The annual meeting of the Eastern
League, in which Worcester base ball
enthusiasts are~more or less interested,

Powers the authority to place the fran
chise to the best advantage, although
they may make some recommendations.
Many cities have been named as desir-
Gus of berth in the league and among
them is Worcester
President Powers understands the sit
uation here full well and during the fall,
or since the close Of the playing season,
has had several talks with Manager
Charles f. Rice, who practically con-
trolls the future Of the game in this
city. Mr. Rice has also had conferences
with the Springfield and Providence
owners, all of whom are friendly to
Worcester. In a word Manager Rice is
willing to go into the Eastern League if
he can gain membership therein for a
reasonable sum He does not believe,
however, in paying three or four thou
sand dollars for a franchise at the

Springfield, Dec. 6.-The vote in

in force and power we are ready to
march side by side with our friends in
Mexico blazing out the path and max
ing clear the way for the glory OF q
new century and the worlds best per-
iod of peace.
81 do not purpose, my fellow citizens,
to trace the history of the day we ce-
lebrste, nor recount the struggles OF
Washington and his compatriots.. Our
glory, our power, our strength, the
benefcence of our Institutions are
appreciated by all people, and the tide
of republican sentiment is rolling on
through the years unchecked and un'
abated. It would be as futile for kings
and autOcrats to attempt to stop 1t as 1t
was for Xerxes to scourge the waves or
Canute to command them to recede
from his footstool. To attempt to con-
quer people with whom self-govern-
ment is an established fact, and who
are ready to fashion their swords from
their plough-shares, would be but q
repetition of that folly.
Tracked with the turmoil lat tries
the strength of every institution we
have emerged from ordeals more solid,
compact, united than ever before, and
we stand to-day on the brink OF a new
career, loving the traditions OF
the past and meeting the
conditions of the present.
We have nothing to fear in conflict
from any nation. We are Americans
and we fight for liberty. The strug-
gle for human rights never goes back
wards in this western hemisphere. We
wage war that We may enjoy the bless
Jugs of speace, and our sons offer them
selves as noble sscr1hces In battle that

i7It is gratifying to realize that while
we are engaged in "a martial conflict
we are knit together with all the ties
that bind q prea. family. The wounds
of the civil war have healed in every
heart as on every hill. The sons of
the beautiful solthland are fighting
side by side withthe sons of New Eng

YESTERDAY

The HERALD has every reason to be
pleased because of the grand success
of the celebration of Independence
Day. For as the first suggestion
for q proper and fitting celebration
came from the HERALD, $50 the first
donation on the list was the flag given
by the HERALD to the city-the flag
which now floats proudly and beauti-
fully from the tall pole in the plaza.
When the hopes of q suitable celebra-
ton seemed to be waning, it was the
HERALD which . revived them, and
since then it has lent willing and
active aid to the group of generous and
public spirited men who assumed the
burdens, did the work, and have now
seen their efforts crowned with sue
cess.
The thanks of the whole community
are due to that group of men whose
time and money devoted to this end
have accomplished such q glorious
work. The names have been published
in this paper over and over during the
past month. 1t is not necessary to
particulsrize now. But it is certain
that Ell Paso is more of city today
than she was q month ago-that this
matter has served to show
our own people what can
be done by concerted and generous
action. The good influence of this
day of fellowship and fellow feeling
will never quite fade away. 1t has
been . good lesson, and augurs we'll
for the future of our city.
Such Fourth of July as that of yes
terdsy the present generation has ne
YER seen. The news we received from
Sampson, and Shafter, and Dewey, all
in one day, is astounding. There is
no use in trying to comment upon it.
All one can do is just yell. That is
just what we did in the park, and for
effective expression that beats long
winded speeches all to pieces.
The more we think about it, the
more wonderful it becomes, that such
news, and 90 much OF it--so perfectly
In line with our very widest desires,
should come to US here in Ell Paso at
the moment we are engaged in celebrat-
Ing the most famous Independence Day
since that first one that was celebrated
one hundred and twenty two years ago.
1t is little short of miraculous.
A most significant feature of the
days ceremonies was the part our Mex
loan brothers took in them. 1t is high
ly significant that two of the finest
military bands in the republic of Mex
loo should be sent by President Diaz
himself to assist US in celebrating the
fall of Santiago---for that is what it
was---and that they should play Star
Spangled Banner and Hail
Columbia with as much
apparent pleasure as they do La Colon
drina or Las Palomss. 1t was q grace
full and generous act on the part of
the honored president of Mexico,
an act that shall never be forgot
ten.
The Fourth is gone by, but the day
10 unique in Ell Paso's history, and shall
not be lost to memory
