THE LAwLEssNEss AT ST. PAUL.

THE LAWLESSNESS AT ST. PAUL.
Archbishop Ireland's vigorous denun-
citation of the brutality and animal
ism'' of the prize ring, and his public
activity against it, do that prelate
credit. That the people of st. Paul could
not bring the local authority up to the
courageous notch is to be regretted, but
that so many as 5000 of the citizens of the
place met in mass assembly and pro-
tested against the bratalizing exhibition,
indicates that the people are not in
sensible to the injury the cultivation of
the slogging craze is doing to the genera
ton. There is hope that these beastly
contests may yet be put under the heel of
public sentiment. Mayors who are sub
servient to the vicious elements may flee
from their jurisdiction, as did the Mayor
of st. Paul, in order to avoid the duty of
enforcing the law; but there will come
time when there will be no Mayors who
owe their political honors to the criminal,
brutal and lawless classes. 1t cannot be
that with all the weightiness of the prob
lem of municipal government that our
cities are to be forever managed from
the slums.
Since the foregoing was written and in
type, news is at hand that the Sheriff at
st. Paul. by direction of Governor Mer-
| riam, notified the offenders that the Hall
Fitzsimmons prize fight would not be
! allowed to take place. The Governor de-
clared that he would stop it if he had to
call into play the militia force of the
State. Thereupon the fight was aban-
doned. This firm stand by the Governor
and Sheriff should receive the plaudits of
/ the people of the Union, and encourage
/ other officials to like vigor in duty doing
When the weakkneed Mayor of ST. Paul
returns, he should be received with the
scorn and expressed contempt of the peo-
ple
/ An astonishing phase of this affair was
the cool proposition made by the offend
! ers, that arrests be made, bonds be ac-
cepted, and the fight be permitted to go
on, that the Athletic Club might not suf-
4 fer loss. That is to say, a burglar pro-
poses to break into residence and sug-
gests that he be arrested, bailed, and then
be permitted to go on with the commits
sion of the crime that he may not lose the
cost of his tools. The cases are precisely
parallel and differ only in the matter of
penalties.

OUR UNPLEASANT CONDITION

Californians are in peculiar, an un-
pleasant, if not a pitiable condition.
Here we are living in the chief fruit
growing State the season is a good one
luscious fruits overburden the orchards;
the finest yield of our history is upon
us, but we cannot even taste the splendid
fruits of which we are so proud. Nay,
we cannot even see them, except we visit
the orchards and packing houses. Here
we are starving in the midst of plenty,
thirsting for fruit, but not permitted to
even feast our eyes upon it.
Scarcely primo fruit enough can be
purchased in the local markets to-day
to make single dish. Third-rate, re-
jected and ordinary fruits are to be had,
but even these are high-priced. The
miserable stuff set before US now is of
The record-union., 1891-07-23

the kind that three or four years ago we
fed to the hogs. The greenish, sickly
looking peaches that do not even blush
in their shame, which marketmen offer
US, are enough to turn the stomach of the
lover of good fruit. A few poor nectar
ines, some measly apricots and toler-
ably fair specimen of plums are obtain
able-that is all. The housewife has her
jars AM cans all in order for the seasons
putting up' Of fruits, but the dust set
ties upon the glasses, the kettles are un-
used and the sugar remains in the gro
Gerry bin.
There are children growing up in Cali
| fornia at the fruit centers who wonder
ingly hear the tradition that California
grows more bountifully than any other
part the most luscious fruits, but these
children are not destined to learn OF
them by actual inspection, much less by
taste. In fact, in the very midst of
glorious fruit plenty, with the juicy pro-
ducts at our very lips, we cannot so
much as breathe their aroma.
sAnd the reason of this state Of woe is
that our best fruit all goes East. The
ragged children of the Chicago alleys for
a few cents can indulge in luxuries that
grow at our doors, which for dollars and
| gold we cannot enjoy. The fruit grow
ers' prime crops come on by classes all at
once, and as they are all sold to the fruit
shippers, they pick the best and leave the
rejected to be offered to the people at
home. That is the long and the short of
the story. Even if the grower takes pity
upon our misery he cannot relieve us, for
his crop is under contract, and he dare
not violate 1.-THE punishment in coin
would be too much to bear. So it is
likely to go on. Hundreds Of cars loaded
down with our fruits roll eastward every
week, but not so much as single car
dropped in the cities of San Francisco or
Sacramento. A local dealer cannot
take an orchardist's entire crop, for the
very good reason that he cannot dis
pose of it in time after it is ready for
market. But the shipper can take doz-
ems of orchards under contract, and pay
for every pound of fruit, and lose none of
| it, because he distributes it's sale over
States and Territories by the dozen.
If our fruit shipping interests are to
continue in growth. local consumers
must do something to protect the taste
for the prime fruit article, or it will be-
come strange to the people of the greatest
of fruit-growing States. But what can be
done-pay the price, outbid the East for
enough fruit Of prime quality to give us
at least taste? That is out of the ques-
ton, and would limit indulgence to those
with fat purses only. There is one other
remedy, and that is cooperation by local
| dealers, to take a few prime crops for
home consumption. By that means dis
tribution can be effected, and small
showing at least kept here to give stran-
gers proof that we do not falsify when we
tell them of the splendid fruit producing
capacity of the State.

THE czAR'S sHoT-PRooF CAR.
How the Emperor OF Russia Travel:
Among His Loving Subjects.

I1OW tHe emperor OF ltuSSIa travels
Among His Loving Subjects.
When the Gar travels in Russia the
precautions taken for his safety could not
be greater If he were in the enemy's
country. A battalion OF infantry is de-
tailed for every two miles of distance,
and allowing 500 men as the effective force
OF each battalion, every spot of ground
on both sides of the track is covered by
sentinels within easy distance Of each
other. The Car is suddenly whirled off
to the station, accompanied by the chosen
twelve of his body-guard, without pomp
or circumstance, swiftly and silently.
The Car always travels in a train of five
carriages. His carriage is built in Pc
culiar style.
The windows while ample for light, are
high, so that a person sitting down is in
visible from the outside, and the sides of
the car are fortified with plates of steel
concealed in the ornamental woodwork,
but amply strong to resist a bull
let There are two Sentry-boXeS in the
carriage, one at each end, and each look
ing out at an opposite side from the other.
The guardsmen on duty in these apart
ments are shut in from any observation
OF the interior OF the'carriage, but at in
teryals OF about two feet the whole length
OF the saloon, are electric buttons COM
munlcating with the guard chambers, as
well as with the two carriages, one con-
tanning the suite and the other, in the
rear, occupied by the guardsmen not on
duty. So far, therefore, as the train itself
is concerned, the Gar could be no more
secure in ST. Petersburg.
The train speeds OH to its destination
without halt, except on account of ac-
cident. AT distance of not less than five
miles ahead is pioneer train, in which
the Imperial Director of Railways and
the Chief Engineer of the particular rail-
way on which the Gar is travelling,
always ride. AS the pilot train whizzeS
by the reserves along the line rush to
arms and guard the sides of the railway,
waiting until the imperial train has
passed, so that the spectacle is presented
of continuous lines of soldery for hum
dreds of miles. Arrived at the end of his
journey, the Gar is escorted to the quar-
ters intended for the imperial family
The streets are guarded by special Con-
stables in the attire Of citizens. Every
properly owner has been called upon to
supply one or more of these men at his
own expense TO do duty when the SOW
ereign makes public appearance. The
COnstables average one in ten of the
crowd that throngs the streets, and being
i'll ordinary dress they can mingle with
the people, note what is said, and, per-
haps, do something that Will obtain them
regular employment among the secret
police. With one-tenth the population
engaged as spies upon the remainder
with troops enough concentrated to stand
a formidable siege, and his faithful guards
men dogging every step, the Car goes
through the forms of visit to the ancient
Capital Of Russia or whatever city he
may choose to honor.-Philadelph Tele-
