IT is now stated that New York has Q
law providing punishment tor the act OF
preparing fort prize fight within its limits.
The law seems to be about as valuable as
the law against prize fighting. As is the

statute books must be reformed.

Lieutenant Governor in Ohio amounted to
only two dollars and seventy-fve cents, OF

served by one slight fact. which deprives it
of its exceptional character. The other man
was nominated.

There's Room for All.

Most of the domain of the Russian Empire
is, comparatively speaking. uninhabited. Here
in the United States the bulk of our popula-
tion is centered in group of States east of the
Mississippi; the soil has hardly been touched
in Canada, Mexico and South America; only
a small strip of sea coast in Australia has been
settled, and behind it is a wilderness as large as
the United States; in Asia there is q
region nearly as extensive as North
and South America combined but slightly
sprinkled with people; the great East Indian
as great as Russia in Europe, have fewer in
habitants than Great Britain, and over so per
cent of them are in the one island of Java, not
one-fourth larger than Kentucky. In Africa
bers no one can compute. We do not think it
is yet quite time to bother ourselves about
over population.
