DANVILLE, Ind., Oct. 16. Congressman Cocper has finished the canvass of this county, and his reception was not the most flattering. His audiences ranged from twenty at one meeting to five hundred at Danville, but the great disappointment to him and -the managers was in the lack of old-time Democrats at the meeting. Democrats who In other years would not miss a meeting for anything were conspicuous by their absence.

William Barnle, ex-manager of the Louisville club, who has been prominently mentioned as one of the prime movers in the organization of the new baseball association, Is full of the scheme: "It Is a mistaken idea," ha said. "that I have anything to do with the form ing of the new league. I am simply look ing for an engagement, and am willing to take off my coat and hustle for my t-mploy-ers. no matter who they are. If the managers of the new organization pay me sal ary satisfactory I would as soon work for them as anybody, but I have no money , to put Into the thing. The League magnates don't want to hold the scheme too lightly. however, for I feel sure that the new league will be formed. It has been delayed by the premature publication of Its affairs, but a meeting will probably be held in a few days and the thing started In good shape. When the meeting will be held," said Mr. Barnle, "I cannot say." It is learned from other sources that the meeting will probably be held In Philadelphia Wednesday. Ramie blames Manager Comlskey, of the Cincinnati club, for disclosing the scheme, and charges him with breach of faith in doing so. He says that Comiskey was approached by a certain man Interested in the new venture, who proposed that Comlskey should take the management of a club rep resenting the new association in St. Louis. "Comiskey," said Barnle, "Jumped at the offer, saying, 'yes, I can "do" that Dutch man easy in his own town,' meaning Von der Ahe. The man left Comlskey with the understanding that he was in the scheme heart and soul and would be one of its strongest supporters. Comiskey changed his mind, however, and to retain the man agement of the Cincinnati club another year gave the whole snap away to Brush. The latter sent out a circular to his fellowmagnates of the. National League imme diately, so the whole thing was disclosed. "The League 'officials laugh at the idea. and make all manner of fun of the new scheme," said Barme, "but so did Presi dent Hulbert slur the American Associa tion when that was formed In 18S1, but that soon made itself a power in baseball. and so might this. That several of the magnates in this vicinity did have some fear of the new organizat.on is snown by the fact that they have induced Al John son, who started the idea of a new league. and a Boston newspaper man to drop out of it." At a secret meeting of the Eastern League, held in this city, the representatives from Buffalo and Providence, who were said to have longings to be in the new league, were made to show their hands, and both said they would stick to the lSastern League president.

ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., WILSOX AND THE TIMES. What the Lending: British Paper Had to Say About the Profensor. London Times Editorial, Sept. 29. A cordial welcome was extended on Thursday evening by the members of the London Chamber of Commerce to Mr. W. L. Wilson, the author of the original meas ure for the revision of the United state tariff, which was unhappily transformed by the Senate into a bill only a degree le3S protectionist than that bearing the name of Mr. McKinley. Air. v llson deserves all honor for making a stout, though a not very successful, fight on behalf of a sys tem which would have bocn at least an ap roach to the recognition of the principle that freedom of trade Is more favorable to the development of a great commercial and Industrial community than protection. It is not Mr. Wilson's fault that the measure which has actually become law is, to s the language of President Cleveland s let ter after its passage through the Senate, "not in line with honest tarirf reform." There is much that is Instructive as well as Interesting in Mr. Wilson's speech at the dinner given to him by the Chamber of Commerce, all the more because a good deal of it appears to have been intended tor American readere as well as Rritisn auditors, Mr. Wilson was naturally anxious not to say anything which might tend to Jeopar dize the prospects of his party. "We have," says Mr. Wilson. "Just fought and Just won the first battle in that con flict." It 13 to be feared that Mr. Wilson's praiseworthy zeal makes him somewhat forgetful of the warning that he that girdeth on his harness should not boast himself as he that putteth it off. The vic tory over the protectionists has been in complete, and its results. Inadequate as they are, can by no means be regarded as placed beyond doubt. It was certainly far from what earnest tariff reformers, not to speak of convinced free-traders, confidently expected when Mr. Cleveland was raised to the presidency, and when the Mc Kinley taritt was thought to be doomed. The victory which consisted in the sub stitution for the Wilson bill of a measure denounced by President Cleveland as "an inconsistent absurdity" and a violation of all sound tariff principles is expected to go forward from this time forth by Its own Impetus." We wish, we could feel sure or this, for we are convinced that freedom of trade is good f or all the world, and we are not at an alarmed by Mr. Wilson's highly colored picture of the future supremacy of the United States in industrial production and in external commerce. But we confess that the cause of tariff reform in the United States seems to us so far from being certain to go forward bv its own impetus, as to stand In need of all the efforts of those who believe in it. and. perhaps even more, of clearer views on their part of what they mean. The greater part of Mr. Wilson's speech was a logical ana teinng argument in. favor of free trade pure and simple, and an exposure of the mischiefs of protection fft any shape or form. It is not easy to apply his reasoning to the principle of a "tariff for revenue only" so limited In practice as to secure the freedom from duty of raw materials and to protect favored industries asrainst foreign competition. We do not expect to see any decisive overthrow of protection until it rs confronted by a real free-trade policy. A BACKSET TO GOOD ROADS. Trolley Lines Slionld Keep Hands Off Improved Rurnl IIlgrliYrnys. Harper's Weekly. For several years past there has been a zealous agitation in favor of the improvement of country roads. As pointed out from time to time In this paper, this aglta tlon, this movement, is now resulting In a practical betterment of the highways in many localities, and a general discussion of ways and means to such ends in almost every enlightened neighborhood in the country. But the road Improvers and the makers of road laws need to be on their guard, for It has been demonstrated time and again in the near neighborhood of large cities that so soon as country roads in populous neighborhoods or between prosperous villages have been graded and paved the builders of trolley railroads pounce upon them and divert them almost completely from the purpose for which they were intended. The extension of trolley lines into the country should be encouraged in all proper ways, but the public authorities, the lawmakers and the people should insist that the.se trolleys should be located In proper places. Such proper places are not upon paved roadbeds, nor yet on the spaces between the pavements and the ditches. The pavement of a macadamized roadway is meant to drive on; it is injured very seriously by having a horsecar track on it; for driving purposes it is ruined by having a trolley track upon it ruined as completely as though an ordinary railroad track were placed over the pavement. On the Road to Dallas. New York Tribune. ' They were talking about Texas. "Oh, yes, I have been down there," said the traveler, "and I remember It very well. I ought to remember it. I was invited to 'git into' a little game of poker, and when I got up from the table I hadn't a dollar in my pockets, not a cent." "Of course." said some one who was a believer in hospitality, "they entertained you and then gave you a ticket to your home." "Oh, no." answered the traveler, thoughtfully. "The man who owned the house in which we were playing left the room when I announced that I was broke. Presently he returned with a lantern and beckoned ma to follow him. I stepped out of the room, going carefully so as not to disturb the players. My host led me out the front door to the road. Placing the lantern In my hand, he pointed into the blackness of the night. " 'Here is a lantern he said, 'and this Is the road to Dallas.' "Dallas, my friends, was 160 miles away." Service Harrlnon Is Doing. New York Press.

108 WALL ST., NEW-YORK.

oeeau off the coast of Africa where the wonderful French warrior, statesman and ruler was held in captivity for six year by England, and where he died a prisoner on the th day of May. 1S21 The way in which the souvenir willow branchei were obtained from Napoleon's ocean-bound prison is a most interesting story, bringing into strong relief a sample of the enduring love given the Emperor by his soldiers. Among the handful of his old and faithful followers who were permitted, under great and oppressive restrictions, to accompany him and share his exile was Sergeant Hubert, one of the grenadiers of the Imperltl Guard, who wore the decoration of the Eglon of lienor. After Napoleon's death the soldier assigned himself the mission of guarding the tomb of his old commander. When Commodore Bainbrldge visited St. Helena he found Sergeant Huoert on guard at the tomb of the French Emperor, and begged for one of the branches that drooped, sadiv over the grave of the mighty dead. This was given him, and was caretully preserved until his ship arrived at the Brooklyn navy yard, when he divided tha branch Into a number of ptrts and planted them on a little island forn.lng the extreme eastern end of the yard, and which is known to-day as the ordnance dock. The silos nourished and grew into beautiful and stately trees. Seventy years have passed since that time, and the old willows, although thick With foliage and honest enough looking on the outride, are heart eaten and hollow, and will soon be no more. SAME GIRLS. A Sympathetic Traveler Mnkes an Accidental Discovery. Buffalo Express. A man had occasion to go to the Union Depot yesterday afternoon to meet his wife. When he had got to the station he found his train was half an hour late, and he bought a paper and sat down. Not long after he had seated himself a rather pretty girl, who wore a pink waist and had nice, red cheeks and clear blue eyes, and who looked to be not over seventeen, came and sat down next to him. The man who was waiting for his wife took a casual look at the girl and we.it back to his paper. Pretty soon another pretty young girl, who also wore a pink waist and had blue eyes, and a fresh complexion, and all that sort of thing, came along and stopped in front of the first girl. The second pretty girl looked as If she wanted to cry- ha bald with tremulous voice: "Why, Nettie, what do you think? The fare's a dollar." "A what?" gasped Nettle. "A dollar; and she told us it was only SO cents; and 1 haven't got enough to get the tickets; and oh, dear, 1 don't know what we will do." She sank down beside Nettie and the two locked ajt the tiled floor with very solemn faces. Presently Nettie looked up and said: "I'll have a walk around the room. Perhaps there is somebody here I know." She made the tour of the room and earns back with her face gloomier than before. "Nobody here I ever ww before," the said, brokenly. The other girl sprang to her feet. 'Tin going to tell the ticket man Just how it is," she said. "Perhaps he will tako what we've got and let us send him the rest." She came back with tears in fcer eyes. "He won't," she said sadly. The man who was waiting for his wife heard all of this. His heart was touched. So he leaned over and said: "I beg pardon; but ladies, 1 that Is will you ailow me to help you in your hour of trouble?" The pretty young ladies started and looked at the man with frightened airs. The intentions were honorable, and, after many protests, and arranging for reps.y ment and exchange of names and all that, he gave the pretty girls JL15, and they thanked him prettily and went to get thir train. , . tl so happened that the man's wile did not come on that train, and he went down to another train in the evening. While he was sitting on a bench waiting for the tr:dn he got to thinking of his afternoon experience and concluded he had done a richt worthy act. As he was in the midst of th.s train, of thought a pretty girl in a pink waist sit down beside him. Pretty soon another gtrl, looking woebegone, came along and said: "Why, Nettie, what shall we do? The fare is a dollar." The man who was waiting for his wife got up and walked slowly to the door. He had seen a great light. They were the same girls. llnrrylnir Ships to Urusll.
