Geveland . rit Pine tnnatt ‘| bare Just why Manager Irwin not don a uni- form and get on the coaching lines vesterday, | as Capt. Dan Richardson was forced to lay off | on account of an injury to his arm, was the cause of some wonder ai the ball grounds yes- terday afternoon. As it was the team was left | to shift for itself, and with no responsible head | or coaching worthy the name the team drifted down to defi Then it was also a cause for der why Knell was not taken from the box when it was seen how wild he was. ‘True he was not hit hard, but he sent eight to first on balls— really equal to eight base hits. Under the rules only two hits are scored against him. Five runs were scored by the visitors in the first two nings without a hit beii on balls and Kobinson’s fine large error caused the disaster. Robinson is the prize Irwin drew in exchange for Hardie Richardson, it will be remembered. ‘To his credit it may be «aid that he is practicing faithfully this year and in the morning plays a great game. He is said to “eat up” grounders and fatten on liners. He is said to have taken a big brace since last year. Of course every one is glad to know this, for he has been a great player in bis day, but it does seem to local bail cranks that “Robbie” should go to some minor league for his practice. The National League is a trifle fast for him. Kuell is a great pitcher, undoubtedly, but yesterday was not down on. his calendar.’ He showed this in the first inning. Mr. Irwin doubtless feared to hurt his feelings by taking him out. Of course, he would have had to put Killeen in, a6 @ south-paw is needed against the Spiders, Five runs in the first on balls and Robinson's muff of Milligan’s throw to wecond to catch a runner. Then the visitors earned two in the fifth, Virtue singling and scoring on Davis’ home run to center.

It proved to. be unfortunate, as it | was uncalled for. Davies had kept the hits seat- tered. Dowd rejoiced all hearts by driving a regular “lawn mower” out past third and three runs came in.

But Burket dropped the ball ‘Two runs came in and Don- ovan was plunking shadily homeward, the ball also traveling toward Zimmer. Now came the need of cool-headed coaching. Milligan was | on the conehing line, and, of course, was ex- cited. He was inclined to let Donovan try for the plate, but in a moment suw it could not be done. He then attempted to stop him. The | result'was that Donovan was thrown “off his stfide,”* tripped and fell and lost so mach time that he.was easily put out.

White suid that the question, the salary limit, had been considered, but as four clubs were absent no action had’ been taken on it. ‘That means that each club will maintain the same salary lixt that it had previous to the meeting. According to President White's salary list, recently made out, Providence, Rochester, Troy and Albany were all above the sulary limit. Mr. White would say nothing more for the press, but it is_ presumed that if clubs over the limit are allowed to. stay there others that are below can exceed it, and it probably means an abolishment of the salary limit altogether. HOWARD UNIVERSITY. Interesting Exercises That Took Place Yes- terday Afternoon and Evening. ‘The graduating exercises of the senior class of Howard University was held last evening in the chapel. The graduates were Wm. H.T. Brooks of Alexandria, Va.; Frederick D. Morris of Staunton, Va., and De Witt C. Potts of Sardis, Miss. The honorary degree of LL. D, was con- ferred upon Michael E.

The address was delivered by Postmaster General Wanamaker, who said among other things: “It is a good thing for « man to select a hero, set it before him and work along similar lines pursued by his hero. Now, if I could choose my hero I think I would select Daniel.

He was a strong opponent of the knownothing party and was twice elected to the house of delegates of Mary- land. While serving his second term in that body he attended the extra session at Frederick in 1861, and was one of the peace commissioners appointed by that body to go south and consult with the authorities of the southern confed- eracy. Failing to accomplish anything in that line he remained in Virginia and was afterward appointed quartermaster and commissary to the yd line, which position he held until the fthe war.

To the Pattor of The Evening Star T fully agree with your view regarding assess- ments as expressed in a recent issue. We have not yet formulated the ideal plan that is to do substantial justice to all und yet be in harmony with the American principle. Probably no plan that cau be devised will suit everybody, but a plan can be arranged that will eliminate the irregularities of the present system und yet not be so radical as to involve a revolution. We need not be governed by the practice of other cities, but let us exercise that genius so mani- fest in the American character to originate methods by which difficulties may be overcome and ‘apparently insurmountable obstacles “be removed. Let the genius of the country be set to work and I'll warrant you that a plan will be found that will satisfy every reasonable expecta tion and confirm the opinion that the American mind is equal to any emergency. I would suggest that in lieu of the amend- ment offered by the congressional committee lately investigating the subject that a tax com- mission, to consist of three members, be created to assume charge of the whole matter and that said commission be empowered to offer two graded prizes for the best and most equable method of “municipal taxation,” one on the eficial, now in and be canine the first Monday in Decem! revelve as In the ‘asveaament be continued to completion as a basis in formulating the tables each plan as called for by ‘commissioners to ? i i p-m, to ly pm. to 7:15 p.m., August 6, 5:40 pan, to 7:10 pan.; August 13, 5:30 p.m. to'7 p.m.; August 20, 5:20 p.m. to 6:50 p.m; Angust 27, 5:10 p.m. to 6:40 p.m.; September 8, 5 p.m. to 6:80 p.m.; September 10, 43 p-m.; September 17, 4:40 p.m. ptember 24, 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m.; p.m. to 6 p.m. pinata cae Fell From # Gang Plank and Was Drowned.

Dexter, Clark, Maltby, Crane, Shulteis, Walport and Steiner, who willreport at a sub- sequent meeting a plan to be proposed to the labor organizations for securing representation in Congress. The meeting last night was called mainly for the purpose of hearing an address from Con- gressman John Davis of Kansas upon the pur- Bowes of labor organization. He was intro- luced by Mr. L. P. Wild, who presided. CONGRESSMAN DAVIS’ ADDRESS. “It is asked why labor organizes,” began Mr. Davis, “and in answer I will say, bocause the other fellows organize. If they don't, we won't. They say that they have a right to orgunize, but object to our organizing. Just such logi ‘as that cansed one memorable defeat in thi country—Braddock’s defeat. “If we had no grievances, if we were not in some way oppressed, not a man would be here tonight. Thomas Jefferson once said that ‘men never right their wrongs as long as the wrongs are sufferable.’ That is Just our case. We are now about to right our wrongs. We are organizing ourselves, but there are two ways of organizing. Do we organize ourselves or let others organize us? Heretofore the other fellows have organized us for their own uses, Iam reminded of a case in point in na- ture. Down in South America there is a race of donkeys that‘are preyed upon by panthers. Toavoid destruction the donkeys graze in herds, and when the evening approaches they forma circle, heads together, and with their business ends toward the enemy. ‘That's just the way we should do. Put onr heads together and direct our forces of resistance to those who woald prey upon us “Why should we not hold secret meetings? There is nota meeting of any corporation or aggregation of business men that does not hold the right to close its doors against strangers for business purposes. ‘That's allwe do. We sim- ply keep out the enerny. CORPORATIONS THE POOR MAN'S ENEMY.” Mr. Davis referred to corporations as the great enemy of the poor man. A corporation dozen men, but it has no heart or soul. A cor- poration is by law a person who can ste and be sued. Virtually, then, it is one man with the strength of a dozen and with no heart or soul. Russia. Col. Murphy writes: Shall labor fight this monster single handed? It would indeed be an unequal struggle; therefore labor must organize. he rates and fares that we pay on railroads in this country are fixed by a director in Lon- don. The agents of corporations in this coun- try don't dare to have any soul. What does it matter that some little town in Kaneas is suffer- ing from the rules of @ railroad? ‘The London director doesn’t care and his agent doesn’t dare to remedy the evil. When labor organizes it ought to talk system- atically, and the first thing it should talk about is money: money is the blood of civ tion, without which there can be no civilization. Adecrease of money means a languishing of civilization. Money is a tremendous wur power—there are two war powers, the sword and the puree. Let two countries fight with these weapons and money will win, THE MONEY POWER, Mr. Davis described the money power of the world as originating in the East India Company, chartered in 1600 to rob the natives of Indin. The company robbed the orient, has been rob- bing for $00 years and investing’ ite spoils, and today as a result there are locked up in London vaults nearly two hundred billions of wealth — not gold and silver alqne, but monetary obliga- tions on the whole world. Thia is the moncy power that controls the world. It caused the var between France and Germany, it ravished pt and is now sucking the life blood from America. It sent 500,000 to Washington and secured the demonetizution of silver. An En- glishman owns 93,000 acres of land in the rich- est portion of Illinois, from which he draws to London #200,000 annually. ‘That is but one in- stance, which is duplicated in every western state. ‘Mr. Davis made a vigorous attack on the national bank system which allows a man to get money from the government for 1 per cent and loans it out for from 6 to 36 per cent. The people pay 18 cents a year on every #1 bank note that circulates and the bank gets it. ‘Thomas Jefferson vaid that the national bank- ing institution is mure dangerous to liberty than a standing army. NECESSITY OF SUFFRAGE HERE. Mr. Davis advocated the necessity of suffrage in the District and representation in Congress. This gave opportunity for the introduction of Mr. Henry W. Dexter, who read an address favoring suffrage. Atits close Mr. Wild asked for volunteers to make up a central committe ‘There were none and it was necessary to a point the five men named above to compose t committee. Even in the slimly attended meeting of last night a strong division of sentiment was shown on this subject. ge FALLS CHURCH NOTES. A Brilliant Morning Wedding Yesterday— Burglaries.

The people of Washington who manifested such @ substantial interest in the fitting out of the stanch steamship which bore Iow: cargo of corn to the people of Russia will feel a continued interest in following np the course of the contribution to its destination. Cable dispatches of Saturday last from Dr. L. B. Hub- bell gave notice of the arrival of the Tynehead in goodcondition.

Miss Barton, speaking today to a Stan re- id that additional satisfaction was in regard to the good judgment whi has marked the sending of Iowa's cargo. It is found in fullest measure in the letter of Col. Murphy, the agent of the government under Secretary Rusk, who had heard that the steam- ship Tynehead had sailed from New York with a cargo of a hundred and twenty thousand bushels of corn, It had been said that unground corn would be comparatively useless, and that flour or meal would meet the emergency better owing to lack of milling facilities in southern “hope that the Iowa cargo, cot ’ steamship Tynchead, is in the grain, as they have plenty of local wind mills where the corn can be freshly ground, which will contain all the oil or fat matter, which is just what these poor emaciated and famished creatures will need. If the corn was ent as meal no doubt it would be degerminated, and this process would eliminate the germ that contains the oil. If it were sent over for consumption in the or- dinary way it would be proper to have it de- germinated, or else it would not keep for any length of time, as this oil matter causes it to become rancid, particularly in the warm weather, which may be expected soon.” pane diastas asi No Case for Divorce Made Out.
