THE love of distinction is the ruling
passion of the human mind; we grudge
whatever draws off attention from our
selves to others; and all our actions
are but different contrivances, either
by sheer malice or affected liberality,
TO keep it to ourselves or share il with

Burke.Mitchell Sparring Match.
Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, June 2S.-Jack Burke, the
Irish lad, and Charlie Mitchell each claims
the championship of England. The two
are to meet in this city tomorrow evening
and spar six rounds, Queensberry. Which
ever proves himself the better man tO-mor-
row night will well establish the merit Of
his claim, though the championship is not
formally dependent on the result. Mitchell
has the reputation of being one Of the most
scientific boxers that ever entered the
twenty-fOur-foot ring. Clever is the only
term that aptly describes him and he is re-
puted to have in the highest de-
gree all the clean-hitting, science,
skill, Judgment, cool-headedness, activity
and hard, sound sense. 1t is pretty hard
matter to ''rattle'' him. What Jack Burke
is every Chicago lover of sport knows with
out telling. He has never been whipped,
except that John L. Sullivan bested him,
and he has faced such men as Mitchell,
Greenfield, Dalton, Barnes and Others. In
height, weight and build the two men are
almost of the same mold, and even in age
there is but little difference. All things
considered, the match tomorrow night
ought to be one of the best that has ever
been seen in Chicago. Undoubtedly there
will be large crowd in attendance. Jack
Burke came in from his training quarters
to-day, and will make his headquarters at
''Parson" Davies" Both men are in good
shape, and have done some hard work the

IN HIS POCKET,
Civil Service a Fraud.

Congressman Hill of Ohio, in which, among
other things, Mr.. Hill is quoted as saying
that the Democrats of Ohio are opposed to
the civil service law almost to man; that
they regard it as fraud on the public, and
that they believe in the rights of the people
to change every officer in the government
in the time prescribed by the constitution.
He said he did not know whether or not an
effort would be made to repeal the civil
service law at the next session, but if there
is he will vote to repeal it the first opportu-
nifty he gets. He said he had heard many
Democratic members of congress say they
would not vote dollar to pay the expenses
of the commission, and he felt that way

Imprisoned for Polygamy.

Spec1al TO Cne OlOpe.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, June 2S.-The
opinion of the supreme court of the terri
tory in an appeal in the case of Cannon and
Mussey, who are serving terms in the pen
itentiary for polygamy, crushes the last
hope of the plural-wived elders. In the
lower court Chief Justice Zane held all that
was necessary to establish unlawful cOhab-
itation under the Edmunds law was proof
that the man occupies the same house with
two women whom he held out
as wives, though no marriage ceremony
had ever been performed and there had been
no actual cohabitation. Zane refused to ad
nit testimony that Cannon and Mussey had
lived with but one of their wives since the
passage of the Edmunds law. The supreme
court sustained the chief justice in every
particular, and as cases of unlawful CO.
habitation cannot be carried beyond this
court the prisoners have no chance of es-
cape left except to flee. There were half
a dozen arrests on indictments to-day, among
them John Nicholson, editor of the News,
the Mormon organ. Penfose, the previous
editor, was indicted last winter, but eluded
the officers and is now'in England.

BETTER AGAIN.
Gen. Grant Passes a Good Night and
Feels Refreshed.

MT. MCGREGoR, n. Y, June 2S.-Gen.
Grant has usually received six minims of
morphine upon retiring at night. During
Saturday night the usual amount was adj
ministered, but it was given in two por-
tions at different times. The hyperdermic
contains only three drops, and this, as
was the purpose neutralized pain and
permitted the patient to doze and
rest easy until about o'clock. The
remaining three drops of the usual
nightly allowance was then administered
and sleep ensued. 1t is the purpose of the
physicians in giving the nightly allowance
of morphine to secure quiet with the first
half and to quiet sleep by aid OF the second
half. After an interval of some hours the
result confirmed the Judgment that
prompted the change, and was best stated
by the general about II o'clock to-day, when
he wrote as follows: 81 have had the best
night have had for many weeks. From

doctor believed his patient was stronger to-

voice was so clear that the doctor had from
his room heard the general talking with his
nurse. and at II o'clock to-day
it was quite audible. About o'clock
the patient appeared on the piazza. The
rain had ceased and the sun broke through
the clouds. Through the afternoon Gen.
Grant was out of doors nearly two hours,
but went inside the cottage when the rain

NEW YORK, June 2S.-The question of
the reorganization of Tammany hall is
matter which exercises the elements of the
Democratic party. John Kelly's continued
indisposition has caused a feeling of un-
certainty throughout the rank and file of
the adherents to the wigwam in Fourteenth
street and there is a remarkable disposition
to dethrone the old leader. The reports
circulated recently that Mr.. Kelly's mental
capacity had been strained through
overwork and that the proba-
bilities are that he will not be
in a position to resume the leadership
of Tammany hall, have caused good deal
of discussion, particularly since not a
move has been made of late by the Tamma-
nyites toward making any arrangement for
the gubernatorial contest Police Justice
German, treasurer of Tammany hall, this

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-A friend of
Mr.. Blaine writes the following: ''Mr.
Blaine has gone to finish the work on his
book in the quiet of his Augusta home. He
had hoped to go abroad this summer, but
he will hardly be able to complete his book
in time There is considerable talk heard
about his returning to political life. 1t is
well understood that he can return to the
senate or the lower house within two years,
if he chooses, and if he intends to remain
in the public view it is more
than likely that he will accept a
seat in congress after his literary task has
been completed. Hale or Congressman
Milliken would retire to give place to Mr..
Blaine if he should desire to return to the
active duties of the house or senate. Hale
could become governor, but Frye would not
yield unless compelled to. There is gen.
eral feeling here that the matter can be ar
ranged to accommode all the statesmen.
There is also belief that while Mr.. Blaine
may go back into public life for few years,
he will not permit himself to be again
