THE REGrs1ER,s JEWEL.

THE REGISIER'S JEWEL.
 Consistency is not always jewel, but there are times when it is. It was a jewel Saturday when the esteemed Reg ister of this city solemnly and virtu- ously pitched into electric railroad man. agers for taking advantage of the pres efce of two prize-f1ghters in town to make a little money. Almost over whelmed by it's regard for the public interest and mortified by the lack of moral sentiment in the business meth ods of the railroad managers, the Reg ister said: The electric system in fact that does not attract patronage by the promise of entertainment at the end of the route is not up to the spirit of the times. In many instances the at fractions have been entertaining, but when the management of them Is driven to the extreme of having a prize-fighter to pose for the crowd there is something radically wrong with it's sense of the fitness of things. If, then, we enter a protest against this sort of auxiliary business we but voice the general sentiment of the communi- ty. It is going just one step too far and comes almost under the head of disorderly conduct, for the conduct of the crowd 1t encourages is disorderly in the extreme. The very procession of cars through the street was disorderly and ought to have been prohibited by the police.
 Good! That's the right kind of talk! New Haven can't sink very deeply into the mire of immortality with such faith full preaching on tap. And the faithful ness and the consistency of 1t are made plain by the fact that it was not on Sat- urday, but on Friday that the Register made use of those very same prize-fght- ters to make a little money for itself It sent one of its most accurate and graphic reporters to tag the prize-fght-
 CTS around and see how they looked,
 talked, walked, ate and drank. The reporter ventured to ask one of the
 great men how, he felt about fight which he is soon to engage in with the other great man, and he got a very in teresting answer, which was duly and truly printed in the Register along with enough other stuff to make some inter esting reading for those readers of the Register who are interested in prize fighters and prize-fighting. Doubtless the Register sold some papers because of it's article on the prize-fghters. And though we dislike to say anything against hard-working newsboys, we must say that some of the Register 8 newsboys on Friday afternoon were re- ally almost guilty of disorderly conduct l in their efforts to sell their papers. Why, don't you know, they would real ly run against a fellow, and shout "All about the prize-fightersr in a tone of voice that was really rude and totally unftted for such a nice place as New
 Haven.
 But there is no doubt about the Reg listers consistency. It hath a jewel in- deed. It practiced on Friday and it preached on Saturday, so that the two needn't be inconsistent When the great fight comes off the Register, in order to make little money, will, we suppose, have a good account of it, and its news
 boys will be quite disorderly. But there
 will be no sermon on immoral business methods in the Register on that day.
 That wouldn't be consistent. We shall have to wait for the sermon until a few days after the fight when the jewel of
 the Registers consistency will not plain ly look like jewel of gold in a swine's snout.
