RENO's LITTLE BLUFF.
May Start Legal Complications to r,
cent the Fight

May Start Legal Complications to Pre-
vent the Fight.
RENO, New, Feb. 13.-From present in
dications Corbett will not give a boxing
exhibition in Reno Tuesday night without
trouble. The police officials have notified
the manager of the opera house here that
in accordance with the recently enacted
law, $1,000 must be paid for license before
the exhibition will be allowed. The attor-
neys differ in opinion as to whether the act
is intended to cover boxing exhibitions,
but at any rate the authorities will make
test case of the coming show.
Behind this apparently simple matter
which might be settled by CoIbett's re-
fusing to spar, there is strong feeling
among the religious element that the big
fight shall not come off March IL. The
opponents to the fight say it could be
stopped very easily. They propose to
make test case, in which the constitu-
tionality of the recent act of the Legisla-
ture will be questioned.

HARD BLOW At BUSHNELL.

Hts Favorits Defeated for a County Com
natttee Chairmanshtp.
COLUMBUS, OHIO. Feb. Ex-Governor
Bushnell's Senatorial arbirations received
a hard blow in his own county to-day in
the organization of the County Commit
tee when George Beard, Mckinley man,
defeated Samuel Wilkinson for chairman,
Wilkinson being Governor BushnelPs ia
vorite. The defeat of the Governor in his
own county was very quietly worked and
his friends did not know until the vote
was taken that Wilkinson would have op-
position. 1t apparently means the defeat
of McGraw, the Governors son-in-law, for
the nomination for State Senator for
which he was announced.

The Ratified Bridegroom.

A minister in Columbus says that
women have more nerve than men as a
rule This, he says, is especially the
case when it comes to marrying. Some
time since he was called to marry a
young couple in what might be called
the aristocratic circle. The young man
was very much excited, but was trying
to put on bold face for the emergency.
To show that he was not frightened in
the least he concluded to ask the minis
ter if it was customary to kiss the bride.
After suffering for some time he final
ly broke out, "Is cussing kistomary?"
The minister kindly informed him that
it was not under the circumstances, and
the young man was led to the altar like

as real as the visible and tangible thing

uted to over stimulation during the
boom years between the close of the war
and the reactionary period which set in
about 1890, and with some reason, for in
1887 there were 1898 miles of new tracks
laid, while in 1896 only l,84S miles were
laid. But table of statistics published
recently in the London Engineer giving
railway mileage of the different countries
would Justify the impression that there
is plenty of room for railway building in
this country yet.
For example, according to the tables
in question, the railway mileage in Bel
GUM is 29.1 to the hundred SO uare miles;
in Great Britain 1866; in the Netherlands
1876; in Germany 1876; in Switzerland
l3.l; in France lis; in Italy rs, and in
the United States 81. OF course the
population of these countries to the
Thousand square miles of territory is
also considerably greater than in the
United States, but not in proportion to
the railway mileage thus estimated, and,
therefore, with revival of business and
in view of the dissolution of the Steel
Rail trust, it would not be surprising if
there should be a considerable revival
in railway construction in the near future.

BOSSlSM REPUDIATED,

The late municipal election in Cincin
natl conclusively proves that the people
of that oity had done with political boss
ism. The verdict at this election was a
strong reputation of political job
berry as exemplifed by such men as
George B. Cox and others of this
ilk who trade in politics as huoksters
trade in apples. When these high
handed party bosses attempted to hold
up the president until he would surrender
to them the patronage of his Office for
Ohio, the people of their county quietly
decided to administer q stirring rebuke.
Accordingly mixed or fusion ticket was
nominated against the Cox combine,
and upon the occasion of the recent
election those noisy and meddlesome
politicians were buried under an ava
lanche of over 1000 votes. This was the
answer of the citizens of Hamilton coun-
ty to boss rule of which they apparently
have had enough.

A JUST ReBuKE.


The A. p. A. council at Omaha recently
sent to Senator Allen of Nebraska COM
munication in which the senator was in
structed to vote against the confirmation
of any known Catholic appointed by the
president. To this foolish piece of in
tolerance, Senator Allen replied that he
had taken an oath to support the consti-
tuition of the United States as we'll as that
of the state of Nebraska, and that he in
tended to strictly observe his obligations
in both cases. Continuing he says:
II could not, if 80 inclined, vote to re-
ject competent and worthy man for a
public position to which he might be ap-
pointed by the president because of his
church connection or religious belief, nor
would do so under any circumstances"
This act of perjury, the senator properly
remarks, "no constituent has the right to
ask me to commit"
1t is almost incredible that in this en-
lightened age, any great number of Amer
lean citizens should band together for the
propagation of such doctrine as is in
dicated in the request sent to Senator
Allen, and his prompt and manly answer
to these fanatics is deserving of general
commentator.
1t is clear enough, as he says, that he
could not vote against the confirmation
of worthy appointee of the president on
account of his religious belief or church
connection, even if he we're so inclined.
We supposed that it was generally UNDER
stood by intelligent American citizens
that the government of the United States
is completely and forever divorced from
the church, and that any citizen, regard
less of his religious belief, if otherwise
qualified, is eligible to any office in the
the gift of the people. Itseems, however,
that the Omaha organization was unaware
of the constitutional provisions in this
case, and Senator Allen deserves the
thanks of the whole country for the terse
and forcible manner in which he has con-
veyed the needed information.
