THE PRIZE FIGHT.

II is announced that the Federal au-
tborities will not interfere with the pro
nosed prize fight ut Carson. Nevada, ana
that the fight will certainly take place.
II will be pulled Off as money making
scheme for the purpose of advertising the
state and city in which it will occur and
in order that the crowd may be as large
as possible a bill has been introduced IN
the legislature fixing the price Of ad-
mission at one dollar head
If is a disgrace TO civilization that such
things should be. We love sport ana
would encourage the manly art OF SELF
defence. But prize fighting has nothing
I'm il whatever commendablc. 1t is brutal,
vicious, and in every sense demora'lzins.
Not only 50. but whenever such contests
are had, they draw large number oil
the worst element in the land, and If the
nrice of admission to the Carson nGht
shall be fixed at one dollar. nothing but
the great distance and insufficient ac-
commodations will avert the assembling
in that city Of the greatest number OF
toughs ever gathered together IN this
country
IL is said that the Federal authorities
have no right to interfere and We
suppose not. But We had hoped that
public sentiment against the brutal sport
was so thoroughly aroused that no State
in the Union, not even the dead state OF
Nevada. would dare to countenance u
prize night. The State OF Nevada ana
the city Of Carson Will get good bit
Of advertising by reason OF the fight but
il will be am advertisement OF lheir pub
lie shame.

Ofiicial notice was taken OF the matter
at the late Episcopal convention at Nash

TIE SENATE WILL NOT DARE
pEfIAr 1t.

Commenting upon the prospect Of the
.Anglo-American arbitration treaty and
the prospect OF its adoption BY the Sen
ate OF the United States, the London
Times OF last Monday says.
1T would not be civil for Us to asso-
ciate ourselves with the vigorous lam
guage employed By the New York papers
with reference TO the treaty as amended
in the Foreign Affairs Committee Of the
Senate Of the United States, but few Eng
lishmen will care TO dissent from the sub
stance Of their remarks. our faith IN the
Senate has been screly tried OF late years,
and shoulI they succeed in replacing tins
treaty by an empty sham il would be
all the more to be regretted because IL
would retard the general adoption
throughout the world Of the principle OF
arbitration.
Perhaps Lord Salisbury will be willing
TO ratify mere abortivc agreement. but
we fear for the result despite the be
lief of the people of both countries ln
the policy Of arbitration and the general
desire for Il treaty OF this character.
in the face Of the silence If President
elect Mckinley We must prepare our
selves for disappointment and for either
a sham treaty or none"
We 10 not blame the Times for ITS dis
trust Of the United States Senate. Ihat
body has become little more than u col
lection OF boss politicians whose whole
attention is occupied with arrangement
Of plans and schemes to keep control OF
the rings in their States, which send them
back to the Senate in consideration Of pay
in political pap Of one sort and another.
Patriotism and u broad consideration Oh
questions from the standpoint OF the pub
lie good have long since departed from
The Senate, and have little more place
there now than they have in ward
meeting Of heelers ana bummers.
But the London Times need not fear
that the Senate viii dare emasculate the
arbitration treaty TO the point OF max
ing it a sham treaty. Amendments may
he made to it, and We are not sure
but some amendments should Doe made.
But the Senate viii not dare interfere
with the great and foundation proposition
upon which the treaty rests. That all
serious controversies between this coun-
try and Great Britain are 10 BIO LETT 10
arbitration. The country almost unanl-
mously, rose up TO declare its approoa-
ton Of that humane and Christian prin-
chile when it was announced that the
treaty had been signed, and the coun-
Try is determined that the principle shall
be accepted by this Government now
that it knows the English people have
accepted it, and the Senate VIII not put
itself in the way OF This aspiration Of the
American people.
