We were unable to get the score card

l.. Rolwage went to the bat fof the
elephants, and struck the ball the first
whack. and padded to FIRST in four Sec

lowed in quick succession. and The
elephants waddled around the diamond
without stopping to steal Il base or
anything else, making six runs in the
first inning.
The grasshoppers then went to bat.
and the sprightly insects hoped

thus the fun went on until the end of
the game, when the score stood A. to

The object of the game was to raise
funds to liquidate the Indebtedness of

NOTES.
Percy Barker made the most bril-
liant plays of the game, catching two
hies-we don't know what kind of
flies. whether horse flies or house flies.
il. Rollwage done some brilliant play
ing with balls on the bounce. While +.
TURKEY done some sprinting that would
do credit to sure enough elephants.
y balloon would have suited John
Webb better than ball to catch. and
he frequently used his back AS stop.
Tie umpire was kept busy preventing
the players from stealing the bats
much less bases. l.. IL. Belser sawed
the wind every time, and didn't know
when he was out. Sid Trap the
pitcher for the grasshopper, was the
daisy of tie evening. His appeals to
the audience to sustain him in his kicl,
against the rank decisions of the um-
pire, ought to have soitened the heart
OF brass man. bnt they fell unheeded
on deaf ears, but he had IA heap Of fun

from his wild balls in fact before he
got through with them they were red

One of these is the cause, and sometimes

Just as we'll as to-day; but you've got to

FAILURES AREFEWER
Less Business Wreckage Under Nc
Kinley Than in IS Years.
Calamity HowIers Struck Dumb by
General PrOsperity's Remarkable
Exhibit - Disastrous Effect OF
T. Democracy and Free Trade.

The real prosperity of country is
ALWAYS Judged bv the number of fail
ures among its business men. 1t is
ar astonishing tribute to the second
state of our finances and prosperous
commercial condition when Brad
streets mercantile agency reports for
the first six months of the calendar
wear. 1900, the smallest number of fail
ures noted for IS years past. This is
showing for Mckinley prosperity that
must strike the calamity howlers
dumb.
The records of the mercantile agency
show that for the first six months of
1892 the business failures OIL the coun-
try were 1881, with liabilities of $780,
535,521. In November of that year the
democratic party was voted into pow
er and in March, 1898, took charge of
the countrys finances. The first six
months of that year showed failures
of ,239 in number, with liabilities of
over S7O,00O,OOO. All through the
democratic free trade Wilson bill
administration the number of all
ures steadily increased, until the
first six months of 1896, when
they reached the high water mark,
viz, 1902. with liabilities of $105,-
535, 1886. In November of that year
Mckinley prosperity was voted IN
and the number of failures stead
ilv declined, until the first six months
of 1900 show only 4SG failures, with
liabilities of $6OO64 POS, the smallest
number reported for is years.
In the following tables we compare
the first six months of 1896, the last
year Of the last democratic admins
tration, with the first six months OF
1900, the last year of President Mckin-
1ev's present administration. This ev'
jdently is fair, as it shows the results
of nearly four years of both policies on
the business affairs of the country
These tables are worthy of the careful
consideration of the free traders anG
free silver calamity howlers, as well as
of those who believe in the prosperity
and protection of republican admins
tration. Thus:

A Question for Bryan.

VIII Mr.. Bryan order the with
drawaI of the AmericaIs troops from
the Philippine islands Immediately on
becoming president if he is elected?
That is fair question, which calls
for frank and manly answer. He
says he is against imposing govern
ment on people. Does he mean it or
is he only using catch phrase to get
votes? If he means it, then it must
be that he will instantly Withdraw
our troops and give the Filipinos n
free chance to set up such govern
ment as they desire and murder such
foreigners as they please; for if our
exercise of authority there is an out
rage and our occupation so wicked as
to have justified AguinaIdo's attack
on our troops while they were main
tanning order in Manila before the
conclusion of the war with Spain,
then the quicker we leave the better.
In deciding intelligently between the
parties it is essential to know what
the first steps of either wouln be.
