Texas Pugilist.
DALLAS, Tex, Feb. 16-Jake Kilrain, and
his sparring troupe exhibited at the Opera
house Wednesday night. 1t was announced
TO be only sparring and wrestling match,
After some unevsntful sparring by others,
Tom James, of Dallas, encountered Banzia,
the combination champion light weight, for
S25, conditioned that James should stay four
rounds Banzia had 1t his own way from
the first. In the fourth round BanEia struck
James in the neck, knocking him limp on
the stage. James was unable to rise He
was sponged and restoratives applied and
the show continued, no one supposing that
James was hurt seriously. When the enter
tainment had about concluded, Muldoon an
nounced that James was unconscious and
called for physician.
AS soon as the serious condition OF James
became known officers began search for
Banzia, but he had fed. AT 1880 yesterday
morning James died and the entire combine
tion, excepting Banzia, were put under arrest
for murder Kilrain was 50 overcome that
he wept like child. A few hours later
BanEia returned and surrendered to the
officers. 1t is generally supposed that James
neck was broken, but one doctor gives it as
his opinion that James died from paral ysis
of the heart

theory that the murder was committed In
New Hampshire is supported by the state

UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

Mr.. Oates, a Democratic Congress-
mar from Alabama, replying to some
questions propounded by the Alliance,
says that he cannot vote for a bill for
the government to lend money to any
body, for he is sworn to support the
Constitution and the Constitution
does not give the Federal Government
that power.
The above item appeared in the
Charlotte NewS a few days ago. Mr..
Oates evidently is a great constitu.
tional lawyer. 1t is constitutional
for the government to loan and give
millions to the railroads. He don't
kick when the government loans
millions to the banks. Perhaps he
thought it all right for the First Ma
tional Bank of New York to get S43,-
600, 600 as a loan without interest.
He don't have a word to say against
the government warehouse system
for whiskey, for that was a lot of in
dividuals, who were willing to pay
for legislation, and they let the Con
gressmen know that they meant bust
ness-just what the farmers must do
not that the farmer should offer to
pay for legislation, but they must let
it be known that they mean business.
That was all right, but the govern
ment must not go outside of the Con-
stitution and begin lending money to
farmers. No, it is unconstitutional, it
must not be done.
