protect themselves against the care

the legislature and It's clerks. One
way is to elect competent men to that
body who know what is night ard

do it. Another way is for the legis.
Iature to select competent men and
women to do the clerical WORK in
steed OF selecting incompeten:e with
a pull. Another way is to defeat
every man for the legislature who
runs upon the Silver party ticket.
The whole LEG islative history of
that party is a shame and disgrace to
the State. It's first legislature passed
a lottery amendment to the Stat.
constit utioD, amended the fish and
game laws and wound up by stealing
bill to reduce the salaries Of the
deputies in the State offices. The
second passed prize fight law and
wasted the substance OF the people
on fish and game. The third, and

The authorities in Porto Rico do
not seem to have any sense Upon this
subject. When the United States
troops first entered Porto Rico, they
were received with huzzas and cheers.
Now, they are most intensely and bit

authorities have not confined their
efforts to the sanitation and peace
and happiness "f the island, but they
heve endeavored to make of each
little Porto Rican town a copy Of
some Puritanical and prohibition

stopped bull fights and all the Sunday
amusements of race that has been
used To them for hundreds and hum
dreds Of years. They have passed ar
hitrary and foolish pronunciamentos

AS the climax of a brilliant contest of
eleven innings at Pittsburg Saturday af-
terroon, Bill Clark put the ball into center
field for hit that was good for three bases
and sent Madison over the plate with the
winning run for the Pirates.
The score had been tied by the Senators
in the ninth inning and neither side could
do anything in the tenth. The visitors had
been BANKED in their half of the eleventh
and it began to get rather dark when the
locals started in for their half, McCreery,
the first man up, sent fly to Shorty Slagle
in center, and Bowerman followed with a
Skyscraper to O Brien in left.
Madison, who played short owing to the
illness of Ely. made a single. First Base
man Clark then came to the bat, and as
Bill has fallen off greatly in his hitting of
late it was with little hope that the specta-
tors saw him face Mercer. They were sur
prised, however, when he met the ball
squrely and sent it sailing to the centerfield
fence between Slagle and Freeman. Shorty
chased the ball fast he could, but
when he had ffeded it to the diamond Mad
ison had crossed the plate
The latter part of the game was full of
sharp plays, and only by work of the most
brilliant kind did the fielders keep the bat
tiers from getting on the bases.
