The service of the players also

Athletic Park Games
For Sunday Next

Next Sunday at the Athletic Park
the usual two games Of ball will be
played, and there is no doubt Of the
size Of the crowd that will attend.
Three thousand appears to be the reg.
ular number Of fans for an afternoons
sport at the park. .s.f.,s
The hrst game Will be between the
J.. A. C.s and Marines. and the second
one will be fine struggle between the
C. A. C.s and the Kallhls. These two
games should provide a rafting good
afternoons sport. and there Is nc
chance Of picking winner before the
nine innings are played. The four
teams have q way Of beating each 9th
err, and then winning from each other
that simply defies man to predict
who will win.
The first series promises very close

The only way one company could
show much higher profit than another
was by reducing labor cost by Undue
ing men to work harder or by reduc-
ing cost of raw material. The prin-
ciples of organized labor forbid much
inequality of exertion for the same pay,
and the only way to get raw material
cheaper was to defraud the govern
ment i'm the customs houses, since raw
sugar was bought practically all in the
same market
Therefore, if the officers and direc-
tors of the sugar trust know the de-
tails of their own business, they must
have known that any refinery which
showed an unusual profit was probably
defrauding the government of customs
due The frauds may have become so
general and the division of their profit
so extensive as to bring ali refiners
back on about the same footing and
mask the evidence of fraud. That is
the only possible excuse for the present

EsTRADA's VICTORY.

The success of Gen. Estrada's army
at Rama may materially help to relieve
the Nicaraguan situation of embarrass-
ment to the United States. The cleo
ton of Madriz to the presidency by the
congress at Managua confronted the
government at Washington with diff
taoin official relations with Zelaya was
based upon his conduct both as an in
dividual and ais an official. At the
same time the United States did not
pledge itself tossaccept his immediate
successor chosen presumably by the
elements upon which Zelaya himself
depended for support. and possibly
merely his owIr personal representa-
tive in the office.
The custer of Zelaya from the presi-
dency would not have been accom-
plished save for the Estrada revolution.
1t would have been .deplorable if the
sacrifices of the Insurgents led only to
a change of individuals at Managua
and not change of regime. The ac-
ton at Rama appears to have been
decisive, a large number of the Zelay-
an forces including the general in COM
mand. being captured What effect this
will have upon the fortunes of the
newly elected president remains to be
seen, but it is probable that the victory

however, begun on October /, and 1
will state why.
But a short time after We had en-
tered into a firm contract for the mon
ey, the now world renowned budget"
was flashed on the house of commons.
1t was passed there, but refused by the
house of lords. Then, as is we'll known,
it was referred to the people, who will
express their opinion some time next
month
This bill, or budget, provides for
the taxing of the landed estates held
in entail, about one-fifth of the coun-
try, which has never been taxed before
This was, it is easy to see, popular
measure, but not looked upon with
favor by the lords. The second great
change produced by the proposed bud
get, was to turn the country from free
trade to one of import taxation. These
two propositions, revolutiOnizing the
methods of raising money for govern
ment support and completely changing
it's financial system. upset the financial
markets in England, and the bank rate
jumped from 2 1-2 per cent to 5 1-2
per cent.
1t was owing to these reasons that
we were not able to begin work Oc
tober l.

will see the road completed.
1T took some time to get the matter
through over there, for there the meth
DDS of business are entirely different.
You cannot go into an Office, have a
man look over your proposition and
say what he will do. Everything is
done over knives and forks Business
is transacted at dinners, luncheOns,
teas. And for this reason it took
us quite while to get the matter COM

A PREMIUM ON SUGAR
FRAUDS.

Let us examine with candOr and fair
ness the defense made for the respon-
sible owners and managers of the SUI
gar trust when held to responsibility
for the weighing frauds committed by
their subordinates.
1t is often said in all seriousness that
the officers and directors of the trust
were ignorant of these frauds and
could hardly believe the evidence
when they were exposed. The bare
explanation that over-zealous subOrdi
mates risked conviction and punish
nent for Infamous crime in order to
make record of profitable service to
the trust that employed them was gen
orally laughed at.
But when it is added that the trust
offered generous prizes to the consti-
tuent companies which showed largest
profits in refining raw sugar brought
into the customs houses, the defense
becomes ineligible. If these prizes
were large enough, it is not difficult to
believe that subordinates were willing
to break the law in order to earn them,
and that government employees were
willing to aid them for share of the
profit of the crime.
But we cannot see how this explain
alton clears the skirts of the officers
and directors. In the highly efficient
organization of the sugar trusI, no
constituent company had much advan-
tage over another in economies of pro-
duction and all had to sell at the same
price.

ONE INHERITOR OF ROOSEVELT
METHODS.

Persons prejudiced in favor of old
fashioned courtesty and dignity in di-
plomacy are wishing that Secretary
Root were back in the state depart
ment. 1t is no necessary to announce
the most vigorous policy with harsh
words. The British government, for
declaration of war to the Boer repub-
lies with far less intemperance of
protest to Nicaragua against an un-
proved outrage upon American citizens.
1t is an odd thing that the big
stick and short and ugly word
method of the late president should
survive in the one department of the
government where they were unknown
in his own time. Secretary Hay car
ried on diplomatic business of the gov
eminent, though he never lacked firm
ness or plainness, with the gentle cour-
tesy that was his nature in every re-
lation of life.
Secretary Root not only followed his
example in this respect; he improved
upon it in dealing with the countries
of Spanish America, using an exag-
gerated courtesy and gentleness to
suit the natural sensitiveness of weak
er nations. 1t will be remembered
that he did not hesitate to rebuke his
own countrymen for want of consider
alton in business and political rela-
tions for the sensitive, high-spirited,
finely bred and sweet natured races
