JOHN l.. SULLIVAN is no longer cham pion. In the fight at New Orleans last night he was beaten in 21 rounds by James L. Corbett. Sullivan was badly punished by Corbett, who came out of the fight without scratch. While order-loving people do not rejoice over Corbett's vic- tory, they as certainly do not regret Sul- livan's defeat.

JUDGE l.. S. HYER, editor of the Union (Westfield, N. J.,) Democrat, in con- menting on the mention of Dr. Ripley by the Westfield Leader, as candidate for governor of New Jersey against John Kean, IT,, says: 'Mr. Ripleyis of an in- dependent turn of mind, politically, hay ing been a republican up to the time of Cleveland's first nomination, we believe. As there appears to be considerable di- vision of opinion in both the leading par ties, as to candidates, why couldn't they unite, for the sake of harmony, on MT. Ripley?" The suggestion of Dr. Ripley's name awakens much enthusiasm in that part of New Jersey.

The Fall Campaign on Dress Goods has now begun.
 You perhaps know what an invitation of that kind means here. To say that it's large stock says but little. But when we tell you that the va- l riety and exclusiveness of the stock is surprisingly large that means more. We might have told you something sim- liar before, yet it's meaning becomes more influential season after season. We say so because the growth of this department demonstrates the fact. You know that 1t is mere chance that we can't satisfy your wants in the Dress Goods line.
 In addition to the complete range of colorings and qualities of Cashmeres, Serges and Henrietta Cloths we have
 FANCY CREPON WHIPCORDs, considered one of the most fashionable dress materials of the season.
 PRUNELLA CLOTH, TWO-ToNED CORD, COLORED POPLINE, FAN BEDFORD CORDS, PARTI-COLOR- ED CORDS, HEAVY DIAGONAL and WIDE-WALE CLOTH. FRENCH PATTERN SUITS-Over two hundred colorings to select from, no two being alike.
 You can see them all, even if you do not care to purchase.

FATAL PnIZE PIOHT.
THE DIRECT TAX FUND.
Complaint from a Virginian and the
Secretary's Reply.

WASHINGTON, d. C.--Assistant Sccrc.
tary Nett'etou has received several com
plants that commissions arc being dc.
Quoted bv State officers for making pay
ments from the direct lax funds. One
of these letters is from w, N. Eggb )rn,
Eggbornvillc, Va. Replying to this let
ter Mr.. Nettleton writes:
You say that the treasurer of your
county in refunding the direct tax is do
Quoting per cent. as his commission,
and you ask if you are not entitled to
interest on the tax being refunded.
In reply you are informed that only

;uals it should DO returned In full by the
State authorities to the persons from
whom 1t was collected, or to their heirs
or legal representatives.
However, since the tax was paid to
the States the Attorney General has rem
dercd an opinion to the effect that all
penalty and interest collected should also
be returned 10 those from whom it was
collected i'll the same way. The depart.
mcnt is therefore preparing to refund to
the Governors Of States the penalty and
interest in the same manner and under
the same conditions that the tax was
refunded 1t must be understood, how
ever, that the interest mcnt: :Oncd is that
which was collected with the tax. and
not interest accruing since.

NO FLAG OVER FORT SUMTER.
Why the g. A. RS Request Is Not
Likely to be Granted.

WAsHINGToN, d. ca. the recent
Grand Army encampmcnt ia this city an
enthusiastic veteran introduced rcsolu-
tlon calling upon the Secretary of War
to hoist an American flag over Fort Sum
ter in Charleston harbor In the excite
ment of the moment the resolution went
through without opposition or investiga-
tior At the War Department to- day
the ..Iicf of engineers who has charge OF
the government Notifications was ques.
toned on the subject. He SAYS the
Secretary of War has not yet complied
with the resolution, nor is it likely that
he will. The army regulations provide
that the Union flag shall be displayed at
military posts and Notifications that arc
garrisoncd or occupied. Fort Sumter is
neither garrisoned nor occupied, and
therefore the Secretary of War has no
authority 70 doat a faQ- over it -nni----A--
Is prepared to garrison it with troops.
In further explanation of the non
appearance of a flag at Fort Sumter and
other practically abandoned forts. the
engineer officers say that serious foreign
complications might arise if the rcsolu-
tim adopted by the G. A. r.. encamp-
mcnt were carried out. For instance,
if the flag was hoistcd over Fort Sumter
iorclSh warshlp might visit the harbor
Of Charleston. In accordance with the
naval regulations Of the world, the for
cign warship would salute the American
flag and exp ct similar salute in return
The foreigner could not be expected to
know that Fort Sumter was unoccupied
and was simply floating its countrys
flag as matter of sentiment. Not hav-
ing his salute acknowledged, the for
cigncr would be justified in charging this
country with discourtesy, and would
have right to demand an. explanation.
The ordnance sergeant stationed there
could hardly return a foreign warship's
salute with an old muskct or revolver
which he might have with him in his
quarters for his personal protection.
When the Secretary Of War refers the
resolution to the Chief Of Engineers he
will probably receive an answer contain
ing the substance of the foregoing state.
