tho borough limits of Nauticoko on
last Friday, between Tom Slavin, of
Wauamie, and a man named Cava
natigli. A defiant challenge was
made by Slavin and Cavanaugh ac
cepted. There were twenty-two rounds
fought, Slavin being knocked down
twenty one times. When time was
called for the twenty-third round Sla
vin lay prostrate on tho ground bleed
ing from his wounds, and ho failed to
corao to time. His second immediately
threw up tho sponge, and Cavanaugh
was declared tho winner. Slavin's face
was horribly mangled and for a time
it was thouglit ho would not recover.
Cavanaugh was not in a much better
condition, being terribly cut and bruis

among tho I.t:sh in tho coal regions.
Already talk is heard of train

arrests were made.
Tho 19th of tlio present month will
mark the centennial of an event whoso
importance in the history of tlio coun
try is, perhaps, equal m importance to
tho -1th of July, 177C. It was on this
day that tlio (Joutiuental army was m
formed by General Washington of tho
ratification of tho treaty of peace, and
tho acknowledgment by great Hritain
of tho independence ot tno American
states. Tho two events aro complement
ary; the ono marking tho period when
tho great design was determined upon,
tho other its successful accomplishment.
It was tor some time questioned winch
of tho two dates was the moro proper
trom which to data tlio existence ot the
United States as an independent com
monwcalth. Of course, patriotic en
tiiusiasm naturallv led tho colonists to
iusist upon tho earlier date. Certainly,

THE NEW JAIL.
Somo of our exchanges aro publish
ins au item to tho effect that the Col
umbia county iail has been abandoned
by tho commissioners,and the prisoners
removed to tho old jail. There is no
foundation for such a report, The now
jail is not abandoned, and is not likely
to be. Tho commissioners have uo
moro authority to direct the sheriff to
move with his prisoners to tlio old build
intr than they have to direct tho Judges
to hold court in the Opera House. Col
umbia county has but ono iail. When
prisoners aro bound over to court, thov
aro to bo kept in tlio county jail, unless
bail is iurmshed. W hen they aro sen
tenccd by the court, to undergo impris
onment in tho county jail neither tho
sheriff nor commissioners have tho pow
er to lock them up somewhere else, no
matter what tho expenso of keeping
them may be.
As to whether the location of tho
new jail was a proper ono or not,
quite another thing. At the timo of
selecting tho site tho Coi.umman oppos
ed it vigorously, and urged that tho
site of tho old jail bo selected for tho
new. In tho issue ot April 20th 1877
it said: "We earnestly condemn the
abandonment ot tho present ground
which is admirably adapted for prison
purposes, and it seems to us that if it
did not already belong to the county
every effort would have been mado to
secure it. In the issue ot July 2011
1877, after tho Waller lot had been
contracted for by Messrs. Heiner and
Sands, two of tho commissioners, tlio
Columbian said: "When it is tho univer
sally expressed desiro of tho people of
tho county to have tho new jail erected
on the old site, wo cannot understand
tho persistency with which tlio majority
of tho commissioners cling to the idea
of nutting it somewhere else. Hut they
did cling to it, and put tlio building in a
swamp. It is there, and tlio only thing
to do now, is to make tlio best ot it
Tho jail was taken off tho hands of tho
contractois and is tho property ot th
county, and if it needs repairs and
drainage, the only thing that can bo
done is to spend enough money on it to
make it suitable tor tlio purposo lor
which it was erected. It would cost ns
much to jut tho old jail in proper con
union tor a prison, as it would remnr
to mako the necessary improvements in
tlio now. it drainage cannot uo mad
otherwise, tho services of a competent
survoyor nhould bo obtained to nscer
tain and report tlio best uud cheapest
manner in which tlio premises uau bo
drained. It certainly would not be
ecouomy to abandon property that cost
tho county nearly sixty thousand doi
la iv, if a comparatively small biijn will
make it what it Bhould be. Tho evident
desire of the commissioners to econo
iiii.j in the cost of keeping prisoners is
commendable, but they have no powe
to abandon tlio county jail, unless the
pjuple shall so decide in the prnpe
manner.

After n time some kind but shrewd
friend bundled him off to Indiana with

which timo less ha been henrd of him.
Ah a result his chances have greatly

Disgraced Leadership.
Senator Cooper has so long cracked
tho party whip in tlio chamber in which
ho occupies a seat, and Haunted tho black
flag in tho facts of honest legislators at
tho dictation ot gigantic corporations
and grinding monopolies, that it ap
pears impossible for him to realize that
ho is no longer tho leader whoso name
alono is sufiicient to bring victory to
any causo ho may espouse. For a quar
ter of a century tho great state of Penn
sylvania has been bound hand and foot
through its legislature that was owned
by the great -corporations. The wrongs
suffered by the people found oxpression
in tho 17th artiolo of tho constitution
ot 1873. Tho Republican party, which
had controlled tlio government for fif
teen years prior to its adoption, has
continued in tho ascendency since. Hy
its reckless subserviency to corporate
power and monopoly, under tho leader
ship of Cameron, Quay and Cooper,
however, it has lost its intlucnco both
in tlio executive and legislative brandi
es ot the stato government.
A Democratic Governor and assem
bly and a senato controlled by Demo
crats and honest Republicans who re
fuse to acknowledge fealty to any pow
er except tho honestly expressed will of
the people is tho answer to this state of
uttairs. Hie recent discussion on the
free pipe and free pass bills has demon
strated that the stalwart cry of reform
is but a hollow sound to deceive the
people. So long as tho stalwart leader
ship remains unchanged, there can bo
no harmony in the party and while
Stewart, Lee, Emery, MoFarlane, Ag.
new and Longcncckcr remain within
tho lines peace will only be at tho price
ot stalwart surrender. The dictatorial
manner of tho leadership lias compelled
aspiring Republicans to lay aside their
manhood, integrity and devotion to
principle or sacrifice all hopes of ad
vancement.
Through theso stalwart leaders and
because of their power monopoliesjiave,
during all thoso years, taunted tho peo
ple and trilled with tlio constitution.
Two years ago Senators Stowart, Lee,
Hall and others led the forlorn hope of
reform on tho floor of tho senate to re
ceive contumely as their reward. Thoy
carried their causo to tlio people and
appealing to that tribunal, which al
ways means right, they triumphed, The
faithless party and its corrupt leader
ship was' rebuked. Hut their power had
been ho long continued and so insolent
that tho discredited leaders refused to
read aright tho signs of tlio times,
Through their leaders, once powerful,
but now weak, these monopolies again
opposed, as thoy had previously done,
nny free pine bill. Tho result is a bill
that may bo too severe, the provisions
of which may cripple other concerns
than tlio offending corporation. In this
there is a lesson tor tho corporations.
In arraying themselves against the evi
dent will of tho people thoy endanger
interests that aro otherwise secuie. lno
people must bo obeyed. Thoy aro slow
to wrath but teriiblo in vengeance. Let
all coiporato interests recognize tho
laws ot the stato and accept those pro
visions of the constitution which aro de
signed for the people's safety. Reason
able legislation to enforce its provisions,
resisted for selfish ends, provokes radi
cal measures. Let it be understood that
corporations and politics must bo man
aged under tho same code of morals '.hat
makes a man successful socially or in
business or that failure to meet those
conditions will entail defeat. J'atriot.

Somo Young Men.
Thero nro somo young men lu every
community whoso whole lives nro a
miserable reflection on tho idea of man
hood. Thoy nio alt endowed with some
abilities and in instances ntu more
than ordinarily intelligent, yet from tho
llinu tho portals of Independent living
opened to them, they have chosen to
wnlk in sinuous anil forbidden paths.
Thu abandonment of parental restraint,
the rending of objcetionnhlo literature,
the companionship ot older men, them
selves hardened by excesses, and other
agencies equally bad, operated to plant
thu seeds that havo now developed into
the full poisonous growth, until their
solo nmbition is to bo considered "fast"
and to bo "fast."
Tho commonest type of this class is lie
who lounges in the hotel lobbies with
tho air of a roue. Or he stands on tho
curb stones and insults decent people
with his loud tnlk and bad odor, or lo
cates himself nlong prominent streets
and shocks modest women and girls
witli his piratical glances, llo is feared
by mothers, detested by fathers, icgard-
ed witli suspicion by his employer, if
lie is so fortunate as to have one, and
robs his parents of all joy in life. He
affords but one moment of pleasure to
his fiieuds nnd the general public in tlio
whole couise of his life after coming to
manhood's estate, and that is when ho
dies without having committed any seri
ous violation of thu law of the land.
That there aro many of theso is true.
Tliey nro to bo met in every walk of
life and every level of society. They
nro always vulgar and repulsive. They
know nothing of the exquisite pleasure
of doing a generous deed. They know
but little of the amenities of life, their
sensibilities having been petrified at an
early stngo of their career. They aro
reckless, heartlecs, conscienceless, and
for tho sake of the boys who are rapid
ly coming on to bo men, and thu girls
who never know how bad a man can
be, somo measures should bo taken
looking to their loforinution. Patriot.
A Flock of Tifty Eagles
so.MUTiiiNd that may uvusi: Till! ruz-
Zl.lll) NATTUAI.ISr TO KNIT 1IIS I1I10WS.
A llock of eagle 4 is belioved to bo a
raro thing, but that is just what Nick
Mahoi-, ex Sheriff of Dakota county,
and ft L Ward, of this cily, saw late
ly. Those two goiillouiun were return
ing from Jackson to Sioux city, com
ing by the island road. When about
four miles out from Covington, in Col
onel Ori's timber in Hrusliy bend, they
saw on the trees ahead of them what
thev at first supposed was a llock of
turkeys.Coming tieaur thoy saw that
the birds were not turkeys but eagles,
bald eagles, too. As thoy came closo
most of them flew off toward the north
and were hid by the timber. Hut s'x
remained. Among these six was ono
which looked like Old Abe, tho Wis
consin war eagle. This one craned his
ireck as tho two men passed directly
under thu tree where ho sat. The men
halloed, but neither this white-headed
veteran or any of tlio six flow off. Mr.
Vard says theie wire fully 50 eagles in
this flock, Tneir plumage was not all
alike, somo being gray headed and
others with while heads. Both gentle
men aro confident about tlio identity of
the birds. They weienot fish hawks
nor buzzards, but bald eagles, that they
saw. It is possible that theso bald ea
gles had been south to winter and so
happened to eoinu back in a body.
The bald eaglo is not entirely the
noble bird that ho is pictured by tho
poets. Truth compels- tho statement
that he is by birth ami practice a thief,
and his principal souiee of support the
fish-hawk, which bird lie rob remorse
lessly. He will catch rabbits and other
small game when ho cannot find a fish
hawk to rob, and when on thu tramp
and hard up will eat carrion. The bald
eagle, it may bo mentioned in this con
nection, is the bird of our country.
