THE POINT IN POLITICS.

The most serious problem of
politics at this time is not whether
the republican or democratic
party shall have dominion, but
whether the right kind of people
shall have it: but there is n large
class of voters who can not or will
not understand this
The decent, worthy, well mean
ing voters are continually lending
themselves to the use of political
schemers, and the character of
local politics, especially in the
cities, is growing worse all the
time 1t is an indisputable fact
that the three largest cities of the
country, New York, Chicago and
Philadelphia, are practically gov
Fundamentally, morally and tinan-
cially considerably their most
insignificant. and, in may instances,
vicious elements
AS towns grow in size and pop
ulation it may be expected that the
character of the political methods
that prevail will degenerate, and
their people should be more and
more watchful
In the process of securing the
upper hand the vicious elements
employ the most artful methods
to hoodwink the people. They
continually cry Stop, thiefr' to
divert the attention of the mass
from what they are themselves
doing
This old and well known pro.
cess is in use today in Colorado
There is an element that is watch
ing for every chance to find fault
with everything that is being done
in order to command a following
And it does command it, lts
political methods are those of sen,
satiou, abuse, misrepresentation
and detraction, 1t is growing
worse RS the cities of the state in
crease, and is therefore a more anc
more serious problem 1t is nc
use to present the case fully; the
man or woman who really desires
good government can find the
truth if he or she will look for it
But unless the voters can be in.
duced to be more independent thar
they have been, and to examine
more closely the influences by
which their support is obtained

AGAIN THE EAGLES.
Took Ten Innings to Decide but
Springs Lost Out.

There was tropical time at the
ball grounds yesterday afternoon
when the Eagles went against
Colorado Springs, and the twelve
hundred persons who crowded the
stands and overhowed into the
field got their moneys worth, with
four dollars and six bits extra
Things did not look particularly
bright for the first three innings
when the Springs piled up five
runs and the Eagles acted as if
they were trying to give the game
away. A large chunk of gloom
hung over the field and some of
the more timid began to say Il
told you so' and See how they
act when they go against a team. !"
The Florence daily tribune., 1901-10-14

The old guard stuck to their guns
and rooted as if the home talent
were a mile ahead.
Bye and bye they were rewarded
when McGonigle crossed the plate
in the fifth inning But one run
did not look much like five, and in
the sixth the Springs added an
other and the Eagles were goose
egged. Patterson came in with
the second run in the seventh, and
the next inning but one Eagle
reached the initial bag He took
big lead and when the catcher
threw to first to catch him nap
ping he tarried not but set all sail
for second. The first baseman was
under the impression that his
birdlets was trying to get back
and when he got back he gave a
vicious swipe to put him out; and
10, he was not-there. The base
man then carefully threw the ball
away and the runner scored.
That awoke the crowd and from
that time on they kept up con
tinuance performance 1t still
looked bad with a score of 6 to 3
at the beginning of the ninth.
The rooters, with the inconsist-
ency of the average base ball fan,
insisted that if they made three
in eight innings they could make
three more in the ninth, and they
did.
Talk about your joy! The price
on gargling oil and throat ease
went up 80 per cent right there.
When the Eaglets took the field
for the tenth inning they swore n
big swear that not another Springs
man should cross the plate.
The first man up slapped one in
the face and it started on trip to
the alfalfa field Westlake in cen
ter field loped along under it, while
the waiting crowd played in
silence. Its going over in some
body walled, but it didn't. 1t
dropped in his old sole leather
glove with a thud that proclaimed
that it was there to stay That
ended the Springs chance to score
and in their half the Eagles de-
livered the goods With man on
second and third and two men out
Cannon stung one so hard that
the second baseman had no time
to shut the gate, and the heart,
disease game was over.

District Appropriations.

Announcement has been made in the local
daily papers that the Commissioners of the
District Of Columbia have, within the last
few days, been engaged in eliminating from
their former estimates such items as they
believe can be spared so as to meet the
recommendations of Secretary Gage to re-
duce the appropriations for the Distaict to
$7,soo,ooo
In looking over some Of the items to be
stricken out we are at loss to know
whether the Commissioners when pruning
were in an ironical mood or In earnest For
instance, $4,000 which would build and
equip filtration plant is to be dropped.
Every person in the city of Washington who
has Of late been indulging in chocolate baths
and drinking muddy water-almost OF the
consistency Of gruel--will certainly appre-
ciate the spirit of the Commissioners in
thus meekly responding to the Secretary.
If they are sincere and don't intend further
to urge an appropriation to build filtration
plant the residents Of the city will certainly
have reason to be grateful to the three gen
temen who can strenuously stand up for
their interests.
Again we are told street extension i'm
provements must be stopped. The streets
must go no further than their present
bounds People who want to build beyond
present limits must be without water or
sewage privileges and founder through the
mud and snow in winter. No new water
mains laid, no extension Of sewers, no ex-
tension of pavements
In other words Washington must be for
hidden to grow. She must stand still Her
people must continue to drink muddy water
and bathe in it, Her sewage remain as it
is, her citizens left to the tender mercies of
the porch climber for want of adequate
police protection, and all to please Secre-
tary Of the Treasury who has no interest in
her save what he can make by residing
within her boundaries as a Cabinet Officer.
We cannot believe the Commissioners are
in earnest in trying to accommodate the
secretary. If they are-and we do not be-
lieve they are-they ought to be publicly
thanked for their devotion to the Capital Of
the Nation Such self-denial as they pro.
pose to impose upon her citizens will
hardly be relished by them.

Col w. J. Elliott, editor Of the Washing

cursed gang.of helions who have been man

ards of high degree in Ohio are, with

accounting ever made as Elliott is doing in

extract, was:

When it was worth mans social posi-
hon and decidedly Injurious to his business
to stand by the writer, justice and immortal
truth. Col Lewis Greene conspicuously
stood forward and openly proclaimed his
belief in and loyalty to his friend; he defed
the conspirators thirsting for our blood and
never wavered in his advocacy of our cause
until the doors Of the dungeon swung open
and admitted us to sunlight and freedoml
Colonel Greene has been a Democratic
editor in Ohio for the past forty years. No
public man is better OF more favorably
known. He has never sought nor accepted
an Office, but in his simple and terribly
earnest loyalty to Democratic principles, has
been in the thick Of every fight from Rise
Up William Allen" to "The Campbells Are
Coming" and his flag still de6antly floats
over the Sentinel in his native Logan
The friendship of such a man Is certih-
cate of character more valued than the com

these comments be the public acknowledge
