I "I am Miffcrlng no apprehension as to tho welfare of, our Hague," said Mr. Whitfield. "Wo will certainly start tho season at tho sound of tho Kong, and I think we'll havo enoueh mnnev of our own to carry It through. If wo. haven't, I know whero wo can get plenty moro. "Wo aro not looking for any fight, but wo claim thl. territory and will havo It. Wo aro porfoctly willing to go against Sir. Hlckoy and bis cohorts, and before It Is all ovor ho may find that wo havo taken a fow teams out of his oastern territory. I havo plenty of applications from such cities as Indianapolis. "I havo talked with Air. Itourke today and I think that he will stand by tho West ern ilooguo. However. It makes no differ ence whether ho docs or not. If ho sells out to tho othor peoplo, wo will simply go right, ah end and put In a team hero, anyway, securing new grounds. Confidence In ItonrUe. "It la a fact that on last Friday Mr. Hlckey offered Itourko $3,000 tor his plant. Hourko did not accept It nnd he would be fcollsh to do so. Why, I'll gtvo him 15.000 for the placo myself today and maka him managor of tho Weatorn, lcaguo team here on a salary.

Ho has the plant, ho him both franchises arid ho has a good lint of players. Even If ho dors soil out to Hlckey ho' cannot transfer tho play ers, and Wo Will hang onto them.

Despite the bluster 'to tho contrary, alt thoso minor lcaguo players oro reserved and cannot summarily go out of their com pany nnd sign clsowburo without taking tho risk of nlmont certain blacklisting. "I carry tho proof for that right with mo," said Mr. Whltflold," bringing to light n circular from Secretary J. H. Fnrrell of tho National Association of Minor leagues.

"That circular means trouble for Mr. Hlckoy," said Mr. Whitfield. "Those men do not Intend to tako such chances. Moan whllo, I nm satisfied with tho situation -liero.

Tho expected visitor had not yet reached tho city and would not bo horo until Wednesday. "Then you cannot glvo an nnswer to night!" asked Hlckey. ' "Not until after I have seen this party who U coming," answered Rourke. "Then wo might as woll call tho deal off," was the ultimatum of tho American's president. "All right," assented RonrV.e, ond tho matter Is now considered nt an end so far am willing to recommend it to all for coughs." Mrs. C. Simon, New York Mc. 1.X). AUdrsqlHt. Woman's Work iti Club and Charity Representation at tho biennial conven tion of tho" General Federation of Women's Clubs, to bo held la Los Angeles May 1-6 Inclusive, was tho chief concern of tho Woman's club at ltn meeting yesterday aft crnooa. Tho club this year Is entitled to six delegates, one of which must bo Its president, and six alternates, the election of whom has not yot occurred. Thero has been considerable Informal discussion con cerning this election, tho women recogniz ing tbo value of a full voting representa tion desiring that only women who would bo nuro to go bo elected. When Mrs. Tll den presented tho matter to the meeting tho question naturally aroso concernlne what provision tho club would mnko for tho expenses of tho delegates, As a differ ent arrangement has been made for each of tho other biennials, thero was no prece dent to follow, but In, tho gcnoral discussion tho women seemed to bo generally of the opinion that the club codld not afford to pay tho expenses of tho, delegates this year. It was finally decided that tho matter he taken up as the first business nt tho next mooting and thnt tho election of tho dele gates follow It. As chairman of the philanthropic commit tee, Mrs. H. 8. Jaynes reported that. In tho Judgment of tbo committee, the location bf tho Auxiliary club In tho First ward was too far east to accomplish all that mlKlit bo dono, thero and that It was thought ad as tho purchoso of the Itourko plant is concerned. Ilnndlr Is In Earnest. "I would havo been glad to havo pur chased tbo Itourko plant," said Mr. Ilandlo last night, "for tho solo reason that It would have ended all friction. Still. I am not greatly disappointed, becauso for tho snmo money I would havo paid for tho Im provements nt tho Vinton Street park I can equip a new park that will bo Just as ac cessible nnd will be much moro desirable becauso I can put In better accommoda tions. "For $5,000 tho grounds can bo graded and fenced, grandstand nnd bleachers nnd club quarters provided, and tho wholo fin ished In modern stylo.

I nm not nt all alarmed about not getting players. Wo will havo all tho men wo want when tho season opens." "I do not wantto nccuao cither of tho Itourkcs of taking advantage of our offer to dlckor with other people," said Mr. Hlckey, "but It looks to mo like thoy asked their Western loaguo associates to make good on their offer of support. I know that the Itourkcs havo been promised by Messrs. Van Drunt and Uurns that they will be held free from loss during tho coming sea son it they will stick to tho Western lcaguo In Omaha.

ArPLIES PRINCIPLE TO DEMOCRACY Hays Whether In Power or Out, Party Hlnnils for C'onsdtntlounl Rnvi-rn-in cut Administered According to JcfTrrsonlnn Mnxlm. WOOSTKR, O., Jan. C. Hon. William J. llryan spoke hero today at tbo Jackson day banquet, which wns held this evening at his suggestion In order that ho might keep engagements at Now Haven nnd Ilos ton lator In the weok. His subject was "Steadfastness" and bo said In part: Among tho trnlta of chnrnctcr which dis tinguished Andrew Jnckson no trnlt wns moro prominent or more helpful to his country than his stendfnstness. When he believed a thing, ho helleved It. Where duty led, bo followed without questioning. When ho decided thnt anything ought to bo done, he did It, nnd no power could overawe blm. Ho did not huvo in his veins n single drop of "anything to win" blood. When Nicholas Riddle declared thnt through tho national bank he could make and unmake congresses Jnckson replied that that wns more power than any one man ought to hnvo in this country, nnd he then began his, war ngnlnst Ulddlo nnd bis bank, which resulted In the overthrow of that greut financier and the institution which ho so autocratically controlled. Others wero nfrnld thnt Riddle's Inlluence, If antagonized, would defeat the democratic party, but Jackson snw In it a menace to his country and ho did not stop to consider what effect an nttack on tho bank would havo on himself or on his party. Ho won nnd wo revero his name and celebrate his day. Ronton, In reviewing Jackson's work, said that, as Cicero overthrew tho con spiracy of Catllno and saved Home, so Jackson overthrew tho bnnk nnd saved America. Wo shall observe this day in vain if wo do net cnthor from thn llfn nt Jnckson Inspiration nnd encouragement for me worn wntcn lies tiororo us. Today tbo democratic party needs to learn from tho hero of New Orleans tho lesson of stead fastness; it needs to learn from him not oniy tnot to do right is moro Important than to be sucoessful, but thnt to be right h me oesi way 10 incuro success. Mukc Party Principles Inrlolnte. A pnrty must have principles or It can havo no claim upon public conlldence, und how can it commend its principles better than by standing by thorn? Who will hnvo fnlth In tho creed of n party if tho party stands ready to barter iiway Its creed In' exchange for tho promise of patronage? A halting, vacillating course not only falls to Invito recruits, but It alienates and drives nwny veterans. ' Another reason for steadfastness Is found In tho fact thnt no one can tell until tho attempt Is made what obstacles courngo can overcome. Tho bold and fearless tri umph whero the timid fail. Tho victories which live nnd light us on to noble deeds nro tho victories snatched from the Jaws of defeat by Intrepid spirits who preferred death to retreat. Thero Is a profound philosophy as well ns a religious truth In the words: "Ho thnt saveth his life shall lose It." Tho party that has no higher purposo than to save Its own life will dlo because It de serves to dlo, If need be, for the snko of a great cnuse, which will live becauso It deserves to live. Who snys that tho money power Is om nipotent and that tho democrotlo party must compromise with It or surrender to It? Not until human nature Is entirely changed cun tho llnanclers be intrusted with tho guardianship of tho producers of wealth; not until greed becomes Just can the money changers construct a system for themselves which will bo fair to nny ono else. A top can bo balanced upon thn point only when It Is In rapid motion, nnd so thp grout flnunclttl structure designed by Wnll street for tho benefit of Wall street will stand upright only ho long ns It can bo kept whirling; tho collapse will como when the speed Is slackened. Who says that wo cannot afford to meas ure strength with tho grent monopolies which now nrrogantly assume to control tho domain of politics na well ns tho field of Industry? Not until we can gather good fruit from an evil tree and figs from thist les cun we expect a prlvnto monopoly to bring forth public blessings. Tho water that hns been poured Into tho stocks of our great corporntlons haa for tho most part bocn drawn from tho ugrlculturnl regions, and tho drouth, that Is suro to follow will teach tho farmer tho meaning of tho trust system. Constitutional Government. ' Must we abandon tho nolf. evident truth thnt governments derive their Just powers from the consent of tho governed? Must we accept Imperialism db an accomplished fact and Join in tho shout for blood and conquest? our republic rests upon solid rock nnd while Its principles nro reversed, It cannot be overthrown from within or from without, but if nil parties Joined to gether to erect nn empire upon American soil they would build upon tbo sand and the edifice eould not endure. It Is a law divine In Its origin, Irreslstable in its force and eternal In Its duration, thnt wrong doing ultimately destroys the wrongdoer ana no nation or combination of nations Is strong enough to evndo or resist retribu tive justice. Hut suppose what no ono should assume id what nn onn can nrnvA ttmt ut,.c.Hfnaf and adherence to democratic principles would result in repeated defeat, Is thero any reason why we should abandon thoso principles and adopt others, or Jiove none nt all? Those who prefer prison fnro or n servile subject's lot to the dangers of the battlefield, may condemn the Hoers for continuing what somo descrlbo as a hopeless strugglo for Independence, but those who can measure the mighty In fluence of grent deeds know that the sturdy Dutchmen of South Africa havo already conferred upon tho world n benefit that cannot bo measurod by money. Their valor has brought greater security to all the republics of the earth; tho bodies of their dead hove built a bulwark behind which tho friends of liberty will fight for centuries. Tho foot that Englabd hus been compelled to employ more than 200,00) soldiers to subjugate less than 25,000 men In arms the fnct thnt England has ex pended moro than $1,000 per Roer nnd has neither been nblo to purchase them nor kill them these fnots are Immeasurably valuable to people everywhere who wnnt freo government for themselves nnd are content that others should enjoy it also. So the democratic party, whether In power or out of power. Is serving mankind when It stands stendfnstly for constitu tional government and Insists thnt that government shnll be administered according to Jcffcrsonlan maxim, "Equal rights to nit and speclnl privileges to none,'" llullillnsr Permits, Tho city building Inspector has Issued tho following permits: 11, P.

C Judge Tuloy In the I Circuit court today dcsllncd to lssuo the 1 Injunction against tho Pullman Palaco Car company asked for by Truman A. Taylor, , who sought to havo that company restrained from purchasing tbo stock of tho Wagner Sleeping Cor company, with 200, 000 shares of Pullman stock. Mr. Taylor's attempt to defeat tho merger took the form of a petition seeklug to en join tho Pullman Palaco Car company from giving to stockholders 'of the Wagner com pany 200,000 shares In tho consolidated con cern, theo being valued at $20,000,000. His action was taken following tho meeting of December B. 1899. when tho Pullman Pnlac Car company agreed to purchase tho Wag- 1 ner company's entire equipment and bust- v ness, to change tho nnmo of tho expanded corporation to tbo 'Pullman company and ,to lncrcnso tho stock from $54,000,000 to I $74,000,000. So many arguments wero ad- , vanced by tho petitioner that Judgo Tuley . felt the need of much tlmo to properly con- ftldcr the matter and has devoted all pos sible attention to It during tho last two years. His decision In almost ovory point Is against Taylor. Taylor alleged that the Pullman peoplo hod no right under the laws of tho nation and tho state to buy the Wagner company. He said that tho com pany was endeavoring to creato a trust and monopoly In tho sleeping and parlor car business of tho country and preparing to limit and reduco tho operation nnd tho number of cars and to regulate prices. He further alleged that tho Wagner company hod not tho right to dlsposo of Its property Under tho laws. of Now York, ob It .would thus dlsablo itself from performing tbo du ties for which It was organlicd. In regard to tho anti-trust arguments made In the petition and enlarged upon by coutiSUl Judgo Tuley held that tho .transaction by which tho two companies becamo one was practically analagous to tho ordinary busi ness transaction of one man buying out the business of another.
