Another brutal prize-hght has taken
place, and is read with the greatest
interest. In fact, newsboys have
reaped rich harvest in selling papers
with full descriptions of the fights be-
tween Kilrain and Corbett and Demp-
sey and Mccarthy during the past
two days. It is not surpris-
ing, viewing hnman nature as it was
and is, that the coliseum at Rome was
tbronged with people to witness the
bloody gladiatorial combats. If such
exhibitions were given now reserved
seats would sell readily.

by religious differences but by race

BRITISH CAPITAL IN THIS
COUNTRY.

In an article on "British Capital
and American Industries" in the North
american for February, Erastus Wy
man points out the fact that Great
Britain is in receipt Of enormous rev.
enues, not merely from her trade, but
but from the interest on government
loans, from the returns on English
capital invested in foreign state and
municipal improvements, and by the
return to the mother country, with all
their money, of successful Engllshmen
who have accumulated fortunes in
various parts of the globe. "The re-
suit OF this vast volume of interest,
dividends and profits is the creation of
an annual income far in excess of
spending or absorbing possibilities
within the island ITSELF" During the
past year sS15, 100000 was subscrib ed
to new enterprises launched in Lon
don. Of these three e-fourths were in
dustrial enterprises, of which one-half
are located in Great Britain, while the
other half are scattered all over the
world.
The United States is now the most
attractive field for the investment of
English capital. During the last two
years about 81, 100000 week of En-
glish money has been invested in in.

millions of dollars have gone to the
purchase of seventeen distinct brewery
establishments, which have since been
united in one grand combination.

Elevator Line nearly $5, 900, 900; the
California Consolidated Quicksilver

prises. The capitol at Austin, Tex,
was built with British money. Brit

of the government of Bulgaria the pay
ment of 3,0O0,0o0 roables, arrears Gf
money due on account Of the Rassian
occupation during 1878 and 1879. The

A CLEAR POINT OF Law.

The verdict in the case of Chase vs.. The
South Pacific Coast Railroad Company estab-
fishes principle about which there should
have been nocontroversy. Chaseis lumber
dealer at Boulder Creek. Four years ago he
was competing with the lumber ring which
operated under the name of the San Jose
Lumber Association. In order to crush him
out, the association made bargain with the
railroad that the latter should not furnish
Chase with cars to haul his lumber The
bargain was faithfully complied with by Mr..
Fillmore, who was managing the road for its
owner. Chase, in consequence, was unable
to fill his contracts for the delivery of lumber,
and suffered damages which he reckoned at
$4,000 The jury gave him a verdict fer
$1,000.
The principle of the common law is so
urged was that Fillmore exceeded bis powers
in refusing to furnish cars to Chase. But
this was obviously subterfuge. Every COM
pany lis responsible for the acts of its Off
Gals. within the usual line of their duties.
The Judge made this quite plain in his
charge, and the jury had no alternative but
to decide as they did.
No common carrier can discriminate
DetNeen Shippers, llOI 10 give W out duFdh-
ta.es over another. Much less can carrier
conspirc with combination of shippers to
discriminate against shipper who refuses
to become a member of the combination. 1t
may sometimes happen that a company has
not cars at every point adequate for the
transportation of all the freight which offers,
and in such cases, where it is evidently act
ing in good faith, 1t will not be held respon-
III. u DIT el.z
tile refusal to furnish cars may be fairly in
ferred from the surrounding circumstances.

A ELL TO AMEND.

Bills have been introduced into both
Houses of Congress to amend the act creating
civil government for Alaska. 1t appears
that in the original act no provision was
made for an appeal from the United States
District Court of Sitka to the Supreme
Court. An effort will be made to get the
bill through both Houses of Congress, so
that case may be taken up and argued be-
fore the Supreme Court in December. The
New York HeralFs Washington correspond
ent has been informed that Lord Salisbury
intends TO make use of the fact that no ap-
peal to the Supreme Court is provided for in
his final argument against the jurisdiction
of the United States over Behring Sea. The
English Minister is reported as having said
that if the United States had believed in its
own claim it would have said SO through its
highest judicial tribunal. If the bill just
introduced into Congress is passed, and a
case taken before the Supreme Court in De-
cemher, the ground Of the controversy will
be materially changed. Mr.. Blaine has con-
tended that the projection of the seals WIS
justifiabie without establishing the fact that
Behring Sea was closed sea. If the case
goes before the Supreme Court it will be on
the question whether, according to the law
Of nations, Behring Sea is closed sea. Late
accounts from the seal fisheries indicate that
1t Is rapidly becoming matter of small ini-
portance how the question is finally de-
termined. lDdlscriminate fishing has pretty
nearly completed the work Of destruction.
The poachers are in a fair way not only to
ruin the seal industry for the American
company which holds the lease, but for
themselves

FROM MAINE.

Speaker Reed closed the canvass in his
State Saturday night with the remark that
the election would be close. For himself he
would be satisfied with a majority OF 1000
His majority is now reported at $500. Ii a
few hundred should be taken off by cor
rected returns Mr.. Reed will hardly fall be-
low 1000, which is something more than
twice his majority in 1888. This result is
peculiarly gratifying, coming as it does in
the face of the bitter personal attacks that
have been made upon the Speaker. 1t
shows that the people appreciate the legis-
lation of the party to restore silver to its old
rank as money, to establish new industries
in this country, and to secure fair express
sion of the will of the people in the cleo
ton of Congressman. The Maine election
will Brace up the Republican majority in
the House. If the same ratio of gain that
has shown itself in Maine is continued in
the great central States the Republicans will
have a larger majority in the next House
than they have in the present one.

SILENT FORCES.

the Government concerns itself with aid

and Mr.. Mundella should get their heads
together and agree upon some form of COM
plant against the American protective pol

planning at the favor shown the producers
of raw material, while Mr.. Mundella says
that manufacturers have full control OF
Congress, and pass laws for their own ben

The Mckinley bill protects the producers of
raw material. as well as the labor which
fashions that raw material into the finished
articles Of commerce. No reason has ever
been given why the producer of raw ma
terial should not be protected. His labor
completes with the lowest class of labor in
Europe. An American tariff which opened
our markets to the free importation of raw
material, including iron and wool, might
help manufacturers in the sections of the
country which do not produce raw ma
terial. but it would expose the producers of

whole country. II cannot discriminate be-
tween sections without FORGETTING the con-
fidence of the people. The Altd admits that
the interests of Alabama and Tennessee are

INTERESTING INFORMATION.

Some very desirable information may be
obtained by the public from reading such
paragraphs as the following which We copy
from the Philadelphia Press:
The Panama Canal Company spent 81, 100000
on its American Committee" Where did tn
money go and who got t? Nothing accom-
pshed here. The company was beaten at every
point. In France il spent S4.oS6.0Oo ON the
newspapers. II any OF the money spent on the
American Committee was charged TO the news
papers II might as well have been poured in
The gutter, for the American press has been con-
spcuously opposed to the canal In all, the
Panama Canal Company has spent in cash
SOLE, 900, 900. and Its available asset Is the
P2;ianla Railroad and $4,000 600 worth OF
bonds. AT least, the Panama Railroad is cited
as owned by the canal in France. Poors Man.
nap saws that il was until recently owned by
tie canal.
According to this paragraph there was paid
to French newspapers the sum OF S4,oS6,0o0
for putting the Panama Canal Company's
shares. And this putting of the enterprise by
the newspapers doubtless caused the French
people to invest their earnings lavishly in
that scheme. Turning to the United States,
it is sad that 81, 4O0, 900 was expended ON its
American Committee" The paragraph
says further: If any of this money was
been poured in the gutter" We have no
doubt whatever that most of this S2,400000
was PAID TO newspapers in the expectation
flat it would influence Americans to invest
in the Panama Canal shares. In the United
States it has become quite common for news
papers to sell their columnS-we mean edito-
rial columns-not alone their advertising
columns, for money. In this State. for in
stance, we know that railroad and mining
shares have been given 20 the publishers Of
newspapers for puffs; and we may add that
other companies have hired newspapers to
work for them in various ways with the eY-
pectation of profiling thereby. We could, if
we thought fit to do so, say that there are
newspapers published in San Francisco at
cunsiderab expense which are absolutely
owned by corporations, and which are man.
aged so as to benefit those corporations
These papers engage in various schemes,
even to the placing in Office men who will
assist those corporations. The Legislature
has them, for the papers do deceive the peo-
pie into the nomination of candidates for
Office, vino, when elected, work for their
masters. Our attention has recently been
called to two weekly newspapers the pro-
salaTied employees of corporation to a con-
siderable amount. One of the papers, it was
said, has been paid $4,000 annually for its
services Such newspapers can tell the pub
lie who ought to be elected to office, who
should be our Judges, in fact. A newspaper
when run by an adroit manager-by person
who can assist in nominating conventions
may be made quite profitable, we doubt not.
