Omaha 7, Davenport 1. Quite & good crowd witnessed a very dull and uninteresting game at the ball park yes- terday afternoon between the Omahas and the Davenports. g ‘While the Babies fielded very prettily, they couldn’t hit a little bit, and Omaha won a8 she pleased. Ted Kennedy pitehed for the locals, and pitched magnificently at that, the visitors only sccuring a single safo drive oft of him, Which was a high ball, chopped down to Klopt Thibe eighth inning. ‘Hoover, of the Chicagos, caught for Dav- enport. The Chicagos, who are en route for Kansas City, occupied seats in the grand stand, and owing to a sudden illness of Dav- enport's catcher, Hoover consented 1o back- stop for them. Dick Dwyer, of last occupied first base for the vs- stors and played a perfect game. No one saw first on either side in the flist funing, but in the socond, amidst & funeral silence, Omata_went in’ and pounded out four runs. O'Connell started the music by a corking single to left, went to second on & passed ball, to third on Coorey’s out, and home on 'Cebeau’s liner to right. McGarr then followed with one of his clear rifle Bhots, and Tebeau went to second, Then he neatly purloined third, and crossed the plate agle's hit over Iisher's head. *‘Chip- y,” who never loses @ chance, scored on his hit, and Fatty Nagle made second on the throw in to catch him. Kennedy flew out to Moyer, and Nagle scored on Burns' pretty single to left. Aunis' out ended the sport. While this was all going on the audicnce sat as if they were in a trance. They seemed $0 think that Omala was Lo win as & matter of covrse, and it was too hot to yell or make © fuss. In the fourth Patsey Oliverlead off with a @wo sacker to right, galloped down to third on Chippey’s out, and_crossed the plate on Nagle's second sate bit. Kennedy and Burns closed the innings. After Cooney had flied out In the fourth Patsey Oliver whanged the ball out toward the carriage gate for three cushions, and after McGarr's out he scored on Doran’s wild tirow of Nagle's hit. Fatly reached third on Kennedy's safe whack, and scored on Burn's 1iy to left. “That was Omaha's last tally. 1t looked like a clean shut out for the Babies, but in the eighth McCullom got to HBrst on an error of P. O.'s, He was forced 10 second by Dwyer being it with the ball, and scored on Klopf's scrateh hit.

A small crowd went down to sympathize with Shem although in the slough of despond. Only three men were in their proper posi- gions.

Both Sage und Trafey are laid up with strained ankles, and Stearns with a opiked leg. Alvord has a sore right hand and should not be compelled to play, while with Quinn’s sale the team is without a competent second baseman.

At the critical moment the Sioux City second and third base- men muffed balls, both thrown from the Bome plate to cut off base stealers, and then y's fine two-base hit brought them in. after the third iuning the visitors could fuake no headway, the effective pitching of Beibel and magnificent flelding of the home b were the features of the game.

GREAT INTERESTS AT STAKE. Workingmen Must Choose Between the American System of Protecs tion and the British Idea of Frce Trade. Labor's Friends and Foes, WasnixaToN, August £0.—Scnator Quay, chairman of the republi national eom- mittee, furnishes the wing letter for publication PHILADELPITIA, August 27, 1888 —Hon, Matthew 8. Quay, chairman of the national republican committee, Everett House, New York.—Deg : My connection with the labor movement for the past fourteen years has made it necessary for me to be a close student of the causes of labor depression and the needs of those who teil. While, as a body, labor organizatien may refrain from active participations in_politics, so much of what organized labor demauds must be ob- tained through legislation that each indi- vidual member of a labor organization must act politically as in it judgment will best aid the aims and objeets expressed in the principles of the organization he represents, and whose suc- cess he desires. In the gigantio political struggle now begun, side issues count as nothing except Lo aid or hinder ono of the principal combatants in the political arena. However sincere may be the advocates of the measures to secure which these separate po- 1 organizations are formed, and what- ever strength in votes may be shown at the polls, the fact remains that the candidate of either the republican or democratic party will be the mext president of the United States. Therefore, to him who has the good of this country and the welfare of her people at heart, thé necessity exists to choose to which of these two oid party orgauizations shall be given aid, either directly or indi- rectly, by voice or vote. While it may be that neither party offers all that labor or- anizations desire. 1 believe that the repub- v, in adopting and advocating the tem of encouragement and pro- tection to the labor and wages of our own land, is nearer the declarations and desires of organized labor than its free trade oppo- nent, the democratic party. The conflict is between the American sy , a8 represenied by the republican party, which would foster and encourage the labor of ourown people and retain for them the market and wages of our own country, and the British system, as represented by the democratic party, which would break down the barriersof protection and throw open our home market to the production of foreign factories and foreign labor, thus making idle our own toilers and reducing to a lower level the standard of American wages, When the Knights of Labor and kindred organizations shall have obtained in foreign lands the same commanding position and influence enjoyed in the United States this inequality in wages will disappear, not by leveling our wages down, but by leveling their wages up. 1t is far better to level up than to level down, as the larger the income the larger the power to consume. Until this equalization can be ac- complished, and until the wages of labor abrond shall equal those at home, there must be a proper restriction of immi- gration, so that our land may not be the dumping ground of the pauper and degraded labor of the balance of the world. This restriction, supplemented by a continuation of the thorough and systematic organization of labor already here,in conjunction with the Amcrican idea of protection to American nnot fail to secure for our people the 1ts of their toil, and by our example ibor of the whole world to & higher and better plane of existence, Whichever party wins, something must be done to regulate more strictly this importa- tion of foreign labor under contract and the immigration of paupers and dependents. 1f nothing should be dome, then democratic suceess would mean not only free trade in the goods made by pauper labor, but the im- portation of both labor and goods. While under free trade goods may be cheaper to the consumer in certain lines, the labor made idle in these lines must turn to other meas of emplofmunt.. and thus by competition compel a lower rate of wages to those al- ready employed therein. The power of the workingman to consume depends upon what he receives for his labor. Uncmployed, his power to comsume, except on charity or theft, ceasos. I prefer that America should be a land of workers rather than a land of thieves and paupers. What is true of the individual is equally true of thelwation. The primary elementsof national wealth and na- tional prosperity are production, distribu- tion and consumption. Whatever affects the power of labor to consume affects the entire interests of the nation. Whatever lowers the wages of labor affects its power to con- sume. An “average reduction” of 7 per- centum on the cost of goods imported will not compensate American labor for the loss of 100 percentum in wages in the lines af- fected, and of from 1 to 5 percentum in wages in the lines of employment by the snbstitu- tion of free trade for the protective system. 1 hold it to be far wiser statesmanship to build up and retain our home market by a system that protects American labor than to command a market in foveign lands sccured by the wholesalo degradation or pauperiza- tion of our own people. Every dollar's worth of labor value imported is by so much a reduction of the home laborer's wages. This axiom is not offset by the declaration that there are more goods in an imported dol- lar's worth. The position of the protection- ist is rather strengthened by such a specious presentation of the matter, because the question 1s then instantly forced upon every intelligent man, how can the American la- borer carn doilars if the industry in which he is experienced is transferred to foreign lands? The theory of protection advocated by the ropublican party is the saume as the underly- ing principle upon which labor orgauizations are founded. A frieud to organized labor, who believes in organization as a means to enhance and maintain wages, cannot consist- ently oppose party that supplies to all lab the same principle of protection from unfair competition that individual trade organiza- tions give to a single trade. Trade organiza- tions 5o aid in advancing wages in their re- spective trades, and the protective system de- manded by the republican party will secure for wll toilers in the land & similar fostering cave. That this is clearly understood by most of the thinking leaders of orgunized labor is proved by the declar- ation recently made in favor of the American system and a home market by the presiding ofiicer of the organ- ization representing the iron and glass in- dustries of the United States. There is no botter organization of any one trade than the mated Association of Iron and Steel “Ihere 18 no trade more thoroughly orgunized or better disciplined thah that of the window glass workers, nor one in which higher wages are pnid. The warning of the officers representing those trades against free trade are very significant, and seould be lceded. A careful consideration of all these facts convinces me that the present 18 a grave crisis in the political affairs of our country, and that I have no right to remain silent. My position as general secretury of the Kuights of Labor has given me intimate knowiedge of the various phases.of the labor question, and from the knowledge thus gained 1 do not hesitate to say that triwmph ~ of the democratic p donnnated by intolerance in the south and the British free trade sentim north, would be the most blow to organized labor it could p coive. I cannot remain inactive in such a conflict.

Crow Crefx Acexey, Dak, berlain) Aungust 30.—|Special Telegraph to Tuk Bre.]—Fhete is now every prospect that when the'eommissioners are ready totako signatuaes, there will be a break in favor of it. Many yofing'and intelligent fellows are declaring openly that they will not be pre- vented from signing by threats or bulldozing. They say the bill is us good us they could got and-4hat if thity reject this one the nextone will be much worse and they realize that the Sioux bill offers them greater school priv- ileges than has ever before been offered to any Indian navion, and they are satisfied with it. At a council last nighta number of speeches were made for and against the bill by the Indians, those who objected being by very nature opposed to any advancement. They arc a class opposed to anything that would in any way or respect raise them from their present indolent and shiftless customs. It 18 noticeable that those who object are men over forty years of age, although not all over that age object by any means, The younger element, however, is about unanimous in favor of it. Bul they are tuking a still hunt. They ha id but little in their own coun- cils in favor of the bill, but they do their work quietly and will be heard in no uncer- tain terms when the proper time comes. Last night several of the younger fellows delivercd speeches in their own council that greatly increased the number of those favor- ably disposed, This morning, after the council opened, Major Anderson made an impressive speech to the Indians. He explained that those who are now working against the ratification of the Sioux bill are doing so for an_evil pur- pose. They were working for their ends re- gardless of the welfare of the great masses of the Indians, and should not be listened to for a minute. He mentioned names and spoke in decided terms, and made a marked impression on the ifndians. He said that what was for the benefit of the Indians was what they should consider, and this bill was all that anyone could ask for. It provided for them better by far than any other bill has ever done, and and an opportunity for improving their condition such as this af- forded should not be ignored. Judge Wright then made an eloquent nlwl‘h calling upon the Indians to listen to the voice of the great father. He askea them who had furnished them with clothes for the past twenty years, who had built them houses, furnished them rations with horses, with harness, with schools and every- thing they need. Was it the men who were now urging them to turn their faces from the Sioux bill, or was it the president? He said that sinco the ratification of the present treaty the government had_spent $30,000,000 upon'the Sioux nation, and asked them 1f this wus an evidence of friendship or of en- mity. They should consider fully the cost if :Iu» refused to take advautage of this new reaty. "Tho Tndians, who are all encamped around the ageney, make things hereat present wear o business-like air.

The Fastest Fou ed Time —1t Was aSuccess. Savt Lake City, Utah, August 80.—[Spe- cial Telegram 1o Tur Brr.|—Between six and seven thousand people attended the re- gatta at Lake phik to-day. The contestants were all in splendid condition and the Salv Lakers were atixious that their prophecies about this befng the fastest water in the waorld should be verified. In this hope the were not disappointed, for in the senior four- oared race the Medocs of St. Louis broke the record, making the mile and a half in 8 min- utes, 36 seconds. ‘Clie water was at times rough. Tn the first and second races there was a qunrt(‘nn? wind and hence the time made was nothing to boast of. During the last race the wind shifted, thus enabling the crews to make better time, The first. event was double sculls. The clubs represented in this race were the Delawares and Farraguts of Chicago, the Modocs of St. Louis, the Sylvans of Molino and the O-wash-ta-nongs of Grand Rapids. The course in all the races was one and a half miles with a turn. ‘In this contest the Delawares had the best of it almost from the start. They have never been defeated and they pulled with that con- fidence born of repeated successes. They finished winner in 10:17%{. The Modocs of St. Louis, crossed the ime second n 10:18, the Farraguts third in 10:30, the O-wash-ta: nongs fourth in 13:03, and the Sylvans last In the single scull race the entries were J, K.

The Modocs, Farraguts and Sytvans turned the three-quarter-mile buoy at about the same time in 4:45. Coming back the Modocs increased their stroke to forty-six and the Sylvans gave them a close race. The Modocs, however, crossed the line winners in the remarkable time of 8:36, followed by the Sylvans in 8: The Farraguts and O-wash-ta-nongs finished outside the course. s S BITTER AGAINST BENEDICT. Minority Report on the Government Printing Office Investigation. WAsHINGTON, August 30.—Representative Gullinger has completed his minority report upon the result of the investigation of the printing committee into the administration of the government printing ofiice. The re- port is long and bitterly critical of Public Printer Benedict and the majority of the committee. It charges that the wmajority suppressed important evidence which would rebut the charge that the late Public Printer Rounds had privately sold govern- ment_vresses) at ridiculously low prices, It alleges that Benedicl discharyed union_soldiers and filled their places with confederates; that the work of the office is largely in arrears; that he improperly had access to the record of the evidence as it s taken by ther committee; that he prac- ticed rank favoritism in the awarding of con- tracts: that he i$ pot a pract printer, and that he has by false figures and statenents imposed upon dofgress and the country. The report_defends ,Rounds' administration as honorable and ponscientious and able, and in conclusion declures that enongh violations of the law and evidgnee of incompetency have been shown by the testimony to warrant the immediate rengyal frow office of F.

SUITS BY DAVENPORT SHIPPERS. The Most Important Proceedings Yet Begun Under the New Raitroad Law—Commissioners File Opinions. Davenport Shippers Sue the Roads. Des Moixes, Ia, August 30.—[Special Telegram to Tuz Bee.]—The most important proceeding yet begun under the general pro- visions of the new railroad law were com- menced to-day by a large number of the job- bers, manufacturers and business men of Davenport against the Iowa roads on which they do business, The suits are commenced before the state railroad commissioners under section 18 of the eeneral railroad law, which provides that on complaint of any firm, person or class of persons that the rates charged by any company are too high, the commissioners shall give all parties a hearing and fix & rate to be thereafter charged. This is the most important provision of the law, and it allows the rates made on the samo lines in this or other states to be taken in evidence. These suits are understood to be the practical result of the great conference of shippers recently held at Davenport, and they are regarded as extremely important. The hearing is set for next Thursday. The petitioners ask for the commissioners to fix a day for a hearing, and after such hearing fix aschedule of maximum rates in place of those now in force. This is a new move and a short cut to avert Judge Brewer's and Judge Fairall's injunctions, and is regarded as a_great victory for the shippers if their case is sustained by the commissioners, The Railroad Lommlnsl()m-rn Des MoINES, Ia., August 80.—The railroad commissioners have filed opinions against the viaduct asked for at Cedar Rapids, and directing the maintenance of an open station for might trains at Williams’ station, on the Illinois Central road; also reaffirming their formal decision to compel a connecting ‘Y’ at the crossing of the Chicago & North- western and Illinois Central at Sutherland.

ToroxTo, August 30.—Five thousand per- sons assembled at Hagersville, Ont., yester- day to listen to political addresses from Sir Hector Langevin, minister of public works, and Sir John Thompson, minister of justice. The speeches of both ministers are pregnant with significance, being the first public ut- terances of ministers of the government since President Cleveland’s retahatory threats. Sir Hector Langeviu sketched the histery of the fisheries dispute, showing that the United States fell back on the treaty of their own accord, and that Canada was main- taining her just rights. Sir John Thompson, during his speech, said that the citizens of Canada were in no mood to submit to the dictation of any foreign power. The liberal press in Toronto and Montreal were very plain_in their statements. He admitted that the president of the United States was a great statesman; that he was at the head of great nation, and that the words ho ut- tered were of great respousibility. The policy of this country should bo of great prudence, and of a desire to conciliate rather than to irritate, to be friendly with rather than unfriendly with any power in the world. But this was also a great country. All of the citizens did not labor at developing resources. Many ns looked to the trackless sea for their living, and when the rights of their fishermen were imposed upon it was their duty-to uphold their rights and the honor of their country. ~All that was held up asa reason for non-intercourse was Canada’s re- fusal to permit American fishermen to send cases of fish in bond over Canadian railways to the United States. Tne United States chose themsclves to go back to the treaty of 1818, and its provisions are being enforced. There was nothing un- friendly in that. That their conduct in seiz- g American vessels was not harsh, was borne out by the support of the British govern- ment_on the inquiry into every case. The president’s message is an_interruption that puts a fatal mark across the pagoe of uure- stricted reciprocity, and leads the people of Ontario to believe that after all, with all the cries of ruinous national policy, the policy of development of this country, of making it & united country from the Atlantic to the P: cHiic, a policy which enubles Canada to say: “We can live without American railwoy and steamship lines; we can live in comparative comfort even if the United States will not deal with us or trade with us at ail’—all this is a much better policy than to owe its d tinies to people who are ready to sacrifi them to their own political iuterests, e nagers n..nm-mv.«l of Ir. . —The Irmpnmd agroe- v ern lines were to be em- braced in the reorganization of the Western nger associution was formulated for nothing.

ONLY ONE POINT OF DIFFERENCE. Republicans Anticipate Very Little Opposition to the Substitute From Their Side of the House. The Fisheries Matter., WasnINeT0N, August 80.—The committoe on foreign affairs to-day received a report from the sub-committee in regard to the re- tabation bill.

At only one point was there anything like a differcnee between the democratic and res publican members.
