POINTS A MORAL, PERHAPS.

The Ohio State Journal Is indignant at
the people of Savannah, Ga. II says:
president Mckinley has been invited
10 visit Alabama on tire occasion OF MS
trip TO the South. as the guest of the
State. Every Democrat in the LegBla-
ture voted for the resolution This Is
an overwhelming rebuke TO the people
OF Savannah. who lacked the courtesy
TO extend the hospiialities of that city
10 the chief Executive OF the American
people. Manifcstly that churlishness did
not represent the South
Not so fast. friend; not SO fast That
reminds us OF an anccdote. as the late
lamented Mr.. Lincoln was wont 20 say,
and It may point moral.
During the better days OF the repub-
Hc-when we had a republic in fact as
well as in theory-ani when Mr. Fillmore
was President and Hon. Alexander H. H..
Stuart. OF Staunton, was his Secretary OF
thRInterior. Mr.. Stuart and Mr.. Fillmore
took a trip through the mountains Of
Virginia. They found the latch-string on
the outside and a free treat awaiting
them in every house, public and private
at which they stopped. until when about
noon one day they halted in front of an
especially celebrated inn. Here the
President ordered juleps, and upon his
rendering the price OF them the landlord
pocketed it. Mr.. Stuart was greatly
shocked, and the first time thereafter he
saw the landlord he demonstrated with
him, telling him that his inhospitality
was unprecedented In the history Of the
trip. Mine host was nonplussed for
moment. but quickly rallying. he replied:
"Well, Mr.. Stuart, | am glad that ! am
the only man in the Commonwealth of
Virginia that did not treat the President
Of the United States as a blankety men
dicant." Does the Journal see the appli-
cation? There may have been courteous
method in Savannahs "discourtesy'' af-
ter all though the truth is that the Jour
nal has gotten the facts in the case q
little twisted. The reception and enter
tainment of the President were not under
taken by the municipal authorities of Ss-
vannah, but by business body Of the
city.

sporting circles and caused some ugly

thousand people who witnessed the bout

funded The part Of the show when
prt dollars into the pockets Of the con-
tegtants went through without hitch'
but the "value-received'' features were
omitted.
on the whole. the duped spectators de-
serve very little sympathy. They were
aiding and abetting two big brutes, whose
sole merit consists Of physical strength
and whose courage. at best. is Of the ami
NAL order. Try as you may, you cannot
make the pugilist genteeL Success and
notoriety may crowd him into a dress
suit and reporters may picture httle
scenes in which the sluggers evince ai1ec-
ton for their families, but in the
end II always turns out that the prize
fighter is Of the lowest order of humanity.
Many years ago when Corbett first APP
reared in the "fstic arena" he was chari-
tablv and fondly designated as Cen
tleman jim" but he soon outliVed the
title. and to-day it's appropriateness is
ridicuously manifest. Many of his acts
in private life have been exposed, and
but a few months ago the public had
peep into his family, which placed some
of them in a very unfavorable light. Bat
Corbett is no worse than others OF ms
ilk. The efete but once famous John H.
Sullivan is model Of grotesque vulgarity
and beastliness. and So too, is the blatant
Fitzsimmons.
The searchlight Of investigation has
time and again proved that the pugilist
has no more courage than his less exalted
brethren. and that the supposed manli-
ness OF fstic professionals is vain, de
lusive myth. Divested Of his ferocity,
buster. and love of the mighty dollar
the "slugger" is q very small individual
a sort Of excrescence on the social system
Of the day Even charity cannot use him
To point a moral or adorn a tale, for he
refuses under any circumstances to be
chiselled into responsibility. The self
respecting public should rejoice whenever
they hear of a pugilist in disgrace, for it
is to them that we must look Tor the
creation of that universal disgust which
will sooner or later eliminate the prize
ring from civilization.
