UMMER s the we the kon fight than we sweet Cor- bett, since his re- turn from the herring pond, has done a goxd deal of splutter- ing, but that Is about all.

These worthies were natched to fight first "way back ber last, then in June, and yet they didn't ake a move fn that direction. Corbett .fl‘enz to England, and Jackson continued to chase little Eva 'round the country. It they want to fight so badly, why dida’t they fight then? two, in Novem- But without taking up further val Bpace, let me say right here that the Cali- fornlan and the t Indian stand Lttle show of ever meeting each other in the ring again, but it they do, it must be at Hoston or Plattsmouth. Minneapolis queered her- selt by admiuistering the dinky-dink to Mommy Ryin after his recent decisive de- feat of Mysterious Billy Smith. Out of 4,028 taken in at the door Ryan received ut $625 and Smith $105, and it is safe fto gay that the fighters will think twice b fore trusting the s in that neighbor- hood. ckson peremptorily announces that he will not do combat in the south, and as Boston and Plattsmouth are the only two citles in the north where a fistic seance can be successfully pulled off, it lies between them which gots the big plum. Of cours Boston s a few hundred people bigger than Plattsmouth, but that cals no figure. Platts mouth fs close cnough to Omaha to counter- balance any excess of population on Bean- town's pari, and when it comes to a_choice between the two places I think both Jimmie and Petie are liable to carefully weigh thelr fnterests and chocse Plattsmouth. Any- way, they are as apt (o do this as they are to fight at all. But to lay all levity aside, if Champion Jlm and Peter really are in earnest and want to fight and not advertise, the best thing In the worid for them to do is to settle on New Orleans, Jackson is almoat if not quite, as sure of protection, fairness and justics fn the Molasses City as the white man. I saw George Dixon fight Jack Skelley there, and in Jieu of any untoward happening, the little Huligonian met with an ovation. I think Jackson would be ac- corded similar treatment, win or lose. On: thing is certain, however, and that is the colored people would not be al'owed to at- tend the coniest. An apartment was set oft for them at the Dixon-Skelley fight, but this would not be the case if Corbett and Jackson met. ‘the management down there know too well the dangerous character of the southern blacks under exciting circum- stances, ond they would be rigorously ex- cluded from the arena. This I get from Mr. J. W. Hearne of the firm of Delgado & Co. of New Orieans, who was my guest over Bunday. Tn no city in the world was prize fighting ever conducted with such a degree of satis- faction as it has been in New Orleans, Coney Island, San Francisco, Chicago, Bos- ton or elsewhere, the game has been in the hands of a lot of fly-by-nights and sure-thiug en, and retained in a great measure all of its disreputable element Of course there have been goud fights seen at all these points, and they have passed oft quietly and with seeming eclat, but there was always & rumble afterwards over the gate receipts or something of that kind. For Instance, the whilom kings of Coney Island are ali duly tabbed and in Siag Sing; the Califor- nia managers are dealing faro, running skin Tuce tracks, or engaged M some equally commendable vocatio at Chicago they are hustling to escape the pen, and at Boston they are carrylng knives to cut each others throats at the first favorable opportunity. 8o there you are Tt it were not for the internacin: war that ds raging between the old Olympie and the new Auditorium clubs down in the Pelican capltal they conld soon have things all right there again. That prince of good fellow Charlie Nocl, president of both tha oid Olympic and Crescent City clubs, is in the common councll down there, and they say he comes pretty nearly standing pat on any question he takes Rold of. and there is no doubt but Charlie is aching for the return of the good old days. They spent a batrel of money down there last win to Keep any one of the thivteen adverse bills that were in- troduced in the legislature from passing, Which s evident from the fact that every on of the unlucky number was quietly chloro- formed and laid away ‘neath the nodding wild flowers. It takes money to control a legislature, even a southern legisluture, for, like many of our best northern law-niakers, they are susceptible (o bribery, Again, I repeat, if it wasn't for the fight that is being carried on within the two clubs mentioned in the precediug paragraph, th Y would soon have things about right agnin down in Loulsiana. But there are chances of their getting together, and ‘ere's ‘opin’ that they do, for then things would go sure. They are already flguring on a mighty car- nival, one whole week of fighting, for next winter. All of the red hots remember what all their carnlvals have been down there, es- peclally the Corbett-Sullivan affair. That will always remaln green within the memory of the dead game and the true sport as the greatest event since the days of the Pan- hellenium and Olymphiad. There was where the mighty Sullivan fell, and the great Cor- bett rose. It the plans of the New Orleans people do not miscarry the coming congealed season will witness' the greatest athletic saturnalia the modern world bas ever known, Secre- tary Ross writes me that they are gradually getting aftairs i shape and have already opened up negotlations for the performers upon this star occasion. Of course, first and foremost of all these will be Jim Corbett, The carnival would fall flat without Jim, but with him sporting men will gravitate thither from all parts of the known world, To go againgt him they must either secure Jackson or Fitzsimmons, and Ross says Lanky Bob will be the man ien follows Juck ‘McAuliffe and Horace Leeds, Tommy Ryan and Dawson, Dan Creedon and Peter Maher, Georgle Lavigne and Young Griffo, and Hughey Boyle and Jimmy Barry. Was there ever another such a galaxy presented to the sport loving public—could vivid imagination concelve of a more thrilling Pprogram. . “Parson” Davis saw Mysterious Billy Smith lose his laurels to Tommy Ryan, and to one Smith's friends said: *“I never much use for those boxers who tie es up In a kunot when in the ring, their overy movement showing the shoulder and arm muscles screwed up to the highest tepsion. Al the time Smfth was in the ring he bad his u‘ubx Finly set and his evely Miov@ment was With stiffened muscles, 1 glve him credlt for belng & Very game man and a tremendols hitter, but I do not like his style of boxing. He makes too hard work of it. Ryan is so much differont that you would think he was playing. His muscies relax untll such time as he strikes or defends himself frum a blow, and thea be is lightning personified. He Is a panther in the ring, easy and graceful in defense and remarkably quick to glve punishment. i Corbett-Jack- | 1 do not see where you are going to find a man in his class to whip him.” All the old time local patrons of the game will_remember Tommy Miller. He flour- fshed here #ix or seven years ago, if not ex- actly like u cedar of Lebanon, something after a big, healthy Jimson weed, anyway Much of Temmy's Iife was spent on the low side, and almost any afternoon you were sure to find him basking In the sun d-wn along lower Capitol avenue, Tommy wasn't ex- actly nutty, but what he did not know about prze fighting would keep a Philadelphia lawyer busy a lifetime finding out. How- ever, he thought he knew It all and didn't see how you could find a man who knew more. Well, Tommy throve along here until cne evil day we tock him up to Min- neapolls to cop some s(uff and do Tke Weir We neither copped nor did.

By a lucky winning streak Rock Island once more forged to the front and succe ded in fastening on to quite a comfortable lead, not great, however, but what it can be overcome in a_single weel's playlog. Omaba, Peoria, St. Joe and Jacksonvilie have also kept up their lick and are stiil virtually tied for second place, Lin- coln has made a big dump and Des Moines fal.en #.ill lower in the scale. Quincy con- tines to play good ball, but bad luck clings to her like the Old Man of the Sea clung to the buck of Sinbad the Sajlor. Despite the changes In the team's position the race con- tinues to be the closest, ho'test, most phe- nomenal end fnteresting base ball champion- ship struggle in the history of the great and glorions national game. It promises to be a whipping finish Fans, EORIA again this afternoon,and judg- ing from the in- terest manifest in the great chase for the pennant, one of the biggest crowds of the season will be on hand. The Illinofs blackbirds are putting up an elegant article of the game and are particularly anxious for today’s game. It makes a vast difference to each team no matter which way it goes, but Captain Mac says it is as good as won al- ready. Peoria may be all right some times, but this afternoca the Rourkes will show them where they are wrong. Next Tues- day Big Fat Jakey Strauss will be hera with bis band of Indians from Jackzonville.

That should be a ripping good game at the Charles Street park this afternoon. Both teams are playing grandly and both want this game the worst kind of a way. Buckeriuo Ebright and his gang of Liucoln elodhoppess are trylug to explain to the farmers down at the capital how it all happened, The consensus of opinion ar- rived at Is that it was Duck's thumb. There Is a very energetic move being made to secure a Western league franchisa for Omaha next season, but Omaha doesn’t kuow whether she wants it or not. The Western assoclation s the best she has ever had so far. Frank Selee of the Bostons declares that he believes that the ch. pionship will get thero agaln, but says: “It canuot be denfed that at the present time five or six teams are In the race, and liable to get to the front. If the Philadelphias could get some pitehers they would be dangerous. The Balti- mores have had a bad streak, but they are llable to come pgain, and very strongly. New York is in the race every minute, and playing fine ball. It's one of the prettiest contest I ever saw playing a great Glorles of 1 Lake. HERE s a great encamp- ment of hun- ters and fish- ermen up at Noble's lake, and from the latest grape- vine advices they are hav- § ing a royal time ‘with rod and gun. Up to date the fish- ing has not been all that It might be, but now, as the spawning season s over, the Izaak Waltons are anticipating a great fmprovement in this line. The black bass and pickerel still haunt the deep water, but as the grass frog, crawfish and grasshopper season s now rapidly developing they will s00n be ruwning thelr noses -up next to the rushes and investigating the shadowed pools and shallows. The middle of August should furnish great sport with Mlcropterus Salmoides, Just now the boys are doing thelr finest work with a species of fish made out of ivory or celluloid, They are fashioned somewhat ‘after the Atlantic flounder, only they are much smaller and rounder, say about the size of a balf dollar, Some mep have been known fo eat up stack after ulm"i of these fish and then get up from the table with a gaunt and hungry look In their tace However, it the fishing {8 not just what it ought to be the nimrods of the party are having royal sport with the upland plover, doves, gilligaloo birds and mud hens, Jack Morrison having thus far carried off the bauner. He made & bag of thirty-seven plover and twenty-one doves in & single of blue fish, interspersed with an occasional white. In the party are Colonel Barlow, the Mickadoo of the Yangtse and Kiang, Major Fred Wells, Billy Walters, B Relniart, Vie Gladstone, Ed _Nicholson, Charlie ' Mitehell, Buckerino Hend:rshot, Cholly Beck, Kid Warner, Gus Stephens and Lou Jones. So far the nelghboring farmers have missed but few chickens. Henry Stallenb:rg of Florence bagged nine plover Monday afternoon in an half hour's shooting. He reports the birds plentiful. F. T. Dorr, with a party of friends, was out after plover the other day, and when they got through with their day's sport six quail were in their bag, so Mr. Dorr says. Two of the birds were old femalss and full of eggs, about ready for their second nesting This would make a splendid case for th Omaha, Bemis Park and Raymond Gun clubs to’ inquire Into, Any man who calls himself a sportsman, and hoots quall at this time of the year should be taught a lesson that would last him through the balance ot his spor y career George Hoagland 1dling the summer aw They are both invete made some superb catches in waters. Joe F. Bass of Drummond, Wie,, formerly manager for Chaffee, the lumberman, was in a few days ago with about forty fine pelts taken from animals he killed last winter. Among the collection he had almost ever: thing from a skunk skin to a moose hide, besides four handsome moose hea Joe says there Is the greatest sport up there to be found anywhere in the worid, and during the last deep snuw fall he ac'ually run a big Lull moose down on now shoes and cut his throat with a razzer, which he always carries with him. Dr. Coples of Percival was in town the otlier day, and he reports an absolute dearth of plover down his way. He added, however, that the pastures in which Webby had his famous race for life before a drove of steers, is still there. Also that a section hand found the watch last Sunday which Mr. Weib lost on that memorable occasion. 1t had left the tall graxs where Webby lost it and gone np to the tank for water, where the Nired man picked it up. You will remem- ber, It was a Waterbury. Dr. F. N. Conner was seen on his bicyele last Sunday with his trusty Lefever strapped to his back. He was on his way to Sunday school, [ suppose, and has his gun with him to keep the siriking butchers off. Hugh McCaftrey and Tom Bruner put in a day last week near Gilmore after the whist- ling uplands and went into a pasture whuse owner was keeping his birds for John Hardin.

The meeting is to be in eonfunction with the fair, and = gives promise of being (he Jargest and most successful meet- ing ever held by this time-honored organi- zation. Secretary Briggs writes from Su- perior that he is fairly overwhelmed with applications, and that he never knew anything like the rash that is marking the prepara- tory work of the assoctation this year. This alone insures a profitable meeting, and the public can rest assured of seelng a great field of horses. This s made manifest hy the large number of entries made so long before the ciosing day, and the one question is, will there be room and accommodation for all who desire to participate in the mest- ing Already, fn the stake races there have been nineiy-seven entries made, and the bulance of the program will be as well if not better taken care of, and there is little doubt but what the banner meetiug of Nebraska's racing people is to be on Tuesday, W day, Thursday and Friday, September 4, 5, 6 and 7 next. A Veritable Gunners' Paradise, HERE Is but little doubt, T will say in answer to innumer- able Inquiries, but one of ‘the best countries in the world for feathered game, and for fish of all kinds, is that lying adjacent to the Elkhorn toad travers- ing the state north- westward. In many of the localitles, chicken, quafl, piover, grese, ducks, yeliow legs, crane and the sand piper family, a8 well a5 many varieties of fish, can be found in a single day's hunt, The season for chicken shooting 1s now drawing near, and all the country between Norfolk and Chadron Is overrun with these royal birds; there will be great shooting als0 on the Albion line between Humphry and Onkdale, along the Verdigre branch and all through ‘this region. At almost any of the sigtions good chicken shooting, coupled with first-class accommodations, can be ob- taiued, and in numerous localitles plover and wild fowl are always to be found in abundance in scason, These may all be found on a single trip. For ~a man who only has a few days, and especially desires to shoot chicken, the stations between Oukdale and Long Pine and north of Norfolk offer the grealest inducements In the way of accessibility and amount of sport within reasonable distance of the towns. Men with more time who are bent on camping for a week or longer and enjoy the greatest vari- ety of shooting, and good fishing, most any of the stations will answer, or those west of Long Pine to Chadron. The latter affords many excellent grounds by a drive of from six (0 ten miles back from the railroad, much of which have never yet been shot over, and where an abundance of all kinds of game abound, from the stately Canada goose to the lordly swan and sandhill crane. From Atkin- son, Newport, Stuart, Bassett, Long Pine, Wood Lake, Johnston and Valentine and other points the drive can be made to points where fishing can be had o addition to superb hunting. The best accommodations can be had at many of the ranches and farm houses where parties do not care to camp out, Many of the Elkhorn's agents are the best posted as to game and are always ready to introduce sportsmen to rellable persons who will give the necessary Information and as- sistance to fnsure the best of sport, Through- out this entire territory you will find but few farmers who will object to your shooting on his premises and legitimate sportsmen are always welcome. September and October are the great months. There is but little fear of stormy weather, and all you want to grow fat and healthful and saucy Is an old suit of clothes, a good gun and plenty of shells.

Massachusetts Fims & New Law with Excel- leat Provision A new jury law has just gone into opera- tion in Massachusetts, and some of its pro- vislons are manifestly so good that they might well be embodied in the code of other statos, says the New:York Post. For instance one section reads: *“The Board of Aldermen of any city shall ot strike any name from the jury list, as prepared, except of a person who_ has been convieted of a crime and has not been pardoned on the ground of his inno- cence of sald crime, ©F of & person who Is not qualified by law for sarvice as a juror,”” The intention here wasito do away with the favoritism by which men of influence were in the habit of ridding: themselves of the duty of serving on juries: The penalty for a vio- lation of the sectlon quoted is severe, it be- ing provided that If any person s gullty of fraud in the drawipg of jurors, either by practicing on the jury box previously to a draft or in drawing a juror, or In returning into the box the name of a juror which had been lawfully drawn out and drawing or substituting another in his stead, or in striking a name from the jury list, he shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $500. An additiongl officlal safeguard s thrown around the seleotion of jurors by the re- quirement that the mayor of any city shall bo presegt at the drawing and verify by personal Inspection the resuit of the ballots announced by the gldermen appointed for the purpose.

Miss Laughlin sald: Mr. President: The elections of 1892 gave all branches of the government into the hands of the party pledged to the reversal of the policy under which, during the last thirty years, this country has seen such prosperity as had never been scen In the history of the world, during which the wealth of the country has increased four- fold, from sixteen to sixty-four billions of dollars. Before we enter upon a reversal of such a policy It is well to pause and con- sider existing conditions and the first princl- ples of a protective tariff. And the first condition to be taken into ac is the greater cost of production In An than in forelgn countries. Nobody will deny that wages are higher in America than in foreign countries, It is plain, therefore, that the cost of production must be greater. The American cannot pay $2 for the same work for which the forefgner pays $1 and manu- facture his goods just as cheaply. It Is the mission of the tariff to equalize this differ- ence in cost of productio A protective duty fs one levied on articles of foreign pro- duction such as are or may be produced in this country, sufficient to measure the dif- ference in cost of production in America and in foreign countries. For example, if a foreigner can manufacture an article so cheaply that the cost of production includ- ing the cost of transportation to America is 80 cents, while it costs the American manufacturer $1 to produce the same article, then the tarift would be 20 cents, a sum suf- ficient to measure the difference in the cost of production and enable the American to compete with his foreign rival. There are no words sweeter to the d-mo- cratic tongue than free competition, and they are fond of asserting that the tariff prevents fre> competition. But it Is the tariff which makes free competition pos- sible. 1f in a race one who intends to enter fs crippled before the start thers can be no competition. If the cost of any article to a foreigner is 80 cents, while to the American it is $1, it is plain that the Amcrican cannot enter the race uniil the cost of production is equalized. Without such equalization the result is foreign mon- opoly. It is free trade, but it is not free competition. Excessive profits are often claimed to he due to the tariff. This is plainly false. Tae article which costs the foreigner 80 cents and the American $1, and on which there is a tariff of 20 cents may sell for $1.50, an excess of profit. How would the removal of the tarift prevent such a profit? If it wore removed the forelgner could sell his goods for than the cost of production to th , drive the American out of busi ness, and, with the monopoly thus s:cured, put_the price up again fo § But such profits are impossible with the competition between home manufacturers. 1t is a law of economics, which has no exception, that where any busin 65 yields excess of profits and the supply is uplimited men rush into that business and by increazing the supply lower the price. i The attributing of trusts to the tariff is equally abeurd and may be met with the same 1> of argument. Such a claim would have more force if trusts existed ovly in protective tariff countries, but there are many more trusts in free trade Englund than in protected Amorica. Every evil, even to the failure of the crops, has been attributed to the tariff by the democratic party. As the tariff Is not the cause of trusts, neither do we claim that it will pre vent trusts. The tariff s not a panacea. It will not cure the halt, the lame or the blind, or raise the dead—except our halting locms and our dead furnace fires, It iz true that the tariff sometimes meas- ures more than the difference in the cost of production, and In such a case there might be excessive profits for a time, but internal competition would soon lower the price. There Is a tarift of $2 a keg on wire nalls, while the nails are selling for $1.65 a keg, The tariff on steel ralls under the McKinley bill Is $13.44 a ton; the difference in cost of production is about §8. The tarift measures more than the difference In cost of produc- tion, but nevertheless American steel rails have recently sold In the American market for exactly the same price as English steel rails in the English market. How much lower would the price be-under free trad So high a tariff is plainly uhnecessary for or- dinary conditions, but Internal competition prevents it from creating excessive profits. Let us examine the shibboleths of the dem- ocratic party and we will find that they have more sound than soundness. The ‘‘markets of the world” vanish in the light of fact. According to Mulhall, American manufac- tures equal one-third of all the manufactured products of the world, We consume them or their equivalent. The home market then is one-half that of all the rest of the world combined, According to Mulhall again, the American home market is five times as great as the amount of imports into all the free trade countries of the world, including Eng- land, ten times as great excluding England. Protection countries reserve thelr home mar- kets for themselves, hence they are not open to us extept at a price. It the free trader would turn his attention from forelgn coun- tries to our home market, he would learn more things than he has as yet dreamed of in_his philosophy. The argument against the constitution- ality of the tariff is so absurd that it needs little attention. The first protect- ive tariff act was passed by the congress of 1789, introduced by James Madison and signed by George Washington. It would seem only fair to suppose that the men who made the constitution knew a little more about the spirit of the constitution than Grover Cleveland or the democratic party. “Buy where you can buy the cheapest.” This can be more quickly answered by illus- tration than by argument. Such a maxim glves us the sweating system; such a maxim would lead us to buy the pearl buttons manufactured by Austrlan convicts rather than those manufactured by American la- borers. All democratic cloque: cry, “The tariff is a tax Suppose it were; taxes are the price of government. But the tarlff 1s usually not a tax on the con- sumer, because when our manufacturers are driven out of business we are at the mercy of the forelgn monopolist, who may charge whatever prices he pleases. In 1570 tin plate was selling for §12 a_box. Americans went lato the business; English manufac- turers dropped the price to $7—to $3.60— to anything to undersell Americans. There was no tarlft sufficlont to measure the dif- ference In cost of production. Amerlcans were driven out of the business, English manufacturers secured a monopoly and put up the price again. The McKinley bill put an additional tariff of $1.20 a box on in plate, and yet a year after the passage of the McKinley bill tin plate was selling o a lower price than it had been for years be- fore the McKinley bill, but the price of English tin plate at our ports had dropped by the amount of the tariff. Most of all, the tariff is needed to protect labor. Senator Frye states that when in Paisley, Scotland, he secured the pay roll from the superintendent of the cotton thread manufactory of Cgats & Co. A short time afterWard he secureq the pay roll for the same month from Coats & Co. in Pawtucket, R. L The wages pald in America were from two to three times as great as those paid in Scotland. The same work, the same kind of machinery, the samé class of employes, the same employers, and wages from two to three times as much!
