pugilist may be classified as what Is
termed jabber or q knocker-0ut, ac-
c0rding to the style which he usually
adopts In contest. The first named
depends upon skill for his success,

I any man living had he been at my
mercy, as Cardiff was. In view of the
criticism which has been passed upon
my failure to knock him out. will say
that while am pugilist by profess
! sion, am opposed upon principle to the
common brutalities of the prize-ring.
When enter contest feel that I am
engaged in manly sport and not in
fight, and that l should win upon my
merits as a boxer, at the same time
humiliating and Furnishing my adver-
sary as little as possible. While enter

II can. never give punishment which
Is unnecessary to accomplish my
purpose. When Cardiff was hanging
on the ropes in a helpless condition,
any one with half Of my strength
could have knocked him insensible, but
saw he was whipped and must in
short time fail from sheer exhaustion.
While possess the strength, and per-
haps the other qualifications, OF a
knocker-out, l do not deem this method
one which should be followed, except
by those who cannot make any other
kind Of fight. Under favorable con-
ditlons might win at it in short order,

Syracuse journal.

The London (Ont.) Free Press devotes
half a column to grave refutation of
the theory advanced by wag in the
guise of scientist, that the low water
in the great lakes is caused by leak in
the bottom of one of them. The wag-
scientist is doubtless laughing in his
his sleeve.
The evident sincerity with which the
London paper attacks the theory is al
most as amusing as the alarm of the old
woman whom the traveller in the then
new West found crying in the doorway
of her log cabin in '.New Connecticut"

his office every moment the condition of

conducting profitable ''Ducket shop"
against which class the board of trade
is waging war by threatening to cut off

on the ground that the board of trade,

Suppress Drunkenness.

In many of the Northern States
civil damage laws, Or better known,
as civil damage liquor laws, have
been enacted. These laws give a
right Of action fer damages to any
husband, wife, child, parent, guar
dian, employer, or other persons,
who shall be injured in person, prop.
erty, Or means Of support, by the
intoxication, habitual or otherwise,
OF any person caused by liquors
furnished by another. These laws
have been vigorously opposed and
contested in the coarts by the whisky
men, but the constitutlonaiity of
such statutes have been upheld by
the courts, and have grown into
great popular favor.
They arc enacted for the purpose
OF maintaining sobriety among the
people where whisky is sold; to make
the saloon-keepers more cautious
and prudent in the sale of liquors;
and granting to those who have suf.
iered damages from intoxication,
the right to proceed in courts against
the seller of whisky, for the amount
OF damages they have suffered.
There can be no question bat that
such laws are very wholesome in
their effect. The vendors of liquors
should be restrained in every possible
means that would seem in any way
to diminish drunkenness. 1t is the
curse of the age; and he is a wise
and patriotic law maker who will
create a law that will stop it entirely.
We believe that these restraints
should be placed not only upon the
seller but the drinker of liquors. II
there were no drinkers, then there
would be neither saloons nor drunk.
enness. The sale OF liquors should
be properly regulated by strict laws;
and the drunkard should also oe
regulated with a proper fine or i'm
prisonment by the courts. If this
were doEo, the whisky traffic would
not be SO lucrative, nor the amount
of drunkenness so abundant.-Farm.
