Office, U;rkbeck Brick, 3d floor. Centre Street. Entered at the Freeland Postoffice as Second Claes Matter. FREELAND, PA., AUGUST 20, 1891. A RUMOR that Calvin S. Brice, IT. S. Senator from Ohio, would be unseated when Congress opens, was circulated last week. Why Brice should be thrown out of an office which he bought and paid for is something few people can understand. He got there by the same methods as the majority of his colleagues, and until Senators are elected by a popular vote it would bo unjust to dump him, even though his seat is encircled by a boodle wreath. ACCORDING to the census returns nearly one-tenth of the citizens of the United States are communicants or members of the Roman Catholic Church—the number being 6,250,015. Their organizations number over 10,- 000, and they have 8765 church edifices, with a seating capacity of 3,366,633. The value of their church property is $118,381,516. A note to these statistics states that baptized persons below the age of 9 years are not included in the returns. They would probably increase the popula tion of this denomination to more than seven millions. THE Citizens' Republican Associa tion of Pennsylvania has issued an address calling upon all Republicans in the State to unite in the interest of political purity and overthrow the clique which is denominating and dis gracing the party. The address is full of the usual truisms and plati tudes and will, no doubt, afford amuse ment to Quay and his friends. If the party had possessed the virtue empha sized in the document it never would have fallen into the hands of a corrupt clique, and as it is rotten to the core the wail of the Citizens' Republican Association will fall upon barren soil. IT seems that the resignation of Quay will not be followed by any departure from the method by which the Pennsylvania!! carried elections, but it is possible that his successor, Chairman Clarkson, will be less cal lous to public opinion and try to give the coming contest the semblance of legitimate political warfare. He has mourned the fact that the best news papers in the country are against his party and has been rich in sugges tions to restore the partisan balance in the press. But even if he succeeds his chief reliance must be the same old debauchery fund, which is an nually extracted from protected manu facturers. GEOROE JONES, editor of the New York 'J'hues, whose death is regretted as a national loss, was a true example of what the average newspaper man should be. The exposure of the fam ous Tweed gang by him in 1871 was a most fearless act, and few men would refuse the bribe of $5,000,000 offered him to keep silent and sup press the publication of the evidence which finally placed that crowd in jail. Again in 1884 he asserted his inde pendence and cast off the Republican yoke, because he could not consisten tly support protection. The course of the paper, which upholds free trade and the taxation of land values, will continue the same. NOTWITHSTASDISQ all the talk that is from time to time floated around con cerning the objections and alleged antipathy of the farmers to Cleveland, one of the eminently intelligent and conservatively correct men in the South has recently stated that conver sations with the farmers of that sec tion have brought him to the convic tion that they will not have any one else for President except Cleveland. Traits which have alienated the pro fessional politicians from him are just what the farmers most approve. With no little force they say that he has been tried, and they know what sort of man he is. Their view of it is cer tainly reasonable and sensible. CARROI. D. WRICUIT, National Com missioner of Labor, is using a large force to collect statistics of prices and wages, to bo used by the Senate Tarifl Investigating Committee. Every as su ranee is given that the investigation will be non-partisan, and yet it is al most past human belief that anything connected with this question can be conducted in a manner entirely free from offensive partisanship under the present administration. Porter's cen sus work, which is the most unrelia ble contract ever done under govern ment auspices, is fresh in the minds of the public, and few will believe thai Wright's statistics will be any mors trustworthy. The idea of telling people they are all rich and flourish ing when starvation and pauperisn can bo seen everywhere is too mucl for even Americans, much as tliej love to be humbugged. IN the New York World of Sunday las Ella Wheeler Wilcox has a beautifu eighteen-verse poem, entitled "WeWan No Kings." No doubt this talented poetess voices the genuine America! feeling on the subject, hut it will requirr something stilfor than classic poetry tc abolish kings in this country, especially throughout the anthracite coal regions, where these uncrowned personages rnlt professed freemen far more tyrannically than the Czar does his cringing serfs. HANLON'S VICTORIOUS CLUB. Freeland at Catasauoua, August 22. Tamaqua at Freeland, August 23. MM Freeland won its sixth straight victory ou Sunday afternoon by defeating the Scranton Club. The game demonstrated I that the home team does not belong to I the class in which the visitors are rank j ed, as they o'utbatted, outfielded and ! played all around the Electric City folks. I After being out of the box for some time Welch was put in to do the twirling and Heffron attended to the other end of the battery. Both were in good condition and worked as systematically as clock work. The hits made off Welch were well scattered, except in the second inning, when three singles gave Scranton I an earned run. A wild throw and aj ; blocked ball let in another in the fourth, j , but from then to the end of the game 1 they failed to pass second base. Free- j land slugged the ball in their usual style, | compelling Murphy to take Mulderig's position in the sixth. The change was ' of little benefit, as four runs were scored in the next three innings. Boyle and j McGarvey did great work in the field. 1 ! Following is the score: FREELAND. SCRANTON. K.H.O.A. E.

The score on August 1 was 4 to 3, which was a very creditable showing against Free land, and had they let matters rest they would have had a better record to-day . But feeling that there was a chance for victory they imported a new pitcher from tVatsontown named Weidenhamer, and had Ketrick, one of Scranton's catchers, to hold him. Their prospects I of coming out best disappeared after the | . first two innings, when Freeland batted three singles and two doubles, scoring eight runs. This demoralized the whole team and Rothermal tried to save the j game by going in the box in the third. It was no use, however, as they could ! neither field or hit. Anderson and Brady were in elegant trim, and Lehigh ton struck at the ball on suspicion, trust ing to luck that they might accidentally hit it. They couldn't, as the following score will show: FHEEI.AND. I.EBIGHTON. H. H.O. A. E. 11. H.O.A. E.

That it will be a har-i contest goes without quest.and maqua is going to be t.retatrc for ,t Joe Gormley. the crack pitcher f::m Lansford, and Fulmer. for many years with Baltimore Association Ciub.'vriii do the battery work for the visitors, while j our own smiling Tommy Anderson, with ; tiie assistance of Coacher Brady, will officiate for Freeland. It will be a hot j contest from the start and no base hall i enthusiast can afford to miss it. Game j called at 3.30 P. M. and admission as | j usual. I I I I At Catasauoua on Saturday afternoon there should he played one of the best games of the seasen, as the club of that place and Freeland seem about equally j matched this year. Both are sweeping j everything before them, and both will j make unusual efforts to win the game. Catasauqua last year defeated Freeland , 1 at Glen Gnoko by a score of U to o—the i first and only sfiut out ever received. The probable batteries ror Saturday are I Welch and Heffron and Kiernan and \ I Gilbert. I I I The audience enjoyed nothing better j on Sunday last than to see Steve strike out Tiglie twice in succession. He would | have given anything to hit the ball and j thereby uphold the reputation as a batter , made when he was in Drifton. Freeland will make a tour through the State about the second week in Septem ber, playing at Danville, Chambcrshurg, Williamsport, Scranton, Reading, and } possibly at Riverton and Cape May, N.J. I Freeland has nine won and five lost, j j Lehighton, Scranton and Wilkes-Barre I I —the representative clubs of their res-1 j pective counties—have each been de- j j feated twice by Freeland. In the fourteen games Freeland Club | lias played it made 118 runs and the | opposing clubs made 8(1. | Wilkes-Barre was defeated by Dan ville, 11 to 7, on Friday, and Scranton was done up, 10 to 1, by Reading, the | same day. j Jeancsville has a new pitcher named ! McPliearson. He came from Easton. I Freeland does not lay any claims upon j J the State championship, but is anxious 1 to contest with the clubs which thinks ■ . j they own that title. I Manager Parry, of the Jeanesville Soapines, wants a game with the Tigers, j The latter would prefer to hear from the 1 regular Jeanesville Club, j Freeland has knocked a pitcher out of ; the box in every one of the past four i games. They may not be heavy hitters, ■ but Swoyer, Devlin, Weidenhamer and : Mulderig think different. ! At Wilkes-Barre to-morrow afternoon the Young Americans, of I'ittston, and the Senators, of l.arksville, will play for , 1 8100 and the gate receipts. ; | Manager Gallagher and Directors Hig , gins and Ferry, of the Tigers, interview f I Jim Murtne at the New York grounds ■ i Saturday afternoon. They tried to in ! (luce the New York manager to bring i his team to Freeland and play an ex , i hibition game. Jim stated if lie wins , the League pennant he might muster up enough courage to tackle the Tigers. I I I , Secretary Dalmasse, of the Charles . Livingston Club, Philadelphia, wishes to arrange a game with Freeland for some 1 , \ date in September. In fact, he is very i j desirious of having his team meet the , j local or any other club in this section of ' | the State. Perhaps Manager Hanlon , ! will accommodate him. Ilia address is | 1143 Passyunk Avenue. 11l The editor of the amateur column of I the Prm says: "I would like to see some of the strong so-called amateur teams of this city, such as Tacony, A. C. S. N. and Riverton play some of the up- State teams, such as Demorest, Cliam bersburg and Freeland. The games would lie intensely interesting, and j would draw well wherever played." [ 111 I Reading was defeated yesterday by ! the Athletics by a score of 4to 2. Fox pitched and only five hits were m'ade oIT j him. Chamberlain, for the Athletics, j was knocked out of the box in the fifth inning, and was succeeded by Hallman. i Reading got nine hits, but lost through j their six errors. I I I Freeman, of Wilkes-Barre, is carried along on the Washington pay-roll, al- i though he has pitched only a few games j since he signed. His illness has pre- j vented him from showing what is in him, j but he will be heard from before the season ends. "Buck" receives $l5O per month, and prefers that to half-time at the Murray shaft, where he got sl.lO a day. I I I Jennings is playing ball like a veteran for the Louisville Club. Scarcely a day passes in which lie fails to distinguish himself at the bat or by his short stop work. The managers see in him one of the coming men of the profession, and have signed him for 1892 at a salary of S3OOO. That is something better than knocking bis brains out around the j mines, and, by the way, there are more ; "Jennings" around here if base ball ! magnates wish to hunt them up. i i i The Tigers went to Mauch Chunk on ; Saturday and played a good game with j the club of that place. They came off victorious with a score of 3 to 2. Other games on Saturday were : Sewers, of Highland, 3; Sandy Run, 0. Weatherly, 11; Upper Lehigh, 7. Mt. Carmel, 12; Ashland, 10. Ash land, 17; Mt.
