THE WAR IN THE PHIL
IPPINES.

The greatest battle with
the Filipinos since February
was fought last Saturday as
the Americans advanced from
LolOma to Polo. Our losses,
according to dispatches from
Manila, were over 200 killed
and wounded. In the fgting
around Polo on Sunday the
American losses are reported
% killed and 80 wounded.
At last report the fighting
was still in progress, with
heavy losses on both sides,
IN the meantime the'rebels re-
treating towards Malolos.
The Filipino losses are much
greater than ours. The Amer
leans have so tar taken eVerV-
thing they have come to, but
have met with a stubborn re-
sistance BY the enemy, and
all towns abandoned bv the
Filipinos are first burned.
The insurgents are expected
to make a desperate stand at
Malolos, the capital, and
Aguinaldo's headquarters. It
is stated that the insurgent
leader has said that if the
capital is taken he will sur
render.
1t is hard to tell what the
outcome of this trouble will
be. Sherman spoke only too
truly when he said. WAR is
hell

THE NEW ARITHMETIC.

That go per cent" is better than
full illegal rates" may appear to be an
arithmetical impossibility but the
truth of the seeming paradox is
proven by Inspections:
The commissioners proceedings
as published in the Independent OF
January ID, occupies column meas
urement of So inches and then about
inches were crowded out into the
issue of January 20. The same infor-
nation, set according to law. as pub
lished gratuitously by WORLD, jan
uary IA, occupies a column of only A
incheS-leSS than half as much space
Omitting the proceedings of the
new board, which were not set in the
same type nor from the same copy, we
get more exact comparison "a
inches to "A inches.
If 81 inches, lawful space, is worth
90 cents then "A inches is equal to I24

THAN LEGAL RATES.

OH, so GENEROUS (!

The baby in the basement over on
Olson avenue last week put up a pitt
full wall because the autocrats of the
Wa-Keeney Land Office were prevent
ing it from exercising its great gen.
erosity toward settlers in the matter
OF final proof notices.
Everybody knows and no one has
complained, heretofore, that such
printing has always been dealt out
to the papers of that party which
happened to be in control of national
affairs at the time proof was made.
whenever and wherever a party paper
was available. This has given the
printing to opposing papers alternate
ly about every four years since 1884
1t has been fair and equal division
and no paper has been small enough
to complain or hog enough to want it
all until last week when the yelp was
raised by that philanthropic journal
which insults the memory of Noah
Webster by calling it independent.
The Independent has just had
two year run on final proof notices
and if it ever gave settler any re-
duction in charges it has not yet been
made known and should be blazoned
upon the walls without delay. In
fact, we suspect its generosity is
unique and none the worse for wear.
About two years ago an unfortunate
settler of this land district was in
danger of losing his home because he
had not the money to pay the ex-
penses of proving up" a neighbor.
an old soldier bent and crippled with
disease, kindly offered to pay the ex-
penses and save the claim He asked

tice, explaining the circumstances.
WORLD agreed to do it for nothing,
not 80 payable in farm produce but
Mogul Abe Frakes with his land office
red tape said nit and the Independent
got the benefit of the old and crippled
soldiers charity.
Neither the old soldier nor WORLD
said word in complaint. Names and
further particulars can be learned on
priyite inquiry. Let the generous
Independent do the bowling in pub
liz.

He thinks have no subscribers nor vet
get any new.
But he is off his base for we don't tell all we
He calls US Jim crow,
Well may be so!
But, again. we don't tell all we know
For if we did the Independent Ed. would get
the horse laugh
And that is more than he could stand by half.
He says we have no brains ha. ha !,
And yet the wonder grows
To think that pumpkin head holds all he
knows.
The day is not far distant
And still on the advance
When the Independent Editor may walk out
of town with Pop badges on his PANTS
