SCORE BY INNING.
AT PLATTEvILLE.

Lancaster went to Platteville to
play a game of baseball Tuesday and
thereby hangs tale After the quiet
and friendly game between the same
clubs in Lancaster last Saturday it
was expected that in return Platte
vile would discard its customary
tactics Of robbing and notorious m
reference by spectators. But alas,
for our confidence IN frail humanity,
especially Platteville humanity
As large a crowd as ever assembled
to see a ball game in Platteville was
at the campus when the time arrived
to call the game. There was quite
lengthy dispute over the choice Of
umpires. Philipson, who was acting
as manager for Lancaster. wanted
Laughlin Of Benton to umpire while
Gribble. Platteville's manager. insist
ed on putting in Cabanis and after
all kinds Of promises of fair play. etc,
by Gribble. Kennedy and others and
not to disappoint the largo crowd
present. the game was started under
protest with Cabanis as umpire Mr.
Cabanis may be good, square um-
pire but his judgment in the game
Tuesday was terribly warped by
prejudice
As for the game itself, never was
there seen worse exhibition Of rowdy.
dirty ball playing than was put up by
the Platteyille aggregation. In the
third inning Platteville was At bat,
had three men on bases with two men
out, Furry hit the ball toward Sulli-
van; Jess, who was running from Sec
ond 10 third, deliberately held Sulli-
van to prevent his fielding the ball.
Sullivan wriggled himself loose and
! got the ball over to Lewis at least &c
feet ahead Of Furry, but this did not
prevent Furry from perpetrating' as
dirty and low an act as was ever seen
on ball field He deliberately ran
out of his regular path and ran his
knee into Lewis, disabling him, knock
inf him senseless. In the same in.
ming Hamilton was at bat, Sullivan
was on first. Hamilton made pretty
two base hit TO left field. Sullival
went to third on the hit while Tracy
deliberately held Hamilton at first.
The umpire saw the play but refused
to give Hamilton second. Gregg then
got his base on balls filing ;he bases
keyes was at bat, strong hitter, and
here is where the fine work was done.
The first ball pitched went over the
plate about six inches high. strike +,
the umpire said. The next ball was
an out curve that went at least a foot
and half wide. Two strikes, the
umpire smiled. The next one went
over Keyes head and knowing that
strike would ne called he swung at the
ball retiring the side. But the de-
cision that capped them AL and that
made the boys quit came in the sixth
inning. Below was on third andTracy
on second when jess hi. the ball
toward Sullivan. This time Tracy
era bbed Sullivan TO prevent his field
ing the ball but sully got it and
slammed the ball BY beautiful throw
toGregg catchingBielow who was max
ing for home. BY at least A feet from
the plate, but the umpire .alled him
safe and On this.decision the Lancaster
boys left the field. Then ensued a |
scene which any city making any pre-

ought to be ashamed Of. Rocks and
sticks were thrown at the Lancaster
players and people and for half mile
the boys had to fight their way through
lot of sayages. Some big six
footer hit little Roy Ivey back of the
ear with a rock. Roy Immediately
turned and hit him:with his umbrella.
Result Roy was dragged through
main street by the assistant marshal,
but was afterwards released. Elliot
and Hall carry souvenirs in the shape
OF bruises of their march from the
campus to the hotel and several of the
bowling Deryishes We're also laid low
by the flying missiles thrown by their
brother heathens. The acts of the
mob were severely condemned by the
best people of Platteyille.
Lancaster took the lead from the
start and held it until they left the
field when the score was s to Z in our
favor. Gregg and Elliot made home
runs. The boys played an errorless
game. Hamilton catch Of Kennedy's
fly was easily the feature of the game.
And Lancaster still remains unbeaten.

SOMEWHAT IDIOTIC.

from Grover Cleveland or Billy Bryan
down to the smallest pin-head politician
is opposed to giving the American farm
er the first preference in his own mar
ket. They would if they could tear out
of the Dingley bill the whole schedule
of duties framed by the Republicans to
protect the farmers.
Some free trade organs say import
duties ON foreign agricultural prod
ucts do not protect American farmers.
Such talk is simply idiotic- There isn't
in Kansas farmer so densely ignorant
that he does not know that to give
Canada and all foreign countries abso-
lutely free access into our markets
with their agricultural products would
amazingly increase the competition in
those markets to the distinct injury of
the agricultural interests Of this state.
For the past few years farmers have
known to their sorrow what partial
free trade has done to them, and they
know absolute free trade would be cor
respondingly worse for them.
II is astonishing how supremacy ride
ulcus a free trade organ can make itself
when it lets itself out on this sub
iect.

MAY MAKE TROUBLE.

There is one article in the Hawaiian
annexation convention which will prob
ably cause no little International fric-
tion-namely, the article which provides
that 1.-THE treaties of the United States
with other countries be substituted for
the treaties of Hawaii with the same
countries III controlling the information
al relations of the islands" When
France, after the conquest of the Ho-
vas, claimed that our commercial rela-
tons with the Malagassy government
had been amulet by the fact of the
French occupation and that the COM
mercial relations of Madagascar with
the outer world should thereafter be
governed solely by French law, this
government entered a protest; and the
abrogation of our treaty with NADIA
eascar has never been conceded by the
United States. The issue which may
he raised by the clause above quoted
from the annexation treaty involves a
still unsettled question of international
law. In view of our attitude in the
Madagascar incident, however, we
could not consistently rake a position
against which we protested when it
was assumed by France. The privi
leges which other nations have acquired
by treaties with Hawaii cannot be an
nulled by stroke Of Secretary Sher-
mans pen without the consent of all
parties concerned.
