Regarding the Pugilists.
Nobody, 1 think, would be surprised at
the refusal of John L. Sullivan, the latest
addition to our list OF star actors, to have
anything to do with R. K. Fox's offer. The
latter gentleman, as readers of The Dis
PATCH are aware, offered to match Sullivan
to fight Slavin for S25, 900 a. side, and if the
American won he was to get all the win
nings. Sullivan couldn't well do other than
ignore an offer made under such circum-
stances. At best the offer was only device
of the offerer to establish himself in public
favor. He pufed and praised McAulife
up to such an e1travagant extent and r'dl-
culed the abilities OF Slavin so much that the
result of the contest between the two latter left
him the laughing stock OF the entire sport
ing world. Doubtless he would have given
twice S25, 600 to have escaped the ludicrous
position in which his love of uotoriety
placed him. But added to this is the fact
of the persistent way in which Mr.. Fox and
his friends have bounded Sullivan for
years. None of us could expect to find Sui
livan running to Fox & Co. with open arms
after the long personal war there has been
between. them. If Sullivan had any
desire at present to fight Sla-
vim his own friends could soon
produce $25,0 However, all offers seem
to be useless at present. The great slugger
has become a Iuminary in the Thespian
world, and his only fistic efforts now are in
the direction of thrashing stage villain
nightly. And 1 am not sure that John L.
or his friends need be too, anxious about his
meeting Slavin at all. The latter in many
respects is "bruiser" after Sullivan's own
style, and he is in better form than he was
ever in in his life. Sullivan is not and
couldn't be for very long time at least. In
fact Sullivan's fight with Kilrain shows
clearly that the former could hardly get
into a condition good enough to defeat
Slavin. OF course I am not talk
ing about Sullivan as he was;
but am referring to him as years Of dissi-
patton and debaucherv have made him. A
few years ago if Slavin and Sullivan had
fought, and allowing the Australian to be
as good then as he is now, Sullivan would
have settled him in less than four rounds,
because of Slavin's method of fighting.
Sullivan's great source OF victory was his
rushing, and this is what Slavin almost en-
tirely relies on. But do not think there
ever was pugilst whose rushes were as
terrific as those of John L. Sullivan in his
vigorous DAYS. To say that he has the same
vigor and stamina to-day that he possessed
at the time refer to- is saying too much. I
don't think he will ever have again, and it
may be well if John L. Sullivan declines to
fight again.

The following Resolutions were unanimous
ly adopted:
Resolved. That this committee re.affirns
the State and National Republican platform of
1888, including the declaration that "the Re.
gold and silver as money and that it "con.
dems all efforts to demonetize silver"
Resolved, That the persistent neglect OF
Secretary Window to increase the coinage Of
silver to the maximum OF four million dollars
per month, coupled with his attempt to infiu.
ence Congressional legislation 30 as to perpet.
uate silver demonstration, is shameless vio-
lation Of the silver plank of the National Re.
publican platform an attack upon the rights
and interests OF the miners, farmers and
workers of the land, and an act of party per-
fidfty that should call for his retirem ent from
the councils of an Administration which is
pledged to help and not 10 hinder the ren,ons-
tizstion Of silver. .
Resolved, That the Republican party Of
this state is In favor of free and unlimited
coinage of both gold and silver; that 1t
holds to this principle as q tenent of parry
faith and test of party allegiance; that It
will permit of no abandonment or modification
OF this doctrine; that le. whosoever will prove
recreant to the principle Of bimetallism It will
remain steadfast thereto, ana that it invites oil
voters in Nevada who favor the repeal of the
iniquitous interlineated law Of 1873 by which
silver was demonetizei, and who desire the
establishment OF free and unlimited coinage as
the law Of the United States OF America, to
join in electing delegates TO Republican

The Prosperous Farmers.

Amusing-The Appeal telling the
farmers how very prosperous they are
and in the same breath that their land
is virtually valueless after deducting
the cost of buildings and other improve
ments, which facts must effectually
estop Henry Georges proposed tax
system so the appeal infers. AS George
proposes to deduct all improvements
and lay the tax on the land palue alone,
it looks to one up tree as if land that
had only nominal value would war;
rant Tie assessment OF but nominal
tax on it. Farmers crops sell for less
than they did 40 years ago, while the
wages they pay are twice as high.
Farms like every other kind of fixed
capital, are measured by the income
they yield, and being never so low in
price heretofore as now, is conclusive
evidence that the business is less pro-
titable than it ever was. or than any
other business. We publish statisti-
cal table of profits of several lines of
business on our fourth page, which
places farming at the bottom only 2
per cent. We fear the Appeal cannot
be accepted as authority on economic
problems.

Taxing Mortgages.

We have often thought it remark =
able that the wisdom of our legisla-
ture when wrestling with the mort
gage tax. in its effort to relieve the
farmer, that it has not made the tax
gatherers' receipt, good as pay
ment of interest by the mortg9gor to
the mortgage. to the amount Of the
tax on the value of the property COW
cred by the mortgage. For instance:
A farm is eDcumbered by $1,000
mortgage, the rate of tax is 81 90 on
the $780,, the tax therefore on the
property covered by the mortgage is
$1,000. The annual interest on the
mortgage at per cent is $50. The
tax gatherers receipt of $40 and $50
IN cash pays the interest for one
year on the mortgage. This is tax
ing each party justly without taxing
debt or double taxing property.
This process would not increase the
basis of taxation and if our states
men cannot increase the basis of
taxation without laying double tax
on property they had better go home
to their law offices an turn over the
legislature to the farmers, or the
Single Tax Club" of Baltimore.
