The Policy of Disarmament.

The disarmament suggested to the
European States by the Russian En-
peror has been practically the policy of
this country from its foundation.
The army of the Revolution soon re.
turned to civil pursuits. The Mexican
war left US with a very small army. For
many years its total was 10000 only.
Immediately upon the close of the civil
war the great armies of both North and
South returned to peaceful industry.
The present war is not concluded but al
ready the volunteer regiments making
up nor than two-thirds of our service
are being mustered out of the military
service and becoming peaceful citizens.
Only the regulars will remain, a force
insufficient even for the duties of military
police which will be imposed on it.
In the sense of the Russian Emperor's
manifesto, disarmament has been our
standing policy; only when the emer-
gency arises for an army do we rush
ahead to create it, as, for instance, in
this war with Spain. Even the increase
of the army up to a force of 100000 men,
made requisite by our extended posses
sions because Of this war, will still leave
us practically unarmed in the sense in
which Emperor Nicholas speaks Of dis
armament.
1t is an expensive policy, as we have
found by experience. The cost of sup
plying the deficiency when war comes is
tremendous, and waste of life is newt.

Death Of lettie Evaline Little.

Died, $ miles southeast of Gladstone,
Sept. 3, at the age of E years, Lettie Eva.

vices were conducted from the M. E.
church at Gladstone Sunday afternoon
by Rev. c. L. Morehouse.
In fond memory of Lettio f. Little, daughter
OF John Little, who died September 8, 1893, aged
8 years, Q months and Q days.
Our henrts are sad and oh so lonely,
Our darling Lettie has gono awny
And left IFS weeping hero, with only
Her memory to cheer our way.
We wonder why one so tender,
One SO thoughtful, loving, kind,
One whose voice was swoct in singing,
Should DO taken from our home.
One whose worth was just beginning
In this world of care inc pain,
One who's missed 60 much by oil
At home, at church, at school, at play.
Yet after all why are we eighing7
We should not van her back again
Where fairest hopes ore ever dying
Filling the soul with grief and pain.
But rather would we 60 and meet her
In those bright realms beyond the tomb,
Where kindred ties are never broken
And flowers of hope forever bloom.

North Dakotans Ia tie pSlappiaes,

About the first information regarding
the North Dakota troops at Manila comes
through the special correspondent of the
Chicago Record, John T. McCutcheon,
who cables his paper under date of Sept.
2 as follows;
There is a general epidemic of home
sickness among the American troops at
this remote station, which seems to many
of the poor fellows like being on another
planet from that with which they are
familiar, instead of only in another hemi-
sphere. Nostalgia to them is a disease
of considerable power. Some of the
North Dakota troops are making the
best.of the situation by organizing in
Manila the first military lodge of Free
masons in this quarter Of the globe.
The North Dakota troops are stationed
at Malate, where the..6ghting occurred On
the day that Manila was surrendered and
where the Spanish forces so long resisted
the attacks Of the insurgents. The en-
tire district is under command of Col.
Treumann. The health of the regiment
is excellent. The only sickness is COM
prised in sixteen cases of malaria and
dysentery and one case of typhoid fever.
Private Prust of Company l is the only
mi whose condition is serious.
Capt. Moffet, who holds the post of
superintendent of the Manila prison, has
liberated several hundred Filipinos who
had been confined there for long periods,
even as high as eight and nine years,

Two batallions of South Dakota troops
and 300 officers and men of the Min
nesota volunteers arrived here on the
transport St. Paul four days ago. There
were no deaths and no cases of serious
sickness during the voyage. The Mimi
esota soldiers were distributed amoug
the various companies of volunteers from
that state which are now in Manila, and
which are regarded as veterans because
of the conspicuous and honorable part
taken by them in the battle of Aug. IL.

Suit was instituted yesterday by William

recovery of $3.50, deposited with the defend
ant as a wager on the result of footrace
to be run between one C. A. Huston and an
unknown person on October I'd, at Santa
Monica. The wager was with e S. Chat
field who was also to deposit similar
amount. the total to be paid to the winner
of the race. 1t is set forth in the complaint
that plaintiff repudiated the wager and
served upon the stakeholder. Hammond,
prior to the date set for the race, written
demand for the return of his deposit and
authorizing him to return to Chatfield any
moneys deposited by him on account of the
wager. Allegation is made that. in place
of surrendering the money to plaintn.
Hammond has threatened to dispose of the
same and an order is asked for the eXamin-
alton of defendant and that he be enjo!ned
from disposing of the money until its ulti-
mate disposition can be determined by the
court. Judgment is asked that defendant
holds said $3.50 as trustee for plaintiff and
that he be ordered to repay it to him. In
the course of the complaint it is alleged
that Hammond is insolvent and If he
should dispose of the trust fund plaintiff
would be entirely without remedy.

In the supreme court yesterday two de-

mits in limine. that the record fails to dis
close for review. either on the appeal from
the Judgment, or from the order, any ques-
tion arising out of any proceedings upon
the trial, outside of the judgment roll, for
the reason that the statement specifies no
ground of alleged nsufficiency of evidence,
or of alleged errors of law argued before
the court for the new trial.
The question raised. in both appeals, was ::
Can this court look beyond the Judgment
roll and the statement and consider the
motion for the setting aside of the decision
wherein judgment was given and to grant
plaintiff a new trial upon the grounds sta
ted in the notice of motion. This part of the
record was not authenticated in any man
ner except by the clerks certificate at the
end of the statement, and follows immedi-
ately after the judgment roll in the tran
script This question the court thinks was
answered in the negative in Leonard VS.

The court holds that the clerk cannot
supply by certificate what the law requires

The judge settles that statement and in this
case he certified to its correctness as it APP
pears in the transcript The clerk has no
power to add to or take from that state
ment as thus settled On account of omis-
sion of this essential matter in the state
ment itself, the court holds that the cause
was submitted for its decision on the

raised as to the sufficiency of findings. the
