Fulfilled Their Promise !.

The Nez Perce Implement Co., agents
for the Triumph gang plow, advertised
that on Monday afternoon last they would
demonstrate the light draft Of their plow
by having two men draw the plow and
turn furrow 2S inches wide by 6 inches
deep. True to their promise the feat
was accomplished Tor a distance of IS
feet. M. b. Kizer, the travelling repre-
sentive of the manufacturers, on behalf
of the local agents, the Nez Percc Implc-
ment Co., before a crowd of about 400
people, consisting of farmers and citi-
zens, on the fleucher property on East
Main street, gave practical tests between
the gang and walking plow to the entire
satisfaction of the audience present. The
following farmers acted as judges c.
A. Leeper, II. A. Morgan and ]. {.
Peterson. The test was between a
Triumph 2S-inch gang and a I4-inch
Bucher' & Tibb's steel.beam walking
plow. The ground was of sandy loan
and in good condition TO plow. The

actual difference in the draft of these two
plows we will make the following COM
parisons
Based on the above showing, il the

it would have required 537 pounds OF
draft. To do the same work with two
walking plows it requires 75o pounds

Based on the above showing, if two
walking plows had turned furrow the
same size as the one actually turned by
the Triumph, viz 29Sx7 s inches, which
equals 232.4 square inches, it would have
required ,o44 pounds of draft. To dc
the same work with the Triumph it re,
quired 75s pounds. Difference in favor
Of Triumph gang, 2S9 pounds.

WHAT WE PROMISE THEM.

The Administration has at last made
a definite statement to the Filipinos
regarding the form of government pro-
posed for the Philippines pending ac-
ton by Congress. It amounts to a
simple arrangement, of Governor,
council and Judges appointed by the
United States, with sub-officials chosen
according to ability and need from
among Americans and F'iLpinos: re-
publican system, with possible modi-
fed suffrage in local matters, according
to ability to exercise it.
But through it all the power of the
United States remains supreme We
are not going to turn things over to
Aguinaldo demagogues, or those of any
other stripe We are not proposing
to abandon the rule of the situation to
insurgent chiefs or aspiring native
demagogues and office-seekers The
welfare of all the people is to be the
first consideration, with perfect in
difference as to whether rebel chiefs
ST. 4iAlc OiACS eiiAu I6CSlfSf Lat OF ledil
places, or any at all.
Clearly the insurgents have been
given an answer that is meant to be
and is the ultimatum. In our opinion
it was a mistake to make any answer
at all; to reconize them in any manner
except by the demand that they Law
down their arms and return to the arts
of peace. However, it is not a matter
of much moment. Recognition of them
as belligerents makes no politica, ces-
sion whatever, and confers no rights
that will live a second after the sur
render is complete
The leaders in the insurrection are
looking after their precious necks. and
wish to be assured that they will not
be taken out on the Luneta, as in the
cid Spanish days, and shot before
breakfast. They may as we'll be told
that their carcasses are safe. but that
if they win transport themselves out
of the archipelago the United States
will be better pleased. To have them
remain as disturbance producers, as
they always have been. will be uncom-
Portable.

DISGRUNTLED CUBANS.

Some of the Cuban soldiery have dig
banded, gone to their homes and taken
their arms with them. They thus refuse
the gratuity the United States offers
them, and are practically defiant. That
is because We would not pay them
thrice the sum we see fit to cast away
in pure charity in return for their sur
render of arms. They now return to
civic life sullxing and carrying their
guns with them. Happily there are
but a few hundred of these fellows.
The mass of the army will turn in the
arms and take the pay we advance.
as General Gomez advises them to do,
and as he has agreed shall be done.
The arms are to be surrendered to-
the Mayors and civil Governors and
stored until the United States gathers
them into arsenals. In the meantime
Cuban armorers are to be appointed
to care for the guns. If, as is sus-
pected. there are at work in Cuba IN
fuences to embitter the native Gu
bans against the United States. the
heads are probably behind this move
ment of a few soldiers to disband and
refuse payment from the gratuity fund
1t will not be difficult to locate the in
dividuals who are prompting that
movement and give 1t all the life 1t
bers of the late Military Council that
attempted to down Gomez. They should
be looked to sharply. They could
easily foment an insurrection that
might be. 1t takes only very few
hdndred Cubans accustomed to camp
life, familiar with the topography of
the country, and not liable to diseases
quickly to brew trouble and keep it
UP. that would practically put an end
to the pacification of Cuba until the
last of the insurgents was rooted out
of hiding.
Since the foregoing was prepared,
news is at hand that the belief is gem
eral in Havana that the payment of
the Cuban troops and the surrender Of
arms will now go on without any in
terruption on the part of the Cuban
soldiers. 1t is admitted, however, that
the long delay and the many hitches
in preparing for the distribution of the
5000, COO have occasioned much bitter
ness of feeling, but it is thought that it
will wear away.
This news appears to be authentic.
Tt does not, however contradic. the
previous statement that certain COM
mands have disbanded, refused to wait
longer for settlement, and will reject
the sum awarded them, anyhow, and
that on disbanding they carried their
arms with them. These men may be
induced by their comrades returning
to their homes with pay in their pock-
cts to reconsider, put In an appearance,
and surrender their guns. If they do
not, there is just large enough group
of malcontents to brew much mischief

So it is that the day observances car
ried out under direction, of the Grand
Army of the Republic are largely of
devotional character, closing in the ev-
ening usually with patriotic exercises,
but never with anything in the pro-
grammes of light or trivial character.
1t is a. very healthful sign, this DISPOSE
ton to hold the day sacred, and that
such sentiment is having rapid growth

It is pleasing to note that the dispo-
sition so manifest few years ago to
make Decoration Day a holiday, a day
for sports and pleasures, is abating,
and now such events as are classed
among vacation sports and recreafions
are frowned upon on the day set apart
for contemplation of the deeds OF the
dead heroes of the republic In fact,
the tendency at one time so pronounced
to engage in festivities on that solemn
occasion is rapidly passing, and 1t
should vanish The day was not es-
tablished exactly for mourning, but
certainly it was not intended for fes-
tivity and holiday glee. The intention
was to have the people on that day
bear testimony against the old saying
that republics are ungrateful; to pay
respectful tribute to valor and devotion
to the interests of an indissoluble union
of sovereign and Independent States; to
impress youth with the truth that the
neople honor those who rise in arms in
defense of the integrity of the nation.

The Filipinos want autonomy What
will they ask next? They appear to be
determined upon having recognition of
some kind from the United States in
an expressed guarantee prior to cessa-
ton of hostilities. But unless we are
greatly mistaken in the President, there
will be no yielding, no compromise. Un-
conditional surrender Of all the insur-
gent forces must precede all else. Then
must follow complete trust and repose
in the justice Of the United States to
deal we'll and fairly by the people of

LOUISVILLE, Sept. "A baseball CON-
edy in eight acts was played at League
Park this afternoon. The Colonels were the
heavy Williams while the Senators. assisted
by Arlie Latham, took care of the comedy
roles. On the whole it was an enjoyable
exhibition. 1t served as fitting windup to
the local baseball season, and while some
critics declared it anything but the national
game, certainly the crowd enjoyed the per-
formance- The people laughed loud all dur
ing the eight innings Of play. The Colo
nels narrowly escaped breaking all batting
records. They made twenty-five scores
They lined out twenty-five hits six of
which were home runs and three two-bag-
gers. total of forty-tnree bases, and at
that they only played eight innings because
The Senators wanted TO catch a train for
home. Il is likely that the home team
would have broken all batting records had
the fun nine innings been played. To give
the details OF the game would require
page in an ordinary newspaper. Here are
a few items about what some OF the Colo
nels did:
Clarke got FIVE safe hits. home run and
four singles. Hoy got three singles,
home run and three bases or balls, scoring
five runs. Billy Clingman, counted the
weakest batter on the team, drew home
run, two singles, a base on balls and four
scores Leach got a double, a home run,
and three scores. Ritchey got home run,
q single. and three scores.
And so on. The Cololels would simply
walk up. slam al the ball. and 1t would hit
the fence. Dinneen pitched the first four
innings for Washington In that time the
Colonels found him for fourteen runs, three
home runs, two-bagger, seven singles.
and four bases on balls, while Mercer made
TWO errors and Stafford one. The feature
OF the fourth inning, however, was a home
run each by McGann and Freeman after

touched him up for eleven scores in four

Charles Miller and Prof Bower has wrest-

casioned by the match between Ernest Roe
ber and George Burlingame. of that city
which takes place at the Academy of Music

for the championship OF the world. Both
principals are rounding into form and some
great work is expected in the wrestling
line. The champion himself can be no more
confident of his ability to win than is Bur-
lingame. That confidence is also enjoyed
by a large number of his Baltimore admir-
ers. They believe that If Roeber is TO be
beaten in the next two years that the young
Baltimore wrestler is the one to turn the
trick Several New Workers who are up
on the game and have seen Burlingame
work are of the opinion that he is the COM
ing man. If training, bard Jealous train
ing. will win a contest, Burlingame should
walk away with the honors.
