Don't Need Large Army.

When the President is trying to get
the army as well as the navy greatly
increased it is consoling to be told by
General Grant that under modern
methods of warfare an army Of 10000
trained soldiers could for time hold
off an army of almost any size. Dur
ing that time large army of men
with some degree of military training
could be assembled. We have about
10000 highly-trained soldiers. We
have about 100000 national guards
men of various degrees of efficiency
some of them closely approaching
the regulars, and we have already
demonstrated that young men with
no military training at all can be
made tolerably efficient in a short
time. Furthermore, no country ex-
cept England could invade us. We
have several large military posts OF
our northern frontier, and we could
line the boundary with men before al
English army could be landed in tn,
Dominion. With our ample railroa,
facilities large force could be con
centrated at any given point YER
promptly.

CARRYING DEADLY WEAPONS.

The carving OF deadly weapons is
practice which cannot be too
strongly condemned. That many per-
sons do carry concealed weapons is
unouestionably true. and there is no
part of our laws in which our officials
are more at fault than in permitting
this condition. without arresting the
offenders.
The law of Maryland is very plain
and stringent. and makes it mis-
demanor for any person TO carry
weapons. and imposes heavy pen
alties. But it is only now and then
that any one is arrested for violating
this law.
Our officials who have charge OF the
public peace and safety are criminally
lax in this matter, and there is
growing public sentiment against this
laxity. Police officers and others,
to whom the community looks
for it's safety and good order,
ought to be removed from Of
flee, who wink at this offense, and let
the offenders go free.
Much of the taking of human life,
which brings sorrow TO homes and
disgrace upon communities, is direct
ly traceable to the reprehensible prac-
tice of carrying deadly weapons. "The
handy pistol" in many cases is the
cause of murder, and has put the
hemp around many a mans neck, and
ought to have put it around the neck
of many more, who escape through
the technicalities of the law. In hot
blood a man, often Unexpectedly to
himself, quickly draws his pistol and
takes a human life. Except for the
convenience of the pistol, it would not
have occurred, and an everlasting
sorrow to his own family and to that
of his victim would have been
avoided.
So that, every officer of the law who
fails to perform his duty in arrest
ing persons for carrying concealed
weapons, and murder ensues, is guilty
of completely in the crime No man
can give a good reason for carrying
a loaded pistol, and the theory of the
law is that the man who does so is
a coward and has murder in his heart.
Voicing the sentiment of our law
abiding people. we call upon our Of
ficers here in Westminster and
throughout the county, to see to it
that the law against carrying conceal
ed weapons be enforced. The belief
is that a great many persons are vio-
lating this law every day.
1t is the manifest duty of our Of
ficials to see that this practice be
broken up, and the public protected
against it's possible consequences.
Let every man, white or colored, who
carries a pistol be arrested and pun

Round 13-Nelson forced Cans all

Round 13-Nelson forced Cans all
around the ring, but was met with
two hard rights to the body. Nelson
forced Cans against the ropes, but
the latter wiggled toward the center
of the ring and clinched. Cans, by
way of diversion, played for the
body as the latter was mauling away
at him and succeeded in landing two
lefts to the stomach. Cans spit
blood. Nelson hit rather low with
his left and there was some kissing.
During fierce rally Cans landed
several times with left to the body
and succeeded in holding the Dane at
bay. 1t was only short lived, how
ever, as Nelson rushed in close and
swung left to Cans mouth, starting
the blood afresh. Nelson smiled and
winked as he trotted to his corner.
Round 14-Nelson rushed into
Cans. who met him with rights and
lefts to body. Nelson wrestled and

reached the body with his right and
had Nelson backed against the ropes.
Cans pushed Nelson into the ropes
but no damage was done. The men
continued to fight close, but the
Dane was not for a moment daunted.
Cans took brace in this round and
succeeded in making an even honor
session.
Round 15-Nelson advanced to the
center and quickly landed with a
right to the body. but Cans more
than evened 1t up with two rights to

Nelson forced him against the ropes,
during which no damage was done.

from Cans mouth and he stalled as
Nelson planted right and left to the
body. Cans closed in. very tired
looking pugilist. Nelson came in
with left and right to the face and
nearly closed Cans right eye. Mel
son closed in like demon, landing
some awful wallops to Joe's face.
Cans face is badly cut and it does
not look as if he can last much
longer. The round is all Nelson's.
Round 21-Nelson worked into "a
clinch. Nelson suddenly sent in
rights and let's to the jaw and then
staggered his man with right to the
jaw. Cans sought to cover up but
Nelson was not there. Nelson drove
Cans to the ropes, landing at will on
a practically defenseless man. Cans
dropped to the mat, more from weak
ness than the force of the blows. He
tried to get up within the count, but
was too late. AS the official time

Continued from Page -

Round 11-Nelson came up dane
ing like two-year-old. He rushed
in close and continued smuggling
Cans was constantly on the defen-
sive. Nelson drove Cans up against
the ropes and landed vicious right
and left swings to the jaw. Cans,
however, rallied and gave the Dane a
good left and landed several right
uppercuts to the head and jaw. Nell
son was after his man with great
fury and landed several rights and
lefts on the jaw. Cans looked bit
groggy as he sought his corner. The
round was all in favor of Nelson and
Cans looked worried as his seconds
worked over him.
Round 12-Nelson, as usual, went
after Cans. Nelson swung his left to
the jaw, and Cans was kept very
busy blocking the Danes relentless
bombardment for the stomach. Nell
son left an opening and Cans shot a
right to the jaw. 1t was a very heavy
blow but in no way nonplussed the
wonderful smuggling Dane. Nelson
rushed Cans to the ropes and sent
him through with right and left
swings to the face. Cans hung on
with desperation and at this stage
looked like a beaten man. His face
bore the marks OF Nelson's punish
ment and he seemed content to hang
and clinch. AS the round ended
Cans caught Nelson on the face with
a hard right uppercut. steadying him

seat. looking all over a winner.

on. A terrific swing followed and
both men landed some close range
blows to the body and face and they
both spat blood freely. Cans was
very tired. Nelson closed strong by
landing left and right to the body
and then rushed to his corner with
the blood flowing freely from his
houth Cans took his corner and
looked very tired. 1t was furious
round with Nelson's advantage.
Round 16-Nelson rushed in and
was met with straight left to the
jaw. They worked to close quarters.
Nelson was cautioned to break away
by the referee and a moment later a
similar injunction was issued to Cans
for similar offense. The men con-
tinued to fight in close, Nelson ham,
mering away with right and left to
body and face. Cans suddenly
Strengthened Nelson by landing two
very hard rights to the stomach,
which he followed by landing a left
to the same place. This brought
wild cheering for Cans. Cans appar-
emily could not follow his advantage
and the Dane rushed in and resumed
his aggressive work. Cans had the
advantage of this round.
Round 17-Nelson again came up
dancing, but was met by two solid
blows, one right and one left landed
on the jaw. Cans stalled for rest,
Nelson meantime banging away at
his antagonists stomach. Cans up
percuted with his right to the face,
but Nelson closed in and landed two
or three short arm blows to the
stomach. They wrestled to the CEN
ter of the ring and Cans shook Mel
son up with two powerful rights to
the jaw. They did not phase the
Dane, who rushed in and never gave
the colored lad chance to rest.
Breaking from a clinch Cans hooked
a terrific right to Nelson's jaw that
brought the crowd to it's feet. The
bell rang on an even round.
Round 1S-Nelson put left to the
face and Cans slung terrific right
to the jaw, but Nelson closed in,
forcing Cans against the ropes. Here
he landed several hard lefts to the
body and put right to the jaw and
then two rights to the body. Cans,
stalled. Cans shot a hard left to the
body at close range. The Dane, how
ever, was not to be denied. He rush
ed Cans to the ropes and landed two
or three solid punches to the head
and jaw, but Cans rallied and just
before the bell rang evened up mat
tiers. The round was very fast and
seemed to indicate that Cans
strength had not left him.
Round 19-They fought to close
quarters. Cans uppercutting right to
face. They then exchanged rights to
the jaw, after which Cans sent in two
hard right wallops to the pit of the
stomach. Nelson bored in, working
both hands in wild fashion, but Cans
cleverly blocked his onslaught. Nell
son pushed Cans to the floor and fell
on top of him. The crowd yelled
fiercely When the men arose Cans
plugged away at Nelson's jaw and
body and landed some fierce punches.
1t was Cans round.
