We sincerely regret that Mr.. Jake Kilrain
did not wipe up about half the state of
Mississippi with Mr.. John Sullivan on yes
terday.
We do not mind saying--at this distance
that Mr.. Sullivan is about the unlovliest
person in sacred or profane history-a more
sodden brute--a duller or more sensual
human-we are not at this writing able to
summon from any written page. 1t is not
often that man WINS the worlds champion
ship in any department. however debased,
without carrying to his imminent height
something of the worlds regard and en-
thusiasm. But Mr. Sullivan has not suo-
ceeded in doing this. Where one man-not a
better--wished him success in yesterdays
BATTLE there were thousand who hoped
that Kilrain would literally jar the earth
with him. MIR. Sullivan's record the day be-
fore the ight--of eating three chickens, a
hunk Of beef, several pots Of vegetables, and
then falling asleep while he was being
shaved, gives some idea of the sort of human
anaconda he is. We repeat our regrets that
he was not smashed and mangled at Rich's
mills on yesterday
OF course, these remarks are written on
the presumption that Mr.. Sullivan wili carry

Emgrants TO Brazil are warned by the ex-
perience reported of those from Great Brit
ain. Up 10 now the failure OF British immi-
grafton in Brazil has been appalling. Cana
nea had ut one time 450 British colonists,
whose Survivors left in despair in 1878. There
are now only three British families there in
the forest without any road in any direction.
Assunguy, which is only sixty miles from
Curitiba, the capital of Parana, has only
about one hundred British colonists out of
nearly one thousand who were planted there
some twenty years ago, the remainder hav
ing all died, or, like those at Cananea, having
been transported back to England and Ire
land at the public expense, and in the utmost
misery and degradation. Even to-day no
sort of roads for carts have been made to AS
sunguy from anywhere, although the hard
working Central Immigration society MADE
special request In the name of the residue Of
the colonists at Assunguy as lately as May,
1888. Although Italians are supposed to
Withstand the climate better, there has been
perfect blight upon italian immigration
children during 1888 in the province Of Sac
Paulo.
King ia ia, the African potentate who is
now prisoner in the West Indies, applied to
the British government recently for perms-
sion to come to England on the ground that
his health was ponr and he needed change
OF air. Thereupon the government had two
physicians in st. Vincent examine the distin-
| guished exile, and they reported that he was
suffering merely from advanced age and
inconsistencies. As he finds st. Vincent mo-
| notonous, however, it is likely that ia ia
will be permitted to change his residence.
Perhaps it will cheer the old fellow little
| to learn that race horse out west has been
| honored with his name and that there is
nothing slow about hun, in which respect he
resembles the original ia ia in his palmy
days when he was an untrammelled despot.

THE secretary OF agriculture has just
established a new division in his depart
ment charged with the duty of editing
the reports and bulletins issued by the
various divisions of the agricultural
bureau. Much complaint has been found
with the majority OF the publications
issued from this department due to the
fact that they have largely been pre-
pared by scientific men for scientific
eyes. In consequence, much that was
valuable and intended for the general
public has been misdirected. Secretary
Rusk has very properly determined
that as the agricultural department was
created primarily for the benefit Of the
farmers OF the country, the various
bulletins should be prepared in the
plainest possible language 80 that every
man who reads them could understand
their purport. The new secretary OF
agriculture understands his business
and intends to make his department
something more than an experimental
station for the entertainment OF scien-
tihc gentlemen with pet hobbies and
theories.

THERE can be little doubt but that
drought is severely Affecting portions
of Dakota and Montana. Depending,
as greater part of this country does,
on irrigation, the situation is critical
when it is remembered that little snow
fell in the mountains last winter, and
in consequence the streams and rivers
are drying out and disappearing Both
farmers and stockmen are feeling the
effects of this condition. Water is
needed for cattle and fears are enter
tained that unless the dry spell is soon
broken stock will suffer severely. There
is yet time for new growth Of grass
and with sufficient rains stock can be
put in fair condition for the coming
winter. The prospects, however, look
dubious at present.

known os Byler and Thompson.
Judge Hopewell made some inquiries
and learned that they had been en-
ployed by Miss Marsh's brother-in- law,
William Elerslck, who was himself once
arrested for having committed the crime.
The Judge also talked with her and learned
that she knew nothing about these men, had
never employed them and was not possessed
of means to employ counsel During the
noon recess Judge Hopewoll consulted his as
sociates, stated the situation and they agroed
that under the circumstances he was legally
justified in ignoring talent hired by Eller-
sick and appointing an attorney TO tako
charge OF the girls case.
The chief ground upon which this action
was based is the fact that TO acquit ncr IT
may bo necessary TO convict Ellersick,
,is and the court concluded SutUSa,, she h,,
lawyers under obligation to Ellersick for
their pay. Accordingly tho Judge appointed
w. 5. Strawn TO take charge OF her interests.
Bylcr and Thompson, of course, entered
protest. Two days later, they went TO
Sheriff Coburn and asked for admission TO
Lena Marshs cell TO consult with her. The
sheriff refused the request. Then they ap-
piled TO the supreme court for writ OF man
damus compelling MIR. Coburn TO admit them
to the Jail In the application, they stated
that the defendant had employed them per-
sonally and that the sheriff had refused TO
let them consult with their client. They also
presented a copy Of Judge Hopewelps order,

ment of facts. The affidavit of Mrs. Eller-
sick In which she says under oath that she
had talked with Lena since Judge Hopewell's
action and from her learned that she en-
ployed Byler and Thompson, and
wanted them to defend her, was
likewise laid before the supreme Judges,
Sheriff Coburn SAYS that this aflidavit Is a
tissue of falsehoods. Mrs. Ellersick has
not, he declares, been permitted to talk with
the prisoner but once since Judge Hopewell's
order was made and that time the case was
not mentioned. One of the Jail officers was
with them every minute they were together,
under instructions to prevent them saying
anything about the case. They were not
permitted to converse in German.
Strawn was before tho supreme court Thurs
day, when Byler and Thompson submitted
their arguments, and says that when he left.
long after they departed, no writ had been
granted. To fully test the matter, however,
and get q hearing from the other side,
the sheriff will be called on to show cause.

''Our proposition Is still with the city
council" says William Wallace, when asked
whether there was anything new in the eff
fort to sell, for market house purposes, the
exposition building. "rhat body, 80 far as
know, is working on it. There is no means
of knowing or finding out when we will get
report. If the city want market house
she cannot do better than take that building,
because il will answer the purpose admir-
ably, and never again will an opportunity be
offered to get one as cheap"
In Its present condiLion, according to Mr.
Wallace, the Grand opera house will always
be an expense to its owners, and that IS the
reason, it is asserted, they are anxious to get
rid of it. The theater ran $1,000 behind on
last seasons business.
MIR. Wallace says also that if they succeed
in selling the building neither Mr.. Craw-
ford's contract nor anything else will stand
in the way OF Its being turned over at once.

THE MILWAUKEE ENCAMPMENT.

The projected annual encampment OF
the Grand Army OF the Republic at
Milwaukee has been abandoned. Only
delegates from the various posts, to the
number of about nine hundred. will go
to that city, whereas it was expected
that the encampment this year would
be one OF the largest ever held, draw
ing together perhaps not less that two
hundred thousand veterans.
The abandonment OF the eucampment
is due to the refusal Of the railroads
TO give the members OF the
G.. A. r. one-cent fare. The
roads offered to carry tho veterans at
one fare for the round trip, and all APP
peals failed to induce them to modify
this offer. In view of the fact that q
one cent rate or less had recently been
given by the railroads to other organ
izations, the Department. commanders re-
garded the refusal OF equally favorable
terms TO the veterans as an unjust dis
elimination, and they unanimously de-
eided TO give up the annual encamp-
ment and con fine the Milwaukee meet
ing of old soldiers to the dele
gates from the G. A. r.. posts. They
advise all other members OF the or
ganization not to go TO Milwaukee. as n
matter OF self-respect and self-defense,
and recommend county and district re-
unions throughout the various depart-
ments.
This action will undoubtedly be gen.
orally approved by the members of the
Grand Army. Thousands OF them who
were counting upon the pleasure of a
reunion with old comrades will, OF
course, be disappointed, but they will
cheerfully accept the plain duty
OF resenting the illiberal and
discriminating action of the rail-
roads. Unquestionably the managers
of the roads counted upon the devotion
of the veterans to their organization,
and their loyalty to the friendships of
the camp and the march, to insure n
large attendance at the encampmen t
under any conditions of unjust dis Grim
ination. 1t is necessary and important
that these managers learn that the old
soldiers, still keeping fresh and strong
luGlT ducCIlOu lOE bllClE otoCl uho AVA
comrades, can sacrifice the pleasures OF
reunion rather than submit to what
they regard as deliberate discrimina-
tion against them. The real
loss in this matter will fall on
the railroads. The abandonment of
the encampment means several hun
dred thousand dollars less for the cof-
fers of the corporations. The Grand
Army organization will not suffer, and
the pleasures of a reunion which the
thousands of veterans who would have
attended the encampment will miss
will not be lost, but simply postponed.
Every member of the Grand Army not a
delegate should respect the advice of
the department commanders to stay
away from Milwaukee. They owe it to
the order and to themselves, and the
effect will be to secure them fairer and
more liberal consideration in future.

OTHER LANDS THAN OURS.

The apprehension of cabinet changes in
France, growing out of charges made against
TWO members of the government being par
ties to corrupt practices, appears to have
passed. There have been SO many ministerial
crises in France that they have ceased to
attract any great amount of attention. This
cabinet has been changed and remodeled so
often that people have come 10 think that IL
makes but little difference who holds cab
inet position, so long as the president re-
mains unchanged. No one, unless he be a
very close student OF French politics, can
keep up with the frequent changes in the
ministry. Sometimes the whole cabinet goes
out, and sometimes only portion of it, but
matters seem to go ON about tue same, and
the cry Of "wolf' has lost its efficacy.

Is not love for athletics, as the practice of
athletic sports is as distinct from profess
sional pugiism as day is from night, and the
patrons OF prize fights are generally in their
own persons the least athletic of mortals. 1t
is the same taste which enjoyed the gladia-
torial combats in ancient times, which loved
bear batting in the medieval periods, and
which glores in dog fights and bull fights at
the present day. 1t Is the streak of savagery
which occasionally breaks through the glass
of civilization, and however unfattering it
may be to our ideas of human progress it
must be accepted as fact.
