PITTSBURGH, Pa, March GA DIES
perate prize-fght of seventy-two rounds
was fought in barn in the East end, the
principals being Jack Davis, of Wheeling
w. Va, and Jim ConnorS, OF this city
The men fought at 1877 and l42 pounds re-
spectively. Hard gloves were used, and
the prize was a silver cup valued at 5000,
The match, which was made some time
ago, was to have been private, but by
some means the report that they were
to fight in the East end got noised
about. and when the principals arrived at
the scene fully 500 persons were on hand.
Not more than 100 of them gained admit
tanCe to the barn, and shortly after eight
O'Clock the doors were closed and the
men undressed for the mill. Both
stripped finely and were in prime condi-
ton, Up to the twentieth round it was
nip and tuck between them, but after that
Davis began to show signs OF falling
strength. lie fought desperately, how
ever, and refused to give up the battle
until compelled to do so by his friends
after he had fought seventy-two rounds.
The mill was then declared in favor of
Connors. Both men showed evidence of
hard punishment at the conclusion of the
fight, but Davis was terribly beaten, and
was unable to stand from exhaustion,
While the principals were still in the ring
the door was battered down by squad
of fourteen policemen, and a general scat
tering followed. The spectators fought
and all but Davis and four or
five others who were interested in the
fight escaped, not before several police
men had been knocked down, however,
and severely beaten. The names of a
large number who were present are in
the hands of the police, and they will be

The Dynamite Scare in Canada.

OTTAWA, ONT, March 22.-Excitement
over the dynamite scare increases. The
guards about the Parliament Buildings
have been again doubled, and placed at
each door to prevent strangers from NOV
ing about the premises. Detectives in
plain clothes are also patrolling the
buildings, and are on duty at each of the
city hotels, watching new arrivals
and keeping under surveillance several
parties against whom suspicion
has been directed. 1t is be-
lieved that Speaker Kirkpatrick, of the
House of Commons, has received several
threatening letters within the past few
days.
There was considerable excitement in
the House over the discovery of O'Dono-
van Rossa's paper in the desk of promi-
nent member of Parliament who is sup
posed to'be a sympathizer with lreland's
wrongs. He denied any knowledge of
how the paper got there, and says that it
is put up job on the part OF his oppo-
nents to place him in false light.
Speaker kirkpatrick will not return to
his quarters in the Parliament Buildings
until the excitement is over. At the Gov
ernment House, where Lansdowne re-
sides, extra precautions have been taken
for his safety. A strong guard patrols
the grounds, and any suspicious-looking
characters are at once elected from the

brother of Congressman 5. L. Bennett,
went out visiting with his wife, leaving

DENVER, April 8.-Noticing pamphlet
of the Mccormick reaper, 1 saw a pic
ture or view of Rand & Brow's farm Of
$500 acres of grain, in the Red river val
ley, Dakota. There we're a vast num-
Der of reaping machines, men and horses
at work, and one man, we'll dressed, sit
ting in sulky drawn by fine horses. 1
presume he was one of the proprietors,
overlooking and talking to one of his
hirelings, who was standing with his
hand to his hat, with that inferior air
that slaves should wear in the presence
of their superiors. The thought struck
me, what fools men are to be 80 de-
graded to labor from morn till night to
enrich one or two men, who have OBJ
tanned possession of these 3,7OO acres,
bought from the government at 1926 per
acre.
And these same laborers through their
ignorance made this government-and
sustain this oppressive condition. Sup
pose all these laborers had this farm on
the cooperative plan, how much good
would be done. They would be partak-
ers of the whole eftheir labor and would
not be menials or slaves to capital. A
$500 acre tract would make forty-six
homes of eighty acres each. That would
be more in keeping with a government
for the people than it is now admin
istered. Our government is working
into the hands of capital and our con-
gresss is alder and abetter in this whole
sale robbery. FIT

WILL HE DO 1T!

Myron W. Reed, the new pastor of the
Congregational church, arrived in this
city last week, and assumed his assigned
position last Sunday. There would be
nothing of particular interest to working
people in this statement were it not for a
declaration made by Mr.. Reed the day
following his arrival in the city. He was
interviewed by reporter of one of the
city dailies, and during the conversation
made use of the following language, to
which call special attention:
I'm my pulpit l shall not appear as a
special pleader for rich men. They have
money enough to hire lawyers for them !;
they NAV own some ministers, but they
don't own me-"
In the face of the well-known toady-
ism of a majority Of the ministers this
expression suggests an honest and fear
less disciple of Christianity, and the
humble and truly good citizens of Dem
yer bid God-speed to the work of Mr.
Reed, so long as he conforms to the prin.
ciples embraced in the foregoing declara-
ton.
Mr.. Reed will find that the aristocracy
of Denver is not unlike that of other
cities, and that a strong pressure will be

THE BENEFIT DRAWING.

l am asked twenty times day how
the tickets for the benefit distribution
are going of, and am compelled to say
that they are going slowly. I hate to
have to call attention to the lack of in
terest in 80 worthy an undertaking. and
one which will ultimately result in pc
cuniary benefit to some one of our work
ing people, if they will take an interest
in the matter; to say nothing of the in
estimable benefit which comes from con-
tinuing the publication of journal
devoted to the cause. But have been
considerably disappointed by the slow
sale of tickets. A large number OF
friends have taken tickets from me to
sell, but very few of them have so far
accomplished anything to speak of.
have no wish to complain of these
friends-and probably have no right to
do so; but l certainly will be allowed to
request all those who have tickets to
make what fort they can to dispose Of
them soon, and make returns. There
are some tickets in the Office yet, and l
hope if there are any friends who think
they can dispose of some, they will call
and get them.
The drawing will take place as soon as
the tickets are all sold and notice sufi,
cient can be given to ticket holders Of
the time and place.
This worthy undertaking does not
seem to be entirely free from the inter
ference of the chronic croaker, and !
want to say now, that everything con-
nected with this scheme is as l have
represented it to you. 1t is simple and
perfectly square. The deed to the lots
will be given to the holder of the lucky
number as coon after the drawing as it
is possible to make out the papers. l
certainly would not forfeit my good name
among the working people, the business
community and my personal friends for

whole matter.

brought to bear upon him by the occu-
pants Of his pews if he becomes very
candid in treating the questions of true
Christianity and morality.
But will Mr. Reed fully carry out the
expectations of the thoughtful reader of
his language We shall see. He says,
aThe rich men don't own me-" This
might be interpreted to mean great
deal, or nothing. | do not suppose there
is a minister in Denver who wbuld not
say the same thing. if compelled to say
something positive on that subject; but
Mr.. Reed has voluntarily given his senti-
ments to the public, and by his conduct
has issued warning to the rich church
men of Denver that they may look for q
new style of preaching in his church.
Having placed himself squarely on
record as an exception to the general
run of ministers, he must now prove
that what he has said was not bluff !.
The assertion that the rich do not own
a preacher amounts to no more than it
would if he said the poor did not own
him. What we want and what we shall
expect from Mr.. Reed, is an administra-
ton in his new charge that will show he
is not in the power of the wealthy. If
he is entirely free from control by rich
members of his church if he has not
a particle of fear of them if he is be-
yond the pale of their dictatorial powers,
then we may look for some startling
lectures during his stay in this city.
Every minister of the gospel admits
that God considers the poor as well as
the rich man but the pastor who is to-
tally free from the influence of the
money in his congregation would sav
things to the hypocrites, thieves and
murderers who are on the church roll,
which have never heard or read yet.
There are a few ministers who have
made great progress in this direction !;
but the WHOLE TRUTH is never pro-
nouDced from the pulpit. So long as
preachers of the gospel compete with
each other. for the aristocratic charges
and high salaries there is little hope that
it will be-. The competitive system is
polluting the sanctuary of God.
l shall await the future utterances of
Mr.. Reed with considerable of interest,
and readers of this paper will be kept
informed as to his upward or downward
tendency,

The Socialists OF New York.

The mass meeting Of the Socialists,
held in Cooper Institute, New York City,
last Saturday evening, was attended by
fully 5000 persons. The object of the
meeting was to discuss the Cincinnati
riot An extra police force of 300 was
detailed to prevent any disturbance.
Most and Schwab did not take any part
in-the meeting.
On the platform were a number of
notices, among which were the follow
ing: 'The unconsumed products of the
past should he an equal inheritance to
the living generation;" "Government

merce and the employe of the people !"
"Our motto, no rich, no poor" Mr..

pwARFED REFoRMERs.

1t is really sad to observe the twisting
and squirming of some of the Tabor"
papers of this country when brought face
to face with the industrial problem The
"purely trade union journal" is usually
the most pitiable subject These sheets
are either run by numbskulls who don't
know anything beyond the cover Of their
constitution and bylaws" or by towards
who are afraid to say anything that
might be construed by the capitalistic
thieves as meaning the practical reform
of change of systems. Be their motive
or opiate what it may, one thing is GER
tain, and that is, that there are several
labor papers which always crawl under
the skirts of th3 capitalistie press when
"radical" practical measures are ADVOCATED
by some wide-awake exponent of labors
rights and from their imagined strong
hold they snarl and snap, between the
growls and bites of the bloodhound,
like the small canine they are.
Now a trades union journal is all right
as long as it attends strictly to trades
union matters but the moment it breaks
loose with abuse upon any class which
advocates certain measures for the ben
eft of the producers and humanity at
large, it becomes an ally of oppression
and foe of the working classes.
l have no desire to rake up row with
the many labor papers which come to
me in exchange because they are not ad-
vocates of Socialism l simply pity their
editors and hope. If they are published
in the interest of advancing trade union
ism, they are engaged in a noble work
= and deserve to succeed. But when they
attack Socialism, they 60 beyond their
field, and attempt to build up a child's
playhouse by destroying a magnificent
and impenetrable fortress. 1t is some
thing like one cigarmakers' union at
tempting to bres k up another, only the
difference in the sentiments and objects
in the latter case is not so great as in the
former. .-.r
. The latest evidence Of this trait was
noticeable in the comments of the Pitts
burg Labor Herald upon the Cincinnati
trouble. The editor of that paper was
evidently between freeze and a sweat
when he wrote his editorial on the riot.
Heseems to want to convey theidea that
the riot was the result Of the outburst of
the pent-up indignation of an abused
and slandered people, but he is afraid
