THE STIID&BD. Friday, July 12, 1889. J as. P. Cook, 1 li. E. Harris, J Editors and Proprietors. THE GREAT FIGHT: WHAT IT SHOWS. It is a sad commentary upon the boasted milization of the nineteenth century, that so brutal an affair as the Sullivan-Kilrain fieht should be al- lowed. It was not only allowed, but attended by immense crowds, and enioved bv them doubtless as no other erent would have been. It almost equals in interest, and to some surpasses in importance, a na tional election, upon which hinge such stupendous destinies. This is shown by the fact that the editiou of the New York World containing an account of the fight lacked only a few copies of being as large as that edition containing the result of the last presidential election. There is many an individual in this coun try who is well acquainted by read ing and hearsay with the two slug- gerg who could not tell you the President of the United States and his Cabinet. This shows a depraved condition anion c our neonle. Their tastes are becoming degraded, and their morals are losing that high tone of which we hare boasted in the past. The very idea of pitting two human be- inga againBt each other just as in barbaric fcpain two bulls are allowed to nght and gore one another. ne fact is tnat in most states mere are Btrmgenc laws against tne two last, mwueuHww!, Governors blow and bluster about it, to occur until it is over with. In the meantime high State and city and county officials attend and cheer the performance. It was even boast ed by the manager of the affair, when it was over, that the sheriff concluded to allow it ero on, as he could not contend with 3,000 men who wished to see it. The New York World, knowing how so choice a bit of sensational news could be enjoyed, went to the trouble of put ting up telegraph wires to tne scene of the contest. Yet the Governor didn't know (?) where it was to be. Government becomes but a traves ty when it has to enforce the laws without the' moral support of the people ; where its efforts to counter act a great evil are rendered futile by the fact that the evil is counten anced, upheld and enjoyed by the people in general.

If you take off another it is not " t" totally used tip. All of which goes to show that if you wish to be rid of a "habit" you must throw it off altogether. We pile up words, words, words !

In offering to the public Parker's Safety Whiflletree, I present an article that is good and durable, and which will be appreciated for the convenience and safety it furnishes all who drive. With the use of this device ranch labor is saved in hooking and unh oking horses besides the safety and assurance it gives against accidents and runaways and smash-ups, as the horse can be released from the ve hicle instantly without the occupants moving out of their seats, and with no more effort than would be employed In lifting a two-pound weight. SOME POINTS of EXCELLENCE It is invaluable in breaking young horses, or horses that are in the habit of running away, or horses that are usually kind and tractable under ordinary eir cumstaneas but nervous and excitable in noisy, crowded thoroughfares. The most timid lady can drive a spirited or dangerous animal without fear of harm. It is strongly made, the best ma terial being used in its construction, and it will cutwear any buggy. It is made interchangeable in all its parts, and can be duplicated at a trifling cost. A horse can be hooked up in less than one-fourth the time employed by the old way. No change to be made in the har ness in using the tree. It is the best thing for the purpose that has ever been invented. It is a saving of time and labor, and in many instances will save life and prop erty. I invite inspection and investiga tion of this tree, and a practical test of all I claim for it.

Mamma "Oh, no, my son." Little Boy" Then I'm glad we've got such a good doctor. Speaking of the doctor, our thoughts, by a very simple and easy transition, turn to the DBUGG-IST The latter is frequently ac cused of charging too much. Like many other popular pre judices this one, as I shall now endeavor to show you, has very little foundation in fact. A man is suddenly, in the dead of night, attacked with hydro phobia, and his son gallops thirteen miles to the nearest drug store for an ounce of bromide of potash. In the hurry and excitement he for gets to bring his pocket-book, and he must either go back without the medicine or the druggist .will have to charge it. Again : William K.
