tho presence in our midst of three

of other sports. Tho announcement
made in the Post last week that
there would be two games here at

town aud the old fair grounds pre
sented a scene of activity aud en
thusiasm during tho entire day. At

The Labor Problem Solved.
The ree nt lab or trouble is per
plexing philanthropists and social
reformers. It is evident that some
c.h luge in the present social system
or in the laws of the nation must be
in 1 lo in order to avoid these sharp
conflicts between labor and capital.
E Iward Bellamy, s mio years ago,
wrote his book, "Looking Back
ward." In this work, he tells his
readers what kind of a social sys
tem he would like to se) in : .
His scheme works well enough in
theory, but in practice it must
prove to be a dismal failure. Bell
amy would put all the instruments
of production in the h inds of the
common government. No moiiev
would b.) used as none would be ne
cessary uu.ler lus .system. Every
111 111 must 111 ike a fresh start in the
world and his success will depend
upon his energy 11 nd economy. At
deith his inheritance will be turned
into the hinds of the government.
These are a few of the m my cli:iu
gs Bjlliimv an 1 some of his as-.o
ciates suggest for improving the -.0
cial system.

Tho Selinsgrovo team was
streugthend by the Ritter brothers
of Liverpool. Tho New Berlin team
offered no protest to allowing the
Hitters to play as catcher an 1 1st
baseman respectively. The New
Berlin men havo boon playing base
ball long euough to know th it they
must expect to meet such combina
tions. The spectators saw that the
toaius wero iiow evenly mated aud
tho anticipations for a warm and
losely contested game were not in
tho least frustrated. Ritter, the
catcher, is oue of tho best and most
popular players in tho state outside
of tho State League and Philadel
phia Clubs. Mr. Ritter on Saturday
stood second m tho J'rt.i.i voting
contest as the most popular amateur
player in tho state, and for several
days ho stood first. His friends have
over 2iM, votes lying back yet and
those cast already aggregate nearly
11,000. Duriug tho game Hitter's
catching was a most interesting fea
ture. Bolig's pitching for Selins
irrove was by no means to bo des-
nised. However tho ljug contin
uance of the game tired him some
what. Tho team from Snyder's
metropolis is composed of players
small in stature, but enthusiastic
workers for the goal. Now Berlin's
manliness in facing this toam do-
servos more than passing notice.
They are all steady, plucky players
and put up a strong game. alkor s
pitching all through tho game fully
proved that ho was equal to the
emergency. Tho team is composed
entirely of geutloiueu who know tho
value of fair and honorable dealing
and at no timo did they allow their
love for wiunipg to run away with
their bettor luasriuent. llie score
of iuuiugs is as follows :
Selinsgrove, 2 0 0 1 I) 1 0 0 0 0 x-1
New Berliu, 0 2 0 0 0 0 2 0 l) 0 x -1
Tho score indicates full well how
carefully tho game was played. Tho
eleventh inning had already boguu.
Throo of the Seliusgrovo men wero
ou bases. The third striko was call
od on tho batter who started for
1st baso. The catcher failed to hoh
the ball, but picked it up, stepped
on homo plate aud throw it to tho
1st baseman beforo tho ruunor ar
rived. A dispute aroso ns to wheth

The 1 ibor party his its merits
ind the capitalists have their right-.
To con leiuu tho oue at the expense
of theother is unjust and unreason
able. Tlie most i'tl'ec.tu il Wiiv of
bringing ab ut a change that will
bcuetit both at the cip.msc of neith
er party is to cultivate more sym
pathy between the two. Lib iriug-
uicu can not live without the capi
talists and tho latter cm not pros
per without the assistance of the
former. Tho two classes are as
mutually dependent upon each oth
er as tho knife an 1 fork at tho dinner-table.
Tho knife can not cut
without tho fork mid the fork is
useless without tho knife. With
more sympathy between these war
ring elements, the interests of both
will be enhanced. If the wages paid
by tho capitalist aro not satisfactory
to workiugnieu, the laborer has the
privilege of withdrawing his services,
but ho is not entitled to the right
of preventing others from working
who wish to comply with tho capi
talists' terms. As each individual
has rights, sj each h.H duties.
Rights, 011 tho ono hand, brlug du
ties on tho other. As long as one
party fails to respoct tho rights of
tho other, so long will this conten
tion contiuuo. Whon tho money
power inherits a soul that can feel
for and sympathize with its subjects
aud when tho labor power of this
country can understand tho perplex
ities of a capitalist, thou and not till
thou, will strife bo allayed. This to
us scorns to bo tho only correct in
terpretation of tho enigma which
has so long baillod solution.
