SOUTHERN speakers and newspaper
writers seem to be anxious that ev-
erything relative to rebellion shall
be forgotten excepting that they
fought bravely. Well, the world is
satisfied to. say that they fought
bravely. But that is not the point
that the people of the future will
concern themselves about The point
that the future man will concern him
self about will be, "what was,the fight
for 1t will not then do to ''tell that
it was a fight gotten up to test the
bravery of the people ofthe southern
states. The truth will be told that the
south rebelled against the national
government, for the purpose of es-
tablishing an other government with
slavery for its corner stone. 1t is a
waste of time and throwing of dust
to talk about the bravery of thesouth.
No one discounts their bravery.
IT isn't every one that enjoys a
boxing match, or prize fight, as is
evidenced by what William Blaikie
says in the New York Tribune: Heen-
an is said to have once struck blow
which lifted 377 pounds off the floor
Sullivan, in loins and legs better
man, heavier also for his inches, and
for years past a furious hitter, can
probably strike quite as hard blow
as Heenan did. Let two men of Or
dinary strength take ten foot fence
rail six inches thick each way, tie a
boxing glove on one end, and then
bang that end against Captain Will
Jams face as hard as they can, and it
is doubtful if the blow will be as Vi
cious as one of Sullivan's best. Yet
it might possibly enlighten,,that guar
dian of life and property as to wheth-
er blows of that force are the blows
of friendly sparring or of fighting.
Quarter as hard blow in a street
fight would lock up him who fetch
ed it for disorderly conduct. Almost
any one of the blows by which Sulli
van felled that 210-pound man would
have either permanently disabled or
killed an ordinary man, un-
used to sparring, as your own news
columns show that some one is kill
cd annually by some far lighter blow.
Why should not this brutal work be
stopped in this State at once and for
good!
The following uncommon case is
as follows:
BALTIMORE, August 10.-The Or
phans Court to-day decided a singu-
lar question arising in connection
