STANDING OF THE CLUBS.
AMONG THE BOXERS

The New England boxing world is all at
sea as IL We're. this week, for IL is not
known for sure what is on for Chelsea
and as the club management itself is not
sure what IL will bill and the local fol-
lowing of tho sport Is confined to tho
Douglas club. there is much perplexity
on all sides
For tho past few weeks tho-~club has
been in court relative 10 its boxing
affairs. but II the outcome OF its case
today proves satisfactory. the club will
hold a meeting tomorrow night. The
matchmaker Is trying 10 get Phil Logan
OF Philadelphia 10 box Chester Goodwin
OF Chelsea The short notice. however,
will probably act against the securing
OF this bout, IN whfct case au effort witt
be made To get Matte Baldwin TO box
with Goodwin.
Matte has been anxious 10 get on with
Goodwin. Goodman. Herrera or any OF
the boys OF the weight that ever showed
in Chelsea and for some reason this game
little Charlestown lad has been success
full. No doubt the chance 10 meet Good
win before n home gathering will be 10
his liking, and If he is in shape there is
sure to be a fine battle.
Matte Is undoubtedly one of the best
little fighters of his weight in New Eng
land. He has certainly improved since
Billy hamilton and is now travelling fast.
But aside from Chelsea there is plenty
doing in boxing throughout the country,
even right here in New England. In
Brockton tonight Tommy Feltz Will box
with Tommy Quill, in place of Chester
Goodwin, and this should be a good open
ing for the week Another bout billed
for tonight is that between George
Gardner. formerly OF Lowell, and Billy
.,gft ,,,I
nowhere near the boxer he used to be,
but the bout may give some idea of just
how far back Gardner has really gone,
and what his chances are for ever
amounting TO anything in the boxing
world.
The most important event for the week.
OF course, Is the battle between Young
Corbett and Eddie Hanlon Friday night
i'm San Francisco The bout should be n
good one. though there is really nothing
at stake excepting the long end But II
may give an idea OF just what Corbett is
worth in the ring today II ne shows
well against the boy he may be able 10
get back some OF the prestige he has lost.

The Large Party Was There.
Boston Herald.

Boston Herald.
Not long before his death Thomas
B. Reed visited some friends at their
summer residence at Watch Hill, R.
I. Late in the afternoon he was
driven up to Westerly to take the 7
o'clock train for Boston. 1t was a
warm evening. the horses Jagged, and
he missed the train. the last Boston
bound train stopping at Westerly that
night.
As Mr.. Reed had an important en-
gagement in Boston early the next
day he seemed worried until he learn
that there was Boston express
which passed Westerly at 9 o'clock.
Then he smiled.
Going to the telegraph office he di-
rected telegram to the superintend-
ert of the road in Boston, and sent
the following message:
"Will you stop the 9 o'clock express
at Westerly tonight for large party
for Boston?
The answer came: eyes. Will stop
train"
Mr.. Reed read the message, and
smiled. When the train pulled in Mr..
Reed quietly started to board it, when
the conductor said: Where is that
large party we were to stop for?"
81 am the large party" replied Mr..
Reed, and he boarded the train.

SENATOR TILLMAN.
"Is A Man of Pronounced Individual
ity of Character of
Washington Post.

Mr.. Benjamin R. Tillnlan. senator
in congress from the state OF South
Carolina, is a man Of pronounced III
dividuality OF character and forceful
personality In speech he is frank
and picturesque rather than eloquent
In action he is independent. agrees
i've. audaciouS He is not d great
reasOner. but he is a man Of ability.
He is not a polished scholar, but his
acquired knowledge is extensive. Here
is the latest manifesto ascribed to
him: MY policy has been to get
everything for the south when saw
the chance. and | tried to get it right
or wrong, honestly Or dishonesty, be-
cause those people up there have been
stealing from us long enough Ii
that be the spirit Of the New South,
the sooner it gives place to the spirit
of the ''Old South" the better We
can not imagine Calhoun or Hayne,
Lowndes or Hammond, saying a
thing like that. We know they would
have contemplated it with horror, and
rejected it with scorn, had some pub
lie man Of South Carolina advanced it
in that elder and, mayhap, better day
Of the republic. Contrast it with the
proud and noble utterancees of Ham
mond, in the senate OF the Thirty
sixth congress. when Seward, with
coarse exultation, reminded the SEN
ate that the scepter had departed out
OF the south forever, and how mean,
how groveling, how immoral, how
wicked it sounds Besides, it is bad
policy. If the Federal government is
game of grab and graft, the north
will always beat the south in the play
ing of it. In such a contest the
stronger section will ever get more
than it's proportionate share and the
weaker less than its proportionate
share. True, there is a vicious axiom
advising the upright to fight the dev-
il with fire; but the answer to it is
conclusive-the devil has more fire
than you. understands how to throw it
better than you, and, therefore, you
would better fight him with another
weapon-a blameless life, for instance.
That will beat him and all his fire,
every time. If Senator Tillman's poll
cy, as he calls it, gets to be universal,
what sort of spectacle will our
country present to the rest of the
world? We would become a nation
of graf1ers, and after a while honor
able poverty would advance in the
scale of reprobation-cease to be a
misfortune and become crime. SEN
ator Tillman may call this cant, and
there are thousands who will agree
with him. But history will vindicate
those who plead for faith in the dis
charge Of political as we'll as COM
mercial obligations, and he who is
false in one of these will not long be
true to the other.
