THE PRIZE-FIGHT LAW.

= y the death OF Franey, the pugst, from blows
\ received in a prize-fght at Woodwards Pa
- vilion the people of San Francisco receive a
fearful illustration OF the working OF the Gage prize
fight law The BILL which was one OF the scandals OF
the Legislature, was converted into a disgrace to the
State by the signature OF the Governor and has now
resulted in its first tragedy.
At the time the bill under consideration was
condemned by all the decent elements of the State
1t forced through the Legislature by the Burns
push, aided by certain Democratic allies who like
Burns and his gang, are closely associated with the
FOUNDERS and the toughs, whose delight in prize
fighting is proportion to the brutality OF the exhi
bition. Had Governor Gage been in the least degree
careful OF public morals OF the dignity OF the State
or of his own reputation, he would have vetoed the
bill He at that time, however, too eager to
procure the election OF Burns to the United States
Senate to deny anything the supporters of Burns de
sired. He signed the bill
Boxing matches not in themselves either brutal

among the best contests OF physical strength
known to our race. Some of the most eminent men
in own country and in Great Britain have been
good boxers and have deghted.n the exercise Like
all other sports, however, boxing becomes brutal
when practiced by brutal people Just as horse
racing, which once proudly called 'the sport of
kings, has been by the aXity OF laws allowed in
many instances to degenerate into a system of gam
bling for touts and blackguards, corrurtng to the
community so boxing when transformed into prize
fighting becomes the pet pleasure OF hoodlums and
human brutes, and breeds menace to the community
The OF the Gage prze-ghting law is license
for brutality almost unlimited The only restric-
ons put upon the toughs that the fights must be
held under the patronage OF incorporated club that
the fighters must gloves OF not less than FIVE
ounces in weight, that the rounds shall not ex-
ceed "a limited number" 1t was asserted at the time
the bill under consideration that the restriction Of
such exhibitions to domestic, incorporated athletic
clubs would put end to the fake fights and the
frauds which had become so frequent in the State
We have what the restriction is worth The
athletic incorporated club may be composed Of
athletes in name only, and its incorporation may be
for other purpose than to hold rize-fghting ex
hibitions
In the death of Franey the Gage law has been
worked out to its inevitable conclusion The fair
promises made for it have proven to be false 1t is
licensed brutality at best and in its worst degrees is
much like murder

two successive Legislatures according to the law but
the latter Legislature appropriated money tor ad-
vertlsng purposes, nor for the installation OF sys-
tenn OF voting by electricity which an election act
called for The Governor thereupon vetoed the
resolution submitting the amendment to the people
Certain advocates OF the amendment have applied
to the court for a mandamus compelling the Secre-
tary OF the Commonwealth to advertise it, but the
County Court in which the case has been heard has
refused to issue the writ From the brief reports OF
the'declsion that have us appears the Judge
holds that Governor has as much right to veto a
proposed constitutional amendment as any other act
He is quoted by the Philadelphia Record as having
said in the course OF his decsion mo satisfactory
reason has been given why the executive Governor
or PresdenD should not have the same share in
amending the constitution as in other legislation
So far Pennsylvania is concerned the issue is not
one OF law purely A good deal OF politics is mixed
up with it. for the proposed amendment refers to the
registration of voters and is designed to put check
upon machine politics. Both the Governor and the
Judge OF the County Court are accused OF standing
in with the machine. 1t is for that reason mpeach
ment is called for.
The argument against the right of an executive to
interfere with constitutional amendments is strong.
II for any reason he may prevent the submission OF
such questions to the people marked innovation
will be made in practice if not in law. 1t has
not been the custom to consider executive approval
necessary to a constitutional amendment to
resolution submitting proposal for to the peo
pie If it be true that the Governor OF Pennsylvania
has in this acted in the interest of machine poll
tcians he certainly ought to be impeached. Other
wise it would seem the courts good enough re-
source and the decision of the final the issue
will be awaited with no little interest

THE FINAL TEN THOUSAND.

c O far the people Of San Francisco have re-
sponded literally to the call for money to pro-
- vide a welcome for the homecoming volun-
teers The committee asked for $4,000, and upward
OF $4,000 has been contributed raised by means
of entertainments Now the issue is to raise the re-
naming $4,000
1t is well understood the sum should be contributed
promptly. The transport bearing Our brave boys IS
well her way across the ocean. The date OF their
arrival is no longer question of weeks. In COM
paratively few days they will be here The committee
should have the full required for the reception
in its hands at once Is it too much to ask the peo-
pie to contribute the remaining $4,000 to-day?
There are some rich corporations that have refused
to contribute anything. No good citizen will feel like
Classifying himself with niggards OF that kind. Many
such citizens, however have as yet failed to con-
tribute. They have put the matter off from day to
day. believing there is time enough. Now they must
wake up to the fact that but little time remains. Be
fore the close OF the coming week the boys will be
here Everything in the way of street decoration OF
parades fireworks, receptions banquets and all forms
OF festivities provided for the OCCASION must be ready
in time for their arrival
The sum asked for is comparatively small. With
about $4,000 already subscribed ought to be easy
for San Francisco complete the $4,000 asked for.
1t will not be necessary for any to contribute
much if each will contribute little.
Citizens OF other States are preparing splendid and
bountiful receptions for their boys their return
home Shall the Calfornans have welcome inferior
to that OF any other? Is this city renowned for its
wealth and its lberaity to let its reception festivals
fall short for the lack OF $4,000?
Such questions answer themselves Every citizen
should in proportion to his contribute to tie
reception fund The volunteers we are to welcome are
not only feow-countrymen but our neighbors
and our kinsmen. Through the widespread ramifica-
tons OF their relationships and friendships they in
touch or less direct with almost every household
in the city. Surely where kinshp and friendship
unite with patriotism and State pride to prompt
glorious welcome for the returning brave there can
be no incompleteness in the reception
Let relieve the committee of further concern
about money that all OF its energies next week may
be devoted to the preparing OF the welcome. Let us
subscribe the final $4,000 to-day.
