THE PRIZE RING.

Senator DEANS bill forbidding spar
ring matches of every sort seems likely
to pass Tor want of opposition, if for no
other reason: and. as if III anticipation
OF interference close at hand the prize
ring is now enjoying the greatest pop
uIarity both in st. Paul and Mime
apoliS. The contests with fouT-ounee
gloves weighing two ounces draw to-
gether large crowds of people nightly,
and the interest in the details of the
fights is so general and so great that
the newspapers are compelled, in order
to crafty it, to encr0ach seriously on the
space which they try to reserve for
book reviews and art criticism. 1t is TO
be hoped that the patrons of literature
and other forms of intellectually will
not be disheartened by the apparent
neglect which is at present made Of
their interests. When Senator DEAN
has once put his heel down on
this accursed thing and our better
classes have more time to give to
other forms of diversion, there will. UNI.
dOubtedly be a strong reaction in favor
of mental as against muscular alertneSS.
Meanwhile, the attendance at debating
societies, dinner parties. germans and
art galleries is sadly interfered with.
The only way in which they CAN hope to
secure much attention in these days is
by arranging their hours so as MOTTO e0n
fict with the time set for the nightly
mills of the pugilists. Our leading eiti-
zenS are not Indifferent to the attrac-
tons OF the muses., but it is quite impoS-
slble for them to court them and at the
same time be at the Newmarket theater
seeing that the Marquis of Queensber-
rY's code meets with no ill-treatment.
The general feeling is that the muses.,
who date, anyhow, from the time of
HOMER. will keep; while, when Senator
DEAN has done his perfect work, grand
juries will be as discourteous and churl-
ish with the manly art as they have re-
Gently shown themselves toward the
roulette table While our better classes
have a good thing, they seem to believe
in enjoying it.

REALLY TOO BAD.

A deputy sheriff stood at the door OF
Court Room No. 2 all day yesterday, and
50 strict were his Instructions that even
an attorney found it difficult to gain adj
mission. This was not because anything
of sacred nature was tranSpiring within
from which the, profane should be eX-
Guided, but because the proceedings
were of so foul character that the pre-
siding Judge, as guardian of public
morals, considered it proper to have
them tried in secret session. Judge
KELLY did not finch from his duty. He
heard the case, however diStasteful it
was to him to do SO. out he spared the
public the shock and the decentralization
of attendance.
Judge KELLY has been peculiarly I'M
fortunate in having contests of this
character come before him. The Hal.
REID case was tried in his court. SO
was the BLATZ murder case, with It's
awful revelations of modern Sodom and
Gomorrah presented in panoramic brill
iancv. SO was the HORTON case, in
which every moment it seemed as
though some SalaciOuS material would
come to the surface. The nervous
strain of this. trial was exceptionally
trying to its auditors. They were con-
Stantly opening their parched jaws for
some toothsOme morsel which always
seemed close at hand, but which was
never realized The matter now on
trial, however, discounts them all. 1t
offers series of horrors which shall be
nameIess here forever more.
1t is not fair that Judge KELLY should
have to preside on all such occasions.
He will do it if he mas 10; but, of ali our
pure young Judges. he is the most partic-
uIarly pure young Judge we have. It is
too bad that he should term after term
have to spend his days in the midst OF
such unpleasant stuff. 1t IS doubtful
whether cases of this character ought
to be tried in our courts at all. Why
not refer them to the clerk or special
deputy to take the testimony and report
verdict? A de putty tough enough not
to mind the ordeal, and Intelligent
enough to give proper decision, could
probably be found, and Our judges
spared the task.

OF silver say the way
show that the increased value of gold is
the explanation is to apply the ordinary
law or supply and demand. The sup
ply of gold has not increased materially
during the past quarter of century.
while the demand has grown enor-
mously. The decentralization of silver
by Germany, the Latin Union and the
United States has made gold the only
currency of the civilized world, where
SILVER used to stand side by side with
III. ms condition of affairs must have
added to its value, for the value of any
commodity is regulated by the ratio of
the demand to the supply. The de-
mand for gold being greater and the
supply practically the same, it is of
necessity worth more than it used to be.
This reasoning is met by the answer
that really there has been no increased
demand for gold, because. while gold
may be the exclusive standard, it is not
in actual use to any greater extent than
it ever was before, nor for that matter
IL as great. The invention of modern
substitutes for coin, like checks, drafts
and vouchers of one kind and another,
have made it not only possible. but even
more convenient, to carry on business
without bullion at all, and thus it plays
but q. small part in the worlds com
mercial transactions to-day.
The GLOBE does not think that this
answer Is conclusive. It.is not neces-
sary to have the gold actually pass from
hand to hand to prove that it is in use
or in demand. The mere fact that it is
the universal standard creates senti-
mental demand, which is just as effect
i've in raising its value as real one. If
popular appreciation and desire for dia-
monds should increase. and the supply
remain the same, it would not be suffi-
Gent evidence that they were worth the
same to say that women did not wear
diamonds more or even as much as they
used to, or that there were not so many
sales Of them noted as at some previous
time. Things constantly appreciate in
costliness, not because they are more
used or more essential to comfort or
convenience, but simply because they
are rare and people think more highly
OF them, with or without good reason.
AS far as the law of supply and demand
gives any evidence, it is in favor Of the
view that gold has increased in value.

GOLD AND SILVER.

The advocates of the gold monetary
standard are constantly insisting that
gold has not increased ia value in re-
cent years. 1t is very hard to produce
any satisfactory evidence Oh the ques-
ton, either one way or the ether. Ii we
undertake to compare Its purchasing
power with what it was ten OF fifteen
years ago, we are confronted with the
difficulty that maybe it is not the gold
which has increased in value, but that
the commodities we are buying With it
have cheapened. If we cah buy more
sugar for gold dollar than we used to,
it will either be because gold has grown
more valuable or because improved
methods or some other causes have re-
duced the cost of producing sugar. But
how are we going to tell which is true?

AN IMPORTANT BILL.

Gen. G.. l.. BECKER, chairman of the
executive committee of the forestry as
ISOLATION, has drawn up a bill, now
pending in the legislature, asking for
an appropriation of merely 81, 500 per
year to be used for the promotion of
tree planting and culture under the
supervision of the forestry association.
The object. we understand, Is to revive
the efficient work done for forestry
under the leadership of the late l.. B.
IoDGES; organize forestry societies rs
auXiliaries, procure and distribute for
est literature. project missionary effort
in this enterprise, and ncite the
itcople everywhere to do what

forests from fires that destroy the
