WASHINGTON , D. C. , Dec. 27. )
Several of the loading newspapers of the
MSt1 hn'Vo commented upon the BEE'S recent
cdltwbl review of Mr. Blalno's tariff mes
sage. To-day's Baltimore Sun devotes al
most n half column of comment , with the
BK8 , editorial as a basis , and agrees fully
with its deductions. The Sun declares that
the grout northwest is almost solidly for a
reform of the tariff without party distinc
tions , nnd that It must bo remembered that
the Interests of the agriculturalists of the
west and northwest were never Identical
withthose of the protectionists in the cast ;
that candidates having moderate tariff views
have the best chance , whether republicans or
democrat * , ahd the fact that the Minnesota
delegation Is solidly for tariff reform and will
. light ngalnst the protection policy formulated
In the Blalno interview nnd sustained by
Kc'prescntativo Kccd , Of Maine , is signifi
cant.
WHAT TUB HKTUIIItOAt 8 1-nOPOSB.
General Browne , of Indiana , who is one of
the oldest republican members in the house
end it member of the committee on ways nnd
means , is compiling a tariff bill which is in
tended to meet the views of his party. He
proposes to abolish the tobacco tax , thus re
ducing the government's Income about
fc)0UOOXX ) ( ) a year , nnd to place sugar , lumber ,
salt nnd some of the other ncressarles of life ,
Which are not produced In anything like the
quantities to meet the demand on the fiec
list. Ho will also reduce the duty on
the common articles of woolens nnd clothing
generally , and , in brief , meet the demands of
the masses In n general reduction of the
necessaries of life without impairing the
present protection to labor , and the manu
facturing interests. Ho believes that his
measure will receive the general support of
his party and that the republicans should , an
noon as possible , lay before the house their
Jdeas of tariff reform and not wait till the
democrats agree upon a bill which the repub
licans will have to support.
THI : SIT.AKKU nut.r.s TUP. nnoir.
Sp6akcr Carlisle is accused of arbitrarily
controlling the legislation of the houso.
Some of the oldest members in both parties
say that when the speaker is asked to recog
nize a member for the puri > ese of moving u
suspension of the rules for the consideration
of a measure , ho never gives a reply until ho
knows what bill is to be called up. If ho is
opposed to the measure ho refuses to recog-
iiizu the member making the application , nnd
pives as his reason that ho Is opposed to the
will. This is very unusual. Whllo Mr. Han-
ilnll was speaker ho steadily refused , when
asked for recognition under suspension of
the rules , to learn what ineuBuro was to bb
called up by the motion , because ,
ho said , ho did not want to bo
prejudiced one way or the other ;
that it was only n question of available time
nnd the practicability of going out of the reg
ular order. Other speakers have allowed the
Butno course. Under the practice of Speaker
Carlisle it becomes absolutely hnj > osslblo fern
n member to move a suspension of the rules
for the passage of a measure unless the
speaker approves of the proposed legislation.
During the last session the speaker was Im
portuned u number of times by members who
, wanted to move to suspend the rules for the
consideration of various general pension bills
and the Blair educational bill. Mr. Carlisle ,
when told what would coma up under the mo
tions , frankly said that ho opposed the pro-
IK > SOU legislation and for tlmt reason could
not give recognition.

wool clip for 1880 87 , the United States con

ture of the clip Is the decided improvement
in the quality of the fleece over that of the

The audience which assembled at Boyd's
opera house lost night was only 'fulr , pre
sumably on account- the intense cold
weather. At 8:30 : Patsy Fallen advnnced to
the footlights and unnouheod Hint Billy
Thomas , of Monty Brook , PH. , and Larry
Dwyer , of Omnha , Would open tho- ball by
sparring tlirco rounds , which they did , and a
rattling three rounds it was , with odds in
favor of Dwyer in the first and second , while
Thomns got In some effective work on Larry's
bread basxct In the lost.
Prof. Arthur Rothory nhd Prof. Ed Miller
then entertained the audience In a three-
round contest , In which both displayed con
siderable talent. At the wind-up each lot
out a llUlo and gave and took with equal
grace , which action afforded much delight to
the spectators.
Steve Phoebe nnd Billy Nichols , tw6 feath
erweights from Birmingham , England , belted
each other In various portions of their anat
omy for four rounds nnd made mniters de
cidedly lively while they were at it , Nichols
having a little the best of the series , not for
getting to give Phoebe credit for several
center shots on his opjwncnts proboscis.
Billy McNulty , nn nil-round nthlcto from
Philadelphia , then performed the difllcult
font of Jumping in and out of four barrels
placed close together , which evoked much
applause.
Tommy Miller of Omaha , who is matched
against the "Belfast Spider.1 nnd Tommy
Burke , of Wyoming , occupied the attention
of the nudlotico for ten rounds , all of which ,
excepting the lost two , being somewhat unin
teresting. Those , however , were quite lively
nnd from appearances the wcatherin-Burko's
vicinity was somewhat sultry.
George Kendall , champion dumb-bell lifter
of the world , then put up a twenty-flve-pound
dumb-bell 403 times in H minutes and 30 seconds
ends , after which Q. S. Whlttakcr und John
S. Prince , the great bicyclists , gave an exhi
bition on the homo trainer , the former riding
n quarter in 20)f seconds , the latter a mile
in 1:5. : . ,
The exhibition wound up with n contest for
the middleweight championship between Jim
Lindsay and William Hcnnesoy. .Inck Kel-
lett , the winner at the former contest having
had an attack of inflammatory rheumatism ,
was not in condition tocompctoand was com
pelled to relinquish his claim , Lind
say professed to bo very indig
nant und nircd his grievance before
the audience , stating that ho had been
training to meet Kcllett nnd wished to fight
no one else for the medal but him. , When in
formed that Kollott could relinquish nil
claims to the medal If ho wished , , which
would leave the field open so that uny one
coming under the regulations could compete ,
he next nmdo a icqucst that Hcnnesoy bo
weighed , which was done , the now campct-
itor tipping the beam nt 15,1 pounds. When
time v as railed it was evident tlmt ifc was to
bo no ordinary sparring for points , but a
match iu which Christmas gifts wore to bo
given and and taken with equal grace.by both
pugilists. And so it proved. Heiinesey
forced the lighting and drove Jimmy nil
round the ring , hitting him , .several vicious
blows in the first round , while thusoof Lind
say were but light. Hound number two saw
Homo good work on both sides , Hennessey
having the advantage , ut one ttmo knocking
J. L. down , 'llio third was similar to the
first and both men did some clever work ,
Hennesoy hitting nnd .Jimmy jumping oat of
the way when he could. The last three
rounds were tame compared with'the others ,
ov.'ius to the presence of Captain Cormack ,
who insisted that tlisblows should no't exceed
over three and a half pounds each , and
threatened , should his ukase bo disregarded ,
to do the grand wind-up himself and stop the
mill. As the captain outranked any of the
interested parties , the advice was taken , and
with the exception of the latter part of the
last round no heavy blows were struck. At
the conclusion Patsy Fnllon.tho roforco ,
awarded the light to Lindsay , much to the
satisfaction of his friends , nndr vice
versa to those of Hennessey , ' Cer
tain it is , whoever , may be , right
in this instance , Hennesoy js by far the best
man of the two in n square fight , and had. not
Captain Cormack interrupted.the match , .it is
dollars to cents that Lindsay would have
been knocked out , and no one knows it bolter
thun himself , as his actions indicated that
he was ufraiu of his opponent.
The entertainment on tlvo whole was very
good , and 1C rupcatcd , will doubtless bo well
patronised.
A Knockout nt Denver.
DENVEH , Colo. , Dec. 23. [ Special Telegram
to the BCE. ] A party of 160 well-dressed
and equally well-behaved men left the city nt
1:30 : tliis afternoon on a train bound for n
point about twenty miles from Denver and
outside of the county limits for thopurposo
of witnessing a sparring contest for itolnts
between Lawrence Fnrrell , of Denver , and
Samuel Gaundecker , of Pennsylvania. These
parties are all-around athletes and were in
excellent trim. Fnrroll's weight is 180 pounds
nnd that of Gaundecker fifteen pounds 'loss.
The train pulled out from the foot of Nine
teenth street. Hard gloves were used in the
contest. A twenty-four-foot ring was formcp
without much'trouble.
When time was called for the first round
Gaundocker bounded to the center like t
rubber bull , while Fan-ell walked up iu T
composed manner , almost approaching dig
nitv. A few passes at the start nnd then t
a play upon the part of Gaundockor , whicl
resulted in nothing , ended the round.
At the comeneeinont of the second round
Farrell hit his opponent on the nose , oausin
nn appearance of blood.
The third round ended in favor of the little
tlo man , who continued to pound- particulfti
t > pot on Fun-ell's loft side and which seemed
to wind him badly. Farrell in the meantimt
made a target of Gauiidecker's face am
drew more blood from his npso.
When time was called for the fourth round
Farrell had recovered somewhat und canu
up smiling like a sure winner. It was give
nnd-take , considerable short-arm work belnf
done by both men. Gauudcckcr gave evidence
donco of weakening and fought on tlio defensive
fonsivo until the end. At the finish his
upper lip was cut , swollen and bleeding pro
fusely.
The fifth round witnessed some hard blowi
from each side. Gaundecker caught a lid
on the loft eye which made tears roll dowi
his checks in streams.
The ninth and last round ended the fight
Gaundeckor was rather inclined to force tin
fight and seemed bound to do good execution
cution until Fnrroll struck him I
hard lick on the neck , which stag
gered him somewhat. Before hi
could recover Farrel dealt him a terrific blov
on the left eye with his o | en hand. The liel
extended to the temple.which knocked Gaun
decker almost senseless. For a moment th
poor fellow staggered and struggled to keel
on his feet , but almost instantly ho foil bacl
and closed both eyes. He crawled perfectl ,
blinded from the corner where ho had beei
knocked clean across the ring to the feet o
Farrel , begging In the most piteous tone
to bo helped up. Time was called
nnd there being no response from Gaur
decker , the referee decided in favor of Foi
roll. Time , twenty-five minutes.

Simpson Arrives iuv Kansas City and
JE.lalnH HIM Disappearance.
- KANSAS CITT , Mo.f.Djeo. 28. [ Special Tele
gram to the Bun. ] Mr. Alexander Simpson ,
who was at first supposed to have been foully
dealt with somewhere in Georgia while on
his way from Florida to Kansas and was
afterward believed to have deserted his boy
Bonnie , aged nine years , on the train , arrived
in this city to-day and was much disap
pointed not to find the child hero. The
case 6f Bonnie Simpson has been puz
zling the police of 'Cincinnati nnd
other cities for some days. Benulo
was brought to Cincinnati by Messrs. Man
ning Light nnd Charles Bcckwith nnd turned
over to the union depot master in that city.
The child said that hLs father had loft the
train while Mr. Bcckwith was asleep nnd he
did not know what had become of him. Ho
said that his mother lived in Newark , N. J. ,
nnd the Cincinnati police , not hearing from
the father , dec ! dcd to send him there. Mr.
Beckwith told the police that Simpson ,
Light and himself were traveling In
company and that the former
had disappeared. As he did not know what
clso to do with the child , ho turned him over
to the authorities. , A telegram from Mr.
Bcckwith at Lawrence , Knn. , received in
the city to-day , denies that ho was aware
that Simpson was not dead. Ho was Asleep
when the train gassed through Waycross ,
Go. , when the boy says his father left him.
Simpson's ticket would tiavo compelled him
to change there , as ho was bound for Cincin
nati by-way of Josup , Ga. , while Bockwith's
ticket read by way of Albany.
The latter expected to hicct Simpson at At
lanta , but not ilnding him there , turned the
boy over to the policq.on his arrival in Cin
cinnati. Mr. Simpson explained to Secretary
W. O. Huckctt that ho had fallen in with
Beckwith and Light on thd train. As they
were all coming us far as Kansas City to-
KCther , they agreed to travel in company.
Simpson admitted that ho had been drinking ,

Common Sense and Pol I ( lew.
N. Y. Cummrrrtal AilrerUner ( llrp. )
There hns rarely been a time when n
political party received worse counsel
or more of it than is just now given to
the republican partisans who care
merely to win , in part by doctfiuairos
who care only for their abstract theor
ies , and in fttill larger part by those-
who have axes to grind.
The condition of our tariff taxation
hns attracted the attention of both par
ties lor a number of years. It has been
apparent to men Of both parties that the
time was rapidly approaching when
some reform and adjustment of Hy&tom
would bo imperatively required 'by
the exigencies of tv situation from
which there was no escape Kach
party has distinctly pledged itself to
work this reform , and each lias claimed
credit with the people on the strength
of ita assertion that it alone was bin-
coroly disposed to work tlio reform. In
ita platform of 1334 , the republican party
invoked publio condemnation upon its
adversary for having failed to do pro-
ci'noly this thing.
The condemnation was unquestion
ably deserved at that time , and iias un
questionably been dcsrvol : by tlio
course of tlio democratic party in con
gress sli.ce that timo. Now , however ,
the president , who happens to bo a
domocnithan , presented the necessity
of this reform in n message devoted ox-
clusl\oly to that subject , and in a way
which leaves no honest mind tlio
least excubo for cavil. Ho lias not
proposed to al indon the system
under wMoh tlio government has
acted for years , nor lias lie proposed to
nwko alterations in the tariff upon any
academic theory of economics , nor has
ho proposed to inalco such alterations in
antagonism to any interest or in ne
glect of any interest that deserves con
sideration. Ho lias simply presented
pro&oiitcd the facts of our present situa
tion , and has asked congress to deal
with those facts in a practical , roinmon-
sense way. Ho has said ns the great
majority of people are disposed to nay ,
that the tax on whisky and tobacco
should bo left as it is , and that such re
ductions usire made necessary by tlio
continued accumulation of a surplus
should bo made by putting upon tlio
free list those raw materials of
manufacture , tlio freeing of which will
tend to cheapen the common neces
saries of lifo to all the people. Ho has
\1
suggested , further , that- such other re \
ductions as arc necessary in order to
bring the revenues to something lilco
the measure of the government' needs ,
should bo made with care to injure no
interest nnd to minister to the good of
the entire people.
These are proposals so plainly just
necessary , so simple and so sensiblethat
no fault will bo found with them by any
mind which is not warped by personal
interest or by prejudice. They are pro
posals so exactly in harmony with the
declarations and pledges of the repub
lican party that there should have have
been no question whatever of a prompt
and hearty response from the repre
sentatives of that party and a sincere
effort on their part to bring about the
reform upon the lines indicated by the
president , Unfortunately , the throe
classes of bad counsellors to whom wo
have referred , have thrust themselves
upon the party in away which threatens
to mislead it toils own hurt , and which
is more important to tlio embarrass
ment of prcs-nngly necessary legislation
in the public interest. The doclrinarierf ,
who insist upon regarding the tariff aa
it is as a sacred and permanent institu
tion existing without reference to tlio
changing conditions of business and ex
isting sololv for the nako of ministering
to the private advantage of a par
ticular class of individuals , have urged
the leaders of the party to set their faces
sternly against tlio proposed reform
in any shape. The merely purtisail
( lounsellors , whoso solo care is to win in
elections , have advised the party to
> 6i/.o this opportunity for making an
issue with their opponents. They urge
the republican party to adopt a policy
of simple obstruction and to appeal to
the people upon that. To their aid have
come a multitude of counsellors of the
remaining class , namolythoso who have
'
axes to grind , tlioso who would make'of
tlio national government a tool for their
advancement and a refuge for all forms
of monopoly. The trusts , the great cor
porations , and all others wno bcok trio
aid of tlio government for tlio promo
tion of their OM-II schemes , nro anxious
to form a combination with those who
the tariff a thing too sacred oven to bo
revised , and with the mere partisans
who care for nothing but party success.
