PUZZLES THE UNINlTIATED,
Terms Used In Designating the Different
Glasses of Pugllists.

Terms Used In Designating the Different
Glasses of Pugllists.
From the New York Telegram: Pu-
gilistic titles continue to mystifiy those
who take an interest in boxing. Weight
is the question which causes all
the argument Formerly when match
was made the conditions were provid-
ed that the contestants would "give
or take two pounds, as that was not
considered an undue advantage for
either man. Nowadays when two box
ers arrange a match they stipulate that
each shall weigh certain number Of
pounds at certain hour, and the man
who exceeds the weight agreed upon
usually forfeits a snug sum. Ere!
quently the man who is at weight de-
clines to go on with one who exceeds
the stipulated, and Shylock never hag4
gled more over a pound of flesh than
two modern boxers trying to make a
match. At times, when boxer thinks
he has an easy proposition, he will
concede pounds without murmur,
but when his prospective opponent is
a dangerous man the scales are scru-
tinized for unauthorized ounces. Some
years ago the divisions between the
boxers were marked by the terms ban
tam, feather weight, lightweight, well
ter weight, middle weight, and heavy
weight, Heavy weights were men at
1853 pounds, or oyer; middle, 142 to 15S;
weller, 1873 to 49,. light, 1872 to 1885,
feather, not exceeding, 1872; bantams,'
105 to lis. Those limits are now I'M
recognized. Every boxer insists on
sparring at the particular weight at
which he can do his best work, and the
managers scheme to secure weight con-
dltions calculated to embarrass an OPP
ponent. There are men who style
themselves champions at nearly every
weight from los to 158 pounds. In the
heavy weight division weight cuts no
figure, as any man weighing 1853 pounds
or over Is in that class. Fitzsimmons
conceded a dozen pounds to Corbett,
and the latter gave that much to Sui
Ivan. Caspar Icons claim to the
lO5-pound championship of America is
case In point. Leon has been twice
oefeated by Barry, the Chicago boy,
who Is undoubtedly the bantam cham
plon OF America. However. "Parson"
Davies admits that Barry cannot box
much below 10S pounds. although at
one time he got down to 1Q2 pounds.
therefore, as Leon can get. into the
ring at lO5 pounds, and Barry can not,
tn the former has a technical claim to
the lO5-pound championship. At the
same time, Barry says he will. mot con-
test the point, relying on the more
general title Of baz tam champion.

you must have stood on a platform
containing eighty visionary theories,
which have since proved not to be so
visionary but dread reality, to the
sorrow Of the taxpayers of Oregon
The Pupulist party, long before

was advocating the free coinage o.

Commercially Salem is the Queen
city OF the Willamette valley. Her
banks are sound, her mills are run

stocks and employ modern methods.
1t is a pleasure to do business with
an intelligent trader who knows what
good wares are, and who will not take
advantage OF buyers who trust in his
honesty.
The modern theory OF business has
been widely adopted at Salem. Quick
sales at prices plainly stated, fair
margins and square dealing on cash
basis satisfies average Americans best,
be they buyers or sellers. All such
deserve to be successful and prosper

Silver party In Oregon that sup
ported Bryan would not be capable Of
doing better. But could they do any
worse ? Not easily. We would ask

honest administration, and econom-
zeal government Is there not a dis
position to throw overheard the Re-

business methods and stop stealing ?
If these are facts, as we believe
they are, and as the people are begin
ming to see them, how futile to
threaten the people that Oregon may
become a silver state! Have the cities
OF Washington ceased TO grow be-
cause that state went into the hands
OF the silver people? They are flourish
ing today. Has the credit of Marion
county suffered because we have a
Bryan silver man for treasurer 2
No. He deals openly with the people
and is an object lesson as a model Of
fical. We believe he will never dis
grace his office by making it a side
show for some bank or warrant
scalping firm, and at the end of his
term will not require his bondsmen
to put up coin for his deficits. Can
the people of Salem, or of the state
ever expect an honest financial man
agement from a Republican treasury
Official elected by the machine now
in control Of the Oregon Republican
party?
A great many good honest tax-pay-
ers are begining to doubt 1t. The cry
that Oregon may become silver state
in June 1898 will not deter the people
from demanding honest administra-
tion, progress and reform, and they
are not going to get very much Of that
article at the hands Of any but the Sill
yer party. Are the Republicans go
ing to correct, condemn and punish
their own defaulters. wrongdeers and
corruptionists? Where shall they be
gin? 1t is out of the question. They
show a disposition rather TO throw
cold water on those who will not
stand in with jobbery and ring rule.
But it will take more than the fear
that Oregon may become silver state
to gain the confidence Of the people
for the Oregon Republican machine.

Spain has changed her tactics, but
not her purpose, in dealing with the
Cuban problem. The Spaniards have
no intention of granting real auton-
omy to the unhappy island;and II they
have such intention now, it is born OF
necessity, and would vanish when
their purpose is gained.
Spain avowed change Of policy is
an adroit move to trick he Wash
ington government into further in.
action. While the Spanish ministry
is making profuse declarations of
Cancellation and reform, it is slgnili-
cant that Blanco's manifestoes
breathe the harsh spirit of unrelent-
ing,war. War is necessarily spoliatlon,
and every Cuban who has taken up
arms against Spain Is technically
guilty OF that offence. In the same
way 1t will be found that any Spanish
scheme OF autonomy viii be adroitly
provided with loophole which would
enable Spain to rule with the same
old iron hand, once the lnsurrection
was broken.
1t can scarcely be thought that the
president and our state department
will permit themselves TO be deceived
by such gauzy diplomacy.

Comm ,rcial circles are still excited
over the order of Secretary of War
Alger establishing the military res
ervation for one hundred miles around
ST. Mlchaels, The preservation" is as
free as air, with no restrictions-to
the North American Transportation
aud Trading company.
The Tacoma Ledger sees no reason
to change its views from those ex-
pressed at the outset, that the order
establishing a military reserve Is cal
culated TO give an undue advantage
TO one company, already established,
and 10 impose almost prohlbitory re-
strictlons upon all Others, to guard a
private monopoly by federal bayonets
Secretary Alger is entitled TO be-
lief for his assertion that the depart
ment has no desire to show favors, but
the fact remains that under the order
of which the efforts OF the two great
cities aud the appeal OF the governor
OF one state have not been able TO Sc
cure the slightest modification, favor
is shown to the company which has its
business already established within
the sacred limits, and therefore is moi
affected by the order except in bene
fetal manner,
The protests OF the leading Repub-
llcan papers seem TO have no effect
Mr.. Alger Is himself a millionair'
monopolist and why should he desist
