SERGEANT BARlV'S ANSWER
TO REMARKS N SERVICE
National Guards Will Play Any Mil.
itary Team in the Country, and
Beat Them, Too.

Sergeant Barry Is not mad, oh no,
only a little annoyed at certain re-
marks that appeared in military pa.
per few days ago. The genial SER
geant writes ms follows:
Sporting Editor, Bulletins:
Dear Sir:--My attention has been
drawn to certain remarks In the Ser.
vice" that seem to imply that my team
Of ball tossers Is overrated. and that |
have been blowing too much about
the Guards ball playing abilities.
Now, wish to say that my boys are
good bunch and that they will play
any military team in these islands any
old time match can be arranged, /
did not say anything when the Fleet
nine beat the Guards. Every body
known it-.was- bard. luck, - but. there
was no kick coming. -sS''f-'
think the remarks Of the Service
show animosity to the N. @. II. boys
and there Is no reason for any such
statements. As far as I, personally
am concerned. would not take any
notice OF the remarks OF the scribbler
for the Service. He does not know
what he is talking about, and knows
less about anything else.
Finally the Guards are ready to take
on any team Of soldiers or marines In
the country-and beat them too, not
withstanding the Service mans hot
air."
Yours truly,

What Democratic Leaders Think.
I'm my opinion the next house will
be democratic by a majority of be-
tween forty and fifty" said James T.
Lloyd, of the national democratic
congressional committee. Mr. Lloyd
is in close touch with political con-
ditions in practically every congress
sional district in the country, and is
generally reputed among his col
leagues as more likely to be over
cautions than over confident, if any
thing, when making political prog
nostications. Minority leader Champ
Clark predicts the democratic major
ity in the next house may possibly
reach seventyfive.
Republican Extravaganza.
When the republicans took con-
troll of the federal government in
1861 the expenses of the government
were about $65,O0O,00O annually,
nearly $1,000, 100000 less than now
AS Hon. James G. Blaine says in his
Twenty Years in Congress: The
leaders of the democratic party had
guarded the treasury with unceasing
vigilance against every attempt at
extravaganza or corruption The
result Of this frugality and honesty
was seen in the annual expenditure.
Economy in public expenditures has
always been a cardinal principle of
the democratic party. The appropri-
ations for four years of Cleveland S
administration were less than one
half the appropriations of the last
four years of republican rule.
Where Our Money Goes.
Figures showing the number of
new offices created for republican
politicians by the last session of con-
gress have not yet been prepared
The preceding congress, however,
created 26,944 new positions. For
new offices created and salaries in
creased, the Sixtieth congress added
to the taxes paid by the people the
stupendous sum of $39,563 ,577. SS
