UNIONS AND SOCIETY.
Labor Organizations Tend to Abolish
Mans Inhumanity to Man.

Rev. Appleton Grannis, of Trim
ity church, Boston, in a recent SER
mon on The text E"'hy will be done,
said it is Il healthy sign that men
have come at last to have some
idea Of their responsibilities in the
matter OF the treatment of labor,
and SO far as that conscientiousness
prevails, he added, we shall have
the Kingdom OF God on earth.
He declared that the great prob
lens before us in this country are
trusts and the relations of capital
to labor. He considered that, the
good accomplished by labor organ
lzations far Overbalances the occa-
sional harm done in some specific
case by union. lie said that if
fifty unions be administered wisely
no attention is paid to the fact, but
if one goes wrong it is considered a
sensational affair and is widely ex-
plotted.
The speaker pronounced the
great mass of workingmen in the
labor organizations, intelligent,
honest and conscientious. He said
it is distinct advantage to society
that the organizations continue to
exist, and they are certain to do SO
IN one form or another, since the
workingman realizes his helpless
ness when standing alone.

CAPITAL AND LABOR.
Both Should Have Same Rights and
Privileges.

Capital has always claimed. and
still claims. the right to combine.
Manufacturers meet and determine
prices even i'll spite of the great law
OF supply and demand. Have the
laborers the same right to consult
and combine? The rich meet in
the bank, clubhouse or parlor.

wise making material advances.
It's officers are untiring i'm their
efforts, and tits not surprising that
their work is being crowned with
success. They expect to have
large majority of the unions in the
State affiliated before their annual
meeting which occurs in this city
III january next, and every union
man in the State should lend his
'asslstancein that connection. The
only way that the laboring classes
can expect to secure Legislative
protection is by centralizing their
forces and bring enough pressure
to bear upon the men who are
elected to represent the people, to
90 their duty. Hence the necessity
OF the State organization. IF there (
IS union in the city or vicinity
that is not affiliated, now is the
time to get III the band wagon.

Once upon time there was
man VINO sued railroad company
because he was knocked down by a
car, and after a long legal battle he
won his case and $1,000 damages.
His lawyer was one of the sticky
finger kind, and when the case was
finally settled he was in with bill
for fees, costs, etc, which footed
up to about S1,995. He handed it
over to the client with solitary

Portland Bound to Have
Team Coming Season.
Possibly in New England, or a

Prices for Drafted Players Increased and
the Number Limited.

There will be a league baseball team
in Portland this year. 1t may be New
England League team and it may be a
Maine State League organization, but 1t
will be a league team.
NJ. j. Garrtty, manager of the JeHerson
Theatre, who has been one Of the most
successful baseball managers in Maine,
both in Lewiston and Portland. will be
one of the principal stockholders In case
1t Is a New England League team. and
will in all probability be president of the
association in case it is a Maine State
organization.
Mr. Clarity has been in correspondence
with j. c. Morse, secretary of the New
England League, and at present there Is
no vacancy but the conditions are sucn
that very likely one or two clubs will not
be prepared to enter the field the coming
season. Two of the franchises are now
being held with 4 view to selling them
but the chances are that no city will
want to give up the price desired for
franchise in the New England League.
Worcester has an application in for ad-
mission and Portland would make the
eighth city in case the two clubs now
wanting to sell should drop out.-Port-
