The death Of second pugilist in the

ought to strengthen somewhat the SEN
timcnt against that brutal institution.
1t has often been regretted in saw
agely humorous way that the contest
ants in such n fight did not kill each
other instead Of only pounding each
other out OF all semblance to humanity,
but even If such wish had ever been
expressed seriously it would only be
half complied with by the killing OF one
of tie combatants. A trial or two for
manslaughter, followed by conviction
and sentence. might bring the pugilis-
tic fraternity to realizing sense of
what ii is they are doing when they set

gray. The wool is knotted up in tight
little curls all over the horses body. SC

the other day and purchased her for a

her In that and other cities.

Crank on election figures and knew ex-
actly how every county and town IL

slight change in favor Of his own party
would fill him with satisfaction. one
Gay, says the New York Express, ne

Republicans had carried Westminster

he wrote an editorial, and put com

Gle, compiled from the Tribune anna
FAC. When the paper came out next
day the figures were misplaced, the he
publican vote appearing in the Demo
cratic column, and vice versa, SO tnat
the comments did not at all tit the case
stated. Mr. Greeley came down IN Il
towering rage, and in WhlrlWlnu OF
profanity demanded of his subordinate
IN charge whether there was PROOF
reader on the paper and whether any
body in the office had grain OF sense.
"Why, yes, Mr. Greeley; you know

Upstairs there was q scene very like

Greeley told the proof reader that he

the proverbial placidity Of proof read
crs and their provoking readiness for
such emergencies, the man assailed
quietly went to the hook and taking

Want ara Eight-Hour Day.

The gravediggers are the latest trade
to claim an eight-hour day. They com
plain that the hours of work at Willes
den are no less than thirteen. We do
not know how long it takes to dig a
grave, but thirteen hours day seems
to point to an alarming mortality. In
this case at all events the public will
desire to see the hours of labor short
ened as much as possible-preferab!
by the diminution in the demand for
graves rather than by the increase in
the supply of gravediggers. Moreover.
the occupation, as Shakespeare shows
us in Hamlet" should be carried on
in leisurely and philosophical spirit.
and this is impossible if the grayedic-
ger is overworked. 1t will add n new
pang to death If we know we are add
ing to the labors of an already over
worked sexton. Philanthropists will all

Officials of railroads ut Chicago de-
clare that it will be utterly impossible
to maintain through grain rates so long
as trunk lines persist in billing to ticti-
tious destinations. Ii is Il notorious
fact that nearly all the trunk lines make
a practice of billing grain to some inte-
rior point taking a higher than sea-
board rate, and changing the billing in
transit to suit themselves. This manip-
ulation gives trunk lines 3 to cents a
hundred to buy business with, as the
excess rate is deducted from the
through rate before division.

Nebraska's appeal for her stricken
citizens is manly one. Continued bad
crops along with the general industrial
and financial paralysis OF the last two
years have weighed heavily upon the
people of the State. They have gone
ahead bravely fighting disaster after
disaster, sure that in time the soil
would once more yield a generous sup
port. The State itself has not been un-
mindful of its duty towards its own.
But there is Il call for outside help
which is not unreasonable Thousands
OF persons are said to be on the verge
of starvation. If they can be aided
through the winter they will start in
the spring determined to wreSt from
nature some return for its hartlships.
There should be no hesitation in an
swering the appeal Which, goes up on
their behalf.
