DRIscoLL BEATS MARIO.
EnaIishman Closed Opponents Eye in
Fifth-Needed a Good Punch to Put
Him Out.

New York, Jan. 2S.-Jem Driscoll Of
Wales, featherweight champion Of
England, made his second New York
appearance at the Fairmont A. c. to-
night, and defeated Johnny Mario of
this city in ten fast rounds. The
fight went the limit but throughout
the Englishman had decidedly the
better of it. In the fifth round he
closed Marto's eye and from then on
his work was play. Had Driscoll had
a good punch he would have knocked
his opponent out speedily.

! have mentioned. BY their work that
innate brain power began to work, but
only in the one channel, that OF fight
ing. Donce aroused he startled the
world by the rapidity with which he
learned. Slowly but surely he beca tie
too cunning and swift for Ryan to
trouble him. The blows of the old fox
were blocked. or when they did land
the toughened frame gave no response.
1t was the evolution of the greaaest
Of all fighting machines. He went the
route learning from all of them.
sharkey Was Game.
when he first fought Tom Sharkey,
as tough and game a man as ever
stepped into a ring, it was almost a
standoff. But he developed rapidly
after that. The second time he fought
Sharkey he should have been in the
hospital instead Of in the ring But he
crushed in the sailors ribs, and Tom
has never been able to fight since. That
is/how hard he can hit.
AS to his sped and ability as a box
er, the last time he fought Corbett he
outboxed the man supposed to be the
cleverest in that line. Jeffries was the
result of an intelligent parentage, a
wonderful body and an early environ
ment which did not permit his brain
power to develop until he was matur-
primeval man being retained intact.
Il mean to take nothing from Sulli-
van, when say Jeffries would have
beaten him in a few rounds, for Sulli-
van was a vicious fighter. But John
L. won his fights by knocking down his
opponents guard with a sweep of his
left arm and crossing his right. What
chance on earth would he ever have
had to do that with man like Jeffries,
twice as strong as fast a sa light
weight, and cunning as Tommy Ryan
Freckled 5ob's Hard Punch.
"Jeffries once told me, after he had
lef the game, that the hardest punch
he ever got in his life was from Bob
Fttzsimmors.
" That red head he said, could hit
harder than any man who ever wore
round in that last fight when he land
ed the blow. 1t caught me between
the eyes and l staggered. The bell
rang just then and I dragged myself
to the corner. I leaned against the
ropes and was afraid to put my hand
to my head. I thought my skull had
been splintered to little pieces, and
they were piercing my brain. My
whole forehead seemed to be as soft
and mushy as a sponge. I kept Won
dering how 1 retained my senses
"Jeffries gave me that as an honest
opinion, and yet he recuperated so
quickly that he went in and beat Bob
to a plum. There is but one Jeffries,
and the way the fighting game is de-
teriorating 1 don't think there will
ever be even the slightest chance for
another one"

Reward the faithful and brand
those who voted to continue the ter
rible grip that the liquor interests
have upon our fair state with the
mark of the WHISKEY CAIN so that
no one need make the mistake of
ever again voting for them as pub
lie servants. The Tribune is sorry
that it has not the information
completely at hand, and therefore
will later republish the above roll
call, giving the party affiliations
and districts of the members.
Let the liquor interests have their
laugh now. It will be short Lived.
Let the politicians who pull the
wires and steer things thus to pass
within the marble palace frown
down any timid suggestion that the
people of the state at large want a
voice in their own government.
There will come a day of reckon
ing.
And Mr.. Speaker, who "repre-
sents the country and who was

COUNTY OPTION DEFEATED.

County option was killed in the
present session of the legislature
last Thursday in the House by a
vote of Al to 70. Mr.. Mckenzie,
chairman of the committee on Tenn
perance legislation reported the bill
back for indefinite postponement,
and moved the adoption of the ma
jority report. Messrs. Saugstad,
Mattson, Melby, Swendsen and Ru-
stad of the same committee submit
ted a minority report in favor of
the bill and moved it as an amend
ment to the majority report. Mr..

thus proposing to gag the minority
by preventing any debate on the
question. This motion was carried
by vote of &C to 81. Then the

ABRAHAM LINCOLN,

Next Friday the nation will COM
memorate the centennial of the
birth of Abraham Lincoln. 1t will
strive by words and deeds to fitting
ly express it's appreciation Of the
words he spoke and the deeds he
wrought. 1t is we'll that the nation
should do this. It argues we'll for
a commonwealth that despite its
complexity of problems and it's d.
versity of opinions, it will unite to
pay homage to men of preeminent
usefulness and virtue. And yet we
are so apt to remember the HERO
and forget the MAN; we are so
prone to applaud the things he
achieved and forget the PRINC1-
PILES which prompted them. We
ought to remember Lincoln, not so
much as GREAT PRESIDENT,
but as GREAT MAN: as a man
who by his own struggles learned
to sympathize with the struggles
of others; as a man to whom perso-
nal integrity, unselfishness and hon.
or Of soul were everything and per-
sonal gain or favor nothing. He
hated shams, whether in persons or
policies; he loved truth, and he be-
lieved in the final triumph Of truth
with a faith that neither disheart-
ened men nor adverse circumstances
could shake.
Abraham Lincoln is no more; but
truth, sympathy, unselfshness, per-
sonal integrity and honor of soul
remain-and the need of these vir-
tues is as great as itever was. We
can commemorate the centennial of
Lincoln in no better way than to
solemnly pledge our efforts, no mat
ter how humble they may be, to
practice these virtues and by them
help that 1.-THE government of the
people, by the people and for the
people shall not perish from the
EARTH"
