BOWLING.
The Hayseeds Defeat the Missions and
THE Turner'S Get the Pennant.


THE Turner'S Get the Pennant.
Although there are four more
games TO be bowled under the
league schedule, the race for the
championship is now virtually set
tied, and the pennant will fly from
the Turner's flagstaff.
The championship had been con-
coded to the Missions, as ipdica.
tions were quite favorable for
them. They had only one more
game to play, and that was with
the Hayseeds, the tail-enders,
which have been wiped up by
every team in the league, and all
that remained for the Missions
was to appear OH the alley, knock
down the pins and take the rag.
But the Hayseeds were not the
"rubes" their name implies, and
last night was one time that their
opponents failed to do them up. A
more opportune time could not
have been appointed, for while it
shattered the Missions hopes for
the championship, it demonstrated
that it is not the weakest team
that holds last place. Although
the tail-enders always come in for
large share of ridicule, especially
when they are defeated, this is
one time when the tailenders have
the call.
The Hayseeds were an important
factor in the race, in that it is due
to them that the championship
goes to the Turner's.
1t was a complete waterloo for
for the Missions last night. The
were-to-be champions bowled a
mediocre game, while the Hay
seeds put up silver-lined. gilt
edged article.

FOLLOWING is the famous proph-
ecy of Thomas Darlington (Lord }
Macaulay, the eminent British man
of letters and statesman: -
"The day will come in the United
States when the multitude, distressed
by hard times, will be called upon to
choose legislature. On one side is
statesman, preaching patience, re-
spect for vested rights, strict observ-
ance of public faith.
"On the other are demagogues rant
ing about the tyranny of capitalists
and usurers. seriously apprehend
that the people of the United States
will in some such season of adversely
do things which will prevent pros
perity from returning; that they will
act like people who should in n year
of scarcity devour all the seed corn,
and thus make the next year a year
not of scarcity but of absolute famine.
There will be, fear, spoliation; the
spOliation will produce fresh spolia-
ton.
"When a society has once entered
on this downward progress there is
nothing to stop it. Either civilian
ton or liberty must perish. Either
some Caesar or Napoleon will seize
the reins of government with strong
hand, or your republic will be as
fearfully plunged by barbarians in
the twentieth century as the Roman
empire was i'm the fifth; with this
difference, that the Huns and Van
dals, who ravaged Rome, came from
without, while your Huns and Van
dals will have been engendered with
in your own country by your own
institutions

A GREAT many good people be-
lieve the gold standard means that
only gold shall be the currency of
the country. There never was a
greater error. The gold standard
means that every dollar in circula-
ton, whether coin or paper, shall
be worth as much as a gold dollar.
That is what it means, and all il
means. 1t means that in England,
France, Germany and the United
States, and it is only in the gold
standard countries that actual,
practical bimetallism exists. The
theoretical bimetallism of theAmer-
lean free coinage apostle does not
exist anywhere, never has existed
anywhere, and never will exist any
where. Who is fool enough to
have coined 800 of gold if he
could take the gold bullion to the
market and buy enough silver bull
lion with it to have even 10l silver
dollars coined of equal bt-paying
capacityp At this time 800 gold
bullion will buy 5000 silver bullion
at the ratio of Is to l.
Every country that has free coin
age of both metals is on a silver
basis and coins no gold for domes-
tic currency, and every country
that has the gold standard coins
and circulates as money much sill
yer and circulates it side by side
with gold.--''Savoyard," inCourier-

THE Popocrats fear to have the
folly of silverism land bare TO the
farmers. At Owenton last week it
is alleged that Blackburn instigated
his crowd to howl down John NJ.
Atherton. At Louisville on Satur-
day night Is Popocratic speakers
were stationed at different parts of
the city to make speeches and draw
away any popular demonstration in
favor of Palmer and Buckner at
the notification meeting, but the
scheme failed to work, for crowds
were turned away at the entrances
of the Auditorium because of lack
of standing room even inside.
A cause that can not bear the
most complete public discussion is
desperate one indeed. All that

need is true information on the
subject of silverism, and the other

"Do not kick because some one has

Remember more, that these same
so-called rich people, instead of
buying fine buggy or carriage,
went to market, church, ETC., hold

old wagon box. They never en-
joyed the luxury of bicycle that
cost from $50 to 800, that they
saved their money and walked
when the old wagon was dispensed

knew the difference between the
cut of Prince Albert coat and
that of cutaway. 1t was the
