THE INDIANAPOLIS "JOURNAL,. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1895,

tween the earth and the stars only vultures held winded sway. The American Railway Union ku born with a sympathetic soul. Its ears were attuned to the melodies of mercy, to catch the whispered walling' of tre oppressed. It had eyes to scan the fields of labor, a tonjrue to denounce the wronij, hands to grasp the oppressed and u will to lift them out of the sloufrhs of despondency to high lands of security and prosperity. Here and now I challenge, the record, and if lii all the land the American Railway Union has an enemy, one or a million. 1 challenge all of them to stand up before the labor world and sive a reason why they have maligned and persecuted the order. I am not here to assert tae infallibility of the organization or Its officials, or to claim exemption from error. Bu I sm hre to declare o every .friend of. the American toiler, regardless of bander, name or craft, that If the. American Railway Union has erred it has been on the pide of sympathy, rrercy and humanity teal In a great cause, devotion to the spirit of brotherhood which knows no artificial boundaries, whose zones are mapped by lines of truth as vivid as lightning1, and whose horizon Is measured only by the eye of fate In man's redemption from slavery. I hold it be inconceivable that an organization of workingmn, animated by such Inspirations and aspirations, should nave become the target for the hafts of Judicial and governmental malice. But. the fact that such has been the case brines Into haggard prominence a condition of affairs that appeals to all thoughtful men In the ranks of organized labor, and all patriotic citizens, regardless of vocation, who resent the subtle invasions of the liberties of the American people by the courts

ana rustainea by an administration mat is equally dead to the guarantees of the Constitution. It is In no spirit of laudation That I aver here to-night that It has fallen to the lot of the American Railway Unin to arouse workingmen to a sense of the perils that environ tieir liberties. In the great Itillman strike the "American Railway Union challenged the power of corporations In a way that had not been previously done, and the analyzation of thfs fact serves to expand U to proportions that the most eonservativet men of the Nation reCard with alarm. It must be borne In mind that the American Railway Union did not challenge the government. It threw down no gauntlet to courts or armies It simply resisted Invasion of the rights of workingmen by corporations. It challenged and defied the power of corporations. Thrice armed with a just cause, the crcanizatlon . believed that Justice would win for labor a notable victory and the records proclaim that Us confidence was not misplaced. The corporations, left - to ineir own resources or money, mendacity and malice, of thugs and ex-convicts, leeches and lawyers, tvould have been overwhelmed la defeat and the banners of organized labor would have floated triumphant in the breeze. This, the corporations saw and believed hence the calling la of the federal courts and the federal armies, which culminated in the defeat of labor. But for this the simple defeat of a labor organization disrupted and despoiled this grand convocation of the lovers of liberty would never have been heard of. The robbet and blacklisted victims of defeat would have suffered In silence their darkened somes amidst the sobbings and waitings of wives and children. It would have been the oft-repeated, old. old stnrv, heagd alone the track of progress and poverty for three-quarters of a . century Jn the United gtates, where brave men, loyal to law and duty, have struck to nettar their conditions or to resist tho degradation and gone down to defeat. But the defeat of the American Railway Union Involved questions of law. Constitution and jrovernnvnt which, all things considered are without a parallel In court and governmental proceedings under the Constitution of th Republic. And ft Is this judicial and administrative usurpation of power to override the rights of States and strike down the liberties of the people that has conferred upon the incidents connected with the Pullman strike such commanding importance as to attract attenJ M A fc- V- 1 W A. A A 1 iion ok men ui uie uijjnfsi auainniems in constitutional law and of statesmen who. like Jefferson, view with alarm the processes by which the Republic is being wrecked and a despotism reared upon Its ru!n. SOME ALLEGED FACTS. I have said that In the great battle of labor fought in 1S34 'between the American Railway Union and the corporations banded together under the name of the General Managers Association, victory would have perched upon the standards of labor if the battle had been left to these contending forces and this statement, which has been verified and established beyond truthful contradiction, suggests the inquiry, rvhat other resources had the corporations aside from their money aud the strength which their federation conferred? In reply, to the question. I am far within the limits of accepted facts when I say the country stood amazed as the corporations put forth tVIr latent powers to- debauch such department of the i;cvernment as were reovlred to defeat labor In the greatest struggle for their rights that was ever chronicled In the United States. Defeated at every point, their plans ail frustrated, outgeneraled in tactics and strategy, while the hopes of labor wer brightening and victory was In sight, the corporations, goaded to desperation, played their last card in the game of oppression by an appeal to tho federal judiciary and to the federal administration. To this appeal the response came, quick as lightening from a storm cloud. It was an exhibition of the debauching power of money which this country had never before beheld. The people had long been familiar with such expressions as "money talks." "money rules," and they' had een the enects of Its power Jn Legislature and Congress. They were conversant with Jay Gould's methods of gaining hti legal victories by "buying a Jude" in critical cases. They had tracked this money power, this behemoth beast of prey. Into every corporate enterprise evolved by our modern civilization, as hunters tracked Users in India's Jungles, but never before In th-history of the country had they ween It grasp with paws and Jaws the- government of the United State?, bond It to Its will and make It a mere travesty of its pristine grandeur. The people had seen this money power enter the church, touoh the robed priest at the altar, blotch hi soul, freeze his heart and make Mm a traitor to h s consecrated vows and send him forth a Judas with a bag containing .the price of his treason, or. If true to his convictions. Ideas and Ideals, to suffer the penalty of ostracism. In be blacklisted and to seek In vain for a senctuary In which to expound Christ's doctrine of the brotherhood of man. The people had seen this money power enter a university and grasp a professor and hurl hlme headlong Into the street be- ! every faculty of mind, redeemed by education and consecrated to truth, pointed out and illuminated new pathways to the goal of human happiness and national glory". The people had seen this money power practicing every art of duplicity, growing more arrogant and despotic an it robttfd one and crushed another, building :its fortifications of the bones of its victims, ami its palaces out of the profits of Its piracies, until purple and fine linen on one side and rags upon the oiher side defined conditions as mountain ranges or rivers dnne the boundaries of nations palaces on th hills, with music and dancing, the luxuries of all climes, earth, air and sea huts In the valleys, dark and dlmal. where5 the music Is the dolorous "Song of the Shirt." and the luxuries rags and crusts. These things have been seen by the people, but It was reserved for them. In the process of the Pullman strike, to see this money power, by the fiat of corporations, grasp one by one the departments of the government and compel them to do its hMillng as in old days the master commanded obedience of his cluttet slaves. The corporation first attacked the judicial department of the government, a department which, according to Thomas Jf-nVrson, has menaced the integrity of the Republic frcm the beginning. They ?lld not attack the Sjpreme Hench. A chain is no stronger than Its weakest link, and the corporation knew where that was and the amount of strain It would bear. How did thev attark this weak link in the Judicial chain? 1 am aware that inuend.ws. dark Intimations of venality, are not regarded as courntn fnrms of armlartment nnd vet th Judicial drapotlsm at every step of the proceeding by which my official associates were doomed to imprisonment was marked b Infamies, supported by faisehools and jMtrjurles. as destitute of truth as are the Arctic region of crange blcssoms. I have borne with sucli composure as I could command the Imprisonment which deprived me of mv liberty. Were I a criminal, were I guilty of crimes meriting a prison cell, had I ever lifted my hand gainst the life tr liberty of my fellowmen, had 1 ever nought to Mich their good mme. I could not be here. I would have fid from the haunts of civilization and taken up my residence In some cave where the voice, of my kindred Is never heard. But I am standing here with a self-accusation of crime or criminal intent festering in my conscience. In the sunlight once, more among my fellow-men. contributing as best I ran to make this "Liberation day" from Woodstock prison as a memorial day. K. OF I- TO DKIItf.

There was a meeting at Mozart Hall last night of the labor leaders interested In the reception to Eugene Debs, who will pass through the city this afternoon en route to Terre Haute. It was the original Intention to have a brass band and all labor organizations at the depot, but Mr. Debs thought such would be unwise, so it has been determined to send a small committee to the train.

Judfte Wood Refnoea to Talk. Judge "Woods, who tried and sentenced Debs for his complicity in the railroad strikes last year, when asked for an expression of his views on the attemps being made to lionize Debs, last night said he had nothing to say on the subject. He said he had expressed himself sufficiently In passing sentence upon Debs, and had given the subject of the receptions to be tendered him upon his release no thought and knew nothing about It whatever. When the suggestion was made that the public was somewhat interested In knowing what he thought of the matter Judge Woods replied: "the considerate public expects me to do my duty when called upon and would regard it as out of place for me to discuss such questions. I have nothing to say on the subject. I don't care to be Interviewed." PHILADELPHIA SWINDLED. evidence of Crookednna In Pny Rolli of Bridge Repairers.

BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 32. The American will publish the following: "For some time there has been strong suspicions in the minds of United States customs officials along the Atlantic seaboard and in the seaport of Baltimore that smugsling was carried on systematically through the medium of emigrants coming to this country as steerage passengers on transatlantic vessels. This suspicion has likewise arisen in the mind of American consuls at foreign j ports and has finally caused official com- I plaint to be made to the State Department J by Dr. C. W. Chancellor, J.'nlted States consul at the port of Havre, France. As a j result of this complaint ' custom officials j have been notified through the Treasury j Department and official notice was received at the port of Baltimore to-day. Consul Chancellor, in his official communication upon the subject, states that from time to time, at Havre, discovery has been made of valuables secreted among the baggage or other personal effects of embarking steerage passengers. For example, costly Oriental rugs, valued at as much as lift) or more each would be found among what purported to be immigrants bedding. The insufficient means at hand at the port of departure for determining in al! cases the extent of such a condition of things has left lo conjecture. It seems, the real magnitude of the Importation. At the American ports of entry' the vigilance of inspectors has brought to light many of the attempts lo evade the Impost laws of this country, but It Is believed that the vastness of the steal upon which a contraband traffic has been carried o.i through the steerages of vessels Is Jupt becoming apparent. Pursuant to the warning of Consul Chancellor, it is understood that the watchfulness will be redoubled. WARRING HOKSEMEN. Cieortte Cadwallnder Attempt to Shoot Joseph Chill". LEXINGTON. Ky.. Nov. 22.

REV. VANDYCK- DEAD PROBABLY THE FORDMOST AnAOlC ! SCHOLAR IX THE WORLD. Translated 3lany Books, Including the j Illble and Cien. Lew Wallace's Famonn "Rcn-llnr." ' NEW YORK. Nov. 22. News has beei received In New York of the sudden death In Beirut. Syria, of Dr. Cornelius Vandyck, the translator of the Bible into Arabic and perhaps the foremost Arabic scholar In the world. Besides the Bible. Dr. Vandyck translated many other valuable books into Arabic. His last great work was the translation of Gen. Lew Wallace's "Ben Hur" Into Arabic. This was completed before his death, but the manuscript Is unpublished. The Turkish authorities are tryi.ig to obtain possession of the manuscript to destroy it. The result Is that the book will not bo published for some time and when It appeal's. It will be outside of Turkey. In hia translation of the Bible, which he began In 1857 and completed In 1S64, he had the assistance of noted native scholars, including the famous teachers In the Mohammedan University of El Ashar at . Cairo. The first printed copy of the Arabic Bible appeared Aug. 29, 1863. and was immediately adopted by both the British and Foreign Bible Societies as well as by the American Bible Society. The Influence of Dr. Vandyck's life among the Syrians has been and will be felt for many years. He was an ex pert physician and was engaged in humanitarian work up to a few months of his death. ur. , S'andyck was a native of Kinderhook, N. Y. He was born Aug. 13, 1S18. Both his father and mother were Dutch. He became identified with the Dutch Reformed Church, and on graduating from college at the age cf twenty he offered himself at the American Board of Foreign Missions as a missionary. He reached Syria for the first time in the early part of 1840, and he had not been there long before the need of an adequate version of the Scriptures in t7e Syrian language became apparent to him.

Ilrnsh Talks About Baseball and Its Politics. Chicago Evening Post. Of all the baseball men now In the city In attendance upon the Western League meeting John T. Brush, of the Indianapolis club, is, perhaps, the most Interesting. This is because of his double prominence in the National and Western League, and because he Is one of the solid, all-wool-and-a-yard-wlde old-school fans and baseball politl clans. Mr. Brush physically is not much more than a good-slsed mascot, but in other respects he !. a giant in the ball world. As a big magnate In tbe Cincinnati League team and a heavy holder of New York club stock, he is in a position to make himself fe!t In the affairs of the diamond. Rude ball critics accuse him of keeping th "Ctnclnnapolls" team for a "farm" on which his prize pumpkins In the way of players can be developed for swift company. Mr. Rrush would not get angry If he were to be called the greatest fan in the business. But. fan and enthusiast that he Is. he does not lose sight of the fact that baseball is a business, as well as a sport, and should be conducted upon proper lines. "I like ball because It Is a highly appreciated diversion," said Mr. Brush to-day as be batted a cold and stupid fly off of the Or eat Northern easy chairs with his cane. "But In all my experience In baseball tne thing I have found to be most Interesting is the politics of the ball world. These are as important to the domestic economy of baseball as the politics of the country is to the Nation's welfare. Politics Is the life of baseball. Abolish discussion and opposition In ball and It becomes a corpse. If we all thought the same the effect would be similar to abolishing the great political parties of this country. "Did you ever stop to think that baseball business is a paradoxical affair ?i It Is totally unlike any other pursuit. We are banded together In a league Inteniei to accomplish a certain object, and except when we are In annual session we are engaged In struggling with each other for the mastery. Each club is the opponent of all the others, and although in the National League my club has eleven partners, each partner is at .the throats of the others. In no other business will you find It that way. A number oftheatilcal companies controlled by the same interest may be out on the road at the same time, but they act Independently of 'each other. Still, it Is this opposition, together with the fact that a million or more of people are Interested In our jnov, that lenJs great Interest to the sport. The politics of the game, therefore, affords me a , great deal of Instruction and pleasant diversion." The ball magnate has never before related for publication the circumstances attending his entry into the baseball field. "Dan O'Leary tells a good story on me." continued Mr. Brush, "and of my declaration several years ago that I knew nothing about ball and never wanted to know anything, but It is not exactly according to facts. The truth Is that away back In the early days of baseball durlnc the old Haymaker times I was one of the most ardent admirers of the game. Everybody bet on the games then the grandstand was a regular poolroom. But the players got Into the clutches of gamblers, and the situation became so decomposed that one could not bet upon his own team for fear of heln thrown down by his own club members. Why, when the big tie game between the Eastern champions and the old Cincinnati reds was to be played off at Cincinnati, I was in New York. I haunted the telegraph office for hours to get news of that contest. "However, matters became so corrupt that I lost all Inures: In the am and went about my business. One day whlle I was In rft. Louis upon a matter connected with my store there I received Instructions from a friend In Indlanaolls no find out what Boyle, Glasscock and o:her ballplayers could be purchased for. Plenty ot orders and instructions came by wire, and soon I found myself carried away by tho novelty of being empowered to eo Into the market and buy a certain number of p'ayers. The task was not a nard one. and when I returned to In lianapolls. I found much more enthusiasm there over baseball thar. I had any Idea there could be. Everyone was for starting a club and putting out a great team. Money rolled in, from a poor man's $25 to the rl.'h man's friendly subscription of JjOO or int're. I was led Into the swim for fyo worth of stock as a starter. Well. then, there was to be a president and board of directors, and 1 was asked to act as one of the latter. In vain 1 protested that I did not want the place, and they told me there would be no work Just wanted my name for the. sake of loks, with the other fourteen members. This directory chose an advlsorv

es

committee of seven members and thenceforth there was fun. Right In June, when the club should have had active spirits at the helm, the president resUned and, the advisory committee of seven discharse-l the other committee of eight, and the club safety was threatened. I did rot care so much for the largt? holders of stock, but I didn't like to se the -subscriptions of the $25 and $.7) men endangered. They wanted me to accept the. presidency, but I only promised to at as a leader until the season closed. Weil, we pulled the club through that season, ar.d we have been proud of it ever since, und that was in 1SS7." Y. M. C. A. OFFICERS. lxeeutlvc Committee Selects I. C Stacey as State Secretary..
