WHY WE DON'T LOVE HER.

Great Britain has ruined every
{ country in the world which she has
persuaded or forced, says the New
York Sun, into free trade. Her
commercial treaties, cozened out of
: Portugal, Spain, and Turkey, des-
= troyed the industries of each of those
countries, and made them poor. Her
cheap goods crushed out the ancient
'''househdd manufactures of the In
dian empire, which she overran, and
left millions of the conquered peo-
pie with the bare subsistence of rice
and water. A British army of in
vasion forced China to admit into
her territory the opium which Brit
ish merchants could market only in
that empire, and forced the entry
through the custom houses of China
of British merchandise at the des-
tructive duty Of two per cent. ad
valorem. It was the massacre of the
industry of magnificent and ven
cradle empire, and of countless
thousands of poor Chinese men, wo-
men, and children. These cheap
goods pirates in like manner cover
ed Japan with the guns of their war
ships, and compelled her to receive
the f1imsy products of Birmingham,
Manchester, and Sheffield at the uni
form duty of five per cent. ad valor-
EN-. That is free trade, and it is
strangling the life out of helpless
Japan.
The experience of Ireland is too
well known to need special mention
here.
England. indeed, is the CONNER
cial pirate of the world. She is now
straining her utmost to rob the
United States of it's industries and
get control Of our market. If she
succeeds, every workingman in this
country will be brought to compare
tive poverty. You can't help losing
the high wages you now receive. If
you retain any work at all against
the competition of the pauper- paid
labor of England, you will be com
PEELED by that competition to accept
as wages precisely that pauper pay.
Then perhaps you will love Eng
land more than you do now.

THE LEADERS,

Standing of the League Clubs at the Ens
of the Seventh Week of the Season-The
Leaders in the Association and Western
League.
There was radical change in the rela-
tive standing of the League teams last
week, without, however, affecting the posi-
ton Of the Chicagos, VINO still lead. First
the Bostons dropped behind New York
into third place, and then Detroit shot past
both into second place, where it is now
comfortably situated. Two defeats by
Pittsburgh and two by Detroit anchored
Boston in fourth place, aud single games
lost to indianapolis, Washington and Chi
cago put quite check on New York
Meanwhile, the Chicagos won three games
from Philadelphia and one from the
'Giants," and Detroit secured five straight
victories, three from Washington and two
from Boston. The Sluggers are now prob
ably in second place to stay. They stand a
little over five per cent. ahead Of New
York and as much behind Chicago.
Their strong work with the bat will likely
hold them in second place, but it is more
than they can be expected TO do to bat out
enough games to overhaul Anson's ''colts"
and ''old hosses." The latter are playing all
around ball too well to be beaten by batting
alone, and the only chance the Detroits have
Is to catch onto some new and remarkably
Effective pitchers. Weakness in the box is
their handicap, and they can hardly carry it
and win first place. Philadelphia seems to
have sure thing on Pittsburgh, no matter
what the latter can do with other cities, and
it is about settled that Indianapolis can beat
Washington. The standing of the clubs is
shown by the following table;

THE HANLAN-KEMP RACE.
Description of tho Great Regatta On the
Paramatta River.

Description Of tho Great Regatta On the
Paramatta River.
A dispatch dated June 10 from San Fran
cisco to the Chicago Ncrs says: ga full &C
count of the great sculling match for the
championship of the world between Hanlan
and Kemp, which took place May on the
Paramatta river, New South Wales, was
received by mail to-day. Both men were in
excellent condition, but of the two Kemp
seemed the best prepared for the struggle,
Hanlan appearing to be somewhat excited.
At the start Kemp shot ahead with .
jump and obtained lead of fully half
length after pulling half-dozen strokes.
The excitement was tremendous. Both men
were rowing at top speed. Kemp was strik-
ing forty-two strokes and Hanlan forty-one
to the minute. Hanlan soon increased his
speed and with mighty effort drew level
with Kemp in less than two hundred yards
from the start. Kemp now quickened his
stroke and rowing in grand form the Aus
tralian shot ahead like an arrow and soon
led the Canadian by quarter of length.
Up to this point the uproar had been ire
mendous and the race was a magnificent
one. Hanlan and Kemp now made across
for the beacon. About this time and place
the claim was at first made that Hanlan
had fouled his opponent. At any rate Han
Ian quickened up, rowing thirty-two, and
pulled down to the mile point in good style.
He passed the beacon in minutes and IA
seconds and here led tho Australian by
good length.
Kemp was now pulling splendid long
stroke and come down upon Hsnlan amid
the frantic shouts Of applause from thou
sands of oniookers. Crest excitement fol-
lowed as the Australian sculler was seen to
range up alongside Hanlan. A little lower
down the stream Kemp was leading by
nearly half-length. He now rowed an
even stroke. The Canadian was laboring
at his work. and all his mechanical precision
Of movement seemed to have departed from
him Before reaching Csbarity wharf Han
Ian, who was pale and perspiring very
freely, seemed thoroughly done up. Hero
the Australian had lead of four lengths.
At what Is known ss "One Man wharf"
Hanlan made finsl effort and went up
bit. A scene Of unparalleled excitement en-
sued at the wharf, as Kempt spurted,
proudly passing that structure two lengths
in front Of the Canadian. The Australian
was received with wild enthusiasm and
continual roar Of cheering from the as
sembled multitude.
Kemp's time ct One Man wharf was 40.
From this time out Kemp did as he liked,
and putting on . spurt and rowing with
skill and ease he shot past the winning post
at 1.-THE Brothers" i" three clear lengths
ahead Of Hanlan. Time, 81 :86.

keeping up with the procession, and sug-
gested that the champions deal wit them
gently. Manager Watkins said his team
was playing for every thing in sight, and
game won from the Senators counted as
much in the pennant race as victory over
any other club.
The interview lasted over fifteen minutes,
and in conclusion the President said he pro-
posed to go out to Capitol Park and witness
game of ball at the first opportunity. L
suggested that he hold off until the Sen
ators get into better trim, as he would
hardly enjoy such poor work as the home
club has been putting up of late. After
leaving the White House the Detroits called
upon Postmaster General Don Dickinson,
who is Michigander. He received his con-
stituents pleasantly, and he also admitted a
tenderness for the game. Manager Wat
kins rendered him the privilege of the
ground for the game that afternoon. Gen
eral Dickinson said he appreciated the COM
pliment, but must decline, as he proposed
to pay his way whenever he visited the
park He added that he had already in
vited Secretary Villas to go out to the game
with him that afternoon, and he admonished
his callers to be victorious.

One of the features of the Detroi1s' visit

fever, as he seemed TO enjoy talking about
the old Buffalo team, and instantly recog-
mixed big ban Brouthers as the slugger who
used to gladden. the hearts of the Buffalo

colloquy ensued between the President and
Big Dan, and the latter announced his in
tentlon to vote for Cleveland at the next
election, although be has hitherto voted the
Republican ticket.
Good Deacon White also came up for a
share Of Presidential recognition, so did
Jack Rowe and Conway. Hardie Richard
Son was absent, and the President was par
ticulsr in his inquiry as 10 the whereabouts
Of Jimmie Calvin, Buffslo's famous pitcher.
The President said he took considerable in
trest in base ball, but admitted that he was

close confinement TO his executive duties.
Some one suggested that he should read the

and said he would have to do something of

TO THE CHECKER WORLD.
June 16. 1S86
Correspondents answered next week.

VIII He Play or Resign tho Titlef
In commenting on An article OF ours the 1ury
says: when the match between Barker ana
Smith is concluded. Mt. Barker mas stated 70
the world that he Will play Mr.. Reed within two
weeks after his return home. This should sat
isfy Mr.. Reed and his friends until that time
arrives, but il he is uneasy ana must play. we
would advise him to SEND line 70 Mr HeHner
to play him a restricted match. or perchance a
note to Mr.. Freeman would quiet him until the
champion returns"
The above has we think, nothing to do with
the case. The question, reduced 10 its proper
proportion. is: Will Mr. Barker defend his old
title or will he resign it! Mr.: Reed CHARGED
him with holding championship that rightly
belongs to Mr.. Freeman. While, the writer
does not sanction Mr. Reeds statement in TOTO
yet il seems clear 10 HIM that, unless Mr..
Barker consents to play, ne VIII be forced TO
resign the championship. The English players
also object TO his claim to the championship OF
England, but Mr.. Barker still insists upon
pressing his claims to that distinction.
1t seems almost astonishing that Mr. Barker.
ever ready to assert his abilities, hesitates to
defend the red, white and blue title; and it
would look appropriate, to say the least were
he to meet an antagonist or TO allow his bonn
bastio claim on the foreign championship to
fall into the oblivion it merits. Let him go
abroad in a coat unadorned by gorgeous badges
and stand on his own merits as plain Charles
Francis Barker in search OF fame. Let him
play Mr.. Smith for the championship and
should he be so fortunate es TO return to the
Hub with the token OF victory, he Will be
accorded that measure OF praise which his
prowess deserves, and, having won victory
across the waters, let him then. according TO
his promise, play Mr.. Reed for the champion
ship which he at present seems unwilling 70
defend.
These friendly suggestions. the writer trusts,
will be needed by Mr.. Barker. They are the
outgrowth Of an earnest desire to have vexed
question settled and If Mr.. Barker fairly and
squarly beats Reed. as he says he can do. he
will have two flags of victory Haunting in the
breeze Of satisfied ambition. and can tie the
can not by any chance ascape-while mount
ing the pedestal of fame and claiming sll the
world his own.
But until Mr.. Barker has accomplished these
feats we are constrained to observe in the lam
guage OF the day. that the flies have not yet
been brushed from his genial countenance.

Thrown from His Horse In the Clifton
Races-Kelly to BE Arrested.
Alexander Seward, the jockey, is dead.
His death was the result Of the severe in

Seward again moved Windsall up and DR..

will win"
"No, he WON'T" said Gabe Caldwell, ''that
boy Kelly will cut him"
Scarcely had the words been uttered
when Kelly sent Brian Boru across the
track directly In front of Windsall Seward
tried hard to pull his horse up, but be could
not Windsall stumbled, threw Seward,
and fell on the rider. Seward was picked
up unconscious and he was conveyed to St.
Joseph's Hospital where be died without
having regained consciousness.
Mike DAILY was not at the track, but he
and Mr.. Gleason both were much affected
when they learned of their jockeys cruel
death, and determined 10 have Kelly in

A Denial of tho Story that Detroit Wi

A Denial of the Story that Detroit VIII
Have No Ball Club Next Year.
This city, says the Detroit correspondent
of Sporting Life, has been deluged with tears
since Caylor heartlessly informed a cold
and unsympathetic world that Detroit would
have no ball team next season. The people
here realized that Caylor must know what
he is talking about, and hence, when the
board of directors Of the Detroit club arose
and Indignantly denied that the club would
go to pieces; that they were well SATISFIED
with the outlook and intended TO Keep the
club here for years to come, the populace,
with Caylor's great truths ringing IN their
ears, laughed the directors to scorn. Caylor
should be careful about singing around
statements of that sort, for they tend to
put men who have their money in and con-
troll base bail clubs in a very embarrassing g
position.
From several other sources come stories
of the disbandment, selling out, disintegra-
ton, etc. of the Detroit club. All these
yarns the directors pronounce pure fabrl-
cations. They are evidently gotten up and
set al0at with t., intention OF lnjurlng the
club In this ection | had a talk with

pleased with the prospect. Financially, l
think this will be the best season Detroit
ever had, and the men who have their
money III the team are very complacent and
would not dispose of their stock for fat
premium. All these stories about the club
being sold or going to pieces are pure rot,
and create only merriment in the board of
directors. Detroit is in the league TO
