plons named, including Jem Ward, who
still lives, and emitting Jem Mace and Tom
King, who bid fair, even though ffty-two
and forty-seyen years old, respectively, to
last many years longer, the average length
of life of the pugilists is figured out as
sixty-two and six-sevenths years. In the
days OF the early champions, however,
pugilists were more careful in their habits,
and sought to give satisfaction to their
patrons and hackers by restricting them
selves in indulgences to such an extent as
was consistent with ordinarily good be-
havior. In these degenerate days the
social habits of fstic heroes are given
greater latitude. The effect on the system
is damaging in proportion to the extent of
indulgence, and, consequently, the average
length of life of modern worthless of the
glove and fist will not compare favorably
with the years of pugilists of the past.

men, and they VIII serve as quickly without sal
aries as with-EUeniHg Journal.
Icannot agree with the Evening Journal
in the above statements. 1. The PROPOSE
ton to amend the Minneapolis city charter
so as to give the mayor salary OF $1,000,
and the aldermen $500 each per annum, is
not of doubtful propriety, unless it is less
or more than the services rendered are ac-
tually worth. ?. Since what the Journal
considers first class talent needs no salary
to tempt them to submit to the honors of
those offices, presume it would be imma-
terial to them as to the exact amount
raised, and would make a material differ
ence to men of less means. 8. We are rich
enough and big enough to pay all such SER
vices are worth, and that should be the
standard for first-class salaries.
4. We do not want men to serve the city
for nothing. Such men usually have some
other axe to grind than pure philanthropy.
1t may be the manipulating of public
affairs is not altogether an illegitimate
way, but just little off. so as to promote
personal interests. 1t may be simply love
of notoriety, coupled with true integrity,
which would not injure the city. 1t may
be love of power to control public
affairs so as to create oppor-
tunities to practice grand
and make much gain. On the whole, it is
not 4 safe policy for us to leave these Of
fees open to volunteers. While, on the
other hand, it is probable that we would
get honest service, on the other hand it is
possible for fraud 10 be practic9d; and it
is quite probable that for term of year
the volunteer plan will cost as much as
reasonable salaries would amount 10.
Further, it is opposed to the real spirit
of a popular government. The honest
poor man should have access to
thosa positions and not be
excluded by starvation wages There are
plenty of rich men who would gladly fill
all the Offices of this government from the
school district clerk up to the president of
the United States, simply for the power
and opportunities it gives; and they would
conduct affairs on ''the public be damned"
policy. Let a fair compensation be given
that all classes may compete untrammeled
for the wages and good will of the people.

CORRUPTION III HOLLAND.

Z hcDutcEt Colonial Minister i,s Trouble
In connection with the enormously rIoh
tin mines of Billion, in the Dutch East
Indies, dispute has arisen between the
chamber and the government which bids
fair to lead to a ministerial crisis, and to
bring about the resignation of some of the
ministers and other high officials.
The concession for the working of the
Billion tin mines was granted to the late
Prince Henry of the Netherlands
and his fellow shareholders in the
year 1862 for forty years, so that it
would expire in 1892. At first the returns
were scanty. but of late ears the mines
have yielded annually 100 per cent. on
the original capital and the shares are now
at an enormous premium, amounting to
500 per cent. The loss of concession of
so profitable a character was not matter
which the shareholders were able to con-
template with Indifference, and in 1875
means were quietly found inducing the
government to bring about a change in the
law with regard to the granting of mining
concessions. In that year bill was pass
ed by the Dutch parliament allowing such
concessions to be granted for seventy five
years, and permitting the king to pro-
long any existing concessions upon e1piry
to that length of time.
just year ago the new governor gen
eral of the Dutch Indies had hardly assumed
the duties of his position before he grant
ed the Billion company a supplementary
concession, prolopging the period of the
charter to seventy five years. Some months
later the new minister of the colonies, M.
de Brauw, few days after his appoint
ment, proposed to the king to approve and
ratify this supplementaryIcharter in con-
formity with the law of 1875.
Meanwhile, there were rumors of jobbery,
and when, upon an official valuation, it
was found that the clear value of the ad-
ditional oencession from 1892 to 1927 was
between 100000 and 100000 guilders,
there was lond outcry that the govern
ment was sacrificing the public interests
for the benefit of few private persons.
The second chamber was indignant, and
appointed a committee of inquiry into the
subject, and the report of this committee
was unfavorable to both the minister and
the governor general of the Netherland
Indies. The minister has defended his
conduct in memoir, and the matter will
come before the popular branch of the
legislature shortly.

good regulations in the ring as rule make
good livelihood in the saloon business,
and they live to a good round age. Joe
Goss, Arthur Chambers, Patsey Shepard
and others are purposes. Billy Edwards
has situation with Ed. S.
Stokes at the Hoffman house, New
York. 1t is Edwards pleasing duty to keep
watchful eye on the paintings and other
works of art in the drinking saloon of the
hotel, and prevent any injury to them by
unwelcome visitors. If the latter persist
in breaking the rules of the place or max
ing themselves obnoxious, Edwards re-
moves them as quietly as possible, and, if
they make much resistance, he taps them
on some vulnerable spot in order to bring
them to their senses. For this service he
gets salary equivalent to that of Boston
captain of police, and, in addition, he
"puts on the gloves" with guests of. the
house, and from the lessons he gives gets a
very fair revenue, which would make his
wages $4,000 or $4,000 year. Only the
successful and popular pugilists fare
we'll, however. Patsey Shepard is another
boxer who has circle of pupils in the
higher ranks of society, and has secured
reputation for quiet, geutlemanly demean-
or. The fistic representatives., who fail to
climb far up the ladder OF fame, fall back
very quickly, and soon find themselves
again at the forge or anvil. It is surpris-
ing how long some pugilists live. A fight
er is at his best when he is between %
and 30 years of age, but he continues to be
good man" until he turns his 35th year.
Some fighters, who do not lack egotism,
say they. can fight just as well at 40 years
as they could when 80 years OF age That
all depends said Joe Goss, in conversation
some time ago, ION how a man
uses himself" If he fights once in
two years, or twice in three
years, he may remain a frst-class man for
ten years; but we don't take good care of
ourselves, and fthat. with the drain caused
by training preparation, will show its
effects before one realizes that he's DONE |
If man fights two battles year for five
years, he must be a good one to stand it a
great while longer" Still, after closing
his career as a fighter, the strain which the
pugilist has undergone does not seem to
have any injurious effect, as, with ordinary
care of himself, he will live on to the full |
time allotted to man, and may be just as
good for an otf-hand encounter |
of short duration as ever he was. Two old !
fellows, named Busby and Scotty, whose
combined ages must be 125 years, fire.
quently appear at sparring encounters in |
this city and make great deal of amuse-
ment by their nimble movements and |
hard hitting, and they are so strong and |
vigorous as to suggest that there is yet |
many grains of sand to run out of their
time glasses. An indication of the long
years OF life enjoyed by pugilists may be
had from the following table of oges of
English champions, from the timeof Jack
Rrnnr fl that of Tom Kim.

The Reyersio,, Of Su,,ao,rerv.

That the sunhower follows the sun in its
westward journey is well known, but when
does it turn its face back again to the east
to greet the morning sun? Mr.. G. A.
White, of Washington,i lin letter to Nature,
relates an incident which throws some light
upon the subject. One evening, he says,
during the short stay at village in Colo
RADIO in the summer of 1881, took walk
along the banks of q long irrjgating
ditch Just as the sun was setting. The
wild variety of Helianthus anus, Lin.
'(g f. lonticularis, Douglass) grew
undantly there, and 1 observed that the
broad faces of all the flowers
we're, as is usual in the clear sunset, turned
to the west. Returning by the same path
less than hour afterward, and Immediately
after the daylight was gone, found to my
surprise that much the greater part of
those flowers had already turned their
face full to the east in anticipation, as it
were, of the SUMS rising. They hadin that
short time retraced the semicircle, in the
traversing of which with the sun they had
spent the whole day. Both the day and
night were cloudless, and apparently no
unusual conditions existed that might have
exceptionally affected the movements OF
the flowers.
1 doubt not adds Mr.. White, that many
persons like myself have supposed that
sunfowers remain all night with their faces
to the west, as they are when the sunlight
leaves them, and until they are constrained
by the light of the rising sun, to turn to
the east again. It is not my purpose to
offer any explanation of the cause of the
phenomenon here recorded, but it seems to
me improbable that it could have been an
exceptional. Instance; and only regret that
no opportunity has since occurred to me to
repeat tie observation.

The proposition to amend the Minneapolis

of doubtful propriety. The salaries are not
enough to tempt hrst-class talent in those posi-
lions, but just about enough to make them a
