of the farm products required to feed

the end of the employment and re-em-
ployment that would follow the reten-

dollars now paid out to foreigners by
the American people each year. If ship
building were a steady and permanent
business, through economies in pro-

build ships as cheaply in the United
States as elsewhere, and without reduc-
Ing the wages of labor. That mas been
true of other great protected Indus

Ing. In the end the United States
would build ships for all the world, and
there is no limit to the extent of the
demand upon American materials and
labor that would follow government
announcement of our shipping in the
foreign trade"
The Republican party believes in en-
couraging American ship builders to
build ships in which to haul American
commerce so that the money now paid
to foreigners in ocean freights may be
Kept among the American people. The
Democratic party opposes the Republi-
can position but offers no alternative
means of securing the same end.

POLITICAL HOME THRUsTs.

The Democratic plea that the l6 to plank was
inserted in the Kansas City platform to fool the
Populists is not calculated to inspire confidence
on the part Of the other voters party that
practices deception upon one class Of voters will
not hesitate to enlarge its field in that particular
line
The American COW has felt the effect OF Re.
publican good times. Her value has gone I'D
about $40 since 1895, from s2l oj a head to about
$3.50 head. She has also had to supply more
milk, because Of the demand attendant on the
filing Of the worhngman's dinner pail.
Chairman Jones declares that the Cotton Com.
press Trust, Of which he is stockholder and
beneficiary, is authorized By the constitution We
believe the same claim was set up by the pro.
moters Of the Tammany Ice Trust.

will simply so right ahead making new ones.

Winthrop is Winner.

In the nelghborhood of 500 enthusi-
astic fans, a goodly number of them la
dies, filled the grand stand at the driv-
ing park Sunday afternoon to witness
the game of base ball between the new
ly organized Hauenstein's of this city
and the Winthrop Colts. The special
train which had been secured by the
management for the accommodation of
the Winthrop contingent reached this
city about 1:45 and consisted of two
coaches we'll filed. Owing to few un-
avoidable delays incident to what was
practically the first game OF the season
the game was not called until about
8 80, with Haas and Maves in the points
for the home team Il
When Umpire Blasting, of Henderson,
called the game and the "Colts' filed up
to home plate their muscular appearance
and confident air set the tide rather in
their favor and it would have perhaps
been somewhat difficult to place much
money on the hop -pickers at venture.
Later developments showed, however,
that the New Ulm ball tossers could 90
some themselves. " r..
The first man to bat was F. Kemp,
Winthrop's muscular and somewhat
hilarious third baseman, and the second
ball over the pan resulted in bunt di-
rectly into the nit of pitcher Haas, Nav
er was thrown out at first and "a. Kemnf
was railroaded to the bench with three
easy ones and the side went to grass
without score. For the brewers T.
Baasen was hit by the ball and walked
to first, giving way to Pettiiohn who
made short hit getting to first through
the inability Of short TO properly field
the ball, and both he ard Mathsr who fol-
lowed with a grounder to short were
thrown ont in double from short to
second and third. Net result, one goose
egg all round.
The second inning was practically re-

Saturday morning, May 26, Capt.
Steinhauser with detail of twenty

insurgent stronghold about fourteen

rived about l 80 in the afternoon. En-
tering the town they met with but little
resistance and took up their quarters
IN stone church. This town being the

the captain decided to remain for cou-
pie OF days, not having seen anything
of importance. Monday morning he
started for home. About mile from
Labo the road runs between high banks
which are completely covered with
hemp, and when the detachment ar
rived at this place they were ambushed
by large force of the enemy who had
IN the neihgborhood of sixty rifles, the
rest being armed with bolos. With the
first shot the captain fell, one ball pass
ing underneath the left arm aud another
going through both knees. This left
Clarence in charge and the fire seemed
to- be Immediately concentrated upon
him. Inside of five minutes he was
wounded in three places, once in right
heel, right leg and through the chest.
In spite of his@deplorable condition he
did not give up but by the force of his
example encouraged the men to still
greater activity in their effnrts to drive
off the enemy. Finally he received an
other wound through the body and fell
dying almost Immediately.
I need say nothing of my feeling to-
wards Clarence for you know that l
loved him as brother, but must say
that in this, the hour of your deep af-
fiction, you have the heartfelt sympa-
thy of every man IN this company, for
they have learned to look upon him not
only as a superior officer but as true
friend and one who could be depended
upon at all times.

Johnny Whitaker, the clever fenth-

fought fastan d furious battle At
Buffalo Tuesday night with Kid Rus
the champion of that city. Whitaker
had the better OF the go but the ref
cree was partisan OF the Buffalo boy
ana he declared the match draw.
4 Buffalo exchange has the follwing
to say IN reference TO the contest;
Johnny Whitaker, the Chicago col
ored fighter, and Kid Bush, Buffalo's
fastest fentherweight, boxed the best
battle OF the season last nlght at ort-
ner's Black Rock club.
The clubhouse was crowded and all
present were enthusiastic over the
milling from start TO finish.
Whitaker proved TO be a wonder
fully clever little fighter, and a hard
hitter with both hands. He had Bush
on the hoor twice, and was the ag-
gressor in every round.
Bush however, was skillfui and fast
~ usual and although the colored lad
