APOTIIKOStS OF TtlK M/tt'/Sfi/tS. /
For nearly two months piist a largo
proportion of the maio inhabitants of
the Unttod Stales who kocp themselves
informed upon current events hnvo beoii
moro or loss ab&prbcd with the question
na to the "condition" of half u dcr/cn
pugilists , who have bocn in training for
lights which are to ttiko place this week
In New Orleans. The daily pupors have
"given this subject greater consideration
than almost any other , unless it bo the
chojorn. Sporting editors wcroclovated
from the bottom to the top round of the
journalistic Inddor , tholr eompr.ny
courted and their opinions eagerly
sought , and it Is but just to sn.V of these
gentlemen thnt Uioy have not failo'd to
show a proper appreciation of their im
portance. They have industriously
kept track of the progress of Iho several
bruisers in their preparations for pound
ing ouch ether and have told about It in
the bast language of the spsrting edit
or's vocabulary.
This populm * interest has boon stead
ily wo-Iced up. until but little also has
been tallied about in public places for
weeks past than tlio coinpiirativo physi
cal condition and slugging capabilities
of Sullivan aud CorbotU Men of wealth
and politle.il and social prominence
have paid their roupeotsto the sluggers ,
and women who rank well in the social
world have eagerly sought opportunity
to bo presented to thorn. Their train
ing places have been besieged daily by
hundreds of people curious to got a view
of tlio burly bruisers , and whenever
they have shown themselves to the pub
lic they have been greeted with plaudits
of admiration , while men pushed -xiid
jostled each ether for Iho privilege of
shaking hands with them. When Stilll-
vnn nnd Corbott departed for the scone
of battle they were the recipients of an
ovation , and all along the jouruoy they
received as much coiididor.ttion ns if
they were on a mission for the benefit
of humanity instead of having a brutal
personal encounter as their object
Admiration of fine physical develop
ment , of manly strength and athletic
skill and prowqss is a natural and alto
gether proper fooling. It is instinctive
in the rnco nnd has boon manifested in
nil ages. The ancient Greeks and Ro
mans sedulously cultivated physical de
velopment , and the gladiators of old
enjoyed a largo measure of popular fa-
vnr. But in this moro enlightened and
Christian ago the attention that is shown
men who make a business of fighting ,
who use the splendid muscular powers
with whiuh they are endowed , in bruis
ing and pounding each other into insen
sibility for a money consideration , can
hardly bo justified on tlio ground of a
natural admiration of superior physical
manhood. The prlzo fitrht is essentially
brutal , and the popular toleration and
approval of such exhibitions must neces
sarily have a demoralizing .intluancc.
Its tcnaency is bad upon the youth of the
land. It incites every muscular and
combative boy to become a.bruto among
his fellows , ill-using and terrorizing
those who are inferior to him in btrongth ,
nnd it fosters a desire among such to
emulate the example of the Sullivans
and Corbctta. The inlluenco for evil is
greater now than formerly , when the
prize fight had to be conducted stealth
ily and all concerned in it were liable to
arrest and punishment , because it now
has the countenance of wealthy and re
spectable club man , and in a measure
the protection of law. The brutal sport ,
if sport it can properly bo called , is now
given a sort of "rospuctibility" by reason
of the patronage of mon whom society
regards as respectable.
It is not creditable to the American
people that this method of "elevating"
the prize fight originated in this coun
try , and it is to bo hoped that if it is
destined to continue long it will bo con
fined to the localities where it is now
practiced. Every community will ao-
cido for itself as to the desirability of
encouraging prize lighting , and wo have
such faitli in tliu intelligence and solf-
respect of the American people gener
ally as to believe that there are few
communities whore this "sport" can
become permanently established.
A TIKMRDY FOR LAUOll TIWUIiLES.
It is a promising fact that the labor
problem is receiving the attention of
Borne of the ablest minds in the country ,
who recognize the commanding import
ance of the question how to remedy the
troubles which are constantly arising
between labor and capital. Among these
who have recently contributed to this
subject , finding the inspiration thereto
in the Homestead dilllculty , is Hon.
Chauncoy P. Black , of Pennsylvania , a
gentleman whoso views are entitled to
the most respectful consideration.
Mr. Black urges that it is the duty of'
the btuto to prevent such outbreaks us
that at Homestead by depriving mobs
of all decent excuse for existence and
removing the grievances which in labor
controversies tire alleged us their oc
casion. Whether these grievances ex
ist or not , h suys , must bo submitted to.
some ether arbitrament than that of
clubs and guns , hot water , electric bat
teries and dynamite in the very near
future , if any pence is to bo kept in tha
land , The steadily increasing conojn-
tration of workingmen in largo num
bers in mills and mines and at railway
terminals lias changed all previous con
ditions. Capital niassud on ono sldo nnd
mon massed on the ether inaito n situa
tion to which neither tno common law
nor the ntuUito law of our forogoors is
at all adequate. The principles of these
laws are as applicable and us effectual
today as over , but they need elaboration
and tlio support of now machinery.
While executives , courts and juries are
confessedly uimblo or unwilling to cope
with unlawful combinations of cum till ,
how can wo expect thorn , asks Mr.
Black , to deal promptly , successfully
and jusvly with vast multitudes of ag-
crloved Itilorurs , too often technically
at faulty
Mr. BliiiiU'fl remedy for labor troubles
consists in glvliis lab r organizations
the chamctor ol corporations , under
which they would bo enabled to make
contracts for thomonbulonglngtothom ,
auch contracts to liavo the protection of
law , IIo would have the labor orgaul-
zillions a countorpurt of the capitalist
corporation , possessing all the rights
nnd functions of the latter. Ho thlnkir
the state eau make this labor cuporu-
tion for ull the purposes of lu creation ,
t , , * . . . ' . X
I qullo MS responstblu as the capitalist
corporation , nnd it uan regulate the
conduct of both classes of corporations
I nnd provide methods for thosottlomontof
disputes which would relieve the shorill
nnd thi militia , of a lurgo part , if not
the whole , of their disagreeable duties.
Tlio state shouid also provide for the
peaceful sotUun.ont of disputes between
the njrgrojratlons of capital on the ono
side ttnd tlio aggregations of men on the
other. It must do thh not only in jus-
tlco to the uartiot immediately con
cerned , but in justice to ilsolf. Pro
visions for arbitration , provisions for
speedy litigation in default of arbitra
tion , provisions for preserving condi
tions against radical changes whllo the
legal settlement is in progress , pro
visions against call-outs , locKotits , and
strikes hi the intqrlm , and above all ,
provisions against evictions of workman
and the introduction of armed forces
these nro the outlines , siys Mr. Black ,
whiuh the wisdom of a legislature bent
upon si fair solution of tlio most difllcult
problem and the rsmovitl of the gravest
danger of modern times might bo cx-
poctod to lilt in with details that would
not defeat tlio great object in view.
The plan proposed is somewhat novel
and there are obvious objections to it ,
but it is neither iiratloir.il nor neces
sarily impracticable. The great dif
ficulty in the way of Us success would bo
found in the impossibility of any labor
corporation drawing into it all the
workers in its class , and bo lo'ng as any
largo body remained'outsldo of it it
would bo at a disadvantage. The
oninlon is growing that sooner or later
the state will have to take hold of this
problem , and every such contribution to
its solution as that of Mr. Black is
therefore entitled to serious attention.
There is certainly no subject of greater
gravity and importance to all interests.
Till' Sl'ATR FAIR.
The state fair at Lincoln will open to
day and it will bo an exhibition worthy
of Nebraska. All of the departments
nro reported to bo full and it is said
that in most of them the displays have
never been finer than they are this year ,
whlli ) there will bo some now attrac
tions. This has boon n coed agricul
tural yonr for Nebraska and there is
every reason why the exhibit of the
products of the state should bo com
plete and attractive. The industries of
the state have also boon well maintained
during the past year and will make a
satisfactory display. The mercantile
exhibits , in which Omaha will have n
prominent share , will bo quite as full as
usual and they constitute a most attract
ive feature. The display of stock will
bo uncommonly largo and line , illustrat
ing the steady progress of Nebraska in
this respect. In short , every depart
ment will present at loastits usual claim
to attention , and that prime attraction
of all well-appointed fairs , the racing ,
will bo up to the standard of former
years.
Already Lincoln is filling up with
visitors , which indicates that popular
interest in the fair is as keen as over.
Most people could find no moro instruc
tive and enjoyable way of passing a few
days than in going to the state capital
during fair time. Lincoln is a pleasant
tov.n to visit and during the present
week it will bo especially attractive.
The success of the fair as an exhibition
being assured , there can bo no aoubt
regarding its popular success , and it is
to bo hoped this will bo greater than In
any previous year. Every Nebraskan
should feel it to bo a personal duty to
visit , if ho have the time and means ,
this annual exhibition of the producits o
the farmers and factories of the state.
Tun Grand Army encampments at
Superior and Grand Island have gene

everybody. While the object of these
great gatherings is by no moans poHtl-

still cling to the political principles of
which the republican party has for
thirty years been the foremost expo
nent. In short the boys will vote as
they shot.

WASIMNO.TOS' , D. C. , Sept . 4. j
Ono of the results of the visit of Ur. John
D. Hamilton of Chicago tn Washington will
bo scon tomorrow , when a circular will ba
issued from the Treasury department , modi
fying Iho order recently inailo concerning
the fumigation of tbo baggage of pasnongors
on steamships. Surgeon Hamilton nnd Sec
retary of the Treasury Poster wont to Now
York nt4 o'clock this afternoon , but before
thulr departure this now regulation was
agreed upon. It was also determined that
the surgeon , who Is tbo chief assistant of
Surgeon General Wyrnnn should , bo sent to
Montreal to see what tliu Canadian authori
ties are doing to protect their ports against
an Invasion of the epidemic.
The now order for fumigation will protoot
the costly clothing which will bo brought In
by cabin passengers. The order heretofore
Issued was for the general fumigation of all
baggage with sulphur. This would rum
silks nnd other costly goods. At the sug
gestion of Ur. Hamilton , tbu fumigation of
these 'fabrics will bo by dry hont nt a Umi-
poraluro of CO0 centigrade , or 140 °
Fahrenheit. This is 10 degrees higher than
Is required in tbo regulations of tbo Public
Health association.
Secret itry Foster I "on In Hopeful.
Secretary Poster's equanimity has boon
anttrolv restored by tbo coming of Dr. Ham
ilton. In this emergency , entirely HOW to
hltn. bo felt naturally nervous. Dr. Hamil
ton's experience in Marino hospital work aud
bis couttdenco in himself gave the secretary
con 11 donco m blm and the fact that ho was
Mr. Foster's physician and nursed him
through ascvoio illness a year ago makes
tlio secretary still moro reliant on blm. Ho
accompanied the oocrotary to Now York , nt
his request , to inspect with htm tbo work
that is being done at quarantine and to ollor
such suggestions that may occur to him for
tbo modification of existing regulations.
Dr. Humiltot , says today that the stops
tbat have boon taken thus far , with ex
ception of the order for the twonty-dav
quarantine , were in line with Iho action that
had bean talton by the Marino hospital scr-
vlco in the pnst. "Thero Is no danger that
cholera will got into this country if the
printed regulations are rigidly observed , "
ho said , "and even if it should break out In
any particular place I have not the slightest
doubt that It could bo controlled and confined
to thnt placo. "
How long Secretary Foster will remain In
Now Yorlt depends very much on what the
health authorities do with the steamer City
of Now York and her passengers. Ho goes
to moot bis wife and dp'igbtor and will re
main in Now York until they leave the
steamer. Thov will arrive ubout Wednes
day. Hn will probably send Dr. Hamilton
back to Washington within a day or two.
Dr. llitinlltou'fl View of the Situation.
Your correspondent bad a long talk with
Secretary Foster today and ho expressed the
utmost confidence in tbo ability of the gov
ernment to control the threatened opidomln
and keep It from our shores.
In a conference with tbo attorney general
last avoning Ur. Hamilton called attention
to n law enacted , which was drawn up by
him , and after being submitted to the solici
tor general for his opinion was sent to con
gress and duly passed und signed. It pro
vides "Tbat whenever It shall bo mode to
appear to tbo satisfaction of tbo president
thnt. nhnlnrn. vnllnw favor , small nnx or
plague exists in any state or territory or in
tbo District of Columbia , and that , there Is
danger of tbo spread of such disease Into
other states , territories or the District of
Columbia , ho is borobv authorized to cause
the secretary of the treasury to promulgate
such rules and regulations as , hi his judg
ment , may bo necessary to prevent the
spread of such disease , etc. "
Dr. Hamilton held that under this statute
the government could quarantine against tbo
vessels now In New York harbor or to arrive ,
under such regulations as seemed to the
president to bo nccossarv.
"Tho harbor of Now York1 said Dr. Ham
ilton , discussing the matter today , "is a part
ot the state of Now York. These ships on
which cholera has broken out are within tbo
jurisdiction of tbo state of No v York , there
fore within the state. Under this law , then ,
the president has a right to cause the secre
tary of the treasury to Issue regulations for
the quarantining of tbo vessels to prevent
spread ot contagion to other states.
IMirerd With a High OIHclal.
"An authority which I will not name , but
so high that I do not care to nrguo the mat
ter , holds that the United States has juris
diction only at state lines. But It scorns tome
mo that this nullilles the intention of the
law. It was enacted at the time wo had n
yellow fever epidemic In the south to con
trol. Tbora was no law then to permit us to
establish a quarantine , and wo bad estab
lished ono by the consent of the governors of
two states without warrant of law , and wo
wc'ro afraid that the railroads might take tbo
matter into the courts and ligUt us there , so
wo wont into eonirress for a law. so that wo
should bo prepared for such an emer
gency as the present one. Now u
seems to me that if wo have to go back to
stale linC3 to establish u quarantine the
manifest purpose of the law U nullified. Ill
that construction of the law wo would have
to go back to the Now Joi-sov lino. In cane
the pleaguo oroko out m Now York , nnd ,
then , If it broke out again beyond us , say at
Newark , wo would have to retire with our
quarantine to the Pennsylvania lino. "
Secretary Foster , who was 'not present
during this conversation , said later : "It
may be that wo have tbo power to establish
a quarantine under thU statute , but 1 take
ovou a higher piano. I think that wo have
the power under the emergency which has
arisen. "
Dr. Jrnlclii'8 I'osltlon Dlscuaiod.
Questioned about the attitude of Dr. Jen
kins , tbo secretary said : "Ho has modified
his position very materially la bis latter
statements and I think that we will bavo no
trouble with blm. But whatever ho may do ,
tbo collector at Now York has his instruc
tions * and ho will prevent passengers landing
from vessels within the twenty-day limit , or
longer if wo see lit.
"I thin it that the president has all the power
now that congress could give him in tbo mat
ter. If congress were called together It could
only vote moro nionov , and although wo have
an Insufllclont supply of money to meet a
great emergency , wo will got It somewhere If
It is necessary , Borrow it If wo Have to.
There will bo no luck of monoy. "
"I Imvo no fear that wo will bo nttaciccd
by the cholera , " said the secretary , con
fidently. "I bavo had no four from the first.
Why , only flvo years ago , Dr. Hamilton tolls
mo , thoro' was moro cholera in tbo harbor
than there Is today und there was no such
fuss niatto over u. To be sure the infection
then came from ports which wore not so
near to us , ports on the Mediterranean , aud
as for its spreading , Dr. Hamilton told us a
story last night which Illustrates bow thor
oughly tt can bo controlled. During tbo npl-
doinio of 18711 , when tboy bad cholera In Now
Orleans ana It spread up the Mississippi and
tbo Ohio and tbo Cumberland and broke hero
and there in spots and broke out
in a llttlo town in Minnesota , It
was traced baok to New York. Some nnmi-
grants from onu of tha lufoctod districts had
come through Now York , passed the inspec
tion there and bad gene on west without
opening their baggago. Tboro were about
ton of them. When tboy opsnod their bag
gage the cholera broke out , but It never got
beyond that a pot. It was confined there und
although the baggagn had gene clear across
the country tbo disease did not break out
anywhere oleo.
Sutullud Tliara l No Cniue for Alurin ,
"No , I am satisfied tbat there la no danger
and tbat .there is no occasion for any alarm ,
Dr. Austin will go to Monlroil today or to
morrow to BOO wbut the Canadian authorities
uro doing. They toll us that tboy are taking
every precaution , but tboy scoui to bo a llttlo
slow nbout 1U Wo hfivo the bonier thor-
oiiehly guarded ntivwny , "
Discussing the effoot of Iho twonty-di ? *
quarantine. Or. Hnmtlton until : " 1 thin it
thnt the result ot this will be thnt the llrat
clnss steamship lines will rrmlco arrange-
men Is porninncntl } to cnrry tholr cnhm busi
ness nnd their steerage business in UlfCeront

rrosUlnnt lltirrlftnn'ft I.olloraf Accoptnncr.
The president's letter ot acceptance will
bo given to tbo publics Tuesday morning.
The Intention , originally , was to give it out
for publication tomorrow , but It wns de
layed nnd the president has given eiders
that It bo given out tomorrow night lor put-
Mention Tuoulny morning.
Nothing has excited more Interest than
tbo speculation AS to what the president
might say on the subject of the force bill.
The attempt of the democratic press , with
the assistance of Senator Gormnti and Sen
ator Uansom , to make Iho force hill nn Issue
In the campaign , has put the country on the
qtit vivo on the subject and led to much
speculation as to What llio president is
likely1 to say. The members of the cabinet
were equally anxious to kuow , in common
with tbo rest of the people who read the
president's last nnnual message. They bad
forgotten n llttlo passage In It , whiuh they
found when the president road the
letter to them. It was the key
note tof what bo had to snv on this
subject. After discussing the question
of election frauds autt the gerrymander
In the message tbo president s.ild i "I bo.
Hove It would bo possible to constitute a
commission , nonpartlsan In Its momhorshlp ,
and composed of patriotic , wise and Impar
tial men , to\whom u consideration of the
question ot the evils connected with our
election system nnd methods might bo com- ,
mittcd with a good prospect of securing
unanimity in some plan for rorpovlng olrmlti-
gutlng these evils. The constitution would
permit the selection ot the commission to bo
vested In the supreme court If that method
would give tbo host guarantor of Impar
tiality. This commission should bo charged
with the duty of inquiring Into the subject
ot elections ns relating to the choice for of
ficers of the national covcrnmont with n
vlow of securing to every elector the frco
and unmolested exorcise of suflrago nnd as
near nn nppronch to un equality of value-In
oacb ballot cast as is attainable. "
The president goes on to discuss nt length
the question of tbo right of ovorv citizen to
cast his vote freely and fairly. But the sug
gestion above , for the appointment of a nonpartisan -
partisan commission for the consideration of
the Question of frco and fair flections anil
the ccrrymaudor , IB the keynote of what the
prosltiont says In his letter of acceuiatico ,
now lying in the wtilto bouso waiting to bo
given to the public. The president treats
the question rather briefly , but directly.
Beyond renewing this suggestion ha simply
congratulates the people of the south thnt
they hnvo shown a disposition to tnko bold
of the election question themselves and llnd
a remedy for U. P. S. H.

A book that will create no ilttlo stir among

by R. L. Garner. Wo are ull of us Interested

nnd tlio only reason they remain silent Is
that thov believe if .they were to lot it bo
known they could talk they would bo made
to work.
This work embodies Air. Garner's re
searches up to the present time and bhows
that ho has devoted considerable time and
careful study to this important subject. It
is divided Into two parts , the first being n
roconl of exprlments with monkeys and
other animals , nnd the second part a treatise
on th9 theory of speech. The work Is writ
ten in n charming style und so as to bring
the subject within roach of the casual reader
