When Is a Manager Not a
Manager?-Nearly
Al1Days.

There are few people who really
know OF just how little real impor-
lance baseball player is unless they
happen to be put wise by some good
friend who knows the ropes.
Out on the field, of course, it is the
player who does the brilliancy stunts,
and he is the man in the public eye,
but greater than the hero is the man
who counts the coin.
When the man behind the coin count
er says Hump the player humps, and
when he doesn't then he drops into the
cheap restaurant, where feed does not
cost so much. When he gets on good
terms with the money king he eats in
more attractive places.
But the man with the coin is the
king There is no denying that fact,
and the more that baseball becomes
business the more kingly he becomes.
Managers have largely ceased to be
managers. In most cases they are
merely figureheadS. Off the field cap
tains, who keep the players in condi-
ton, see TO il that they don't get
grouchy. watch their play and suggest
the necessary changes in batting order
and in lineup. They may tip the OWL

Convention at Morgan City on
that day and the boat excursion to

The attendance from every Sec

was much larger than was proba-

left on her trip to the gulf. more
than five hundred delegates we're
aboard.
The towns of Morgan City and
Berwick were handsomely decora-
ted aud the national emblem pro-
fusely displayed. When the boat
left and returned, all the whistles
of those thriving and prosperous
towns blew a salute as well as
every boat on the river, and the
people lined both banks of the RI
YER to greet the excursionists, and
the Morgan City Brass Band fur
nished good music during the day.
The boat was the Sewanee and q
large barge, in which was all the
good things to eat. drink and
smoke, and the supply was more
than sufficient to satisfy the large
number of people. There were on
board many of our most represent
tative people of this State, as will
be seen by the proceedings which
were published in the New Or
leans papers, and which are too
long for us to attempt the publica-
ton of even a synopsis.
The people of Morgan City and
Berwick managed this affair in a
manner that does credit to their
enterprise, and we hope that this
meeting will have for it's result the
accomplishment of this great work

Fight for Ttuo Thrones

Prussia and Austria. King George of
Hanover, son of that duke Of Cum
berland, who was son to George Ill,
sided with Austria. Prussia won, and
took revenge on George of Hanover
by depriving him of his kingdom.
After the death of ex-King George
his son, the present duke of Cumber-
land, made claim to the throne of
Hanover. Not only was the claim re-
jected, but the kingdom of Hanover
was absorbed by Prussia as a mere
province. Thus both titles and rev.
enues were swept away, and all the
influence of the English monarch has
not been sufficient to secure their res
toration to his kinsman.
In the meantime, William, duke of
Brunswick, died. and the duke of
Cumberland, claimant to the throne
of Hanover, became heir to the duchy

of Brunswick as well. Here again
Prussia intervened. The king of
Prussia had become German emperor
on the formation of the German en-
pire, and both Prussia (Which had abb
sorbed Hanover) and Brunswick, had
become German states. In anticipa-
ton of the very contingency which
now arises, a law had been passed in
1879 to the effect that if the legiti-
mate heir to the duchy of Brunswick
(who was of course the duke of Cum
berland) were prevented from ascend
ing to the ducal throne a regency
should be constituted. The duke OF
Cumberland was prevented from be-
coming duke of Brunswick ON the
ground of the disloyalty of his father,
King George of Hanover, in 1866. Con-
sequently Prince Albrecht of Prussia,
a nephew of Kaiser Wilhelm l. and
cousin of the present I kaiser. was
made regent of Brunswick.
In this condition matters remained
until the recent death of Prince AL.
brecht, when the question of the duke
of Cumberland's claims once more be-
came acute.

CONTENTION WHICH INVOLVES
ENGLAND AND GERMANY.
King Edward Claims the Throne Of
Hanover-Brunswickf for His Cousin,
But Emperor William
Saws No.

One of the petty quarrels that oc-
casionally arise between relations,
and sometimes carry them to at least
the verge of war, is that of the sue
cession to the throne of Hanover
Brunswick, which is now agitating
statesmen in England and Germany,
and involves directly the friendly rela-
tiOns between the German emperor
and his uncle the king of England.
To gain an appreciation of the grav-
ity with which the royal rivals view
the dispute, it is necessary to go
back to the time of George l., who,
when he succeeded to the English
throne, was both duke of Brunswick
Luneburg and king of Hanover. At
that time there was, of course, no
German empire, and the duchy and
the kingdom were Independent princi-
palities, in which their rulers held
large property and revenue rights, fire.
quently referred to as the Guelf
treasure. But there was also another
house Of Brunswick Wolfenbuttel,
which had arisen from division of
the possessions of Ernest the Confes-
sor, duke of Brunswick-Luneburg, be-
was the progenitor of the house of
Brunswick -Wolfenbuttel
Then it happened that while George
III. of England inherited the Guelf
possessions, the dukedom of Bruins
wick-Luneburg and the kingdom of
Hanover, his sister Augusta married
the duke of Brunswick ck-Wolfenbuttel
Her grandson, William duke of Bruins
wick died in 1884 without issue. This
terminated the house of Brunswick
WOlfenbuttel, and left all claims to
| the title of duke of Brunswick in the
house of Brunswick-Luneburg, which
is now represented by the duke of
Cumberland, cousin of King Edward.
| OF course it is we'll known that
King Edward is of the house of Bruins
wick-Hanover, but neither of the Ger
man titles which the Georges held
could pass to him because of the Salic
law, which prevented his mother,
Queen Victoria, from inheriting them.
The succession, therefore, to both
Brunswick and Hanover went to her
uncle, the duke of Cumberland. eldest
surviving son of George III.
The cousin of the English king
| should be by descent both duke OF
Brunswick and king of Hanover, but
in fact he is neither. There are a
lot of political complications which
have led the German emperor. to re
! fuse his assent to the succession
urged by his royal uncle, and which
give rise to the bitterness of feeling
that has grown out of the dispute.
