The way to break up the solid

hereafter, in employing and discharg-

be favored, the object being to divide
the force in the different grades
gradually between democrats and
republicans. This rule will apply to
women and children, as we'll as to
men, and wiIl'be strongly enforced.
Respectfully, your obedient servant,

After fully taking in the situation
In Denver we boarded n Santa Fe
train and woke up in the thriying
city of Lamar, the great wonder and
beauty of Bent county. We were
first struck with the impression that
we were still in Denver owing to the
rush of people to and fro and the
general amount of business being
transacted. Yet there is quite con-
trast between tue two cities. While
Lamar has not yet made any move
for the state capitol although their
ideas are centered on that part of
state improvements, but there is moth
ing small about Lamar. Her people
takes everything cool and calmly.
They want nothing that is an impos-
sibility, and only that which is with
in their grasp. They want a county
seat which they are bound to have.
They want lots of good solid farmers
which they are getting daily. They
want enterprising energetic business
men in addition to what they now
have. They only want an opportu.
nifty to convince the home seeker
what he can do in the way of farm.
ing under the ditch system. They
don't want the earth but they do
want the eastern people to know that
they have as good farm land as any
state or territory IN the union, and
that they have as good town with
all that constitutes such town, such
as churches, schools, Wholesale and
retail stores, liverIes, hotels and
everything that can be found in larg-
er and ol Ter places, and yet there is
room for more.
There is the Weekly Register ably
edited by Judge w. r. Davis; the
Leader, edited by the notorious G. NJ.
Magiil, B. f. Colthar manager; the
Daily Times, a bright newsy paper
edited by Chas. 1. Coutant, and last
hut not least, the Sparks, edited by
Mrs. NJ. A. Metcalf, all of whom are
feeling that Lamar has bright fu-
ture and that there is still room for
one more in the newspaper business.

We found all or great many of

promise.

Workingmen are studying the
tariff question. This is quite enough.
If workingmen will simply look into
the matter, not follow blind preju-
dice, they will soon be convinced
that protection is the right policy.
This isn't theory. 1t is experience.
Free traders say that one Amer.
lean can do as much work in day as

ings really performed and said by
other HarrIsons. AT the beginning of
the campaign there was a remark
about religious denomination that
turned out to have been made by
Harrison, the "boy" preacher, and
recently in Illinois, there has been a
tempest in the democratic teapot
over an alleged remark about the
Instantaneous being fit for nothing
but hewers of wood and drawers of

rison, the notorious democratic ex-
Mayor of Chicago was the Harrison

Free trade is no experiment in
America. We've tried it, and it
didn't work. Germany tried it, and
it didn't work. Why not be guided
by experience? Business men are SO
guided; and isn't public business to
be conducted on business principles? ?

LAZY AND AMUSING.
Minneapolis Gives St. Louis An
other Drubbing.

The rather small audience at the Min
neapolis ball park yesterday saw lazy
and somewhat amusing game between
Minneapolis and st. Louis, the result
being the third straight victory for the
locals. The visitors were outclassed
from the start, and, though they played
hard and steadily, it was impossible for
them to win. The team is also crippled
and has but nine available men, SC that
the battery off duty in the box has to
double up and take the field. Nyce is
a species of pie for the Minneapolis
Sluggers, and they fell upon him for
fourteen singles and four doubles,
which, notwithstanding their poor
base running, netted eleven runs.
The visitors also touched up
Ole Hallstrom in lively style, getting
ten safe ones, of which three were dOu-
bIes and one home run. For Mime
apOliS, both Patton and Tebeau played
a lazy game, though they woke up Occa-
SiOnaliy and did some brilliant work.
Jevne got his first error on the home
ground. letting Nicholson's hit get by
him, though the rough ground was
largely responsible. Little Cal Bren-
nan also helped out the number of runs,
but not the victory, giving the visitors
SOilith lldl lu6 NUISG VI DdllS anu SJIlhcS.
Minneapolis ran the bases like deer,
but ran them recklesSly, three men be-
ing caught at the plate and two at third
when there was no occasion for it.
Minneapolis took long lead in the
first inning, singles by Patton, HaweS
and McCullom, the double by Walsh
and errors by Hines, Staley and Arun-
del counting up six runs. The locals
then rested for three innings, while St.
Louis piled up seven runs and took the
lead. Nicholson's hit, which got by
.IeVne, bases on balls to Beckley and
Burch, Crooks out and Tebeau'S lazy
throw gave two earned runs in the first
Staley'S single and doubles by Nyce and
Nicholson gave two more in the second
Crooks base on balls, singles by Burch
and Arundel and PattOn's muff of
Staley'S fly gave two in the third. and
Beckley'S double and Tebeau's tumble
put on the seventh run in the fourth.
Minneapolis then woke up and, after
Hines poor throw had given Hallstrom
life, and Tebeau got first on balls, both
were sent in by Broughton'S long dOu-
BILE. st. Louis tied the score in the sew
enth. Crooks had gathered two strikes
i'll quick succession, but, while the
crowd was yelling ''hoo! hoo!" he got a
good ball and chucked it over the fence.
The crowd grew silent. But st. Louis
got no more runs, while Minneapolis in
the last three innings pounded out seven
singles and two doubles, adding three
runs to the total. McCullOm's fine run
ming catch and BroughtOn's backstop
work deserve special mention. The rest
is told in the score:

The Result Was That milwaukee,
Walked Off With the Game.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 12.-Mil-
waukee and Kansas City finished their
series to-day with a twelve-inning
game. Swartzel and Stephens were in
the box for their respective clubs. The
first hit and run of the game were made
in the second by Milwaukee. Maskrey
tapped the ball for three bags and
scored on Pettee's single. In the same
inning Johnson hit safely, got to third
hit. Campau made Kansas City's score
run in the fourth. After johnson had
made a two-bagger and been thrown
out at the home plate, he hit safely, got
second on play and trotted home
when Bradley hit safely. In the
fifth Swartzel sent man to
first Oh balls, which assisted two safe
hits, to give Milwaukee run and tied
the score. SwartZel scored another for
Kansas City IN the sixth on his and
Campau's hits and steal. The game
was characterized by excellent fielding
on both sides. The men hit the ball
hard and provided the fielderS with
plenty of chances, which they accepted
without any errors up to the twelfth
inning. Up to the eighth inning Cusick
at first base for Milwaukee had not a
chance offered him. Milwaukee tied
the score in the ninth Oh two hits and
steal. Nothing more resulted until the
demoraliZed and Milwaukee hit hard
and made four runs on errors by Man
ming, Ardner and Cartwright and hits
by Lowe and Fuller and StrusS' home
run. Kansas City made nothing in their

? Six hundred people saw Des Moine
try very hard yesterday afternoon to
take the third game of the series from
st. Paul, but, as the score below shows,
they were not successful. The batteries
were Sowders and Earle and Smith and
Traffiey, and the work of the quartette
was creditable all around. There was
not wild pitch or passed ball, and
the hits of both mines were badly scat
tered. The seven hits of Des Moines
were made in seven different innings,
and st. Paul made no more than one hit
in any inning after the first.
teams was pretty "rocky," while the
Outfielders did themselves proud. Earle
did a remarkable days work, his record
showing nine put outs, three assists, two
hits, one stolen base and one run. He
was roundly applauded for his clever
steal of third and his plucky play be-
hind the bat after splitting finger. In
the first inning, after Murphy and Car
roll had gone out on flies, Earle
placed the ball in right field
for a base and Ringo made
terrific line hit over the fence at left
center. In the same inning Quinn hit
30 right Helu, stole second, went 10 tnlru
on a sacrifice and scored on Macullar's
out. In the next inning the Hawkeyes
tied the score on Traffiey's base on balls,
Smiths hit and Holidays out. st. Paul
won the game in the third. Sowders
led off with hit and Murphy dropped
fly in Van Dykes hands. FumbleS at
short and first nlled the bases and Sow
ders walked in Oh Ringo's base on
balls. Veach's out from second sent
in another, and Reilly famed the
ZephyrS, leaving two men on bases.
Murphy made the last run of the game
in the fifth on hit, steal, an out and
an error. The Iowans got men OH bases
in the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and
ninth innings, but were unable to tally
again. The score follows:
