Tomorrow afternoon nt 3 o'clock the voice
of Umpire Knight will mingle with that of
the dickey blrdi , as ho commands the
Omaha.nnd Mllwaukcos to play ball. H xvlll
bo the opening championship game of ' 01 ,
nnd , owing to the fact of the intense feeling
existing between these two teams by reason
of the Growers' disgusting familiarity with
the Onmhas last season , It Is doubtful If such
another conflict will take place atMuCormlck
park during the entire sca on.
The day will bo celebrated by nn open nlr
concert nt tlio park previous to the game , tlio
programme beginning nt 2 and ending nt ! l
o'clock , It was the intention to have n grand
parade through the streets , but some of the
boys nro superstitious. They fcur n parade
Will 11OUUUU UIUIIJ , 11I1U .UUIIU UI OIIUUUUII uua
decided on 11 concert instead.
There never was moro nnliiiatod Interest
manifest in the local team than that which
exists today , and the prospects for tomorrow
tire extremely bright. Every seat in both
grandstand and bleachers should bo occu
pied , for If Omaha baseball patrons wish to
boo good ball they should uncourugo both
management and players by their attendance.
Ulg crowds onhaflco the enjoyment of n game
mi hundred fold , and often linvo the clTcet of
metamorphosing what would otherwise hnvo
been n poor contest into a brilliant one.
Omnhu bus toduv probably the finest
aggregation of ball players that has ever rep
resented her , and nothing will aid them so
materially in achieving great things as the
plaudits of the public. In addition to the ex
traordinary playing strength of the team , it
is composed of gentlemen who will deport
themselves us such nlways , on or off the
field. Manager Shannon Is a shin-
inc example for his men. Uright
nnd intelligent In u high degree ,
n good talker , well dressed , courteous nnd af
fable , and with an Irrepressible prid in tlio
Individual standard of his men. Ho is u
strict disciplinarian , a perspicacious man
ager and a man who will got the very best
kind of work out of the team. The best of
feeling now prevails within the ranks , and If
U continues , will prove n most potent factor
in their success. Each man is ambitions to
* xcol , which is another good sign , nnd as
Manager Shannon said last night , If 1)103' ) nro
BO unlucky as to lese the oponlnir game with
Milwaukee , it will cut no flcuro in their
work of the day following. They will only
iird up their loins the lighter , nnd co in
ngnin more determined than ever , nnd will
maintain tills aggressive spirit until victory
porches upon their banner.
There U ono notable feature about the
Omaha team. It Is composed of about as
cool and collected n lot of players as could
uuvo uccn wen KOUCII
seems to perturb them , as was clearly dem
onstrated in the opening game with Lincoln.
In the second Inning , after the Farmers had
chased six runs across the plate , they were
ns undisturbed and nonchalant us if they had
themselves done the chasinir.
"That don't count , " remarked "Old Cy"
Sutcllffo , without as much us n wrinkle of
the lace , "we'll bout 'cm yet ; watch us in
the next Inning. "
And , sure enough , in the next inning the
Lambs cnmo in with gore in their eyes , and
before Mr. Hoach could realize what had hap
pened they had knocked out nn oven half
ilo/.on runs nnd were once moro in the load.
And yet tlio Llncolns won the Kntno , but
tbo boys didn't seem to worry n bit , only
looked upon It ns n scratch , as their three
straight subsequent victories Justified.
The fact that they have what is generally
regarded as the stoutest team hi the Western
association for their adversaries in tbo
initial championship contest has not raffled
the spirits of the Lambs hi the slightest
degree. Hut It Is acting rather ns n stimu
lant. They nro nil eager nnd anxious for the
fray to bo on , nnd had they the power to
name wbo their opponents should bo , it
would unquestionably bo the Brewers.
It's an old score they have to settle , nnd
they will exert every nerve nnd fibre and
sinew to settle It tomorrow afternoon.
Hero Is the way the two teams will take
the field :
Omaha Shannon , second base ; Twitchcll ,
pitcher ; Unlligan , right field : Sutclinu , loft

uiturnl tendency of any professional game is
downward , and'wlthout strong , fearless con

man and woman who tolls.
The president continues by saying that ho
looks with grout confidence to 'tho develop
ment of reciprocal trade with Central and
South America , and the removal of European
restrictions on our wheat and cattle. No
effort and none of the powers vested in tbo
executive would bo left unused to secure the
end which is so desirable.
In regard to the silver question bo said :

thiin over believe In blmctallsmind favor

currency that Is compatible with the main
tenance of the parity of the gold and .silver

A letter from Secretary of Agriculture
Husk was read , in which ho suggested that
prominence bo given to these questions
uffouting the agricultural Interests of the
country , for ttio reason that a prosperous
agricultural condition would insure pro-
pspenty In other branches of industry.
M. H. DoYouncr , of San Francisco sent a
naner on irrigation.
Senator Porter of Kansas wrote , expressing
the hone that the congress would result in
bringing the people of the west and south
into closer social and commercial relation.
Charles Francis Adaim of Boston wrote
that while ho recognized the hardships of the
present situation In the west , ho did not be
lieve any except individual action was neces
sary for n remedy. With the very general
popular idea that the government is the
grand paternal do nil to protect every one
and everything and provide remedies for
every ill that the body politic Is subject to ,
Mr Adams dee not sympathise. "On the
contrary , " savs ho , "I am "so nntiquuteu in
opinion as to think that the world is
governed altogether too much and that
it rarely has been governed so much erse
so bidly : as it has been in this country within
the last twenty-llvo yours. If the people ore
loft nlono thev will worif out their salvation
n great ueai quicKer unit inoro satisfactorily
than while tlio
government incessantly en
cumbers them witb its woll-mount'but ill-
advised assistance. " Mr. Adams did not bo-
licvo there was any general business mid
agricultural depression except that duo to
natural mid temporary causes ; that ho did
not believe any legislation required. Ho
thinks improved transportation by land and
water would provide for itself under the
laws of supply and domanil If the govern
ment does not continually meddle with
it. Western products would find markets
soon enough if ttio government would Icuvo
the matter sovcrclp alone. The great trouble
with the currency is the excessive tinkering ,
and if the government would leave it nlono
the internal currency of the country would
regulate it-self Just as perfectly us the inter
national currency docs. The manufacturing
interests of the country always have been
successfully promoted by individuals when
the government had left it alone , and every
interference of the government from the beginning -
ginning to tbo McKinley bill has been detri
mental to HID public interest. The irrigation
of arid InnUs is settling Itself in Idaho and
Colorado and other states , whoso
governments leave it alono. The
fewer commercial laws wo have the
better , and if there wore no commercial laws
the community would bo far more prosperous
than it is. The interference of the govern
ment with irrigation has been uniformly
mischievous. Business combinations and
trusts were dangerous to those inside of
thorn , mid if loft nlouo by the government
would work nothing but good unless pur-
verted to some purpose opposed to the laws
of trade , In which case they inevitably ,
sooner or later , bring about the ruin
of these concerned in them. The Indian
question nml ttio opening of Indian lands has
been brought Into Its present unfortunate
condition by government interference and it
knows no way of getting it out of the snarl.
II. 1C. Thurbor of Now York , writing on
"Husiness Combinations and Trusts , " said
thov were caused by sharp competition.
Tlioir effects were bonelicial to the producer
and consumer. The aggregation of capital ,
skill and experience in almost every branch
of business is for the host Interest of the
musses ,
A paper was read from John V , Fnrwell of

known whether ho Intends coming to Chicago
or whether iinyono will bo deleirated to rep
resent the Missouri Pacific nt the conference.
The failure to secure u quorum is regarded
in railway circles as a pretty safe indication
tlmt Jny Gould bus decided to sinush the
ngrccment. A prominent railroad man wild
this afternoon that the Importance of the
Western Tralllc association had been exag
gerated from the start. U was not nil what
the presidents nimod at when they mot in
Now York. It would not do to acknowledge
failure , so thev patched up nn impracticable
agreement , which is too weak to support
itself. It is true rates have been better j ; I
