THAT mysterious airship still con.
tinues TO show itself in the West. 1t
was first seen in California, and it has
now reached Kansas. With rare
modesty it only makes its appearance
at night, and then but little is visible
except the lights that are on board OF
it, The fact that the scores Of people
who have seen it at different times all
agree in the descriptions which they
furnish is certainly something in ia.
vor of the truth of the story. AS the
inventor appears to be working his
way East, we, in this latitude, may
soon have an opportunity of adding
to the number of observers.

Thus you see the importations have
risen from 81 $4,000 under the Nc.
Kinley bill to sl2,658,OOO under the
Wilson bill, and At once show to this
Congress that we must have such
tariff as is provided for in the meas.
ure under consideration
But another important feature 10
which | desire to refer is that through
the Wilson bill prices were SO re
duced by foreign competition that
the manufacturers Of lumber, to do
any business at all, were compelled
to cut down the wages of their EN-
ployees, and thus many laboring meu
lost employment and those who could
find employment were cut down to
the very lowest wages, that the man.
ulacturer might be able TO fad any
market for his product, Aud herein
lies the great evi. of your free.trade
statutes. 1t is absolutely true thai
We always have good times when la
Dor is fully employed at good wages
Let Us now, without regard to par
ty feeling or party prejudice measur,
up to the full standard Of our dutI
which we owe to the people Of thi
country, and let US by passing thi
bill again give that prosperity to thi
Republic which its resources admit c
aud to which its citizens are entitled
In conclusion, let me say that tn

BUSINESS is represented to be
"quiet." This is usually the case
when tariff changes are under way.
Not till the Dingley bill is in final
shape can the great industries adjust
themselves to the coming conditions.
This is why President Mckinley
acted wisely in bringing Congress to.

cans in the House are sensible in
pushing the bill vigorously. The IN
certainty will soon end, and the busi

IT is impossible for an idle man to
keep together a stock of knowledge
which he may have attained at col.
lege. 10 order to keep even, to say
nothing Of Improvement, We must
digest and assimilate a sufficient
amount of new facts each day, and
form q sufficient number Of new ideas
to make up for those that are con-
stantly fading from our memories
And if we would grow and progress
we must regularly feed our minds
copious supplies Of nourishing food
The trouble with great many col
lege graduates is that they imagine
themselves educated and equipped
for most anything, because they have
a diploma. They know 1t all, anC
make no further efforts to obtaiI
knowledge. As a result they see ev
cry day, men whose advantages 0
education were not inferior to thei
own, but who continue to study AM
improve, oulstriping them in the rae
of life. II is a fatal mistake to as

IT is the purpose of the French
government to add to its already fine
navy 45 warships of the most i'm.
proved design and 175 torpedo boats
The aggregate cost of these vessels
will be between Sl50,000,000 and
S160,000,000, and their construction
is to be accomplished within eight
years. How different the French
line Of conduct from that of the
United States. In the last Congress
the proposal to arrange for the con.
struction of four warships was first
reduced to two, then to one, and even
that was not contracted for, and all
because the cheeseparers raised how
about not having the money to build
the vessels. France has not at thi
moment the amount which she ex
poets to spend on her work, but sh,
will get it as it is needed aud that i
what the United States should hav
done. -PhiLa. Inquirer.

MURDERER EBANKS.
The Case Again Brought Before
the u. S. District Court.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 30.-A sec
ond time the attorneys for Joseph
Japnet Ebanks have applied TO the
United States District Court TO save
their client from the rope, and for the
first time they have diverged from the
path marked out by Theodore Durfaht.
This morning Attorneys j. ). Cailen'
Eugene n. Deuprey and Louis 4.
Boardman filed with the Clerk OF the
District Court a petition for writ OIL
habeas corpus to try the legality OF the
detention of Ebanks by the Warden
of san Quentin Prison. The document
relates the history of Ebanks' trial, IN
Guiding the previous attempt to free
him by habeas corpus in the Federal
courts. the denial of the writ on that
occasion. the appeal from Judge De
Haven,s Judgment, and the fact that
that appeal is still pending before the
Sunreme Court of the United States.
The uetition alleges that While that
appeal was pending, to-wit, on No
yember 3. 1897, Judge Terrence, in the
Superior Court of San Diego, resen-
fenced Ebanks to die on December .,
1897. which act was in violation OF the
rights guaranteed the prisoner by the
Constitution of the United States
An appeal from the judgment OF the
District Court, claim the attorneys Tor
Ebanks, stays all proceedings in the
State courts until the appeal is decided
Judge De Haven agreed to convene
court and hear the petition. The mat
ter was to have been argued this af-
ternoon, but by mutual consent argu-
ment was deferred until date 10 be

TOMMY RYAN BESTS BILLY Stiff
GIVEN THE DECISION IN THE
SIXTH ROUND.
Had the Best of the Contest From
the Start, Forcing the Fighting
All the Way Through.

CHICAGO, Nov. 30-Tommy Ryan
of Syracuse was given the decision to-
night over Billy Stiff of Chicago in the
sixth round of what was to have been
a twelve round bout Ryan had all the
best of the fight from the start, forced
the hghting all the way through, and
had Stlft in bad condition when the po-
lice interfered. If the fight had gone
on as it went for six rounds. Stiff
would have been out at the end of the
eighth round at tbs. fartherest. Ryan
weighed 146 pounds and Stiff weighed
167 pounds. George Siler acted as ref
cree.
Both men spared cautiously in the
opening round, which closed with
Ryan shooting heavy left on Stift's
jaw, and landing hight one on the
body.
In the second and following rounds
Stiff kept on the defensive in his cor
ner, and Ryan was hot after him.
The third round was Ryan's all the
way through, and at the close of the
fourth Ryan dazed Stiff by putting his
left hare on the right eye.
In the fifth round it simply fained
him hard and often When the round
closed Stift's right eye was closing, the
right side of his face was puffed out,
and he was badly punished, Ryan hav-
ing rained blows upon his face, on his
jaw and over the heart. Throughout
the round, Stiff was wild. but he man
aged TO get a hard left swing on Ryan's
jaw.
In the sixth round Ryan landed a left
on Stifts bad eye, and put a right
on the jaw, following it up with left.
Stiff lost his head, and although the
agreement was that the men were to
break clean, he clung to Ryan and
fouled him repeatedly with short arm
blows, while the men were clinched
Ryan landed a hard right and left
on the jaw, and Stiff put hard right
on the body, the best blow he struck
in the fight. Ryan put his left on the
jaw, and, swinging round caught Stiff
with his right on the jaw and sent him
to the floor, where lie was for nine
seconds Ryan then put his right on
the jaw twice in succession, his left on
the eye and was following Stiff hard
with right and left swings, every one
cf them getting home in good shape,
when the gong sounded.
Stiff was badly beaten and the police
stoppad the fight. it being evident that
Stiff would not last over one or two
more rounds
The fight was for purse of 81. 800,
the loser to have $500.
The first bout of the evening was be-
tween Mike Roach and Harry Forbes,
both local, 105 pounds. The decision
was given to Forbes.
Peter Boyle of Chicago and William
Moore of Syracuse. n. - went six
fast rounds, both men doing clever
work. Boyle knocked Moore to the
floor with a left in the face in the sec
ond round. Honors Were easy up to
the sixth, when Boyle got in a success
sion Of left jabs that demoralized the
Eastern man. The decision was given
to Boyle.
