THURSDAY EVENING, JAN. 81 1896
The trainers Of the election bill jus

THE trainers of the election bill just
introduced in the legislature by the so
called stair election" leaders, evidently
had as their model the old "readjuster"
election bill, under which, of the three
election judges, one was republican
one a readjuster and the remaining one
a democrat, by which whenever a
question arose it was always decided
in favor of the republicans, as the'repub-
lican and readjuster judges invariably
voted the same way, and with two
votes, of course, overcame that of the
one democratic judge. The new bill
referred to provides that of the election
Judges at each polling precinct one
shall be democrat, one populist and
the remaining one republican. That
the two latter will always vote to,
gether goes without saying. The pres
ent election law is good enough and
fair enough and should be let alone.

SOME OF those who approve the Presi-
dents recent war manifesto are profuse
in CAB about "Great Britain being ma
ton without friend" Friendship,
even among men, is but name, and
when self interest is involved amounts
to nothing. Among nations, it is even
less, and as monarchy is opposed to re-
publican government, it is absurd to
suppose that ia war between Great
Britain and the United States, European
governments would, on the ground Of
friendship" take the part of the latter.

similar action had been taken, as en-
phatically, in the case of Rev. Father

for every body interested in that case.

THE BROOKLYN people profess to be-

not the black pignant under his cuticle.
But some of them, hearing day or two
ago that reputable negro having some
money was going to buy nice house in
their immediate neighborhood and live
n it with his family, fearing that he
might get between the wind and their
gentility before any one of them could
raise the ready money requisite to over
come his bid, formed a syndicate for
that purpose, and thereby accomplished
their object. Northern professors of the
social equality of the races, when tested,
are found to apply only to the South.

THE TRANsvAAL EMBRoGLIo.

THE TRANSVAAL EMBROGLIO.
The war spirit is abroad among the
British. People of all classes support
the government in resenting the attitude
of Germany. There is great activity in
military and naval circles. The report
that combination Of powers has been
formed against Great Britain is gaining
ground. The German ambassador to
St. Petersburg, who has been in Berlin
comforting with the Emperor, has re-
turned to the Russian capital beariog a
letter from the Emperor to the Car
dealing with the Transvaal question.
The Transvaal government has de-
manded the Punishment of Cecil Rhodes
and DR.. Jameson from Africa, and the
payment by Great Britain of an indem-
nifty Of 81, 100000.
4 dispatch from Berlin to the New
York Herald says: The Emperor yes
terday summoned to Potsdam the chan
cellor, Admiral Knorr. commander.in-
chief of the navy, and Admiral Won
Holman, chief of the admiralty, to con-
cert military measures to be taken in
the event of England landing troops to
occupy the Transvaal. The feeling is
gaining ground that England intends
to occupy the Transvaal as guarantee
for the observance of the convention of
1884. The Emperor and the Gar of
Russia Yesterday exchanged dispatches
regarding the Kaiser's telegram to Pres
ident Kruger and the resulting conflict
with England, and Russia's co-opera-
ton with Germany is already assured.
France will registrate her policy by
that of Russia.
The Transvaal representatives in
Berlin are attempting to obtain French
support.
Count Won Hatfield has received in
structions to intimate to Lord Salisbury
that Germany will not permit the
slightest lesion Of the interests of per-
sons of German nationality.
The Duke of Saxe-C oburg- Gotha de-
plores DR.. Jameson's crime, and the

The STATES receipts from her i'm
mense and valuable oyster beds during
the last year amounted to less
than $4,000. The expense of the
three police oyster boats she main
tains is not given, but it must at least
equal that amount. If the making of
the oyster laws of the State were not,
as it is now, entrusted to those members
of the legislature whose reelection de-
ponds upon the votes of the oyster
catchers, her oyster interests would
grow and prosper, because they would
be secured, and her net revenue there
from be greatly increased.

White and Dixon.

The draw Tommy White made with
George Dixon of twenty rounds in New
York, in which the westerner showed
something better than even-that is,
showed he should have won had it
progressed to a finish-has set the Chi
cago boys friends wild over him. If
Tommy meets Dixon again, particu-
larly if 1t be to a finish there is
ton of money in Chicago to back his
chances. At their meeting Friday
night they were offering to / on Dix
on and prophetic scribes of the east
sang doleful chimes for the westerner.
DiXon's admirers will offer disserta-
tons upon the subject of his going
back, not considering, perhaps, how it
was that the colored champion could
stay at rushing clip for the best part
of an hour, pace at which the Chi
cagoan met him halfway at all times.
Possibly Dixon may not be quite as
good as he has been, but there will be
no use trying to make a mountain out
Of a molehill. He might have been a
degree or SO better on Friday night,

anything with Tommy. 1t is very safe
to say, all things considered, that Tom
my White has been of late coming
along much faster than the other has
been taking an opposite course, and for
some time out this way the Chicago
representative has been recognized the
best material in the boxing world to
stack against the colored wonder. If
Tommy retains as level a head as he
has within the past year there is no
reason why he should not be the next
featherweight champion. The little
Chicagoan's position toward the feath-
erweight championship and some other
aspirants for the title will be gone
over in this column at another time.

The articles of agreement signed Las
June by Jim Corbett and Tom Sharkey
in San Francisco. in regard to their
contemplated championship encounter,
calls for a finish, but the recent fight
talk coming from Frisco, note, is con-
sidering a ten-round go between theA
for the heavyweight championship
Up to this writing, however, Sharke
has not been heard from, and it is prob
able he will not agree to modify the
original finish into such a small NUM-
Der of rounds. But could there be a
bona-fide championship contest, limited
by ten rounds? 1t would be quite a
comedown, to say the least, and it
would probably be relegated to dis
tinct class OF its own, specified as ten
round championship contest, the win
ner being dubbed the ten-round heavy
weight champion. 1t may be eonsid-
cred if pugilism ever falls into this rut
there will be limit-round champion
ships, from one round up to hundred
or more, and herein there may be pos
sibly a solution of a division of the
spoils among the various heayies now
claiming the title. Let each claim his
special number of rounds, at which
Notch he feels he can lick anybody, and
stay to 1t consistently in his newspaper
talk
Regarding Corbett and Sharkey, the
supervisors of San Francisco have al
ready granted the boxers permit to
meet for ten rounds there when they
get ready. advise the sports of that
country to get two or three other ten
round permits, while they are at 1t, and
sew them together for this special &C.
casion. The nativity of 80 many gold
en- sons of the arena should not be the
first. to want to knock Anish institutions
down to ten rounds.
