President James Whitfield of the Westorn
llaso Hall lcaguo came to Omaha early yes
terday morning Bn flung to tho breoio his
banaor of. deflaneo to th9 American associa
tion. 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. I know lota of peoplo who
would llko to havo thoso holding at that
price. ,
"As a matter of fact, Itourko baa tho
' wholo thing his way bore, If ho only know
It, and bo had better stick. 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. Nelthor
can ho dlsposo-of that Western lcaguo fran
chise without our consent.
' "Hlckoy will havo a might bard time
coming In this town lu two ways, ovon If
bo buys, Ilourko's plaoo, and If ho don't
that will mnko thrco. First, this franchlso
matter cannot be dodged so easily. Itourko
holds tho American lcaguo franchlso for
Omaha', signed by thoso men. Ho has noti
fied, thorn that ho will tako tho matter to
tho courts If they try to glvb some other
party tho franchise. They wll! havo to ro
sor't to litigation before they can do any
thing. lltnokllst lor 1'lnycrs.
"Then In. tho'mattor of rloyors Hlckey'a
wholo association of clubs Is up against It.
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.
Tho circular-was of date of January 2 last
aud was stated o bo for tho purposo of
setting at rent tho minds of Western
-r-lx.'ftKUc magnates on this matter of their
reaorved men signing away elsewhere. It
quoted 'section 3, artlclo 27 of tho national
ngrcoment of minor leagues, stntlng that
players held under rosorvo by tho clubs of
thoBQ leagues would bo disqualified It they
transferred outside tho lengue without tho
written consent of tho president of tho
club, or clso without paying a certain sum
for rcleaso, ranging from 1300 to $1,000,
according to tbo class their club stood In.
"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. I go to Chlcngo tonight to participate,
in nnmn lmsn ball mnnoouvers
ivnnsns iuyi vu, iiu, wu uru uui wurr-

I'll go and' Jump, off tho Hnnnlbul bridge.

tho first game of ovcry series the team

IIIeke Culls Urn I Off,
T. J. Hlckey came In from St, Joseph at
noon yesterday and spent tho afternoon
with Mr. Ilnndlo and contractors looking
over proposod sites and getting estimates
on tho cost of improvements. Ho did not
hear from Mr. Rourke until Into In tho aft
ernoon. About 5 o'clock W. A. Itourko told

visitor had not yet reached tho city and
would not bo horo until Wednesday.
"Then you cannot glvo an nnswer to

"Not until after I have seen this party
who U coming," answered Rourke.
"Then wo might as woll call tho deal

president.
"All right," assented RonrV.e, ond tho

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 will put in a
stand "whoro my patrons will bo comfortablo
nnd will glvo Omaha tho bost ball that has
been bad horQ. slnco tho days of Danny Shan
non's Lambs. 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. It lookB now like a fight to the
finish."

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,'"

REFUSES THE INJUNCTION
,
Court Does Not Restrain Pnllnuin
Company from PnrehasliiK Wiir
ner Stock with lis Shnres,
CHICAGO, Jan. 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.
