TIE OTHER SIDE or IT.

The New York papers just now are
busy deyising ingenious reasons why
a worlds fair is a bad thing to have
around, and v the people of the me-
tropolis seem TO be largely occupied in
the same way. II is apparently the
universal belief there that the en-
ployed class have great cause to thank
heaven for the results, inasmnch as
the benefits. such as they might have
been, would have been reaped by
employers entirely, and 1T the expense
of the employed, who would have been
loaded with extra labor without add
tional pay and all for the sake of earn
ing more money for the people for
whom they worked. The actual labor
ing class (which term is not intended
TO apply TO clerks, statesmen, and those
engaged in other of the lighter forms
of labor also point with satisfaction
to the experience Of Philadelphia work
men after the Centennial ~ illustrat-
ing the evil from which they have been
shielded by the recent act of congress.
The holding of a colossal exposition
such AS the one contemplated naturally
attracts crowds of outside help, which
becomes stranded there, and for a long
time afterward every vacant position
has dozens clamoring for il to the detri-
ment of good wages.
The hotel men, too, nov realize that
they couldn't have overcrowded thei
houses without mountaineering regu-
lar guests, and although this might
have brought temporary profits, in the
long run they would probably have
scored losses. In constructing new
buildings. also, there would have been
an activity which would have insured
such an supply of room after the
rush was mt an end that il would have
been surely detrimental to judicious in
vestment in that line under present
conditions. In short, everything would
have been turned to~psy-turvy, all con-
servatiye bases would have been
unsettled, and during the few active
months of the fair, the future vitality
of New York would have been drawn
upon so layishly that IL would have
taken years to recover. Indeed, N
cannot read the New York papers to
any extent just now without becoming
convinced that heaven. which has al
ways smiled upon the great metropolis,
has in this case gone into a paroxysm
of joy v c the opportunity of shielding
her from SO great a calamity rs the
worlds fair.

AN HISTORIC MyTH.

IL is generally believed, in fact il is
accepted as n matter of history, that
John l.. Sullivan and Jake kilrain
fought a prize fight in Mississippi Oh
July IL, 1889; Furthermore that the
fight took place in the open air and in
the presence Of a considerable number
of spectators. These facts have mo-
been challenged. But law is superior
to history, and the twelve months SEN
tence of the Boston bruiser has been
set aside on appeal and the indictment
quashed on the ground that il does not
appear in the formal charge that the
fight was public or that Kilrain fought
sullivan
Not having the statutes Of Missis-
sippi at hand, we cannot tell what dis
tinction is drawn between public prize
fights and private prize fights. ii ap-
pears certain, however, that such a dis
tinction exists. and the failure Of the
indictment to recognize il has led the
supreme court tn ar inevitable conclu-
sion. The learned judges reasoned in
this way: According To the statute
there are two kinds Of prize fights: the
indictment charges neither m kind
nor the other: ergo, there has been no
prize fight.
But a more serious defect in the in
dictment is its omission To state that
Kilrain fought sullivan" II Is very true
that specific mention Is made of Sulli-
van lighting Kilrain, but so far as the
law has any knowledge Kilrain did not
fight back. And it may be said par
enthetically that for once law and fact
are fairly harmonious. IL will be re.
membered that this view was taken by
the Jury before whom Mr.. kilrain was
tried. They convicted him rot of prize
fighting but Of simple assault and bat
terry. Scientific observers who were
present on the occasion have been in.
clined to the same opinion, and they
will be pleased to learn that their judg-
ment is being repeatedly confirmed by
the courts. All this tends somewhat
TO diminish the luster Of Mr.. kilrain's
professional reputation. but law must
prevail and justice must be enforced.
Since then Mr.. Kilrain did not tight
Mr.. Sullivan there was no prize fight,
and the statement that there was is
really an historical inaccuracy-an IL
fusion instantly dispelled as soon as il
is brought within the efrulgence of the
law. Let no one be deceived into be-
lieving that the instrumentalities of
Jurisprudence have been employed to
conceal the fact that an encounter took
place. There was a prize fight
between Sullivan and kilrain. The nj.
legation has been repeatedly sub
mitted TO the tests OF law and rs often
disproyed.

the remaining territories Of the West
