PUGILISM STILL ALIVE.

We are again reminded this morning
that pugilism has not died out" The
publie's attention TO the details of a
fight is just as rapt as it WAS hundred
years ago.
PugiiiSm is very old. For the last two
hundred years it has been much the
same as ii is today. Battles have been
pulled off, with just as much difficulty
year after year as they are today. One
hundred years ago the sports of London
had experiences similar to our sports
escapades today. Beau Brummel and
the Prince Of Wales (afterward George
w. Richard Brinsley Sheridan and the
rapid crowd of that period used to fol
low up the 'pugs' just as a coterie fol-
day
Then, as now, the authorities were
rerpetually appearing and firing the
crowd cur of one county into another
until il at last found a place where the
fight could proceed unmolested.
Then there was talk among the old
fighters that pugilism was dying out
The best men were going; and no good
young ones We're coming up TO take
their places; and the public was getting
tired Of the sport.
But the public. at least the sporting
Part Of it, never did tire. and pugilism
is as much alive to-day as it ever was

WORTH m WARES.

The growth of the business Of the late
Mr.. Steinway was an instance of the
power of excelling qualities in wares.
All over the United States the people
are passing out of the extrayagant Gus
tom of buying things simply because
they are cheap and on the bare repre-
sentation that they are first-clasS. Deal
ers in various wares are seeking to es-
tablish their reliability by giving guar
antees. which have now become com
mon thing. These guarantees are no;
so much worthless paper, as many sup
pose. but are, on the contrary, evidences
of a sincere desire of the dealer to im-
press on his customers the superiority of
his goods and to back up his declaration
that they are so. For long years of bust
ness history show that a prosperous
business can only be retained by max
ing good every representation In the
sale of an article the name is every
thing, just for this simple reason. When
the quality fails the name suffers. and
no sensible dealer wants his name to
fail on that account

lift the United States out Of the IMAM
cial and Industrial rut into which her
people have fallen. But there is well
nigh universal demand that the people
of Cuba be recognized in their plea for
the right to fight. They are struggling
for liberty, manfully, herOically and per-
sistently struggling, and the attitude OF
this government for more than year
has been one Of apparent cowardly IN
difference. If Mr.. Cleveland falls TO
embrace this bis last opportunity to re-
feet the sentiment of the people, ne WIN
have sacrificed his last chance TO save
his administration. He was guilty OF
one brave and statesman-hke act IN the
Venezuelan case, and for which the
American congress and people unani-
mously applauded him. That one evil
dence OF backbone was followed by me
most satisfactory results Why did ne
not display equal wisdom and courage
when confronted by the Cuban aues-
lion? Cuba is an American country as
surely as is Venezuela. If the Monroe
Doc,rine does not reach the case OF
Cuba her cause at least demands recog-
milton. Weyler's campaign of starva-
ZION. outrage and massacre should be
speedily ended even though it involved
a war with Spain.

TO THE RESCUE.

The Associated Press dispatches from
Washington City yesterday were TO the
effect that Mr. Cleveland had finished
his final message TO congress save as TO
his views and recommendations touch
ing the Cuban question. That the pres
emit administration has proved remiss
and very lame in It's Cuban policy is
held TO be true, especially in the western
and southern safes. and that without re-
gard 10 party. There is no demand in
the west for the annexation of that land
either by purchase or conquest There is
no disposition TO go 10 war with Spain,
although such j war would no doubt

CLEvELAND's LAST ATTEMPT.

If Mr.. Cleveland's administration has
proved conspicuous for one failure more
than another. it has been in its failure
on the nancial question. The political
upheaval Of the west and south over the
! money question is directly traceable to
Mr.. Cleveland's money convictions and
syndicate deals. In the midst of all his
troubles growing out of an inadequate
revenue, both he and Mr. Carlisle were
continually asserting that the greenback
must go. 1t is now the rumor that he
in his message, and his secretary in his
ANIMAL and final report of the treasury,
will both urge upon congress the re-
tirement Of all outstanding legal tenders
by the issuance of from three hundred
to five hundred millions of bonds, with
which it is proposed TO talks up the u.
S. notes. Cleveland's idea may be a
sound gold-basis one, but what about
the American people? They do not want
the volume of currency cHrtaiIed, dc not
want any greater interest bearing debt,
and the probability is that they would
not stand either. The greenbacks in
times of panic and when the monetary
conditions are against us may be men,
ace to the gold reserve, but greenback
bears no interest and it is as good as
gold.
Possibly the present volume of cur
rency might be maintained by increas
ed national bank issues, but the feast
bility of such proposition has not been
demonstrated. National banking has
not proved profitable business for the
six years last past. Nobody desires to
SO invest their capital.
Our own opinion is that there will be
little il any change in the monetary
policy of the government for the next
four years, outside of the effort which
President Mckinley will make in the di-
| rection of international bimetailism and
that farther after the first four months
| there will be no deficits in the general
revenues permitted.

ANNExING HAWAII AND CUBA.

Mr.. John w. Foster says that the only
way out for Hawaii is annexation to the
ni.ed States. The chances are that
this is what the United States will do.
The acquisition of Hawaii is not looked
upon by the United States as an infrac-
ton Of the national tradition against
conquest. 1t is a peaceable conquest,
no doubt, but Hawaii would become as
much part of the United States as Cal
ifornia would make us more vulnerable
to invasion, more open to insult and i'm
pose on us the new duty Of taking care
of our possessions" We now own no
islands of the immediate coast, and 1t
has always been considered best that
we did not. But events have so turned
that there is not the feast doubt that We
will soon have beth Hawaii and Cuba.
These are bot iIaeartGpt and valuable
stragetical points. hut as strategy Is not
in our game, their acquisition by us ap-
pears to be something like coaxing a
man to shoot at You by painting q pis-
tol at him.
There will be great opposition to the
annexation of either of the islands or
both. 1t may be best that our province
on the continent extends no further
than to cut short European aggression
by a vigorous insistance of the Monroe
Doctrine.
1t would be more In keeping with our
past policies to let Hawaii and Cuba
become republics and take the response
h:lity of having them so remain, without
going to the length of making them part
and parcel with US.

AND SO THEY PARTED.

Topeka, the capital of Kansas, al
though always having made great pre-
tensions to goodness, is no entirely free
of moral weaknesses. Her people abhor
the open saloon, but are given TO social
clubs, the tables of which never fail OF
the ruddy, the sparkling and the stimu-
lating. Like all other towns, Topeka
boasts its good and, as far as possible,
ignores its bad. 1t consequently is Civ
en- TO great deal of ignoring and en-
during. If reports be true, it is matri-
monially the most infelicitous city in
the state. Divorces and separations
abound, and the deserted wives, who
number hundreds, are recognized as a
distinct set. They outnumber the frail
and the unfortunate. 1t farther seems
that the editor of the Mail and Breeze
becoming worried, alarmed or otherwise
interested in the fact that the town con-
tanned four hundred men who are not
living with the living women who We're
formerly their respective wives, ad-
dressed note to each, begging explain
atoms. These replies he subsequently
tabulated and published. The principal
reasons, or the most numerous ones as
signed by the men for the desertion OF
home were as follows:
/. Tee many whist parties in the
afternoon, to the neglect of household
duties. Nearly all the replies say en-
phatically that woman has no more
right to shirk her work during the day
than a man.
.. Excessive piety. All the writers.
without exception, say that they object
to women paying more attention to
their church than they pay to their
homes. One of the runaways says:
MY greatest cross was religious wife,
who devoted so much time TO church
going. raising money, etc, that my home
and children We're neglected"
3. Impossible ideals. The letters in
dictate that the deserted women regard
ed themselves as angels and their hus-
bands as brutes. although the men Were
as good as the women.
4. Foolishness. Many of the letters
indicate that the women were foolish,
and refused to learn anything. They
had been spoiled by the world, and be-
lieved that they were perfectly satisfac-
tory to everybody except their hus-
