went in the air in the second inning, allow

as result six nice tal.ies were pushed over
the plate-more than enough to win. The
other eight innings were goose eggs for the
strong athletes. their efforts being nipped

practice in the infield. as Its five errors
yesterday were all made by men on the
bases and at short. The attendance was
poor, hardly a hundred spectators being
present. yet the sport furnished is first
class and worthy of patronage. The local
base ball spirit Is certainly slumbering this

IMPERIALISM AND EXPANSION
And there are others.

The position Of the Populists in this
campaign was briefly stated the other
day by Gov. Lee Of South Dakota in q
letter which has been made public. "We
believe" he said, "that anti.expansion
is the issue nearest and most important.
The money question and the trust ques-
ton can be settled at any time, but i'm.
perialism is an immediate issue and
must be met at once"
Mr.. Lee makes the too common mic.
take OF confusing expansion with impe.
rialism. The two are entirely distinct
The Democracy is the author Of that ex.
pansion which has given to the country
the greater part Of its territory west Of
the Ohio river. But that expansion was
accomplished according to the constitu-
ton Of the United States. 1t differed from
the imperialistic policy OF Hanna and
McKinlev in that it never contemplated
the creation OF colonies or the establish
ment of citizens hitherto alien on the
basis Of subjects. TheAe British ideas be.
long to the imperialists Of the Republican
party.

in our prosperity with which the people
Of Porto Rico so gladly transferred their
allegiance to the United States, and we
should treat the interests Of this people
as our own, and l wish most strongly to
urge that the customs duties between
Porto Rico and the United States be
removed.
Joseph Simon, Oregon-I favor free
trade and unrestricted commercial rela-
tions between this country and Porto
Rico. have felt from the time this ques-
ton assumed impor. ance before the people
of the country that there is no reason in
taxing goods from Porto Rico, now part
OF the United States, and exacting a
customs duty on them. The privileges
Of the flag and Of the constitution have
been extended to Porto Rico and we can
not evade the question. ! do not feel
that can change my opinion on this
question. l do not believe that I will
ever consider the proposition Of voting for
any other bill than that which will pro-
vide absolute free trade between Porto
Rico and the United States.

Mr.. McKinley's secretary Of the
treasury has reported with some show Of
pride a treasury surplus amounting in
round numbers to $1,000, O00-the first
surplus, he points out, in seven years.
Such publication is fair instance Of
Republican dishonesty and juggling. Mr..
Gage knows, as every intelligent Ameri-
can knows, that the surplus OF which he
makes his boast could have no existence
in fact were it not that the special taxes
imp oeed to pay the cost OF the war have
been continued, although the war is over.
