Goose Egg the Cutlery Town Aggregatios Scoring First Shut Dat of Season
 in Connecticut League.

Yesterdays game at Newfield Park was replete with sensational one handed running catches especially by the members of the New Britain team. The final score was to O. New Brit ain getting the honor Of being the first team shut out this season. In the field the visitors played snappy field ing, having but one error, eout it was very costly as the first run was made on it. Pollard. who was taken out of the box up in Holyoke on Tuesday for giving too many free. passes was on the mound yesterday, and showed that he was the goods. Polly had every thing that goes to make up a finished with men on bases. Kocher, behind the bat, was there with the whip that made the visitors hug the bags. A chilling wind blew across the field but did not seem to hinder the fielding of either team.
 New Britain looked dangerous in the opener when with one down. Dunlap hit into left for a single: Waterman flew out tp sHilt. and McCabe dupli- cated Dunfap's feat Mason was at the bat and things looked bad for Pollard but Kocher was there with the whip and caught Dunlap mapping at second. In Bridgeport's half Dusty" Miller cracked the first ball pitched to him
 
 was caught sleeping on second by a throw from Wells to Mcdonald. The scoring started in the third. Pollard sent an easy one to Mcdonald which that player let get by him. Miller sacrificed sending Pollard to second. Bannon's wicked drive at Mcdonald was too hot for that individual to han dle and Pollard came home on the hit. Bridgeport got her second and last tall ley in the sixth. Miller first up made his second hit of the game, went to second on Bannon's sacrifice and came home on Hi Ladd's clean welt to cen- ter.
 Ladd moved up to second when Wells issued free transportation to Phelan. Bourquin who had been hit ting the ball hard up to this time sent what looked like a three bagger over Waterman's head in left field, but that youngster turned on his heel and by a beautiful one handed catch robbed the locals of at least two runs.
 After the first New Britain never was dangerous till the seventh when they had two men on bases with but one down Pollard was on his job, however. and famed the next two men. The score:

Washington, April 27.-''The Repub- l lican party and the American Protec- | tive League have carried out their | promise in revising the tariff to suit | themselves and the American people | have again been folled-just as they
 will be folled to all eternity until and
 unless this whole subject of Federal | taxation is resGzIed from the contamf- mating touch of politics and these great
 combinations of such fabulous dimen- sions that they practically own the government of the United States are told that the hour has come when they must dissolve and retire and make
 way for the people,"
 This is the keynote of the speech of Senator Rayner of Maryland today in
 the Senate, on the Aldrich tariff bill.
 "Both in the Payne bill and this
 bul," he asserted, "upon critical analy-
 sis you can easily discern the delicate
 touch of a fine Italian hand-or, rather
 two hands, one of them reducing duties
 and the other still keeping them up to such a figure that the reduction would
 be of no actual benefit to the Amer
 ican people. This constitutes the gen.
 ius of this bill. Under the magic touch of architects of this bill the American consumer will have exhibit
 ed before him a large number of re- auctions dn the tariff and he will be delighted. and the industries that are furnishing the articles upon which the duties are reduced will at the same time fully realize that the reduction still enables them to command their own prices and they will be more de- lighted.
 ''Upon a careful examination of this bill I now assert that I cannot find within any of it's provisions any change that will relieve us from the exactions and oppressive tributes that have been levied upon the American yan< ,1a I,xv fl,n nf IL ized wealth-the trusts. I do not find within this bill 8 line or sentence that weskens their grasp upon the commerce of the country
 Rayner specified the schedules in the bill which he thought particularly outrageous, characterizing schedule K -wools and their manufacturers an insult as it always has been to the American people which challenges as to their right to live except with the permission of the interests that have dictated their own excessive figures. The remedy by which the Maryland tems of revenues was to open all the ports, bringing them into competition with the world.
 They have" he said. raised prices to such an unnatural figure that it is almost impossible for persons in mod crate circumstances to provide the of life. Worse than this. they have deteriorated the supplies Iney sell, imposed upon the peOpie ar tic1es of inferior grade and quality and lay the whole country under tribute | to their exactions and extortions."
 The Maryland Senator spoke for the Democratic doctrine of Tariff for revenue only" He de- 1 clared the present bill was an utter failure in; the raising of revenue and would not add any appreciable amount to collections now made under the Dingley law. The reason for this, he asserted, was that the bill though un- der the guise of raising the revenue, l nevertheless had for its object the fur | of protection.

other execv'dye officers in tho terri tory. To assume this is to cast a dpust upon the official honesty and eciercy of the entire 4'oiice force of the territory.
 The rangers were not provided with the idea that they were to be come police officers in the cities and towns already supplied with del'uty sheriffs and constables for the enforce n,ent of the Jaw. Much of the preju- dice now existing in the territory has been caused by acts of individual members of tho rangers in performing duties which they were never in- tended for. The rangers wore sup posed to be on duty in the isolated sections of the territory where there were no other officers available and chasing murderevs. cattle thieves and outlaws. A sheriff or his deputies cannot devote their time in hunting out iaw-breakers on the cattle ranges of the territory. They arc supposed to make arrests where the criminal is known. Their officers receive no rec ompeuse for chasing criminal 'mless they can make the arrest On the other hand the ranger. being on a salary. is valuable in hunting out crime wherever 1t is believed to exist
 The charge was made by Council man Wesdin that the rangers were as- seSsed ten per cent of their salary last year for the rdpubiican campaign fund. Whether this Is true or not we cannot say, but if it is it shows that the governor or his representatives were working the rangers for purpose other than the prevention and sup pression of crime in the territory. So far as the enforcement of the law against gambling and for the regula- ton of saloons are concerned we do not regard the rangers as B necessity in Arizona. but for the legitimate pur- poses for which the force was created we believe it would have been better to allow it to remain undisturbed-
Bisbee daily review., 1909-02-17

Governor Kibbey is ingenious in put ing the Arizona rangers on the same footing with the useless political of ices in the territory. While there are many people in the territory who regret to see the ranger service abol- ished. the fact remains that there will be general reojieing at the work Of the legislature in- abolishing the useless office of territorial. examiner, he assistant secretary of the terri tory and the placing of the district clerks on salary. All these measures are in the direction of economy and should be approved by the people.

KIesEV's oeENss OF THE RANGERS.

While we agree with Governor Kib- bey In his contention that the ranger force has been g valuable police or ganization for the territory and has driven many desperate criminals be- yond the borders of Arizona. stil we think the governor made a weak effort in his defense Of his veto filed against the bill for she abolisbment of the rangers.
 Governor Kibbey takes the position that the rangers are necessary to en- force the law in places where county officials are standing in with the law less element. mentioning that in cer- tain localities the snti-gambling law could not have been enforced because the local officials could not be dc pended uron to sec that the law was ooeyed. We do not agree with this view of the governor as to the duties and necessities of the ranger force in Arizona
 The impression Is gained from reading of the governors message ae- eompanying his veto of the ranger bill, that he regards the rangers as necessary for the purpose of guaran- tecing the fulfiIIment of duty On the sart of tre sherifss. ccnsfables and
