HE VENTILATED HIMSELF.

"Halt, there" said . gentleman TO an
EAGLE reporter yesterday. The word Of
command was obeyed without hesitation,
because the follow looked like he had bite
of news on the end of his tongue.
"Ju.t look up that street, be said, with q
hand pointing in the direction it was sug-
gested 10 look.
aWell, what about that street," was the
meek reply.
"What about it, you aski Don't it look
like those old wooden awnings, cross signs
and merchandise exhibits are about to mon
opolize that thoroughbred"
He continued to air himself on the subject
introduced in hop, skip and jump sort of
way, and seemed to be decidedly of the
opinion that there was too much of that
kind of arrangement. lie referred to towns
of not one-third the size of this where wood
awnings, cross-street signs and daily street
exhibitions Of all kinds Of merchandise
were not allowed. being prohibited by an
ordinance. In his opinion our city was so
large now that all our sidewalks were not by
any means too broad to accommodate the
passers-by. $50 it is with goods on both
sides of the walk and head-bumper sign
in the middle to dodge, it is sometimes not
very nice walking along the streets, espec-
tally when one is in q hurry, as most Of you
people are. This is q greAt inconvenience
and makes the city look countryfed."
THE wood awnings do not make the
streets near "a attractive as if they were
made of canvas. This matter of paying at
ten.ion to the beautiful is too apt 70 be neg
lected by rush and hurry people like ours"
He finally consoled himself by concluding
that these improvements would come in on
the second round and it might be too much
to expect our people to do everything at

THE RED STOCKINGS,

THE RED STOCKINGS.
At meeting held in Justice Walkers of
fee in the Eagle block last night the Red
Stocking Base Ball club was recognized
and officers for the ensuing year elected.
Plans were also arranged for devising means
for fencing Lees park, which will be the
play ground.
The base ball, circus and lemonade season
are right here, and of course it won't do for
Wichita to be behind in the great national
amusement.
Since the youthful days OF the
writer the game has undergone COM
plete transformation and does not
possess half the amusement it used to. You
can't see the hosts of ardent admirers sitting
around on the the fence until some fellow
was knocked over with the ball, and then
one of the players would sing out, 'Over
the fence is out" and then all the boys
would skedaddle off to the creek for q swim
and would return and go ut it again. The
batting and running was also quite differ
ent. Now there is nothing but skunk after
skunk and when the game is played
out and the people feel they haven't had the
worth of their money, it ia found that both
mines haven't scored a dozen runs.
In the old days the game
wasn't worth three hurrahs if each side
didn't score up 80 or 40 home runs. These
were the days of base ball when there was
fun and when the patriotic youth would
cheerfully shed the blood of O rival from
another town ii he didn't admit that bis side
was best.
In those days boy used to sit on the
fence about quarter of II mile behind the
center fielder to see where the ball fell SO it
wouldn't be lost in the grass, but sometimes
he received the ball on the nose or in the pit
of the stomach, when he would take y vacant
look at the surrounding landscape and curl
up like piece Of hot rubber.

because of better facilities tor getting them

MIR. PowDERLY's ADDRESS.

The opening address of NJ. Powderly
deals principally with giving general out
line of the past years work in the organ
izatiOn, and making some recommendations
for action by the Assembly. During theyear
the Order has been augmented by 4,O6S
local assemblies many that the fast in-
creasing membership could not be assimi-
lated.
Mr.. Powderly dwells upon the south
west strike, not approving Ofthe strike, but
still throwing the blame upon the railroad
companies. The eight hour system is to
be carried out by more concerted action
and less rashness than was shown last
summer. A better understanding is to be
brought about with the trades unions in
the Order-something very necessary,
owing to the misunderstanding that have
arisen in the past year.
Two things of especial Importance re-
commended, are cooperation and
the abolition of the employment
of children under fifteen years
of age in mines and factories. lie
shows that unless cooperative OF some
other means is adopted to make the ma
chinery that is so fast being invented sub
serve to the good of the wOrkingman in
stead ofthrowing him out of employment.
The importance and humaneness of abOl-
ishing child labor is attested by everyone
who has observed the hardships and mis-
fortunes that are brought upon the young
who are grinding their lives away in mines
and factories.
Mr.. POwderly is nearly silent upon
the two great questions of strikes
and bOycotts and little can be judg-
ed of what he will advocate in the assem-
bly,. We take it though that he will
stand by his oft repeated assertions that
he hates the boycott and believes in strikes
only as as last resort.

with none.
Tothis end the celebration on the 4th Of
March, 1889, is to be held and participated
in by the sixteen American republics. To
this end the Democratic party pledged
itself and will work for its success. The
trade of the American republics is of es-
necial Importance to this country. 1t IS 4
great national misfortune that Europe Is
taking this trade right out from before our
eyes. Our mills and factories ought to De
running twelve months in the year, EN-
ploying thousands more men, instead
of closing down for two, three or four
months of the year, because the people OF
the United States can consume no more oil
tbeproducts. Whenever we get the South
American trade, not only must all the
manufactures we have at present be kept
busy. but Others must spring up on every
hand to meet the great demand.
The voters of West Virginia will do well
10 remember this when they vote for Con-
gressmen on NovembCr2. A vote for a
