ARCHBISHOP PURCELL.

The Magnitude of His Financial Difficult
ties Increasing-Claims Amounting to
Nearly Four Million Dollars Already
Fiied-Proposed Lottery Scheme for His
Benefit.
CINCINNATI, Feb. 23.-The financial troub-
les Of Archbishop Purcell appear to increase
by later developments. The trustees ap-
pointed some time ago to receive and audit
claims decline to make public statement of
the amount already filed, but at recent
meeting of the clergy at which the arch
bishop presided, he stated that claims had al
ready been filed amounting to $30O,6OO,OOO.
All schemes for his relief having apparently
failed, an effort will be made by commit
tee of Roman Catholic clergy to have the
State laws modified so that lottery scheme
will be inaugurated for his benefit. His sue
cess, however, is considered doubtful in
Ohio. The Irish Catholics also complain
that no relief has been rendered the arch
bishop from the German churches, while the
latter ask that q full statement of his wants
be made public first

The People liant the Lace.
Faribault Democrat

Under the mask of mere economy the leg
islature propose to make it impossible for
the newspapers to lay before their readers
the laws they have enacted. The bill repeal
ing the publication has been killed once. but
this was earlier in the session, when it was
not known what schemes of profit were to
be brought in, and so the bill is brought up
again, or another similar one, which allows
but S25 to each paper for publishing the
laws. This is known to be equivalent to de-
stroying the law, as no paper in the State
can afford to publish them at that price. and
very few, if any of them, will do it. and this is
well understood by the Legislators themselves.
The price is already so low that publishers
have been obliged to club together and get
the laws printed in supplement form. IF
the price is cut down to S25 per paper a
large majority of the people of the State
will have to guess at what their representa-
tives have been about, and this is evidently
the design. 1t will take an appropriation Of
not over $4,000 to ensure the prompt and
general publication of the laws, and we are
certain that failure to provide for such
publication will meet with very general dis
approval.

New YORK, Feb. 23.-The long looked for
and much talked of meeting of Mike Coburn
and Spring Hill Dick in the prize ring took
place last night in the Brevoort, on Fifty
first street, before an audience of about 100
persons, many from Philadelphia. The men
were in excellent condition and well attend

Dooney Harris did the proper thing for
| Spring Hill Dick. At P. NJ, everything be-
| ing in readiness, the men entered the ring at
the call of time and went to work.
The fight was with hard gloves, according
to the London prize ring. In the early part
of the struggle Spring Hill Dick appeared to
be the better man and to have the best of
the fight, but later Coburn got in some pow
erful blows, which turned the tide of affairs.
Forty-fve rounds we're fought up
Capt. Mount, of the Nineteenth precinct,
with body of men broke in the doors and
arrested the whole party, among whom were
number of prominent citizens; three men,
bers of the press we're also locked up. The
fight lasted three hours and forty-fve min
utes and will be declared draw and the
stakes be divided between the men. Coburn
shows no signs of the encounter, while his
antagonist was battered and bruised about
the face until he could hardly see. His nose
and mouth we're hammered into a shapeless
mass. It is declared by prominent sport
the most scientific fight that ever took place
in New York and but for the police Coburn
would have had an easy victory and won full
money. The prisoners were all taken before
Judge Morgan at the Fifty seventh street
court. All were discharged except Cohurn
and Spring Hill Dick, who were held in

IGNORANCE Excuses No Man"

Anoka Republican,
Every year an effort is made to repeal the
law authorizing the publication of the laws
in country newspapers, and every year the
instigators OF such efforts have the pleasure
of seeing their bill spontaneously killed,
and of knowing that they are the objects of
public contumeiy and scorn. Ignorance
of the law excuses no man." And yet these
excessively wise law makers, would remove
the means of every man becoming conversant
with the laws of his State, and then enforce
them with rigid severity.

One of the clearest and most concise edi-
torials upon the publication of the laws, ap-
peared in the daily st. Paul GLOBE of the
18th. True, it emanated from one who an
nually reaps per centage of the appropria-
ton for that purpose, but the article was
stripped of any personal feeling, and only
endeavored to show what advantages their
publication in supplement form and sent
out by the country press, gave to the thou
sands of readers who only take home pa
per. It is indeed one of the widest freaks
of economy for the legislature to prohibit
its constituents from perusing the laws it
makes for their supposed benefit.
