WATCH THEM.

The ADVOCATE gave the warning
last week that this state was being
Colonized for the purpose of defeating
the will of our citizens at the coming
election. A clipping from the Kansas
Commoner, published in another col
umn of this issue, shows that Wichita
has received an installment from Ten
nessee. Watch these fellows. They
have been brought here for corrupt
purposes No former resident Of an
other state can gain residence that
win entitle him to vote at the coming
election. Challenge every devil of
them and see that they do not vote.

WHAT THE PROHIBITIONIsTS THINK OF
FARMER SMITH,

We clip the following from the pro-
ceedings of the recent Prohibition
convention in this city:
Mrs. 8. F. Grubb, Of Lawrence, president Of
the w. G. T. U. of Kansas, offered the following
resolution:
Resolved, That as logical conclusion we feel
less faith in the proposed enforcement Of the
prOhibltOry law" by the Republican party II they
succeed In electing their ticket from the fact
that the man who heads 1t, A. w. Smith, dellb-
erately lnsulted Ex-Governor st. John for the
sole reason Of his being, and because he was the
apostle of prohibition, and through him the Pro-
hibltlOnlsts Of Kansas. He did this when he In
trOdueed the measure into the state legislature
to change the name of the county called after St.
john
The resolution was received with cheers, and
was adopted unanimously.

THE editor Of the Alliance paper at Lawrence
has skipped the country, leaving a number Of
his confidential advisers In that city and county
financially worse of than before they made his
acquaintance -EmpOrtd Republican.

down and the wonderful sliding
scale" was made to take a slide down
wards.
Mr.. Anthony did not think it worth
while to mention these trifing mat
ters, any more than the other unim-
portant fact that all the workmen
were not receiving $275 per month
for their services. If the people of
Kansas were not reading people he
might perhaps deceive enough of
them to gain respectable vote in the
state; but such deliberate conceal
ment of facts, and evident unfairness
in the treatment of questions of pub
lie interest must forfeit the respect of
intelligent and thinking men and
women.

We listened to the effort Of the
would-be congressman on Thursday
evening last as he endeavored to
demonstrate the blessings of pro-
tective tariff to the American people.
The little unplessantness at Home
stead, Pa, seemed to embsrrass him
somewhat, but he succeeded in wad-
ing through the usual platitudes of
such occasions with his characteristic
dexterity as a special pleader.
In speaking of the wages paid to
Homestead employees he mentioned
the price paid 10 the highest skilled
labor, and he talked to his audience
as though none of them ever read
anything for themselves. Had the
people been totally ignorant of the
facts, and depended upon him for a
statement Of them, he would have left
the impression upon his audience that
the employees of the Carnegie works
were all receiving from $3.50 to $275
per month. AS his audience were
mostly reading people, he succeeded
in demonstrating to the satisfaction Of
all present his intentional and very
marked unfairness in thus presenting
a one-slded view of the case. Had
he cared to give the facts he might
have presented scrap of the testi-
mony taken by the congressional
committee appointed to investigate
the difficulty.
From the testimony Of Mr.. Nc
Luckie, burgess of Homestead, he
might have gained some very inter-
esting facts had he been searching
for the simple truth. 1t seems that
the much boasted sliding scales of
Mr. Carnegie's Workmen, which is
supposed to possess such remarkable
elasticity, and TO afford the workmen
such fair opportunities to participate
in the profits Of the company's bust
ness, is all based upon the price of a
single product of the orks-steel
billets. AS the price Of steel bullets
should go up the price of labor
should advance, and when the price
of billets should go down the price
Of labor should go down.
Having secured the assent Of the
workmen to the wonderful sliding
SCALE" which was heralded over the
country as a triumph of practical CO.
operation in the manufacture of
American steel, the msgnsnimous Mr..
Carnegie, the great philanthropist
and humanitarian, was ready for bus
mess.
1t seems from the testimony there
had been difficulty on q former occs-
sion in the satisfactory adjustment OF
the sliding scale which had been set
tied at the time not altogether to the
satisfaction Of the company. At this
point we will introduce little of Mr..
McLuckie's testimony, in order to
give an insight into the business. He
says:

The Mugwump inhabitants of political
Utopia are never weary Of denouncing the
contests of party 50 ''the curse OF free gov
eminent and part of the bitter price OF it. !"
The American Mugwump seldom goes to .
primary. or attends convention, or gives
any attention to practical politics, and yet
he is never weary of denouncing "the
American experiment" as foreordained to
wretched failure, never weary Of pointing
TO England as the only form of govern
ment under which "a gentleman" can live
with any honor o. satisfaction to himself.
or one of these type New England Mug
wumps il was once sarcastlcalfy said
that the only justification for his appoint
ment to England was that IL was perhaps
good policy to send men abroad who were
absolutely worthless when they were not
dangerous to the success of the party at
home. It is this American Mugwump
that never loses a chance to poison the
minds of American college youths with
the contempt he feels and never ceases to
express for the institutions of the United
States.
The American Mugwump prefers the
English system to our own, he imports his
politics from the same country he does his
clothes ana his pronunciation. He is
resonant with Mugwump rot about "spoils
and statesmen, politics and politicians,
parties and party combais." What would
he have? He would prefer England,
where the elections are more disorderly
than our own, where money is spent like
water in politics by both parties. where
the most brilliant talent cannot get elected
to parliament except at the cost Of thou
sands of dollars to some patron or faction,
where the spoils are clutched by the queen
and court instead Of by the people,
AZ in America. Where could he go to find
q country where the steady advance of
constitutional freedom has not been won
by the ceaseless battle of political con-
tests? Not to England; not to France;
not even to Italy or Germany. Where
would he go? He would have to go to
Russia, where Tartar despotism still
survives as absolute as that of Tamerlane.
There he would find no "party contests
that are a curse to free government" but
would find the peace of political death;
tranquility under tyranny, broken only
by an occasional shot fired at the car by
men and women of genius and culture,
who, faint and few, are the only friends of
constitutional freedom in that unhappy
country. He can he rid Of "the contests
of party" by adopting the Russian or the
Turkish system.

READY TO BACK SMITH.
Pittsburgers Have Money to Match Him
Against the ALLEGED Chacaoions.


Against the Alleged Chan2io
Ed Smith and John Quinn returned from
Philadelphia yesterday. Smith had an easy
task in defeating Mike Monahan Saturday
and declined to knock him out because of
the requests of the police.
Smith made such an excellent impression
in Philadelphia that the following state.
ment is made by John Quinn in behalf of
Smith: "We offered to match Smith against
Maher for any kind of a reasonable purse
and n side bet of So, 500 a side There were
plenty of Philadelphia sporting men ready
to put up money for Smith. Billy Madden
only stated that he would think the matter
over. 1 don't think Madden will allow
Maher to go against Smith, and we have
therefore, matched Smith to. stop Billy
Needham, of Philadelphia, in four rounds,
the winner to take all.
ave also talked OF putting Smith against
Choynski for four rounds, but the latter
wants 20 per cent OF the receipts. will allow
the proprietor, Jack Fogarty, the remaining,
90 per cent, Fogarty to pay Smith, lose or
win. This is outrageous. We are ready to
back Smith against ChoynSki for any rea-
Sonable purse and any reasonable outside
bet, the winner to take all. That is fair.
Jack Fogarty has seen them all and he is
ready at any moment to put up money for
Smith to fight either Hall or Fitzsimmons.
Smith will fight Hall at 165 pounds and Fitz
at l5S. To make long story short, Ed
Smith will light any man in the world at
the weights mentioned, and if anybody
thinks he won't let him put up 81, 600 in The
DISPATCH office and it will be covered wishln
Il hours.'
Jack Fogarty said that, as lar us Mitchell
and Fitzsimmons were concerned, Mitchell
could beat Fitzsimmons in less than ten
rounds. Fogarty has seen them both fight"

A SUBURBAN EFFORT.
Wilkinsburg's Ball Team Try to De-
feat Our Sluggers but Fail.
AND BRIGGS RELEASED.
Jerry Denny Is Also Relinquished by the
Home Club officials.
THE COUNTY LEAGUE SCHEDULE

There were about 800 people at the ball
game Yesterday at Exposition Park, and,
while they did not see anything brilliant,
they saw something interesting now and
again. OF course, nobody need go to the
grounds expecting to see first-class base
ball argument when one team are profess
sionals and the other team are youngsters
who have to leave their manual toll for 10
hours to take part in the game. The great
idea of the game is to measure the worth of
our local amateurs and give practice for the
exnected world beaters who belong to the
Pittsburg club.
The grounds were bad yesterday, the
weather warm and the Williamsburg
team much better than the score would in
dicate. And it may not be out of line to
say that the local team must be much bet
ter than they have given indications of be-
ing if they want to make good argument
in the big contest.
Pitcher Gardeners Efforts.
Young Mr.. Gardiner pitched for the SUBJ
urban youths and he at times displayed
qualities of being a good pitcher, but he
became tired now and again and lost con-
troll OF the ball, and Smith could not handle
handled and that had very depressing
effect upon Gardiner. OF course there were
lots of runs and base hits scored by the side
opposing Gardiner, but his catcher and
third baseman were responsible for many of
them. The Williamsburg, team are not
bad amateur lot of PLAYERS, but they need
much steadying and more perfect battery.
The home team, to use the phrase, had an
easy task, because of the lack of team work
of their opponents, and now and again they
hit Gardiner when hits counted considera-
blv. No long hits were made off Gardeners
pitching, but ''little' hits were made at
Will. Mack caught and threw to bases ex-
cellently and so did Miller. Ehret was in
much better form than he was last Friday,
and Calvin was just as he always is. OF the
nine hits made by the Wilkinsburgs, five
two-ha --er of the game. In the eighth in
nln9 Beckley. when running to second. was
spiked accidently by Schumacher and re-
tired. Corkhill going 10 first and Camp to
left Held Camp had nothing to do.
The Stopped the Game.
The game was called at the end of the
eighth because every body was well satisfied
OF the work that had been done.
The visitors made their first run in the
second inning on single by johnson, a sac |
rifice by Kearns, wild pitch and single !
by Becker. In the eighth inning, Becker |
got his base on balls and scored on Gardi- |
ner's double to right field. Gardiner scored |
on Shumacher's single to right. The latter |
played an excellent game and hit extremely |
well.
The home players can be in much better |
form than they are. Some OF them are aw-
fully big and they ought to make it their
business to get down to the weight that
they know is their best play ing weight. |
They know what is better than anybody |
can tell them. The score:
