10 WHAT Tie name OF the cOnDtn6Q Town
should be. ''Paulopolis, " "Minnepaul"
and "MinnepaOla' have all been favor
ably considered; but since the blottipg
there remains no doubt that the name
should be Sainte Minnie.-Cincinnat
Enquirer.
There is one striking feature about
the st. Paul prize fight fiasco. Both the
principieS-eXpectant are satisfied that
there was something behind the opposi-
ton, and each is absolutely certain that
the other fellow ought to explain
Omaha World-Herald.
Nr
1t is greatly to the credit of st. Paul
that the sentiment of the better element
was sufficiently strOng:to prevent the
Hall-FitZsimmonS prize fight. 1t proves
that the majesty of the law can be
maintained against the widest clamOrS
of thugs and plug-uglieS. After the
bruise was declared off in st. Paul,
word was wired to Mayor Fulton that
the hight was to be transferred to Hud-
son. He promptly notified his inform
ant that Wisconsin had rigid and whole
some laws Oh the subject, and he would
see that they were inforced to the let
ter. Good for the mayOr.-Hudson Star
and Times.
st. Paul owes her name to a religious
Zealot, and therefore could consistently
break up the arrangements for a brutal
prize fight. She might have been less
deliberate about it, however, and so have
saved the sports and adventures who
bought railroad tickets to that city and
pa hotel and bar bills while there a
considerable sum of money.-Omaha
Bee.
The virtue of Gov Merriam is spas
modic. One day no attention is paid to
prize fight i'll Minneapolis, and the
next day he is filled with Yirtuous indig-
nation over the prospect Of a ''knOck-
out'' in ST. Paul. Wonder if the COVER
nor doesn't know that Minneapolis is in
Minnesota?-Superior Call.

If the Minneapolis Tribune will read
the parable of the woman taken In
adultery where Christ said: HE who
is without sin cast the first stone," it
may not SDeer SO much at st. Paul over
the Hall-Fitzsimmons fight. The fact
is, that for months disgusting bruising
matches have been held in Minneapolis
almost weekly, and not word Of pro-
test has the Tribune uttered. 1t GER
tainly took wonderful amount of cheek
on the part of the Tribune to throw
stones at st. Paul on the subject of
prize Neutrality-suspicious. Herald.
Perhaps Gov. Merriam's reserved box
was not situated so as to give him a good
view of the ring. The governor is some
thing of kicker in sporting Matters
Chicago Mail.
1t is we'll known that all the state and !
county officials concerned were we'll in
formed as to the intentions of the Min
nesota Athletic club and would have at
tended the exhibition if they had not
been forced to carry out the provisions
of the law by the use Of means even be-
yond their constitutional pOwers.-Du-
luth Tribune.
As for the Minnesota Athletic club,
their immense building, costing several
thousand dollars, can now be turned
into skating rink. or a camp meeting
pavilion. There isn't so much money
in these affairs as there would be in a
glove fight. but the governor wouldn't
interfere at the eleventh hOur.-Shako- |
pee Courier.
st. Paul people have been deprived of |
the luxury of seeing the Fitzsimmons-
Hall prize fight, the religious people |
making such hubbub about the affair |
that the authorities were obliged to pre- |
vent it from coming off Wednesday |
night. Those who were so much inter |
ested in stopping it would have showed |
better taste had they made their OBJ
jections when the fight was first an
nounced instead of waiting until the |
last minute.-SwIft Monitor.
