Pugilism seems to be less under the
condemnation of the law in England
than in this country. McAuliffe and
Slavin, who were arrested for commit
ting a breach of the peace at their fight
two months ago, have been released
without punishment, save that it cost
their friends considerable to defend
them. Now McAuliffe is billed to go at
the business again right away, and it
does not seem likely the he will again be
interfered with. If these gentlemen are
wise they will profit by their own expert
ence in Merry England as contrasted
with the Sullivan -Kilrain incidents in
Mississippi some months ago, and keep
off that preserve if they should venture
To this side.

States. Chicago" exclaims the Stats

it, After all, there seems to be more
of substantial reason for locating the

recognized. The world will be largely
represented if patronized by home PEG
pie alone, but each one from other lands
will constitute an advertising agent in a
private way and thus spread the an

The Kansas City Times would belittlc
the work of the Kansas senate codifying
committee by asserting that the Alliance
forced their report, ignoring the fact
that the committee was appointed before
the Alliance had an existence and that
the character of the report was deter
mined upon long before the Alliance
had shown that it had any strength in
Kansas. The Republican party of Kan
sas, however, has been more success
fully domineered 10y two Democratic
Missouri papers in the past, than will
tie Alliance ever be by those two sheets.

The supreme court of Georgia held,
in the recent case of Alexander VS.. the
state. that the business of buying and
selling what are commonly known as
futures, being gambling, is not protected
by the interstate commerce clause of the
constitution of the United States, and
that therefore the resident agent or per-
sons in New York, who took orders in
Georgia for cotton futures 10 be execut-
ed in New York and who failed to reg

pay the license tax, as required by the
general tax act for 1889 and 1890, para

The Alliance has made another con-

made the Winfield Daily Tribune a
staunch Republican paper, has transfer
red that paper bodily to the manage

Smith, who at once will make it an or

salute the new helmsmen say:
There is evidently something wrong.
Upon this proposition there is no room for
argument. The only question that need
occupy our attention is, What are the
causes that brought about the present con-
dition of affairs? And after having settled
this question, we can then apply the rem

A significant point in connection with
the money movement is the large de-
crease in the exports of breadstuffs for
the month of November as compared
with last year. The fact that for the
first five months of the fiscal year the ex-
ports have decreased 50, 902, SAT, or 12a
per cent, together with the delay in the
shipment of cotton incident to the tight
money market, has made farmers and
shippers anxious. The Star says this

Professor Virgins, who at one time
and fokA season, had the ears of the con-
tinent on weather representations, but
who lost his grip by failing in his
guesses, has bobbed up again, but in a

ditions. In view of his failure as a
weather prophet, his predicted cholera
scourge for this country next year will
not cause a stampede to some other
planet by the hying machine route.

Ho,e, struck by Lightning.

TRENTON, May 1G.-This morning the

South Warren streets, was struck by
lightning, the building set on fire and
several o, the inmates injured. An hour
later the residence OF DR.. I. j. JOHNSON,
on the same street, but about Two
squares from the Delaware, was struck.
Dr.. Johnson's father, who stood looking
out the window, received slight shock,
and the sash Of the window through
which he was gazing a, tho storm was
shattered to splinte.
Mrs. Mary A. sweeney, the pretty
young married daughter OF Z. NJ. Hun,
proprietor Of The Delaware Hotel, was
lust ascending the stairs at the moment
the lightning struck the hotel. eLe was
knocked tenseless and she remained un-
conscious for some time. Isaac Matheson,
the clerk, was thrown from us feet with
such force against the bar that he too
WAS shocked to Inconsistencies and had
to be removed to his home III Il carriage.

The decision of the court yesterday
lays down the broad principle that no
hotel or saloon keeper who has al any
time violated the liquor laws Of the
State need apply tor reissue OF his
license. This has been the opinion OF
the court before in theory, but never
has it before been strictly carried out
in practice. The decision retires qui,e
q number of thoee who have hereto
fore been looked upon as reputable
saloon keepers, but recently have been
either by their own plea OF guilt or the
evidence of others convicted and fined
for violation of the liquor laws.
There seems to be nothing for these
saloon keepers to do 10 regain their
standing but to do penance tor the
past and then come before the court
as new applicants.

for some of these applicants for license

and the Senate will lose nothing in

great issue Of the day, protection, the
situation is even. Still, though. Mr.
Carlisle is typical Southerner Of h'
