Corbett and Fitzsimmons.

A great many people whose time has
been too much absorbed with business or
whose absence from tho country has pre-
vented them from growing up In under
standing Of some OF It's new features, must be
wondering why Mr.. JoHS JAMES CoRBETT,
a ~l9o-pounder or more when fit, a big
man Of great strength, yet a veritable
HIAwATHA sapling in his nervous force
and physical snap, refrains from ut
tering an ejaculatory Yes" to Mr..
ROBERT FITzsIMAOSs's Invitation TO put on
the boxing gloves and box for a purse of
thousands and the championship Of the
world. There is no sound ground for sup
posing CoRBETT to be in the slightest de
gree personally afraid of any man. lie has
fought JACKSON and SULLIVAN, drawing
with one and whipping the other. II he re-
trains from his old-time rush 10 the ring
side, II is for business reasons, and they are
very clearly In evidence.
C~oRBETT's defeat of MITCHELL and his
soaring JACKSON away from a contest are
still capital On which be Is making money
on the stage, He wears the champions belt,
and we'll enough can wisely be let alone.
Were his nance Of winning to FITZsIM-
MOss's as great as ten is 70 one, he might still
prefer as a business mAn-and the gloved
and padded prize ring is now a great field
of commerce. And commercial Ialent-to
let this opportunity Of adding FITz-
SIMMONS to his list 90 by, and con-
tinue his business In its present form.
The glory Of defeating FITzsIMHoss would
be next TO nothing for him, and though the
chance Of his being beaten may be small.
the job may not be worth the risk. Be
sides, there is in oRBET the opposition Of
human nature to letting another man gain
more than he il thought entitled to, and
F~ITZsnIMONs would do hat in the cham
piOn's eyes II he obtained nothing more thAn
the renown Of championship matchmaking.
This seems 10 be no moro than an impartial
view Of the relations between FFTLsIAAoSs
and CORBETT.

We do not desire the London Times TO be
deceived on a question OF great Importance, and
we therefore confirm by documentary evidence
Its own suspicion that tho Hon. WILLIAM l..
WILSON was mistaken when he said over there
In England that e protection had been over
thrown" in America. Instead of being mis-
taken, Mr.. WILSON was simply telling
what Ia not so. Tho occasion on which he
told the truth was when he FIRST laid his Tarin
bill before the House OF Representatives, saying,
This bill no more processes TO be purgsd Of
protection than to DO free from errors in details.
Great interests do exist whose existence and
prosperity It is no part OF our reform TO imperlI
or cuTtail."
1t seems 20 be q dispensation OF Providence
that the statesmen who, in one way or another,
work up Mugwump regulations FOR personal
purity and high character, are. as a rule, gentle
men whose words had always better DO COM
pared with their deeds.

- the refusal Of the Dominion 70 exclude
Chinese, the imposition Of heavy dues
on American fishermen instead Of the
common rights Of hospitality In Ca
madam ports, and the disposition to dis
criminate against American vessels on the
weliand Canal But, after all, these griev-
ances seem trifes in comparison with the
tremendous loss, aud, so to speak, strangu-
lation, inflicted upon Canada by that com
plete exclusion Of her products from
American markets which, in the alb
sence Of political union, IL certain soon
er or later to .recur. That is why
the Canadians are Incidentally more deeply
interested in continental union than are the
citizens Of the United States.
There Is good ground for the Senator's

tanned not 100000, but $4,000, 900 in

The preservation Of Samoan independence
and autonomy, for which Mr.. CLEVELAND
lahored during his FIRST term, was accom-
plished by the Berlin treaty, negotiated
during the term Of his successor, President
HARRISON. The Berlin conference did pre-
| cisely what Mr.. BATARD's Washington con-
ference had failed TO effect. The Berlin
treaty, furthermore, cured as far as was
possible the U~rievouS wrong inflicted upon
MALrEToA by Mr.. CLEvELASD's breach Of
faith and astonishing personal apathy.
Germany was compelled TO release the
King from exile, and to return him
TO Samoa, physically . wreck OF his
former self. On Government under
took, in connection with Great Britain
and Germany, TO maintain Samoa's indie
pendence. This was the success Of Mr..
CL~EvELAED's Samoan policy IL IL merely
an accident Of chronology that the success
wa not accomplished until after he had
gone out Of Office.
Can 1t Be believed, In view Of this brief re-
cital Of facts, that this same Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND, with q different Secretary Of State,
should propose TO abandon Samoa, to re-
pudiste solely by Executive action the sol
emn obligations Of the Berlin treaty, and TO
surrender Pago-Pago harbor, in order to
show the world " an example Of the strength,
the moderation, and the benefcence Of popu-
lar government :" Can It be believed that a
Democratic campaign book, published by
aufhONiNv ~ tho nornOCr0ffp Cnnuraasinnal
Committee, should eulogize this same Mr..
CLEVELAND for trying to break the Berlin
treaty, and should parade as "a matter of
supreme satisfaction" the fact that "our

Tights.

We stand with the woman's Christian
Temperance Union in its war upon those I'M
slightly posters bearing indecorous pic
lures of actors or actresses, which are
to be seen at times in some Of the
streets Of Brooklyn, or even of New York.
The members Of the Brooklyn branch Of the
Union who began the war there last week,
are enlisted in a proper cause. Some of the
posters against which they have turned
their arms are very offensive.
We object to these posters because Of their
~immodesty. Some of them are markedly in
decent. 1t is not merely because people of
both sexes are pictured in tights, that
we object to them for there need not be
any improperly in appearing upon the
stage in decent tights, or in giving pictures
Of those who thus appear: 1t Is because OF
their essential viciousness.
We object to the public display Of the
vicious pictures, because 1t Is repulsive to
pure-mindcd women, young and old, welded
and unwedded, as we'll as to their fathers
and brothers. There Is proof Of this in the
protests that are made against them.
We object to 1t because it Is unlawful I'M
der the statutes Of the State of New York.
Inc law IN tne case OuRnb 10 ne anu Cdu
very easily be enforced, without the least in
fringement of the rights OF anybody.
We object to the bad posters for artistic
reasons. The colored pictures which they
bear are nearly always uncomely, and the
persons represented in them often look like
slouches, though in tights.
Let the Law be applied to these scandal
Gus posters. In its behalf we stand with the
W. G. I. U. The war that has been begun
in Brooklyn is g righteous wal.
We countenance it regardless Of our con-
tempt for the preposterous censorship upon
books and works Of art which that ignorant
crank, ANTHONY w. CoMsrocK. has for many
years tried to set up, and in the
application OF which he has within the past
few weeks made himself more than ever q
laughing stock and q nuisance. This is not
a case In which Comstockism Is involved.
The public posting OF flaring broadsides,
bearing improper pictures, ought to be
stopped. The managers who arc response
BILE for the existence OF such posters,
ought to stop it, for their own sake,
and for the sake Of tho persons repre-
sented in shameless ways, without making
1t necessary for tho w c. 7. U. to call upon
the law or the authorities. The posting OF
bad shows Is prejudicial to the best interests
Of the stage.

This Year and Thereafter.

The Washington Post, an independent
journal, which Lives In the very presence OF
the Administration, makes some comments
upon Democratic matters in New York
which concern seriously the party at large:
~, viii be interesting to watch the course OF the
Administrator Democrats in New York ~ regards
Ne campaign Of M. HnI- That the hostility OF those
Denoorats can defsak him everybody understands.
THAT The Administration can prevent or inspire such
Hostility IL equally beyond question. The country,
tterefore. win observe the changing phases snd deveL
epuents of the campaign with peculiar soIIcitude. Mr..
HuLs election will DO accepted - nnsl proof Of tho
Administrstion's party loyalty, and his failure as tho
s.suit Of the ADMINISTRATION unfriendly effort"
II the administration Democrats" can
overthrow the party organization in New
York this year., IL will be because OF the tire
mendous assistance they have made for
themselves by pursuing a national policy
which has already buried the Democracy OF
Vermont and Maine well-nigh out OF sight,
Out Of their own strength the Mugwnmp
combination, as an antagonist OF the Demo
cratic party, has from the first been n dis
ma and pitiable failure. II IL impossible to
say beforehand how Unsuitable Is the Mug
wump thirst TO bring ruin upon everything
not conducive to Mugwump glory, and
"hAbt III III iuhSh VI hhiitbAtoSt ~
be the aim Of Mugwump activity in the APP
preaching campaign. But we must tell
Democrats, in the State OF New York and In
every other State, that the defeat OF the
Democratic party here this fall will, as con-
clusively as the event OF to-day can affect
that Of tomorrow, make Il impossible to
elect q Democratic Presidenttw two years hence.
The Democratic party, II 1t IL to win in
1896, must win on the ideas expressed by
Senator HILL during the late session OF Con-
Rress. 1t must be identified with the prin-
ciples Of equal rights, Of common sense, and
fairness to all. A new Democratic party
cannot be q over again out Of populistic
Westerpism. Leaving New York's cleo
toral vote out from the programme Of any
such delusive combination, would count
less toward It's defeat than leaving out what
this State stands for. The infiammatory
anarchistic Populism, such as carried the
State Of Illinois, for instance, for CLEvE-
IASD and Homestead In 1892, cannot sue
coed agnin or even dare to show itself.
n HILL, now the Democratic candidate
for Governor because he was the almost
passionate choice OF the State Convention,
aud because in politics he Is Of the bold and
unsolfsh kind to face any difficulty when
called upon, Ii to be beaten in November,
spd New York Is to be put In the Republi-
can column, the consequences will be apt to
Be much graver and further reaching to the
national Democracy than the loss Of a great
Baate Government, or even the loss of o
national election two years hence.

Strange Words OF q Clergyman.

There was n strange and novel suggestion
made by the Rev. DR.. BRIGGS OF this city in
the speech which he delivered last Tuesday
at q religious meeting in Greenfield, Mass.
He suggested that at least one-half Of the
ministers Of the churches ought to stop
preaching, leave their pulpits, and give up
the clerical professioni THE Protestants,"
he said, could well dispense with $4,000
Of their 5000 ~clergymen in this country; "
and, in the course of his argument, he reiter-
ated this remark with the utmost emphasis
II confidently assert hat we can spare
. 5000 OF our $4,000 ~clergymenl" He
also maintained that far toe much
capital IL invested in the church ediflces in
which these ministers preach. There are
s549, 0o0, 900 thus invested he said, "or
5000, 900, 900 more than are necessary"
THE statistics Of our Protestant
churches he continued, ARE startling;
and the bankruptcy OF many Of them is
inevitable unless there be a change"
Truly, these nre strange utterances for
this Protestant minister, who, though I'M
der a cloud, yet wears the title Of Rever-
end" and Is q professor in the Union Theo-
logical Seminary of this city.
The Rev. DR.. BRIGGS is inexact in his
figures. The number OF Protestant minis
tiers in the country Is far beyond 90, 900,
and the amount of capital invested in the
churches erected for these ministers Is a
good deal less than he believes it to be. But
these errors are of no great consequence.
TIL main thing Is that he would at once cut
down the number Of ministers by one-half,
and reduce by over one-third the capital put
into ecclesiastical buildings.
What can the Rev. DR.. BRIGGS mean by
this extraordinary assault upon the minis
try OF the Protestant denominations Has
the fact that so very few Of the Protestant
ministers OF the country accepted his own
deductions from the higher criticism" Of
the Bible anything to do with it, Does he
believe that there is too much preaching Of
the ordinary kind, or that one-half the
ministers are incompetent, or hat the fruits
OF their labors are not sufficient to cover the
enormous COST DR.. BRIGGS himself Is an
influential member OF the faculty OF an in
%stitution in which young men are prepared
for the service Of the Presbyterian ministry;
and he has had the opportunity Of know
ing whereof he speaks. We may perhaps
infer from n part Of his discourse
that the ministers rave too easy places;
for he says hat the average mum
Der Of communicates to each Protestant
clergyman Is only 14a,'sso that II one-halt
the ministers were cut of, the average num-
Der Of communicates to each one OF those
that were left would be 2S4, q number yet
far too small, IL seems TO US, for an energetic
and Woodworking minister.

That the introduction OF the human
form in advertising Is a good idea is
well-known fact-witness the ticket
scalper's cavalry brigade. the girls
who make up packages Of candy in
shop windows and the tall youth who
parades the streets of this city clad in
the glittering robes of royalty. The
latest wrinkle II these lines was sprung
by Washington street stOrekeeper
this morning by putting a man in his
window to advertise new exercising
machine. The man wore a sleeveless
blue jersey. pair of striped trousers
and look of stern determination. and
so far as catching the public eye went
he was certainly success. for he had
a crowd in front of him from the
moment he appeared until he left the
windOW at u clock. His work was
to show how the machine was used.
and this he Gid in an easy and grace
ful manner which caught and held the
attention OF the multitude. The crowd
was the same crowd which stands on
the sidewalk a little farther down on
ti2e street and watches the man in the
window fry buckwheat cakes. but there
was more OF it. It blocked the side
walk pretty effectually, and overtiowed
into the street and into the store itself,
so that an employe had to stand in
