The men have been bitter commercial
enemies for some time. One day, according
to some testimony given in court there
was big war between the merchants.
The number OF persons who saw tho
conflict in which Jennie Volpe was
struck in the face by Rodinsky was amaz-
ing.
The jury believed Jennie's story and
gave her verdict for $500 The Appel
late Court reduced the amount TO $500.
Rodinsky claims VOlpo agreed TO settle
the Judgment for Sl75.
Not only did Volpe refuse to settle FOR
the latter sum, but had Rodinsky put In
jail. The latter claims $l75 is all the
money he can raiso.and he will remain IN

ing won appointment in a competitive
examination. is causing considera Bile
comment. The plea is being made that
ne should be given a fair show. that
justice should be done him. Thus the
New York Commercial Advertiser says:
This is not a question of sentiment,
but of justice. Under the law young
Bundy will stand on precisely the
Sc me footing as other cadets. If he
misbehaves he should be expelled. If
he proves unable to keep up in the
required course of study he should be
dropped from the rolls. II he loyalty
observes the prescribed regulations and
demonstrates his proficiency in the Sc
we're course laid down at Annapolis, he
should receive the legitimate reward of
his fidelity and ability. There is an
enormous amount Of senseleSS preiu-
dice against colored people, solely be-
cause of their color, still in existence
among us. Sooner or later it must be
outgrown, or at any rate greatly modi-
fed. Seven or eight millions of black
citizens cannot be kept in ignorance
and subserviency forever. Colored men
of intellect and energy are certain to
come to the front in increasing num-
bers as time passes and their race pro-
crosses in education. They cannot be
eternally ignored or driven into OBJ
security.
Brains are mightier than prejudice
Right is stronger than injustice.
Young Bundy, like every other man,
black or white. who fairly earns adj
vancement. should stand on his own
merits and reap the result of his own
labors.
No one can dissent from that. It is
not a question of sentiment it is true,
but in a case like this of young Bundy's
strict and impartial Justice will still
make II very hard for him. The same
strict justice that is demanded for him
cannot insist that his fellow cadets
treat him as their social equal. If he
succeeds in graduating from the acad
envy he will find his life after that. if
he remains in the navy, much harder
than at the academy. But he is enti
tied to every chance that every other
cadet is. and the way in which he won
his appointment is an honor to him.

BAD DISEASES AND WORSE
CURES.

There are some things worse than
pictures of prize-ights. bad as those
pictures may be. One of the things
that is infinitely worse than such pic
lures is the continual appeal that is
being made to congress to use its pow
er to regulate interstate commerce to
kill everything that the good people
who are engaged in reforming man
kind. generally against mankind's will
and protest. do not find just to their
taste.
\ memorial has been issued to the
people of the United States favoring
the passage of the bill now before con-
gress to prohibit the transmission by
mail or interstate commerce of any
picture Ur description Of any prize-fight
or its accessories. This memorial is
signed by some very eminent men,
whose names attached to any instru
ment give it weight. This memorial
says in part:
The good name of the nation has
been outraged not so much by the dis
graceful event of a specially brutal en-
counter between two human beings as

plotting from first to last the prize

that it simply protects the more adj

which they describe" May the simple

The broad construction of the con-

eral government has made of the power
to regulate interstate commerce the
most dangerous in the constitution. 1t
has put into the hands of congress an
engine for the absolute destruction of
every state right, an engine more ter
rible than the taxing power. Who,
twenty-five years ago, would have be-
lieved it possible that a sovereign state

cate congress for power to regulate the
liquor traffic within its own borders?
Yet such was the result of the decision
in the original package case. a decision
that construed the powers of congress
under the interstate commerce clause
of the constitution. And now this i'm
mense power is to be invoked to muz-
