Although Of different politics
from our worthy Governor, Hon.
L. O. Hughes, we are not blinded
BY prejudice, and can see and adj
init the truth respecting the quail
ties OF any public man. Knowing
and appreciating the governor as
we do, it has been matter of won
der to as, why he has been made
the subject of SO many malignant
attacks from members of his own
party. 1t is notorious, generally
admitted fact tffat our territorial
aEairs have never been better adj
ministered than during the time
that he has been in office. It is
likewise true that the gubernatorial
chair OF the territory has never
been filled by his superior in intel
ligence, moral uprightness, or one
who felt and exhibited more sin
cere desire to advance the interests
OF the territory. A. strong, level
headed man, who gives no atten-
tion to the assaults made upon him,
but lets them die of their own in.
efficacy; self poisoned by their own
sting.
Has It come to pass with the
democracy of the territory, that a
man need only BY his own worth
rise to a prominent position, to be-
come the mark of petty envy?
Must each desire to cast down
what is above him. tnat place
being vacant he may worm into
it7 Unless this be so we still won
der and are at a loss to understand
the attacks on one whom we know
to be worthily place1.-Oasis

Tho origin of hoprcscnt form of punch

or Mike Donovan, who is now boxing
instructor of tho Now York Athletic club,
sccms to DO tho individual who is mainly
responsible for its existence, md tho first
bag worthy of tho name was ono which ho
improviscd for tho uso of John l.. Sullivan
when tho cx-champion was training for
his historic fight with Paddy Ryan. This
bag was made from rubber association
football and was attached to u hook in tho
ceiling by u rope. 1t is said that Donovan
In 1876, when training for his fight with
McClelland for tho middloweight cham
pionship Of America Mt San Francisco, first
conceived tho idea Of 1.-Two bag, and since
rubber blndders wcro understandable utilized
beef bladdcrs This seems rather improb-
able, rs tho extreme lightness would make
1t almost impossible to punch this form of
bag.
Before tho invention of tho inflated baS
boxers and fighters had for years utilized
tho solid punching bag of oakunl, sawdust
or sand. 1t was merely u means of hard
ening tho hands and training tho forearm
to withstand tho shock of heavy blow.
Tho training consisted merely of n monot-
onous humping of tho heavy bag, with no
variety of movements whatever. This
form Of bag is still in use, Jack Slavin be-
Ing ono of its principal adhercnts.
Tho inflated bag brought with it null
titudo of supporters. Not only did tho
fighters take it up but tho amateur boxers
and men who had never boxed in their
lives. Whilo bag punching is closely allied
to boxing, man may DO good bag
punchcr and yet hopclcssly crudo In tho
art Of fighting. There Is something tan
talizing in tho appoaranco>of tho leather

army in itself. Besides these there arc

Skin sphere used by tho experts, which

1t will retain it's shape.
An important factor in tho machinery
Is tho attachment OF tho ropo to tho cell
Ing. Many bags are held by simple hole
through which tho rope is passed and
knottod. A dovioo has boon invented

Another valuable but not absolutely

These arc Designed not SO much us pro-
