laws permit one man to maui another into

brutal scene witnessed at Merriam Park
was not breach of the peace and gross

apolis and Winnipeg send their sluggers
out to invade st. Paul's municipal territory
to tarnish the good name of our city and
its reputation for orderly conduct by en-
gaging in an act of disgraceful brutality,
there ought to have been local pride
enough in the policemen to have
protected the good name and have
vindicated the honor of the city
whose guardians they are. The people OF
this city pay their policemen to discharge a
plain duty. and if they are incapable of per-
forming the duty required of them and for
which they are paid, ii is time that the city
was securing the services of others who are
capable of its performance. 1t is a duty
hat the mayor owes to himself and to the
people of this city whose confidence he en-
joys, to at once thoroughly investigate the
reasons why yesterdays prize fight was
permitted to occur within the city limits,
without interference from the police. And
it is also duty he owes to himself and the

LIABLE FOR DAMAGES.

The Iowa supreme court has decided that
a hotelkeeper who receives guests, knowing
that there is contagious disease III his
house, is liable to damages to any guest who
may contract the disease. A lady went to
a hotel and was taken down with small
pox. She caught the disease from guest
who was in the house when she went there.
The landlord knew that there was a case
of smallpox in his house when he admitted
the plaintiff. When the latter got well she
sued for $4,000 damages and obtained a
verdict 1t appeared that before going to
the hotel the plaintiff had heard a rumor
that there was smallpox there. The de-
PENDANT put in the plea that the plAntiff
was guilty of contributory negligence in
not making inquiry as to the truth of the
rumor. On this point the supreme court
says: ''By keeping his hotel open for bust
ness the landlord in effect represented to all
travellers that it was a reasonably safe place
at which to stop, and he is hardly in a posi-
ton now to insist that the plaintiff, who
accepted and acted on this representation
and was injured because of its untruth.
shall be precluded from recovering for the
injury on the ground that she might by fur
ther inquiry have learned of its falsity."
The court held that the plaintiff was enti-
tied to damages, not only for the physical
and mental suffering she endured while
sick, but also for the marks left by the dis

The Corney island rserby.

New YORK, June 21.-The following is
description Of the Coney Island Derby
race yesterday: Duffy, the California
Jockey, was determined not to be left on
Tyrant as in his last race He plunged
away FIVE times in false starts before the
flag dropped. Getting away in close run
ming order, Peakes set the music to quick
step on Brockwood, st. Augustine, Tyrant,
Heya and Joe Cotton pushing on in a dark
bunch, as named. Brockwood kept his
shoulders to the open, all being in the
above shape to the stand, half a mile from
the start. Entering on the even mile Brock
wood raced on the van, with ST. Augustine
at his neck, Tyrant and Joe
Cotton all tapping in the bunch.
On the turn for the back stretch Brockwood
pulled just clear of the pack, st. Augustine
second, Tyrant, Heya and Joe Cotton lap
ping. Brockwood remained in the van for
mile from the start, when Duffy called on
Tyrant and Immediately great shout arose
''Tyrant leads" Tyrant's reign was very
brief. Mclaughlin brought Joe Cotton
forward On the long turn to the home
stretch, when a louder Shout went up:
''Joe Cotton is in front; he will win" A
tough battle came on the home stretch,
Tyrant galloping neck and neck with Joe
to the last furlong, when Joe pulled ahead,
Mclaughlin sending him in a comparatively
easy winner, length ahead of Tyrant,
Broekwood third, st. Augustine fourth.

GOING TO PIECES.

The New York papers give the details OF
the meeting in that city last week of the
members of the American Wall Paper asso-
citation. This association has been the most
successful pool ever organized, but accord
ing to the reports of the New York papers
it is now torn by internal dissension,
which will probably lead to an early disco
luton. Organized in 1879, and embracing
all the leading manufacturers of the coun-
try, the American Wall Paper association
has been for the past six years the most
powerful and successful monopoly in Amer
lea. The fact that at the present time
there are but three manufacturers of wall
paper not members of the association shows
the absolute manner in which this organi-
cation controls the wall paper market. The
methods of the association. which have
been as follows, go to show the caSt-lron
rules by which its members were
bound: 'sPooling arrangements were
made for a year. To the general
pool fund each member contributed sum
of money as forfeit to the other members in
case he violated the agreement entered
into. This sum was apportioned to each
member, at first arbitrarily, later Oh the
basis of capital invested in business. Each
associate member was also required to de-
post with the commissioner a stipulated
sum, either in money or bonds, to insure
5his conforming to all the rules. A scale Of
prices for certain grades of goods, classified
from the finest of gold papers to the cheap
kitchen papers, was fixed, and a scale OF
discounts for the large purchasers in the
trade was arbitrarily made. At these figures
each member was bound to sell his goods
if he sold them at all. He could get prices
above the figures if he could; below them
he could not go. A similar scale was also
fixed for the trade and each dealer bound
himself by written contract not to sell be-
low the prices fixed by the pool The PEN
atty for the violation of the agreement was
prohibition from purchasing any goods made
by any member of the pool in the future or
until relieved from this ban by the associa-
ton. Protection as to card rates was thus
absolutely assured. Now as to the profits.
To the associations pool commissioner each
member made a report at stated periods Of
the goods manufactured, of the sales made
and Of the profits on the business during
he time covered by the report. The profits
went into common pool, and were divided
among the members, the division being
made pro rata On the basis of business
done, so that each member. whether he had
a successful year or not, was assured of
certain percentage OF profits based upon the
capital invested and the value of his output
in the previous year. With the renewal of
the pool on the LIST of July of each year
there was readjustment of percentages in
the division of profits for the coming
year"
The dispute has been as to the manner in
which the profits should be divided, and the
object of the present meeting is to agree if
possible on the division of profits for the
year beginning with the first of next
month.

VISION.

A pretty little story comes from Contra
Liza, in Illinois, in which woman's strange
hallucination leads to a peculiar sequel.
The wife of a prominent local lawyer,
whose home is picture of loneliness and
plenitude, had yearned for years to have
her heart filled with the sunshine of baby
love, but in. vain. After married life of
many years, which had been unmarried by
regret or displeaSure except the absence of
child to bless their union. the husband
and wife concluded to brighten up their
home by adopting baby girl if a suitable
one could be found. One night two years
ago, Mrs. CASEY, for that is the ladys
name, was visited by a sister-in-law In
the absence of the husband the two ladies
rOomed together and before going to sleep
chatted over the proposed adoption. When
the conversation was over Mrs. CASEY was
electrified by a vision of childish loneliness
at her side. A baby girl with large brown
eyes and auburn ringlets lay there smiling
and cooillg 9@and silently supplicat-
ing for goodnight kiss The lady
insensibly stopped over to caress the
beautiful vision and it vanished. Being
wide awake, very naturally the incident
made deep impression On her mind A
few days later stranger appeared at the
home of Mrs. CASEY bearing little girl in
his arms. He explained that he had heard
of the desire of the husband and wife to
adopt child and he had brought them
his only daughter, as he felt incompetent to
give her the advantages of cheerful home
and good education. which he was anxious
that she should have. From the moment
the stranger had entered the door. the lady
had been staring fixedly at the child in his
arms. There were the same brown eyes,
the auburn locks and the smiles of the
child she had seen in the vision. AS the
little one was placed On the floor by the
father the pent-up feelings Of the woman,
who had all these years longed for the pos
session of such precious jewel, gave way
to an uncomfortable rapture. s'This is my
child, I" she exclaimed as she folded the
baby to her arms. The baby returned the
kisses and caresses, and then Mrs. CASEY
explained the cause Of her emotion. The
adopted daughter was named VISION. That
was two years ago. 1t now transpires that
the adopted child is the great granddaughter
of Commodore OLIVER PERRY, the illus
triOuS naval hero.

Monopoly of Dsssilleries.

OTTAWA, Ont, June 21.-A memoran-
dunn has been received here by members of
the federal parliament protesting against
some of the provisions of the act to amend
the consolidated inland revenue act of
1888. One of the clauses of the bill in
question is as follows: after the 1st of
July, 1887, no spirits subject to excise shall
be entered for consumption which have not
been manufactured for at least twelve
months, and after the 1st day of July, 1890,
no such spirits shall be entered for con-
sumption which have not been manufac-
tured for at least two years" The memo
randum holds that this provision. if ac-
copied, would render it impossible in the
whole dominion to start a new distilIery.
and those actually in existence would
have a complete and protected
monopoly as a new establishment, unless it
could command an enormous capital, could
not enter on the fabrication of spirits If it
should not get back some of its disburse-
nients, which are always heavy before two
years. There are, it is said, only five dis
tilleries in Canada. all in the province of
Ontario and in 1879 pool was established
with a view to determine uniform prices
for each Of their products, which are about
rs per cent. above those asked in other
countries, where labor and raw material are
just as costly as in Canada. It is also said
that in the province of Quebec some capi-
talists are ready not later than next year to
break up the monopoly on the Ontario dis
tilleries, provided such legislation as this
does not fetter them in their project

GOING TO SHUT DOWN.

It is announced that after the first OF
next month Mr.. CLEVELAND and his cabi-
net officers will decline to receive personal
visits from office-seekers or their friends.
This is an innovation on long established
methods, and there may be some doubt
whether the president and his cabinet will
find it practicable to enforce the plan they
have adopted. It will meet with violent
opposition from the professional politicians,
and they may raise such all cutlery against
it that the president will be compelled to
abandon it. And yet there is no reason
why the mass of the people should not up
hold Mr.. CLEVELAND in this determination.
1t is impossible for the heads of the execu-
tive departments to attend decently to the
more serious business of the government
when they are compelled to give
up chief part of their time
and energy to considering the claims
of ofiice-seekers. The continual inn

CHICAGO, June 21.--Since his meeting
with John H., Jack Burke has continued in
training in the driving park just as hemight

Ject in so doing Is to maintain his present
perfect condition, SO that he may enjoy

Mitchell arrived from San Francisco to-day,

the Irish lad, Il have faced lots OF good
ones, both in this country and England, but
not one of them can compare in any way
with the champion. | have heard it said
that he is not clever; that it is only his i'm
mense weight and power that enable him to
rush his men down. Now, say that Sulli-
van is as clever with his hands and head
and as quick upon his feet as any sparrer in
the country to-day. He is not
only powerful but his guard is fine, and it
takes a man who has acquired deal of
skill in the business to stop or get away
from his blows. Ordinary tactics will not
do with Sullivan; he knows them all and
seems to anticipate them, and blow which
would send another man to grass only
brings a smile to the champions lips. 1t is
a wicked smile, though, and one that made
me a bit nervous when saw it light up his
eyes after I had hit him several times in the

ANOTHER PRIZE FIGHT.

1t will doubtless be matter of surprise
to our vigilant police authorities when they
read in the GLOBE this morning an account
of the brutal prize fight at Merriam Park
yesterday afternoon. 1t is very singular
fact that prize fight is one thing police
man never gets track of until it is over and
all the principals and their abettors are
safely out of the way. When a smuggling
match is to take place everybody else that
cares to know anything about it generally
hears of 1t. The sporting men always man
age to hear of it in time to make up their
pools The newspaper reporters never fail
to get wind of it in time to be on the ground
and secure full and accurate reports. But
from some mysterious cause it almost inva-
fiably occurs that the police are
stricken with peculiar paralysis of all the
senses just about the time the mill is to
GENE Off They can neither see nor hear
nor smell anything until it is all over.
1t may possibly be alleged in extenuation
of the dereliction of ST. Paul's police au-
thorittes in regard to yesterdays fight that
there is 10 state law to punish prize fight
ing. It cannot be said, however, that the

BLEEDING IRELAND.

The United Ireland gives a gloomy ac-
count of the present industrial condition of
Ireland and still glOomier forecast of
what it is to be unless radical change
takes place In the near future. Blank stag
nation is staring everybody in the face. A
settled feeling of despair seems to have pos
sessed the people And yet the English
government continues to impose upon them
frightful burthen of taxation. 1t is not
surprising that the PARNELL party in par
lament was willing to form any sort of a
coalition whereby they might secure relief
for Ireland. 1t was the drowning mans
clutch at straw when they formed an al
lance with the Tories and it is possible that
their hope in that direction is to be doomed
to as severe a disappointment as it was in
the GLADSTONE administration. The

bare life will soon have to be made in Ire

merely mended before there can be much

different harvest, the judicial rents will
collapse all in heap the next Noyem-
Der gale, and cannot be paid in any
event beyond next May. if the present prices
for Irish staples of produce do not grow
better (and they may very easily grow
worse). Irish industry is being bled to
death through every artery. Think of it!

of it at least to abselitees who never return

on another three-quarters of a million, as
Irelands share of the war credit to be spilled
out on the steppes of Turcomania in fight

more poured out in buying English goods,
