The Massachusetts Uepubllcans
.Iiv dissatisfied with the Dingley
tariff law The recent state platform
declares:
“We contend for adoption by the
•text national Republican convention
of a resolution calling the congress
to meet in special session to deter
mine upon amendments to the pres
ent tariff laws, or the enactment of a
new measure to meet changed condi
tions, to remove duties needless eith
er for revenue or protection, and
make such modifications as experi
ence may have shown to be neces
sary.”
This is rather indefinite, but dem
onstrates the dissatisfaction that has
arisen from the Dinglev law even
Irom the Republican cainp. It ap
pears that many Republicans are
convinced that the present tariff law’
!> iniquitous in the extreme.
Colon.-i Henry Watterson. tho
veteran alitor or the Louisville
Courier-Journal, views with alarm
Uu* radical change of party lines. In
a recent interview. Col. Wntterson
Raid:
I'he old parties are dead. Roose
v* lt has destroyed what was left or
the Republican party."
Hr.van would have changed our
currency In IS96; Roosevelt’s re
election will change the state. "If
is to be kept in the white house,
by all means let it be for life. Make
him king! Do more than that_
make him em|)eror!"
Political alignment has radically
changed within the last four years.
Roosevelt has disclaimed much that
hi- party has stood for. He hu
adopted many of Mr. Bryan’s poll
( ies. and much that is Democratic,
notably the railway rate legislation,
w hich has been a cardinal principle
ot Mr. Bryan s platform. Roosevelt’*
candidate has also declared himself
in favor of an income tax, which was
passed under Cleveland’s last admin
istration but declared unconstitu
teii.a! by the I nlted States supreme
court.
It is Well to view with alarm the
sentiment toward Roosevelt’s re
• lection, as the veteran editor well
Revs, he will Mexicanize the state.”
T:iis would mean a death blow to
local and self-government. He has
even declared that in case the con
stitution was not broad enough fo»
federal authority it should be mark
SO by construction by the court of
last resort, the members of which
arc appointed by the president.
Did ever a president before inti
mate how our court of last report
should construe the constitution?
Nrc they not impartial judges, whose
Judgment u supposed to be above

"A friendly native had volunteered to
Bhow me ’round a bit,* and he led me
tlrsf to the nightly camping ground
of the village gossips, the veranda of
the Lantz House.
'“There’s a crowd fer ye!’ whis

WOULD ENLARGE BATTER'S
BOX TO IMPROVE HITTING
MANAGER M’ALEER, OF 8T. LOUI9
AMERICAN8, IN FAVOR OF '
ADDING THREE FEET.
While Fielder Jones, lender of the
■ champion White Sox, has been carry
, lag on his campaign against the spit
i Imll It reuiulns for Manager Jimmy Me
| Aleer, of the 8t. Louis Americans, to
suggest a practical remedy for not
only this, but to Increase the butting
as well. It Is nothing more nor less than ,
Increasing the length of the batters' i
box and giving the batters more room
In which to maneuver.
At present the hatters' box is six
feet long and four feet wide, hulf of it i
being In front of the plate and half he- j
hind. Me A leer thinks that an exten
sion of two or three feet on the front
I end of the box would help the butter
along a lot, without in any way Inter- |
fering with the present arrangement
j of the game. This would give the bat
I ter u chance to run on the ball and 1
I lilt either a spit ball, curve, or breuk
before the latter had a chance to devl
r '
ate from a straight line. Under the
present rules If a batter hits a ball
while out of the batters’ box he Is
called out.
Most of the batters now stand close
into the plate, or on a line with the
center of It, In order to Judge whether
i \ ball is over or not. This gives them
| *nly the part of the box in front of the
| plate In which to move, or less than '
ihree feet. Even a good, long stride
will take a batter over the front line
of the box. The after three feet of
i he box are useless ground for most
bathers.
With even two feet more added to
the front of the box batter could get
i running start at the ball and hit it
before there was a chance for a break
