During 80 years Of Republican rule
Americanism aud American spirit

Among decent people, pugilism ha'

1t is, therefore, the more disgraceful
that sister Southern State should
thus hasten to invoke the renaissance
Of the disgusting sspug" by thus tender

For all this funny hustle and fluster
of its comic little Governor, and bis
threats Of dire vengeance on any in

or was bis palm crossed with some Of
the plentiful gold of the slugging
gentry? And then. how diverting his

since number OF them attended the

How much more admirable the ex-
amples set By the Sons Of Delaware.
Mr.. Richards, as Governor of Montana,
served timely notice on the sluggers
that they would be wise to keep away
from his State; while our own county
sheriff, William Herbert, single-handed

It is said that fight is being ar

Some persons of a sensitive nature
have expressed the fear that such a
course would be derogatory to Mr..
Corbett's standing as gentleman. ;"
We hasten to assure them that the
differences between a 'spugn white and
q npugn black, is too immaterial to-
merit serious consideration.
We hope that when this chocolate

A Great Work Accomplished.

BY many railroad men it was thought
that the reorganization of the Richmond
Terminal system was an impossibility.
and that, therefore, Drexel, Morgan &
Co. would fail in their undertaking.
The Richmond Terminal has ceased to
exist, and in its place we have the South
ern Railway, the reorganization of the
Richmond Terminal having been com
pleted last Saturday.
The Southern Railway begins its exist
ence under the most favorable auspices.
The country is just recovering from a
period of great business depression, and
with this recovery is connected the belief
that the south is about entering upon a
development of her vast, rich and varied
resources that will bring her almost mar
Vicious prosperity Consequently she is
regarded with great favor by home seek
ers and investment seekers. The money
of the east will be poured into her lap for
the purpose of working her mines, build
ing factories and developing her agricul-
tural resources.
The Richmond Terminal had q bonded
and floating debt of Sl35 ,0O0, 900 and fixed
charges amounting to $500, 600 per an
mum. Tie Southern Railway operates
$500 miles of railroad and $50 miles of
water line. 1t has for this year bonded
debt OF S94, 900 and fixed charges
amounting to 100000. The fixed
charges will be increased until 1896. when
they will be SIS, 400 200, Just 81, 100 600 less
than the fixed charges of the Richmond
Terminal were.
With such a reduction in fixed charges
and an immense saving in operating ex-
penses, together with greater business.
there is no reason why the Southern
Railway should not become a solid and
very prosperous corporation and aid in
building up the section of the south tribu-
tary 10 it.

Minister Denby's trousers.

"Isee that United States Minister DENLY
has been ordered back to his post in Japan
since war has been declared between that
country and China. said James b. Wheeler,
a travelling man from Indiana, 10 a St. Louis
Republic reporter. Minister DENLY and his
family have been spending vacation in this
country for few months. But this interms-
ton does not interest me so much as the
question, does Minister DENLY know whether
he wears striped trousers or not;
That's a mysterious question, did you
say: Well. III expla n I used 10 know Mr..
DENLY quite well when hs was a busy lawyer
IN Evansville, Ind. That town is his home
now. DENLY had a law partner and the firm
name was Denby & GarvIn. Garvin was not
only a law partner, but a chum Of DENLY. The
two men were inSeparable in both business
and pleasure. They we're Ike brothers. TO
use common expression. One morning Mr.
DenbY awoke rather late at home and called
Mrs DENLY to his room. When Mrs. DENLY
entered the room she was surprised TO see
her husband walking around and looking in a
dreamy way about him, as If he were in a
Whats the matter? Mrs. DENLY inquired
in a gentle tone Of voice
Where are those striped trousers of
mine can ind them, replied Mr.. DENLY,
as he looked about the room.
Why, you never wore any striped trous-
ers IN your life exclaimed Mrs. DENLY with
surprise.
why. certainly 1 have. replied Mr.
DENLY. Don't you remember sesing those
black and white strip sd trousers of m ne :?
wore them yesterday and wore them home
last night
WHY, my dear, you never had any striped
trousers-you are thinking of those striped
trousers that Mr.. Garvin wears, replied Mrs
DENLY.
you're right You're right exclaimed
Mr.. DENLY, as he seemed to regain himself
and pass from beneath some magic spell
that had controlled his mind.
1T seemed that Mr.. DENLY had become so
wrapped up in the companionship of his chum
and business partner Mr.. Garvin, that for
the moment he imagined he himself was Gar
vim. Not only was Mr.. DENLY taking unto
himself Mr. Garvins personality, but he was
under the impression that he owned Mr.. Gar
vim wardrobe.
Talk about thought transference, the pro.
lection of the astral body the trans migration
eff the soul and other like mysteries of the
Gunston hall cult. Why, DENLY was not only
assuming possession of Mr.. Garvins body
and soul, but also wanted his breeches."

A Thrilling Detective storv.

The government publishes q great variety
Of matter in the course Of a yelr. says the
Washington star, from Presidential mes
sages 20 a history Of diseases OF the gadhy,
ard the variety Of reading matter has been
increased within the past few days by the
publication o. a real detective story, with dia-
grams according to Gaborian.
This Is history Of the sandbagging and
robbery OF stamp clerk in the Chicago posi-
ONCE one dark night last winter, when the
wind was whistliug md the corner and the
Sleet dashing against the windows The story
OF the Cr.me and the vain search OF two gov
ernmenL sleuths for the criminal are given at
great length and in the minutest detail All
OF this is contained in pamphlet Of eleven
pages, accompanying a claim OF the late post
master for the amount OF the robyery, when
ne was comDel ed to make good. There are a
number OF diagrams to Illustrate the story.
One Of them SHOWS where the body OF the
clerk was found" the door where Miss
Jones came IN, the window where the rob
Der escaped, the door where the rob Der en-
tered and other minute details. Another
diagram shows the postal clerk as he stood
at his desk, but fails TO represent the robber
and the sandbag although everything else,
even TO Miss Jones desk is portrayed vi
wildly
Many pages Of closely printed type are
filed with the. history Of the EFFORTS OF the
government sleuths.
There were two theories 70 work upon, -
writes one Of them. First, that Robinson
mad robbed himself and indicted upon him
self the injuries to cover up his crime. or that
some one familiar with the once, and with
the habits of Mr.. Rol inson, had planned and
successfully put into execution the ROBBERY.
IealIed TO my assistance the superintendent
Of the Pinkerton agency Of this city. who rem
dered me every assistance in his power. with
out cost, to get some clue 10 the perpetrators
Of this bold robcerFy. We have worked upon
every plausible theory, but have failed to get
any clue TO LEAD us on a successful trail. "
the outcome Of the work on these two
theories Is reported rs follows:
The result Of the investigation in this case
has convinced me OF two things: First. that
1t was bona t1de robbery; secondV that ii was
conceived and planned. il not perpetrated, by
some one perfectly familiar with the work
sings OF that branch Of the postal department
in this city; but the plan was so we'll executed
that up to the present moment we have been
unable to get single clue that would fasten
the guilty party"
So the ROBBERY remains mystery, and the
thrilling story Of the two government sleuths
goes on file in the annals OF congress.
