The true inwardness of the dirty work done
by Woods, of Denver, of the Parson Davis
combination came to light last evening. 1t
develops that Davis has it III for Moth, who
got such rough treatment, and Woods went
in with instructions to give him a drubbing.
Moth was licked in the third, but Woods
HADN'T carried out his instructions yet, SO he
had to follow Moth through the ropes and
pound him some more, after he had been
counted out. The Parson telegraphed Evan
Lewis after the fight that Moth had been
cutfed to peak, and Lewis, who fervently
hates Moth, is supposed to have Rugged him
self with delight when he heard about it.

BETTER COME WEST.

1t seems that there have been in
stances of really serious annoyance to
American travelling in Italy, growing
out of the sympathy of class with the
fellows who were disciplined at New
Orleans. Mr.. JACQUES, Massachusetts
man, with his little daughter, was stoned
by mob in the streets Of Florence, with
shouts of death to the Yankees: let
US lynch them" The authorities made
every effort to prevent the facts becom-
ing known. Blood was found upon the
passports. A chance is afforded for
some dramatic and rhetorical bristling
on this side, If it is worth while. Still,
it would not be a grave misfortune if
American travel left Italy, and the other
side of the wafer generally, out of its
route for time. The conveniences
are now sufficient to make it pleasant to
roam among the unsurpassed wonders
OF the West.

THE THIRST FOR GOLD.

The European thirst for gold, of
which the GLOBE spoke couple of
weeks ago, continues undated, and
there is the most alarming demand for
the precious metal reported from every
quarter. This is characteristic of pc
Rod of financial diStrust. Ali the coun-
tries in the world seem bent On increas-
ing their coin reserve as precaution
against a time when the ordinary in
struments of exchange will not be avail
able because of general lack of con-
fidence. When people feel sure of each
others credit. comparatively small
volume of actual money is sufficient for
the transaction of tremendous amount
of business. But when there is doubt
about the solvency of banks, it is not
safe to be without alarge supply of coin,
lest demand should be made for it,
and its absence should precipitate a
panic. No one in Europe feels sure as
yet that the end of the South American
troubles has been reached, and each
country is preparing itself, that it may
be strong enough to meet any strain
still to come.
During the last ten days sS,00o,0o0 in
gold has gone from London to st.
Petersburg, and a demand for 7,5o0, 900
from the same quarter had been made
which will have to be met early in
July. The Russian government is
also reported to have called on the
RoTHsCBILDs for the gold it has
with them, and theyin turn are
drawing quietly on tie United
States, that they may be ready
for the situation. During the last ten
days, also, S1.OOO,0o0 of gold has gone
from London to Austria, and Bradstreets
states a rumor to the effect that this is
the beginning of movement on the
part of the Austrian government to get
its currency on gold basis. Whether
or not this is true. there is no doubt
that the Russian government is
actuated in its course to some
extent by such a desire to raise
the value OF its monetary standard.
Anybody but gold bug can see where
all this is leading to. If every nation IN
the world insists on having gold, and
the lack of general confidence makes a
large volume of coin essential for the
transaction of business, the demand for
gold will become so great that its value
will be infinitely increased, and its sup
ply utterly inadequate for the market
needs. A period of unutterable distress
will ensue, unless wise legislation will
suggest some remedy. The worship of
gold has before this plunged men and

Spouse might be of similar character
1t is alleged by some who affect to

would remain in the White house a sec
ond term, that the relations of the two,

ton of indianapolis as the place Of

due to any geographical convenience.
ii there had been no expectation of
publicity another location would have
been chosen. The secrecy was to be
preserved only in the event that it
seemed impossible to organize formi-
dable movement against HARRISON. 1t

almost serene sky, and it is doubtful if
the president yet fully realizes its sig
nificance. 1t makes a crisis inevitable.
Disclaimers that BLAINE instigated or
approved the movement are unimpor-
tant. 1t was held under his eyes, as it
were. He must either accept the status
it demands or affirm his loyalty to the
president, and prohibit the use of his
name. 1t is not to be presumed that he
believes that his physical condition will
allow of his candidacy, but that will not
relieve his attitude of It's hostility to
the president. Unless he declares him
self explicitly in the matter, he will
stand as the central figure of the oppos-
ing elements. He cannot afford to allow
his friends to do useless work in his
name.

GIBBONS A WINNER.
The American Boy Easily Main
tainS His SUPREMACY.

LONDON, June 16.-A glove contest
took place at the Pelican club tonight
between Gibbons. of New Jersey,
who was the favorite at to
4, and Jim Verol, an English boxer.
Verol, who had an unbroken record of
victories, is of the same age as Gibbons,
but of Sturdier build and scaled the
allowance of 134 pounds fully,
Gibbons being 100 pounds. In the
first round Verol had slight
advantage, in the second Gibbons got
in telling blow on Verors jaw, after
which the latter had great difficulty in
sustaining hostilities until time was
called. In the third round Verol
made gallant stand, but Glib
bons very easily maintained his
supremacy. In the fourth round Verol
again responded smartly, but he was
unable to come to time after another of
Gibbons left-handers, and the contest
was awarded to Gibbons. Neither of
the men showed much sign of punish
ment. Gibbons won $1,000.

INDIANS NoT ALIENS.

The old Know Nothing or race spirit
crops out queerly at times. The attempt
to make a political issue over the inn
position of new barriers to immigration
from the old world has broken down.
The people have seen the effects of
such narrowneSS in several past eraS.
They have no Intention to fasten up the
doors that so many of them came in by.
Decent and industrious hOme-Seekers
can breathe the freest atmosphere of
the political world. There is little dis
sent to the proposition that the freedom
seekers of the world can come, if they
are capable of being useful to the coun-
try and self-sustaining There shall be
no reproaeh for their neglect to be born
in this country. But there was an ex-
hibition the other day of this exclusive
spirit in novel quarter. There is a
beet sugar plant at Norfolk, Neb.-the
most extensive. perhaps, this side of
California. In that vicinity the govern
ment has an industrial school for train
ing Indians. The superintendent re-
ports that he had contracted with the
beet company to employ a lot of his
Indian boys to pull weeds among the
beets at the same wages paid white
hands. This caused commotion in
Norfolk, and the laboring people held
an indignation meeting and adopted
ringing protests against the employ
ment of Indians or other alien labor"
i'll the humble avocation of pulling
weeds. What sublime cheek, to call the
Indians, the descendants of the people
who held this country further back than
the historical eye can reach, aliens!
The immediate party in charge was in
clined to yield to this clamoI, but the
commissioner put his foot down on it.
If the Indian has not right to work
and live in this country, it is not be-
cause he was not here first. To speak
of him as an alien is perversion of
language. When the analysis is made
the Indian can score many complaints
of injustice at the later corners who
have been crowding him out of his
ranges; but when he wants to work
like the white and make his own living
there should be encouragement af-
forded.

NOE TIRED OF THEM

Those who expect to see the Brit
tSh throne totter at an early day. as they

privileges of the Briton to grumbIe.
and while he exercises it most freely
when in other lands. he is by no means
retIcent and lamb-like at home. The
English are kicking at the baccarat
banker because he has made an ex
hibition of himself, and brought disre-
pute upon station that they hire him
at high wages to fill. They feel like
kicking at him. and they kick and growi.
This is not only as relief to their feel
ings, but to alarm him into keeping the
mantle of decorum between his private
frailties and the public eye. 1t is a
Dlunder on the part of the
prince to attempt the bravado role. He
had better show some senSibility, and
give the grumblers chance to think
that he has some recognition of the pub
lie demands of his position. 1t would
not be insisted that he shall put ON the

The monarchy is but a pithless leg
acy of power, an ornament and
advertisement. AS a figurehead it is
conspicuous, and must be kept pleasing
10 the eye. The prince is prodigally paid
