AMATEUR ATHLETICS.

During the past two weeks the GLOBE
has published detailed accounts of
many amateur athletic contests. both at
home and abroad. Such news is timely,
because now is the season devoted to
events of this sort. 1t is suggestive to
note in how many instances the reports
show that the participants have been
improperly trained or overtrained. A
common phrase in the newspaper story
is that this man was completely exhaust
ed before the end of the race, or that
that man tainted at tine finish. Exercise
is supposed to have its value in its good.
effect on the health of those who take
it but it is hardly possible that
anybody's physique is improved by
a pastime which leaves him in
an exhausted or fainting condi-
ton. Such things seldom occur in col
lege contests. The Yale and Harvard
football players, after all hour and a
half of exciting battle, are able to leave
the field without assistance, and the
university oarSmen do not have to be
carried from their boats at New Lon
don. But when young men who are in
business engage in sports it constantly
happens that they give evidence during
the contest itself of the harm they are,
receiving, and that they have reason to
regret their efforts for many years after
they are made.
The explanation of this is two-fold.
College athletes are more carefully
coached than other amateurs. Many
nnnthc r;x IN
and teams are selected from among
many candidates, so that the physically
efficient are sure to be eliminated. In
local organizations, like our boat club,
for example, where the membership is
limited, this cannot always be done.
The best material available is chosen,
but it may be that this material is not
equal to the strain to which it Will have
to be subjected. This is only half of
the matter, however. College boys
have no especial drafts made
Oh their nervous system while
they are in training, except by
the training itself. Their minds are
free from anxiety, and the work which
they have to do for class room is simple
and not very wearing. With amateur
athletes of another class it is different.
The man in trade or a profession gives
an immense amount of force every day
to his calling. He gives more thau he
rea Lies himself. The hours spent in
detail, in scheming, in achievement,
diminish his vitality, even though he
never notices it. When he adds to this
the burden of vigorous and competitive
eXertion in a boat or on the football
field he attempts more than he ought,
unless he is extraordinarily stout. No
sensible person questions the benefi t
the community gets from the spread of
the out-of-door spirit, but there is a
danger in mature men forgetting that
they have not the same surplus of power
for athletic tests which they had III
their bOyhOOd.

HOMESTEAD WAGES

The statement issued by the confer
ence OF the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor and the
Amalgamated Association Of Iron Work
ers regarding tie wages of CARNEGIE'S
workmen etfectually nails a favOrite lie
of the monopoly organs, which, from
the first, have bitterly opposed and
grossly IniSreuresehted the Homestead
strikers. 1t has been asserted with per-
sistent mendacity that the wages paid
by CARNEGIE TO his employees were so
magnifcentiy liberal as to enable the
men TO Toll in the lap Of luXury,as it were
that most of the men owned their homes,
and that the strike was ordered merely
to protect a few pampered tOilers who
were already drawing the highest wages
on the scale. The statement just issued
dlsproveS these fabrications i'll detail.
1t shows that the men employed in
the Homestead mills before the
strike received wages as follows:
Thirteen averaged $3.50 per day
46 received between IS and 81
per day; 81 received from 81 to s. per
day; LIT received from Sl.6S to $3.50
per day. and 1.625 received IA cents per
hour, or less. Moreover, only per
cent of the men own their homes clear
of incumbrance; Is per cent have their
homes under mortgage, and the re
mainder pay rent, and number of
them have been evicted by the CAR
NEGIEs. sit is not true" continues the
report (Which was printed in full in
yesterdays GLoBEl, ''that the men are
only defending the wages of the higher
priced workmen. 1t is in defense of the
l4cents-per-hour men as much as any
other that the Homestead workm en-
areimaiiing their fight"
This careful and conservative state
ment. supported, as it is, by figures
which can be readily proved, shows
that the Homestead strikers are con-
tending not for fabulous riches, as the
subsidized press of protected monopoly
would have the country believe, but for
bread and butter, and humble shelter
for themselves and their families.
Strikes are costly to all concerned, and
should be used only as a last resort.
But strikes are the only weapon where
with the workman can combat the ad.
vantage which tariff-made MONOPOLY
gives his employer over him, and in this
CARNEGIE case the weapon is appar-
emily not uniuStitiably used.

= Grover Cleveland knows that his

practlced at the South, and his attack
upon the Republican declaration for
fair elections amounts simply to an at
tempt to soiidify the ranks of the South
ern Democracy by holding the bugaboo
of negro domination up before the eyes
of his party. One such speech as that
of Cleveland Will do more to arouse
slumbering sectional animosities than
dozen force" bills fairly put into oper-
alton, and a candidate who willingly
throws principle to the dogs and grovels
at the feet of the eX-rebelS of the South
as Cleveland has done is unworthy of
