Knockout the kaleidoscope.

When Nevada. that parody on state

applauded her governor at the ringside.
some thought prize fighting was to
have occurred since lead to the opinion
that this was the moment when pride
was to topple and fall. Ex-senator
ingalls,, who disgraced himself-but
won't do so any more-by reporting the
combat has expressed his disgust, also
the opinion that pugilism will probably
be eliminated and finally disappear in
the course Of the evolution of the race.
To complete this process will of course
require time. hut it is not unreasonable
to suppose that the aggressiveness of
pugilism is soon to be on the wane.
There are several apparent causes why
this should be so. The defeat of Cor
bett was the defeat of the man who
the brutal accomplishment because
it was not his only one. He has no
successor in sight. The great expense
attending the fight could not be met
were it not for the hope to realize
handsomely from the microscopic
views of the fight. Already earnest
efforts to prohibit such exhibitions are
begun. The act of Utah, the several
deaths that have been brought about
in the plug ugly wave of excitement
ard example following the fight, have
served to arouse the public to need OF
more thorough suppression. The ma
tional w. c. r. U. have petitioned Con-
gress and the several states to forbid
the exhibition of the microscopic views
of the brutal scene. Congress has al
ready forbidden prize fighting in the
territories and district of Columbia.
There is almost if not quite as much
reason for prohibiting the kaleidoscope
exhibitions. Even John L. Sullivan was
Of the opinion that prize fights were
no places for women, yet it is proposed
to have men, women and children see
these views. Such exhibitions should
be prohibited. by Congress wherever it
has jurisdiction, and by the states
within their limits. This done prize
fighting will be largely deprived of it's
greatest incentive, the making of
money.
Archbishop Ireland in response
to query expressed this opin-
ion which should be repeated again
and again and, best of all, acted upon:
THE exhibition of the microscopic
reproduction of the Carson fight would
minister to morbid curiosity, awaken
low appetites and tend to render prize
lighting popular. ! hope that the good
sense and moral instincts of the Ameri-
can people, will not allow this contem-
plated exhibition to take place in any
part of our country"

Just when the arbitration treaty
seemed on the eve of passage the
brutal Eastern policy of the powers is
brought home to this country by the
notification that Crete is under block
AIDE. Those best versed in internation-
al law declare that American vessels
cannot lawfully be restricted by this
blockage. Indeed so intense is the feel
ing that trouble might ensue We're it
not for the fact that American ships
seldom if ever have occasion to visit
Crete. The underlying principle is
there just the same and the absurdity

party loyalty hasn't the weight of a

After some considerable reflection. we
