FREELAND, PA., JULY 24, 1890.
A Solution of the Sunday I'roblem.
From a Wilkesbarre contemporary
the following news article has boon
clipped, and wo submit the views ex
pressed therein to the people of this
vicinity, believing that If the employers j
of labor hereabouts would take an in
terest In the subject at Issue and regu
late the working hours of their employes
on the plan outlined in the article givon
below, the question of proper observ
ance of Sunday would soon disappear.
Rev. R. A McAndrews, rector of St.
Mary's church, Wilkesbarre, spoke
briefly oil Sunday on the proper ob
servance on Sunday. lie spoke against
boisterous pleasures such as Sunday
base ball, etc., which detract from the
sacred character and mar the feeling of
reverence for the day on which all
Christians should unite in consecroating
themselves to their Creator.
Father McAndrew said he also real
ized that the poor working people who
toil from morning until night six days
in the week could not bo unduly con
demned If they spent part of Sunday
in pleasure and recreation, and ho be
lieved that Sunday would be more gen
erally observed in the proper spirit if
employers would give half holidays on
Saturday to their help.
110 believed that such a plan would
be oqually beneflcal to employer and
employe, would beget a more cordial
and liberal spirit and moro closely unite
their interests. Also that the holidays
would give the laboring people an op
portunity to enjoy amusement on Satur
day, which they are now forced to look
for on Sunday.
The middle and bettor classos can
enjoy pleasures and amusement almost
any day during the week while the
poorer class have to work, and that on
Sunday while those more fortunatu can
observe the Sabbath in its proper re
ligious sense, they should not forget the
laboring class who have no other day of
recreation, and should endeavor to
make their lot more inviting by provid
ing Saturday holidays. The Sunday
observance problem would then be easily
solved.
The Gallant Seventh.
From the Turanqua Courier.
The action of the Captain Landon. of
the Soventli regiment, National Guards
of New York, in pledging, in a speech
delivered in London last week, the
help of American arms in England
whenever they should be needed, was
ludicrous and demonstrates that the
captain Is indeed the veriest kind of an
arrogant nincompoop.
The gallant Seventh is an excellent
regiment, so far as holiday soldiery goes.
They appear in gaudy uniform bedeck
ed with gold lace, but unfortunately the
dress does not make the soldier. When
the call for troops was mado in the
opening of the Spanish war the heroic
Seventh, by dilly-dallying and squab
ling, Anally cooked up a pretext for not
responding.
Looking at the matter iuipassionally
and without a prejudice it does seem
that the government was exacting when
it ordained that the jaunty Seventh
would be compelled to associate with
other voiunteor regiments made up
from men taken from all walks of life.
It was indeed rank presumption for
the government to infer that the gaudy
Seventh was not, the superior of all
other regiments. To bo brief the
Seventh staid at home and their officers
h;d cotillions while the commanders of
tho despised volunteer regiments were
leading gallant charges.
And now whon the war is over, when
the humiliating possibility of associat
ing witli the common volunteer and in
cidentally the prospects of facing bul
lets are removed, we find the gallant
Captain Landon pledging the help of
American arms to England.
The good people of London before
placing any belief in Captain Landon's
assertion should carefully read up the
record of his gallant regiment.
There seems to be a mutual agree
ment between the leaders of the two
prominent parties In Luzerno county to
stave off tho election preliminaries as
long as possible. No one is finding
fault with this program. In fact, it
appears to suit the average citizen
better than any arrangement that
would embroil him in political discus
sions during the warm season.
PROBLEMS OF THE DAY.
FREEDOM OF THE PEOPLE DEMAND
THEIR SOLUTION.
NecesHltlen of I.lfe I'revall In Abundance,
Hut the of Equitable I)l
trlbutinn Confront* Americans-A Task
for the Statesmen of Our Country.
From the Philadelphia Record.
For novelty and importance the prob
lems now before the people of the
United States have rarely, if evor, been
equaled. Upon a correct solution of
them may depend even the continued
freedom of this people; and to this cor
rect solution there is no past experience
of mankind to guide us. The whole po
litical economy of the world has been
founded upon conditions apparently
permanent, which have apparently as
permanently passed away. Want and
insufficiency of productive power are 1
the spectres which have ever affrighted
mankind. A fear of starvation has
ever been before men's eyes; and with
just cause, for famine has again and
again recurred. As a consequence any
hampering of the fullest, most unre
strained competition and production
lias in times past been made illegal—
even criminal.
A slight relaxation of the efforts and
competition of but, a part of the people
formerly might have meant starvation
for thousands. Through man's ingenuity
and industry, however, this is no longer
the case. The country toeuis with more
than
SUFFICIENT OF EVERYTHING
for everybody; and yet there are often
periods of widespread depression, and
at all times there are many who fail to
grasp, even by faithful toil, the neces
sities of life. And yet tho old political
economy persists—is even intensified.
We do not pretend that we have found
a solution of the novel problems con
fronting us; but we do feel that the lines
upon which statesmen should seek that
solution may easily ho discovered. In
tho first place, tho danger of a deficiency
of production having passed away, the
rules intended to prevent it arc not alone
sufficient to meet the new situation and
difficulties. Merely to shout against the
trusts and the combinations and the crip
pling of competition, and all that, does
not meet the requirements of the case;
whether right or wrong, it is inadequate.
We repeat, there are enough (and may
hap, more than enough) of tho necessi
ties of life, and there is
EVERY PROMISE OF AN INCREASE
of productive power and of surplus;
and yet many are not prosperous even
In prosperous times. It inevitably fol
lows that tho question has ceased to be
one of deficiencies, and has become more
largely one of equitable distribution.
With enough for all industrious people,
how are all to obtain a fair portion?
Certainly not by merely proscribing a
remedy for a deficiency which has ceased
to trouble the patient!
Legislation on tho subject of trusts
is sadly needed—is imperative—if we
are to survlvo as a free people; and yet
it is plain that, it alone will not do, and
that wo could better do without it than
havo any moro of tho foolish and wicked
kind already enacted by many of the
Western states. In some of these states
it lias been provided that the people
may legally
BECOME MORAL THIEVES,
and need not pay for what they have
honestly received if it have merely boon
secured from a very big concern or com
bination. Such legislation will accomp
lish nothing hut the rotting out of the
moral senso of the peoplo.
It Is also far from plain whether the
formation of great concerns—industries,
combinations, what you will—should be
prohibited, or whether tho best course
of the community would not be their
proper regulation. Co-operation be
tween men is not merely civilization —it
is Christianity; and he Is a bold man
who feels that he can safely check it
even though it become wholesale. The
present marvelous prosperity of the
United States eortainly largely comes
from their increasing exports of mer
chandise; and these are as largely made
possible by the, fact that in co-operation
we have so far
HURI'ASSED THE WORLD
that in many lines we can pay better
wages and yet undersell all competitors.
It must bo, thorefore, apparent that a
political party which should carelessly
undertake a solution of this intricate
and novel situation might bring about a
degree of suffering which would hurl it
from power for years.
If legislation should be enacted which
would reduce co-operations to such a
point that our exports of manufactures
alone should be suddenly checked hun
dreds of thousands of prosperous men
might suddenly find themselves out of
work and In want. It even may be
possible that the real argument against
co-operation on a large scale and great
combinations is not at all that they are
in themselves
INDUSTRIAL EVILS,
but that, on the contrary, they aro so
completely perfect from a mere indus
trial point of view that they will, through
their very economical soundness and
without proper legislative regulation,
put such Inordinate powers in the hands
of tho men controlling them as to en
danger the Independence and liberty of
all others and turn tho republic into a
solid oligarchy of wealth.
This is no Idle fear. Legislative cor
ruption grows apace; the franchises of
the people gradually pass from their
control for inadequate or no compensa
tion. because the. trustees of the citizens
share In the profits resulting from their
own disgraceful unfaithfulness. This
has happnnod so often that the people
have become used to it, and scarcely
feel a shock at any new instance of
such baseness.
IF THE DISEASE SHALL GROW,
and a few great concerns control all fc' e
great Industries of the country, what is
to bo the situation of the ordinary citi
zen? llow is ho to secure honest legis
lation?
Take a concern which through Indus
trial consolidation has a capital of, say,
$100,000,000, and which earns 20 per
cent on it, with money at 3 per cent.
It can pay 5 per cent and have 15,-
000,000 of dollars available, if so much
be needed, for contributions to political
parties, or to protect it against the
"communistic attacks" in legislatures
and congress of which we hear so much.
We believe that wo have suggested
tho real, the great dangers of tho situa
tion; and, as we have said, we believe
that the way to avert these dangers Is
not by restraining co-operation at all,
but by wise, carefully thought out regu
lation, howevor difficult of attainment
tlat may bo.
Hut, whatever be the solution, man's
energy and Ingenuity have raised novel
spectres which cast shadows over his
whole future. The strange paradox Is
presented of his ruin, and even enslave
ment, being threatened by his own
greatness of productive power.

■ THE ART OF BATTING "■
Koine Polnte By "Back" lowing Well Worth
the Attention of the lief Inner.
"Buck" Ewlug, the manager of thi
Cincinnati Club, has not bi*n an ac
tlve player In several years, but hi*
duties us manager have obliged him
to keep In close touch with the game,
and he knows as much about batting
as he ever did. When "Buck" was in
his prime he was one of the best bat
ters In the League and one of the best
catchers who ever donned a mask. He
has made a study of the science of but
ting and In the following article gives
much advice which young players
would do well to study carefully, and
many an old League player could bet
ter ills stick work by following bis
ldens. Here they are:
Footwork has as much to do with
successful batting as it has In pugllsm.
A player who steps away from the
plate as he swings at the ball can be
put down as an easy victim for an out
curve, and It Is a pitcher with a very
poor head who does not serve up out
curves in profusion to audi n batter.
Even good batters will get into the
habit of pulling away from the plate,
and at such times they become as easy
victims ns one to whom the fault is
chronic. The old-timer does not con
tinue In that line for long, however,
but regains Ills stride after a short
lapse from grace. He will practice
continually until he overcomes the
fault and gets back to his old style.
To the beginner, however, the con
quering of the linblt is ditlieult. He
has got to lie coached continually In
the forward straight steps. With col
lege players especially is this fault of
pulling away painfully evident, and it
is tile prime reason tlint college play
ers are such notoriously weak batters.
To overcome this fault Is the trainer's
hardest duty, so batting Is almost the
first tiling professional trainers take
up when they take charge of a college
ten in.
A plan which should work effective
ly, and which I shall try whenever I
get the chance to train a lot of ama
teurs, is to have n box built the size
of the regular bntter's box, with the
sides raised high enough to prevent
the player from stepping outside, even
if he tried. Tills would necessitate a
straight, forwanl step and, by con
stant practice, the player would be
come so accustomed to that movement
that he coubl not do otherwise.
This Is 1111 original plan of my own,
and I would like to see It tried by
some of the ninny college coachers.
A great mistake made by many play
ers, hoih professional and amateur, is
to Imagine that they are obliged to
swing fiercely at the ball to make It
trnvel fast and far. There was never
a bigger mistake. The whole secret
of successful hutting Is In timing the
ball so ns to meet it squarely with
force. Professionals call this "Meet
ing the ball." "Just meet It, my boy,"
Is often heard on the lin.ll Held. If you
nre an instant late or an ln.it.<nt too
soon you will lose the driving power to
your blow. It all lies In the step a
iiatter takes In going forwnrd to meet
the ball. If you step In Just nt the
proper time you are reasonably sure to
meet the ball on the nose, and It goes
off the lint with a ringing sound most
pleasing to the old-timer. Blng, and
Its off, and woe betide the inilelder
who may be In front of It. He will
wish he had on cricket pads.
A quick, snappy movement Is often
better than a swing. "Lip" Pike, one
of tile best batters who ever l'ved. had
tills quick wrist movement, and, al
though he apparently mad™ little ef
fort, he made some of the longest hits
on record. By just meeting the ball,
too, a player can master the art of
placing the ball with much greater
ease than by a terrlHc blind swing.
The hitter way Is bound to throw n
man off Ids balance and to get Ills eye
off the bull.
Pitchers are always 011 to the free
swingers or "swlpers," and will change
their pace on such batters, dishing up
slow "lolis" and swift ones In the most
perplexing confusion. If you are pre
pared to swipe at a swift one, and the
pitcher puts up a slow one, you nre off
your balance und cannot get a good
smash at the sphere. If, on tlie other
hand, you arc in a position to lilt either
a fast or slow one, by being ready to
meet it, you can fool the pitcher nearly
every time, and yon will become a .'KM)
p;r cent, batter before you know it.
BUCK EWING.
Scientific Pitchers.
Edward ltanlon became reminiscent
while the Krooklyns were waiting for
the s'enmer Algonquin to snil for the
Hot til.
"I have always studied pitchers
closely," said the noted mantger, "and
1 have yet to see the equal of Keefe
nnd Clnrkson. I think Clarkson was
the brainest pitcher who ever stood In
1 lie I ox. When I was with the cham
pion Detrolts Clarkson used cj have 11s
guessing. He had the most puzzling
slow hall I ever saw and he knew how
to us„ It to perfection. The moment
a batsman stepped to the plate Clark
son would look him In the eye nnd
take ills measure. He seemed to lie
trying to look Into the batsman's
brain. In many Instances he would
pitch up the llrst ball as slow as possl
Ide. The batsman would look for a
fast one after that, but Clarkson
would fool him by tossing up another
slow one just outside of the plate. The
batsmnn, then convinced Mial 11 fast
ball was due, would naturally he puz
zled to see another slow one lobbed
up. If Clarkson thought he had ills
man guessing, he would put a fourth
hall as slow as the others, which gen
erally fooled the batsman Into hitting
at It In desperation. The r.ext time
this same man came to the p.nte, look
ing for more slow ones, Clarkson
would completely upset liMii with
speed and curves. In that way he hud
his opponents completely mystified.
Keefe was almost Clarkson's double,
and Welch was not far behind. Rnd
bournr was another wonderful pitcher.
These men used science In preference
to brute strength, and us a result thev
lasted longer than the avorag.' pltcliei
of the present day.
