Kelly Says

There is an old and true saying. q" We can
see the mote that is in the eye of our neigh
Dor. but fail to see the beam that is in our
own" That is how the people of this
country look to-day at the United States
senate.
1t is not the United States senate that
makes hard times, it is the business people
of this country that make hard times for
themselves and others. The Sherman bill
so much abused, has no more to do with
hard times than my bobtail cat had in rob
bling the Omaha express, and am safe to
predict that Won will have the silver dollar
as long as You live, because it buys more
flour to-day than gold ever has in the his
tory of the world. A little lecture to bust
ness man. Here is the method Kelly has
taken to improve the business of the Plat
Button company: Irving G. Plat. one of
the stockholders of the above concern and
at present owner of Irving block and a one
story building adjoining Kelly. said to
Platt If You will tear down that one story
building and build me a model bakery
will show you how you can make the but
ton business better. Plat said all right.
Now for an illustration. You see the man
who digs the celler buys q new shovel from
the hardware dealer the hardware dealer
must order another shovel from the factory
the factory callsln the hands to make the
shovel; the miner will have to call the
miners to mine the ore, and the miner S
wife will have to buy buttons to put on the
bows trousers, and the merchants will have
big order for Plat Button company. and
they will have to call in the girls to make the
buttons and the girls will have money to
buy Kelly's Queen Caramels, and Kelly can
CD to the Worlds fair. Plat was satisfied
with the illustration, and to-day there are
twenty-five men working on the building.
who otherwise would be sitting in the park.
This is proof that it is neither the senate
or the sherman bill that makes times poor.
Please don't say, Oh, pshaw but go right
along and do the business the same as yon
always have. and we will all be working by
and by. When you buy -four from Kelly
you buy direct from the mill. If you viii
give my man an empty barrel you can buy
il for $4.75.

Cardinal Gibbons Rejoices That They
Are No Closer in This Country.
The Catholic Club of Baltimore last night
In the Carrolton Hotel, by a grand corona
ton banquet, fittingly crowned the Jubilee"
of Cardinal Gibbons, archbishop Of Balti-
more. which has been celebrated during
the past two days in honor Of the compile
ton Of the twenty-fifth year Of the episco-
pate Of his eminence.
In the course of his remarks responding
to the toast The health Of the cardinal"
Cardinal Gibbons said. referring to the re-
lations between church and state: I'm no
country. perhaps has the difficult problem
been better solved than in theUnited States
that Of ma in tanning harmonious relations
between church and state. Here the church
and state run In parallel lines. They do
not conflict with one another. Here reli-
gion upholds the state by proclaiming the
distinct authority Of civil legislators and
holding them up to us as the representa-
tives Of God Himself. She declares that
there Is no authority but from God. She
sanctifies respect for civil laws by declaring
that obedience to civil authority is not a
servile homage paid to man. but the homage
of freamen paid to God. The state holds
over religion the aegis Of her protection
without Interfering with US in our God
given mission.
For my own part. do not desire to see
the relations between church and state any
closer than they are at present. l do not
wish to see the day when civil authorities
may be called upon to build our churches
and to substitute our colony, for then they
might dictate to us what doctrines we ought
to teach Every one admits that the United
States is free country, but they are not
SO ready to concede that we are strong
government also"
Senator German paid a graceful tribute
to the guest Of the evening and letter
was read from President Cleveland regret
ting that public business prevented his at
tendance. Secretary Smith also sent re-

WILL THERE BE A FIGHTf
County Omcials Say Not, but Sportin
People Not Much Disturbed

Souhsy oAnCAaAS S@y Not, Dut SpOEunR
People Not Much Disturbed.
The dispatches in yesterdays Star an
nouncing that the officials of Kings county.
New York. had determined to prevent the
Mitcheil-Corbett fight before the Coney Is
land Athletic Club were supplemented last
night by the statement that Governor Flow
er had put his foot down on the proposed
match.
On Wednesday Mr.. Mclaughlin Of Brook
Ign called upon the governor and they were
closcted for perhaps half an hour. AS a re-
suit Of this chat there was a conference yes
terday in which Mayor Body. Sheriff Court
ney. District Attorney Ridgway. John Y.
McKane. Corporation Counsel jerks and
several other Kings county officials par
ticipated. Soon afterward Mayor Boody
announced that the fight would not take
place In Kings county.
The owner Of the Coney Island Athletic
Club arena and at least half Of the island
worried over Mayor Boody's declaration
There is an old saying that John Y. Nc
Kane never allows himself to worry over
anything. Some of his statements will
cause many a well-posted sporting man
to smile.
I'VE never proposed to allow any such
thing as prize fight at Coney Island"
said he. 1--WE have never had such a
tnlng Wltnln the boundaries Graves
end. This, as 1 understand 1t, was SIM
ply to be an athletic exhibition, similar to
ones we have had there recently. / never
saw a real prize fight"
Then he said the most significant thing
that has been stated about the fight thus
far: Il think If you sift this matter thor
oughy," he remarked, you will find
that the reason the match is declared of,
as far as the Coney Island Club is con-
cerned, is because the boxers have not
posted forfeit"
1t will be seen that the man from Graves
end admits that the match is of so far as
the Coney Island Club Is concerned, but
his reason for shutting Corbett and Mitch
ell out Is a slim one. 1t is technically
true that the pugilists have not posted
the $4,000 forfeit each agreed upon, but
the money is still in the hands Of David
Blanchard of Boston.
Meanwhile McKane's lieutenants at Coney
Island are going on nonchalantly making
plans for the much-discussed contest book
ing orders for boxes and seats sent from all
parts of the country by well-known bust
ness men, theatrical managers. railroad
men and others, and generally conducting
themselves as If the distinction between
prediction pronunciamento and post-elec-
ton performance were commonly under
stood.
Corbett declares that he will go on train
ing just the same, and evidently regards
the declarations of the Kings county off,
Gals as merely ante-election bluff"
Mitchell suggests that the fight take place
in Cuba or Mexico. and that London prize
ring rules govern.
