THE Dotroits .are making a strong fight with Chicago for first place. THIS has been a season of surprises so far. Not a prediction has been verified. THE Southern clubs are now playing good ball and all are pretty evenly matched. BENNETT to caught in twenty-five out of twenty-seven games played by Detroit. THE Kansas Gitys are known as the stormy petrels of the league. They seem to carry bad weather in their wake, iris not an unreasonableiguess to.say-.tbat about 50,000 persons'paid to see the various games on the professional grounds in or near Sew York on Decoration Day. THREE of the heaviest batters in the League are first Basemen, two are pitchers, one a catcher, one a third baseman, another a short stop and tho others outfielders. MANNING, of Detroit, had played without an error in-twenty-one games previous to an accident in New STbrk widen will incapaci- tate him from playing for some time. IT is singular that of the first dozen leading batsmen of the Association no less than six are pitchers. Of the remaining six four are outfielders, one an infieldei and one a catcher.

Arrests for Conspiracy in Connec- tion With a Case of Boycott. Two important arrests have been made at New Haven, Conn., on warrants sworn out by the Journal and Courier publishers. Tho parties are J. Frederick Bushe, editor of. the Workman's Advocate, a labor paper published in New Haven, and Thomas Mulcahey, President of Typo- graphical tTniin No. 47, of that city. Walk- ing Delegate Benjamin F. Glidden had been notified by a friend that a warrant was out for him, so he came to Police Headquarters and gave himself up Each gave secu- rity in $300 for his appearance. One of Pinkerton's detectives has been in the city getting up evidence against them. The arrest grew out of the boycotting of the Journal and Courier, and the outcome is watched with interest. Warrante?are said to bemade out for many other Knights of Labor on the same charge. _ -_ • • | Text: \He that earneth wages earneth wages to put it in a bag with hole3.\ Hag- gai, i.,5: In Persia, during the reign of Darius Hystaspes, thepebple did not prosper. They made money but they could hot keep it. They were like a man who has a sack which he puts money into, hb.tknbwing that the saok has been torn or worm-eaten, or is in some way incapacitated to hold valuables. As he puts the coin in one end of the sack it drops out of the other. They earned wages but they lost them, or,.as theprophetputsit: \He that earneth wages earneth wages, to put it in a bag with holes.\ What has become of the billions and billions of dol- lars paid as wages to the working classes of this country? Many of the moneys have gone for the purchase of wardrobes, for the purchase of homesteads, for the support of families, for the education of children, for the meeting of the necessities of life, for pro- viding comfort for time of old age, and rightly spent, Ohristiahly spent. What has become of the other billions and billions of the wages paid to the working classes of this country? Many of them foolishly wasted, wasted at gaming tables, wasted in intoxi- cants, put into a bag with a hundred holes; Gather up the moneys that have ibeen spent by the working classes, of this country during the last thirty yeais for rum and tobacco, and I will build for the workingmen; every workingmah, a house, surrounding it with a g arden, clothing his sons in broadcloth and is daughters in silks> standing at his front door a prancing span of bays or sorrels, and insuring his life so that hiSiplace can be kept up after his death. If in the city of Brooklyn the people have expended $17*000,- 000 in one year for strong drink, and one- half of that money has: been spent 'by the wage earning .classes* then one-half the wages of this city has gone for rum. I stand before the Christian church and before the American peorle to-day to delcare that the mosii persistent and overwhelming enemy of the working classes is intoxicating liquor. It is a worse enemy than monopbly,it is a woive enemy than associated capital, it is the pest of the century, and has boycotted and is boy- cotting the body, mind and soul.of American industry. It.snatches awaya largepercent- age :of the wages of this country. It meets the laboring man and operative on his way to work in the morning, with baleful solici- tations, and at the noon spell and in the eventide and. oh Saturday when the wages ore paid it takes much of that which ought tJgo for the support of the family .and sacirfices it to the saloon keeper, We have now in these cities .saloons that have what they call free lunch.and -for.. 5-cente the laboring roan may iiave.iuji-BSjsip liOf intoxi(;ating-.liqnoKand;bhB 6r';twb'.Brticlss' ; offboa.afiaiypu^oiideiilho.w tl%'sSlbbnist-, \tort glass or om cup,! *His^hirsfc- is lcfidleaSSiia he drinks on and drinks \oh Jindz ibbcbinWa; patixh of that establishment, and, drinks more.aud more until he goes into the grave,, and his wife and children go tothepboi- houso. Within 300yards of old Sands Street Methodist Church, Brooklyn-^-tbat Gibraltar of Christianity, that fortress, of Godliness and the truth decade afterdecade, that old historical church, in which\ John Summer- field thundered on righteousness, temperance and judgment to come—within 300 yards of old Sands : Street ' Methodist church, there are to-day fifty-four drinking saloons and an application for another. H has been estimated-that if the groggeries and the rum shops of this country.were put side by side they would make a solid block from New York to Chicago. The liquor traffic is gathering up its forces and crying out: \For- ward march! take possession of the-ballot box, take possession of the city halls, take possession of the Legislatures,take possesion of the Congress of-the United States.capture the whole law for intoxication:\ Will you tell me what chance there is for the laboring classes of this country while this iniquity progresses.as it does? The nun -traffic pours the *itrioliCjdamnable stuff down the throats of hundreds of thousands of the working class,and while a strike injures both employer and employe, I this day proclaim a universal strike against strong drink, which strike if kept up will release the working class and bo the salvation of the nation. Any healthy man in America, if he will be industrious for twenty years and abstain from strong drink, and be saving, may be his own capitalist on a small scale. This country spends annually' in strong drink one billion, five hundred mil- lion and fifty thousand dollars. A largo part of that money is expended by the laboring classes. In Great Britain there are expended annually one hundred million pound=, or five hundred million dollars. Oh, workingmeu of America, whether you sit in this house to- day, or Whether these words shall in some other way como to you, I ask you to'sit down and add up how much you. have expended duiing your lifetime for rum aud tobacco, and then ask your fellow workmen how much they have expended for rum and tobacco, and add it all up and realize that by co-operative associa- tion you migh Miav.e been your own capitalist, instead of answering the beck and whim of of others. \Anything that takes from, the working clasres of America their physical strength is a robbery. Now, ,a miri who stimulates has not as much energy and phys- ical endurance as a man who refuses to 'stimulate. My father told me how he be- came a temperance.man. He said: \t bsr came a temperance man when everybody drank, because of what I saw in thoharvest field, where I found that though I was phys- ically weaker than other men because df long siciness, I .could endure more than nr> com- radesni theliarvest Held; I;couM.-jV!,-) knarHer and work louger, arid 1 be- less- fatigued at iu'ght; they took stimulants, I took nqne.\' ATbrick maker in England,, having in his employ many riton, investigated the subject, and he gives as theresult of his invest.'gafcon: \Thebeer drinker who u'ade thefewest bricks made 659,000; The abstainer, who made the fewest bricks made 746,000. The difference in behalf of the abstainer over the indulger, 87,000.\ There came a time of great wearfc ness in theBritish Parliament anathe sessions •were so long, and from week to week, that nearly all the members of the Parliament were, either sick or worn out Of the 033 members only two wentthrough undamaged. They were teetotalers. In time of war^ soldiers whoigo forth with wa'er or coffee in the canteen can march longer and make braver fight thon the soldiers wlio carry whisky in the canteen. Runi is a great help »for a 'inan to fight if he has only one con- testant and that at the street corner; but if a man goes forth to fight for Gbi and his country, he wants no rum abouthim. Wh6n the Rusoian army goes out a corporal passes along the line and smells the breath or each soldier, andrif there be in the breath the slightest suggestion of liquor the man is sent back to the barracks, Why? He cannot stand the battle, he cannot stand tho march. All our yonng men understaud this. Wften they are preparing for the regatta, for the- ball club, for the athletic wrestling, they abstain from strong drink. It is most im- portant that all my friends who are toiling with hand aud foot and brain*undeistand. , they can do more work without rum than they can do with it. The workingman who puts down his wages and then put) down right beside them his expenses and makes them ;'ust equal is not wise. I know laboring men who are in a perfect fidcet until they have spent \their last dollar. The following circumstance catr.e under my own observa- tion: A young mau was gett ng $030 or 4700 salary. Day of marriage cauie. His wife inherited ¥500 from'her grand father She expended every dollar in a wed ling equip- ment. Then they rented a i oooi. Then tho young man found it necessary to take even- ing employment. He was already nearly worn out fromovorwork; but now to th& day must night employment be added, until hiseyesight was nearly extingui-hed and his health nearly gone. Why did ho add' night' • employment to the day employment? To- get ntoro money. What did he want to get more money for? Tb put away for a-rainy day? Oh no. Toget his life in- sured so that if he died his wifs would not be a beggar? No, oh no. He had this other grand.and glorious enterprise oh hand; ha wanted to,get, and he did get,, by this extra labor $150 with ivhich to purchase his wife a sealskin coat. Worthy of a man!s-highest endeavor I The sister of the bride Ijeard of the achievement and she was not to be eclipsed. She was' earning her living with the needle. So she sat up nights week after week, month after month, until she \came-it<> the same; glorious achievement and-she had. won $150-n;jth whtblr'tb buy, .a-sealskfti coat ' aSosh'Wikn^.^^b^f't^ebflfect-waSpKtb^ft' ?Bfifeef;.'- Tiieire weff.i|^ny; .;p^ple\'bI;thiS# *tr£3t *i4teMiMJl^H|^^*jBw>lI , s »JS$'ie', Htepoiy, -'$mi\i3M'$&?m%mPFtim* i have a sealskiik; boatj.\ \Nbwy /between such\ ;a:fobl as that and pauperism there is only. ' one step. I was told about eight years ago, while ridihg_ with a clergyman in Iowa, that nearly all his congregation and the neighbors hood had been financially ruined by the fact that the farmers had put mortgages,on their farms-in order that they might send their families to the Philadelphia Centennial' Ex- hibition. \Why he said, \it was not con- sidered respectable here not to go to the Phil- adelphia Centennial Exhibition.\ So they all went. Ah, my friends, if by some flat of the capitalists, if by some new law of the- government of the United States, twenty-five .per cent., fifty per cent., 100 per cent, could be added, to *the wages of the working people, hundreds of thousands of them would be, no better off. More money, more .rum. More wages, more holes in tho bag. Scores of peoplewho might have been well off to-day, are in destitution be- cause thoy chewed, or smoked, or drank, or lived beyond their means, while others onthe same salary went oh to a competency. P know a man now who is all the time com? plaining of his poverty and crying out against rich men,, yet he keeps two ilogs, and he smokes and chews, and he- is fille 1 to the chin with Whisky and beer. Micawbersaid to David Copperfield: \Gop- •perfield, my boy, one pound income,, twenty- shillings ani sixpence outgo. Result, misery. - But Copperfield, my boy, one poun 1 income, nineteen shillings and sixpence outgo. Re- sult, happiness.\ But oh, workingmen, you take your dram in the morning, and you take your dram at noon, and you take your dram at night, and I will prom- ise you and your children poverty forever. The vast' majority of the children in the almhouses of this country had for fathers. Jrunkenor.lazy or improvident mon. I do not-kno w how it is with others who try to help :the poor, but nine.out of ten people that I help are the wives, or the children of drunk- M'ds, Now, the times-have got to .change if there is to be-any relief from these influences. We have got to live within our means, and we have got to b3 prudent. And here, let me - say, that I do not sympathize with skinflint saving. I am pleading for Christian priir • tair-e. A man now may have n? means to save, but we are at the morning of a great- :lay.of national .prosperity, and people -are . going'to have means to save. There are men who now have not a-dollar who might have bean their own masters, independent of em- ployers, independent of:capitalists, and what I say, you all know to be true. I know there are people who think it is .mean to • turn the gas down lower when they leave the parlor. I know there are peoble who !are very much embarrassed if the door bell, rings before the hall is lighted., Pknowrr there are Deople-whQ ieet abologetio ffihen.
