Highly Moral Brutality.
N. O. Picayune, May %.

N. o. Picayune, May %,
When a lot of lawyers, merchants,
college professors, politicians and other
prominent citizens testified before a jul
ry in the Civil District Court that a
"glove contest" in a prize-ight ring, so
far from being brutal and demoralizing,
is a spectacle truly inspiring, instruc-
tive and heart-warming, they complete
ly knocked out the Attorney General,
who was trying to make these highly
moral diversions to be unlawful prize
fights, and solidly established them un-
der the protection of the State.
improving influences of a "glove con
test" were diffused throughout a con-
siderable portion of the community in
"a bout between two self-syled apostles
of physical culture ct the arena Of the
Olympic Club. The passages between
these improvers of morals and illustra-
tors of athletic aesthetics were describ-
ed by the professional critics to h
bloody and brutal in the extreme. AL,
the newspaper reporters agree upon
that but a few lines from the account
of it in the States is particularly peril
nent to this view of what is embalmed
in the law and high public opinion as a
most proper and edifying exercise. The
paragraph from the States is as follows:
Burke was terribly battered and pre-
sented a very sorry appearance after
the fight. His left cheek had been OPEN
ed by a hard left-hand blow, and his
left ear suffered from the same source.
A large red spot just over the heart bore
silent testimony to the vicious jabs and
blows of Everhardt's Bounce gloves,
and he hardly seemed to realize where
he was or what he was doing for a half
hour after the contest was over. The
fight was one of the most vicious and
hard fought of any that has been held
lin the Olympic arena. The crowd was
in a good humor throughout the even
ing, and everything was conducted in a
most orderly and decorous manner un-
til the referee announced the contest in
favor of Everhardt, when a tremendous
news of the New Orleans boys victory
to the waiting crowds outside"
+ 1t is plain enough that these glove
contests that have won SO many hearty
encomiums from high and highly-cul-
tured sources are eminently adapted to
| the improving and edification of youth,
and the %elevating of the moral and
aesthenic tone of the community. No
body but old-fogy people would think
of seeing anything improper in them.
Nevertheless, it is to be hoped that
there is enough of the old-fogy, humane
and order-loving element in the Gen
eral Assembly of the State to sweep
these demoralizing exhibiEons out Of
| existence as far as Louisiana is concern
| ed, and fix upon them the stamp of on
domination and prohibition which alone
| they merit.

One of our best farmers, one who has
succeeded in good times and bad times,
declares that corr can be put in the crib
by raising it at home at Is Genus a bush
ell. And with home raised corn, meat
can be put in the smoke-house at 4 cents
a pound, and mules can be raised at $50
a head.
Let US say that it takes 20 cents a
bnshel to raise corr and honse it. Cam
not the least observant person realize
the immense savingf Corn is very
cheap in the West, but still it costs the
Southern farmer at least e5 cents a
bnshel to buy in Vicksburg and haul to
hisfarm. There is a saving of 45 cents
a bushel, but that is not all the saving.
Those who have raised corr have all
the fodder and shucks, and there is no
danger of spoiled corn. The farmer
with an abundance of home raised corn
can have fat, strong horses and mules,
and that makes a wonderful difference
in the tilling of a crop. In addition if
all the Southern farmers would raise an
abundance Of corn, the cotton crop
would be smaller and the price higher.

AS I have been asked a great many
questions respecting the house we bniii
in even days over the ashes of the one
lately burned, permit me to explain
through your columns. The house so
built was under the direction of Tom
Hamilton, late Of Plaquemine, who
bossed the job. 1t is seventy-tWo feet
long by forty eight feet wide, and all
rooms are thirteen and a half feet in
the clear. The house contains nine
rooms and is Weatherboarded outside
and ceiled throughout and contains
twenty eight openings, has two porches
its entire length. The plan was made
and the lumber was going on the ground
while three run Of hose from the mill
were cooling the location. LII seven
days the house was finished, and one
coat of paint outside and two coats on
all ceilings. About twenty men were
employed who labored diligently elev-
en- hours per dny.

A Good Example.
vicksburg Commercial Herald.

Vicksburg Commercial Herald.
Mississippi set the example of over
throwing the rule of corruption and ig-
norance, and was the first state to ele-
vate the plane of suffrage. In this state
our suffrage is now id as safe hands as
in any state in the Union. We may
justly claim it is in safer limits than in
the great state of New York where the
large cities hold the balance of power,
and the vote of the cities is more or less
corrupt.
The Southern states followed the lead
OF Mississippi in cleaning out the car
pet.baggers and scalaWags, and they
will Dor follow our lead in ~elevating
and guarding the suffrage.
Already q sister state, Louisiana,
has through her constitutional commits
sion adopted a change in the qualifica-
ions for voters very like ours. The
only difference seems to be that when
pay taxes or two hundred dollars worth
of property, they shall be given the
right to vote. That provision, however,
is to be limited to ten years. time. At
ter 1904, all who cannot read and write
will be DISTINGUISHED, as it is considered
that ten years will be ample time for
any citizen worthy Of voting, and who
wants to exercise the right, to learn how
to read and write. That provision is
tolerably only, it would be much better
if the limit Of time should be two years
instead of ten.
We are glad to see our sister state
moving in such an important matter,
and W. advise all the cotton states
while the whites are in power to
strengthen the guards of the franchise
in every possible way. The repeal of
the Federal election laws has already
divided the whites in almost every
southern state, and the state that does
not want ignorance and corruption to
have sway again, had best prepare to
shut ignorance and prejudice out Of the
ballot box.
