Much has been written within the
past few days of AN alleged prize-hght
in he Hall OF Representatives at
Dover Az a matter of fact there was
no prge-fght. It was merely a glove
contest between two Dover boys, six
ounce gloves being used. and the pad
ding being kept over the knuckles.
Two years ago two such contests were
given there, and this is the second one
of the present session. The contest
only lasted two rounds and a-half and
stopped because one Of the boxers lost
his wind. There was a good deal of
the fake about the whole business. and
all the boys wanted was a little money
which they got by passing around the
hat Immediately after they were
through sparring. Clerk of the House
Spicer was not referee, for there was
no such official, but one of those who
dropped in after the boys had theh
coats off held the watch and called
time for them. The whole affair only
lasted six minutes, and nobody was
hurt but those who failed to have an
opportunity to see the encounter. In
fact it was regarded as a joke unit
distorted in the papers into something
more serious.

CONTEMPORARY OPINION.
COMMERCIAL GEOGRAPHY.

Great cities are seldom pre-emlnent
for any particular line of manufac-
lures. Their industries are too large
and diversified for any of them to show
marked superiority over all the rest.
Now and then a great industry of some
city is taken from it. When ships were
made of wood London was the greatest
shipbuilding centre of the world. Then
iron ships came into use and London
has lost her shipbuilding trade, which
has been transferred to the Clyde, the
Tyne, and the Wear, right at the
sources of iron and coal supplies.
The great vessels in which most
ocean commerce is now carried have
severely affected the interests of some
ports. Cities that once were seapOrts
are now inland as far as any great
amount OF ocean traffic is concerned.
The largest ships of commence could
once sail up the Avon to Bristol and
the Severn to Gloucester. The far
| larger ships that now carry commerce
cannot reach these places. but are COM

THE FEDERAL PATRONAGE.

Three days ago the news was sent up
from Washington that President Nc
Kinley had decided to make Colonel
Henry A. Dupont the dispenser Of all
Federal patronage coming to Della
ware This was stated with such a de-
gree Of positiveness that many persons
believed It. II was assumed that
President Mckinley felt that il
Colonel DUPONT was not the United
States senator from Delaware he ought
to be, and that he would recognize him
accordingly.
This led to jubilation in the camp
of the regular Republicans, and they
marched around in high feather for a
few hours, confident that the Addicks-
ties had been bowled out completely.
But their happiness was short-lived,
for just as they were congratulating
themselves that everything was right
the news was wired from Washington
that j. Edward Addicks and delega-
ton of his lieutenants had been to
Washington, called on President Nc
Kinley and received from him positive
assurance that he had in nowiss
recognized Colonel DUPONT as dispenser
OF patronage for the State Of Delaware
The Addicksites were careful to give
this denial of the presidents as muci
publicity as possible. and so The mat
ter stands in as complicated a condi
tion as ever.
Had the statement proved true i
would have been a decided victory 70
the regulars and tended to cause dis
integration Of the forces of the ga
man, for no Addicksite could hope 70
any consideration from Colonel Du
Pont. He owes them nothing but re
venge for his defeat. and his Who'll
sympathy is with the regulars.
AS the situation now is the Addicks
ties may still be applicants for Fedora
office with some slight show of sue
cess. But we repeat the predictio
that ,he regulars will come in for neal
ly all of the desirable positions. The
are so hopeful that they must hay

great mortality The probable popula-
tion of the world has for long been a
subject of debate. In the last century
Voltaire thought that ] 500 millions
was not an excessive estimate, but Vol
ney fifty years later, would not allow
that there were more than 437 millions.
Then, in the early years of Queen Vic
torias reign, Berghaus calculated the
total at 272 millions, but his contem-
porary, Balbi, made II no more than
739 millions.
The subject is confessedly one OF
difficulty and such eminent authorities
on the subject as Behm and Wagner
in 1880 calculated the total at | ,456 mil
lions and some of the other items con-
sequently less, but the Jews million

Greek or Eastern Church, 40 millions
Roman Catholics, 231 millions; Jews
millions; Mohammedans. 206 mil
! lions heathens 796 millions. There
are now about four millions of native
Christian converts. It is estimated
! that the natural increase of the hea-
| then in the course of century has
been 200 millions, and during the same
period the numerical increase of ma
| tive Christians has been such that the
| total is now millions. The proper

FARNHuRsT YINDIcATED.

The trustees Of the Delaware State
Hospital at Farnhurst and superin-
tendent Hancker could not have hoped
for or desired a more complete en-
dorsement Of the administration Of the
asylum than that given by the
Legislative Committee in its report sub
mitted to the General Assembly and
adopted by that body yesterday. They
get all that they contended for and
much more than they expected, and
what more could they wish?
With an appropriation of 800 900 and
thirty-five acres of land additional. not
to mention the public vindication that
the institution has received, the trus-
tees and superintendent ought to ac-
complish great things within the next
two years.
Ever since the Pisa incident a cloud
has been hanging over the asylum and
this was deepened by charges of NAL
administration made by dismissed OF
disgruntled attendants from time to
time. The Legislative Committee took
all these things into account and after
considering them carefully came 70 The
conclusion that the administration o.
the asylum was all that could be ex
pected of those in charge OF it, This OF
