I would not be surprised to see the Washington and Baltimore clnbs amalgamated, and if that is done the games would be likely to be divided up between the two cities." Decker to Manage FitUburg's Club. It has been decided that Guy Hecker shall manage the Pittsbnrg League club this season. He will be formally elected at a meeting 01 the directors to-morrow. Hecker started to play ball professionally in 1882. when he left the Oil City club and wont to Louisville at a salary of f 15 per month. He soon ranked among the best pitchers aud hitters, and to-day he is an excellent ail-round man. He managed tho Louisville club some time, and tho only time that club cleared money was under his management. He is a first-class judge of young ball-players, and a few yean aco wrote a book on "The Art of Pitching." He is also a gentleman, and respected by all ball-players. International Association. Buffalo, Jan. 23. The International Base-ball Association has been in session here to-day. There were, among others present. President M. B. Mills and R. IL Leadley, of Detroit; T. S. Hobbs, of Loudon, and A. Powell, of Hamilton. N. M. Brown appeared in behalf of the admission of Bay City and Saginaw, urging they bo taken in as one place. After the meeting, which was secret, it was learned that the proposition had been favorably received and tho membership committee had practically decided to admit them. Montreal asked to come in and, doubtless, will bo ad mitted, thus making four American and four Canadian teams. The date for put ting up the $1,000 guarantee fund was changed from March 1 to Feb. 10. Tho meeting adjourned until March 1H, at Toronto. Albany and Troy will probably bo brought in. Muncie Defeats Indianapolis at Folo. Cpeclst to the Iudlanauolis Journal. Muncie, Ind.. Jan. 23. The opening game of polo was played in this city to-night betveen a crack team from Indianapolis composed of the following well-known players: C. Shain, Red Wilson, H. Orum, F. Watson and Chas. Stewart. The Mun cie players were Beeson, Kirk, Buchanan, W olf and Widemeyer. I he game was nlaved under New England State League rules, the most goals in forty minutes playing tune, which resulted iu 10 to 0 in favor of Muncie, with one goal off for fouls. The Muncie players won because of phenomenal team work. Kirk. Beeson aud Buchanan's rdavinc was of such order as to completely demoralize the Indianapolis boys, who worked hard to avoid a shut-out, Wilson aud Sham doing hue work at times, but they made little work for Muncie's goaltender. Stewart made tine stops for Indianapolis. The same teams will play to morrow night. I he rink was crowded. The League Meeting. Washington. Jan. 23.

A special from Kansas city says Nellie Bly left there at 7:45 to night on the Santa Fe road and will arrive in Chicago at 9:30 to-morrow morning. TIIlS SPLIT IN THE W. C. T. U. Spoiled by Success the Original Organization Deviated from Its First Course. 'Washington Capital. One of the phenomena of the century was the rapid rise and growth of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. Like Jonah's gourd it sprang into luxuriant foliage m a single night, as it were, a thing of majesty and of beauty. Its irrowth was watched earnest U and carefully by men of all shades - v T 1 - 1 , or opinion, una 010 10 vote, inuecu, wero its members, but they possessed en thusiasm, generous devotiou to what they esteemed principle, trained brain power, and a self-sacrificing dis cipline that overcame almost without efiort difiiculties that might well have deterred tho slower and less enthusiastic masculine intellect. Ihe growth of the organization, however, was too rapid. It was abnormal. And pucccnj begot uot only over-confidence, but recklessness. Con scious of having done a prodigious work on the lines of the distinctively moral, the organization fancied it had nothing to do but to go on triumphing. To come, see aud conquer became emblazoned on its banners. It plunged into politics. It formed a third party. It adopted "woman suffrage" s a principle underlying even temperance and Christianity.. It became insolent, unjust and tyrannical. It assumed it had the monopoly of the virtue and the wisdom of the country. To differ with it was to be classed as a fool and a fiend. And so the inevitable result came. The Women's ChristiauTemperance Union is split in two. As an evidence of the disruption it is estimated that the national convention of the non-partisan W. C. T. U., which meets in Cleveland on the 23d of this month, will represent over one-third of the membership of the original organization, aud a much larger percentage of its brains and skill. Every Northern State, possibly every Southern one, will ho represented in tho convention, and before the summer opens it will very probably be numerically stronger than the parent organization. As the Philadelphia Press well observes, the new organization will have a strong popular sentiment in its favor from the start. A great majority of the people in vthis country believe in temperance reform and in restricting the evils of the liquor traffic to the smallest possible minimum, 'lhey believe also that this can be better accomplished by non-partisan action than by dragging the subject into the arena of politics. The events of the last few years havo shown plainly the drift of popular sentiment on th subject. While temperance people, feared that the Republican party was not dealing sincerely with this anestiou the Prohibition party increased, but os soon as this suspicion was dispelled by the pas-age of stringent highlicense and local-option laws the growth of the third party ceased. The people lost faith in it nnd its leaders. While the people of the country, that is to say tho practical, non-fanatic people, condemned the methods which the W. C. T. U. employed to etlect its fundamental object, thero it no question that

I lie dissemina tion of 'temperance ideas, the cultivation of the deep, ahidiug. and etieetive temE ranco" sentiment and "temperance'' abit. is an object that all cood men earnestly favor and will work zealously to attain. The . C. T. U. hail a golden op portunity to enlist almost universal cooperation to this end. It missed it. It f ailed to realize the lofty mission it had entered npon. Ambition, prejudice and folly not to say imbecilityentered its councils and directed its operations. With a reckless folly, born of unreasoning vanity and fed by momentary success, it attacked savage ly. remorselessly and cruelly whatever was venerable or sacred in the past, whatever was aumiraiuo or sensioie mine present, wbatever there was hooeiul and encourag ing in the future, if trese things were not squarely up to the foolish aud malignant partisanship of the organization. Growing like Jonah's gonrd iu n singlo night till its branches overshadowed th country, it has wilted like that gourd in tbe lierco neat ot the noonday sun, and its members now sit beneath tbe limp and drooping foliage, ex ecrating, like tbe prophet, tho fate that has tumbled their glory into ruin. Yet. after all. tbe fate that lias befallen the W. C. T. U when rightly considered. may be looked upon as its salvation. The great aud admirablo reform it advocated will go on with more certain steps to final attainment. Men cannot be driven to morality. Tho scourge, the rack and tho rope never made a single sincere convert. All moral reforms, to bo ell'ective aud per manent, must be addressed to the conscience and the understanding, and ran at begn from within. Haying lost their material power, the devoted and Christian ladies constituting both wings of the W. C. T. U. will reform their methods of opera tion, and thus, with less noise and parade, but with more real effectiveness, will advance more swiftly to the realization of their object than heretofore they have been able to do. THE PROPOSED NEGRO BANISHMENT. Reasons Why Southern Whites Deserve to 11a Ordered Out If Any Citizens Are to Go. Philadelphia Telegraph. These Southern leaders do not recognize the audacity, as well as injustice aud exteme discredit to themselves, of this proposition to virtually banish from the land of their nativity the black people in America. These people did not bring themselves here. They aro as much American citizens as the men who propose practically to drive them out. They would be as much strangers in western Africans theirformerslave-drivers who now propose to send them there would be. Very many of these people let tho infamous fact be well remembered carry in their veins much of tho boasted best blood of the proud South-land. This is not only the land of tbeir nativity, hut the home of their ancestors, as well, for generations past. Who has a right to order them outf What have they done that they should be ordered out? What crimes have they committed against the Nation, its laws, its tiag or its welfare that they should be compelled to fight their way for existence in a far-otf land! What a monstrous proposition it is after all! Keverso the ase. Suppose the government of tho United States should determine to settlo this troublesome race question in the South by banishing all tho white people living there who refuse to recognize all tho rights of the colored peoplcT What a terrific roar of indignation there would be! What a virtuous howl of fierce protest! What solemn declarations of patriotic lovo and loyalty would come forth from every Southern leader and ever Southern newspaper! And yet let it be remembered that . it was only a little while ago when Senators Hampton, Butler and Morgan, and those agreeing with them in urging this un-American colonization scheme, including the editors of these Southern newspapers, like the Charleston Courier, that so urgently indorse it, were engaged in a most desperate conspirary against the life of the Union, against the peace, prosperity and wellare ot the whole American Nation. Who ought to go, if justice should prevail? The poor negro of the South, who, while faithful to the tremendous trust reposed in him by his absent master lighting against tho ting of his country, watched with sleepless vigilance at the door of the women and children helplessly left behind, but u bo was ever Joyal in his heart to the Union, or the men who were thus seeking hot only to destroy tho Union, but to bind auew the chains of human bondage? Of course, tho Southern leaders loudly declare that they do not propose to force this. colonization scheme upon the black people, to "relieve tho congested districts as they most suggestively put it. They profess only a desire that it shall bj left as a "voluntary movement," with the opportunity of transportation, etc., otlercd; but the whole world knows how the schemo would be carried ont if once undertaken. The neijroea would not bo 6eized in tho night and carried oft in chains, but they would be driven out by almost equally merciless processes ot abuse, intimidation, and starvation, lly all odds this latest attempt of the South to "settle the race question'1 is the most infamously ungrateful, unpatriotic and unjust that has yet been proposed. The very thought of it ought to blister with shame, the adamantine cheeks of the men who can have tho assurance to stand up before the people of the United States and advocate it. If they can settle the race question in no other way than this, let thm take themselves off to any other country on the face of the globe, aud not stand on the order of their going, either, but goat once, and a glorious riddance it will be for the American Union, for humanity, and forci vilization.
