Cruelty to Animals, and embarking in
wagons and other vehicles hied them
selves back to the farm. when a lively
main was pulled OFF, for their delecta-
ton.
\ large crowd attended this daylight
fight, and the pit side was lined five or
six deep with interested spectators. who
wagered their dollars on the relative
merits and dement's Of the feathered
fighters and excitedly watched the sport
There were altogether nine fights. and
nine cocks met their deaths. as all the
fighters were game. and none ran. The
main was not completed until late in the
afternoon. and the sports returned to the
city in time for supper

INAUGURATION EXERCISES AT
THE UNIVERSITY.

The university will inauguratc today it's
first president and the occasion should
be- memorable in its history. 1t is evil
dent to all who have watched its career
that it has needed a president for some
time. To properly manage u large univcr-
sity demands not only all the attention
of one man, but the attention of a man
endowed with strong. varied, and we'll
balanced qualities. 1t is the most diff
cult position probably that any public
officer is called upon to fill.
President Winston has been in charge
of the university for half year, and has
been diligently studying its needs and
maturing its policy. He knows how to
build up on existing foundations. He
will declare today the policy and the
needs of the institution. We hope that
our citizens generally will attend the ex.
ercises, and especially that the Legislature
will go in a body, for to them is entrust-
ed the task of eQuipping and building up
this great institution. They should be
in sympathy with its work and acquaint-
ell with its needs.

AN ORIGINAL TARIFF ARGU.
MEET.

The republican papers and claimants o
the hearing" committee of congress ar
| putting up some of the most original ant
| ridiculous arguments il favor of a pro
| tective tariff. The latest cscapade i
that of the New York Tribune, which il
now making an argument upon the 'pos
sibilities' of what will happen. Th
| Tribune admits that the credits agains
| London held in this country may cove
an adverse balance of SlJ,000000 month
~ for two months, and the surplus o
gold in the treasury, which is about S15,
600, 900, might be husbanded so that ther
could be no reduction of the treasury bal
ancc until May. Notwithstanding thi
healthy condition of the treasury, thu
Tribune says there is a possibility" o
disaster and that congress should hastel
to pass n tariff bill to prevent an increase
of imports that would create an advcrs,
balance and rapid drain of gold in the
months of May and April.
There il a possibility of the OK
change being against ,Is by May, but w
have ample means to meet every demand
of government obligations until that
time, and what if there is a possibility
of exchange being against us in May and
April? 1t would not necessarily be fol
lowed by a drain of gold from the treas.
ury of the United States. If the cx
change is against MS ut that time it will
show that our gold has broken cover and
is ready to be invested. 1t will show that
our wealth is so great that we are so anX-
ious to invest it in foreign goods and the
gold will be in the hands of the people
and the merchants to meet any foreign
bills of exchange drawn on us by Lon
don, over and above our London balance.
1t is strange idea :,'lt the people of
this country must b. burdened by a
heavy tariff tax in order to prevent Il
balance of exchange against us. Some
of the writer's on political economy hold
that when exchange is against us that
it is an evidence that we are Accumulate
ing wealth, for instance, n merchant
sends 100000 to Europe to be invested
in goods, which he sells in this country
for Sl50,00O, set aside $4,000 for freight,
customs duties. etc. and he sells at -
per cent above cost the result is that
when he closes out the sales of the i'm
ported goods he has, instead of the orig
inal 100000, the profits added or Sl25,-
900.
The Chicago Tines Herald wants Il
high duty on all goods. that Japan may
in the next four years bring into our mar
ket competing with home manufacture,
as the Herald says il is possible" that
this Japan rivalry mas sweep home pro-
ducts from under us.
The New York Tribune. another high
tariff paper, says in Substance as far as
we can see, the government revenues
are all right, but it is possible that in
three months exchange with London will
be against us, although now we have Il
balance of $15,OOO,00O month, and the
Tribune also wants high tariff on that
ground. Nive la bagatellc!
