Ever since the first exhibition of
fine Veriscope pictures of the Corbett
--Fitzsimmons glove contest, which
took place at Carson City, Nevada,
March II, there has been considera-
BILE discussion IN the newspapers of
the country as to tine decision given
by the referee on that occasion. The
points of the contest that have arous-
ed the most discussion are the sixth,
fourteenth rounds. In the sixth
round, up to which time Corbett did
nearly all the leading, Corbett landed
a right hand blow on Fitzsimmons
and sent him to the floor. The
referee was slow in starting to count
and stopped in the middle of the
count to warn Corbett back to his
corner, not continuing in the count
until Corbett had stepped back. This
gave Fltzslmmons three or four Sc
conds time to which he was not
entitled. Although Fitzsimmons got
on his feet when the referee counted
nine, yet many who were at the
original contest hold that he was
really down twelve seconds and should
have lost the decision on that count.
Again in the fourteenth round, the
foul blow dealt by Fitzsimmons when
Corbett was down, has caused great
many people who were at the original
contest and who have since seen the
pictures to claim that the decision
should have been given to Corbett on
that account Corbett is seen to lead
for Fitzsimmons when the lattet steps
to one side and lands the famous
solar plexus blow. Corbett sinks to
one knee and hand and as he reaches
the floor, Fitzsimmons, quick as
fash, sends in the same hand and
lands on Corbetts jaw. Corbetts
head is seen to rebound from the
effects of this blow and he immediate
ly crawls toward the ropes in a vain
effort to pull himself together before
the fatal ten seconds can be counted.
Fitzsimmons and his friends claim
that this blow had no effect as Cor
bett was already out from the effects
of the blow in the heart, but none of
them deny that the blow was struck,
although from the strict observance of
the rules which governed the contest
Fltzsimmons should have lost the
decision. In the Veriscope pictures
OF this contest, every detail and action
are clearly and accurately shown and
exactly the same length of time is
taken to show round of the contest
as was used in fighting it at Carson
City, consequently any one, by hold
ing watch on the sixth round and
counting the time Fitz was down, and
closely following Fltzsmmons' move
ments in the fourteenth round, can
settle these points to their own salts
faction.
The management of the Opera
House has secured the Veriscope
pictures of this great contest and they
will be seen here on Monday night
Nov. I.

Prospects that no Self Respecting
Community Would Tolerate.
Though every column of this paper
were devoted to an exposure of the
impositions and robberies perpetrated
upon the people of this state by the
Quay machine at Harrisburg, the
space would be found inadequate to
mere outline recital of the ugly and
astounding facts. Besides, to give
the story in detail, would necesstate
the presentation of figures confusing
IN their multitude, ifnot in themselves.
But the main facts can be easily COM
pretended and of themselves will
suffice to impel every believer in honest
government, who has vote, to give
it to Brown and Ritter, as offering the
only prospect of the smashing of the
Quay machine and the protection Of
the people against further wholesale
robbery. Here they are:
-Four years of Pattison (ISS3-ISS6)
cost $50, 100000. -Four years Of Hast
ings (rS95. 9S) will cost at least $4S,-
100000.
For executive expenses alone, four
years of Pattison QS9I-o4) cost ST.
II2,Ioo, or at the rate of $27S,ooo
per year. For the same purposes, four
years of Hastings (IS95 -9S) accord
ing to the sums already appropriated,
will cost $2,593,3IS, or at the rate OF
$64S,ooo per year.
Hastings first Legislature broke the
record for extravaganza and fraud.
Hastings second Legislature cut down
the charity appropriations quarter of
a million and added nearly that much
more to Its demands for new off ces
and increased perquisites.
There is nothing confusing here,
nothing that the plainest citizen will
not readily understand as showing that
the Quay machine is close corpora
ton of public plunderers and ought to
60. In its interests most devilish IN
genuity is eternally laboring to invent
new devices for robbery of the public
Golfers. Is it any wonder that they
have succeeded In adding $IS,ooo,ooo
to the cost of four years administra-
ton in only II years, and is it not
certain that unless brought to stand
still by defeat at the polls, they are
likely to do even worse IN the future ?
John P. Elkin, ousted from his
Office of deputy attorney general for
violation of his oath and for 4 detect
ed fraud upon the treasury, is the ma
chine-chosen official head of the party's
forces, and as such is straining his
energies to elect Beacon and Nc
c Iley, specifically to validate that
fraud but generally, we presume, as
means of protecting the state against
the menaces of soclalistic propaganda
and anarc istic uprisings.
The spec ecle and its prospects are
such as word not be tolerated by any
W chful and selt-respectrng com
rAunity anywhere else on earth.

Their Forces DemorsliSed,

Official Plundeiing and Factonal
Feuds the Causes of an Irrepressible
Conflict Within the Republican
Ranks-Feature ofthe Broil-The
Satisfying Probabilities it Presents
The Republican party in Pennsyl-
vania has not been in such a condl-
ton of utter decentralization since
500, when its crimes and its feuds
eventuated in the election Of Demo
cratic governor. Even greater crimes
and more virulent factlonal quarrels
are now offering strong promise OF
the election this year of Messrs. Brown
and Ritter and of the election next
year of Democratic chief magistrate
and a Democratic legislature.
That the internal dissensions Of the
Republicans have their origin and all
their force in the unprecedented reck
lessness of the spoils system, as prose-
cuted by them in this state, is beyond
question. In fourteen years machine
Republicanism has increased the cost
of four years administration from
thirty to forty-eight millions of dollars,
and the squabbles of their factions
are to determine which shall have the
abundant pickings that such whole
sale extravaganza and plunder of the
tax payers necessarily affords.
Quay dictated the membership of
the new capitol commission so as to
render Hastings powerless in its coun-
ellis for any but Quay purposes. Sec
retary Reeder and Deputy-Attorney
General Elkin were driven from their
positions because their connivance
with Haywood in the indemnity bond
business was to fee Quay heelers.
Dave Martin was appointed to sue
ceed Reeder with view to strength
ening the Anti-Quay faction in Phila-
delphia. Barnet had 20 make way
for Cochrane in order that no taint of
Quayism should remain in or about
the gubernatorial Office. Elverson re-
-igned from Hastings military staff to
express his contempt .or an admins
traton that is so reckless rs to an
tagonizc Quay. Incident to and in
fluencing all these moves and counter
n yes is the contest for the guberna-
torial nomination in 1903, which
Hastings has determined Quay shall
not control, and in which Quay has
decided Hastings shall have no voice.
The conflict involves a large money
expenditure, of course, but the tax
payers foot the bills, for the contes-
tants are all ovel-paid ohice-holders or
heir feed agents, and that the great
outlay can be afforded is fully explain
ed in the enormous increase in the
cost of maintaining the state offices
for which the machine cursed Repub-
lican party is solely responsible.
In 1880 a somewhat similar but
not nearly so serious situation of
affairs gave us both a Democratic gov
ernor and a Democratic house. In
1890, as already stated, we got a
Democratic governor for the second
time, though even then the affairs of
the commonwealth were not so gross
ly maladmlnstered nor the thefts so
bold and big. That like result next
year is now probable is the one solac-
ing feature of the situation. A partly
full Democratic vote this year will
almost certainly bring it.

CHIEF CAUSE.

Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der, was created for one purpose, and
if not doctored too much is not liable
to weakness or diseases, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and very
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or inconvenience mani
festeu in the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often. by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is
easily made and may be as easily
avoided. To find out correctly, set
your urine aside for twenty four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates kidney
or bladder trouble. The mild and ex,
traordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney, and
bladder remedy, is soon realized. If
you need medicine you should have
the best. At druggists fifty cents and
one dollar. You may have sample
bottle and pamphlet, both sent free
by mail. Mention The COLUMBIAN
and send your address to DR.. Kilmer
& Co., Binghamton, N. Y. The pro.
