Bill Hye Often spoke his witticisms laden with 4he greatest truths. Among the most noticeable, most Nyeish and most apropos is the following: A man may use a wart on the back of his neck for.a collar button; ride on the back coach of a train to save interest on his money until the con- ' doctor comes around; stop his watch at night, ro save the wear and tear; leave his "i" 'and "t" without a dot or cross to save ink; pasture his mother's grave to save corn; but a man of this kind is a gentleman and a scholar 'compared to a fellow who take 4a newspaper, and when it into the win take a newspaper, asked to pay for it, puts post-office and has fused."

How fully these predictions have been verified is shown pj the following statement of the exports of manu facturers in the decades from I860 to 1890 and the years from 1891 to 1896 with the per, cent, of the total ex ports. The statement is furnished by the Washington correspondent of the - New York Journal for that 'paper - ' , ' ' Exports of I Per cent, of manufactures is nothing more nor less than legal Ized plunder. The legislation of this kind which is intended to foster manufactories would in the , long ,run prove ruinous, be cause the prospects of gain In a mar ket practically without foreign com petition would 'stimulate manufac tures to such an extent that the bus iness would in all probability be over? done ana bring disaster- to . many,' whereas if the markets of the world 4n addition to the home marke were opened, the field would be wide . enough to leave little danger of over doing or of one' manufacture getting in the way of another. The home market is very good as far as it goes ; it is tlie , best market in the world because the American people iare liberal buyers and liberal payers, but It is not big enough to consume the products of our various industries and keep them , constantly and profitably employed. When all are at work on full time it does not take tbem long to produce more than is consumed and they soon find themselves with a surplus just as our farmers do in an ordinarily good crop year. Foreign markets are the outlet for this surplus, or should be, as they are of the farmer's products. Tariffs may levy tribute upon the American people for the benefit of the protected industries, and put money in the pockets '.of the .pro jected, but they can never be perma nently prosperous and self-dependent until they branch out and build up a business in other countries,: as they have been doing, for the past .few years especially, and as tbev would continue to do if this . protec tion cry were hushed and they were not encouraged to look to the home market for their, profits.

The continued increase "in the vol- ume of our manufactured exports I from 1860 to the present time shows the ability of our manufacturers to f boM their own against foreign com petition, while the increase for the past few years foreshadows what they might do if it was an open race between them and j their Euro pean competitors, and upon the - same plane tatitf systems, As high tariff both stood as regards transportation, etc. duties interfere to a greater or less; extent with the sale .of our farm products in foreign . wuuuuw, ucususe coey operate aSnu&i, m-. iree exchange ot pro- ducts of this country, so they oper ate more or less against the sale ot our manufactures in those countries tor the same reason.

I tlf one of our manufacturers of agricultural implements, for instance, .WU1U a'P a cargo to any foreign country and could take in exchange , ..a cargo of. some of the manufactures of that country and make a profit oa it by bringing It to this country, isn't it reasonable to suppose that he could dispose of more j of bis manu factures than if he Insisted on cash for them? But the tariff rinti which the foreign manufacturers have to pay either prevent him from making any profit on them "or leave the profit so small as not to make the exchange an object. Thus tfc Hntl.. 1 ! t. ' .... uuiicj wmcn are ostensibly levied to protect him in the home market operate to keep him out of the for eign market which he should be .anxious to reach. j It is the sheerest absurdity to as sert that bur manufacturers need high duties to protect them from for eign competition in the home mar ket when it has been demonstrated that with all the disadvantages un der which (they have labored they the very countries from which it is 'alleged they need protection. The man who is really anxious to foster American manufactories and make them permanently prosperous without doing so by levying heavy tribute upon and burdening Am.,i can consumers should desire to see markets opened in other countries and give the manufacturer the bene. fit of them. It is folly to expect inat rvmerican manufacturers can r....wuv iivipu u. lucjt uc con fixed to the home market or are en- - couraged to depend upon it. If they were to prosper it would be" adls- nonest prosperity, because it would come from a species of taxation that SELF GOVERNMENT. A correspondent' asks our opinion as to the power , of the Legislature (assuming that it has the constitu tional right to appoint Aldermen for a city) to delegate that power tothe? Governor. '. f We do not believe that, the Legis lature has a constitutional right to appoint Aldermen of a city, and therefore we do not , believe it; has the right to delegate that power to the Governor, or any one else, and it has as much right to delegate it to any one else as it has to the Gov ernor. But if -It had the right to ex ercise this power itself, it has not the right to delegate it to another, j it might as well delegate to' the Governor the power to ap point magistrates, sheriffs, county commissioner and even mem bers of the Legislature, for in one case the right of popular govern ment, the right of the people to choose the agents who are to admin ister their Vty, county and State governments one of the fundamen tal constitutional rights is as much invaded as in the others. The whole spirit of our form of gov eratrent is ' against the one man power, and that is all that this dele gating to the Governor the right to appoint representative officers means. Such appointees would not be rep resentatives of the people of the city but of the man who appointed them,, and if a conflict should come be tween the people and this man in any matter of municipal government they would, unless they were made of very superior stuff, stand with him against the people. .Reference to section 2 and 3 of article 1 (declaration of rights) in our State Constitution will show what emphasis was laid 1 upon the right of the people to govern them selves and what -Is therein said ap plies as much to the people of a city r a county as it does to the people of the State at large, for the State is simply a larger community than the city or the county. There is no intimation here of a one man power contingency or of the Legislature to constitute itself an arbitrary and supreme power. - I Some of the best authorities on constitutional law and on constitu tional limitations, and some of the decisions of our courts hold that the right of the people to elect their mu nicipal legislators is as inherent as to elect the members Of their State Legislature, and that they cannot under our form of government be de prived ot this right. If this question go to the courts we predict that the right of the peo ple to govern themselves will be sus- w thin the bounds of reaton to say that there will be an increase in the cost of all woollens of thirty three per cent.- -"The argument that I have applied to woollen goods will apply to ever? other in which there is an increase in the tar- j ff, and this time the Republican, cin't make! any denial of it... Tire evident purpose of the bill is protection. - with uch incidental revenue aa is inseparable from it.- The sound money; Democrats who voted for Mr. McKinley, of whom I am one, are certainly very much taken aback. If the newspaper reports of Mc Kinlev rates have -- been substantially 8Rreed upon" and are ' going to dominate the . tariff bill. . the 'Re publicans themselves and : I have talked to hundred, of . ' them to say nothing of the . reports gathered from newspapers admit that McKin leyism is a mistake, goes too far and never; can be repeated. In voting for Mr. McKinlev we thoaeht we were de nouncing free silver. We were prepared to have a change in .the tariff along moderate line, but the cry of those who looked after their own Individual inter ests seems to have overwhelmed the Ways and Means Committee, and they have lost sight entirely of the millions of consumers throughout the, country and of the hundreds of thousands of Democrats, without whom Mr. McKin lev could not have been elected,". We infer from the conclusion; of this that Mr. Straus and many other Democrats who. helped elect McKin- ley are about sorry they did it. But .they were gudgeons to expect, any thing else. ' Ex President Harrison is being lauded for refusing to write a let ter to -President McKinley in behalf of bis son Russell, who wants the collectorshtp for his district, a $4,000 job, or to sign his petition. But in declining Mr. Harrison , took occasion to remark that he would be very much pleased if Mr.. McKin ley would appoint Russell, which, as we see it, was endorsement enough. German papers accuse England of playing a double game ; inCrete. That would be just like her. , THE CORBETT-FIT2SIMMONS Fl GHT V Biliousness Is caused by torpid liver, which pcerents dlges.

Shortly before 1 o'clock bulletins, statins; the usual preliminaries, began to arrive and were devoured on sight. Before 3 o'clock the sidewalk in front of J. R. Smith's cigar store, where the Star displayed bulletins of the fight, was packed with people, and a room at the Star office, which bad been prepared for this especial purpose and where bulletins of the fight by rounds were also received, was crowded, many veteran sports being present. Corbett's admirers were numbered by scores,-while "Lanky Bob" only bad a few j to champion his cause, yet they were "game" and stuclf. to their favorite faithfully. At 13 o'clock bulletins, de scribing the fight by rounds, began to arrive, and the excitement began to rise. Up to the sixth rouod it was looking pretty sqaally for the Cornish man, and his advocates began to get shakyr while the Corbett men became more pro nounced. The Australian's stock was way below pir, bat when the tenth round was reached his stock arose rapidly, and bis admirers once more commenced to smile and look confident. While the eleventh round was being sent over the wires the operator sending thel message cut it short to announce that Robert Fitzsimmons had just de feated las. J. Corbett in fourteen rounds. The Frzsimmons- men then went perfectly wild, and during the ex citement many hats wtra smashed, bat whit cared these "sports" for bats and the like, for their man had won. Judging from the telegraphic accounts of the fight Fitzsimmons certainly showed his ability as a pugilist, and also h s gameness and power of endurance. Many thought that Fitzsimmons would actentlrelyon the defensivs.while others expressed the opinion that he would taunt Corbett into madness. Both opinion were highly probable, bat "Lan ky Bob" knjsw his own ability, and at once started viciously fighting an opponent sev eral pounds his superior in weight. Many predicted that it would be a short fight, for if it happened to be a battle of any length, to use a trite expression, Fiijziimmous would be "in it." In this respect, too, the Cornishman fooled 'em, and . displayed better power of endur ance than the man who fought, sixty one rounds with Peter Jackson. The fight yesterday was the hard est -battle . that has ..been fought foi many years, with Corbett the winner, o far as the scientific feature of the event went.: - x"'-- As in all battles for the championship, new fighters constantly arise to challenge the winner, and yesterday Tom Sharkey, Joe Goddard, and old John L,, once the greatest fighter of them all, put in a bid to fight the champion. . .

BT Telerrapb to tha MoraiBX Stan i Carson NevC March 17. After two years of doubt and vexations postpone meats, the heavy-weight championship of the world was decided beyond cavil when Robert Fitziimmons sent James J. Corbett helpless to his knees with a left hand blow under the heart after one minute and forty-five seconds in the fourteenth round of their battle in the arena here this afternoon. .The great contest was won in the simplest manner, and the knockout was the result of one unwary move on the part of Corbett. After the first minute ot the, fourteenth round had been spent in a fw h armlets' clinches and counters Fitzsimmons made a fake lead with his right for the jiw. It was a simple ruse but it caught tbe Californian napping. Instead - of keeping bis body inclined forward and throwing back 1 his head just a trifle to allow the blow, which ' was of tin very lightest kind, to slip bv Corbett contemptuously bent his head and chest backward and thus protruded bis abdo men. Fitzsimmons' small eyes flashed, and like lightning he saw and availed himself of his advantage. Drawing back his left he brought it up with terrible force, the fore-arm rigid and at right angle to the upper arm. With tbe full power of his wonderful driving muscles brought into play, the Australian fairly ripped tbe blow no the pit of Corbett's stomach at a point just uader the heart. Corbett was lifted clean eff his feet, and as be pitched forward Frz immons shot bis right up and around, catching Jim on the jiw and accelerating his down-, ward fail. Corbett sank on his left knee and with his outstretched right band grasped the ropes' for support. His left arm worked convulsively up and down, wh le bis face was twitching with an ex pression of the greatest agony. Referee Siler threw up his bands on the call of ten and left the ring. There were some cries of "foul" when the referee declared Corbett out, but they were unheeded by anybody, aathe battle was won fairly and squarely. The defeat nearly drove Corbett wild. When be was able to feel his feet after his seconds had helped him to his corner, he broke away from them and rushed at Fitzsimmons, who bad not left the ring. A scene of dreadful con fusion ensued. ' Tne ring was crowded with an excited mob, but Corbett burst through them and struck - at Fitziim mons. The Australian kept his aims by his sides and with a great deal of gener osity made allowance for Corbett's half-, demented condition. Bob merely dacked anaer tne piow, and when Corbett clinched with him and struck him feeble blow on the ear thechamnioB-oni smiled. It was with great difficulty that Billy Brady and tbe seconds succeeded in quieting Corbeudbwn and getting him back to the dressing room. ; The fight-was clean and speedy. It demonstrated two facts that Corbett is the cleverest boxer-of his weight in the world, and that Fitzsimmons is able to bit him. Tbe California boy smothered the Cornishman with left jabs in the face and right and left body blows. Fitz simmons most effective attack was a semi-fake left swing, followed with a qaick half arm book. The first time be tried it. which was ia the third round, )im threw back his head from the fake, coming forward for a counter when he thought .Fitzsimmons' glove was com fortably past his jaw. Quick as a flash Bob doubled back and barely missed Jim's jaw with the book. Corbett's smile died away for an instant and be took no more chances on countering on that particular form of lead ajterwards. Corbett's version of his own Waterloo did not yary greatly from Fitzsimmons'. "I made a mistake in not keeping away" was tbe way he put it. "Fitzsimmons I knew to be a terrific puncher, bat I never calculated on his being able to reach me. If the sixth ronnd had lasted ten sec onds longer I would have landed him to a certainty. His note, was clogged with blood add bis legs were wobbling. The gong sounded just a I was about to pljg bim with my right and end the battle. He recuperated wonderfully and I staved away from him until I "thought he was abcut ripe for another drubbing at short range. My neglect in not stand ing on when be tapped me on the cheik in the fourteenth round lost me the championship. That heatt punch sim ply choked me up. I could not breath or move for fifteen seconds, and it wjs several minutes before I realized that I had committed a breach of etiquette in trying to follow op my opponent after he put me out. I meant it when I saitT I would be bis friend hereafter. He whipped me fair and square, but I don't think be is the best man yet, and we will have another bo if money can bring bim into the rina."

Fitzsimmons seemed ' to have more power than ever behind his blows. Jim booked bis left on the iaw, but Fitzsim mons .retaliated with a heavy right on the same spot and they clinched. They broke clean.:: Fitzsimmons made a fake lead with his right. . Instead off keeping his body rigid and throwing his head back as was his usual custom-in allowing blows ! of this kind to slip by his 'face, Corbett, under-estimating his opponent's cunning, contemptuously , threw back his head and chest, thus throwing his stomach or ward. The Australian's small j eyes twinkled and with oantber- like speed he drew bscic bis left with the forearm rigid, and ripped it up into tbe pit of Jim's stomach, a little under the heart, Corbett was lifted about a foot off the ground, and as he pitched for ward Fitzsimmons swung bis right on the jaw, and Corbett came heavily down oa his knees. He remained down for Hf teen seconds and Fitzsimmons retired to his corner while Referee Siler slowly announced the fatal seconds. . Reaching the last count he threw up both his bands, and ielt tbe ring. . A scene of indescribable confusion followed. Cries of '''foul" were repeated throughout the arena and the crowd clambered ; through tbe ropes and sur rounded both men.: Of course there was no foal, as Corbett was knocked oat fairly.: and no notice was taaen of tbe clamor. When Jim rose to his feet with difficulty he seemed about to fall prone on his face again, but be steadied him self with a desperate effort, and Charles White and McVey ' came oa either side of him and threw his dressing gown over bis shoulders and supported him until he recovered himself somewhat. When be got his senses back, partially, ne woraea nimseit into a state of hysterical mania. He J broke awavj from his seconds, and rushed at Fitzsimmons, who was standing at the side of the ring opposite his own cor ner. I When Fitzsimmons saw tbe half demented j pugilist coming at him, he dropped his hands by bis side and stood upright. Corbett swung at hTm wildly, and Fitzsimmons, without'' raising his hands, dacked the blow, and , Corbett clinched him, striking with his right nana oacic oi tne ear as ne-id so. The blow was not bard, as, the unfortunate Californian was very weak. Fitzsim mons. took no notice of it. and Billy Brady and others of Corbett's seconds dragged him away from Fitzsimmons. He was pacified and , taken to his dressing-room shortly afterwards. Fitz simmons started a dance of victory when he saw bis opponent down. He waved a little nag above his bead and stepped lightly down the ladder and into the arms of his wife, who sat await ing bim iu a box right behind his chair. Mrs. Fitzsimmons kissed her husband's face, itaking no notice Ot the blood which was trickling freely from bis nose and mouth. Martin Julian beaded the procession to the dressing-room, fol lowed by Fitzsimmons,-with Mrs. Fitz simmons at his side, the crowd cheering the victor heartily. The battle, as predicted, was. fought on purely scientific and. almost new principles. Neither of the men took any advantage of the privileges allowed them under the London prize ring rales, and there was very little hitting in clinches, Corbett made noattemot m bring around his right in breaking away, probably because Fitzsimmons held no Vim 1 W . , , ' , .. . . r u" uuw too oign. jim s only enort lnthe way ofa Dartme shot ws a full Spring has come.
