EASE BAIL GOSSIP

BASE BALL GOSSIP
It has been enormously stated that the
Chicagos would play but one game here,
and proceed Immediately to st. Louis where
they open the season. This is not true and
the Colts will play here again this after
noon.
Hallers men are confident of having bet
ter luck this afternoon. The team was o
little ratified yesterday, but they are by
no means disheartened.
The Chicago players say that the local
team is the best they have gone against in
the Southern league and that they should
make an excellent showing this year.
About 200 enthusiasts were in attendance
yesterday and nearly as many more wit
messed the game from the railroad track
by the center field.
The members of the Chicago team are all
big men. Lange, Ryan and Common Will
weigh as much as the entire local club with
Shorty Switzer left out.
Dick Knox has not yet gotten his eye on
the ball, but when he does he will make
some of the Southern league twirlers feel
faint.

telligeDt, at leaSt, dS NcW WtNi'' editor, and that Is not saying much.
 Our New Mexico editor lugubrious- ly opens opens his article saying; "The native population of New Mexl- co, that Is the people of Spanish and Mexican descent, are not enlisting 10 any serious extent. Various reasons are given for this sad state of affairs. How sac? Yes, indeed; sad in the extreme. Hope the editor has ms large handkerchief. Just think of the stupidity of that "large native popu- lation" that has repeatedly been told that it is not fit to vote, and yet can't understand that 1t is it to be shot, and should enjoy it. "Morimur GU it arma ruamus n-"Let us rush into arms and die"-should be it's shout, whilst the New Mexico editor holds the f0rt-at home.
 Because New Mexico is slow in ill- ing her quota, our New Mexico editor says 'she should never be admitted to statehood" To be consistent then with himself, he will have to read sew eral of the southern states out of "the statehood" states up to this that have been enjoying all the privileges of 'statenood" The deiciency in furnishing quotas is over 10000 men, mostly charged to southern states. These southern states, like New Mexico, are long on colonels and editors, but short on priyates. North Carolina's quota calls for 7sS men; she succeeded in enlisting 60 or NJ ississippi's 500, IlIinos has furnished 400. Capt. T. c. McGhee, who has had recruiting office at the corner Of Dearborn and Washington streets, in this city, started last week for the south with company Of 100 men. It Is stated in our city papers of today, that officers are on their way now from Louisiana and Alabama and other southern states to seek recruits here. So you see, Mir. Editor, "there are others" The poor native Amer jeans of New Mexico" need not be lonely. IT the Santa Cruz priest is to blame in New Mexico, who is to blame in the southern states? Why, the same bad man, the Santa Cruz priest; I heard him wink the other eye at the people of the southern states; it sounded just like growing turnip.
 Now, Mir. Editor, if have read into your editorial a meaning foreign to your mind, no one would be more pleased than myself to stand corrected. My personal acquaintance with you re- suited in my coming to the con clusion that you are gentleman Of honor and consequently free from bigotry and comtemptible prejudices: but your fiery little shot at the priests of Arlzona so surprised me that l felt constrained to write the above. Respectfully yours,

with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease. and in order to cure 1t you must take internal remedies. Halls catarrh cure Is taken internally. and acts directly on the blood mucous surfaces. Halls catarrh cure is not qnack medicine. It was prescribed by one of the best physi- clans in the country for years, and is a regu- lar prescription. It is composed of the best tonics known, combined with the best blood purifiers, acting directly on the mucous sur faces. The perfect combination of the two ingredients is what produces such wonderful results in curing catarrh. Send for testino- nials, free.

An Exception Wen Taken.

To show that though Tar away rom Eogsles. read THE OASIS, wish to call your attention to an editorial in your last edition which reads as fol- Jews:
 '1n Arizona there are no priests who dare to tell native born Ameri- can citizens whether to enlist or not"
 We'll, Jupiter Tonans! Have you the priests of Arizona sn we'll in hand. 60 we'll cowed, that without your per mission they dare not open their mouths-not even so much as to tell men to enlist? By this time it must be quite evident to the priests of Ari- zona, that all the Arizona lsw-abidiDg heroes did not die in their boots at Charleston aud Tombstone.
 Your editorial snarl at the priests of Arizona, seems to have been prompted by an article which you have been pleased to copy from a New Mexico newspaper, which states that a priest of Santa Cruz, New Mexico, dissuaded native born Ameri- cans from enlisting in the present war.
 Whilst the article in the New Mexi- co newspaper bears the ear marks of an A. P. A. polecat, and is redolent with the stench of an A. P. A. ken nel, still, let us for the moment, as- sume that it is true, how will that justify the editor of THE OASIS in shaking his head and talking through his teeth at the priests of Arizona who are not offenders, and who cer- tainly do not bear the editor of THE OASIS or their country any III will. The hardships borne, in the most laudable of causes, by the priests of Arizona, standing aside from all political preferment and emolument of every kind, should merit for them, at least, courteous public allusions. Would it not have been more to the point to have shook your threatening finger at the offending priest or priests of Santa Cruz? If, indeed, there be offenders there. At the present moment we have two very distinguished professors of notable institutions, who have the courage to publicly proclaim, in this land of free speech and free press, that this is an unjust war and that our soldiers are fighting in an unjust cause. Charles E. Norton of Harvard University, says: "The war with Spain is in glorious and that for the accomplish ment of the ends which as nation, we propose to seek by it's means, it Is needless and consequently criminal. '" Now then, 1 have not as yet learned that any editor has shaken his hoary mane at the professors of other uni versailles. Such comments as have been made, have been directed, as they should be, to the offending gen tlemen themselves. To re1er con temptuously to the professors of other universities would be ill-mannered as is your reference to the priests of Arizona, because some priest or priests of New Mexico have displeased you.
 A portion of your New Mexico ar ticle reads: 'If the Mexicans do not furnish volunteers, it will be long time, as it really should be, before the territory is admitted to statehood. We do not want a state where large portion of the population is able to vote, but unwilling to fight" If "a large proportion of the population is able to yote," why are they denied this right? If able to vote" and de- nied the right, why ask them to fightS
