Sound Doctrine.
From the Marshall News Democrat.

From the Marshall News-Democrat.
If the Democratic party is to
continue in power in the State, the
leaders and the party papers must
pay more attention to principles
and measures and less attention to
booming friends and damning ene-
mics. Party journals and party
leaders must look at public ques-
tions, rather than from that of
personal advantage. Already the
effort of certain persons to inaugu-
rate a bitter senatorial fight in this
State bodies no good to either the
party or the State. 1t should be
universally recognized that men
and journals have the right to op-
pose Vest and favor another with
out having either the disinterest-
edness Of their motives or their
party fealty questioned; but it
should be as readily conceded that
men and journals have the right to
favor the reelection of Vest with
out being sneered at as "bourbons"
or accused of being "self-consti-
tuted dictators." Public questions
can be discussed without personal
tiles, and it is only from personal
animosltles that danger to the party
can come. The wise course to
pursue is for Democrats everywhere
to strive to make the party the Or
ganization through which the mass
es of the people shall work out the
problem of self-government and Sc.
cure equal rights for all, rather
than the mere machine for ele-
waiting this man or that man, this
factor or that faction, to public
position.

THE GREAT FIGHT.
Sullivan Outfights his Man from
Start to F1nlsh-A Terrible
Battle.

The great battle for the cham
pionship of the world, $4,000 and
the Fox championship belt between
John l.. Sullivan and Jake kilrain
was fought near Richburg, Marion
county, Miss, and was won by Sui
livan in IS rounds, occupying two
hours and five minutes, the sponge
being thrown up for kilrain at that
time. The battle was one of the
hardest ever fought between big
men in this country, but from start
to finish Sullivan had decidedly the
best of the it. Kilrain did not
prove to be the wonderful wrestler
represented, for Sullivan threw him
as often as he was thrown
and with far greater severity. The
day was intensely hot and this
added to the punishment of the
men. John Fitzpatrick, of New
Orleans, was the referee. He is
an honest man, but he is not fully
posted on the rules of the London
prize ring, and he exercised great
leniency toward Kilrain, who went
down repeatedly without a blow in
the most deliberate manner. He
equalized matters well, however,
by twice overlooking fouls of Sulli-
van, who once sat down on Kill
rains breast and another time
Jumped on him with both knees.

Francis and the Farmer.


Gov. Francis has had two meas
ures to pass upon during his ad-
ministration which were directly in
the interest of the farmer and di-
rectly against the interest that the
Governor, as an individual, has al
ways been supposed to represent.
These were the anti-option bill and
the grain inspection bill. They
have both been approved by him,
and the predictions of his friends
that he would not be swayed by
personal feelings in the perform
ance of his official duties are now
fully vindicated. The last men
toned bill is a good one for the
agricultural interest, as it insures
the grain and warehouse inspec-
ton now had in several other states.
It provides that the railroad COM
mission shall be known hereafter
as the board of railroad and ware
house commissioners. All ware
houses and elevators having stor-
age capacity of $4,000 bushels or
more come under its provisions.
The owners of these are required te
take out license to be graded in pro-
portion to the capacity of the ware
house or elevator, and a bond is re-
quired also, which is graded upon
the same basis. The board OF com.
missioners is empowered to ap-
point a chief inspector, who shall
have charge of the inspection of
all grain going into the elevators,
aud he may appoint such deputies
and other assistants as are neces-
sary to carry out the purposes of
the law. The appointment OF
boards of appeal and arbitration are
provided for and these may review
the acting of the chief inspector in
the grading of grain. 1t is calcu-
lated that thoroughly honest and
fair inspection of grain is insured
under the provisions of this law.
Gov. Francis believes the law is a
good one, and, if the right kind Of
man is appointed as chief efinspecto,
the results will be beneficial to the
farming interests and not hurtful ts
the dealers in or buyers of cereals.

An ex-Warden of the Missouri

An ex-Warden of the Missouri
Penitentiary, discussing the pardon
of two life prisoners by Gov. Fran
els on the eve of July 4, said that
no system of reward for good be-
havior worked with such gratifying
results as the pardon of two life
term prisoners at Christmas and
the fourth of July. 1t makes of
what would, were this possibility of
release not ever present, gloomy
despairing prisoners hopeful, cheer
full workers, who recognize that
obedience to the rules ofthe prison
gives them that much better
chance to become the objects OF
Executive clemency. The custom,
which originated in Missouri, has
been generally adopted In the
Western States, where it applies
not necessarily to life prisoners, but
to the longest in service. 1t is a
revival of the ancient way of cele-
brating festivals and occasions Of
great joy in the household of a
monarch-the emancipation OF
slaves and the release of prisoners.

ON A BIG DRUNK.
The Champion Sullivan tries to
Drink all the Whisky in
New Orleans.

After getting s27 900, his share of
the big fight, says late special,
the first step taken by Slugger Sui
ivan was to emancipate himself
from the control of Muldoon, to
whose care and attention he owes
his victory. Having accomplished
this, he felt at liberty to commence
lushing, and was soon on full
fiedged spree. About 5 o'clock,
yesterday, under the influence of
liquor, he entered the Young Mems
Gymnastic Club, at New Orleans,
and for a time made things lively
there. A crowd followed him
across the street, and when he APP
peared at the front windows of the
club house they cheered him loud
ly. He responded by scattering
handfuls of silver among the crowd,
producing considerable uproar in
the street. Finally he was persuad-
ed to leave the club house, and TAX
ing a carriage drove out to Spanish
Fort, a summer resort on the shore
of Pontchartrain, accompanied by
John Daily, Joe Coburn and Mike
Cleary. At the Fort the party Or
dered a sumptuous meal and wine.
Champagne flowed like water. As
the pugilists sat at table numbers
of the visitors, among them many
ladies, crowded around to catch a
glimpse of the party, but the tone
of their conversation, especially
Sullivan's, soon drove all out OF
hearing. An inoffensive looker-on,
who incurred sullivan's displeasure

capped being Drained by a cham

| deavored to restrain the obscenity
of Sullivan's speech and his beha-
vior, but without avail, and they
finally concluded to take him home
This was accomplished under the
pretense of engaging with him in 8
foot race, which terminated at the
step of their carriage. After some
trouble Sullivan was persuaded to
enter the vehicle and the party re
turned to the city, going at once tt
the champions quarters, where h
was put to bed. Muldoon is thor

growth. Mexico is pushing to the

men are moving in and old ones are

outlook is fine and the outlook for
fall business was never so good.
