Fx-Prssidens Harrison IS a di5sp-

Mr.. Harrison vas sent to Paris to rep
resent ths United States on the Veno-
zueIsn boundary commission and It
vas thought IN administration circles
that it vas 3 good play to send 50 dis
tinRuished q republican. he could be
relied upon to put in 3 good word for
President Mckinley. Ever since Mr.
Hsrrison's arrival in Paris he has been
importuned By reporters to express his
views on McKinley's foreign policy,
but he refused until a few days ago,
when be talked expressly for publica-
ton. He said among other things:
sFhe United States have no desire for
var or conquest. Their attitude is
limited outside OF their own boundar-
les to the safeguarding Of liberty. Our
people are opposed to new ventures.
Ideas on colonization have been sttri-
buted to rs that are not ours America
wishes to grow by expansion Of her
commerce, by exporting her products
and not by force Of arms. Our true
position is to guarantee the liberties Of
people, but not to dictate their laws
OF course Mr.. Harrison viii be called
a copperhead, traitor and several other
things Of the same kind, but he has put
himself on record as being unaltersbly
opposed to MeKinley's colonial non
sense. And what is more, he began his
Paris interview by saying, 81 wish to
say to the French people" AS is well
known, Mr.. Harrison opposed to the
Standardization var. His policy was
to tell Spain 70 treat the Cubsns right
and if she did not set about doing it
Immediately to send an army to Cuba,
drive the Spaniards out, turn the
island over to the Cubans, call the
troops home and close the incident.
No doubt Mr.. HarrisOn's position viii
have great influence on his party in

Go0dIand's Haas naIl ,resna Meet ProFss
sIonal1 af rat Place.

LrGu1ElnC'8 E-11C Hail Team Meet EruEE1-
Bionals AZ That Place.
The GoOdland base bali team started
for Hoxie Monday to attend the base
ball tournament at that place which
began on the morning Of the 18th and
win continue to the 18th inst. The
old soldiers reunion occupies the same
dates. Hoxie viii now have an oppor-
tunity to show the old soldiers and
Knights Of the ball what an entertainer
she can be.
GOOdland's team viii be represented
10 strong and viii no doubt prove wor-
thy material for all opponents at the
Hoxie meeting. While our boys are
too free harted to bring back any prize
money, there is great probability, how
ever Of their bringing home a report Of
a good time and an abundance Of base
ball glory.
GoOdlsnd Accidentally Loses = Game.
Perhaps the most scientific, as well
as the most exciting, game that Hoxie
may ever see on her grounds, WIS
played by GoodIsnd and Selden We'd
nesday afternoon.
The majority Of the Selden team are
professional men, collected from over
the eastern part Of the state, and It is
doubtful whether the Selden specta-
tors know their own ball team. Dad
Turner Of considerable base ball fame,
pitched for them; Warner Of the Kan
sas City Blues played first; Sheppard
Of Minneapolis; the best Of the En-
pOria team, and others from Lebanon,
were the ones that the boys from the
rainmaker town gave 8 warm recep-
ton.
The game was called at las, and for
five successive innings the two clubs
marched in and out with nothing but
shut-outs to the credit Of either. Nine
Y innings came with q score Of 3 to 3.
/ The tenth round decided it. Selden
went to bat and made two outs with
/ out q score, but with a man on first.
Forney was doing phenomenal work in
/ the box, and just as the second man
struck out, the catcher, Irwin Of Colby,
\ thinking the side was out walked TO
the bence with the ball, while the run
ner on first had gained third before
Irwin understood the situation. The
next batter made a hit which let in a
score. The inning closed with a score
Of 3 to 3.
"Ifs" and shuts" count for nothing,
nevertheless had Goodland not made
the blunder In so vital time of the
game they might have swallowed up
the enemy. GOodland is a favorite at
the tournament, and these two clubs
being the strongest, there is high prob
ability Of another game between them
for firt money. The maroons are eager
/ for another chance.
