pUGILIsM AND BICYCLING.


The sports are excited over the meeting
of Jack Keefe and Mart Fahey, which is to
take place within twenty-four hours at
some place not yet generally known. AS
it is understood that the match is for suf-
ticient number of rounds to warrant de-
csion that cannot be questioned, the inter
est is cores pondingly great. Keefe has
improved "a weight and science since his
appearance here, and Fahey is known to be
a hard hitter, with extraordinary staying
powers. 1t is likely that the contest will
be witnessed by a select party, which will
not exceed fifty in number.

The latest fad among the lovers of pugil-
ism is the holding of room contests between
the colored boxers who are willing to
scrap for purse Thus far the contests
have created more fun than excitement,
owing to the lack of science of the men.

his victory, and are confident he will repeat

around a distinguished legislator:

There can be no question that boycottiug

invented and practiced. 1t can never be
defended except when resorted to in the

Recently, in Virginia, when the Typo

declared a boycott against q firm Of job
printers, and proceeded also to boycott
everyone who dealt with this firm, the
Bourbon fogles met I'm solemn conclave and
pronounced an awful rebuke upon the

laughed "consumedly." Why9 Because

Now the boycott In Virginia against tax
receivable coupons and all who use them is
noisily proceeding under legislative and
executive Bourbon sanction and command.
That 1t is, to a large extent, an imposture
and deceit only renders 1t doubly VILE
There are hypocrites who
compound for sins they arc Inclined to,
BY damning those they have no mind to-
but the Bourbon boycotters OF coupons are
frauds of that mo re despicable kind, who
like Angelo In "Measure for Measure, wei
their own special iniquity by their fierce
ness against it in others. For these very
Bourbons are the original "coupon scalp
ers" They are the men to-day who almost
alone are engaged In coupon speculation,
in coupon taxpaying, and in the yirtuous
effort to cheat the state, the bond
holders, and their fellow-citizens with
exalted impartiality. In fact, 1t was
proved at the time that over
half of the "resolutersn in Richmond, who
proclaimed the initial boycott against the
coupons, were at that moment suing the
state to compel her to receive the de-
IouncGd coupons. And now, while these
Bourbon boycotters are publicly "bearng"
the coupons all over the state, at county.
court and crossroads meetings, they are
privately providing themselves with the
deprecated taX-receiyables, either TO pay
taxes or for speculative purposes. An
honest boycott, though mistaken, is bad
enough, but dishonest one like this Is
worse even than tho cry OF 'stop thief!n
from the pursued rogue, and is compara-
BILE only to the deliberate perjury OF the
informer, who seeks to bring the penalties
Of his own crimesupon the innocent.
Whether Virginia taxpayers should pay
their taxes In coupons or not, Is question
to be decided by everyone Of them for him
self His right 10 do so Is certain. But 1t
is equally certain that IL is wrong TO boy
colt hlm-eQually wrong-whether he shall
decide to pay IN money or in coupons. The
boycott, indeed, is wrong even when en-
ployed for the right and the truth; yet we
could forgive much to tiff It were now en-
| ployed wlselyin Virginia against that De-
mocracy which treacherously threatens that
state with worse evils than can arise from
any amount of coupon dealing, The coupon
boycott is In behalf Of reputation; the
Democracy boycott suggested here would
be against the party aud its lead
els that are repudiatlng their pledges

bill, protection, and the Internal revenue
system. Here, indeed, Is. a case for right
eous boycottlng, II ever there were or
