HAMLET. NOT HAMLIN.

The Chicago Inter Ocean credits the
soliloquy, s'To be or not to be, - to Han
nibal Hamlin of Maine. 1t was Hamlet
Of Denmark, neighbor. The names are
somewhat similar, but you ought to
know better than to make such mis-
that aspIres to be the center of
literature and lard should be care
full about such things The remark
was made by Col. Hamlet good many
years ago, when the Maine man was
quite small boy. and had not acquired
the habit of going through the cold
winter weather arrayed in linen buster.
Col. Hamlet was a moody, morose fell
low, who had formed the habit of con-
versing with himself, and he made the
remark quoted above short time before
jobbing his sword through the body of
Gen. Polonious, "a tiresome old bloke who
used the most of his time in back
Gaping the colonel and getting
off bad puns. w. Shakespeare, the
historian, " no seemed to have mash
on Col. Hamlet, and thought everything
he said smart, overheard the 'sTo be or
not to be'' business and embodied it in
the biography of Hamlet which he was
then writing. The story Is right good
thing, and we would advise our
Chicago contemporary to read it. Any
body who has real fst-class
library will loan it to the ed
itor. Col. Hamlet soon atterward be-
came engaged in a fight and died with
his boots on. But he was something of
a killer himself, and sent one or two
representatives. ahead of him when he
went over the range.

looms there than IN any city of the same
size in the world, and more ice cream is
eaten there More than seven thousand
is the carefully estimated lumber of
ice cream saloons there, and last
year the wholesale factories made 400 900
quarts of the cold sweetness, and then
there was vast deal besides shipped in

price, and the saucer contains about
twice as much as the average saucer in

sentiment. If the crime was practiced
by it-and there is good reason to fear it
was-it was practiced secretly. The Re-
publican leaders Haunted their corrupt
practices in the eyes of the country
They systematized the crime of Drostitut-
ing the ballot, of buying up voters, OF
trying the fat out of the manufac-
tnrers who were directly and pecuniary
interested in the party s success
which fat was to be used, and
was used, for the most corrupt
purposes. The manufacturers were not
appealed to TO contribute campaign funds
in order that the excellent principle of
protection should be maintained inyio-
late for the welfare of the country; but
they were told, with brutal bluntness,
that they must contribute IN order TO
serve their own pecunlary interests.
Never before in the history of parties or
of the country did the successful presi-
Dental candidate of party give one
high Office after another to men who had
no other claim to present above that of
any other citizen, except that they had
contributed, directly or indirectly,
large sum or sums to the campaign fund,
which was used to buy votes iu blocks of
five or 500. No matter how glorious the
history of the past of the Republic an

THE letter issued by F. B. Chiffon of
the Texas immigration bureau ''To All
Whom These Presents May Concern, -
was a doleful document. The reference
to the lack of support calls to mind the
fact that the bureau did not deserve sup
port. When the "bureau'' issued its
famous map little more than year
ago, filed as it was with misnformation
and showing such decided partially for
certain sections, it knocked the bottom
out of the whole scheme and convinced
the people that each section that wanted
immigration must rustic on its own hook.
Secretary Chilton's scolding circular
brings the mistakes of the bureau to
mind. Some things there are which
should be allowed to pass away with as
little notice as possible. The bureau
was one of them.

Another Sensible Southern Governor.


Governor Nichols of Louisiana and
Governor Lowry of Mississippi are build
ing for their states far better than they
know in issuing proclamqtions forbidding
Sullivan and KiIrain to fight a prize
fight, in violation of the laws of those
states. Governor Lowry goes further
than Governor Nichols, and offers a re-
ward for the apprehension of the two
chief ruffians. But neither governor
goes far enough in the important step of
preventing an ayowed and deliberate
purpose to violate the laws The
avowal of the prize fighters to commit
the crime is sufficient for the prompt
action of the governors. Each
should have force of militia ready,
strong enough to take the principals in
custody the moment they set foot in his
state. These men leave this state to avoid
the consequences of their premeditated
crime, and travel 1000 miles through
other states, which will not tolerate
them, in order to commit crime in a
state whose laws they suppose will not be
enforced. The intent to offend is clear
The prevention of the crime IS therefore
imperative upon the governors. The
credit of the state in which they intend
to commit crime largely depends upon
the prompt arrest of the two principals
and the dispersion of their followers the
moment they come within the jurisdic-
ton of the state.

JAKE KILRAIN, TO FIGHT SULLIVAN. s.
Jake Kilrain 5 right name is J ohm JeS
seph KilIion, and he was born at Green
port, Columbia county, New York, on
February 8, 1859. When a Youth he
worked in a rolling mill in Somerville,
Mass. where he won several fights with
his fellow workmen. He took to rowing
for amusement. The fall of 1888 Kilrain
developed into professional pugilist and
obtained the position of assistant to Tim
McCarty at the Boston crib club
He had many glove encounters
there among them being with
Harry Allen and George Godfrey, colored,
which ne won; then he fought Jim GOode
a draw, that being in 1884, after which
Charley Mitchell wanted chance at Kill
rain, and the two came together and
fought four rounds, also a draw. The
same may be said of Mike Cleary, though
Kilrain felt that he should have had the
verdict in the latter case. Jack Burke
and jake agreed to fight five rounds,
and the battle was commenced, when the
police stopped it. All these contests
were in Boston and with gloves.
Kilrain rested awhile and then went to
Bangor, Me-. where he defeated Jerry
Murphy. In 1885, at Cambridge, Mass,
Kilrain defeated William Sheriff, the
"Prussian. - Subsequently he had
fights with George Fryer, the English
pugilist; Jim McGlynn, Frank Herald,
Jack Ashton Con Long Island), Joe
Lannon and others. In England he gave
sparring exhibitions with Mitchell and
fought to a draw with Jem Smith.
Kilrain has been very successful in his
fighting. He has never been defeated
and his drawn battles have been with
eminent pugilists.

JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN OF BOSTON.

battles. He has made a great deal of

at Apremont, France. The fight, which
was for $4,000, ended in draw
