BASEBALL.

A big crowd is expected at Athletic
park today at the ball games as the
score by innings will be received from
the Tufts-Lyons-M Monogram game in
San Francisco during the local game be-
tween the Francis Wilson's and Trilbys
and Francis Wilson's and ADJ. trails. The
returns will reach the grounds direct.
Letters from the boys in Frisco report
all In good shape and confident of VIM
ming. 1t is barely possible that Harvey
will pitch for the Tufts. Today's game
settles the championship of Southern
California between the Trilbys and Will
sons, and a good, close and exciting
game is assured. Game will be called
promptly at 1:45.

two gaudily clad heathens armed with
long poles, with curious lantern
shaped arrangement on the ends, who
made a feint of fighting the dragon and
retardng his progress. The body was
over 200 feet long and composed of scales
or plates about 4xG inches in size, each
made of heavily embroidered silk and
edged with SWanSGoWn. Hanging down
the sides and partially concealing the
bearers underneath was tri-colored
strip of silk in yellow, red and lavender.
The tail was a gaudy piece of workman

feathers and large brass sleigh bells,
which jingled merrily as the dragon
ashed his extremity

Joke across the shoulders All the
men Of this company carried arms and
as before went in couples each in a diff
ferent costume and weapons of all
kinds and shapes. Some carried shields
and swords, others huge cheese knives
that made them round shouldered to
pack along; some had straight lances,
others spears and still others what look
ed like chopping knives at the end of a
pole. The detachment was brought up
by four men with Winchester rifles and

proceeded. The last division was com
posed of the rich merchants and big
bugs of Chinatown in carriages preced-
ed by their own band, also in hack.
After marching through the business
section the column turned east and went

clear white costumes, as that Is the
Chinese mourning color and is not worn
on festal occasions. Interspersed among
the marchers were carried the beautiful
banners of heavy silk, richly embroid-
cred in allegorical designs in gold and
silver thread. At the rear of this d.
vision a large image Of fish was car
ried aloft at the end of pole, imme-
diately preceding the dragon, whose
coming was heralded by the booming of
a monstrous drum as big as a hogshead

the evening, when the closing ceremo-
MES were being performed. A wooden
structure had been erected at the north
END OF Niger alley, open at one end,
facing down the street toward the quar-
ters of the big devils. Here the priests
chanted their prayers and invoked the
spirits of the universe in behalf of the
disciples of Confucius.
Late Friday night, after IL o'clock, one
OF the huge devils standing at the main
entrance had been carried through Chi
natown. stopping at every doorway. in
order to drive out any smaller devils
who might have taken UP their quar-
ters there and remove their evil influ-
ence from the buildings. This completed
the work of the Shon Di Low, and they
were ready to be sent back to their abiG-
ing place again. They had rid the COM
munity of all lesser evil spirits, and their
own malignant dispositions being ap-
peased by the Difference shown during
the festival, 1t was time they should de-
part.
Accordingly, late at night, after the
greater part of the crowd had departed
and the rites could be performed with

Today the various implements and

Monday the temporary structures which
housed them will be torn down. With

side the plaza, and moved off with
promptitude which is to be commended,
especially as contrasted with the usuai
manner in which fiesta, political anu
other parades are started. There was
mistake made however, by Chew sue,
who acted as grand marshal, in that he
started the column straight downtown
instead of first proceeding through
Chinatown, as had been arranged. In
consequence the parade passed through
Spring and Main streets between Ills
and 1:45-nearly three-quarterS OF an
hour sooner than eXpected-and thous-
ands of persons, who were anxious 20
get glimpse of the strange spectacle,
were either disappointed or else had to
go down to Chinatown and be in at the
finish.
The column comprised some 500 men in
all and was the largest turnout yet made
in this city by the Chinese. Four mount
ed police led the way, and were followed
by Chew Sue, the grand marshal, mount
ed on a chestnut horse gaudily draped
in yellow, and with a flower r-bedecked
bride. Chew wore straw hat about
three feet in diameter, but as it made
him look like a mushroom. he allowed
it to hang on his back the greater part of
the time, and rode bareheaded. Then
beautiful American flag was borne
ahead Of all the rest. Following this
came two coolies bearing on their shoul-
ders poles to one end of which was fas-
tened large red silk flag, and al the
other end a brass gong, which they
pounded with great zeal and untiring
energy. A full military brass band
marched next, and from time to time
played a lively quickstep, but it's music
was drowned in the crash of the huge
gongs, which the bearers seemed to
never cease beating. After the band
marched some forty Chinese. two
abreast, carrying curiously shaped in-
struments, such as were used in Chiua
warfare centuries agone.
Each pair of men were dressed alike,
and carried the same kind of weapons,
but every couple had a distinctive CO.'S
tune and style OF spike, spear or battle
ak. Some wore lavender with white
sashes, others various shades of green
and red sashes, and yellow, blue and
red and other combinations were to be

The republicans claim that
the intelligent voter has saved
the national honor. Where did
they get their intelligent ma
jority? If we are to judge the
intelligent vote of the country
by the intelligent votes cast for
Morris we will prefer to be
classed among the illiterate.
The votes which elected Morris
we're cast on the Iron ranges
where the majority of the peo-
pie are foreigners. Duluth
gave Towne a large majority
and the people who supported
G.. A. Towne 80 faithfully are
our most intelligent and brainy
citizens. The republican man.
ayers did not dare to attempt
to influence the educated
masses of Duluth but spent

knew ignorance predominated.

Are on Record.

The republicans have won the
election on false pretenses. They
have declared their intentions to
do certain things which they
never intended to perform. They
have guaranteed certain conse-
quences which the policies they
are pledged to carry out cannot
produce.
The republican party secured
many votes because gifts declara-

such pretension it was not sim

Gated ideas opposed to any kind
of bimetallism. The future will
prove that we were right and
that those who voted for it's
candidates, because of such pro-
fession, have been deceived.
We have said that the gold
standard meant lower prices,
lower wages and an increased
strain on lab or unions, tending
to the ultimate breaking down
of the protection afforded by
them to their members. The re-

meant increased prosperity for
neutrality-suspicious. work and
more wages" The future will
demonstrate that we are right.
We have said that the triumph
of the republican party means
increased power for the trusts
and combinations. By their
votes the people OF this country
have said that they believed the
contrary. Mark well our pre-
dicti0ns, for it will come true.
We have said that the triumph

the retirement of the greenbacks
and greater power over financial
conditions for the national bank

What is Honest Money?

The advocates of free silver
coinage are denounced as the
enemies of "sound" and ''hon-
est" money. They are charged
with an effort to "debase the
currency" and workingmen are
told that while everything else
would fall to half value if the
silver policy prevailed, all the
necessaries of life-a1l they eat
and drink and wear-would
rise in price, and it would cost
them double as much to live
and support their families as it
does now.
Just how the necessaries of
life could double in price when
the cost of raising and produce
Ting such nccessaries was re-
duced so per cent these econo-
mists do not explain. They
content themselves with tell
ing people if the volume of
currency is increased by the
double standard; if silver coin
is joined with gold coin at a
fixed ratio as legal tender for
the payment of all debts, they
will get no more salary or
wages than they receive at
present and will only be able to
buy half as much with their
money as they can buy now.
How is this condition of affairs
to be brought about they do not
take the trouble to explain, any
more than they seek to offer an
explanation of how the owner
of fifty-three cents worth of
silver bullion, who takes it to
to the mint, can have it made
of the value of a full dollar by
coinage when they tell us that
after it is coined into a dollar it
will be worth no more than
ffty-three cents, and possibly
less.
If there was nothing but gold
coin in use, and plenty of it for
all, there might be some sense
in the talk of "debasing' the
