OCTOBER 29, 1889, A PAIR OF DIAMOND SHARPS Bpaldiog fand Selee Seduce Cooney and Nagle from Omaha. WE HAVE NO MANAGER NOW. MleCormick Controls the Omaha Stock but What the Future May Bring Forth No Man May Tell fs 1t & Combine? That there is a secrev movement golag on #n 1encue circles, of which the minor bodies wre totally in the dark, there is mnot tho slightest doubt, It begins to look to a careful observer that the magnates of the loading baso ball associationsof the country are quietly entrenching themselves against any inroads upon their former old playors that may be made by the brotherhood, and are signing as many of tho’ best players of tho minor bodies as they possibly can without @xposing thelr plans to the public. It be- Sgms to 100k as If tho national agreement was ml, imsomuch a8 the resorvation of pl +by the minor associations are concern the welfare of the great national game is in imminent peril. ‘The writer was shown a letter from Jimmy Coouey, Omaha's clever all-round player, in which that gentleman positively states that Do will not play in Omatn next season; that he and Tom Nagle have botn sigued with Chicago. All repurts to the contrary, this 18 a fact, President McCormick was soen and ap- prised of the information conveyed in Cooney’s letter and his explanation, in effect, ‘Was this: On the 20th %of September Frank Sclee vired McCormick asking him his lowest terms for Cooney and Nugle, McCormick wired back, $1,000 for Cooney and $2,000 for Naglo.” Nothiog further was heard about the mat- ter untila few days ago, when President McCormick received a telogram from A. ( Spalding, president of the Chicagos, notify- ang him' that he, Spalding, had ' signed Cooney and Nagle' for Chicago for 1860, and that the price for their rolease, $3,000, would be deposited with Nick Young, president of the National League, subject to a draft by the Omaha management as soon as the deal bad been comploted with the players, “Tirough this source it was subsequently developed that Selce, on the re- coipt of McCormick's” telegram, had given Spaulding an option of 3,000 on Cooney aud Nagle for thirty days, and that Spalding had finally signed the players, paid tnem advance moncy, and closed the compact 8o far as they were con- cerned, McCormick, of course was ‘‘red-headod” to use a little effective slang, and wired Spalding that he would not release either Coonoy or Nagle; that Selco had exceeded his authority ; that he no right to give ‘an option, sell or reloase a single player be- Honging t0 Omaha until he haa a thorough understanding with the ors of the club, He also state d ‘written Selee, two wecks ago, that all prices on Omaha players were off, and thut nego- tiations for auy of them should cease. Further, the telegravh yesterany morning confirmed the report that Selee nas signed to manage the Bostons uext year, and this should be a pertinent pointer to the baso ball people here, as he certainly Las not acted in the best faith with Omaha, On leaving th city, Seiee promised President McCorm: o keep him posted of all iris movements, pa ticuiarly in regard to his negotiations for players, and about his conclusion upon the subject of the Boston management, According to Cooney’s letto; been on #'tour of the Omaha p and has seen them all, ‘Whiat possible business can Selee have with thiese men at this season of the year! He is interested in them no longer, as ~ his engage- ament with Boston severs his oficial relation with Omaha, Cooney went with Selee to Springfield, Mass,, to interview Cauavan, but did not @ivulge the nature of their business. ~ It may be that the players of the minor Podies are to be gobbled up body and soul by the league, irrespective of all rights vested in these associations by virtue of the national agreement. President McCormick dis- .| credits this, bowever. He argues that the National league can not affora to throw away the annual payment to them of §25,000 by the minor bodies for the privi ege of enjoying their protection aud the restoration of their players. But this is where McCormick is off. All questions to be sottled, judged or arbitrated upon must be left to the committee on arbitration, made up of the potentates of the National league and American association, with Nick Young a8 chief justice, o this board must go the cases of Coonoy and Nagle. Will Omaba bo allowed to vetain her men after a price has been placed upon their heads by the president of snid club to the manager! Not much, Cooney and Nagle have played their last ball in Omana; that will do to gamble on. Mr. McCormick has succeeded in buying up a controlling interest in the Omaha base ball association, aud the next best thing for him to do 15 to engage a good managor, a man Lompetent to meet and cope with the wolves ‘of tho league upon their own ground and at their own game if necessary.

Each stage and condition represents man's nature, which climate, civilization and christias can but little control, We are taught that it 18 not only human but rignt for power to clutch everything it can hold, and wealth to absorb the earnings of the toilers, by all schemes that ingenuity can devise, and the basest betrayal enforce: while the masses have always been taught that it is the part of wisdom to bear the ills we have, rather than seek to repress injustice or redress wrongs. In some form oppresaton and injustice, re- sistanco and_tebellion, are the principal chapters in_the world’s history, and that history continually repeats itself. ~Many of this generation well remember the domina- tion of slavery, its gradual growth, complete control of the social, religious, inanciul and political elements; its cruel and brutal con- tempt of those who would not bow the knee and recognize its divine origin_and right to rule. Its power, though held by a minority: in numbers, was in no_danger untl it domi- nated every brauch of the government and every avenue thereto, I'his genoration has alen Seen that corporate power and organ- ized wealth in trusts and syndicates is on a nar with slavery: that by its insidious growth all branches of the government nave been absorbed, and when courts couid not be controlled, they have been defied. Like slavery, not content with all that com- plete suprémacy usurps, it becomes over- bearingly insoleut and issiles the decree that the nation shall not only be submissive, but positively and humbly acknowledge' its right of supremacy—no more murmurs or complaints as to financial thefts and politi- cal robberics. In your own expression you have wit- nessed one and another degradation and spoliation, until the state is prostrate, help- less, held 'in the_slimey clutches of many devil fishes. Certaiu organs of your corpo ate masters make pretense of great weari- ness becuuse of continual = complaints and msist that they musi ce So slave drunken with power, wade the sume gentle demand, and sought violently to repress the groanings of the siave and the argument of the defenders of liberly. The protest against wrong and humble prayer for relief, the last solace of oppresse ity, has not alway been de- nied even by despois. The Israclites en- joyed that slight solace in the time of the onhs with about as much effect on the skkmasters as does your repining upon your taskmasters. So did the workmen in" the yard in Christ's parablo in the days of the Cwesars, They received respectful at- tention, while you are sometimes invited to be damned. This gathering to-day is because of discon- tent. Seo toit that it becowes more than a meaningless protest, Throughout thoe re- public labor is organized in varions unions and farmers iu wheels und alliances. Why! Uecause of burdens and extortions imposed. T'hus you allege to-day. Are you quite sure of iti” Do you believe 1ti I ask this question, for you sometimes act as if youdid not. "It may be you had not borne the cross long enough to rebel, or have borne 1t 50 long that chafing has become a second nature, and, therefore, not only endurable but enjoyable. And do you really think you need protection from corporations! You Kknow western roads have been built prinei- vaily by the bounty of the government, states, cities, counties and precincts, and even then the road is stocked and bonded for three times ita actial cost, and charges must be upheld on the people to pay large interest and_dividends on this watered stock and bonds. Do you carnestly think you need protec- tion from trusts, which have introduced the tactics of corporations” in the ordinury busi- ness of life. as the sugar trust, with & liberal assessment of §12,500,000 as the value of the refiueries entering the practical compact, and av once issuing certificates for §50,000,000 —four times more than the actual cost—and then arbitravily incrensing the price of sugar 3 cents per pound, taking 30,000,000 annually from the pockets of the cousumer! And in this manner all the trusts have been formed. Now while larger and more dungeroLs corporations are proposed by corporaticns, und more trusts to embrace the necessities of life, even British capital, without re- straint or hindrance, invading our shores and with notas much right and more arro- gance than King George, when he only asked a penny a pound tax on tea—British capital, aidod by American capital, aids to manacle the people, scheming to take the last dollar that canbe wrung from them without rebellion.
