Dave Orr has been reinstated by Brook lyn. Burdock, of the Brooklyns, now bats left handed. Hornuso and Radbourne, of Boston, are for sale. Krock seems to be Chicago's only reliable winning pitcher. Sam Wise, of Boston, has been relegated to substitute duty. Friel is considered the best sprinter in the Central League. The . Bostons lost but two games out of eighteen successive ones played. Ewixg, of New York, has so far this season caught more games than Bennett, of the Detroits. Through sacrifice hitting Toronto wins many games, and through lack of it Syra cuse loses many. Boston can boast of being the only city to support a professional team since lb70 without a break. Morrill's twenty put-outs at first base is the best League and Association record for 1888 in a nine-inning game. Maroon is a color no baseball player likes. Borne of the greatest failures were scored by teams who wore the maroon. I.v the fourth and fifth inninss of a recent game at New York Buflintou pitched seven balls upon which he retired six men. In sliding to second, third-baseman Kirby, of the Lima (Ohio) Club, sustained an injury to his leg which will cripple him for life. Pfeffek, of Chicago, has had more chances and accepted more this season than any other second baseman in the business. President Von der A he, of .St. Louis claims that he has had an oiler of '2T,000 for the release of King, Robinson and Captain Comiskey. Anson reluctantly admits that if tho pennant is lost to Chicago, as now seems ex tremely probabl., it will be through the loss of Clarkson end iCel'y. Pittsburg's new find, Beckley, hit safe in every one of eighteen consecutive games played up to a recent date, and failed once in the last twenty-two games. Bobby Matthews was knocked out of tho box by a country club the other day. Galvin is now the only one of the old-timers still in the ring and holding his own. Samuel Hainbrook, a prominent mer chant of Kinkaid, Kan., essayed to umpire a game of ball recently, aud was struck on the temple by a pitched ball and killed. Boston has played 22 different players this .season; Chicago, IS ; Detroit, 22 ; Indian lapolis, 17; New York, 20; Philadelphia, HU; Pittsburgh 1U; Washington, 1U; total, 147. Pittsburg invested $14,000 in new players Jthis season, including $4000 for the release of jDunlap, $a500 for Maul, $4000 for the release ;of Beckley and JStaley, and $1000 for Sunday. ! The steamer upon which the Spalding combination is to sail from San Francisco to Australia will be fitted up with a net cage so that cricket and baseball can be practised on deck whenever the weather will permit. There have been forty-three shutouts in the American Association. Cleveland has been blanked ten times, Kansas City, eight times, Brooklyn seven times, Cincinnati five 'times, Louisville and Baltimore four times, Athletics three times, and tho Browns twice. In the Chicago-Pittsburg series of twenty games eight home runs were scored, of which the Gas City team scored 0 and Anson's men only 2. The Alleghenies also made 2G runs, '31 hits and 14 errors to the 21 runs, 27 hits and 10 errors recorded to ex champions. NATIONAL LEAGUE RECORfV. Fame o Club. Wot. ,.-? New York .

The average family of a workingman ia five, There are now nearly 5,000,000 organized wage workers in the land. GlRLS are pmnlovpd n shinclfl nfiofcors in the mills at Bay City, Mich. One man, generally a Mexican, attends to 20;)0 sheep on Western ranches. The K. of L. co-operative watch-case mill at Brooklyn employs 100 hands. In Philadelphia 4310 houses have been built, against ::tJ70 last year at this date. A.v immense car factory to employ 2300 men is to be built at Duluth, Mich. The telegraph operators are preparing to form another national organization. Nearly 450 girls and women are employed around the Omaha (Neb.) mines, many them at night. The Knights of Labor have sent out an organizer to Australia to establish the order in that country. The average earnings of all the manufac turing and mining operatives in this country is $1.02 per day. Sailors at Chicago, through their union, have secured an advance of fifty cents j.er day in their wages. There are fifty co-operative stores in New England under the management of tho Sover eigns of Industry. The Italian coral fishery seems to be giving out. The 4000 workmen who used to be em ployed have decreased to 10J0. One steel firm at Pittsburgh proposes to ' put up two mills, one fourteen-inch and one j twenty-eight-inch, for corrugating purposes. The first lap-welded pipe with a diameter of tw enty-four inches ever made by the roller process was turned out tho other day at Pittsburgh. The main reason of the high wages of gnen-gl iss workers is the unhealthfulhess of the trade and its great strain upon the constitution. The first patent overissued for paper bags was issued to a resident of Bethlehem, Penn. in 1852, and since then Bethlehem has led the world in this industry. CLEVELAND'S LETTER. Accepting the Democratic Nomi nation for President. Presentation of His Views on the Public Questions of the Day. The letter of President Cleveland, accept ing the Democratic nomination for Presi dent, has been made public. Mr. Cleveland begins by saying: "Washington, September 8, 18SS. "Hon. Patrick A. Collins and others, Com mitlee Etc.: "Gentlemen In addressing to you my formal acceptance of the nomination to the Presidency of the United States, my thoughts persistently dwelt upon the impres sive relation of such action to the Ameri can people, whose confidence is thus inviiel, and to the political party to which I belong, just entering upon a contest for continued supremacy. "The world does not afford a spectacle more sublime than is furnished when millions of free and intelligent Ameri can citizens select their (Jhief Magistrate and bid one of their number to find the high est earthly honor and the full measure of public duty in ready submission to their will. "It follows that a candidate for this high office can never forget that when the turmoil and the strife which attend the selection of its incumbent shall be heard no more there must be in the quiet calm which follows a complete and solemn self consecration by the people's chosen Presi dent of every faculty and endeavor to the service of a confiding and generous nation of freemen. "These thoughts are intensified by the light of my experience in the Presidential office, which has soberly impressed me with the severe responsibility which it imposes, while it has quickened my love for American in stitutions and taught me the priceless value of the trust of my countrymen." The Democratic platform is endorsed by the President in the following paragraph: "The pledges contained in the platl'orm adopted by the late Convention of the Na tional Democracy lead to the advancement of these objects and insure good government the aspiration of every true American citizen and the motive for every patriotic action and effort. In the consciousness that much has been done in the direction of good govern ment by the present administration, and submitting its record to the fair inspection of my countrymen, I indorse the platform thus presented, with the determination that if 1 am again called to the Chief Magistracy there shall be a continuance of devoted en deavor to advance the interests of the entire country." On the tariff question the President says: "Our scale of Federal taxation and its con sequences largelv engross at this time the attention of our citizens, and the people are soberly considering the necessity of meas ures of relief. Our Government is the crea tion of the people, established to carry out their designs and accomplish their good. It was founded on justice, and was made for a free, intelligent, and virtuous people. It is only useful when within their control, and only serves them well when regulated and guided by their constant touch, it is a free Government because it guarantees to every American citizen the unrestricted personal use and enjoyment of all the re ward of his toil and of all his income ex cept what may be his fair contribution to necessary public expense. Therefore it is not only the right but the duty of a tree people, in the enforcement of this guarantee, to in sist that such expense should be strictly limited to the actual public needs. It seems perfectly clear that when the Government, this instrumentality created and main tained by the people to do their bidding, turns upon them and, through an utter per version of i's powers, extorts from their labor and capital tribute largely in excess of pub lic necessities, the creature has' rebelled against the creator and the masters are robbed by their servants. "The cost of the government must con tinue to be met by tariff duties collected at our Custom Houses upon imported, goods, and by internal revenue taxes a'ssessed upon spirituous and malt liquors, tobacco, and oleomargarine. I suppose it is needless to explain that all these duties and assess ments are added to the price of the articles upon which they are levied, and thus be come a tax upon all those who buy these articles for use and consumption. I sup pose, too, it is well understood that the ef fect of this tariff taxation is not limited to the consumers of important articles, but that the duties imposed upon such articles permit a corresponding increase in price to Ite laid upon domestic produc tions of the same kind, which increase, paid by all our people as consumers of home pro ductions and entering every American home, constitutes a form of taxation as cer tain and as inevitable as though the amount was annually paid into the hand of the tax gatherer. These results are inseparable from the plan we have adopted for the col lection of our revenue by tariff duties. They are not mentioned to discredit the sys tem, but by way of preface to the statement that every million of dollars collected at our Custom Houses for duties upon im ported articles and paid into the public Treasury represent many millions more, which, though never reaching the National Treasury, are paid by our citizens as the in creased cost of domestic productions result ing from our tariff laws. "In these circumstances, and in view of this necessary effect of the operation of our plan for raising revenue, the absolute duty of limiting ft r,f t.irif fh rres to the necessities or a rrugai ana economical ad ministration of the government seams to be perfectly plain. The continuance, upon the pretext of meeting public expenditures, of such a scale of tariff taxation as draws from the substance of the people a sum largely in excess of public needs is surely something which, under a Govern ment based upon justice, and which fin is its strength and usefulness in the faith and trust of the people, ought not to be to erated. While the heaviest burdens in cident to the necessities of the Govern ment are uncomplainingly borne, light burdens become grievous anl intolerable when not justified by such necessities. -Unnecessary taxation is unjust taxation. "And yet this is our condition. We are annually collecting at our Custom Houses nnd by means of our internal revenue taxa tion many millions in excess of all legiti mate public needs. As a consequence there now remains in the National Treasury a sur plus of mors than $toO,OJO,H) ). No better evi lence could be furnished that the p?ople are exorbitantly taxed The extent of the surperfluous burden indicated by this surplus will be better appreciated when it is suggested that su-h surplus alone repre sents taxation aggregating more than 10. in a county containing 50,0UJ inhabi tants." "Taxation has always b?en th" feature of organized government the hardest to rec oncile with the ieople's ideas of freedom ami happiness. When presented in a direct form nothing will arouse popu'ar discon tent more quickly ami profoundly than un just and unnecessary taxation. Our far mers, mechanics, laborers, and all our citi zens closely scan the slightest increase in the taxes assessed upon their lands and other property and demand good reasons for such increase. And yet they seem to be expected, in some quarters, to regard the un necessary volume of insidious and indirect taxation visited upon them bv our present rate of tariff duties with indifference, if not with favor. After further reference to the tariff ques tion the President says: "We fullv appreciate the importance to the country of our domestic industrial en terprises, In the rectification of existing wrongs their maintenance and prosperity should be carefully and in a friendly spirit considered. Even such re'iance upon pres ent revenue arrangements as have been in vited or encouraged should be fairly and justly regarded. Abrupt and radical changes which might endanger such enter prises, and iniunously affect trie interests of labor dependent upon their success and continuance, are not contemplate I or in tended. But we know the cost of our do mestic manufactured pro lucts is increased and their price to the consumer enhanced by the duty impose! upon the raw material used in their manufacture. We know that this increased cost prevents the sale of our productions at foreign markets in competi tion with those countries which have the advantage of free raw material. We know that, confined to a home market, our manu facturing operations are curtailed, their de mand for labor irregular, and the rate of wages paid uncertain. We propose, there fore, to stimulate our domestic industrial enterprises by freeing from duty the im ported raw materials which, by the em ployment of labor, are us3d in our home man ufactures, thus extending: the markets for cneir sale and permitting an increased and steady production with the allowance of abundant profits. "True to the undeviating course of the Democratic party, we will not neglect the interests of labor and our workingmen. In all efforts to remedy existing evils, we will furnish no excuse for the loss of employ ment or the reduction of the wage of honest toil. On the contrary, we propose in any adjustment or our revenue laws to concede such encouragement and advantage to the employers of domestic labor as v-ill easily compensate for any difference that may ex ist between the standard of wages which should, be paid to our laboring men and the rate allowed in other countries. We pro pose, too, by extending the markets for our manufacturers to promote the steady em ployment of labor, while by cheapening the cost or the necessaries of life we increase the purchasing power of the worki ngman's wages and add to the comforts of his home." From the tariff question the President turns to trusts and combinations, about which he says: "The platform adopted by the late Nation al Convention of our party contains the fol lowing declaration: "Judged by Democratic principles the interests of the pepple are betrayed when, by unnecessary taxation, trusts arid combinations are permitte.l and fostered which, while unduly enriching the Jew that combine, rob the body of- our citizens by depriving them as purchasers of the benefits of natural competition." "Such combinations have always been con demned by the Democratic Party. The declaration of its National Convention is sincerely made, and no memV er of our party will be found excusing the existence or te llttling the pernicious results of these de vices to wrong the people. Under various names they have been punished by the com mon law for hundreds of years, and they have lot none of their hateful features be cause they have assumed the name of trusts instead of conspiracies. We believe that these trusts are the natural offspring of a market artificially restricted; that an in ordinatsly high tariff, besides furnishing the temptation for their existence, enlarges the limit within" which they may operate against the people, and thus increase the ex tent of their power for wrongdoing. With an unalterable hatred of all such schemes, we count the checking of their baleful op?ra tions among the good results promised by revenue reform. "While we cannot avoid partisan misrep resentation our position upon the question of revenue reform should be so plainly stated as to admit of no misunderstanding. We have entered upon no crusade of free trade. The reform we seek to inaugurate is predicated upon the utmost care for estab lished industries and enterprises, a jealous regard for the interests of American labor, and a sincere desire to relieve tho country from the injustice and danger of a condi tion which threatens evil to all the people of the land. We are dealing with no imag inary danger. Its existence h is been re peatedly confessed by all political parties, and p'edges of a remedy have been made on all sides." After attacking the Republican party for its position in regard to a tariff bill, and asserting that the National Republican plat form offers thi people free tobacco and free whisky, the President concludes as fol lows: "With firm faith in the intelligence and patriotism of our countrymen, and relying upon the conviction that misrepresentation will not influence them, prejudice will not cloud their understanding, and that menace will not intimidate them, let us urge the peo ple's interest and public duty for the vindica tion of our attempt to inaugurate a righteous and beneficent reform. "Gkovek Cleveland." DEADLY DISASTER. A Collision Bet wee. a Two France. Trains in A terrible railway accident occurred at half past two o'clock in the morning on the Paris, Lyons and Meditteranean line between Malain and Velars-sur-Ouche in France near the viaduct of Le Combe Fouchere. The down express No. 11, from Paris to Dijou and Lyons, which started, at twenty minutes past nine r. m., was due at Dijon at a quarter past two a. m. It ran off the line, and some of the cars were thrown in a heap on to the up track. Before news of the mishap could be sent t Dijon the up fast train had left that station at eleven minutes past 2, and, rushing along at high speed, it ran into tha wreck in the pitch darkness. The collision was terrific. Both engines were smashed to pieces. When the casualties ; came to be counted eighteen passengers w ere j found dead or dying and forty others dread j fully wounded. j Both engines were hurled down an era- I bankment, and eight cars were smashed inta i . pieces. 00D FISHERS DROWNED. One Hundred and Thirty-seven French. Sailors Perish. Captain Ryan, of the schooner A. D. Story, which has just arrived from a whaling voy age, reports great destruction among the French fishing fleet on the south coast of Ice land. As this is the cod fishing ground for the French the whole French fleet were con centrated in this locality when a terrible storm came up, which engulfed six vessels and their crews. One other vessel lost h-T captain and thie3 men. As noir as could be ascertained the number lose was lo?. Many of the vessels were so badly damaged that tney had to be abandoned, an 1 three hundred men were lett in a destitute condi tion in Iceland until a steamer .carried them away. They endured many hardships while there, the supply of food being limited. SUMMARY OF CONGRESS. Senate Proceeding. ICSth Day.
