at the corner were crowded WITH eager
sazers Standing at tne top OF the steps
OF the Exchange building, saw the

wants it understood right now
that he has q better team than
last year and that they are going
to play ball from start to finish.
On paper it certainly looks that
way. Third is stronger than
last year owing to Billy's throw
ing ability. 1stis better owing to
Andrews running and batting.
Neher greatly strengthens the
outfield. While Lufkins makes
a good man at short. Team work
all that is lacking now and that
will come with practice. The
game Friday was as pretty a
game as one could ask for up to
the 9TH inning. Then Hought-

J Bad! . Bad! 10 to 4.

A satisfactory explanation of
Saturdays exhibition is hard to
find and we will leave to others
the task thereof. Certain it is
that a 10 years record of base
ball shows no victory following
a dance. Had the score been be-
low 10 there would have been no
disgrace in it, as the Fargo boys
put up a fast game at the bat and
especially in the field. Slette's
work was exceptionally good,
while Houghtling made a beautis
full throw from center field home,
mailing his man. Some of the
Cooperstown boys could not see
the ball either at the bat or in
the field.

THE VALUE OF HONESTY.

The part that character plays in mod
ern business life comes out clearly in
an article on "A Borrower AS Bank
er sees Him. contributed by Lindsay
Denison in the March number of The
Worlds Work. 1t is quite possible"
Mr.. Denison writes, quoting Mr.
Trask, for a man of known integrity
to borrow a million dollars. A man of
known bad character, on the other
hand, could not possibly borrow more
than half as much. Among the men
who are the powers in the banking
business it is no uncommon matter for
a man to overdraw his account in 4
bank for hundreds of thouands of dol
lars for a day or two without a word
of comment from the officers of the
bank. They know that he knows what
he is doing; they know that he would
not overdraw if he were not able to
make good the deficiency promptly.
they know that he is an honest man,
and will make the deficiency good. and
the transaction does not call for so
much as a verbal understanding. 1t
is based altogether upon honor" The
story of one John Smith, which Mr..
Denison tells, is enl;ghtening and en-
couraging.

the decisions of the courts since the be-
ginning of the government. The SEN
ator has stated the gist of the whole
contention of the republicans, which is
that congress has a perfect right to de-
termine questions of taxation and reve-
nue., and all other matters of legisla-
ton. in every part of the territory of
the United States, not having a state
organization and not being an integral
part of the union, as it may see fit. The
constitution expressly provides for this,
and this has been the procedure of the
government from the first. Any other
ruling at this time would be direct
contradiction of every decision of the
supreme court in the history of the
country, with the exception of the bred
Scot decision. which was reversed by
force of arms. The senator is right in
his statements of fact and his prophe-
cies. but wrong in his assignment of
motives.

THE ESSENTIAL THING IN LIFE
PHOTOGRAPHY

The thing most essential of all in
life photography is that the persons
photographed shall seem unconscious
of the presence of the camera. That
they should really be so is seldom pos
sible except in a crowd. The hurly-
burly of city street offers a fair
chance for concealment to the man
with a hand camera, though no matter
how cautious he is the prints all too
often show some pair of eyes turned
suspiciously on the instrument. But in
the country he cannot help being con-
spicuous. and he has to confess his
purposes and ask his subjects to pose.
This is perhaps lust as we'll, for it is
next to impossible. with a hasty snap
shot, to make the surroundings count
for all they might in relation to the
figures. One does best when he has
chosen with some deliberation the po-
sition for both his camera and those
who are posing.

PRETTY GOOD FINANCIERING.

From the Hartford Courant.
In a letter to the Tribune. Mr.. John
w. Foster points out that President
DiaZ, an able administrator in other
ways. has shown ability of the highest
order in his administration of Mexico's
finances. When he took hold, the year.
ly revenues were oftener below than
above s2O.OOO,OOO. Deficits had come
to be a matter of course. The interest
on the national debt had been defaulted
for years. Mexican bonds were not
quoted in single foreign money
market. The only banks were a few
private ones. Exchanges between Mex
lean cities stood at 5 to and even
10 per cent. Then years after Porfirio
DiaZ took hold. the yearly revenues
had increased to $4,000, 900. Now $780,
900 900 year is ample to defray all
the running expenses and leave a COM
Portable balance on the right side.
Great public improvements-the har-
Dor improvements at Vera Cruz, Tam
pico, etc. the development OF the coun-
try's railroad system, the drainage of
the valley of MeXico-have been under
taken and carried through. The veXa-
tious stateline and city-gate taxes have
been abolished. The burden of taxa
ton has been not only lightened but
equalized. The export duties have been
practically done away with, and the
tariff intelligently revised throughout.
An admirable banking skstem has been
established. The foreign loans have
been consolidated. and when Mr.. Fos-
ter wrote his letter Mexican per
cents, (gold), were quoted in London
at 99-six points above the Argentine
per cents. and seven points above
the Gillian. Much of the credit for
the successful refunding of the debt
and the high credit now enjoyed by
Mexico abroad belongs-Mr. Foster
tells us-to Mr.. Limantour. President
Diaz's accomplished and hard working
secretary of finance.

William Allen White says that the
inefficiency of the prohibition laws in
Kansas dates from the abrogation of
the right of injunction. The action
was taken by the legislature in 1895,
not in order to strengthen the prohibit
ton laws, but as sop to the oppon-
ents of government by injunction" as
described by Debs. By this act the
power of injunction was taken away
from the county attorney, and as there
was and is a pretty strong sentiment
against prohibition in Kansas, it has
since that time been impossible to get
