mistake by taking chances, probably one
of the most conspicuous cases whereby
the weight question had material effect
was when Frank Erne. at that time light
weight champion of the world, tackled
Terry McGovern. Erne'S actual fighting
weight was 133, but he very foolishly agreed
10 weigh in at 12S pounds. OF course, the
sacTiflces he had to make to keep down
To his weight practically Slapped all of the
strength at his command. and when it came
to test he fell easy victim before the
little Brooklyn wonder.
1t is not a question of compulsion among
some fighters TO make weight They do
SO because they know when they are at
certain weight they are in the best possible
condition. This is shown among the heavy
weights II Is not necessary for boxers
who are fighting at catch weights to come
down to any special limit, still Champion
JefrieS works hard TO get to a certain
weight-his fighting weight. When not in
training Jeffries strolls around the street
at about go pounds. He is best for fight
ing condition at 205 or 30.
James ]. Corbett is another heavyweight
who was particular about his weight. He
fights at about $50 pounds. He does not
take weight quickly Jeffries when
out of training and when he goes into
training the reduction is not so great In
stead of reducing Corbett Immediately be-
gins To harden up his muscles Fitzsm-
mons's weight, like his age, has been a mys-
terry TO many. In appearance the Cornish
looks like a real heavyweight, about 200
pounds, but when stripped he appears much
lighter. 1t is good many years since F'iz-
simmons was required 10 make weight until
he met Gardner at 10 pounds al . O'Clock.
The weight in the Britt fight calls for
100 ponds at O'Clock, which means l33
134 at the ringside. This is the heaviest
weight Corbett has ever fought at. Still.
he will no doubt be strong. Britt is better
off at the weight, for he Is naturally heavier
than COrtStt.

JOCKEYS OF PRESENT

Little Trouble in Keeping
Down to Weight.
IN M'LAUGHLIN'S TINE

CHICAGO. March 5.-"Jockeys in these
days are so young and so small by nature
that they have comparatively little trouble
in keeping down to riding weight" said
Jimmy Mclaughlin not long ago. 1T was
far different in the later years when l was
in the saddle. for there were many mature
men riding then, and they had the hardest
kind of work all the time to keep down to
the limit"
Mclaughlin undoubtedly knew what he
was talking about but there was one of his
contemporaries who, if now alive. could tell
even more about the hardships he was
forced TO endure in order 70 be able 10 ride.
This was Fitzpatrick. the daredevil he
was known. The winter before French Park
was the unbeaten two-year-old OF his year.
Fitzpatrick took on flesh so amazingly that
at one time during the period of his idle
ness he tipped the scales at 156 pounds. He
was under engagement To ride for j. ID.

NOT A GOOD PLAN.

The Norfolk Virginian- Pilot has not fully delivered itself from the glam- our cast over 1t by MT. Bryan and his methods, and wildly intimates that Judge Parker should follow Bryan's plan of campaigning. To a contem- porary which objected to that plan of conducting the present contest the Norfolk paper declares with some heat that "as for MT. Bryan's campaign out more Democratic votes in 1896 than had ever been boiled in the his tory of the country"
 We hardly think there Is anything to boast about in the claim made by our contemporary. In 1892 the Populist candidate for President boiled some- thing over one million votes. In 1896, nearly all those votes went to Bryan, and they stuck to him in 1900 He boiled more votes than any man had done but whether they could all be classed as Democratic Is a Ques- ton about which people may safely differ.
 But, leaving that out of the contro- versy, we cannot agree with the sug- gestton that Judge Parker enter into d spectacular rear-platform campaign. It is all well enough to argue that he should make his views known, if there are any so dense that they do not all ready know how he stands, but it is to be hoped that he will not be persuaded into swinging around she circle. as Mir. Bryan did. for we do not believe such a course would strengthen him or the party.

Two Significant Elections Coming.

IN DOUBTFUL STATES.
k Where Watson Will Do His Cam paigning.


 Washington Special in Atlanta Consti- It is announced in New York that MT. Watson's campaign will be confined almost entirely to the doubtful States. This Is, naturally, construed to mean that, following the lines of his speech of acceptance, the Populist nominee Democratic Party, and to confine his work to those States where there is a possibility of doing most damage to the Democratic nominees. The Repub- lican National. Committee has, 1t Is said, prepared for circulation hundreds of thousands of copies of MT. Wat sons speech.
 There is, according to The Herald, no Populist organization in New York. but ed after by the so-called 'anti-Parker" crowd. of which Melvin G. Palliser is the head. It was this organizatio. . which held an anti-Parker mass meet ing in New York after the Albany con- vention and drew from MT. Bryan an attack upon Judge Parker, and espe- cially upon the Albany platform. Some | of these people wearing purple badges were in evidence about the Democratic body to listen to them but the Hearst delegates.
 More consideration is being given | the Populist movement about Republi- can national headquarters than any where else. apparently. There Is is an nounced that Mir. Watson will have no difficulty in getting the needed 5000
 signatures to secure a place for his ticket upon the official ballot. That he will devote himself to the close States is also announced from Republican headQuarterS.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-08-28

Commenting on a recent editorial of The Advertiser, The Mobile Register. pursuing the same line of thought, says:
 Read this in connection with the statements of the members of the Mo- bile Colored Ministers Union, some re
 port of which was made in yesterday Register: One preacher declared that there Is a large class of young negroes that have no respect for church, relig- ious services or for anything sacred. Another preacher stated that a lament ably large number of frivolous and lighthearted young negroes would turn churches into theatres and entertain audiences by minstrel shows.
 The irreligion here complained of is but a symptom of general disease that we may call the Responsibility of the younger generator of negroes. Religion teaches that there are duties toward God and duties toward ones neighJbor. It is apparent that in many cases the young negro does not have any sense of duty. He wants to play. to idle, to live without earning an honest living; he does not seek to be thorough in any kind of work.
 There is lack of wise parental guid- ance and early training. The youngs- ters free themselves early from re- straint; they grow up to be burden rather than a help to the community: and the race is losing ground in con- sequence. Each generation is little less useful than its predecessor. the black labor gives place more and more to the efficient white labor; the reward
 of negro labor lessens, and with the lessening comes less ability to keep up with the progress of the times. AL ready there Is a movement to introduce Italians into the supposed-to-be eX- elusive territory of the negro-the cot ton field. Booker Washington Is try
 ing with all his might to correct the evil, to lead his people out of bondage -out of this Egypt that Is enslaving them: but what is he among so many? They think they are free men and that duty is slavery. whereas a man who cannot do anything well and Is not worth his salt is a slave to his own ignorance and incompetence.
 What will be the outcome of 1t? The wisest cannot say. We admit that the white mans problem is easy as com | pared with the negro's.

NEGREss IN POsToFFICE.
Residents of Ferdinand, Ind, IndiG-
 nant ut Her Appointment.

Indianapolis Special.
 The town of Ferdinand, in Dubois county, is in a state of great excite ment over the appointment of a negro girl as a deputy in the postoftice, and the feeling is so intense that many of the patrons say they will hereafter or der their mail to be sent to Jasper, the county seat, unless the girl is dis charged.
 pr. A C. Walleman is postmaster, but his professional duties take him from the office frequently. Until a few weeks ago his wife stayed In the office when he was absent, but she was taken sick and died on Sunday. Several white girls, it is said, wanted the dep utyship In the postoffice, but MT Walle- man appointed Ida Hagen, the only daughter of the only negro family In the place.
 Much indignation was expressed over the appointment, and a petition signed by four-fifths of the patrons of the office was presented to the doctor, de- manding that the girl be discharged. He refused. and the demand was made that he resign. This also he refused to do, and tn" f", ling has grown with every hour till there is d strong prob ability that force may be used to com pei him to quit the office.

What Is WatsOn's Game.

Clayton RtCOfu.
 He has been in conference. so the story goes, with the chairman of the Republican Campaign Committee and the most cordial relations exist be tween them. What is the purposr therefore, of Watson in making the race? Isn't 1t barely possible that there is some coalition between him and the Republicans, and that in the event of the success of the latter. he. in consideration of the votes that ne draws from Judge Parker is to land in an easy berth. We trust that none or our friends, who were once tupu to their fathers house viii be mislcd by Watson, Parker and Davis are the men for whom all self respecting Southerners should vote, and for whom they will vote.

IT ALL DEPENDS.
Upon Carrying Few states.

Upon Carrying Few States. New York Mail (Rep)
 The political sharps in both Republi- can and Democratic camps who are fond of figuring on the result of Presidential campaign in advance com cede that Roosevelt can win without New York and that Parker cannot win unless he carries this State The reason for this unanimity of opinion Is based on the admitted division of the forty-five States into three classes safely Republican, safely Democrati" and doubtful.
 The total vote of the electoral col lege Is 4T6, and a majority necessary to elect either Roosevelt or Parker is 229. The conceded Republican States have 1SO votes. leaving 59 more votes to be gained in the States chased as doubtful. The safe Republican States with their electoral vote are:
