at between 5000 and 300. Ground rules
were adopted SO that hit into the
crowd counted for only two bases and d
PASSED ball was good but for one base.
The crowd hemned in the entire field.
Nearly three hundred came down from
Lewiston for the victory in the morning

Grandpa Morse had such good luck in
the morning that they put him in again.
He pitched good ball but McDougall
pitched better. Killeen was injured
while praoticipg aud laid off. The crowd
was typical holiday one and they took
the keenest enjoyment in the Portland's
fine work. The police protection under
Marshal ST. John was well nigh perfect
and they deserve credit. 1t was a fine
day for game.

coon DEMOCRATIc DOCTRINE.

From the Charleston Gazette.
The Gazette favors aud will con-
tinue to advocate the restoration of
silver to the position it occupied as
money, prior TO the demonstration
act of 1873.
The Gazette also favors and will
advocate the time honored Demo-
cratic doctrine of ga tariff for reve.
nue. only" and we are opposed to
the raising Of any more revenues
than are absolutely necessary to
defray the actual expenses of the
government, honestly and economi-
cally administered. We believe that
sufficient revenues are now being
collected to meet every just and
legitimate demand upon our ma
tional treasury and the so much
talked Of existing deficits are the
results of sxtraVagant appropria-
tons rather than q lack Of suffi-
ciently high taxatiens. We shall
continue to advocate all needed re-
trenchments IN public expenditures.
The Gazette is unalterably op-
posed to the farther issue and sale
OF government bonds for any pur.
pose whatever, especially in time Of
profound peace, aud we unhesitat-
ingly denounce the expressed senti
ments Of some sO.calleG modern
statesmen that ga public debt is a
public blessing"
We believe as did Thomas Jsffer-
son, that "eyery succeeding gener-
alton has the right to the enjoy
ment OF the earth without any en-
cumbrance upon it,"
"Rotation in office" had, for al
most a century after the formation
Of our government. been declared
to be one Of the chief safeguards Of
the people, and it was left for mod
ern politicians to fasten upon our
federal statutes what is known as
the civil service law" every idea
and principal Of which was borrow
ed from England aud other mon
archical forms Of government. The
Gazette favors the speedy and un-
/ qualified repeal Of this law.
We believe that the sooner the
people return to q strictly practical
adherence to the foregoing priuci.
pies the sooner will happiness and
prosperity be restored to the great
masses, which means happiness and
prosperity to our common country.

THE OLD SOLDIERS.

Written for THr Ansvs By our stan roet.
Old soldiers long detained below,
Your journeys almost DER;
You fought the battle years ago
Amidst the cannon's roar.
You saw the blood flow freely
From many a blood-pierced side;
And as you looked across the field
You saw your friend had died.
You heard the cannon's boom,
Till life seemed hard to live;
Ani often in your memory came
The thought your life you'd give.
Old soldiers, where are all your guns,
Aud bayonets shining bright?
You laid them all away in peace,
And calmly rest tonight
Yes. calmly sleep my soldiers brave,
And dream of war no more;
Go dry your tears and rest your mind,
The battles all are DER.
Old soldiers. now your hair is gray,
And on your cane you rest;
Some of you have scars indeed,
Yes, scars upon your breast.
Old soldiers, where are your friends
You met in days gone by?
Some, l think, are living yet.
And some were called to die
Sleep on, dead soldiers, sleep,
Till you hear the trumpet's sound,
Then go and dwell where wars no more
On Fame's eternal camping ground.
Yes, my soldiers, all lie still,
You died your land 10 save;
And when the summer flowers come
Wen deck your long made grave.
Wen build monument high,
In memory of you all;
Your names will never die
Till tho last great roll-call
Some of you have lost leg,
And arms that are missing, too;
o, yes, you suffered many pains,
My bold warriors true.
Pain-oh, yes, its all been pain,
For thirty years gone by;
Sometimes / know you often wished
To give up ali and die

A Row In Congress Over the uuseat.
Ing OF Representative Cobb,
or Alabama.
From our regular correspondent.
WASHINGTON, ID. c.,
nril Ok tSOe

| April 20, 1896. \
Senator Cockrell succeeded in his
humane effort to have the Senate
amend the Indian appropriation
bill so that it provides that two
years may be allowed the sectarian
(Oatholic) Indian Schools to pre-.
pare to turn their scholars over to
government schools, If they do not
wish to teach them at their own ex.
pense ; but there is no certainty
that the A. Z. A., which has shown
its control of the House several
timos during the session, will agree
20 it.
There has been some excitement
In Congress this week on account
of statement made by Reprosen-
tative Sulser, of N. Y, to the eff
feet that Walter Dygert, young
American recently imprisoned by
the Spanish authorities, had boeu
secretly executed. Mr.. Suffers
information came from Gu ubans in
New York who got 1t direct from
their friends on the island. Sec
fetary Olney thinks there is u MIS-
take about it, as he has the promise
of the Spanish authorities that
young Dygert would be given his
liberty and allowed TO leave Cubs.
III investigation proves that execu-
ton story to be true Spain would
better look out for serious trouble.

men. are, and in election years, il at
no other time, the expressed disap-
probation Of the people is quickly
deferred 10 by the men who control
Congress. A case in point is the
Pacific Railroad Bill, which has
been reported TO both House and
Senate. Now, although this bill
involves an enormous amount of
money, and that it is much more
favorable to u. =. Hu arlington and
his ring Of capitalists than to the
government, as was so ably shown
by the protest written by Senator
Morgan, from a sick bed and pre-.
ssnted to the Senate as a minority
report, IT was proposed to railroad
1t through Congress during the last
days OF the session. This program
had the support Of Speaker Reed
and OF leading men in the Senate,
and was being whooped up by
Huntington and his lobby. The
bill has been so generally con.
demned by the people that a halt
has been called in the program, and
it is now said that the bill will not
be acted upon at this session of
Congress, il it ever is in its present
shape.

Senator Smith, OF N. j., has
probably been scratched off Andy
Carnegie's list of friends, if he was
ever on it. The reason is an
amendment which Mr.. Smith
wishes to have attached to the
Naval appropriation bill. This
amendment instructs the Secretary
of the Navy to make no contracts
for armor plate for the battle ships
provided for IN that bill unless the
price be at least as low AS $500 a
ton of 1000 pounds. Carnegie is
now making Uncle Sam pay $500
q ton for armor plate, but has prom
ised to reduce the price, to prevent
the government undertaking to
make its own armor. Senator
Smith wants to make sure that the
reduction Is what it should be, and
yet there is no injustice in the fig
ures he names as that is the price
at which Carnagie aud his associates
have taken a Russian contract. IL
remains to be seen whether Carne-
gie's friends IN Congress can head
of that Smith amendment.

ESTABLISHING HIS IDENTITY.

Not long ago an amorous young
man sent letter to a German girl,
says the Wiber Register, and this
postscript was added
"That my darling may make no
mistake, remember that | will wear
a light pair Of trousers and dark,
cut-away coat In my right hand /
will carry small cane and in my
left cigar. Yours ever. Adolphe. :"
The father replied courteously,
stating that his daughter had given
him authority to represent her at
the appointed place at the time
agreed on. His postscript was as
follows
"Dot my son may make no mis-.
take, | will be dreshed in mine shirt
