The Prise at Home and the Pri@cl Figh
A6road.-A fight between Morrisey and Pool
says the N. Y. Erening Post, is low, vulgar
thing. hardly fit for eyes polite to look upon
even through the columns of newspaper
Some staid journals chronicle it only in brie
and obscure paragraph. 1t engages genera
attention, but then it is not respectable. Nov
we entertain the same view as our slow con
temporaries as to the respectability of this
lighting. We think John Morrissey and Bill
Pool and all other puglists had better employ
their strength in moving grass, reaping grain
hammering stone or shovelling dirt, than ir
marring each others fine proportions
But how much better is the great prize fight
going on over the waters? A million men
between whom there exists no cause for hatred
are arrayed in hostile ranks. And for what:
For the prize which their masters hold, and
which they exclusively will enjoy. They fight
to preserve to themselves an oppressive gov
ernment, which loads them down with tax, and
doubles the sweat on the poor mans brow.
The Gar is not a whit better than Morrissey
nor is the bloody Emperor of Austria more
entitled to respect than Bill Pool. And in the
free fight between the nations, which is just
opening, it is not improbable that other com
batants may be found who are not superior to
John Ling and Bill POOLS brother.
In one other respect the New York pugilists
are ahead. They have less words and more
blows. They ''pitch in without taking much
time to get their shirts Off

Being S109,000,000 more in the country

amounts of money brought into the country
that cannot appear in statistical tables. 1t
is estimated that over S30,000,00O in coin
have been brought in by immigrants since
1910. Of the $23O,000,000 in specie in
the country now, little less than sixty
millions is in the banks, little more than
twenty-seven millions in the National
Treasury, and the circulation of bank pa
paper is over one hundred and ninety-four
million dollars. Together they make over
three hundred and thirty-eight million
dollars as the active money Of the country
at the present time.
