As a matter Of fact. the Congress OF

The great curse Of national legisla-

of the new system whereby Congress

REp Hor IN MARYLAND.

The contest over In Maryland makes
us rejoice that this is an off year in
Delaware, Tor possibly we might be
having the same sort Of a campaign.
In the absence Of any sane issue the
Democrats began to ycll "mgger!" early
in the campaign, ana 1t has gone on
TN passing cloud sets them frothing
at the mouth. 1sadore Rayner who
wants to be senator, has joined the cry
and is daily giving exhibitions Of how
a man Of good mental stature may de-
scend TO the smallest kind Of politics.
lie wants the Democrats TO adopt as
the first plank of the national party's
platform the Acknowledgement OF the
negro, lie then declares It is not a
political question. but one of self-pres-
ervation.
Well. II the Democratic party should
decide TO retrace its steps, and bring
forth the dry bones OF an issue we bur
led forty years ago; il 1t wishes to
stake It's future on prejudice and pas
sion there is no way TO prevent IL, but
Il viii be rebukod worse than it was
for the free silver heresy. In his saner
moments MIR. Rayner knows that the
white people OF Maryland have no ques-
tion Of preservation before them.
There are i've white men for every col
ored man in that State. II in addition
TO his numerical strength the white
man has superior intelligence, he need
not fear that he win lose control of
the affairs of the state. There can be
no negro domination when only twenty
per cent. of the population is colored.
Campaigns like that raging In Mary
land put back amy right solution Of the
race problem a quarter OF century.
II cannot be settled by harangues from
the stump and It should never be in
Jected into a campaign. Any general

MILLER AND CORCORAN
MEET AGAIN TONIGHT
will Weigh in This Afternoon at 145 Pounds.

ro-niRht in the arena of the Savan-
- Athletic Club Miller and Corcoran
ct in a twenty. round bout at las
~os,nds. This will be the second con-
+est of these men. Miller won the
,os+ contest in a decisive manner,
knocking out Corcoran in the eight
eenth round.
Though Corcoran was defeated, it did
mt affect his ardor. and his claim for
return fight was legitimate, and his
willingness to sign for the winner to
take all principle shows that he has
every confidence in himself.
Corcoran has given himself two
weeks of careful preparation for this
contest, and is, without a doubt. a 80
ner cent. better man than he was N
the last contest. He will fight a cool
and careful battle, and will COMPEL
Miller to carry the fight to him this
time; this will handicap Miller to a
great extent, for it is a great deal
harder for a man to take the offensive,
while his opponent plays a waiting
came.
1t is always easier to fight a man
who is willink to meet you half way
because the cleverest one finds oppor-
unity and openings to land which is
lost if he has to take the offensive.
Miller arrived in town from Tybee
Yesterday and says he is in first-class
condition, confident that he will be re-
turned the winner. Il am glad that
Corcoran is reported to be in such
good shape, for it will make the contest
better in every way, though Tom is a
tough nut. 1 feel sure of beating
him, though 1 expect to have a great
deal harder fight than the last one''
At o'clock this afternoon both men
will weigh in at the Turkish Baths.
Matchmaker Wilson will be on hand to
do the weighing and to see that ev-
erything comes off in a satisfactory
manner. The bout will be preceded
by the usual preliminary, and at 10
o'clock both of the modern gladiators
will be found seated in the ring await

to what extent? Reports say he has.
Principally heretofore his weakest
points were defense, speed and agrees
siveness. Such being the case, there
is no reason why he should not defeat
Corbett before the end of the TWEEN
tieth round, even though Corbett is bet
ter fortified with muscle. This sum-
ming up may not appear logical. A
great many facts, nevertheless, make 1t
more clear. I will say that Corhett,
try as he will, can hardly improve
his science. Age certainly does not
improve ones speed. That being the
case he win enter the ring next Fri
day night no better fortified in science
and speed than when he met Jeffries
three years ago. His five months
daily limited exercises may undoubted-
ly have added to his strength and hit
ting powers, but he can hardly to that
extent, take it. deliver a knockout.
Therefore if Jeffries has improved on
the points named above he will more
than offset anything Corbett has added
to his ffstic category.
May Have Hard Time.
This prediction, of course, is ven
tured on the superstition that Jeffries
now is not the Jeffries of one, two or
three years ago. Should it transpire
that he has not improved on the points
in which he showed deficiency in his
last Frisco battle Corbett may give
him a merry game. 1t is beyond the
conception of any man to outline the
respective plans of battle, other than
to draw a line from the previous con-
tests. 1t goes without saying that
Corbett will fight on lines similar to
all his contests, which will be to hit,
get away, bring all his science into
play and to stay to the limit and win
the referees decision on points. That
style of fighting is second nature to
him, and 1 doubt if he can change it.
The newly acquired muscle will add
force to the blows, and knowing that
one good wallop may wipe out all his
points he will be extremely careful to
dance out of reach of it. Jeff, on
the other hand, must keep after Cor
bett at the top of his speed and at the
same time fail away with both hands.
He must not give him chance to get
set long enough to feint into knots
to have him fall over himself trying
to locate him. He must not select
any one particular spot to land his
blows. He can hit hard enough to
hurt if the blows land any old place.
By doing so surely he will slow the ex-
champion up before the limit. He
will never do so walking, as he did
with Rubin or Fitz. If he does he
will be picked out of the champion
