The manly art of self-defense as ex-
emplified by Gentleman Jim" has
proved again that prize-fighting, slog-
ging and championship rib-breaking
brings the devotee of the art to the
british level and makes him a beast of
the lowest order. Here is the So
called champion of the world, Cali
fornian. who was to give so much OF
decent character and high form to the
slogging business, and who has accord
guilty of kicking a man after he was
down, man very much smaller and
lighter than himself, and who was an
officer doing his duty and enforcing a
wise regulation of the fire department
Of Philadelphia He had trouble with
the officer. being clearly himself in the
wrong, and when under fisticuffs his
antagonist went down, what did this
"gentlemanly bruiser do? Why, act
the coward and the brute and proceed
to kick his PROSTATE antagonist brut-
ally, mercilessly. Oh. yes. pugilism is
a refining thing, and the ''art" in the
prize-ring develops manliness and
honor. To be sure it does!
The latest plea of the few remaining
advocates of railroad ownership by the
Government is that the experiment

Sorry for Him, Nit.

That was sad thing which happened
to Mr.. Russell Sage yesterday, the
Appellate division Of the Supreme court
affirming an order of the lower court
which gave decision in favor OF William
e. Lsidlaw and against Mr.. Sage for
$4,000 damages, not to mention costs
amounting to $1,000. This is within
$4,000 Of the amount Laidlaw originally
sued for as o recompense for having been
converted into a human shield at the
time Of Mr.. Norcross' bomb explosion,
Mr.. Laidlaw's allegement being that
Mr.. Sage so converted him and thus
saved his own valuable person to the
great detriment OF Laidlaw. OF course,
Mr.. Sage can carry his case to the Court
of Appeals, and, Of course, he will carry
ii. He will carry it through every stage
Of the law and the prophets, from the
cradle to the grave, before he will pay
red cent Of it. He can't help but do it.
He is built that way. The only trouble
about prolonging this litigation is that
it affords opportunities to that unfeeling
person, Joe Choate, to rake up such old
personalities as the parable Of Dives and
Lazarus. When we say that the entire
sentiment Of this community is with Mr..
Sage in this matter but we haven't
Iaid it. Even the Sublime Porte could

that the differences are ss irreconCilsble

tion In 1860. In his letter he says:
"The struggle then was for the exten-
sion of slavery in the Territories. Now
the issue is whether money or the peo-
pie shall rule. AS see it, the conVen.
tion is bound to split again when it
meets. No fair dealing can be expected
from the men who foisted on as the
silver plank in the last national plat
form. No fair dealing can be expected
from the men who defeated Hardin IN

vented the election Of Blackburn. ANY

RUSSIAN BANKING.

The editor of the Chicago FinGnCic
ReVie1O, writing from New York on th
general subject of loans, Criticises th
American bankers narrow policy, an
refers to what the government Of Ru
Via does for the people Of that conntr!
"Russisn banking" he says, sin on
particular at least is considerable
ahead of the world. The ImperiE
bank advances money at AZ per CEN
year on goods of all kinds to the o.
tent of about two.thirds of their MAJ
ket value, and takes money on deposi
in various sums at IL per cent. intel
est. One dispatch states that a shoI
time ago in order to assist the graf
trade the government bought direC
from the producers, which makes tn
government one of the largest holders
The government has nearly completes
the obtainment Of private rsilrosl
lines, and the sugar and coal monopC
lies are likely to follow, without count
ing spirits which have largely beel
taken charge Of by the government
ostensibly to purify their quality a
well as the infamous manner In Whicl
certain spirit Venders have abused tn
business"
Commenting on this leadership o.
Russian bankers, the writer proceeds
"There is something in all this to at
tract the attention of American bank
ers, particularly those disposed to siC
American producers who now get little
or no aid to carry them over in seasons
of depression. There is also room here
for bankers as q body to initiate some
general movement by q general sub
scription among themselves to locate
banks on or near the fields of prod ace
to loan upon produce at rates that pro
ducerS can pay and live.
"For some unexplained reason, Amer.
lean bankers have not entered the field
of loans upon produce except in lso-
lated cases ia large cities where the
produce is in grain elevators, storage
warehouses, and on cold storage. But
these are more In behalf of the middle
men than producers, except as they
benefit certain manufacturers located
In large cities"
Then, without knowing it, he adVU-
Gates the Populist doctrine Of getting
the lender and borrower near each
other In close business relation. SIN
point Of fact" he concludes, sit is
sound banking business to loan the
grower Of produce by means of near. by
storage warehouses; 1t is done by all
he principal banks of Europe, and is
here considered as good as any other
collateral. The demand in this country
'or loan accommodations of this kind
8 widespread, particularly for fair
lesling banks; and while this field is
unoccupied to-day, is
'nly explained by the fact that
he bankers have not trained
themselves that way. In the
lnion of banking interests under State
organizations, q due consideration to
'romote a greater popularity among
he plain people, would do them no
lsrm. Bankers should note that q

The following story is told of John
Brennan of Stevens Point as Grim
inal lawyer. The story goes that q
farmer who had killed his wife in the
northern part Of the state sent for Mr..
Brennan to defend him, offering to
deed him his farm if he would take the
case. Brennan wanted his pay in adj
vance and so the farmer made over the
property to him. The murder was a
most brutal and cold-blooded one and
Brennan knew that there was but one
plea that might save his client from
a life sentence and that was insanity.
The trial was one of the fercest ever
fought in Wisconsin court. The at
torney for the defense occupied whole
day in his closing address to the jury
and the effort was mastery one. The
Jury found the man insane and he was
sent to Oshkosh. Once there he i'm
proved rapidly and in a few weeks was
discharged His first act was to sue
Brennan for the recovery Of his prop
erty on the ground that he was insane
at the time he decided 1t.
In the face Of his own argument that
the man was insane Brennan could do
nothing and the farmer won the case.
Brennan has blacklisted insanity as a
defense for murderers.-M Milwaukee
