view at Newark. N. J., today Bob Fitz-
simmons. the pugilist. in reply to the
offer Of the Northerp Tulane club Of
New Orleans Of purse Of $50, 900 for q

LAVIGNE-WALCOT
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 11.-Articles
Of agreement have just been signed by
George Lavigne and Joe Walcott for the
most important glove contest on this
Coast since the meeting of Corbett and
Fitzsimmons at Carson. kid" Lavigne
has been pronounced the greatest light
weight pugilist the world has ever
known, and Walcott, who is naturally a
welter weight has many times given
evidence Of his cleverneas in the ring.
The exercise Of great tact and diplomacy
was required to bring the men together,
as they differed materially in their views
on the vital question of weight Tom
O'Rourke, acting for Walcott, finally
conceded point to the Lavigne party
and agreed that his man should weigh
1873 pound at 6 pm. on the day Of the con-
test.
The affair will be handled by Young
Mitchell, manager of the Occidental
Club, and will take place early in No
vember in the Mechanics Pavilion. The
men fight for rs per cent of the gate re-
ceipts. OF this, the winner takes so per
cent.

Business Mem and Politics.

The signs point to the fact that
the business men of the country
have become very restless over the
failure Of the law-making bodies to
take notice of the present depress-
ing conditions, and to frame rene
dies which will partially overcome
the evils.
The business people have at length
awakened to the fact that office
holding has become a profession,
and that the workings of practical
politics frequently clash with the
real business interests OF the coun-
try.
No matter how the mercantile
world is suffering. or how many
tradesmen are losing money, the sal
aries of those in Office go on. The
hardships which fall to the lot of the
business man and the masses, skip
them. There is. therefore, not that
incen live for action that there would
be if they were among the victims of
stagnant times and depressed con-
fidence.
In every community there can be
pointed out men who have held Of
fee for few years, and ON moder-
ate salaries have retired with hand
some completeness. These fortunes
mostly represent illegal gains, as the
pockeling of fees which should have
gone to the community.
Expensive government means
high taxation, and the business man
is the first to feel its depressing eff
fects.
While times were good and the
country prosperous, the average
business man did not care to bother
with politics. In the scramble for
money the ways of politicians pass
ell unnoticed.
The restlessness Of the business
interests and the growing tendency
of this class of citizens to take an
interest in matters of politics is a
healthy and hopeful sign. 1t indi-
Gates thai the business world rea-
Lies that the only way to secure
good laws is to have good men to
frame them.

Water Works Defeated.

The proposition to construct wa.
ter works for protection against the
ravages of fire was defeated by a
vote of the citizens to the tune of 49
to 55. Only 9S votes were polled
clearly indicating that not all voted.
The water works proposition was
killed more because the people fear
ed a lob than on account of their
real opposition to the movement.
Some of course were really op-
posed TO the movement while larg-
er number, Judging from sentiment
expressed, feared that the contract
would be given to corporation.
others thought that the erection of
a school house and the construction
of water plant would involve a
burdensome amount of taxation.
While we think that this logic is
fallacious, we must bow to the in
eyitable and submit to the will of
those who voted. 1t simply prolongs
the time when we can hope to have
protection against fire and save our
property against total destruction.

A Warning for Officials

In the paper last week one can
read of a prosecution just finished in
Schuylkill county against officials
for spending public funds illegally
and several thousand dollars are to
be charged back to the officers and
be refunded by them or 60 to the
penitentiary. Scores Of such prose,
cutions in the past have resulted. in
the same way against borough, town,
ship and county officers. Atthis very
time one entire school board is serv-
ing term in the penitentiary, and
in another case the mayor and town
council some three weeks ago were
put to Jail for illegal actions.
Let this serve as another warn
ing; officers who think they can
recklessly spend the peoples money
because they own no property, should
bear in mind that the penitentiary is
before them, on the complaint of any
one or more taxpayers.

Beet Sugar Bounty Proposed.

The proposition of a beet sugar
bounty was broached by Senator
Gear, of Iowa, who proposed that
a bounty be given of one-half cent
per pound per annum, decreasing at
the rate of one tenth of cent year
for five years, when the bounty
should cease.
The suggestion was opposed by
several Eastern Senators as being
based upon an Objectionable system.
1t was supported by Senators Gear,
Thurston, and Shoup. The two las t
named Senators in their speeches
dwelt especially upon the necessity
for bounty in case the sugar was
to continue to come in free, saying
hat with the competition of Orient
al labor, byrwhich the island sugar
was produced, it would be imYos-
sible to establish the beet sugar in
dustry in the United States without
some such encouragement as a
bounty would give. They took oc-
casion incidentlv to score the Ha-
waiian reciprocity treaty as a blight
upon American industries aud to ex-
press the hope that if ennexation
should fail the reciprocity treaty
would be Cancelled forthwith.
There was such determined op-
position to the bounty plan that Mr..
Gear first reduced the figure to one
fourth of cent a pound, and then
withdrew it entirely, without risk
ing vote on it.

Ohio History In Fiction

Why has Ohio not developed large
number of promising authors during
the last decade, is question that has
often been asked by those interested in
the geographical distribution ofthe men
and women who make books. Howells,
the Piatts, and many others won fame
for Ohio in the past, but they are grad.
ually giving way to a younger school,
few of whom come from Ohio, or write
of Ohio scenes or people.
Yet no state presents richer field for
the story writer than Ohio, or holds more
varied and picturesque elements of pop.
uation. Characters as interesting and
pathetic as any in fiction form part of
of our every day life
1t is interesting to note in this connec-
ton that the Ohin State journal, which
is rapidly developing into the greatest
distinctively Ohio paper in the State,
has just discovered new Ohio novelist,
from whose work much is expected.
Early in December the State Journal
will begin the publication in its Sunday
and Semi weekly editions, of a new his.
torical novel, "In The Days of St. Clair"
by DR.. ]. B. Naylor of Malta, Ohio, in
which the struggles and dangers of the
early settlers at Marietta and in the
Muskingum Valley are vividly depicted.
Governor Arthur St. Clair, Rufus Put.
man, and other historical characters fig.
ure in it, and charming love story is
interviewer with thrilling plot in which
white outlaws and savage outlaws and
savage Indians are leading characters.
The scene opens in the Shenandoah
Valley, thus affording an opportunity
for tracing the emigration OF one great
source of Ohio's early population. The
actors are speedily transferred to Ohio,
however where the stern hardships of
pioneer life are clearly and attractively
drawn.
Dr.jNaylor has more than local rep.
utation as poet, having published two
volumes of very creditable verse, under
the nom de.plume of S. Q Lapius. His
short stories have also attracted atten-
ton.
"In the Days of st Clair" is his first
novel, and those who have been per-
mitted to read it in advance OF publica-
ton are confident that it will win sue.
cees.
1t will undoubtedly prove great fea.
ture of the Sunday and Semi Weekly
issues of the State Journal, which already
have no superiols in Ohio. The pub.
fishers of the State Journal are to be
commended for their enterprise in bring.
ing out such promising new novelist.
1t is such support that gives encourage.

their efforts to enter the field OF author
