OlHco, Birkbeck Brick, 3d floor. Centre Street. Entered at the Freeland Postoffice at Second Class Matter. FREELAND, PA., AUGUST 13, 1891. BY the death of William T. Croas dale on Sunday, after a short illness, the single taxers of the United States lost one of their ablest leaders. His writings upon the questions of taxa tion and finance during the past few years attracted considerale attention. At the time of his death lie was editor of the New York (Henry George's) Standard, and Chairman of tho Na tional Committee of the Single Tax League. EX-PRESIDENT CI.EVELVND occasion ally appears at public gatherings and entertains bis bearers with short ad dresses upon different subjects. Of course there is nothing remarkable nbout that. Thousands of other men do the same thing, yet not one of them can command the widespread attention accorded to Grover. Every word he utters is reported from Maine to California, and if by chance be touches upon politics the whole army of Republican editors is thrown into confusion. They betray their nervous fear of him in every line they write, and tho nomination of this fearless statesman will put the Republican : party on the defensive in the cam paign of 1892. Tns Republican party heaved a deep sigh of relief when the resigna tion of Quay was announced. The party is to be congratulated upon being released from the power of this man, who lias done more to contami nate politics than all the politicians since the institution of the republic. But the Republican party has another and greater task before it. To com mand and retain the respect of voters it must cleanse itself of Quay methods, with which it is at present polluted. It was impossible for it to remain un der the leadership of an acknowledged thief and perjurer without partaking of his nature, und now, since the G. O. P. is rid of Quay, it must abolish every form of Quayism. PROVISION has been made for the landing of sixteen Russian Hebrews who had arrived at Boston in a desti- j tute condition and were detained there as liable to become a public charge. They had, in fact, been deprived of their homes in Russia, and, in consid-1 eration of this fact, they are to be ad mitted to this country, provided secur ity is entered in the sum of $2500 for each family or SIOOO for an individual, conditioned upon their not becoming ! a public charge. It is understood that the Jewish societies will furnish the bonds and look after the unfor- j tunate immigrants until they shall lie able to care for themselves. Nothing is said about tho term during which the bond is to run, but presumably after the immigrant has become a citizen of this country by naturaliza tion his security will be released. THE convention of Republican State Clubs, to be held at Scranton in a few weeks, promises to furnish more fun for tho Democrats. Congresman- Senator Jack Robinson wants to be President of this League, and through the executive committee has sent out an order which debars all clubs organ ized this year from taking part in the convention. This move of the wily Delaware County politician re sulted in a hopeless division of the clubs, and the Philadelphia Press ad vises the new organizations to send their representatives to Scranton, j where, if they are refused admittance, | they can hold a bigger convention than the other faction. In the mean time the Democrats are pulling to gether with a unanimity never before equalled, and are gaining strength every day through Republican dis sensions. Wliut Experience Proves. It has required many years of experi ence to convince advertisers that the newspaper is the only medium through which an adequate and certain return for their money is assured. The acqui sition of this knowledge lias cost the ad vertisers of the country hundreds of thousands of dollars. The lessons of ex perience were expensive, but as it was the only school in which they could be learned, the cost is not to be deplored. Shrewd advertisers now realize that through the newspapers alone can they reach the people. There is little doubt that the recent example of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company in resolving to abandon all forms of advertising except through newspapers of known value will be fol lowed by other advertisers. The Penn sylvania Railroad Company experiment ed for several years to ascertain the best medium for reaching the public. The newspaper advertisement was found to reach more people for alessexpenditure of money than any other medium, and hence it will hereafter be exclusively used. The results of the experiments of the great railway company are worthy the attention of all advertisers. The fact that after a full and fair test of posters, hangers, calendars, cards and sign hoards as advertising mediums, the com pany discovereil that they produced smaller returns and were more expen sive than newspaper advertising, should he appreciated by the most obtuse user of printer's ink. The Pennsylvania knows a real good thing. A Boston dispatch in to-day's Record states that Ben Butler died while out yatching. BASE BALL. Freeland at Leliighton, August 15. Scranton at Freeland, August 16. I I I The Freeland Club played ball at Wilkes-Barre on Saturday in a style that would have set the local enthusiasts wild if the game had taken place on the home grounds. They never went on a field with more confidence and led off at a winning gait that was kept up until the contest ended. They played with a dash and vigor seldom before equalled, and their team work at the bat and in the field was remarkable. Wilkes-Barreans certainly were given by Freeland the prettiest exhibition of ball playing they have had for many a day. Devlin was pitted against them and it was worth the trip to the county seat to see the smile which crept across the countenances of lfanlon's men when they saw him in the box. "Chicken" sent the second ball which came over the plate out be tween short and second for a safe hit. went to second on Brady's sacrifice and scored on Welch's single. O'Hara's optics went in good condition and his three-bagger brought Welch home. Bachntan's single took O'Hara in and he followed 011 McGarvey's safe hit. Ileffron was thrown out at first and McGeady (lied out, retiring the side. Freeland was anxious to get to the bat again and after allowing Wilkes-Barre one hit came in to pile up a few more runs. I I I Anderson took first on four balls and McGeehan struck out. Anderson went to third on Brady's two-base hit and scored on a passed ball. Welch's single brought Brady in and the former scored on O'Hara's safe hit and Feisler's error of Bachman's hit. O'Hara came home on a passed ball and Bachman did the same on McGarvey's single. Heffron sacrificed, giving another base to Met iar vey.who scored on a wild throw to third. McGeady and Anderson took their bases on balls, the former scoring on McGee han's hit. Another passed ball let in two more runs. Brady and Welch took first on called balls and trotted home on O'Hara's two-bagger, but the hitter was caught on the line between second and third and Freeland took the lield again. That is how they won the game and rubbed the defeat in so deep thatWilkes- Barre will probably never efface it. Goeckel, the wonder from the Buffalo College, took Devlin's place after the ; slaughter. He had some contrary balls and his south-paw contortions were very menacing, but the boys followed Bach man's style, who led off with a grass cutter to right field, and they touched him up for six hits in as many innings. I I I The remainder of the game was marked by the brilliant fielding of the visitors, who played an errorless game on the diamond, their only misplny being Brady's wild throw to third. An derson was very effective when men were on bases and pitched good ball. Feisler's work at short, Brady's base stealing anil coaching, and the all-around fine playing of Freeland changed what might have been a dull game into an in teresting and exciting struggle. The fact that this game was to decide the championship made the victory so much i sweeter. I I I Following is the score : FREELAND. WILKES-HAKHK. R. H.O. A. E. R. 11. O.A. E.

I They are entirely too modest to comply ' with the request of the Press, Scranton is the attraction for next Sunday. This club has been very anx ious to have another game with Free land, having been defeated here once this season by a very close score. The manager writes that he will come with a winning team. Freeland has five lost and seven won. South Kaston will play two games at Jeanesville on Saturday. The Soapies play against Milnesville on Saturday at the Hnrleigh grounds. The Franklinville Club, of Pliiladel j phia, failed to show up on Sunday, j If money can bring them the Ath letics, of Philadelphia, will be seen here when the Association season is ended. The Tigers play at Mauch Chunk with the club of that place on Saturduy. Danville is making a tour of the State. They play at Wilkes-Barre to-morrow and Saturday, and will be here in a few weeks. Freeland will measure its strength again with Lehighton on Saturday. The Never Sweats, of Kckley, would like to arrange a game with the Tigers. Wilkes-Barre is the rankest town in the county for a visiting club to play ball in. The treatment Freeland received on Saturday was a disgrace to the city. At Drifton Park Sunday afternoon the Young America Club, of Ilazleton, was shut out by the Tigers in a well-played game. Only one hit was made off Bris- Un. Score Bto 0. I I I j Shenandoah has three clubs, and from j | the records made by them on Saturday ! i it would be a good idea to consolidate j and organize from the various players one that could win a game.

I I I Jennings stands third in Association , short stops and is playing a game that : brings the highest praise from the critics in every city where he appears. In [ Sunday's Pra w he is spoken of as follows: Louisville may have a death grip on the [ last place, but the past few weeks has demonstrated one thing—that it has the coming short stopof the country in Hugh . Jennings. He was practically an amateur when he joined the club, hut by conscien tious work he has advanced to the front ranks, and now is one of Louisville's favorites. He goes after any and every '■ thing, and covers as much territory as ; | any short stop in the country. He is I also extremely handy with the hat, and there is not a more reliable hitter in the club. Jennings attended school last year on money borrowed from his brother, and since he joined the Louisville Club he has been sufficiently frugal to enable him to return it. He not only tries to attain the highest round in the ladder.of base ball fame, but when not on the dia mond he devotes himself to improving his mind. I I I Scranton last Thursday got three singles off Goeckel, of Wilkes-Barre, who was hit with ease by Freeland, and on Saturday the best amateur club in Philadelphia, the Highlands, could not I touch Swoyer, of Reading, who was knocked clean out of the box by Free- | land. The home club Ijas little mercy j for any pitcher's reputation when they j wear their batting clothes. —James Russell Lowell. ex-Minister to Spain and England, and Geo.
