sEnATnRIAI. TARIEF MApNEss

A body called the Senate, sit.
ting at the seat Of government,
il ostensibly seeking in the in
terests Of the people to frame a
new tariff whose provisions win
most fairly represent economic
justice; ASA fact, it is largely o
junta Of greedy millionaires en-
gagged in q conspiracy to enrich
themselves at The expense Of the
people. This gang of rich traf-
ticers under the leadership of the
notorious Aldrich, and helped by
some dozen or more recreant
Democrats, willing for share
in the plunder to stultify them
selves and party, are impudently
violating the pledges of the Re-
publican party By increasing the
tariff burdens under which the
country groans and that too, in
The very teeth of the opposition
of both the President and the
people. Many of these senators
are financially interested in the
matters they are considering,
and their decisions are ALWAYS in
favor of their own interests and
against the public good.
What if judges were thus to
trade in the matters which they
officially determine !? Why, a
wave OF public indignation would
hurl them from the judicial seats
they dishonored But in the
Senate %! that's common
enough! Venal souls have before
this degraded the senatorial toga
but rarely and secretly; but till
now never was the spectacle seen
on such a scale of senators shame
lessIy prostituting their high |
legislative Office in an avowed |
purpose to fill their own pockets!
In another respect also this pres
ent situation in the Senate is
without parallel, viz The al
most universal condemnation
both by the leading party jour-
nails and by the popular voice,
of this reasonable course of these
congressional traficers !! Even
the most stalwart of protection
journalists are edilorially out
spoken in their severe rebukes
Let it be repeated that the
Unreasonable Senate e''-as that
body has come to be styled by
many-in all its bold follies of
past decades, never quite reached
its present pitch of insensate
folly. An open and hardened
disregard of law and decency,
marks their conspiracy against
the people in that senators, act
ing in the lofty capacity of legis-
lators-which should be as free
from personal interest as the
Office of iudge-do not blush
to admit that they are seeking
to force higher tariff exactions
out Of the consuming millions in
favor Of commodities or indus
tries in which they themselves
are largely interested!
But in an old Latin maxim is
comfort found-'sQuem deus gutt
perdere prtus dementat''-"whom
the gods wish to destroy they
first make mad. The aVenging
gods have spurred the audacious
plans Of these Trust msgnates
into the madness that but a
littIa nrncndns destruction

The two lucky doubles of Taylor
and Lerchen in the first gave the
visitors their first run. they chased
, three more across the pan by. means
of four hits, two of which were
scratches and two bases on balls.
Daringer opened the inning with a
| three-bagger to center field and
| Christy proceeded to fill the sacks by
passing two men, after he struck out
! Vandine. Then came Nunemaker'S
scratch hit through third. Kelley
spearing the ball and almost getting
| it. 1t he had double play would
have resulted and no scores would
| have been made. AS it was, one man
!, came in and the bases were still full.
! Then Pitcher Miller did the uneX-
pected and placed one where Murphy
! could not touch it. as Frank had
drawn in close to second expecting a
i short hit. Two runs were scored on
the hit and when Taylor squeezed
one through Berger, the bases were
! filled once more and only one gone.
Plass attempted to squeeze one in
, with a bunt but Wilson caught the
j popup and doubled Nunemaker at
third, ending the inning. The final
score for the Dubs came in the
eighth inning and as usual pass to
first started the trouble. Vandine
was the recipient of the favor and
Backoff advanced him to second with
his own out at first Hauser pro-
duced q single which scored Van.
Grimes Given n Run.
The Islanders made their first five
runs in the second and third innings
and then waited until the 14th be-
} fore getting the one needed to win
Vogel, a single by Jacobsen, a three
Dagger by Wilson and another single
by Mclean scored three runs. Grimes
who was on the slab appeared to be
fruit for the Islanders and they
started out in the third inning to get
his scalp and they succeeded. Nc
Bride got scratch hit and Kelley
. sacrificed him to second, whereupon
Stark singled over third and drove
Mac home. Manager Plass saw
what was bound to happen to Crime.
so he ordered him blanketed an(

1t was bargain day for sure yes
terday, as ladies day and 14-in-

ed make things exciting. The Is
landers came out on the top at the
end of the IA sessions. The final
score was 6 to 5. Wilson did the
hurting for the locals and with the
exception of the first and fourth in
nings, he; held the Miners pretty
safe. Christy was off color at that,
however. and during the long game
he issued six passes and three of
them resulted in runs. The Islanders
would have won the game in the reg
ulation nine rounds had. it not been
for a little misjudgment in, the out
| field. In the first round. two two
sackers were made just between CEN
ter and left. in, a place. where Muir
! ply is as sure of getting, them as he
is of getting his dinner. Both times,
however, and likewise in the fourth
inning, Murph misjudged his man
| and played too far towards the right
garden and Mcbride hung little toe
! close to his own territory. AS il
was, however, both players appeared
to be on the job all right, Mac getting
eight putouts, several of which were
mighty hard chances and Frank two
putouts to his credit, one of which
was 4 feature catch after a long run
| backwards
