White, proprietor Of Whites Hotel, was the
plaintiff and he sued Jim McQuade for board
According to Matt, he had fed Jim to the

McQuade had offered him check for eigh
teen dollars and eighty cents, together with
receipt for one hundred forty three dollars

in the allegations contained in Barretts pc
tition, The answer denies that the illegal
votes mentioned by Barrett's petition were

Michael Monahan was declared insane on
Tuesday. When heard in his own behalf
Monahan stated that he knew he was insane
and wanted TO be taken TO an asylum. He
was first attacked in 1887, sometime after
the memorable murder of that year, and his
fellow workmen prosecuting him on the
supposition that he was a detective, caused
the uubalancing of his mind. He was
taken to Elgen and in year had recovered
his mental balance. The cause of the pres
ent attack was due to an accident, his head
being injured. He feared he would be
killed by what he calls "Molly McGuires-"
He will be sent to the North ern Hospital at
Elgin.
A man named Todd, of La Sale, will be
brought up by Sheriff Morrissey this morn
ing, and an examination made into his men,
tai capabilities. He is alleged to be violently
insane and dangerous.

THE fight is over and the moralists are
preaching. But the moralists, one AMI
all, have read the accounts and where
they have not. the papers have still not
lacked readers, for as Lincoln said, there
s'is great deal Of human nature lying
about loose. Condemn this fight, as we
may and rs we do, we are all eager tc
know the result The partisan Republi.
can press accept the fight as an oppor-
tunity TO administer sickly and
sycophantic advice and criticism to the
Southern people. They never let an op
portunity pass for that sort Of Pecksniff
ian foolishness. II makes no difference
to them that Sullivan. Kilrain and all OF
their hackers and abettors, together with
the sentiment which makes them fight, are
the products Of the North. The South
does not need stringent laws against
prize-fghting, because the prize-6ghting
rowdies are not products Of Southern
civilization and the South is in no way
responsible for them.

treats ]. Edwards Addieks unfairly. In
his case. as in almost every other matter,
the Every Evening appears to be moved
by secret springs Of sympathy or malice,
which prevent calm judgment concern

The Every Evening, on the contrary.
continues the war on Mr. Addicks with
out alleging any other crime than that he
proposes to come here and establish a
rival gas works, and possibly depress the
stock Of the old gas company by reducing
the price Of gas to consumers.
1t seems a contest between two
monopolies It is possible that
Mr.. Addicks may acquire control OF
the old company and allow the new com.
pany to sink into imperative insigni6.
cance while he puts up the price Of gas.
But there is no assurance that the old
company viii not buy the new and do the
same thing. The history Of the old com
pany is not the history Of q charitable
institution by any means. The old com.
pany has made money enough to retire
and give the works to the poor of the
city and still have large per centage Of
profit.
In short. Mr.. Addicks has charter
legitimate in itself and legitimately ac
quired. 50 far as appears, and why he
should not use it is what the Ever,
