This is the way New York editor
mounts his pegasus:
"The Bryananarchists are making
milch the burning eyes of heaven with
their howls about the ruin of the re-
public. In the name of every age, in
the name of every sex, in the name of
every race. except the Southern neg
roes, they call upon everybody to
stand aghast at the approaching loss
of our liberties. Either they or the
Liberty Bell is cracked. The pillars
of the Constitution sag. The rascally

MO MORE PRIZE.FIGHTS.
Notwithstanding Efforts of New York Law
yers, PugiIisms Is No More in That State.

With the approach of September 1st, on
which date the repeal of the Horton Box
Ing law takes effect, fresh reports are cur
rent of plans of Tammany politicians, who
have monopoly of local prise-hghting, to
contest the cOnstitutiOnality of the law pro-
hibiting these so-called ''sparring Matches
which are really prize-fghts as every one
knows. An enormous sum was spent at
Albany last winter in the effort to defeat the
repeal bill, for under the Horton law prise
fighting has fourished in New York as
never before in any city in the United
States.
1t is understood that fight will be az
ranged for an early date in September, for
the purpose of getting a test case before the
court, and the Tammany lawyers consulted
say that they will prove the unconstitution-
ality of the repeal or Lewis law.
There are many who hold, though, that,
regardless of the result of this contest,
prise-fghting has seen Its best days here,
because the followers of the "spOrt" are
beginning to realize that most of the
matches are not real contests. This was
shown pretty well at last weeks fight al

Bryan.s skill as n Prophet.

Mr.. Bryan has resumed his stumping
tours, and, as usual, his speeches are
made up largely of predictions. Some
of his former predictions make inter-
estlng reading nowadays. In 1896 he
prophesied as follows: Before the
year 1900 arrives the evil effects of a
gold standard will be even more evil
dent than they are now, and the
people, then ready to demand an Amer
lean financial policy for the American
people, will join with US in the I'M
mediate restoration of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the present
legal ratio Of 16 to l." AS a prophet
Mr.. Bryan certainly has a unique
record. The only prediction he ever
made that was fulfilled was the pre-.
dictiOn that he would be defeated in
1886.
