The game between the La Junta

was one OF the finest exhibitions

special train OF three coaches was
chartered and about two hundred
admirers OF the local aggregation
went down TO Las Animss to wit.

called at ago o'clock and there
were tully 600 people in attend-
ance.
The Las Animss rooters did not
seem to think that La Junta had
even a chance, and were apparent.
ly greatly surprised when our
boys scored one run in the FIRST
inning, and none of the Las Ami
mas aggregation succeeded IN
crossing the home plate. The
Las Animas team, however, made
one tally in the second inning, and
from that time until the seventh
inning neither side scored. In
the seventh another Las Animss
man crossed the home plate, La
lunta teing the score in the
eighth after being robbed OF one
score on rank decision by the
umpire, who claimed that GoIman
had interfeTed with a fielder be.
tween second and third. There
was a long wrangle over this de.
cision which threatened to break
up the game, but it was finally
decided in Las Animas favor and
play resumed.
Neither side scored in the ninth
inning, and in the first half OF the
tenth Las Auimas went out IN
one, two, three order. In the last
half OF the tenth Smith struck ou,
and Daniber reached first on an
error. The umpire then assisted
German in striking out, and start,

Vanderbilt. After two strikes
had been called Van swiped III,

and Daimler came home with the
winning run. The story OF the
game is best told in the following

The Gsnesis of the Flag c

The Tacoma Ledger has contributed q avlUab!o addition to the literature bearing tpon the bubonlc rllGuc in it's published interview with Dr. R. r. Freeman of tho steamship Ttcoma. which was reproduced ia ;hc Ghron- icle yesterday. The testimony of Dr Freeman bearing upon tho character istics of the pia sue is of the greatest importance, because he has spent many years in the Orient and studied the dis case carefully in. all the stages of its development, having resided among in f2cted communities in which from sin gle cases to thousands were to be seen daiiy. The purpose of thc Tacoma in teEVieW Was, Of course, to prove that tho P-Set sound ports are in no danger of plague epidemic; but tho reasons which Dr. Freeman advances IS an as surance of their exemption apply with equal force to all other ports and cities in Oregon and California
 Dr. Frecmar's Knowledge If the plague has not been obtained through q study Of the disease at long range. and from bacterioicsic.ll experiments and the theories which are based on them, as that Of American physicians generally has been. but through actual contact with it and close observation of the afflicted and the causes respon- sihle for it's development in the home Of the disease itself. Impoverished diet is. he says. tho responsible cause.
 No well fed man. he assured the Ledger reporter, can catch the disease. This is the reason why EuroDeaur.
 who are always better livers than the Oriental races, consuming more nutrf- uous foods, are able ito walk into and through infected quarters with perfect immunity" Tn all his experience the doctor has known of no case Of the dis cage contracted by contaeiou in this Way. These Europeans who have fallen victims to the plague in Oriental colin- tries have been invariably persons who reduced themselves through di.sfaation tG the condition Of the half-sta; vcd na- tive. The introduction of the disease into "cil-fed communities like these on the Pacific coast, if 1t should occur. would be accomr anied by TO dangc-. Ut would die out at oacc.' said D..
 freeman. without medical attention of any sort.
 The history of the plague in all coun- tries and at all times bears cut tn" coz roctncSS of Dr. FTccman's assumption that the well fed are immune from in lection. The ill-fed poor everywhere have been it's victims. The poor. haIi- starved ryots Of India have been the chief sufferers from the plague ravagas there, and in all European countries where the plague has periodically ap- | peared it gathered it's victims from tn ! rocr. ili-fed inhabitants of the sluIns.

 Il may be fairly said. we think, that there is little possibility of great war hereafter over purely commercial questions.

Every new triumph ior the principle of arbitra tion makes any further war between the civilized powers less prob able, and while the happy adjustment of the difficulties between Venezuela and the European governments places another brilliant victory to the credit of American diplomacy. the result also gives strong encouragement to the peace societies of the world. l. is not unreasonable. truly, to hope that with ill the next half-ccntury, at most, armed conflict between Christian na- tions will have become an impossi- bility.

The Political Slave Driver.

Broken in health, and wreck n every sense, Doe Anes, the fugitive ex-mayor of Minneapolis, has been arrested in New Hampshire He is to be taken back to the city which mas honored him so often. and l. lie hNcS will be tried under various i1d!ct- ments. The career of Doc" Ames was reviewed in these columns few weeks ago, and it only remains to be said that the municipal corruption in Minneapolis furnishes an object lesson to every town and city in the country where officials are chosen for political reasons.
 Reform in tl,e government of cites never can be accomplished so long as citizens submit to the rule Of political bosses. Ward heelers in either party seldom encounter difficulty in retain ing grip on the taxpayers if permit ted to divide the people into two political camps. It is idiotic to an extreme for citizens to vote fer candi- dates for mayor and councilmen simply because such candidates are supposed to belong to q given politi- cal party The average ward boss, or the average municipal grafter could not, if his life depended upon it, give an intelligent reason why he is q democrat or republican, as the case happens. But he is always full or req sons why the broE:-beaten cit;Ze: should be loyal to the party''-the party in city campaigns meaning nothing more than a coterie cf fellows who are after the offices or after local political power.
 The citizens oi Minneapolis would, doubtless stand the test Of compari- son with the citizens of Phoenix or any other American community. The masses were, and are, honest, and the business and professional men are noted for their integrity. But Doc" Ames was able to make Minneapolis a blotch on the map of Minnesota by playing the electorate for the suckers that they were. When running as a democratic candidate, ATnes had the democratic machine with him, and his appeal to the loyalty of democrats to the party was sufficient to call cut the full strength of the organization. And when running as q republican candidate he followed the same meth ods in dealing with the republican voters.
 The truth is,. that political hossc5 and heelerS have SO dinned it irto tho cars of voters that loyalty to the platform and loyalty to the party" must be the vatchword. that the masses are led as flock of sheep. Tho boss may he known IS i-ourgHt or corrupt, but armed with the party whip he is the modern slave driver. Ire boss may be unpopular to the ex- tent of having the personal hatred of many Of his followers. but the fear of being called "dislnyal'' detcrs the tinid partisan from asserting himself.
 And yet, invariably when boss is rcsolutely opposed it is quickly seen that his slave-drivcrs whip is a mere cobweb- There is no more coWarIly human than the professional poiiti- elan, and when the people do manifest signs Of nutiny he makes a spuit Tor tall timber or he changes front and falls in with the procession Such men gain control from time to time only because the ordinary citizen is too busy with his own affairs to give atten- ton to the public business.
