[Riverside Enterprise.
The difference then between pugilism
and football would seem to be that the
former is vulgar and brutaliZing because
practlced by Drawn without brains, while
the latter is fashionable and ennobling.
because Its devOtees are supposed to be
young men of education and culture, or
at least are representatives OF universe
ties where those attalnments are fostered.
1t Is certainly desirable that many
sports should form prominent part in
the training of American youth. Even
rough football with its boundless possi-
biitles OF sprainS and Druises-there need
De nothing worse if it is properly played
is preferable to dudism and etfeminacy.
But when so-called sport becomes dis
play OF savagery such as was witnessed
IN the game last Saturday, it is high time
for the Notwithstanding or polica-to
interfere.
SALABLE FAME.
lColuSa sun.
1t has been the habit of women who get
famous or infamous SO as to gain notori-
ETY., TO go upon the stage Madeline
Pollard tried it and was ruled out; iol-
lowing, however, in her footsteps, Col
onel breckenridge, SO it is announced, is
to make money out of his notoriety III the
Pollard case and will make lecturing
tour of the country. When fame be-
comes OF salable sort why not sell it?
IN some cases it is cash capital. But if
the Colonel succeeds in his scheme why
may not Madeline follow suit and make
money out of the remnants of her reputa-
ton?
NO CONTEST.
Los Angeles Times.
The talk about contesting Mr.. Budd's
nl cot if.Fa
is very lutte likelihood that any such con-
test VIII be made, and less likelihood that
1t would result in unseating Mr.. Budd ii
1t were made. II there be strong evidence
OF frauds such as would have changed the
result OF the election, Mr.. Estee or his
representatives would be justified III TAX
ing the matter into the courts or before
the Legislature. But the evidence of such
frauds nave to be practically conclusive
TO warrant contest which would throw
the State into such excitement and con-
fusion as would unsettle business and in
cite great deal OF partisan rancor. No
evidence has yet been brought to light
which would justify contest.
IN 1886.
Marysvile Appeal
AS a matter Of plain, honest fact no
sane Democrat really has the taintest nope
OF success Tor his party i'll 1896. Even if
the Republicans were as handy in conf
mitting blunders in crises, in which
blunders are particularly disastrous, as
the Democrats always have BEEN the
chance to commit them is lacking now.
The Republicans will not be III control of
the Government. For the next two wears
the Democrats Wlll hang on TO the Presi-
dency, and by coalition with the POpu-
lists, If they make one, they will retain
their sway in the Senate. All that will be
III Republican hands is the House. The
/
any partisan legislation, and, OF course,
they will attempt none. BY no possi-
bllity that can at all be foreseeu can the
republicans do anything IN the next two
years 10 hurt their chances in the next
election. Undoubtedly the kepublican
party Will regain complete control OF the
Government III 1896.
THE MINING QUESTION.
iColusa Sun.
1.-The courts seem TO have iniunctions
on tap tor nearly every thing, and a few
years ago they put a plug Iuto the noz-
zie OF the miners hydraulic pipe" Thus
spoke the President OF The San Era ancisco
board of Trade in his welcome to the
members of the Miners Convention at a
banquet rendered said members by the
merchants of the metropolis. This
was to deride the courts for undertaking
to restrain the flow of debris into the
tributaries OF our navigable streams. Had
1t not been for these inJuncticns, whether
on tap or by the case, there would now
have been no Sacramento River; no Sac
raInento City; no MarySville, no growth
except willows, upon tens of thousands
OF acres of agricultural land. The .Su7I
does not like the idea OF playing, even for
week, upon harp OF single string,
does not like to be put III the position OF
antagonizlng any industry i'll this great
State, but the boom IN public sentiment
III favor of the resumption of hydraulic
mining at any cost; Of taking the plug
out OF the nozzle, calls for serious thought
by the people of this locality. The Sun
Will do more than any paper of its means
towards devlsing measures for the re-
sumption of mining, but Ii does not want
II done under any Whoop; does not intend
that IL shall be done at the cost of nayioa-
ton, at the cost of tie fertility of this
valley.
MQUAID-IRELAND.
Tulare Register.
Ireland is right and McQuaid is wronc
but every discussion of the kind within
the Catholic Church is welcomed by
Topics as wholesome sign, a sign that
the all-pervading spirit of liberty is
llberalizlng that heretofore very con-
servatiye but powerful body OF men aud
women.
KNEW IT WOULD COME.
Oakland Times.
We knew it would come. The Re-
publican press has suddenly opened its
eyes to the revival in business, which be-
gan as soon as MchinIeyism was wiped
from the statute books. and now their
calamity cry has ceased. This i'll itself
is blessing. The New York 6{dfL and
