THE PLATFORM.

AS we are firm in the conviction
that the perpetuity of good gov
eminent must rest on the rule OF
intelligence and white supremacy,
we, therefore, favor a restricted
suffrage based on property or
educational qualification and the
payment Of poll-tax.
We. are opposed to monopolies,
trusts and com bines, which con-
centrate power in the control OF
the few and which are oppressive
and detrimental to the welfare OF
the masses.
We are opposed to the grant by
railroads of free passes to any
person having official position or
connection with the government
of the State, from governor down );
including memb ers Of the General
Assembly. We believe that an
official having in his possession
q free pass could not consistently
oppose measures which may be Of
vital interest to the railroads, and
believe the free pass system is un-
Just, and a discrimination against
the people not SO favored, because
they do not hold official position
or have connection with the gov
eminent of the State.
We consider it scandalous that
as a matter of notoriety, many
State officials and judges con-
stantly travel on free passes ovel
railroads whose interests come be-
fore such officials and judges fol
review and decision.
We are opposed to any discrim'
nation in the assessment Of prop.
erty of any kind, and favor sys'
tenn Of valuations as equitable te
railroads, to the express, to tht
sleeping coaches, to the telegraph
and to the telephone companies

TERMINAL ROADS RESTLESS
DISSATISFIED WITH PRESENT GRAIN
RATE ADJUSTMENT.
IntimatiOns of n Probable Grain Rate
Wnr-MapIe Leaf Cuts Kansas
City-st. Paul Passenger Rate
Hallway News.

Kansas City terminal lines are growing
restless under the present situation as re-
CARDS grain shipments here. The forty
eight hour inspection rule has resulted in
most of the grain destined east of here
being shipped on through billing. thus pre-
venting the terminal lines from participant
ing in the business. and the arrangement
by which the Southern roads are accept
ing grain shipments from Kansas City at
the balance of the through rate. not sub
ject to agreed minimums. is unsatisfactory
to the lines from the East terminating at
the Missouri river. In addition to its ten
dency to force business South as against
the East, they also claim TO see in ii a
probable extension to other territory, and
all to their detriment.
On the part of the freight officials of
some of the roads there is strong talk OF
a fight to have the grain rate situation re-
worst of IL ever since the readjustment at
the close of last years rate war. and IL is
intimated that hopes of an agreement
which would equaliZe matters having been
practically abandoned. a rate war may be
instituted in the near future with a view
to forcing recognition OF the terminal lines
claims.
1t is explained that there is little grain
to move at this season: that a rate war
consequently not result disastrously
to any of the roads. and that the situation
would be such that when the new crop was
ready to move next fall the strong lines
would be under the necessity of making
rates. Then the terminal lines would ex-
pect to have a hand in the adjustment.
something they have not been allowed to
do during the past year.

HOMING PIGEONS.
FOrty-seven Birds From Chicago VIII
BE Released mt Liberty Mt
Suurfse-

At the home of James Costello in Liberty,
NO., at sunup this morning. forty-seven
carrier pigeons from Chicago will be turned
loose to make the flight back to their lofts
In Chicago. Many of the pigeons nave in
dividual records in former flights, and it is
the hope of Mr.. Costello and the owner in
Chicago that a record will be broken and
the pigeons prove time winners.
The birds reached Liberty Tuesday morn
ing, all in good condition. 1t was the inten-
ton to send fifty of them, but owing 10 the
sickness of some Of the birds three were
kept at home and the others sent. They
made the trip to Liberty in splendid shape
and have been quite contented since their
arrival. They were fed only on dry peas
and given all of the water they cared to
consume. The instructions were to keep the
feed before them up to the minute they
were liberated.
Tit birds are from the loft of a fancier
who has been showing carrier pigeons for
many years, and has done all he could to
make his loft the best in the land. 1t is his
hope that a short time may be made be-
tween the two cities. The distance in air
line has been carefully noted and the time
made by the birds will go in the record the
loft has prepared.
Mr.. Costello is not a pigeon ~fancier, but is
a friend of the fancier at Chicago, and the
birds were sent to him to be liberated. The
test will be followed shortly by others.

NOW WE'LL LOSE SOME MORE
THE BLUES CAN RES FOR SEVERAL
WEEKS ON FRIDAYS VICTORY.
Bert Abbey Proves n Good Thing for
Detroit and He Is Hit Hard md
Often-BIues Scatter Their
Hits Very Nicely.

Detroit, Mich, June 12.-(Special) Sen
sational fielding by Herr Steinfeldt, or
Texas, punctuated the game at Bennett
park between Detroit and Kansas City to-
day, which was won in a walk by De-
troit. In the third round he distinguished
himself by running in on Lakes hot ground
er, scooping it up with his right hand and
without stopping to recover shot the ball
with unerring accuracy to Whistler. 1t
was one of the p~rettiest stops and throws
ever made on any diamond. And in the
seventh, with two on bases, the tall Texan
intercepted Abbey's sinuous grounder and,
touching third, passed the ball over to
first, completing a smart double play. Dun
gan and Nichol made sideshow catches.
Delehanty carried of the honors for the
visitors. He had five put outs and seven
assists. ORourke and C-onnaughtOn also
played good ball.
The story of the game is contained in
the two opening chapters. The Wolverines
fell upon Bert Abbey's twisters like a thou
sand of brick from the top of a sky scraper
in the initial round. Hines, frost and
DUNCAN swatted singles, Burnett sliced on
a triple and Steinfeldt helped himself to
a carom for two cushions. This savage
onslaught, together with a base on balls
10 Whistler and a bad throw TO first, drove
In four runs, three of them earned.
Whistler himself was called out for hitting
the ball with his hand while being run
Egan began badly and the COW punchers
went after his scalp and gave the half hol-
iday crowd a big scare by bombarding, his
delivery for four singles, which, with a
steal, a wild throw by Hines and a JuGgle
by Nichol. passed in two tallies. During
the game twenty hits were made, nine be-
ing picked off in the first inning.
Bert Abbey had not recovered his equil-
ibrium in the second, and the locals smote
his curves for three hits and annexed
three more runs. Hines beat out a Dun
NichOl sacrificed, frost tore Off a single,
Dungan drew a base and Burnett sent a
%grOunder to Delehanty, forcing DUNCAN.
Connaughton sped the ball tn first in
search Of a double, but Burnett was too
fleet, two runs coming in on the play.
After that Abby settled down like a man
who has sworn on drinking and kept the
pledge until the sixth inning. when he
again fell from grace, singles by Allen and
Hines, Steinfeldt's second swipe for two
cushions and Egan's sacrifice sending in a
run. After the first only one visitor reached
third, and he scored in the ninth on a
brace Of hits and an outfield fly. The De-
troit outheldeTs were given and accepted
twelve chances. In the seventh Lake re-
tired and BlanfOrd finished the game. The
score:
