THE NEW ORLEANS PKIzE FIGHTS.
The recent pugilistic carnival held at New
Orleans furnishes an occasion for some re-
Election and little moralizing.
We do not know what the laws Of Louis
lana are touching the matter of prize tight
irg, but we do know chat for six months it
has been advertised all over the country
that the greatest prize fight the world ever
saw would take place openly in New Orleans
on the 7th day of September, A. ID. 1892,
aud we do know that it did take place on
the evening of that day in the heart of the
city. under the patronage and protection of
its municipal authorities, and in the pres
ence OF az immense assemblage. containing
perhaps. ten thousand souls We are fairly
warranted, therefore, in believing that
Louisiana's laws conniye OF and encourage
pugiliSm as Il fine art. which is. perhaps
not to be wondered at in State which fur
nishes home for the most gigantic and
corrupting lottery organization the world
ever saw.
We are not disposed to impeach the right

laws to suit themselves. and if it were posi-
BILE for the other States of the Union to
quarantine against the bad influence of such
institutions as her laws foster we should
have nothing Whatever to say upon the sub
ject.
Unfortunately it is not possible to do
this. The telegraph reports to all the news
papers IN America tidings of what takes
place at New Orleans prize fights and lot
terry drawings and these spread them broad
cast through the people. and thus what
New Orleans does TO prostitute morals and

Holm O. WHITTIER.

The death of the alleged poet. John G.
Whittier. causes little comment in this sec
ton of country, and recollections of him
here, or anywhere else, for that matter, will
be Of brief duration. He was rather clever
at versfcation and had more Imagination
than the average newspaper bard but moth
ing inspired by bis invention or cbronlcled
by his verse will hold attention by reason of
its own merit. So far as he may be recol-
lected at all il will be because he palmed
of lie upon the people Of the United States
and did nothing whatever TO dsabuse their
minds after ne had it proved to him that he
was circulating lie.
The Barbara Frietchie incident never hap
pened. There was an old woman named
Barbara Frietchie who lived at Frederick,
Md, but she was as everyday an old lady
as ii is possible TO find, and even if her SEN
timents were upon the side of the Union.
concerning which the record is entirely
silent. she was not of the sort to make any
stir about the matter. and in point OF fact
made absolutely none.
No doubt some sensationalist told Whit
tier the flag incident. and when be wrote
his verses he may have believed it to be
true. But Frederick is a small place ald
many of its inhabitants knew Mrs. FrietchIe,
and they knew the thing had never happen
ed. Promptly therefore, public contradic-
ton was made of bis account OF it. but that
made no difference Whittier had his
chance to tell about something that ought
TO have happened. from his standpoint. and
it Was of no consequence to him whether it
actually happened or not lie had sensa-
ton to spread abroad and that is enough for
any Yankee. Accordingly lie put out bis
tale of woe. and from that time to this the
falsehood has stood side by side with tho
contradictions. Whittier doing all in his
power to keep the falsehood alive. while
truth was slowly but surely undermining
1t and bringing it to its grave; and of such
is the Yankee poet wherever found.
