 10 Inches ofcompound armor at tho gun positions andfour 100-to- guns each, besides otherpieces, and mako 18 knots. Sho has alsoother fast ships ot the line, but theirarmor Is not so extensive or satisfactory asours. Russia's Poltava and Pctropavlovskcarry four h and twelve 0.0-inc- h

guns, with lGVInch belts, and moke 173knots. Tho Oslabya and Porowlet, nowbuilding, ore to mako 18 knots, but oreless heavily armed and armored.It Is clear that thoro Is a chanco tor as to Im-

prove in this matter of speed for flrst-cla-

battleships, and tho recent notification ottbo Navy Department will no doubt helpto mako that improvement in the Maine,Missouri and Ohio.

Pulitzer's Monument.Wo are glad to sco that the men of the

Sovcuty-flrs- t Regiment, whoso names ap-peared In tbo World as subscribers toPuHTZtn's proposed monument to the sol-diers who fell at Santiago, bavo repudiatedtho wholo affair. Their names were pro-cured by misrepresentation and fraud, aswo bad surmised, and tho manner ottheir cancellation bas been emphatic andappropriate. Tho members of the Seventy-firs- t

havo indeed causo to congratulatethemselves nt having seen, before it wastoo late, that to accept from PuLRunt amonument dedicated ostensibly to the regi-ment, but In fact devised to bury and hldoPulitzeh'b own Bbame, would have loftupon tho regiment a mark of lasting dls-grac-o

and would bavo planted tho Ideathat attacks upon mon of a spirit so pusil-lanimous probably contained an olemont ottruth.

Pulitzer's monument Is a failure. Noone will subscrlbo to itoxcept under stressot blackmail, and tho blackmailing bustness Is In a state of shocking decay, becausopeoplo aro no longer afraid of Pulit.znn. Even thoso unhappy people, politi-cians and businessmen, upon whom Pulit-zer bas had a shameful hold whereby theyhavo been led to do bis bidding from timeto tlmo and to lend tho monster their aidand countenance, even few of them orelonger to bo coerced or cajoled. They areemancipating themselves. They are shak-ing off that horrible hand with tho stainsof poor Slayback's blood forever blackupon It.

And the "endless chains" that Pulitzer'screatures have started I They" do not

Thoy break at their Initial links.Tho children cannot be caught. Thoy arenot to bo inveigled. Their fathers andmothers have called them within becausotho pollution ot Pulitzer Is In the air, andthoy must not bo contaminated.

Pulitzer thought to sell more papers byaccusing tho Seventy-firs- t Regiment ofshameful cowardlco in tho field beforoSantiago. Pulitzer Is Insane.

Naming Our Armies.During the civil war tbo troop called for

by tho Government of the United Stateswere organized Into armies to which dis-tinctive names were given. We had theArmy of tho Potomac, the Army of theCumberland, tho Army of the Tennessee,tho Army of the Ohio, tho Army of thoGulf, tho Army of the James, tho Army ofGeorgia, and dthcr armies.

Tlio Confederate, forces, in like manner,wcreorganUed as tho Army of NorthernVirginia, tbo Army of Tennessee, and soon;and upon both sides the mon camo to takeprido In belonging to these armies as such.Their causo and flag came first, but the dis-tinctive army brought out a feeling ofspecial comradeship that long outlived thowar, and. Indeed, lives to this day, aa thoannual meetings of the Society of the Armyof tbo Pptomac or tho Society of the Armyof tho Cumberland vlll bear witness.

This historic fact gives us a suggestionfor Tho forces operating underGen. Miles in Porto Rico nnd all that mayjoin him should be called the Army otPorto Rico. Thoso that aro around Manila,and all that may come under Gen. Msn-rj- tt

there, should bo tho Army of thePhilippines. Tboso that havo campaignedand are campaigning with Shafter shouldbe called the Army of Santiago. If Havanafalls without a struggle the Army of San-tiago may succeed to tbo title still held Inreserve, that of tho Army of Cuba.

It Is notable, though not surprising, thattho nowspapors which ore most anxious to tripup tho Administration of President McKihlctaro agreed In advlslns the restoration of thoPhilippines to Spain.

As an Amorlean eltlzon of Enullsh desoont, Iask pormisslon to attempt correction throughrour columnsot certain Impressions which havegone to Europo roesnling tho United Statesand tho threo officials upon whom dovolves thoduty of conducting tho war with Spain. OneImportant result of this conflict Is tho Increaseot cordial and friendly relations botweon GreatBritain and this country; but tho reportswhich havo gone abroad and which arebeing-- circulated by respootable nows-papors bavo not tondod tofoster and encourago friendship. Inas-much as they reflect upon tbo President, theWar Secretary and the General commandingthe forces in tbo Hold. Tho conquests at Ma-

nila and at Santiago do Cuba were not acci-dents, and thoy ought In a measure to disprovetho charges of inofflcloney. But tho specific-charge-

that Gen. Miles Is without militarytraining ought to bo mot squarely by tbospecific facts, whloh should havo tho widestcirculation. They aro Interesting, and thoymay proiro on Incentive to tho rising genera-tion.

At tho outbreak of tho civil war Nelson A.Miles was a clerk tn a counting house In Boston.At his own oxponso ho raised a company of 100mcn.iwhlch ho tendered to tho nation, with hisservices. But ho was only 22 years of ago, nnd.being deemed too young to command It. howent to tho front as Lieutenant; yet at tho endof thirteen months ho was aColonel, commanding a regiment In the field,and In about three years thereafter ho com-manded tho Second Corps In tho Army oftho rotomae. This was the largest nnd hardestWorked corps In that army, which formed abattle line around Richmond twenty-si- x mileslong, was always tho nearest to tho onomy, nndwas tho corps to which Oen. Lee sent his offerto surrender. And, furthormoro. Gen. Milesmanaged his command so successfully thatGen. Grant personally recommended the youngMajor-Gcner- to President Abraham Lincolntor his gallantry, ns Gen. Meade, who com-manded at Gettysburg, had already dono.

If history records the name of any othor Gen-eral who successfully managed 25.000 men onthe battlefield at tho early ago of 25 years I donot know that name.

It Is true, as ohargod, that Gon. Miles was noteducated nt West Point. It Is equally truo thatho had the advantage of a higher "militarytraining" than any military acadomy In thoworld could give. Bis school was on tho marchand In tho battlefield; In tho trench, tho campand tho fortification.

to me probable that In tho mora Immodlatofuture at least thoro will bo loss opposition toan Increaso of tho regular army. Nobody hasever doubted the quality ot tho United Statestroops, but tho signal valor displayed by officersand mon alike ot tho army in Cuba, tholr

bravery, and tho perfoot aplombwith whloh thoy met death must commendthem straight to tho heartot every Amorlean.

In tho civil war, tho regulars, fine as theyworo, wore yet practically swamped, so far asfilling tho publlo cyo Is concerned, among thegreat armlos of volunteers. Thon tho volun-teers were the men. nnd tho war lasted so longthat those oarllor In the Held became well sea-soned troops, veteran Boldlers of whom anynation might bp proud: nnd how thoy did walkup to tho bull ring I

Aa possession Is'sald to fa nine point of tho law,It would teem to be the proper thing, sine Amorieahas already a firm grip on these Islands, to tightenits grip.

Mr Bub 8m: Permit me to express the earnesthope that the Administration, of which yon ar soinfluential a member, will not permit diplomacy tofritter away the great advantage's won by Americanarms In the Philippines and elaewhere.

Gcneroalty to a fallen foo ia commendable, andliberality with resources acquired fay the whole peo-ple la ao easy, but no mistaken sens of magnanimityahould deprive ua of tho priceless opportunity forthe future that haa come to ua in tho wager of battle.

I confess to a deep sense of disappointment at theterms outlined In laat nlzht'a paper, and trait thattronger attitude will yet bo taken. Cub and Porto

Elcomust of course pass under our wings, but thoPhilippines with their vast commercial possibilitiesahould be also retained, even if we decide In afteryear to dispose of them to oar advantage, whenpresent tension will be removed.

It la morally wrong to permit the retention bySpain of a single on of her misgoverned dependen-cies, and oor preaent duty haa been clearly pointedout by the God of Battles. Your very faithfully,

The Ruinous Effect of Itowdylsm Every- - iHwliere. In

To ran Editor of Thb BVHHtr: Tno 11

Bun's editorial of Wednesday and Thursday 11

rclatlvo to baseball hoodlumlsm Bhould bo mcopied by oory newspaper In tho country. H

Many of our games horo In tho Eastern 'BLeague are interrupted by disgraceful wrangles flduring which, as a rulo, u majority It not all of Mtho players leao their positions In tho Hold nnd siabuse tho umpire. Ha ors upon tho bench also Mfrequently hurl oplthcts at tho umpire with lm- - Hpunlty and In utter disregard of tho rules H

which were quoted in our article of yesterday. flTho umpires employod are, us a rulo, luootn- - H

potent In their judgmont and cowardly in tholr M

decisions; consequently tho coarso, bulldozing ntyranny of tho playore is well nigh eupiomo. B

Your editorial lanco has penetrated to the Icore. Glvo It a still freer hand. Cut deep and nwide, for thoro aro still largo quantities nt con- - Htamlnatlng matter to bo romovod before tho 1wound can heal. n

Baseball from Maine to California Is surely tn .B .a bad way. Leagues hno boon abandoned,salaries cut, players released nnd tennis train1- - Mferred In tho efforts to nold u collapse. Nodoubt tho waroxcitement has had Bomothina-t-

do with this condition of nffalrHi but tho chiefcauso lies In tho disgraceful and disgustingrowdyism practiced by tho players from year toyear with increasing freedom until hundredsof poace-Iovin- g admirers ot tho gamoln oaxjcommunity havo becomo dlsgnstod nnd quit.

Umpires, as a rule, nro not mentally qualifiedto perform In a satisfactory manner tho dutiesrequired of thorn They nro not selected be-cause of their Intellectual superiority and goodlung capacity, but usually becauso of havingbeen at ono time a great pitcher, a star firesbaseman orphenomonal backstop.

Let Mr. ioung furnish umpires capable otboing "masters of tho Meld" nnd hold thorn toa rigid enforcement ot tho rules.

Sunday Amusement.To tus EcrTOB or Tue Eo ir: It Is not on

Intention to open an argument regarding th Sundayamusement question, but wo feel It our duty to eara few word in referenoo to a matter In which wothink the polics authorities draw the line ratherlooaely. For several season past a certain baseballteam has been playing Vn a plot of ground In Rldg-woo-

L. I., on Saturday and Sunday. Hundredof people witnessed these games, and it was no doubtth means of diverting; the thought of many ofthese peoplo from drifting in other channels ofamuaement not entirely free rrom Immorality. Thisteam of ball player continued to play th namesince th beginning of the preaent season unUl twoweek ago, when tho police ordered tho field clearedand irave orders that ft wonld no longer bo allowed. ' 'It la said that the minister of tho immediate vi-cinity are the prirao movers against these Sundaygames. Whether that Is the truth we know not, butwo do know that within a Btane' throw of these ballgrounds are a number of plcnio parks, all of whichare filled to overflowing every Sunday afternoon andlong after midnight, dancing, singing, and bandplaying. ,

Do the police stop these affair T They do not. The tpolice ay that paid admission to a Sunday ball .frame la a violaUon of the law. At th ball game

to above there waa no admission charged,hence there was no breach of the law, according to ltheir idea of law breaking. Hut at theso picnics youpay an admission. Doe the law which says tocharge admiaalon to a ball game on Sunday la unlaw-ful and must cease, not cover tho picnic, whero ad-mission is charged and danclntr,target shootlne, drinkinc music, chance lotteries,and other alluring attractions are carried on t Maybenot, but that seems a very one-aid- law. From onrpoint of view of tho affair we think the police haveatopjved the moat Innocent and healthful of the two.If. Zwebqex. Manager Volunteer A. 0 Brooklyn.
