come the controlling power in the politics of
the state aud then to spread over the entire
country. The patrons claim to have been
forced into being By the monopolies and
trusts, and they propose TO organize a combi-
nation that will strike terror to the hearts of
their enemies. At present the patrons are de-
voting themselves exclusively to the merchants
and IN every town where they have a foothold
they enter into an iron-clad contract with one
dealer In each line Of trade to purchase only
from him, exacting a pledge that they shall
not be charged to exceed II per cent advance

A CHICAGO OPINION.
Base Ball Experts Take Little Stock
in the New Movement.

CHICAGO, Oct 2s.-A local representative of
the baseball brotherhood in an interview
printed today says: THE brotherhood will not
make any demands Of the league at the league
meeting to be held at the 5th-avenue hotel two
weeks hence, because one week from tomorrow
the United business association, or the brother
hood, will hold its meeting at the same hotel,
uncover its work, declare its intentions and be-
gin business on its own account. These men
will be astonished at the magnitude Of the
scheme (or conspiracy" as the league mag
mates chose to call it), at the work that has
been done and at the small chance of the
league breaking into the brotherhood ranks
All but three league men are now on the
Anson-is not in sympathy with the ''rebeis" I"
There is not and never was since the league re-
fused to confer over the grievances during the
last season Q chance for compromise.
I'VE figure that the talked-of League-Ameri-
can association combine will fail precipitately
because the Athletic club will not be wiped
out. It might be easy to get rid Of the present
clubs in Baltimore, Cleveland, Washington
indianapolis and Louisville. But the Athletic's
price will be too high; the men behind the clubs
will 60 into the courts rather than be 'wolfed. I"
The attorney for the brotherhood declares
that he will gladly meet the league people in
the courts; that the contract, while lettering
the player, guarantees him but ten days' work.
and that it will give the league no advantage
in the courts. The Ga Ne old double game pre-
sents itself when one regards the league mag
mates seeking to bind men for successive years
on the contract when the national agreement
declares that no contract snail be for more
than one season. 1t is true that one Of the
best men in the association is to take Anson's
place on first base for the Chicago team next
season"

MIR. DOUGLASS In HAYTI.
He Thinks the Problem of the Negro's
Future is to be Solved There.

Minister Douglass 10 said to have felt home
sick on landing at Port-au-Prince and riding up
through the sordid and filthy lower part Of the
town. The scene is always depressing TO
strangers. Mr.. Douglass, however, has hopes
for Hayti.
At the dinner given BY the ex-American
minister, Mr.. Thompson, and Mrs. Thompson
to the Hon. Frederick Douglass and party there
was an exchange of sentiments, says corre-
spondent of the New York Sun, making many
regret the lack of stenographer. In response
to the sincere and most appreciative tribute
paid him by his host Frederick Douglass ex-
pressed his personal sentiments concerning the
future OF Hayti and the race controlling its
destinies with an eloquence recalling his
speeches in the old anti-slavery days. he en-
phasized the fact that foreign invader had
never succeeded in getting foothold on the
island since the negro had become its master.
Hayti, with all her troubles, had held her own.
The problem of the future OF the negro would
be assured in her future. The race through
out the world was linked with her success or
failure In self government Whatever is for
the prosperity and enduring good of Havti is
for the prosperity and enduring good Of the
United States is for the good of Hayti, and for
the good of Hayti the black race should be as
one the world round"
Driving up from the dock the day Of his ar
rival Minister Douglass was naturally greatly
depressed at the condition Of the city and the
de ,radation OF the people thronging the streets.
"Well, ne said, finally, ''they are free. If
thev were slaves and in this condition how
hopeless their elevation might be-"
