MONROE BEAT SRARKEY.
Got the Decision After Six Rounds
EiQhtino.

Jack Munroe outfought Tom Shar-
key in their six round bout at the Sec
ond Regiment armory In Philadelphia.
Munroe stepped from the ring without
mark, while both Of Sharkey's eyes
were badly swollen from vicious right
and left swings of the Butte miner.
In the first round only Sharkey had the
best Of Munroe. After this the battle
was almost wholly in Munroe's favor.
When Munroe began to find the sailors
stomach Sharkey became wild, and
nearly all of his leads went around
Munroe's neck. In the fifth round Mum
roe had his antagonist in trouble and
again in the sixth round Sharkey was
In great distress. The blows which
Munroe landed on Sharkey's stomach
went straight from the shoulder and
were hard enough to have knocked
out almost any fighter. The general
opinion seems to be that Jeffries will
now be called upon to defend the
championship against Munroe.
Sharkey entered the ring at 10
o'clock. He was given a tremendous
cheer by the great crowd present.
Munroe did not enter the ring until
10 minutes later. He was well recei,'-
ed. The referee called the men to the
center and gave them instructions.
The fight was Marquis of Queensberry

to be given. Both men were in the
pink Of condition.
Jim Jeffries and Jack Munroe have
signed articles to fight for the heavy
weight championship of the world at
the Yosemite Athletic club, San Fran
cisco. during the last week in May. A
purse Of $25, 900 is guaranteed. The
purse is to be divided. 85 precent to

Sullivan put up game fight, and
while outboxed, outfought and outgen.

for worry in one round. Taking
another feature out of the fight, which
was Sullivan's excessive gameness, the
contest was never in doubt. Corbett
held his man safe during all stages Of
the contest, and it was but a question
OF time when Sullivan would have to
quit. The fourth round nearly saw
the end Of the contest, and only ~
taking the full count ON four different
occasions did Sullivan managed to pull

DAIRY SCHOOL BUILDING.

In view of the movement which was
Instituted at the late meeting of the Yer
mont darymcn in this city for the con-
structon of a building for the state
dairy school it is interesting to note
that among the bills signed by Governor
Odell was one appropriating the sum OF
$4,000 for the erection of an agricultural
college building at Cornell University. 1t
was not unnatural that other colleges i'll
the Empire state should take exceptions
to this appropriation in favor of rich
institution like Cornell. but the farmers
in the Legislature insisted in adopting
measures to promote their own inter
ests. instead of stopping to inquire
whether every other interest was to be
pleased.
The farmers of Vermont will he well
represented in the next state legislature
if precedent is followed, and in view OF
the steps already taken it is practically
certain that the dairymcn's association
will ask them to favor an appropriation
of a few thousand dollars to promoto
agricultural interests through the erection
of a dairy building in connection with
the agricultural college. When one stops
to think of the large sums expended
for special training in all sorts OF
technical schools, 1t can hardly Ice re
Garded as strange that the dairymen OF
Vermont should feel justified in aeekin,
a comparatively small Appropriation foi
their own particular branch of industry
We believe that other interests woult
gladly see the development of Vermont
dairy interests promoted in this way anc
If the coming Legislature fails to II AXE
an appropriation FOR the purpose named
the farmers in the Legislature will have
themselves largely to blame.

THE PENALTY OF MURDER.

In speaking of the crime which has
horrihed all Vermont as well as the city
in which the dastardly assassin elected
News we'll says: There have been num-
erous murders in Vermont within the
past two or three years, but none OF
them have been in more cold blood than
the murder Of Policeman James Me
Grath of Burlington Thursday night. If
a murderer ever deserved hanging it is
the man guilty of this crime. TO judge
of the future by the past. what a picnic
ground for murdcrers and other fiendsh
criminals Vermont is, to be sure, There
is no State in the union, of which we
have knowledge, whore the evil door of
the first watsr--the man or woman whose
crime is of the most heinous nature--has
so little to fear in the way of detection,
conviction and adequate punishment as
Vermont, The petty pilfcrer gets it good
and hard but the murderer Of Policeman
McGrath Of Burlington can confidently in
advance count upon--if all recent proce-
dents are folowed-h a compare
lively easy time OF it"
To those who have been brought into
close contact with tho feeling generated
by the spectacle OF this loathsome crime
it hardly seems possible that any hend
convicted Of its commission could success
fully sue for executive clcmency or for
| legislative communication of sentence and
thus escape the penalty of his foul decd.
Least of all would those, who saw the
anguish Of tho wife and children of the
victim deprived of husband and father
without warning, plead for mercy for
tho od-hearted murderer who with the
slightest provocation laid him low.
! Vet in the light of experience wc know
that in spite of the strenuous efforts of
the officers of the law to apprchend the
| brutal murderer and the anxiety of the
whole people that the assassin should h'
caught, there will come a time. if con
victlon follows a trial. when the members
Of the Legislature will be asked to save
the murderer from the penalty of his
crime, and the pity Of 1t is that the
hardened criminal he must have been Il
commit such a crime under such cirCum
stances will find people 10 plead in his
behalf for that he refused his victim.
Who will rise and ask that the murderer
of Policeman McGrath be saved from the
calloWs?

INSTRUCTIONS THAT DO NOT IN
STRICT.

Whether it is owing to Judge Alton b.
paIicity OF political ideas, certain it is
that some Of our democratic friends arc
putting the English language to strange
uses 1t is stated for example that not
withstanding the instructions given for
Judge Parker in the Indiana democratic
convention, he may not receive more than
a complimentary vote from the IIooser
State delegation at St Louis. The ex-
PLANTATION Of this extraordinary state of
affairs is that the delegates have decided
they arc not bound to Parker for more
than one ballot in case it is found not to
be cXpcdicnt to supper. the New Yorl,
candidate further.
This is not the first case IN political his
tory in which instructions did not in.
struct The English language emhodies
so many other tongues that it IS not
strange its terms should frequently be
capable of variable Interpretation, particu
larlv in politics. In this case, however
the Interpretation given to the instruc
ton of the delegates to the democratic
I'itI'ldl convention was SO ultNllttltulN
liberal that the Hearst delegates, who hat
determined to carry the contost into tn,
national convention, have abandoned tina
project. and the Iloosicr delegation vii
act as a unit.
This being the situation in Indiana
there would seem to he no good reason
why the New York delegation to st. Loui
| should not adopt a similar Interpretation
and thus make it possible to conciliat
| Hearst at home as well as abroad
Boss Murphy OF Tammany Hall can b
made to SOC that instructions for Parke
| mean simply complimentary vote II
| may also hc induced to withdraw opposi
! tion to Parker in the hope that on the sec
Ond ballot the Empire State dclcgatio
may swing to Mayor Mcclellan, for ex
ample
In the meantime, if Instructions do no
| instruct, there would seem to be littl
need of further fighting for such instruc
tons. We sometimes speak of clasticit
of the currency, but our democrati
friends may have to face the currency @
too much elasticity.

TWO DEMOCRATIC INTERVIEWS

Mr. Felix W. McGettrick insists that he
has again been the victim of an interviewer
in the alleged presentation of his views
as published in the Boston Post, under a
ST. Adams date In the first and 4 half
place he says be has not been to the all
road centre for considerable period. In
the second place he insists that he has
hitherto opposed the instruction of Yer
mont delegates to the democratic national
conventions, so that he would not be very
likely to stand for the instruction of the
Vermont delegation to tho St Louis con-
vention for ex-Socretary Olney Of Massa-
chusctts. In the third place hc thinks
it is strange that interviews should keep
coming out tending to show him il the
position OF jumping from one candidate to
another and thus dscroditing his stability.
In the fourth place he does not like to
have it appear that he did not mean what
he said when he Informed the public he
was out of politics. Otherwise, VIC take
it, he is not disposed to complain Of the
interview or fine interviewer.
Inasmuch as the Post is a democra tic
paper and is printed at the Hub it IS very
natural that it should stand for the in
struction Of delegates to the st. Louis
convention for the favorite son If the Bay
State democracy. But taking this much
for granted, it seems remarkable that il

and do not believe they will do it now.
They will doubtless send delegates 10 St.

strongly democratic States as Iowa ana
Rhode Island and Hawaii and other
strongholds of the party. In the mean

VERMONT DEMOCRATS AND PAR
kER.

So Mr. Felix W. McGettrick of St.
Adams late democratic candidate for
the governorship, says the Vermont dele
cation to tho democratic national CON
vention will be for Oney! 1t is only
few days since the State democratic COM
mittee met in Burlington for the pur
pose of fixing a time and place for the
state convention, and at that time the
consensus OF opinion as represented by
the organization seemed to point strong
" in the direction of Judge Alton y.
Parker of New York.
Since that time some of the democratic
leaders in Vermont have apparently seen
great light, and as a result it is pretty
safe to say that the coming gathering
of the faithful in burlington will witness
as pretty a fight as has been seen in
Vermont since a number of the would-he
leaders sought to put the party in the
position Of a trailer behind a boiling re-
publican.
There are number Of prominent dem
ocrats who are first and foremost for
Parker, There are others who are quietly
hoping for the nomination Of Hearst, ana
the most inviting way to all appearances
for them is to oppose Instructions for
any candidate, Stl others will seek tc
mold the New England States together
on Olney, as we pointed out the other
day, in order that their delegates may
be delivered in the proper place al the
proper time, Whether the state demo
cratic committee will yield to Mr. Nc
Getrick in this matter or whether The
party Will insist upon dcmo2rati,
Inethod of allowing the members Of the
party as whole to say what shall b.
