FECK'S LABOH BEFOBT.

That mnch talked of labor report from New York by the State statistical proves to be only a Republican campaign device, and false from end to end.—Star.

The Commissioner who made the report is a Democrat. He was appointed by Grover Cleveland when he was Governor of New York, and has served acceptably under three Democratic Governors, Cleveland, Hill and Flower. In reply to the attacks that have been made upon him by the Democratic press he says that he believes with Mr. Cleveland that "public office is a public trast," and that he has followed that sage's advice to "tell the tmt-h." The charge that he is a Republican he 6ays is not true as he expects to vote for Cleveland. He frankly admits that the report does not agree with his precon. eeived notions anil expecte3 the results to be different. "However," he adds, 'my duty as a State official is to report things as I find them, not as a reckless partisan should like to have them construed. There is no political bias about any of my reports, nor do I believe there is in any of the reports of any labor bureau in the country. AH that I can Bay is that the statements of my report are based on actual confidential letters received from 6,000 representatives of wholesale manufacturers of New York State. The result shows me that the leading Democratic speakers on the tariff are in error as to the effects of the McKinley bill. The figures in my report speRk for themselves and there is no getting away from them." The charge of the Star that Commissioner Peck's report is a Republic campaign device, therefore, is entirely gratuitous and "false from end to end."

CALIFORNIA TIN-

TnE JOURNAL still sticks to it that there is tin in California, when the facts long since have shown that there is not enough native tin in California to roof the Joritswi. building.—Star.

The editor of the Ocaln, Florida, Banner, was one of the editorial excursion ists to California last spring. He is a Democrat and desired to see for himself whether the Temescal tin mines were a myth or not, and accordingly improved his visit with Riverside friends by taking in the new lin industry. In a long letter to his paper he gives an account of his trip and what he saw. In the course of liiB letter he says: ^•Better tin.than was ever imported into

America is smelted daily at the Temescal tin mines. This dailj ,roduct is tli

tiork oi a five-stamp mill. Another, containing twenty »tan'ips, is about ready to begin crushing ore, while another twenty-stamp mill will be erected this summer." The letter is intensely interesting, but we have quoted sufficiently to convince the average unprejudiced reader that onr Florida Democrat friend is not quite so frugal of the truth as our neighbor at the other end of the alley.

MR. BLAINE'S LETTEK.

Hon. James G. Blaine has written a letter which has been given to the public on the issues before the country. It IB written in Mr. Blaine's nsual forcible style, and shows that the great statesman's heart, although physically ill, still beats in unison with the Ttepublican party. He touches upon but three points—protection, reciprocity and a sound currency—which he thinks should be ,the shibboleths of the campaign Mr. Blaine's logical letter cannot be answered and the Democrats will simply content themselves by a denial of the facts. His quotation from Jefferson showing that statesman's position on protection will make his alleged lowerB squirm.

fol-

IN the Wisconsin and Michigan gerrymander cases there was a viola tion of the letter of the constitution of which the courts were bound to take cognizance.— Indianapolis Sentinel.

But the Legislature of those two States were Democratic. Can it be pos

Bible

that the Sentinel will admit that a Democratic Legislature would violate the constitution.

In England the average daily wages of workingmen in the tin plate industry are from 20 cents to 82.40 per dBy. In the United States the average wages for the same work are from 75 cents to $5.40 per day. This difference is due lo a protective tariff.

WHEN- Republicans compare the letters of Blaine and Harrison, how henrtilv they will wish that the result at Minneapolis had been different!—lnlianu]olis Sentinel.

And when Democrats get through reading both those letters how heartily they will wish that neither Blaine nor Harrison had ever been born.

THE Indianapolis Sentinel objects to the power of the courts in this country to declare a law unconstitutional because it is not "English you know."

THE GBEAT CONTEST OF BEEF VS.

BRAINS DECIDED IN .FAVOR

vc: ^:y:v OF BRAINS.

John L. Sullivan is no Longer Champion

Of the 'World—He Easily Goes

Down Before James

Oorbett.

The great pugilistic contest between the world's champion, John L. Sullivan, and James Corbett tock place at New Orleans last night and [the great John L., who has held the world's championship since 1881 when he knocked out Paddy Ryan, went down in an ignominous defeat. It was a bitter, bitter pill for many to swallow and fortunes changed hands on the issue. The betting in cities and at New Orleans all favored Sullivan and the bet nearest favoring Corbett was two to one against him. Thonsands and thousands of dollars were placed five to one against him without ready takers. Hnndreds of men who were in New Orleans last night with thousands at their command are dead broke this morning and will have to walk home.

The news of the fight was received here last night at Sullivan's saloon and the place was packed like a sardine box with thoroughbred sports and with men who rarely or never before had graced a saloon. Respectable citizens crowded for places and displayed as much interest as the veriest hoodlum on the ground. Three men tended bar and they were kept on the jump from nine until eleven o'clock dishing out whiskey and beer to the thirsty and excited crowd which fairly fought for places at the bar. Betting was very slow until the reports began to come in and then the admirerB of Corbett began to show their stuff and take in some of the heavy odds which were offered. The Sullivan men were howling enthusiasts to the last and bet as long as their hay lasted. It ran out quicker than that of the Corbett people, however, because they gave odds and because their confidence was a little shuken toward the end although their partisanship did not flag, Still while the last fatal telegram was being rend a bet of $15 to SI2 in Sullivan's favor was made.

The reports were received through the Postal telegraph co-npany and were furnished by ex-councilman G. W. L. Brown, who very considerately mounted a beer keg and read the returns to the gloating multitudes. It was a goodly sight to observe the change in countenances when the result of the first round was read. Everybody had about concluded that it would take just about two rounds to do Corbett up, when it was shouted out that Corbett had decidedly the best of the first three rounds. He'had smashed Sullivan in the face and stomach at his own sweet will and had not been touched. Sullivan was bloody and panring and Corbett as fresh as new made hokey pokey. "When this was read a solemn silence fell over Tade and Dan's place which was broken by the joyous chuckles of the Corbett men, who were scarce when the music began and plentiful when it closed. The Sullivan people protested that "big fellow was only playing but when the report of the next three rounds arrived they looked a little leary. In each of these rounds Corbett had had a picnic in punching the neck, nose and 6tomacli of the big fellow and had received but one slight blow. The report of the seventh stated that Sullivan was grogg^r on his legs and was being punched freely by his light opponent. The report of the eighth was like unto it and when the ninth was read there was a mighty sick looking gang in Sullivan's saloon. Corbett had again opened the nose of John L. besides getting bis wind and pasting him two terrific blows in the Rtomach which were not returned

After the report of the ninth there

was a long wait and finally a man came rushing in and announced that G. W. L. Brown had failed to get any more uf the rounds up to the fifteenth. This round he had, however, and read it in a scholarly way which did credit to his bringing up. It was to the effect that the round had opened by Mr. Sullivan receiving a vicious punch in the stomach which caused him to grunt It went further and stated that he had received several more on various parts of his anatomy and that Corbett had dodged the only blow of any consequence which had been aimed at him. It further stated Uhal the round closed with the crowd cheering for Corbett.

The report of 'tthe sixteenth round gave some relief to the Sullivan people. It reported Sullivan as stronger and as getting in a couple of blows on Corbett's neck but still Corbett had the begt of it and had given Sullivan several hard blows in the face aud Btomach. Corbett was reported in the pink of condition too, but the Sullivan people still clung to their idol with a martyr's faitli.^ "He's only leading him on," "Sullivan will land a heavy one on his neck that will lay him out now," "Corbett is losing ground,"jwere some of the expressions to be heard on every side. All waited anxiously for the 17th round, but like the longed for letter, it didn't come."" The crowd waited patiently and a well known man walked up aud down through the crowd waving a $10 bill which he wanted to put on Corbett. The Sullivan people had put up all their hay however, and no more betting was done until the very last, when a couple of'Sullivan sports arrived with fresh wads to waste. The wait of half an hour was terrible on delicate nerves and was just at the ^fatal hour of eleven when Mr. Brown rushed in with the result. It was held while some bets were made and then Mr. Brown read an order from thejeuperintendent ordering him to quitj giving those reports. He had a private telegram, however, which was eminently satisfactory, it merely said: "CorbettJJwon in the 21st round, knocking],Sullivan out. It was clear knock out."

There was a yell from the Corbett men and a dazed and sickly smile from the backers of the great John L. The clock struck eleven, beer selling quit and everybody Jwent out on the streets saying that they thought it would turn out that way all along.

Leslie Davis' Show.

Leslie Davis' Fifth Avenue Company under the efficient management of W. W. Cole, appeared at Music Hall last evening before a good audience in the "Hearts of Oak." The performance was a capital one and the company shows marked improvement even over «the ex cellent combination of Inst year. Mr Frank Lindon as Jerry Dennison, and' Miss Edna Lindon ns Crystal were welcomed as old time favorites and sustained their parts nobly. Arthur Murkley as Uncle Davy, and little Grade Scjtt as Little Crystal brought down the house. Frank Iveson as Ruby Dnrr'.ll was also heartly encored and the performance as a whole quite excellent To-night "Hazel Kirk" will be presented.

Progressive Oinch.

Miss Mame Somerville entertained a party of friends last evening at her home on east Main street in honor of her guest. Miss Crouse, of LuFayette. The amusement of the evening was progressive cinch and the affair was a most pleasant one. A dainty luncheon was served and the guests admirably entertained.

The Itext In The World. Senator Henry C.Nelson, of NewYork, writes: "On the 27t,h of February,18S3, I was taken with a pain in the region of the kidneys. I suffered such ngony that I could hurdly stand up. As BOOD as possible I applied two of Allock's Porous Plasters, one over each kidney, and laid down. In nn hour, to my surprise and delight, the pain had vanished and I was well. I wore the plasters for a day cfr two as a precaution, and then removed them. I have used Allcock's Porous Plasters in my family for the last ten years- end have always found them the best and quickest remedy for colds, strains and rheumatic affecttions. From my experience I beleive they are the best plasters in the world.
