LAW AND ORDERS VICTORY.

Generally speaking there will be no re-
gret among respectable American citizens
this morning when they learn that the in
tended glove contest or battle between
the Australians, Hall and Fitzsimmons,
was prevented That the guardians of
the law at st. Paul did right is beyond
question, and we trust that their veto will
be step toward closing up entirely all
those so-called athletic clubs
There is an abundance of professional
bruisers in the United States to violate our
statutes of law and order without import
ing Australians for that purpose. Of
late Americans have been remarkable for
their generosity in contributing thousands
of dollars to pugilistS of any nationality
whatever; and it is worthy of note that
Just as often as they have contributed they
have been more or less deluded and
swindled
But there is another feature of the stop
ping of yesterdays fight. 1t was rebuff
to one of those so-called clubs. These or
CARNATIONS are without exception frauds.
They are merely professional gamblers
banded together with the object of max
ing money by direct violations of the law.
1t is, indeed, very singular that, consider
ing how long prize fighting has been pro-
hibited, that these fights, which are in all
respects the most brutal, have been al
lowed to go on. This has been glaring
inconsistency fora long time, and we trust
that we are about done with it.

A Georgia Snake Story.

There Is story going the rounds down in
Georgia that the other day one of three
ladies, while crossing a road, accidentally
stepped on a snake. The serpent coiled it
self tightly around the lady's ankle, says the
Nashville american, and the effect was elec-
trical. His snakeship had hoped on a dyn-
amo without knowing it. The lady turned
on the power and after describing two o.
three sharply elongated circuits with her
heel in mid air the snake, unable to stand
the pressure, relaxed his grip and sailed
back to earth and fell near lady No. 2. He
rather liked the fun and immediately
hitched on to No. in the same manner.
The curtain was rung up and the fun beg an
without delay. Sizz went the lightning
pedal violently, with an engine lever motion,
and swash went his snakeship through the
air Unable to hold on he turned loose, and
dropped at the feet of No. 3. Quick as
thought he tackled the next dynamo with
the same result Here it occurred for the
first time to the gallant little snake that he
was in Georgia. and that Georgia girls were
electrical, and that Georgia people are never
SO happy as when they can tell a lie on a
SNAKE and that about the best thing he could
do just then was to escape to the woods be-
fore he was sized up and examined carefully
for rattles. After thanking the ladies for
the entertainment he made his bow and
sought the timber. This is the gist of this
Georgia story with many of the details
omitted.

BRING 1T TO TRIAL

4 suit brought in the courts yesterday

which should be promptly submitted to

Tor $500, which it is alleged by the plaintiff
N&s paid to VIM. Langhurst, a former

The allegation is further introduced that

stated that half was to go to the then Dis

THE HEBREW IsIMIGRANTs.

There is a general tendency to object
to the importation of Russian Hebrews to
this country, as to most others. This is
natural, because of the character in which
they present themselves. They are very
close approach to pauper immigration, be-
ing expelled from Russia in destitute
condition. They are assisted immigrants,
having to rely upon European charity for
their passage to whatever country they
settle in; and, finally, they are to great
degree ignorant of our customs and Ian
guage.
Under these circumstances it is natural
that there should be general objection to
the receipt of this class of immigrants.
If they are to come here and add to the
swarms already congesting the alleys and
tenements of our cities, the objection is
well founded and their own welfare as
well as that of this country will be served
by keeping them out. But there are some
aspects of the immigration which put
different phase on it.
In the first place the immigrants are
largely of the agricultural class, and of
class, too, whose painstaking cultivation
which the rather reckless cultivation of
our native farmers leaves to go to waste.
The Hebrew colony near Vineland, New
Jersey, is a case in point of how waste
land can, by this careful frugality, be
brought to the support of a considerable
population. There is plenty of room in
this country for farmers of this class as
well as for agricultural labor generally.
1t is one of the evidences of the false
tendencies of the times, that the undesira-
bic immigration of the past few years,
which might have been made useful and
permanent by fixing itOn farms of its own,
has made a floating proletarian element by
employing it in hordes without giving it
a definite and fixed home. 1t has been in
dustriOusly kept at the work to which it is
best fitted, where it is least needed, and
where it has least chance to improve,
while the farming lands which might make
it a permanent and improving population
have been left uncultivated.
If Hebrew immigration is conducted on
the plan proposed by Baron Hirsch, of
settling the immigrants on small farms of
their own, they can be made very useful
addition to our agricultural population. If
they are to be dumped into the cities and
left there, of course they are not wanted.
Unfortunately our absurd immigration
law does not draw the distinction needed
The nearest approach that it makes doing
so is drawing the distinction so as to let in
the cheap labor that it was designed to
keep out, and to keep out those brought
here under auspices that will make pro-
vision for them where they can harm no

of Bob Burdette and the late Thomas A

Times. Several years ago, while the Ia

THE SUGAR TRUST MAY DISSOLVE.
The Opposition of Stakeholder TayIer to the
Proceeding Is Unavailing.

NEW YORK, July 22.-In the proceedings in
stituted in the Supreme Court in Brooklyn
by the Brooklyn Sugar Refining Company for
its voluntary dissolution, which was op-
posed by James A. Taylor, former stock
holder in the company, Judge Cullen this
morning decided that there was no evidence
of a scheme to defraud Mr.. Taylor, and that
formal evidence required for the purpose of
a dissolution should be taken. Judge Cullen
decided, however, that Mr.. Taylor might be
regarded as an interesting party in the pro-
ceeding. The examination of witnesses was
begun and will be continued tomorrow.
The decision this morning is understood
virtually to permit the dissolution of the
company, the facts alleged in it's petition re-
manning to be proved. Mr.. Taylor con-
tended that the property of the Brooklyn
Sugar Refining Company, worth more than
g. 900 900, had been sold to the American
Sugar Refining Company for $500, 900 in bonds
of that company, and that its capital stock
was sold to that company for $500, 200 in the
the rights of James A Taylor as d stock
holder of the Brooklyn Company. He
further alleged that Claud Doscher, Henry
Offeman and Julius A. StursbuTg,as trustees,
held 1876 shares of stock of the sugar Rein
cries Company belonging to Mr.. Taylor,
which he had received for stock in the
Brooklyn Company. They had refused to
return it to him upon his offer to pay for it,
and if the voluntary dissolution were per-
mitted to go on he would have no redress.
The Attorney General was the proper per-
son, he claimed, to institute the dissolution
proceedings.

The recent intimations that, though Lord

Conservatives are getting ready a platform

trust the reported intimation that at the
next session Mr. Balfour will bring in a
bill practically conceding home rule for
Ireland.
Considering that the Salisbury Cabinet
won its seven years lease of power by at
lacking Mr.. Gladstone for his support of
li0me rule, and that they have retained it
by the support of the Liberals who
were opposed to that measure, the flop
Of the Government to the plan of local
self-government would be a sufficiently
radical one. But it would be by no means
out Of line with Tory precedents. Peel
and Disraeli did the same thing in their
career. The history of politics in Eng
land has, even more than in the United
States, exhibited the progress effected by
persistent agitation In favor of a reform.
Here the opponents of a reform are con-

fact by their own repeated defeat. There
the opponents of the reform become con-

adopting it.
Of course if the Tories adopt the home

that they may by that means carry the
