The Sporting Life Of 81. Louis has the
following about the local heavyweight:
Big Jim Jettriss OF California appears to
be looming up as championship possible
ity. OF course Joe Goddard. "The Barrier
Champion" is not now the man he was
when he met Peter jackson In Australia,
but the decisive manner in which Jeffries
outpointed him In four rounds in Los An
geies shows that the young Californian is
rapidly improving In fistic skill. Men Of
his exceptional height and weight are rarely
fast fighters. They usually depend upon
their strength and the ponderosity of their
blows for their success, as did Ben Gaunt
and Freeman, the american Giant" JEFF
fries, however, seems to possess a fair
amount of speed, and If in year or two he
increases in cleverness as he has in the
past twelve months, he will be dangerous
man for any one to tackle.

SHOOTING AND HUNTING

Messrs. w. Eley Quilter and G. Ber-
nardiston went south on the steamer Pa
checo Wednesday night to San Quintin,
Awaiting them there were couple OF
guides, cook and string Of pack mules
for a shooting expedition to the San Pedro
Martir sierra. They were well equipped,
will be away about q month, and 1t ie to be
hoped will return with the trophies they
covet-the heads Of several big-horn or
mountain sheep. Big-horn sheep. once
common In the Rocky mountains and
higher ranges of the southwest, are now
almost extinct, except in the most inac-
cessible parts of this peninsula. Besides
antelope and deer are plentiful in the wild
and broken waste south and east of this
high peninsula range.-Lower Californian.

LEGISLATORS at Chicago last week has at
,tracted a great deal of attention all over
the west, and the idea seems in a fair way
to receive expansion. The Salt Lake Her.
aid takes up the idea editorially In the fol-
lowing form: "Why cannot such a con-
ference be held by the game wardens Of
Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Mon
tana and Nevada? The natural game sea-
sons in all these states are about the same.
If the open and closed seasons were made
the same in all of them 1t would make i'm
possible, to a very large extent, the illegal
traffic in fish and game that now goes on
in all the states above named. When
game warden caught a hunter or dealer
with game that was out of season 1t would
be impossible to say that 1t was killed in or
shipped from Idaho or Colorado or Wyo-
ming or Utah, as the case might be. 1t is
only within few years that the impor-
tance of protecting the fish and game has
been fully realized In the west, but now
1t is, and public sentiment is in favor of
all measures that will tend to preserve and
increase the game. Uniform fish and game
laws in the states above named would
have a very strong tendency that way"
The Great American handicap, the "blue
ribbon event Of American trap shooting,
Is to be held at Elkwood Park, Long
Branch, N. j., on March ed, 23d and Gath.
All present signs point to record breaking
entry. The handicap Of last year brought
out 1876 shooters, and the management this
year would not be surprised to see the
entry approach very close to the 200 mark.
Californias representative in the big
event will be J. S. Tanning of Gold Dust
fame, who has recently in tournaments
more than held his own with the best live
bird shots in the country.

the Sportsman today protesting against
the Oxford University Athletic club COM
mittees rejection of the American chai-

A cablegram from London, Eng. dated
March 4. says: 1.-The reply of the Cam
bridge University Athletic club to the chal-
ienge Of the Intercollegiate Athletic asso-
ciation for series Of international con-
tests this summer should have reached the
United States several days ago. 1t is a
refusal similar to that of the Oxford Uni

Riversiders at Stanford seem to hold
their own in athletics. Charles Dole and
Hugh j. Boyd take the prize in the annual
field day for high jump. with feet inches
and feet 6 inches. respectively, while'E6yd

inches. This places them in the team that
oompetes with Berkeley next month.
On April 1st the Riverside polo team will
meet the Burlingame team, and after much
consideration a team has been selected to
represent the southern town. This team
consists of II. Maud, c. E. Maud, r.. l..

gained of the strength of this team when 1t
is known that the strongest players of the
club met them in practice and the regulars
won by score of too.

Sporting circles here have been rather
quiet|in this vicinity during the past week
the attention of the public being directed
to happenings in the outside world. The
coursing has been held as usual and at
tracts as large attendances as ever. An
attempt was made last Thursday at Agri-
cultural park to give horse races. The
venture proved unsuccessful both in point
of attendance as we'll as in the races them
selves.
Great interest is naturally being taken in
the coming fight between Jeffries and
jackson, which occurs at San Francisco
tomorrow night. Both men appear to look
splendidly In training. but all coons, and
white men, too, look alike in training, so
this is an uncertain way of forming any
estimate of the respective abilities of fight
ers. Jeffries still continues hot favorite
in the betting, being the long end at 10 TO
81. But little betting is being done on the
fight, however, as the sports appear to be
uncertain about Jackson. His long abb
sence from the ring together with the re-
ports of his dissipation in London, have
scared the talent off. In fact Jackson is
an unknown quantity in the ring today.
Jeffries, on the contrary, Is making rep
utation for himself and Is thought TO be
strong fighter.
Trimble and Bob Thompson have not
reached any agreement regarding fight

Needle Points.

Postage stamps are redeemed in ser.
vice That is the only redemption
there is to any money or obligatAn on
earth.
The railroads get 500, 900, 900 for pull
ing the mail cars, If they got the same
as they charge the express companies
they would get but one million. The
postal system will always show a def
cit no matter how much the postage,
SO long as the railroads own congress.
The postal deficit is troubling the
rulers. They propose to make it pay
its way. 1 would like to remind them
that the army costs millions and does
not pay its way; the revenue from the
navy does not cover the expense; the
receipts of the public schools does not
cover the expense; the money that is
expended on the public roads is total
deficit. How would it do to cut off
these things as they are loss9 They
better spend more money on the postal
system than on the army and navy, for
they are no good while the whole peo
pie get some good out Of the postal
system. But the rulers do not want
the people to have information easily.
They are more easily controlled By
keeping them in ignorance. See2-

additional burdens upon the working
bees to support in idleness the drones
of the social hives, to extort more from
the poor to initiate the millions of the
rich.
The effect Of the retirement of the
notes was to contract the currency, it
took from the people the money re-
, quired for the transaction of business,
depressed prices of all the products of
industry, rendered the people less able
to bear burdens, but nevertheless in
creased the burdens by the substitu-
tion of interest-bearing bonds which
necessitated increased taxation
The extent of this contraction was
70 per cent in ten years, reducing the
condition of the country from the high
est prosperity ever known to state of
the lowest financial depression, throw
ing many millions of men out of en-
ployment, causing tens Of thousands
bankruptcies, depressing values of
property to the extent of tens of bill
lions, creating an army of tramps, pau
perizing labor, and causing strikes.
riots, suicides, and general consterna-
ton among the wealth-producing
classes of the population.
This contraction is not yet at an end
Efforts are made by the present admin
istration togive the screw still another
turn and increase still further the bur
dens of the people.
1t would require too much space to
give the whole financial record of con-
gress for the last thirty years. 1t is
one of the blacklist infamy, entirely in
the interests of the money power and
against the interests of the producing
classes, 1t was an exhibition of legis-
lative robbery on gigantic scale and
of the darkest hue.
General A, j. Warner, who has given
almost undivided attention to currency
questions for many years, has shown
that the actual basic currency in circu-
lation has been contracted by success
sive acts of the treasury to about one
tenth of the amount in circulation dur
ing the years of greatest prosperity.
1t is claimed that the banks of east
ern cities are overlooking with curren-
cy for which there is no demand. Truel
Because the conditions imposed by the
banks on loans are such that only stock
gamblers and spectators in listed Sc
curities can avail themselves of them.
The south and west must do without
money and resort to barter in making
their exchanges.
The gold standard is disastrous ex-
pertinent, Bimetallism existed from
the days of Abraham down to 1873. It's
restoration in the United States would
certainly re-establish the parity of gold
and silver. France and Germany
would immediately follow suit and
England, with her Indian provinces,
would be compelled to do the same in
order to protect her trade.
Bimetallism would take from the
banker the power to create gold cor
ners, contraction and panics, and
would, with an expanded currency, re-
store permanent prices, good wages
and general prosperity.-The National
Bimetallist.

A Conspiracy to Tax knowledge.

The principal paper manufacturers
of the country have formed themselves
into trust, with $50, 900, 900 capital.
Their purpose is to mOnopolize the
business, raise the price of paper IS n
ton and levy upon the newspaper and
bool, readers of the land tax of not
less than $4,000, 900 year.
There are seventeen mills in the
trust, and they propose to drive all the
other mills out of existence, so that
they may charge what price they
please for the paper on which newspa-
pers are printed.
This is a conspiracy to tax knowl-
edge, to levy tribute upon education,
to blacllmail intelligence itself.
Unfortunately the tariff duties aid
the conspiracy. They not only pre-
vent Canadian and other foreign COM
petition in the sale of paper, but they
exclude Canadian wood-pulp. The
free admission of wood-pulp and paper
would go far to crush the conspiracy.
What is to be done about the matter?
VIII any attorney general enforce the
laws, state or national, against such
conspiracies in restraint of trade? viii
congress, seeing clearly that the paper
and pulp duties thus aid and abet rob-
berry, repeal those duties? Or is cheap
paper to become thing of the past,
and all its benefits to the people in the
way of cheap newspapers, cheap mag
azines and inexpensive books to be
lost?
These questions closely concern the
most vital intellectual interests OF the
nation. New York World.
