The Metropolitans to Pass Away With the
Present Season.

1t is understood that the Metropoli-
tan Base Ball Club of New York City
and the Athletics of Philadelphia are
to be consolidated at the end of the
season. For some time the Metropoli-
tan Exhibition Company, which runs
both the ball clubs in New York, has
been buying Athletic stock, and it now
has controlling interest. With the
last scheduled game in October the
Metropolitan Club will pass out of ex-
istence, and there will be only one pro
fessional nine, the New Yorks, in New
York City next season.
The Metropolitan Exhibition Com
pany will run the New Yorks and the
Athletics. The Metropolitan players
will go to strengthen both. Orr, Hol
bert, Keefe, Estelbrook, and Roseman
will go to the New Yorks, and the 9TH
ers will be of the Athletics of next
year. Mr.. Mutrie will probably be the
manager of the new Athletics.
The cause of this change is said TO
be the poor support which has been
given to the Metropolitans. Although
they stand first in the Association race
the attendance at the New York games
has come to be very small. The New
Yorks, it is promised, will be fine
club next season, and will have first
class management.

THE BUTLER FI2ZLE.


Ben Buffers organ, the New York
San, for several weeks past has been
shouting that the Butler demonstra-
tion of last Saturday evening IN New
York city, was to be the largest assem-.
blage in our history. They were ar
ranging for an attendance of from
twenty to thirty thousand people, OF
all parties, who were fast tumbling
over to Butler. The meeting was CALI
ed, and Butler had the satisfaction of
speaking to less than one thousand
people. He should be satisfied that
even that number would sit and listen
TO his harangue of anti-monopoly ideas;
when the intelligent laboring man is
aware of Buffers income of 100000
annually which he fails TO lavish upon
his much sought for labor voter. They
canot lay the fault to the lack Of inter
est manifested by the laboring man to
public demonstration, because on Mon
day the labor unions of the city of
New York held demonstration, which
was not political, and there were from
twenty to twenty-five thousand in pa
rade. If the meeting is type Of the
Butler boom, (and the New York Sun
heralded in advance that it was) we
find he has come to be recognized as a
grand fraud, and if extraordinary eff
forts are not put forth from this until
election day he will have hard time
to poll the small vote of 100000 that
Weaver pollod in 1880.

The Causes Of Labor Riots,

The labor riots in Ohio, which, but
for the wisdom of democratic execu
tive, might have led to untold misersy
and incalculable loss, suggest that the
causes of these outbreaks ought TO he
inquired into with view 10 prevent
ing their recurrence. There is no
higher mission of craftsmanship than
this and no means by which more good
may be accomplished.
Labor riots are comparatively recent
origin in this country. For nearly a
century the country advanced in mater
ial interests and developed her abuu.
dant resources without these eruptions.
But within the past twenty years they
have been coming with unpleasant fire.
quency and dangerous consequences.
It is not difficult to discover the causes,
but the remedies can only be applied
when they are fully understood.
Labor riots have their inducing
cause in the distress of laboring men.
When workingmen are prosperous
they are happy, contented and amiable.
When, however, want overtakes them
and their wives and children are suffer.
ing for necessaries of life, they become
restive, irritable and riotous. This con
dition is brought about by the econom-
ic system of the republican party.
Over protection which in time leads to
idleness. From that come want, dis
content and disorder Laboring men
should reflect on these facts. They are
not to blame for the outbreaks so much
as the system that makes them inevita-
ble.-P0triot.

A CALM REVIEW OF THE PRESIDENTIAL
BATTLE AS THE TRUTH PRESENTS IT.
The real information received here
from the West and South in regard to
the political situation is very different
from the statements daily given to the
public by those Republican journals
which are strictly partisan. Within a
fortnight those who have access to the
private information which comes here
to Republicans have been surprised at
the unsnimity of opinion that, instead
of the old-time Republican majorities
in the leading Western States, there
are plain indications that every one of
them is rapidly becoming uncomforta.
bly, close. This information which
comes by letter and has been brought
also in person by men prominent in
the contest which is opening is from
supporters of the Republican ticket. In
all cases want of money is noted. In
no single Western State are Republi-
cans giving as they have in other cam
paigns. From sections like the Wes-
tern reserve in Ohio, which have been
heralded to the country as :'on fire for
the Republican ticket" reports come
from leading men of an apathy which
indicates large stay -at-home vote
The truth about Ohio to day is that
many of the Republican workers who
are recognized as those who should be
corr ectly informed regard that State as
exceedingly close, with the present
chances in favor of the Democrats.
The same is undoubtedly true of Wis
consin, and within the last week Re-
publicans are beginning to admit that
Michigan is no longer by any means a
sure State. Unless the inside informa-
tion coming here both to the Republi-
cans and Democrats is altogether at
fault there is no longer any chance of
the Blaine ticket carrying that state
There are even reports from Ohio that
give the Republicans uneasiness with
respect to the Congressional vote. Pub
lie men as prominent as any among
the Republicans have written here
practically conceding another district
to the Democrats and that the Repub-
licans must be prepared to see that
State go for Blaine only by reduced
majority. A German who has been
observing the conditions in that State
and reporting here, says that he did
not find a single one of his country
men who would vote the Re
publican ticket. In brief, the Repub-
lican situation, as recognized by
those managing the campaign, is that
the States OF the Central West, with
the possible exception of Illinois, are
to-day debatable ground. The nation.
al committee, instead of being able to
confine its efforts as heretofore TO Ohio
and Indiana, has suddenly been arous-
ed to the fact that both Michigan and
Wisconsin are slipping away from them
and that il may yet be possible for the
Democrats TO succeed without single
Eastern State. - Washington Dis
match TO The Public Ledosr.

Tornado in Dakota.

The following are some of the pecu
liarities of the recent tornado which oc
CURED near Huron, Dakota Twelve
miles northeast of Huron a man named
Briggs had thirty-two head of cattle
killed by being blown into the James
River and drowned, or thrown on the
ground and crushed. He had six head
of horses killed IN the same way.
Eleven hundred ushels of threshed
oats in his granary were all swept
away. His wife is well known but
termaker for the Huron market. The
last three months she and servant
packed all the butter they had made
in crooks, and stored it in the cellar,
several hundred pounds IN all When
they saw the storm coming they went
into the cellar and crouched in the
northeast corner of it, the direction
from which the tornado was coming.
1t carried away and destroyed the
house, scooped up every crock of but
ter and carried it away and it cannot
be found. The women were unhurt.
William Felkey had two horses and a
colt in his stable. The stable, horses,
and colt are yet to be heard from. Myron
Kinney had two harnessed horses at
his stable. The horses were seen to
go up in the AIR and come down long
distance away, About two hours al,
terward they walked back home with
all the harness off except the collars.
The Rev. George A, Cressey lives q
mile from the business centre of HUI
ron. The tornado that struck near
here was in plain sight from his house
a mile distant. He says no wind wa'
stirring outside of the storm belt, and
there were no other clouds in the sky
At times two or three tornado clouds
were in view. All had a spiral mo
ton, and looked exactly like an ordi
nary tin funnel, The cloud gradually

To be Sued for Libel.

1t is rumored that Gen. Butler, the
inevitable, is going to sue l.. Lum
Smith, editor and proprietor of the
Philadelphia Herald, for libel. Mr..
Smith recently invented, and is selling
an amusing game which he mirthfully
terms political Euchre." Each state
is represented by an ordinary playing
card, bearing on its face the number of
electoral votes. The Republican States
are all printed in black and the Demo
Gratis in red. Blaine and Logan are
played respectively as right and left
bowers whenever Republicans are
trumps, Democratic candidates oice
versd. General Butler is most appro-
priately played as the "Little Joker,
and at times makes it screamingly en-
barassing for either Blaine or Cleve-
land PLAYERS. The winning side must
secure at least POI of the 401 electoral
votes. Mr.. Smith can easily establish
the fact that Butler is a joker, and can
call as witness both Blaine and Cleve-
land.-PottsoilIe Chronicle.
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1884-09-05

Patrick A. Collins, in his speech at
the recent Irish demonstration in New
York, asserted that many years ago
Father John Baptist was tarred and
feathered In Maine, and the Kennebec
Journal, Mr.. Blaine's paper, instead of
denounciug the outrage, said there was
great provocation for il. The Father
Baptist referred to by Mr.. Collins is
living at the novitiate in Frederick
City, Md. He is on the superanuuat
ed list, being over 80 years of age. lie
is a tall, patriarchal-looking man and
very genial in his manner. About
thirty years ago he was pastor of a
church at Bangor, Me-, and had charge
of chapel also at Ellsworth Such
was the effect of the outrage upon him
that even yet when he hears a knock
at the door of his room he clasps his
hands and asks piteously, "Are they

The Germans for Cleveland.

Judge Thayer of Iowa, in speaking
of the situation in that State says:
''The German vote is now deciding
factor, and the prohibition legislation
of the Republican party has brought it
to us. A very small fraction of the
German vote, indeed, will stay Repub-
lican. We will get more than nine
tenths of it. We expect to carry the
State against the Blaine electors"
Congressman jeremiah Murphy, of
Davenport, Iowa, said: "The pros
pect in Iowa of beating the Blaine
ticket is excellent. Cleveland and
Hendricks will poll ninety-five per
cent. of the German vote of the State.
That vote amounts to $4,000. For
merly the Republicans got fully A..
900 of it. The German voters that re-
NAMED with the Republican party
after the last national election feel that
they have been outraged by the last
Republican Legislature by the passage
of the prohibitory law with its enor-
nous penalties and the consequent
confscation of large amounts of prop
erty. There is no detection whatever
in the Irish vote"
Representative Wallace. of Ohio,
says the Germans of Ohio are all leav-
ing Blaine, and that Ohio will be car
ried in October by the Democrats. He
says also that he has no doubt about
Wisconsin's being carried by the Dem
ocrats. Gen. L. B. Parsons, of Hi
nois, says the Democrats are having a
hurrah campaign and making very
great gains in German districts. They
have fighting chance there and if
Ohio goes Democratic in October the
Democrats may carry Illinois.
Ex Congressman Elredge, of Wis
consin will 90 to the Democrats, as
the Germans will not vote for Blaine.
