SCHOOLS FOR PUGILISTIC
TRAINING.

Every one cannot help to have
noticed the increasing frequency OF
newspaper accounts of pugilistic con.
tests, often properly called prize fights
Now comes the suggestion of training
schools in the science of boxing, or, in
more mild terms, the art of attack and
defense; or of assault and resistance
The merit claimed for this exercise is,
that it aids physical development. The
first beginning in the boxing matches
is with soft gloves, next hard gloves,
and then naked fists. The first of
these encounters may not do much
bodily injury, the second is more likely
to do serious hurt, but the last has
been known to cripple and disable for
life, when it reaches its legitimate
end, the prize fight. There is no ex-
cuse for this kind of physical training;
it is only for the qualification of a
brutal taste. The gymnasium affords
every advantage for physical develop
meLt. But, judging from some Of the
complaiscent notices in respectable
papers Of boxing matches, it will not
be strange if we soon hear Of boxing
schools in which will be taught the
different ways Of knocking daylight
out of competitor.

GAS IN THE ASCENDANT.

Wonderful discoveries have been
recently made of gas. About seventy
miles from Chicago. in Indiana, q gas
well has been sunk, from which the
fluid ruslles up fifteen feet into the air
with the noise of a railroad train, and
lighting the skies for miles around.
The accounts of this late discovery If
true, are almost marvellous. Other
wells besides the one here mentioned
have recently been discovered, some it is
said near Chicago. and it is stated that
companies have already been projected
to bring the gas in pipes to light the
city. There is now likely to be rage
for gas discoveries, such as has not
been witnessed before. There may be
expected to follow the illuminating
benefits of gas, the much greater bless
ing for the poor, cheaper heating
agency. The people, however, would
do we'll to wait patiently, and not
hastily jump to conclusions.

ELECTRIC LIGHT.

The project for supplying the city
with electric light, which was much
discussed q short time ago, we under
stand, is not abandoned. but is still
agitated. The TELEGRAPH has for
years been in favor Of lighted streets
by some kind of illuminating method.
There are nights when a tallow candle
would be preferable to no light at all
to keep the pedestrian from stumbling
ON dilapidated sidewalk. Indeed, it
might save the city from ronnd bill
for damages and costs. What is the
most economic, and yet the best plan
for lighting the city. we leave to those
who have investigated and studied the
subject. But all agree that electricity
is the modern luxury for lighting cities,
and comes nearer an equivalent for
daylight than any yet introduced.
Whether the people of the city are
prepared to incur the expense of that
luxury is now the question of debate
But we say, Gentlemen of the Coun.
Gil, city fathers, give US the needed
light of some sort. whether it be cleo.
trio, gas, oil, or tall0w."

FARMERS INSTITUTE.

1t is perhaps unnecessary to remind
the farmers in the country towns of
the Institute to be held in this city on
the 10th and 18th of February, inst.
The reports of the meetings which are
being held each week in various parts
OF the state are highly encouraging,
and evidently profitable to those who
participate in them. These Institutes
are educational schools, in which none
are too old to be learners. Some peo-
pie may smile doubtingly at the re-
mark that the science of agriculture is
still in its infancy. Probably no
farmer who has attended the Institutes
in this state has failed to receive some
useful knowledge in the line of his
occupation. The offer of free enter
tainment for those who attend the
meetings from the neighboring towns
will no doubt be satisfact orily met.

STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY.

The thirty-fifth annual report Of the
Wisconsin State Historical Society has
been received at this Office. This So
ciety is in a fourishing condition, hay
ing steadily grown from small begin
nings to its present Importance, ard is
now unsurpassed by few. If any, inssi.
tutions of the kind in the United States
We recollect our first visit to the So
ciety when it occupied a small room in
the second story of an indifferent-look-
ing building, under the supervision of
that indefatigable historical worker
Lyman c. Draper. The interests of
the society were pressed forward by
Mr.. Draper, under unfavorable circum-
stances. For long time the collec.
tons Of the society were kept in a
basement room in the Baptist church.
When the new state capital was com.
pleted, the society was assigned fire.
proof and convenient quarters in that
building.

FICTION OR FACT.

AT the regular weekly Methodist
ministers meeting on Monday last, in
Chicago. Rev. DR.. Stow stated that
during the year $4,000 volumes had
been drawn out of the library at Evan
ston, of which number $4,000 were
books of fiction. DIR. Stow spoke of
this as fearful evil. 1t is not easy to
define what really constitutes fictitious
literature. Some of the now most
sought-for books, written by the best
authors and intended to impress sound
moral principles, abound in impressive
incidents and events which never had
any existence in fact, but are only the
productions of refined imagination.
Shall this kind of literature be classed
fiction? What is the line of distinc-
ton, and on which side shall the larger
proportion of the popular magazine
literature be classed?

The report of the Chicago Young
Mems Christian Association for the
year 1887, aside from its religious in.
terests, shows the important work &C.
complished. 1t has greatly enlarged
its field of operations during the year.
In the line of physical culture, which
has become a popular branch, the
average daily attendance engaged in
gymnastic exercise was 400, or 167, 1893
for the year. 1t has procured work fol
nearly 5000 persons who were anxious
for employment. This has been done
free of cost to the applicants for work.
The advantages which the Association
have furnished to all classes, and es.
peeially to young men, cannot we'll be
stimated.
The Association in this city, al.
though comparatively on small scale
has not been without its good effects
and If it only had the equipments
necessary its benefits would be more
widely felt.

REBELDOM AT A PREMIUM.
When Lamar took his seat on the
bench of the Supreme Court a few
weeks ago he had to be excused from
taking the regular oath which is pre-
scribed for United States officers, and
took the modified OATH" He could
not swear that he had never borne
arms against the United States, nor
given aid or counsel to those hostile
thereto" He is an oath-breaker; he
took the oath before the rebellion, as
an officer of the United States, to sup
port the government; he violated that
oath and took another to support the
confederacy, and was subsequently
compelled to relinquish his support Of
the confederacy. comes back and takes
a halfway oath to support the Union
he had discarded. Worst of all is, he
is now on the bench of the Supreme
Court, to construe the laws Of the
Union he once repudiated.

UTAH WILL NOT BE ADMITTED

UTAH WILL NOT BE ADMITTED
1t is now quite well settled that
there will be no attempt with any hope
of success in Congress to admit Utah
into the Union as an independent State
during the present session. It is true
Utah has the required number of in.
habitants for State in the Union; ii
is also true that the people of Utah
have framed constitution which for.
ever prohibits polygamy under severe
penalties. While Utah has sufficient
population in number to become a
State, the general character of its in.
habitants is not such as the people OF
other states care to be affiliated with.
They have not been attracted to our
shores by free institute ons. but have
been summoned here by superstitious
Ipretenders who claim supreme allegi.
Iance from all who come into their
ranks. A vast majority Of the people
of Utah are un-Americanized foreign
ers. Their adoption of constitution
forever prohibiting polygamy furnish
es no security that polygamy will not
still be practiced. Constitutions and
laws do not inforce themselves; they
require a healthful public opinion.
Laws prohibiting the sale of intoxi-
eating liquors are of no effect when
the sentiment Of the people does not
favor their enforcement.

DAKOTA.

Dakota seems destined to be kept
out of the union Of states for reasons
differing only a little from those which
kept Kansas out for a number of
years, because Kansas was resolved to
come in as a free state, without the

kota has long had the required mum.
Der of inhabitants for admission, but
it is kept out because it is sure to add
another Republican state to the Union.
The House of Representatives appears
resolved to keep Dakota out until
after the next Presidential election.
