Positions of Ball Clubs,

The Boston team is the pennant win
ner again this year. Although the sea-
son doesn't end until next Saturday, the
Beaneaters clinched their claims to the
championship Tuesday by defeating the
Washingtons. The Orioles are sure of
second place. no matter what way the
tide goes. Cincinnati cannot lose third
place, nor can the Clevelands be pushed
out Of fourth place.
The Chicagos are almost certain of fin
ishing in their present position, fifth
place. The Quakers and Giants may
possibly change places. Joyce's men
will have to win their five remaining
games while the Philies are winning
four out of six from Brooklyn in order
to tie for Sixth place. The rest of the
clubs will finish as they now stand.

his sweet baritone voice won him great
applause wherever he appeared.
As Willard expects to make living
as an actor and as his talents in this line
are very good, course at school where
acting is taught will, no doubt, do a
great deal to help him along in his

Oone But Not Forgotten.

Ed Barry is gone. and 80 is about
5000 which he collected Saturday. The
bills made by him are still here and not
paid and his partner, Dan Elliott, will
be loser to the amount of several
hundred dollars over and above what
Barry collected Saturday.
Last week Mr.. Elliott concluded to
withdraw from the restaurant business
and gave Barry bill of sale for same,
the latter to assume all accounts and
debts and pay Elliott for his interest, a
certain sum each month, until all was
paid. No doubt Barry had been work
ing for something like that and only
waited until the railroad boys collected
their pay so he could collect.
Barry is smooth tslker and worked
everybody he could, our daily contem-
poraries were examples of this. Various
and sundry times he invited the editors
to 25 cent meal, knowing very we'll
that 1t would result in each case in
IS cents to dollars worth of free
advertising and he was not mistaken.
He II not be forgotten until the next

Free Silver Men Confer.
From the Washington Post.

From the Washington Post
Leaders of the various parties advo-
eating the free coinage of silver were
in conference at the Capitol yesterday.
The first meeting was held in the com
mittee room of Senator Jones, of
Arkansas, chairman Of the Democratic
National committee, and there were
present, in addition to Senator Jones,
Senator Butler, Of North Carolina,
chairman of the national committee of
the Populist party Hon. A. P. Towne,
chairman of the national committee of
the Silver Republican party Senator
White, Congressman Bailey, and Hon.
Marcus DAILY, Democrats; Senators
Tellers, Pettigrew, Cannon, and
Mantle, and Representative Hartman,
Silver Republicans, and Senator Allen,
Populist. Later in the day there was
another conference, in which the
Democrats did not participate.
The meeting was not final, and no
authorized statement was made of the
proceedings beyond the announcement
that the meeting was merely incidental
to Mr.. Towne's visit to Washington.
1t is understood, however. that the
principal subject discussed was the
devising Of plan for holding the silver
forces together for the congressional
campaign next fall, and that, while no
absolute conclusion was reached, it
was decided that local silver leaders, of
whatever party affiliation, should be
advised of the conviction of the national
leaders of the necessity Of maintaining
solid front against the Republican
party as the organized advocate of the
policy of maintaining the gold standard.
The chairman of the various parties are
said to be agreed as to the wisdom and
Importance of concerted action.

GOLD STANDARD THE CAUSE.
Senator Chandler on the Recent ke'
duction Of Wages In New
England Factories.

The Evening Monitor. Senator
Chambers paper, in a recent issue,
contains the following as a leader,
under this caption:
1.-The Reduction of Wages is Caused
by the Gold Standard. Work for
Silver Money. says Senator Chandler. =
IA good New Years resolution for
Republicans Is to demand and during
1898 struggle for bimetallism. Every
man who works for wages should fight
against the single gold standard of
money. which is the most potent cause
of the recent reduction in wages made
in all the factories of New England.
The demonetization of silver and the
consequent appreciation Of gold, which
measures values, have contributed to
so reduce the price of commodities that
goods which would once have brought
the producer 800 now bring him only
$50. This is world wide condition
where gold prices prevail. and because
the manufacturers cannot get the old
prices for goods they say they cannot
pay the old prices for labor. But If it
had not been for the demonetization of
silver the wages of labor everywhere in
recent years would have risen, because
each laborer has been able, year by
year, to create larger product, and
he has. therefore. been entitled to
larger wages as his share Of that
product. This legitimate rise in wages
the adoption of the gold standard has
prevented. and instead of a rise comes
fall
Here il the whole case in a nut
she'll. and it is impregnable. The
unanimous position of organized labor
in America and Europe is, therefore,
against the single gold standard and in
favor of the restoration of silver to its
old position as standard money.
American labor now has protec-
tive tariff. Let all Republicans fight
to keep the greenbacks in circulation,
and to get rid of slavery to the gold
men, who are trying to drive out Of use
the silver money of the wage earners of
the world. -

made of pessimists and optimists, and
those two classes rule the nation. the
sermonizers to the contrary notwith
standing. Just at this time the
pessitists seem to be getting the better
of the argument. and according to their
