JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN OF BOSTON.
Mr.. Sullivan, the pride of Boston, has
a reputation second to no pugiIist that
ever lived, but it rests so far on only two
battles. He has made great deal Of
money by exhibitions of mis- skill in SPAR
ring, with particulars of which the
papers have oveTfiowed. The Bos-
ton giant has been described as
''hard citizen. - His alleged eruelties to
his true and lawful wife and his oc-
casiOnal inebriety are remembered
against him, but he is popular fellow
Notwithstanding. John l.. was born at
Boston in 1858. The beginning of his
great reputation was made February Z
1882, when ne fought Paddy Ryan cham
pion of America, in front of Barnes
hotel, Mississippi City, Miss. After nine
rounds, lasting eleven minutes, Sulli-
van was declared the victor and
the winner of $500, which was
the amount of the stakes. On March Is
1888, Sullivan fought Charles Mitchell,
at Apremont, France. The fight, which
was for $4,000, ended in a draw.
Sullivan s defeat of Ryan was of man
who had beaten Joe Goss, the champion
of England, and is the cornerstone of
his reputation. He will fight Kilrain for
SO ZOO and the championship of the
world

LEADING Southern papers are discussing cot
tonfeld labor, and claim that 30 per cent. of the
cotton in South Carolina is raised by white
labor, much larger per cent in Mississippi
and Georgia, and it is safe to say that when
Arkansas and Texas are included with their le-
gion of white workers, about half of our cotton
crop is raised by white labor. It is only in the
low bottom lands of the Lower Mississippi valley
that cOlored labor seems to be a necessity. =
[Pittsburg Post.
The Post need not have qualified its statement.
The negro is not necessity anywhere Il Mem
phis Avalanche.
The Avalanche states the truth tersely:
the negro is not a necessity anywhere in
the South. The smaller the percentage
of negros in any given population the
greater the progress. North Texas
has white labor, and North Texas
grows; the Senegambian district lam
guishes. The presence of negroes in
large numbers is a curse TO the white
man of Mississippi, South Carolina and
Louisiana, and Texas will be the gamer
for every negro that migrates to Mexico.

THE Ipse Dixit party of Texas was
born at Dallas, July 4 Ammo DOmini
1889. 1t declared for eight hours as a
working day, a single tax, a government
issue of money, public ownership of lines
of transportation and communication,
except omnibuses and stage coaches, and
the abolition of the grand jury system.
Strange to say no demand was made for
an equalization of brain power, inventive
genius, industry, perseverance and econ

the iniquitous tariff was heard. w. E.

THE New Orleans Picayune says of the
Mellow case: ''We do not quarrel with
the law which makes it possible for whites
to be tried for their lives by negro jurors,
but acqmescence in the existing condi-
tions of life does not necessarily imply
approval The law forcing the negro
into the jury box is only one part of de-
Hberate and settled purpose to humiliate
the Southern people, but, like every ef-
fort OF that sort, it has resulted in fail
ure, although it has greatly contributed
to degrade and demoralize political senti-
ment in the South. -

The South viii Do 1t.
JOHN d. LEWIS
New York Herald

Mr.. Henry Watterson, the Kentucky
thoroughbred, wants to know what the
difference is between the Old South and
the New South.
That Is a very easy conundrum to
guess. The Old South had notion that
the Yankees love Of gold and his viii
hngness to work for it were the charac-
teristics OF rather vulgar mind.
The New South has suddenly found a
lot of iron and coal mines on its estates
become excited, peeled off its swallow
tail coat, rolled up its sleeves and taken
a great big oath that it will get more
money than the Yankee ever dreamed of
or know the reason why.
And, great Scott. it viii do it, too, If
we are not careful.

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 draw. The
same may be said of Mike Cleary, though

THE Fort Worth GAZETTE is beginning gradu-
ally to fall in on the side Of the people upon the
question of controlling the railroads by Iegisla-
toni Denton Monitor.
THE GAZETTE always seeks to be s'on
the side of the people, - to labor for the
many as against the few, to accomplish
the greatest good to the greatest number.
But the Monitor must never forget to
distinguish between a blind or dema-
gogical howl against corporations
and a well-defned complaint of injustice.
THE GAZETTE lends no aid and encour-
agement to the one, but is ever prompt
to antagonize injustice. The people
themselves illustrate the position of this
paper, for while they are demanding
Justice at the hands of Texas railroad
management, they are doing all in their
power to secure more railroads for Texas.

CHICAGO, Ill, July 5.-A number of
prominent sh-Americans held private
meeting yesterday afternoon to discuss the
feasibility of the organization of an Irish
American republic to advance the in

it is because the cultured girl is too good
