THRICE IS HE ARr1ED.

1t is true, as the Rev. Lyman Alb,
bot said not long ago in the course of
sermon at St. Paul, that if we were to
lead in the Old Testament that the
ships of nation favored by the Lord
had gone out against the navy of a
hostile people and completely demol-
ished it without harm to themselves,
most people would receive it with a
smile of pity to those who knew no
better than to accept such fables for
the truth. Yet this is what has hap
pened, not once but twice; and we
have to look beyond shot ard shell,
beyond ships and gunnery, to seek
some explanation of the apparent
miracle. We must have resource to
the unseen but all-prevailing moral
order in the universe.
Dewey's vessels fought for half q

1t was weeks before the American
people, ready as they are to believe
nice things about themselves, could
think of this as a real happening.
And now Genes something which.
when we analyze it, is actually more
astounding. In Santiago harbor there
lay four ships which were acknowl-
edged to be the most formidable of
their class among the navies of the
world. Whatever else Spain might
lack these cruisers, in their great
speed, their strong armor and their
navy guns, were the equal of any
thing in their class, while it was an
open question whether a battleship
could destroy Que of them even if it
could be overtaken. Such were the
vessels that sailed out of Santiago a
little time ago.
AS it happened, there was nothing
to oppose to these four ships for the
moment, owing to surprise, but the
single cruiser, Brooklyn. She engaged
them all single-handed. She inter
posed herself between them and the
open sea, and held them there until
others could come to her assistance.
Then the battle ragged back and forth
the desperate putting forth all his
strength, until all four vessels were
wreckage. 1t would have been vic
tory purchased cheaply at the cost of
ship or two; and at least the Brook
Ign could not be supposed to escape
a fearful raking. What do we have
again, as the result of long combat
and the utter ruin of the opposing
fleet? Not ship injured. and just
one man killed on the American side.
We say that this repetition of what
happened at Manila is more than a
coincidence, other than an accident.
1t means that the poet spoke the
truth when he said, 'thrice is he
armed who hath his quarrel just; and
he but naked, though locked up in
steel, whose conscience with injustice
is corrupted" 1t is a part of the
moral order that governs us. Right
triumphs, after ALL Call it miracle
if you will, say that it is ''the hand of
the Lord" or believe merely that evil
doing and thinking destroy the keen
ness of the eye, the strength of the
hand and the sagacity of counsel. the
fact is patent. There is more than
the superior might of numbers and
on our side to bring us out
thus scathless. The evil of Spain's
cause IS its weakness; and behind the
heaviest guns stand also the irresist-
ible might of justice, who skaters
and confounds her enemies with a
BREATH Red Wing Republican. la

ris was blanked, Berg, McQuillan and
Stinson going out in order.
Berg now began to get warm under
the collar and only one of Colyer's
colts scored in the third. In the
fourth the locals opened the fireworks.
After two were out. Hill hit safe, stole
second; Ploof got base on balls and
Hill scored on error by G. Green.
Then "Old George" made hit which
landed him at second, SO it must have
been a long one, and Ploof and Nc
Quillan scored.
Wheaton could only get two more
scores one in the sixth and one in the
eighth. But 1--WE" decided to win the
game SO in the sixth after Berg had
famed. McQuillan singled and later
scored on Fitch's double.
In the seventh Frary hit hot
single to left, and after Hill and Ploof
were out, scored on McQuillan's Sec
ond hit.
But the Seventh! Well it Was the
best ever! Fitch took Greens meas
ure for the whole circuit, then the
hearts of the rooters grew cold as
OMalley hit the breeze three times,
and Dial could only go out at first.
But cur friend Mr.. Frary was not to
be out done and be hit the ball so
hard that it hasn't come back. Then
Hill, Ploof and Berg singled and Hill
scored-three earned runs. In the
last of the ninth with the score 9 and
10 for Wheaton the champions of the
former days made garrison finish
with hits by Stinson, Fitch and Jim
mic" They could have scored more
but had the game won and so went
home.

Morris IL Wheaton ii.

Well we're not so worse, after all.
We won, ven against the invincaible
Dandy, with bombastic Love in the
game. The fans who attended the
concluding game OF the series OBJ
tanned many times their quarters
worth in all that contributes to mod
ern game of ball,hard hitting, brilliant
and ragged fielding, vigorous kicking
and amusing coaching. Some of these
features could be dispensed with and
no loss accrue to anyone concerned
but they were there and the locals
came out winners. The aggregation
who wore morris" across their shirt
front have proven that they can W n
and lose and win again without the
slightest apparent effort. To have a
game won i'll the first inning, main
tain lead until the seventh, and then
lose their advantage until the last of
the ninth, this is the history of the
most exciting event Of the sea on.
McQuillan seems to be in hard luck
with Morris cam. He pitched good
hard ball all the time until he be
came exhausted in the seventh and
yet the team behind him couldn't
even play marbles at critical times.
No one who knows of his work can
doubt his ability to pit ch too fast ball
for crowd of hitters like those who
visited here recently but no man Can
win against such odds as he went
against in both of his games. AS it
was he helped materially to win his
game by making two hits and three
runs when they were needed.
Here's the way the game appeared
to the scorer:
E. Green opened by letting four
bad ones go by, Bandelin had a good
eye and did likewise; Dempsey hit to
Fitch who retired Green at third and
threw Dempsey out at first. Love
hit hot one over third and Bandelin
took third and scored on Spurs muff.
Thielman struck out.
Fitch onened the ball for the locals
with clean single over second;
O'Malley couldn't connect and sat
down; Dalrymple hit long fv to
Dempsey who juggled and Fitch
scored, Dial going to second on the
pl y. Frary singled, Hill reached
first on Loves error and Dalrymple
reached home. Ploof singled and
Frary scored. Spur singled and Hill
made the fourth circuit of the
diamond, McQuillan sized the south

European waters. They were to be
"coast defense" vessels where high
speed and great coal capacity are not
necessary. That they were able to
operate abroad was due to the wise
action which offered bounty to the
builder for any increase in the speed
called for by the contract. Thus it
has happened that all of the recent
vessels have excelled their contract
speed, and when manned by Ameri-
can sailors, they have achieved the
wonderful successes of the present
war.
But now 20-knot navy is needed
if the United States navy is not to
take secondary place among the
navies of the world. Our present navy
is very heavy, but the naval board has
needed the lesson of the recent ma
val operations and ordered changes
in the new vessels which will give a
much greater speed and coal capacity.
The present 16knot navy cannot com
pete with the 1S-knot, 19-knot and
20-knot navies of other powers. The
new ships need not be large in num-
bers, but they must be speedy and
powerful.

COMMENTING on the endorsement
given Judge Brown by the Appleton
Press, the New Paynesville Press
says:
The Appleton Press is only one of
the many papers of the opposition
that have endorsed the republican
state ticket from top to bottom in the
above manner. They concede the
election of Judge Brown already and
there is not a shadow of reason why
the balance Of the ticket don't stand
equally as good a chance.

Notes of the Series.

Frary batted 566 in three games
He did something towards winning
the series. Three home runs isn't
very bad.
Bandelin proved that he was a
good all round man. Fifteen strike
outs is rather a good showing in
these days. But twelve hits is rather
too many to let an opposing team
secure.
Howley umpired three good games.
The fact that he was roasted by both
sides is good indication that he was
nearly fair. Ho might be a trife bet
ter on strikes but he'll do.

Judge Brown is in our opinion an
excellent choice. 1t is indeed rare
that man attains the popularity &C.
credited to him. If those who know
him best as a judge and as man can
find no fault in him, we should not
attempt to do so now. Moreover, we
are in perfect accord with his nomi-
nation and hope to see him elected to
the supreme bench by a big VOTE

THE COST OF WAR.

Now that the Spanish war is practi-
cally ended, and we come to count up
the cost of the war, few of us in this
immediate neighborhood will be in
clined to think of much beside the
S1,OOOOOO per day expense and the
''infernaP revenue tax.
But there is an expence account
more dear than dollars, and that is
the human lives lost in the struggle.
No Minnesota troops have seen any
fighting yet, and the only way that
we can realize somewhat of the horrors
of war is to think of the members of
the Tenth Regular Cavalry, which
passed through the city this spring.
These troops fought bravely at the
battle of Santiago and suffered heavy
loss, 80 men.
With these there were Is regiments
of infantry or cavalary engaged in
the battle, and three batteries of light
artillery. The 18th U. S. Infantry
lost the most-137 men in killed,
wounded and missing. Next came
the 18th U. S, Infantry, with loss
of 126. Next the list New York
Volunteers, 116. The smallest loss
was the 20 tn U. S. Infantry, only Is.
The heaviest loss in proportion to
numbers was in Roosevelt's Rough
Riders, cavalry regiment, who went
into the battle with less than 50Ol
men and lost SO. The infantry regi-
ments had nearly 1000 men each.
These losses mean much to some
localities and while the Stevens
county boys would have fought as
bravely as any at the front, this COM
munity is particularly fortunate in
having suffered DO loss which would |
mar the appreciation of the success
ses Of the war.

WANTED=-A TWENTY KNOT NAVY.

As nation, we glory in the achieve
ments of our navy at Manila and
Santiago. When at the beginning
Ct the present war, the navy of Spain
and ,he navy of the United States
were compared, there was nothing in
the comparison to assure our navy of
such overwhelming victories. But
the successes have been gained, and
when we come TO consider the causes
of the victory, it must be said to lie
more in the personnel of the navy
than in the ships.
The present navy of the United
States is very well adopted to that
object for which it was originally in
tended, namely, the defence of our
own coast line. The weight of both
armor and armament is immense, but
the speed is from two to four knots
slower than that of the same class of
ships owned by the other great powers.
This is handicap in all offensive
operations. A high speed vessel has
the option Of when to fight and when
not TO fight; but low speed vessel
must be be content to do battle only
when the vessel of higher speed is
within range.
In fact, this was the original int n
ton in the building of the present
navy. Who would have thought a
decade ago that within these short
ten years, our navy would be opera
ting in the Philippines and West In
dies, andzpreparing for a cruise in

Fifty-nine errors in three games!
Such is the record for the two Hteams.
Do you know that there are a few
of the enthusiasts that can play the
game in theory better than the best
ball player in the business. If the
players would only follow the very
ready advice of these embryo Cy
Youngs, we'll, they wouldn't.
The locals batted at 270 for three
games. That is record to be proud
of W en- we consider that half the
team were entirely out of practice.

Love. Wheaton l. Morris 4.
In the second Mr.. New, the erst-
while Morrisite hit viciously at three
benders and took his position on the
bench; Meisner didn't like good
ball over the center of It eplate so he
took three strikes very gracefully;
Satterlie hit nice little fly to Hill
and the side was retired. Morris
went out in order, O'Malley and
Frary striking out and Dalrymple
out on foul fly to 9. Green.
E. Green hit to O'Malley in the
third and was out at first, Bandelin
reached first on Jlmmie's error but
the man with the pugilistic cognomen,
Dempsey, struck out and funny(?)
Love bit to Dalrymple. For the
10 ais Hill reached first on an error
by G. Green, stole second, arrived at
third on Meisner's error and slid
home on his ear when E. Green let
the ball get about six feet away.
The excitement subsidized until the
seventh ween the score was rs in
favor of the locals; In this inning the
other fellows secured six large scores
owing to four errors and four hits,
while we could only find one man
who was able to trot fast enough to
win: score Morris s; Wheaton IL.
Surely the game was lost here-but
no-hear the rest. The locals put "Ted-
dy" Hill in the box. Love walked
over toward first and began to recite
serial story about the new pitcher,
He won't stay in the box until get
chance at him" he explained-and
he didn't. The first man to bat was
Thielman, the pretty left fielder,
Zone strike" yelled umpire Howley
and the crowd began to warm up.
Two" and the people began standing
on the seats; ''three" and the first man
took seat. Then up came New. But
he didn't do it. Meisner helped his
side out the best he could, while the
crowd filed the atmosphere with
hats, coats, parasols and shouts for
Fred Hill.
Then what did Morris do. Nc
Quillan went to first while Love was
putting muff on the ball. Sti"son
struck out, Fitch made two-bagger
O'Malley struck the air, "Dal" landed
nice one, Frary played trump and
Hill run it out to first. Meanwhile Nc
Quillan and Fitch scored and the old
national Lacquer came in on sacri-
fee of Ploof's. But Hugh" couldn't
couldn't find one of Bandy's benders.
PIoof, Hill and Frary died at stations
score IL and IL.
Then the ninth, Satterlie took a
walk just to let him have one chance
at first, stole second and died on third
E. Green, BandyIin and Dempsey
haven't got through explaining the
rest. McQuillan went to first on the
error of Meisner, stole News cushion,
and trotted to third on the same
error that let George ha> first. The
whole game now rested while Fitch
and O'Malley hunted for the ball.
Dalrymple found it just in time to
make first and let McQuillan score.
Thus it ended II to IL. The last
