Ifthe construction, which has been placed
by some intelligent persons upon the bill, IN

fighting are legalized.
Is that the true construction DO the IN

animals with the horses and dogs, which
areto be boarded and trained on the grounds
No one but a law breaker can regard prize
fighting as anything else than an encounter
tending to breach Of the peace. DO the in
corporators think that any breach Of the
peaco will be permitted ON their grounds
even if they are allowed 20 select their OIL
GERS, The clause on this subject reads
.srbe Judge OF the County Court Ofthe cOun-
~ In which the exhibition grounds of the
compaDy may be located, shall. upon april
cation by the company, appoint such persons
as the president or manager OF SAID company
may name. and such persons appointed as
aforesaid shall be authorized 10 attend any
fair OF other exhibition held upon said COM
panys ground and 10 act as cOnserNators ol

fhority TO arrest and eject from the grounds
of the company any person or persons VINO
shall create any disturbance or VINO shall
commit any breach Of the peace or VIOLATION
IN any way OF any II the rules or regulation OF
The company"
This clause certainly cannot mean that
should county officers see toughs from New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, san Fran
cisco and other cities following two Of their
kin into the grounds, they would not have
reasonable basis to take steps TO prevent
breach Of the peace, even if officers named
by the society were already present.
These are questions which law-abiding
Virginia Is asking. The plans Of the so,
ciety will be watched closely by the press
and the people until assurance is had that
nothing but Legitimate sport is intended.
No body Of true men, lovers of real sport
will allow themselves 20 rest even under
suspicion Of wrong intentions.
THE TIMES fain would believe that the
construction of the bill alluded to is wrong
Let the legal advisers OF the society give the
correct construction and settle question
which is agitating the Commonwealth.

THE M'KINLEY TARIFF BILL.

The 1t. Louis Globe-Democrat, a Republic
can paper Of most pronounced type, asserts
that by the end of March the Mckinley
tariff bill will be before the House, and that
it will be signed by the President before the
middle of June.
AS matter Of course. under the auto
cratic rules Of the present House Of Repre-
sentatiyes, the Republicans with the aid Of
Reed as Speaker, can if they work deter
minedly together, pass this or any other
measure, no matter how atrocious, that they
may see fit. But the indications are that
they will not be so harmonious over this
bill. The reception given the measure by
the Republican press has been any
thing but cordial, while the unfayor
able criticisms passed upon it by
some Of the most influential party
organs are so numerous as TO make
it appear impossible for it to pass in its
present shape. Eastern manufacturers do
not want it because it does not provide for
free admission Of raw materials; Western
farmers object 10 il because they see that it
affords no protection 10 them, while in
creasing the cost of the necessaries OF life;
and so far as the South is concerned, 1t con-
ta;ns not one SINGLE feature which can com
mend itself TO any class or any people in
this section. In fact, no one seems TO be
fully satisfied with il, and if il ever reaches
the President at all, il will, in all probable
ity, be so altered and modified by amend
ments that its own father would be unable
TO recognize il.
In many quarters IL is believed that the
strongest opposition TO the bill will come
from the Republicans themselves. The
Chicago News. Republican paper, says
of il that "seyeral of its features are
30 obnoxious that no party caucus
can secure united support for them. The
reimpositon Of duties on hides, for instance,
is utterly unacceptable TO the shoe and
leather manufacturers Of New England,
and their Republican representatives in
Congress will not dare to vote for it. The
tn-plate clause and the wool schedule are
also looked upon with intense disiavor by
the manufacturers Of the cast, and there are
other provisions in the bill equally unsatis-
factory 10 western Republicans. The Dem
ocrats need not bother themselves about
fighting the bill; the dissatisfied Republic
cans will do that for them. II will be for
tunaie for Mr.. Mckinley if his bill is not
amended 20 DEATH as senator Allison is
reported 10 have said It ought TO be-
This does not indicate that the bin will
have such plain sailing in Congress as some
of the Republican party organs predict; il
rather looks as if it was destined TO expert
ence very stormy passage.
