Tse Rlunine of the Brmisers.

1t would be ever so much more salts
factory if those distinguished bruisers,
Fitzsimmons and Corbett, would stop bluf-
fling and make arrangements for another
battle or let it be understood, once for all,
that they do not intend to meet in the
prize ring again. Day after day the
papers contain long dispatches reciting
what one or the other of the champions
each calls himself the champion--proposes
to Go in the way of showing that he IS
the best man in America with his fists.
Corbett proposes to give Fitzsimmons a
little fortune just for the chance of getting
him in the ring again. and FitzsimmOns
won't fight Corbett unless the latter frs.
KNOCKS OUT some other bruiser who
wants TO be a champion Fitzsimmons'
wife is a factor also in the matter. She
insists that her husband shall not again
run the risk of having his beauty spoiled,
though it cannot be said that he is now
or that he has ever been conspicuous for
a handsome face or fine figure.
The appearance of these two men, Fitz-
simmons and Corbett. and their hackers
in the newspapers is becoming tresome
Perhaps they would retire into obscurity
if the newspapers were to pay less atten-
ton to them. Nothing pleases them so
much as notoriety. 1t is money in their
pockets. Each of them, if we are not mis-
taken, is connected with show of some
sort, and the oftener they can get their
names in the newspapers the larger the
audiences they will draw. We are confident
the public is heartily tired of both of
them, and would gladly hear no more of
them, unless they arrange TO meet in the
prize ring again,

Conflicting Legal styles.

A good anecdote is told of the two eel
ebrated barristers, Balfour and Erskine.
SAYS the Pittsburg Dispatch. Balfour's
style was gorgeously verbose Erskine's.
on the contrary was crisp and vigorous.
Coming into court one day Erskine noticed
that Badfour's ankle was bandaged.
why, what's the matter?" asked Frs
kline.
Instead of replying: IT fell from a
gate, Balfour answered in his usual round
about manner:
Il was taking romantic ramble in nv
brother's garden" he said, land on com
ing to a gate / discovered that I had "a
climb over it, by which / came into con-
tact with the first bar and grazed the cpl
dermis of my leg, which has caused a
slight eXtravaslon of the blood"
You may thank your luck stars" re-
piled Erskine that your brothers gate
was not as lofty as your style. or you
would have broken your neck"

A week ago very few people knew there
was such an actress as Miss Charlotte
Crane. Now hundreds of thousands and
perhaps millions of people know that she
is very pretty young woman, the lead
ing lady in one of Hoyts comedy compa-
MES and that her real name is Charlotte
Post. No doubt she felt keenly the in
justice which was done her when she was
notified that she was not a welcome guest
at the cadets BAH in Charleston on
Christmas night, where she was TAX
en- by naval cadet because she felt
that her social position at her home in
Springfield. ILL.,. where her father is
prominent physician, and the prominence
of her family connections in the south as
we'll is in the north, together with her ed
ucatonal advantages, entitled her to be
present at any social function in Charles
ton or elsewhere to which she was properly
invited, and it seems she was properly in
vited to the Charleston affair. The hos
Utility to her was due wholly to the fact
that she was an actress.
But, being an actress. She can hardly
object 10 the advertisement which has
been given her Not by a dozen years of
conscientious and good acting could she
have won so much attention from the pub
lie as the Charleston ban incident has
brought her. About every daily news
paper of Importance in the country has
given her at least half column notice.
and some of them have devoted several
columns to her and her affairs. Many
pictures of her have appeared in che pub
lie prints and her face is now almost as
familiar as that of Anna Held or Sadie
Nartiuot.
As she appears 10 be a very deserving
young woman, who went to New York
with the view of studying art bat was at
tracted 10 the stage, no one viii envy her
the assistance the newspapers have given
her in their efforts to make attractive
news articles out of her experience in
Charleston ball room. If she has real
talent she viii now have no difficulty in
making rapid progress in her profession
Wherever she goes with her company
there VIII be a desire to see her. She is
an attraction which any theater manager
will be clad to have However deeply she
felt the treatment she received in the
Charleston ball room. the sting of il
will be deadened by the greater pros
perjy in her profession she win enjoy
on account of it.

IN some Of the dispatches sent out from
Vasalug.on it is sim asserted that the
ary of the Treasury rendered his
r5s.elation 10 the President, though no
add onal facts in regard to the matter
are siyen showing that the assertion SIS
wed, founded. Il is quite safe TO assume
l.It the secretary did not tender his res
srauon. lie may have said to the Pres
iurrt. however, that he would resign 81 his
pres nee in the cabinet was in any respect
embarrassing TO the administration,
though as far as the public knows he haa
no conversation with the President about
the matter
1t is probable that the President and
Secretary of the Treasury are nos very far
apart on the money question, though their
public utterances on that question show
there is considerable difference in their
views But, in seeking to find out exact
ly what the difference is. the fact must
not be overlooked that the President. ow-
ins TO the necessity for preventing a di-
vision in his party cannot take as ad-
vanced a position in the matter of cur
rency reform as the secretary can. While
he may be just as anxious as the secretary
is to have legislation that would more
firmly establish the gold standard he can
not say SO as long as a considerable sec
lion of his party is against a policy Of
that Kind. without practically united
party he could accomplish nothing. There
fore if he wants to make any progress
towards currency reform he must feel his
way and be sure that he has his party
| back of him before taking any decisive

! Secretary Gage knows probably that
| there is no probability of currency legisla-
/ lion at this session of congress. Yet he
is pressing his currency reform plan upon
The attention of congress. From what
he does and says The President can SEE
what the feeling in his party is. He has
found out that the silver senator's Of his

for reforming the currency which would
tend to commit the country more strongly
10 the cole standard. The secretary, there
fore has rendered him real service. The

When the civil war broke out an i'm

Conn, ana many men volunteered for the
army, says the Youths Companion To
the general surprise, one of the richest
men in the state Elias Howe, the inVen-
tor of the sewing machine, arose and made
this brief speech:
Every man is called upon 10 do what he
can for his country. 1 DOM know what [
can do. unless il is 10 enlist and serve as a
private in the union army. want no po-
sitOn; I am willing to learn and do what
1 can with a musket.'
But 1t soon proved that the chornic lame
ness from which Howe suffered incapaci-
tated him from marching with a muslIet
even to the extent Of standing sentry. De-
termined 10 be Of use, however, he Volun-
teered TO serve the regiment as its post
master, messenger, and expressman.
Sending nome for a suitable horse and
wagon, he drove into Baltimore twice a
day and brought to the camp its letters
and parcels. 1t was said that he would
run over half the state 10 deliver a letter
to some lonely mother anxious for her So

there was consequently great suffering

painful anxiety endured by the men them

Other things being equal the cost of any
product of labor is less in a warm and
genial climate, like that of the cotton
growing states than in the rigorous eli
mate of New England. The single item of
fuel cuts a large figure in the expense

ing in city, but II amounts 10 very little
in the cotton belt. Clothing and bedding
are other indispensables in which the New
Englanders labor under a great disadvan-
tage compared with their southern COM
pettors. Rents are higher in a cold than
i'm a warm climate, because IL is necessary
to construct more costly dwellings in the
one than in the oth@s Food is naturally
more abundant in the south than in the
eastern states for vegetables and fruits

crops can be grown annually on the same
ground i'm most of the southern states For
these solid reasons, which neither legisla-
ton nor labor organizations can change

the south than in New England And the
cost of subsistence has such relation to the
cost of labor and, therefore, 10 the cost
of production, as must inevitably be a
permanent factor in manufacturing indus

fact would give the cotton states q steady
reliable advantage in the business of con-
Verting their staple into cloths. But other
things are not equal as the south has one
other and much greater advantage which.

can be held against oil competitors for ell

manufacturers to mako money in turning
out goods at prices below cost of produc-
ton in mills far removed from the fields.

should be run with men selected because
of their efficiency, and not because they
are democrats or republicans. The oppo-

ter if the municipality should be run on

them good campaign material for use in
