Charleston's Exposition.
Washington Post.


 Our Charleston friends will not, per haps. undertake to compete with Chicago or Buffalo in vast expenditure or in ais cellaneous display. but we fancy that it will be one of the most interesting affairs of its kind the country has so far pro- duced. vast historical significance is in VolVed in the Charleston scheme. Even II that scheme cont emplated nothing more than suggestion of the commercial and industrial possibilities of the Southern States of the American Union and the West Indian islands 1t would still be rich in real importance. The program, however includes both retrospect ana prophecy It will not only show us what the present has; it will disclose the past and cast a horoscope of the future AS the prospectus says: Tt will pc 4iS show; better still, it will be heautldtuil ,iti, show.

BOSS CRoKER-
Insufferable to American Instincts
 and Democratic Ideals.
ouisville Conrier-Lournal. Dem ,

Louisville Courier-Journal, Oem.)
 Croker lost the gubernatorial election for Augustus Van Wyck in 'gS by oust- ing Joseph Daly from the Democratic list of judges Not only was Joseph Daly an eminent and incoruptible jurist, but man universally respected and loved. To turn him down was an arbitrary act on Crokers part. But 1t was also q 1 senseless act. It first amazed, then alarmed the public, and, in the end, it made a difference of 20,OOO votes to the ticket defeating Van Wyck, himself an admirable nominee, and placing Theo- dore Roosevelt on his way to the White House.
 During the perpetration of this bung- ling job, Croker talked necessarily; he talked like a giddy schoolgirl with her first silk dress; his feet in his mouth and his hand in his pocket, where 1t seems to have been the last eight or ten years.
 fore in the character of genteel tough Croker was excellent; in the character of a vulgar swell he Is execrable; That such man should be longer tolerated. by such an institution as Tammany Hall would seem to be inconceivable. Any where except in New York it would be impossible. But henceforth even New York will have none of him. Tammany will never again carry an election with him in the lead Whether sitting in Quasi-regal state in his mi-proprietary club on Fifth Avenue,-a veritable mock duke both in comicality and insolence- or whether posing as an English squire at Vantage, he is equally insunerable to American instincts and Democratic ideals When he described Mayor Van Wyck as "a nice little fellow who does as he is told" he gave the measure of his own stature as a party leader, or ms own spirit as a boss and parVenu, ana having lost both his senses and his grip to stand on the order of his going. but to go at once.

1.-THE PENSION OUTRAGE"
Generalization from Placing
 Premium Upon Perjury.

Chicago Record-Herald, Qnd. Rep.)
 It is refreshing to see that Pension Commissioner Evans has lost none of lis vigor because of the battle that has been waged against him. He still de Eounces the organized raid on the Treas ury which is being made by the active army of pension attorneys, solicitors and drummers. who are practically licensed by the Government, with the promise of S25 for each claim allowed" He con tinues to show up the disgusting mendi-
 Spanish war who lend themselves so willingly to these sharks, and the facts furnished utterly condemn the whole per nicious system.
 of the soldiers engaged were begging for pensions within three years after the war Is enough to degrade vaunted he rc:sm and patriotism below that com mercialism which is considered so mean and contemptible when the spirit of war Is abroad. Not 20 per cent. of the ap-
 plicauons can be honest, and what mockery they make of patriotic preten- sions. what revelation they are of the
 wholly indefensible principles upon which the system rests.
 The unprecedented generosity of the
 past cannot be invoked to aid the peti- veterans of the civil war in the value, the length and severity or their service: They simply outrage public sentiment and invite rigid reconstruction Of pen
 sion laws Of them we can certainly say | that not a man among them who Is ca pablo of earning living should receive one cent. from the Government. Mere service does not constitute claim; neither does an injury which does not prevent work; neither does indigency
 nor failure to get on in the world, which Is a common complaint with persons who have been warriors. Before these young
 men are given support they should be ! made to prove absolutely that wounds or disease directly traceable to the ser
 vice have made them dependents. | As for tho sharks who are in the bus
 mess ''on spec" probably the best way | to get rid of them would be by such
 severe investigation of the. claims and | by such a grist of adverse Judgments | against them that the spec" would not | pay. But, of course, the Government
 should not even seem to couuntenance | them in law as it's licensees and proteges. They will be found wherever there is
 a fraud, and their opportunities We're | ample before the late war occurred. The Commissioner speaks of the act of June | '. 1888. as a standing invitation to file | fraudulent claims for widows. Can there be any question that his recommends
 ton should be followed, and that the
 law should be repealed? Have We not | had far too much of the demoralization which comes from putting a premium upon perjury, which Commissioner Evans says 1t does?

Today's Game.

Tuscaloosa, Nov. l4.-(Special)- 1.-The game of football tomorrow afternoon be- tween Auburn andsthe University of Ala bama teams grows in interest as the day to be pulled off. There is a likelihood of a number of visitors being present to wit ness the game, which promises tQ be one of the warmest ever seen on a Southern campus. The practice which has been going on for the Varsity team this week is bound to put them in the very best condition and they will go into the game with the full determination of coming off victorious. The team will have hard work this week as they are to play the Agri- cultural and Mechanical College team of Mississippi on Saturday on the Univer- sity campus. The A. & M. team, in its game with Tulane last Saturday, scored against the New Orleans boys, and it is likely they will give the University boys rather warm contest on account of hay ing to play two games in two days.

Tomorrow will be a day of big foot ball games-Tuscaloosa plays the Agri- cultural and Mechanical College Of Mis- sissippi at Tuscaloosa, Georgia plays the North Carolina college in Atlanta, Sewa- nee plays Vanderbilt in Nashville and Princeton plays Yale under the historic old elms of New Haven.
 Speaking of Glass, Yale's big guard an Eastern exchange says:
 Yale has dropped the best player off its varsity football squad and will go into the games with Princeton and liar ward without Edward T. Glass. He has been declared ineligible for the eleven this season. If he continues to play 1t will be on the second team simply to give the varsity practice. The first time the Yale football managers expressed an opinion in the matter was tonight, when they gave out the following statement:
 "Yale has decided to withdraw Glass owing to an objection made by Harvard. Yale feels that, although the spirit of the rule was not to bar men coming from preparatory schools ,even if they had previously attended another col lege, the letter of the rule was such that she would not feel justified in play ing Glass when Harvard insisted upon the latter. Moreover, Glass will not play against Princeton"
 The ueclsloh or the atnletlc IeduelS IS a severe blow to Yale's prospects. Cap tain Gould. who has all season relied on Glass to play in the big games, is aghast at the task of hunting up new guard in the three days remaining before the Princeton game. the decision of the Yale Athletic Committee was made tonight upon the return from Boston of Yale's athletic adviser, Walter Camp.
 George Goss and Tom Johnson, the oarsman will be tried out for Glass s position tomorrow.

Opinions on the big fight to the present time have almost without exception favored Jeffries.
 Pugilistic authorities from everywhere say that instead of being asked how Teffries will win, the question should be how can he lose?
 It remains for Terry McGovern to give Ruhlin chance.
 Terry said last night:
 "Jeffries should win, according to form, inside. of ten rounds. If he does not, think Ruhlin will have a great show to beat him. Ruhlin has the cleyerness to help out his hitting power, and that is not little.
 'yThe chances are the battle will be a short one, and, in that case, Jeffries will be the victor. Sporting men in the East figure Ruhlin as the winner of the battle.
 with these big guys. one punch is enough. And Ruhlin may get 1t in. On the whole, the chances are in favor of Jeffries, but Ruhlin is worth a good odds bet"
 Terry, figures White to beat Yanger, in which opinion he Is also taking a stand against the popular opinion.
 He thinks White is stronger, faster and generally more efficient, even though he is older.
 Terry IS QOl1R WOTh TUT HIS CUullIlS bout with Young Corbett and quits the theatrical game this week to devote his time to training.
 A special from San Francisco says: Neither Jeffrles nor Ruhlin did any work Sunday
 The champion spent the afternoon at a theater and Ruhlin put in the day quietly chatting with friends who called upon him at his training quarters.
 None of the big fighters, with probably the exception of Tom Sharkey. will be at the ringside Friday night when Jeff fries and Ruhlin meet.
 Sharkey, some days ago, sent word from New York that he would be pre- sent, but no news has yet been received that he has started on the journey across the continent.
 George Siler, well-known authority on sporting subjects, has visited Ruhlin and expressed himself as greatly i'm. pressed with the pugilists improved physical condition.
 "Ruhlin is certainly in great shape for the contest" he said. He looks bigger and stronger by long odds than when he fought Sharkey. He appears to me to be in the best possible shape for the contest and should make a hard f1ght to win.
 Madden tells me that Ruhlin has i'm proved wonderfully in his hitting. He always had a fairly good punch and if he has improved in his hitting powers. he will certainly make a dangerous op- ponent."
 Out of the fight tonight may grow several others, Fitzsimmons and Shar- key being reported as challenging the winner. Most of the local money has been going in on Jeffries, though there are a good many Montgomerians who are taking the Ruhlin end of 1t for the sake of the possible per centage.

This afternoon in Tuscaloosa that game for the championship Of the Alabama football season of 1901 will be fought oy Auburn and Tuscaloosa.
 Tonight in San Francisco the battle for the heavy weight championship of the world will be fought by Gus RuhIn and Jim Jeffries.
 Intense interest Is taken by Montgom- erians in both these events. nearly every man in the city who takes the least ln' terest in athletic events watching eager ly for the results of each.
 As to the football game 1t is difncul' to try and reach conclusions-the intense rivalry between the two teams makes II certain that one of the most bitter con tests had in long time will be pulled of. It will be fight for the champion ship of the State. and from the peculiar relations existing between Tuscaloosa and Auburn I am afraid that the game will be a good bit rougher than usual.
 In this years rules are stringent sec tions in regard to tripping or tackling below the knees. slugging, unlawful use of hands, etc., and if the officials enforce them to the letter a great deal of un- necessary trouble and delay will be saved.
