THE Washington dispatches of last Fri
day stated that the interest manifested in
the Capitol over the fight at Jacksonville
Thursday was intense and that grave
Senators and members of the House slipped
into the cloak rooms to read the bulletins.
Apparently it is useless preaching sermons
against such contests as these. AS long a.
grass grows and water runs the very best
of men will take an interest in combat
between two trained athletes, or, not tc
put too fine point upon it, prize fighters
To pretend otherwise is to be hypocritical
When government for a selfish purpose
performs an act more or less unjustifisble
and war results, the mildest of men will
grow enthusiastic over the slaughter ol
their fellows by their own countrymen
When two men bAtter each other with
gloved fists for selfish purpose-that is
to gain money prize-it is called bruta
and degrading exhibition. Call it what
You will there are few Americans who will
not secretly rejoice in the fact that the
fistio championship of the world remain,
with Columbia. This was the consolinp
thought of Sullivan at New Orleans when
he was beaten by the man whose temperate
and regular mode of life had given greater
strength to his arm. Had Mr.. Mitchell
taken as much care of his health and lived
the same life as his conqueror he might not
have been SO quickly vanquished. The
moral is obvious.

Not a Farmers Tariff.

Robert Ellis Thompson, the well-kntwn
Protection Professor in Pennsylvania Uni
versity, writing of the Wilson Tariff bill in
the Irish World, says it Is like that wretch
ed piece of legislation, the tariff of 1s46,
under which our industries suffered four
teen years of depression and bondage to
European trade and capital. 1t is.neither
one thing or another so far as principle
goes Its authors, when they were arguing
for free trade, denounce their own bill by an
ticipation. AS it stands it proposes mar
rover, less national, less impartial system
of duties than the Mckinley tariff estab-
lished. What protection it leaves is for
the manufacturer and the manufacturer
slone. The lumberman, the miner, the
fisherman are entirely out of the account.
The great market for food products which
the protective policy has developed In the
New England States is handed over to the
Canadian without single concession on
his side. The American market for fish is
given to the Nova Scotian and the New
foundlander without reserve. The nome
market for certain kinds of meat products,
such as ham and sausages, is conveyed to
the Germans on such terms as they GER
tainly will like. The American wool sup
ply is to come from Australia and Russia,
and our farmers may kill their sheep for
their pelts out of hand. The American
miner may give up competing in the sup
ply of iron lead and copper ores, as all
these are handed to the foreigner. So we
are to have a manufacturers tariff. "a tariff
for Misunderstanding only" this year, to be
followed in the near future
by tariff which will deal with the
manufacturer as with the farmer, the min
er and the fisherman.

ing the extensive plant which has since
grown into the still more extensive works
of the Sharon Iron Company, Limited, OF

proprietor He also some years ago was
Mayor of Detroit for a term. AT all times
he was the alert, active, clear-headed busi-
ness man, handling vast enterprises and
great undertakings. ana his large fortune,
said 10 be over five million dollars, was
achieved hv his own business application
and sogacity, aided by no adyentitious
circumstances. He was public spirited and
gave freely to the promotion of public
enterprises, and In private life b. was the
kindest Of husbands and fathers, and a
personal friend of his intimates In
politics he was Republican and in re-
ligion a Presbyterian. His funeral was

Growth OF the Trees Extended over Two
Thousand Years.

These standing silicifed stumps
and fallen trees were found varying
in diameter from one TO seven feet,
says a writer in Popular Science
Monthly. Two sections were found
so perfect that the rings OF annual
growth throughout could be coun ted.
except a few. fifteen or twenty. near
the heart and bark
One tree, measuring three feet in
diameter. had 222 rings Of growth
and another Of three feet FIVE inches
in diameter. had 243-this without
any allowance for a few missing
rings at the center and toward the
bark.
The larger Of these were only half
the size Of the largest seen. Many
were found varying in diameter from
five TO seven feet, but none Of this
size was seen exposing the rings
throughout the entire section
Judging from the closeness OF the
rings in certain well.preseryed por-
tions OF the larger trees, many Of
them must have been az least 500
years in attaining their growth. II
the rings We're truly annual Taking
one half Of this number. $50 years,
a. the more probable age Of the sue
cessiye forests at this point. IL is
seen that the earliest OF these trees
were living mere than 1000 years
before the last. during which time
there were alternating conditions of
growth and accumulation Of volcanic
material.
This estimate makes no allowance
for the time necessary FOR the for
nation Of a soil upon the volcanic ma
terial. which at first sight would
seem necessary for the support Of
such vigorous vegetation. IL is
not probable. however that any CON
siderable time was necessary for this
purpose. for with rare exceptions.
each successive forest took root and
began 20 grow very promptly after
the destruction Of its predecessor.
In most cases the destroying food
consisted Of mud. ashes. conglomer-
ate and other volcanic material.
which formed an excellent base for
this vegetation. and was doubtless
cosered with a luxuriant growth as
soon as il was dried or cooled sutii-
ciently. and this would require only
a short time.

Two Paths.

An English lady, having been asked rs
TO the propriety Of attending on Sunday
an exhibition Of Bible pictures, replied
with an illustration which eliminates q
wide range Of duties. She said:
Along the South Downs are two paths,
one a very few inches from the edge Of
the cliff, another about two yards off
Many have walked, and walked safely,
along the first path, but il was danger
Gus.
One step TO the left, and they would
have fallen, perhaps, several hundred
feet into the sea below; or, If a piece Of
loose rock suddenly separated from the
other parts, it would have carried the
person who CHANGED TO he tfeading it,
down, down with il, into the abyss.
Many, too, and / am among them,
have trodden the path farther in; ne had
as pleasant view, with this great dis
tinction from the more danger-loving
passengers, IRE were safe; If we took a
step to the left, we were still on solid
ground; if the edge were jagged, or even
a huge mass Of rock fell, We only saw
uneyenness, or felt a slight shock.
A gust Of wind could not hurl us over,
neither would sudden giddiness send US
rolling down the precipiee.
Which path was best, was wisest, was
safest? 1.-THE last, " you say? Yet both
have been walked without accident.
l do not lay down q rule that every
one would be doing wrong in going to
see n collection Of pictures illustrating
the Bible on Sunday, but do say there
is South Down called Sunday; il is
high above the six miles Of the country
surrounding il along the edge is writ
ten: " Remember the Sabbath day 10
keep If holy"
There are two paths, one called ere
ligious pleasure, " the ether, "hours for
God alone Which is the happiest, the
safest, the wisest, the best?
