policy is likely TO be successful for two
reasons. In the first place 1t is reason
able, and no citizen entitled to hear
ing can complain that II interferes with
any right An ultimate reason why it
viii be successful is that there are some
amusements which die out as socn as
they are made respectable.
The great money made by fighters.
the enormous mobs which assemble
around the ring. and the exorbitant fees
OF admission paid are all due to tie ex-
pectation that there will be a fearful
and bloody encounter, and because
prizefghting is forbidden. A measure
which takes out all prospects of blood
curdling examinations and removes all
need for surreptitious meetings, will
rob these encounters Of all interest for
that class which can afford to pay for
its forbidden amusements.
The policy is to be commended be-
cause 1t is that which should be ap-
piled In all cities to the habits of their
people. There should be no extreme.

What are we going 10 do with the north

enough for scientific and geogra phical and

The dangers Of an ordinary balloon jour-

Arctic winds and temperature. 1t Is doubt

Croker. the Infamous Croker, who has
never told where he got IT, is defendant
Ia libel suit in New York. and may at
last have TO answer some very uncomfort-
able questions. Croker caused to be printed
In the New York Morning Telegraph. a
Tamulany organ, serious charges against
the personal character and official admin
istratiou OF Col. George e. waring, jr..
commissioner Of street cleaning. That the
charges were wholly unfounded is gener-
biiy believed from the fact that under Col
Waring. New York streets have been kept
clean for the first time in history. The
commissioner has sued Croker and the
Telegraph for 100000. and he says he is
going to push 1t. Libel suits are awkward
things and seldom result; satisfactorily 10
