PARTY FEALTY.

and only tests of party fealty. When the national convention of any party promulgates a political platform, that platform embodies the principles of that party. Those who do not like the declarations and will not abide by it's provisions have the right and pri- yiIege of withdrawing from the party. But they have no right to remain in the party and attempt nullifcation of the plain provisions of party doctrine as set forth in the party platform as framed by the concensus of party opinion of the entire country in na- tlonal convention assembled.
 Yet there appear to be in Arizona republicans who think they nave a right Co remain within the party and nullify it's teachings and principles. As noted elsewhere on this page, the republican convention of Mohaye county has instructed it's delegation to the territorial convention to work and vote for the nomination to con- gress, by that convention, of the pOpu- list nominee, Buckley O'Neill. And from Phoenix there comes call for or ganization of silver republican leagues throughout the territory, they have organized one in Phgnixl which are to work to capture the territorial con- ycntion and carry through that body resolution repudiating the financial declaration of the national platform.
 TIE OASIS willingly comedies the right of those republicans who are dissatisfied with the position of their party upon the financial question to withdraw and identify themselves with some party whose tenets meet their views but it denies that they have a right to wrench the territorial organization out of line with the na- tional party upon any proposition whatever, whether it be the silver or any other question.
 There are many republicans in Ari- zona who endorse the platform of the party upon all questions. They ac- cept the platform promulgated at St. Louis and stand fairly and squareiy upon all it's provisions. Those repub- licans should permit no monkey busi- ness at Phoenix by those who now seem determined to run the conven- tion in direct defiance of all rule and all precedent.
 Should the so called silver republi- can leagues" dominate the convention which will assemble ct Phoenix the 2 inst, and carry out their programme, 1t will become the duty of all other republicans to immediately hold an other convention which will be the real republican convention.
 That convention should adopt set of ringing resolutions "a platform on which can stand all republicans whc are republican from principle, and who have not been carried away by momentary craze fed by demagogues and self seekers.
 The platform of the national repub- lican party, as adopted at St. Louis, is good republican doctrine, in this year of our Lord, 1896, and on that platform stands TIE OASIS and it's editor. This journal is going to sup port that platform even if it's editor is the only republican in Arizona to do so, and it is going to support q straight republican ticket, even should that ticket get but one vote in all Arizona, and that one vote cast by the editor

ABB make eleven tricks.
Trick /. AS original lead would be a very
simple matter for a follower OF DR.. Pole. Those
who led the spade suit made eight tricks at one
table and seven ut each OF the Others. AS rea-
sons for the trump lead have already been
given. His chances would be greatly improved
IL the trumps were out OF his way, and nothing
can be made out of the spade suit by estAb-
fishing it first, as the trump lead must follow.
and A may lose some of his cards OF reentry
while he is hammering away at the spades.
With his excellent cards OF reeutry A is quite
strong enough to play for his long suit but
adopts the system of trying to exhaust the
trumps first, because his success in that controls
his success in making his long suit.
Tricks 3. 4. As discards clearly indicate the
suit he would prefer to have led up to him. IL Is
has no strength of his own.
Trick 10. b carefully selects the suit which
AS second discard would indicate to be his sec
ond best chance for a trick.
Trick IL. The ending may surprise some
persons. but is perfectly natural. Y has n losing
club. and he takes the chance that u has led
from X Q OF spades. especially as AS original
discard indicated weakness in that suit.
Here is another hand in which the trump lead
may startle some players. although 1t is quite in
keeping with the trump-leading theory. and
maze three more tricks out of ABS cards
than were made at any other table. 1t was
played at Il recent practice match. and a lady

four.

1t Is Benenc-nt Creature, for It Can I'm
prove Juno Butter.
Ono of the most startling discoveries OF this
end of the century Is that microbes are re-
Quired To make first-class butter. Bacillus No.
Al is the scientific term applied TO the microbe
In question.
This startling microbe theory was first adj
vanced by a person who came from Denmark to
lecture on the art of butter making. The theory
which was received with scorn Is nowAadvocated
by many scientific men. and many cIeameries In
different parts Of the country now ihvest money
in the culture" In one State alone. Iowa, twen-
ty-eight creamorles are using the culture.
One OF the most satisfactory experiments was
made recently In a Connecticut creamery. June
butter, as is well known. Is In flavor about the
best produced during the year, and the effect -
bacillus No. Al upon June butter was therefore
especially interesting. Early In June. when tho
amount Of cream collected by the creamery
was very large. two large watts full OF cream
were collected. One of these was inoculated
with No. Al and the other was uuinoculated.
They were them allowed to stand in tho
same room. atS the same temperature,
for. the same length of time, to ripen,
ana were subsequently, %chuInod. The effect Of
cream produced, as was to be expected, an
excellent quality of butter, but No, Al, had an
aroma more pronounced and agreeable than that
Of the butter without the inocculation.
In both taste and odor the butter made by
incubation was decidedly superior TO that made
without IL. This butter was submitted, for
testing to- large number OF persons, and no
one had the slightest hesitancy In deciding that
No, Al made the superior quality of butter.
Experiments In improving the quality and
flavor OF butter have been made with over a
hundred different species Of, germs. but II was
not. until the experiinenter hit upon No. Al that
he found one 1T to put into his mouth.
The hrst attempt at an estimate Of bacteria in

Trick /. Theoretically, AS best lead Is tho
trump. He cannot trump anything, having
three cards Of each plain suit. If all the truinps
were out OF h;s way his hand would III dis
tinctly improved. because he cannot take two
tricks In spades. nor more than two in clubs
unless those suits go round three times. and
they are very uniikly to 20 around three times
unless trump pa come out tirst. To lend tho queen
right up TO the ace may seem absurd To some
persons who hive not considered the matter;
but the theory OF leading truinps is not always
to take the tricks with them. but to get them
out Of the way OF good lonE-sult hands. II The
queen will get the ace out Of tho way. why not
lead 1t? Had a led trumps from this hand,
Alb must have made five tricks, whether u
continued the trump lead or not, as will DO seen
by overplaying the hand.

Trick At Is now VS. turn to analy2c his
hand on the trump-leading theory. Two tricks
In diamonds are impossible unless the suit goes
round three times. More than one trick in
spades 10 also impossible unless that suit goes
round three times. Neither OF these events Is
probable unless trunps are out of the way FIRST.
y therefore reasons that his chances would be
greatly improved II he could get the trumps
out, and they are very slight unless he can do
so. With his partners zee turned. he is sure OF

GOSSIP OF THE DIAMOND.

The makeup OF the infield of the New
York ball team is causing considerable
speculation. The club has already signed
two first baseInen-Harry Davis. the clever
youngster from PawtucEet, and Big
Bill" Clark of Scranton. who led the
Eastern League in batting last season.
To decide which will cover the bag will be
a problem. Davis is fast on his feet,
natural hitter and beautiful fielder,
but il Clark Can show speed in getting over
ground it is quite possible that Davis will
go into the outfield, with Big Bilf' on
first base. Under Manager Irwin's con-
troll are four players who can cover second
base. They are Capt. Gleason. Fred Pfef-
fer, jim Stafford, and George Davis. iiea-
son has already made known his preference
for this position, which he played with
SO much cleverness in Baltimore last year
When the men reach Jacksonville the pros
lem will be solved by Manager Irwin as
soon as possible. The likeliest arrange
ment on paper appears to be these: Harry
Davis, first base: Gleason. second; George
Davis, third; Pfeffer. short: or Bill Clark,
first base: Pfeffer. second: Gleason, third;
Fuller, short; or Harry Davis, first base;
George Davis second: GLEASON: third; Con-

NO SELECTION MADE YET

Still Undecided,

for Pleasure Graft.

Philadelphia, Feb. 1S.-Thoinas Rea,h,
chairman OF the rowing committee of the
University of Pennsylvania returned home
early Yesterday morning from Saratoga,
where he had been looking over the racing
course on the beautiful lake. II was pro-
posed that representatives OF the four col
leges which vii. compete for honors in the
great Intercollegiate regatta to be held on
June 26 should assemble there and look
over The course together. As 1t turned

Columbia were present. Harvard and
Cornell were not represented.

ourselves very much. We walked OH the
Ice over the course and We're nruch pleased.
Saratoga Lake would be splendid place
10 hold the regatta, but il has not yet been
decided upon, and won't be for about two
weeks. The representatives of Harvard
and Cornell Will view the course. and after
that meeting will be held, when the place
for holding the tig race will bc finally de-
cided.''
Saratoga has many advantages over the
other places named for the ho.ding OF the
race. The wafer is comparatively smooth,
and. above all things. the shells will not be
troubled by the roll made by the large ex-
cursion boats. There are no large boats
on the lake, aud for this reason a strong
bid is being made 10 have the race take
place there, while abundant opportunities
are offered to the thcusa nds of spectators
who viii attend the race 10 view the course
from start TO finish.
The number Of large boats ca rrying
crowds of persons over the course to
watch the race has always greatly inter-
fered with one or more Of the crews,
which have often felt HAT they were not
feairly beaten. HcRte Saratoga is looked
upon favorabiy. None oT the other courses
thought of-Poughkcepsie, Springfield ard
possibly New London-possess the same
advantages, and for a like reason the Tor
rcsdale course, on the Della ware, cham
pioned by Col. Morrell. is not being seri-
ously considered la selecting the best place.
or all the courses Springfield is the least
likely To meet with favor III the eyes OF the
varsity regatta committee. The course is
said to be crooked and the water shallow.
This would give one crew slight advan-
taec over the Other, and would dctract
materially from the merits of the race.

POWERS STILL PROTESTING

New York. Feb. IS.-The minor leagues

dent Powers, of the Eastern Lea que, venii-
lated the grievance today. He said: The
Eastern Leagu championship season closes
on September Is. and the National League
games are wound up on October /. In the
interim the big league clubs can take a
player on trial. whether we consent or n ot
and do not have to pay a cent for the priv
ilege. II he does not fill the bill he is
dropped and our club is thereby the loser.
Now, my argument is that, If We re-
ceive protection under the national agree
ment and pay for II. We should be allowed
10 have full control over our players SO
that in case any big league club wants
one of them he must be drafted and paid
for In the usual way. The national board
should remedy the evil by reopening the
case OF the miner lea que at Its coming meet

Unless the national board makes some
concession on the above point there is
