OF the Thousands Of sporting men who
witnessed Corbett spar with O'DoDnell
and Dwyer at Madison Square Garden,
New York, on Monday night, there was
one ut least, who did not entbuse over the
champions showing. On the contrary,
he was disappointed. He expected to see
Corbett In the best possible shape, and
HIS keen and practiced eye told him that
the conqueror OF Sullivan was not In that
kind Of condition.
The man was Riley Grammar, the big
gest plunger on the American turf, and
he left the building convinced that the
Corbett of today is not equal to the deeds
of the Corbctt OF the past. Grammar did
not uncover his opinion publicly until
today. 1T happened on the train bound
for the Grsvesend race track. In the
party, beside Grammar, were Ike ).
Thompson, George Wheelock and Abe
Levy, three prominent bookmakers. The
three bookmakers mentioned said they
believed Corbett would win.

Thopmson, anxious TO know what the
young plunger was going to do.

he made two more bets.
IL Fitzsimmons fails to win, Grammar
will lose SIS, 900, for that is the sum he
wagered, in all. IL the Australian should
perform the feat of putting Corbett to
sleep, Americas boy plunger will be
richer by $50, 600.

that an expert tea faster can tell not on

RalIrOadg Must Protect Pasgengerg.

Among the opinions handed down
the 5th by the Supreme court was one
on the question ofprotection TO passen-
gers required from railroads and rail-
road employees. The syllabus in the
case makes this matter very plain, and
as it is Of interest to readers, it ia re-
produced. The court, all the Justices
concurring, says:
81. The contract Of q common
carrier with passenger requires the
carrier to protect the passenger against
interference or injury arising from
negligence or willful misconduct Of it's
servants while engaged in performing
the duties which the carrier owes to
the passenger; and where passenger
upon railroad train is unjustifiably
assaulted and beaten by an employe
who owed him the duty of protection,
the railroad company is responsible for
his acts and liable for the injury suf-
fered.
"2. A railroad company which is
carrying passengers is liable for an
illegal arrest and the false imprison-
ment of passenger caused to be made
by the conductor in charge Of the train
on which the passenger was riding
while acting in the line Of his employ
ment.
''S. The testimony examined, and it
is held that the damages awarded are
not so excessive as to warrant the dis
turbance of the verdict"

They WIN Never Be Any Better.

The State Journal in the following
editorial truthfully states the condi-
tions in the old parties:
''The fact that both the Republican
and Democratic parties have sustained
crushing defeats within the past three
years does not seem to have taught
them anything, and the same old
bosses are still permitted to remain In
control and ito shape the party policy.
Quay and Platt are planning to die
tate the candidate and the policy Of
the next national Republican lconVen-
ton, and at present ARE in fair way
to succeed. Brice and German are
doing the same thing with regard to
the Democratic party with equally
good prospects Of success. The de-
feat Of their parties Is never very
serious matter to the bosses. They al
ways manage to retain control Of their
several states even when the opposite
party is in control of the country. The
West and South must stand together
against these bosses ifthey would serve
the best interests Of the country. This
is as true Of one party as the other"

New York Railroads COnspire to Defeat
Canal improvements.

New York Railroads COnspire to Defeat
Canal improvements.
The canals Of New York State are
an important political subject this
year. The question is to be voted on
by separate ballot, "For the proposl.
tion to issue bonds for the Inn
proVement of the Erie canal, the Os-
wego canal, and the Chsmplsin
CANAL" or "Against the proposition"
The proposition is to issue bonds Of
the State to the amount Of $9,0OO,OO0,
to deepen the Erie and OsWegO canals
to nine feet, and the Champlain canal
to eeyen, by digging them one foot
deeper and making the banks one foot
higher. Practically nothing has been
done to the Erie canal in the way Of
improvement since 1862, except to
lengthen some of the locks. Yet it is
q fact that to that canal ia due, In a
large measure, the commercial impor-
tsnce of New York city, and the pros
peEity Of q large part Of the State. Up
to 1883, when tolls were abolished, the
canals had cost the State less than
800, 100000 and had paid into the
State treasury nearly $4,000, 900.
But the most important service they
have performed lies in their regulation
of the railroad rates. In testifying a
few years ago before a legislative
committee, Albert Fink, formerly
manager of the Trunk Line pool Of
railroads, said:
The Erie canal regulates the freight rates
on all the railroads east Of the Mississippi
river; not only on the roads whose tracks run
parallel with the canal, but upon those which
run In an opposite direction.
William Window, while United
States Senator, and chairman of a
committee for investigating trsnspor-
tatiOn routes, said In his report:
You would doubtless be surprised, Mr.. Pres
ldent, II told you that the little ditch which
runs through your State holds in check and
regulates nearly every leading railroad east
OF the Mississippi river, and that it exerts o
marked influence on che cost Of transporta-
ton over all the country, extending from the
interior TO the Gulf States, TO the st. Law
renee river. and from the great plains Of the
eastern foothills Of the Rocky mountains to
the Atlantic ocean. And yet such is the fact
But the action of the railroads them
selves is the most eloquent appeal.
Since the overwhelming vote last year
for a clause in the new constitution
authorizing the Legislature to improve
the canals, the railroads have resOrted
to most extraordinary means to dis.
credit and affect public sentiment. 1t
is said that hardly bushel Of wheat
has been carried on the Erie canal this
year. Last year over $4,000, 900 bushels,
and the year before that over sc, ,0OO, 600
bushels, were carried on the canal.
But this year the railroads have low
cred the rates 80 that wheat can be-
carried more cheaply BY rail thanby

The conclusion is irresistible that
the railroads are playing desperate

the canals. A vote for the canals will
be vote for the public weal.-NeaO
