Gibbons Wins the Fight.

NEW YORK, Dec. 18.-The much
talked Of kid glove fight to finish, be.
tween Mike Cushing and Austin Glib.
bons, took place early this morning
near Stamford, Connecticut. Three
hundred persons witnessed the con-
test, prominent among whom was
John l.. Sullivan. Gushing was Sd
| confident OF doing his man in a punch
that he filled in with wine up to within
| an hour or two of the fight. It proved
/ a costly experiment. as poor Gushing
| got pounded all over the ring. AS
| soon, as- Gushing discovered his mis-
take he tried TO lose the fight throuy h
| q foul, but DOmiuick McCaffrey, who
refereed the fight, would not allow any
Of the fouls.
The first twenty rounds were pretty
evenly fought, both men realizing they
had no easy task tn perform In the.
eighteenth round Gibbons played a
Cushing's bloudy left eye, which he had
severely damaged previously aud the
latter retaliated by butting his oppun
snt in the face a dJZcn ur mure times
The twenty-second round was the most
exciting of the fight. Gibbons forced
Gushing to the ropes in the latter 3
corner and held him there with Que
hand while he teamed over the ropes
and smashed Billy hurry and McCar-
thv with the other Gsbbons' br, ther
Jim came TO the rescue aud there Was
livey punching done on the outside for
. few seconds Gushing was too far
gone to take advantage of his Oppou-
eat. Gibbons did all the fighting in
the tWenty-third round and took par
ticular delight in landing on Mikes
damaged eye and had him covered
with blood. The tWenty-fourth and
last round was of short duration.
Gibbons knocked Cushing down twice,
but each time Nike recovered before
the ten seconds were up. The third
time he knocked him down, however,
the stomach. This was Gibbons min b
battle and he has yet to NEST his first
defeat.

HON. JACOB SToTLER was in Topeka
yesterday. He is a candidate for state
printer. Probably no man in Kansas
has done so much for his party and his
state and has got so little reward as
Mr.. Stotler. But that don't cut any
figure. If every paper in the state
should say this and endorse Mr.. Stotler
for state printer, nothing would neces
sarily come of it. 1t takes more than
newspaper talk to accomplish things
politically, and every time we want to
say kind word about man, we feel
that it is useless except for fiattery,
and often stop.-Fort Scott Monitor.

to increase the price of lis products.
Indeedl but you tell the farmer that
the effect of the tariff on manufactures
is to cheaper them. What a wonder
full thing this tariff IS. 1t can be made
to enhance or cheaper the value of a

1.-THE real enemies of the trusts, "
says the Globe Democrat, ''are the pro
tectionists." That is good, quite good,
but the next moment it spoils the beau
ty OF its picture by making an excep-
ton in the case OF the sugar-duty
which it says is the cause of the sugar
trust, ana should therefore be re
moved. What paltry tricks these pro
tectiODists are driven to; what shamb
ling, shutting and pettifogging, in or
der to work the consuming public, and
perpetuate their detestable robberies
Protection kills or prevents trusts, but
is the life of the sugar trust That is
fair sample of the many arguments
and of the logic by which we of the
west have been won over to a supper
OF the tariff laws. We ought to b,
very proud Of our wisdom and sagaeity

A CONSOLIDATION.

ocrat has had a hard struggle for
some time to maintain itself.
Several things consDired to
cripple its influences, and drag it down.
Its late management essayed the task
Of putting it on a paying basis If pos
sfble. For several months it buffetted
tbs waves, but to no purpose. The
undertaking was too much. A
proposition to sell to the NEWS
company was made, and enter
entertained. The result of the negotia-
lions is that consolidation OF the two
papers will take place. The consolidat-
ed paper will be known as the NEWS
DEMocRAT., and will be the best paper
In the county, and one Of the best in
the state. After this week the subscri.

states Of Minnssota, Iowa, Arkansas,

CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-The Cronin jury,
as far as is known outside Of the jury
room, has still been unable to reach a
verdict. They spent the night in the
room in the criminal court building,
which they have occupied continuously
since Friday. and kept light burning
brightly until after 2 O'Clock this MORN
ing. Judge MeConnell's private in
structiOns 20 the bailiffs were to take
the jury back to the hotel in case they
agreed on verdict, and that he would
receive It this morning. At the states
attorneys Office 1t was stated that not
word had been heard from the jury
by the prosecuting attorneys this
morning, and that all reports that they
had at last agreed were simply guess
work.
All the morning papers to-day seem
to be OF the opinion that a verdict will
be reached to-day land this view Of the
situation is strengthened by an inter
view with Judge Mcconnell, which
was sent out in these dispatches last
night, and in which the judge ex
pressed the belief that a verdict wouIC
yet be reached. baSing his belief chiefly
on the assertion that he had received
no intimation from the jury that they
had been unable to agree.
A significant fact in connection will

that another room has been fitted III
for the grand jury down stairs aud thu
Cronin jury still occupies the grant
jury room. Judge Mcconnell at 1872
formally announced from the bencI
that no verdict had been reached ant

1t Is now utterly impossible that an
information Of any character can b
forthcoming from the jury before 2 ?

gret to see," said Judge Mcconnell t
the Associated Press represent atiye
that the Chicago papers persist i
publishing purpOrted details of tn
transactions and situation in the jur
room. This is all wrong; it mislead
the public, and might easily be pei
nicious in its effect. AS a matter O
fact, of the decisions of columns put
llshed DY local papers upon that suit
jeet, not one sentence regarding tn
proceedings in the jury room is NOR
than a mere Surmise."
How long do you expect to keep tn
jury out in case Of failure to max
any returnr"
THAT depends greatly upon the sit
uation and upon the circumstances
So far the jury has given the court n
intimation whatever Of a probable dis
agreement.
