Shreveport, La, July N.-(Special )-But for the crippling of Streit by a batted ball tn the sixth inning today, 1t is not at all certain that victory would have rested on the banner of the Pirates. Montgom- cry had a good lead and was playing ex- cellent ball. Streit's hand was badly in- Jured. however, necessitating his retire ment, and the accident seemed to take the starch out of the visitors. At the time of the mishap, Shreveport had man on first and third. Stockdale, who had little chance to warm-up, was substituted, and the Pirates treated the spectators to glorious exhibition of daylight fire works Page, of the locals, performed the rather unusual feat of slamming out a two-bagger and a home run in the same inning. There were two men on bases when Page laced the ball over the fence.
 An additional two-bagger and a triple did the business, the Pirates piling up eight runs and fairly running away with the game.
 Montgomery out-hit Shreveport, get. ting eleven safe hits off Swann, but were unable to overcome the lead taken by thS Pirates in the sixth. Stickney lined out the sphere for two bags in the fifth, and scored on Beck's tumble of Clarks hit
 Hits by Busch and Streit scored Clark In the sixth, Burnett singled and stole second. Stickney hit to Beck and the latter threw to Weikart to catch him. The ball was fumbled and Burnett went to third. scoring on wild pitch Mont gomery's last run was made in the eighth. Burnett's hit and singles by Stickney and Clark brought him around

CARPENTER QUITS.
The Leagues Best Umpire Tenders
 Resignation.

Memphis, Tenn. July N.-(Special.)- )-The surprise of the day in league circles was the receipt of a four-word telegram by President Kavanaugh from Umpire Car penter, rendering his resignation, effec- tive at once. It is supposed that he will find berth in the New York State League.
 T was never more surprised in my life than when I received the wire from Car penter,' said President Kavanaugh. q have heard that he assigns criticism from me as the reason for quitting. I have never criticised him in public, private or to his face, for I have no occasion to do so. I have repeatedly stated that l considered him the best umpire I had ever seen.
 T think his action was entirely uncalled for. l am trying my best to get another umpire and hope to have one at Memphis by Thursday"
 Telegrams were sent to Con Strouthers, Bob Caruthers and Bug Holiday asking if they would come South and umpire.

 St. Louis. July 27.-The Republic tomor- row will say
 Almost without exception the railway systems in the South and Southwest have placed large orders for locomotives, most of them to be delivered by the time the crops are to be moved It is said that these orders are the result of the expert ence of many of the lines in the South and Southwest last year at the time of the moving of the crops. when an almost unequaled blockade resulted not so much from the lack of cars as from the needs of power to move the cars.
 Since then many of the roads have been receiving locomotives as fast as they could get them. but even with the addi- tional equipment, it is believed the enor- nous crop of wheat, corn and cotton will require much more motive power than Is available to take 1t to market.

Republicans to Nominate Can
didates For City Offices.
Convention Will Not Be Held Until
After the Democratic Primary
September 10.
MAY BE A SLIM PRIMARY

The Republican city committee will
meet in the near future and call con-
vention to nominate candidates for
city offices. The convention will not
be held until after the Democratic pri-
mary September 10.
a complete ticket will be nominated
and every effort will be made to have
the most representative men on IT,
There will be candidates for every
Office from school trustee up to mayor
and tho Republicans will as usual no
doubt advocate in their platform prin-
cipally municipal progress.
A proposition was made by TIE Re
publicans to the Democrats some time
ago, in order to eliminate every pos.
sibility of infusing politics into the
board Of education, that the Democrats
nominate but six trustees and Re-
publicans nominate six also. This
proposition which would have insured
an equal vote in the board, was re-
iected and the Democrats insisted on
naming a whole ticket.
1t 10 understood that many of the
Democrats belonging to or in sym
pathy with the Good Government
league may refuse to 90 into the DEM
ocratic primary now on account of the
probability Of being unable to vote
for q ticket that they can consistently
support.

Messrs. W. Il. Covington, r. j. Settle,
X. G. Terrell and j. Andy Bauer, and
three for the council, Messrs. A. ].
Decker, j. ID. Bacon and John Me
haus, have withdrawn their names.
some claiming that their names had
been used without authority, and
others that they had reconsidered.
Most Of these were supposed TO be on
the ticket to be supported by the Good
Government leaguers, leaving the
league without any chance TO control
the board of aldermen unless they can
pledge remaining candidates supposed
to be on the other side, as according
to reports they had pledged only eight
out Of sixteen Candidates, leaving
them now with but four: pledged oan.
didates, net majority, for the
board of aldermen.
The Republicans daily receive every
assurance Of being able to easily win
in Paducan this fall, and thsy expect
to exert every effort to do SO.

WE NEED BUSINESS MEN.

The strenuousness of the Demo
cratic state administration, which was
conceived in iniquity, born Of theft
and has been nurtured by perennial
graft, is shown up in it's true colors
BY the Louisville Herald. By facts
and figures the paper exposes the wan
ton extravaganza Of the syoophants
and suggests the need of honest, ener-
getio business men at the head Of our
government to supplant the tricksters
and politicians.
Says the Herald:
The prison board, which has been
juggling political favors with the par
don mill, was created for no other pur-
nose than to give Offices to three pap
hunters, whose own districts have not
considered their services valuable
enough to reward, and in five years
they have cost the state S42, 900 fol-
services which the sinking fund com
missioners had for many years per
formed without cost.

MODERN HYPOCRISY,

Even the plebean Pops are taking to
the trust idea. Fifteen hundred
southwestern farmers who doubtless
vote regularly for WI. bryan or some
other Populist, have organized cap
ital OF 5000, 900 by putting up sl3S. 80
each to force wheat to a dollar. These
benevolently inclined farmers no doubt
rail against trusts" continually, and
have a conniption fit every time any
one mentions the Republican party to
them because they have read in some
of their bepighted partisan sheets that
the Republican party favored trusts.
Yet they themselves are now organic.
ing a trust to force up the price of
wheat, a necessity from which we get
the staff of life" which will mean
that many extra nickles will be eked
from the poor and needy who can i'll
afford TO spare contributi ons to class
who have no trouble getting plenty to
eat because they raise it. The extra
price resulting from forcing up the
price of wheat will go to enrich few
farmers at the expense of millions of
bread winners. But this is only one
instance Of the many hypocrisies of
the age. The farmer does not care
any more for the welfare or the bank
account of the poor man in the city
than he is taught to believe the trust
magnate cares for his. The farmer
has nothing against trusts when they
work for his own pecuniary advance
ment. In fact he often. as the south
western farmers have now done, goes
to considerable trouble and expense to
form one of his own. and more than
that, one that will work against wor-
thy class Of people and those less able
to stand it, the poor people.
A great many people cling to the
peculiar idea that the farmer is
much abused man and is entitled to the
earnest legislation and solicitation of
the other people of this country. To
get right down to facts, the farmer is
usually a man much to be envied. BY
the help of nature he raises more than
enough to take care Of himself and
family, and if he were sppreciative
and satisfied would be more fortunate
than any other class of people.
The people who are deserving, and
whose lot is anything but pleasant as
compared to the farmer, are the work
ing people in the cities, countless
thousands of whom would have to
look to charity for food and shelter to-
morrow if they should happen to be
disabled or lose their positions today.
In the great policy of protection the
Republican party is their friend today
as 1t has always been in the past, and
will continue to be in thefuture.
