THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: TUESDAY, JANUARY 7, 1902. _—_————— oo - WHITEIELD DRFIES HICKEY Wevtlare! Wetern Leagre Imna Hi Omsha Preclamation. BOUNDP® HAVE TEAM IN THIS CITY Reyrks or No Rourke, Western Will Play Ball Here and Fight Amer fcan to Fare-You-Well fog Location. President, James Whitfleld of the Western Base Ball leaguo came to Omaha early yee- torday morning and flung to the breeze his banner of deflance to the American assocla- ton, \ “I am suffering no apprehension s to the welfare of our league,” sald Mr. Whitfleld. “We will certainly start the season at the sound of the gong, and I think we'll have enough money of our own to carry it through. If we haven't, I know where we can get plenty more. “We are not looking for any fight, but we elaim t territory and will have it. We are perfoctly willing to go against Mr. Hickey and his cohorts, and before it is all ovor he may find that we have taken a few teams out of his castern territory. 1 have plenty of applications from such cities as Indianapolis. “I have talked with Mr, Rourke today and I think that he will stand by the West- ern league. However, it makes no differ- ence whether he does or not. If he sells out to the other people, we will simply &0 right ahead and put in a team here, anyway, securing new grounds. Confidence in Rourke, “It 18 & fact that on last Friday Mr. Hickey offered Rourke $5,000 for his plant. Rourke did not accept it and he would be teolish to do s0. Why, I'll give him $5,000 for the place myselt today and make him manager of the Wegtera league team here on a salary. 1 know lota of people who would like to have those lolding at that! price. “As a matter of fact, Rourke has the whole thing his way here, if he only knew it, and he had better stick. He has the plant, he has both trapchises and he has & §00d Mst of players. Even if he does sell out to Hickey he cannot transter the play- ers, and we will hang onto them. Neither can he disposewf that Western league fran- chise without our consent . “Hickoy will have a might hard time coming In this town fu two even it ho buys Rourke's place, and if he don't that will mmke three. First, this franchise matter cannot be dodged so easily. Rourke holds the Americun lengue franchise for Omaha, signed by those men. He has noti- fled them that he will take the matter to the courts If they try to glve some other party the franchise. They wik have to re- sort to litigation before they can do dny- thing. Bincklist tor Playe ‘Then in, the matter of players Hickey's whole association of clubs is up againet it. Despite the bluster to the contrary, all these minor league players aro reserved and cannot summarily go out of their com- pany and sign elsewhere without taking the risk of almost certain blacklisting. “I carry the proof for that right with me.” sald Mr. Whitfleld, bringing to light @ clreular from Secretary J. H. Farrell of the National Assoclation of Minor leagues The clrcular-was of date of January 2 last and was stated to be for the purpose of setting at rest the minds of Western League magnates on this matter of their reserved men slgning away elsewhere. It quoted mection 3, article 27 of the national agreement of minor leagues, stating that players held under reserve by the clubs of thoso leagues would be disqualified 1t they transferred outside the league without the written consent of the president of the club, or else without paylng a certaln sum for release, ranging from 3300 to $1,000, according to the class their club stood in. “That circular means trouble for Mr. Woman’s Work in Club and Charity Representation at the biennial conven- tion of the General Federation of Women's Clubs, to be held in Los Angeles May 1-6 inclusive, was the chlef comcern of the Woman's club at its meeting yesterday aft- ernoom. The club this year is entitled to #ix delogates, one of which must be its president, and six alternates, the election of whom has not yet occurred. There has been considerable informal discussion con- cerning this election, tha women recogniz- ing the value of a full voting represemta- tion deeiring that only women who would be sure to go be elected. When Mrs, Til den presented the matter to the meeting the question naturally arose concerning what provision the club would make for the expenses of the delegates. As a differ- ent arrangement has been made for each of the other blennlals, there was no prece- dent to follow, but in the general discussion the women seemed to be generally of the opinfon that the club eollld not afford to pay the expenses of the delegates this year. It was finally decided that the matter be taken up as the firat business at the next meeting and that the election of the dele- gates follow it As chairman of the philanthroplc commit- tee, Mrs. H. 8. Jaynes reported that, in the Judgment of the committee, the location of the Auxiliary club in the First ward was t00 far east to accomplish all that might be done, there and that it was thought ad- visable to find quarters a few blocks further west. The work of the sewing classes {a progressing and the women feel much encouraged regarding it. Mrs. C. C. Belden reported to the club the action of Its committee appointed some time ago to formulate a McKinley memo- rial. The work has been completed, the expression having been printed on parch- ment, on the outside of which the club's monogram fs done in gold leaf. This has been sent to Mrs. McKinley. In expression of its regret at the recent death of Mrs. Jane Cunningham Crowley, “Jennle June,” the acknowledged inaugu- rator of the Women's club work, the club rose. . As March 17 is the day for the regular business session of the club, no regular program has been prepared, and it was de- clded that Mre. Stoutenborough of Platts- mouth be asked to give before the club the paper on “Mother Influence” that she has given before several state federation meetings. The president aeked that all sired amendments to the constitution or by-laws be presented as soon as possible, that they might have the consideration of the constitutional committee, amendments to the constitution requiring four weeks' notice and to the by-laws two weeks' no- tice. The membership committes announc fourteen new members qualified since the last meeoting. The afternoon's Program was then pre sented, it being in charge of the depart- ment of ethics and philosophy, Two voeal numbers, & spring song and a lullaby by Miss Sorenson, were enthusiastically re celved. The study of John Fiske having constituted an important part of the de- partment's work of the year, his work fur- nished the toplo for the afternoon’s proe gram, A review of his “The Idea of God" being presented by Dr. Millan. Mrs. A K. Gault gave a review of “Through Na- ture to God" and Mrs. Andrews of “The Destiny of Man.” A barp solo by Mre. E telle Blake brought out applause for sev- eral encores, the last of which was “Home, Sweet Home.” A #o0lo by Mies Sorenson concluded the program The regular meeting of the Woman's Chrietian Temperancé union will be held at 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon in the parlors of the Young Women's Christian assoclation Rabbi Simon will adiress the English literature department of the Woman's club at 10:10 ¢'clock on Thursday morning on “The Life unc Work of Samuel Johnson The Nebraska Ceramic club met yester- day afternoon at the studio of Mrs, Mor- till.

Bandle is in Earnest. “I would have been glad to have pur- chased the Rourke plant,” sald Mr. Bandle last night, “for the sole reason that It would bave ended all friction. Still, I am not greatly dlsappolnted, because for the same money 1 would have paid for the im- provements at the Vinton Street park I can equip a new park that will be just as ac- cessible and will be much more desirable because 1 can put in better accommoda- tions. “For $5,000 the grolnds can be graded and fenced, grandstand and bleachers and club quarters provided, and the whole fin- tshed in modern style. I will put in a stand where my patrons will be comfortable and will glve Omaba the best ball that has been had here since the days of Danny Shhn- non's Lambs. I am not at all alarmed about not getting players. We will have all tho men we want when tho season opens.” “I do not want to accuse either of the Rourkes of taking advantage of our offer to dicker with other people,” sald Mr. Hickey, “but it looks to me like they asked their Western league associates to make good on their offer of support. 1 know that the Rourkes have been promised by Mesars Van Drunt and Burns that they will be held free from loss during the coming sea- son it they will stick to the Western leaguo in Omaba.

APPLIES PRINCIPLE TO DEMOCRACY or Comatitutional Govern- ment Administered According to Jeftersonian Maxim, WOOSTER, 0., Jan. 6.-—Hon. Willlam J. Bryan spoke here today at the Jackson day banquet, which was held this evening at his suggestion in order that he might keep engagements at New Haven and Bos- ton later In the week. His subject was “‘Steadfastness” and he sald in part: Among the traits of character which di tinguished Andrew Jackson no tralt was more prominent or more ptul to his country than his steadfastness. When he belleved a thing, ho belleved it. Where duty led, he followed without questioning. When he decided that anything ought to be done, he did it, and no po could overawe him. He did not have In his veins a single drop of “anything to win'' blood When Nicholas Biddle = declured that and unmake congresscs Jackson replied that that was more power than any one man ought to have in this country, and he then began his war against Biddlo and his bank, which résulted in the overthrow of that ' great financler and the institution which he so autocratically controlied. Others were afraid that Blddle's influence, if antagonized, would defeat the democratic party, but Jackson saw in it a menace to his country and he did not stop to consider what effect an attack on the bank would have on himself or on his party. He won and we revere his name and célebrate his day. Benton, in reviewing Jackson's work, sald that, as Cicero overthrew the con: aplracy of Catline and saved Rome, so Jackson overthrew the bank and saved America. We shall observe this day in vain if we do not gather from the lifo of hero of New Orleans thg leason of stead- fastness; it needs to learn from him not only that to be right {s more Important than to be sucoessful, but that to be right is the best way to Inture success ke Party Principles Inviolate, A party must have principles or it can have no claim upon puplic confidence, and how can It commend its principles better talth in the creed of a party if the party stands ready to barter away Its creed in exchange for the promise of patronage? A halting, vacillating course not only fails to invite recruits, but it allenates and drives away veterans. Another reagon for steadfastness Is found in the fact that no one can tell until the attempt Is made what obstacles courage can overcome, The bold and_fearless {ri- umph where the timid fafl. The victorles which live and light us on to noble deeds are the victorles snatched from the jaws of defeat by Intrepid #pirits who preférred death to retreat. There I8 a profound philosophy as well as o religlous truth in the words: *He that saveth his life shall lose it." The party that has no higher purpose than to save its own life will die because It de- serves to die, If need be, for the sake of a great cause, which will live because it deserves to live. Who says that the money power Is om- nipotent and that the democratic party ompromise with it or surrender to atil_human nature s entirely changed can the financlers be intrusted with ‘the guardianship of the producers of wealth; not untll greed becomes just can the money changers construct a ystem for themselves which will be falr to any- one else. A top can be balanced upon the point only when it s in rapid motion, and #0 the great financial structure designed by Wall street for the benefit of Wall street will stand upright only so long as it can be kept whirling: the collapse will come when the speed 1s slackened. Who says that we cannot afford to meas- ure strength with the great monopolls which now arrogantly assume to control the domaln of politics as well as the field | of Industry? Not until we can gather good frult from an evil tree and figs from - les ean we expect a private monopoly bring forth public blessings, Th that has been poured Into the stos our great corporations has for the most part been drawn from the agricullural Teglons, and the drouth. that 1o stre o tollow will teach the farmer the meaning of the trust system Conatitutional Government, Must we abandon the self-evident truth that governments derive their just powers from ‘the consent of the governed? Must we accept Imperfallsm as an accomplished fact and join in the shout for blood and conquest?” Our republic rests upon solid fock and while its principles are reversed, it cannot be overthrown from within of from without, but if all parties joined to- gether to erect an empire upon American #oll they would bufld upon the sand and the edifice could not endure. It fs a law divine in ita origin, irresistable in its force and eternal In’ita duration, that wrong doing ultimately destroys the wrongdoer and no nation or combination of nations 18 strong enough to evade or reslst retribu- tive justice. But pose—what no one should assume and what no one can prove—that steadfast adherence to democratic principles would result in repeated defeaf, is there any reason why we should abandon those principles and adopt’ others, or have none at all? Those who prefer prison fare or B sorvile subject's 10t to the dAngers of the battlefield, may condemn the Boers for continuing what some demcribe as a hopeless struggle for independenco, but those who can measure the mighty fn- fQluence of great deeds know that the sturdy Dutchmen of South Africa have already conferred upon the world a benefit (hat cannot be measured by money., Their yalor has brought greatr securlty (o al) the republizs of the earth; the bodies of their dead have buflt a bulwark behind which the friends of Itberty will fight for Centuries. The fact that England hae been compelled to employ more than 200,000 soldlers to subjugate less than 2,00 men in arme—the fact that England has ex- pended more than $1,00 per Hoer and has neither been able to purchase them nor kil “them-—these facts are immeasurahly valuable to people everywhere who want free government for themseclves and. are ntent that others should enjoy ft ilso. 80 the democratic party, whether In power or out of power, I8 erving mankind when it stands steadfastly for constitu- tlonal government and insists that that wovernmont shall be adnitnistered according to Jeffersc im, “Equal rights to to none.'" ng Permits, The city bullding inspector has lssued the following permits: H.
