THE Governor and the courts of Kentucky have
determined to prevent prize fights and boxing
exhibitions on "the dark and bloody ground."
No ring can be staked off in that State and professors
of the manly art must practice it elsewhere, or be
subjected to the severest penalties. The high-minded
virtue manifest in this decision commands wide ap
proval, and it is expected that there will be a large
immigration to Kentucky of those who abhor the
immoralities of ihe prize ring.
Without attempting to make an argument in favor
of prize fighting one is able to declare that in ex
cluding it from her borders Kentucky is refusing
:o take a step forward and begin a needed reform.
Prize fighting may be bad, but it is a vast improve
ment on gun fighting, and to be hammered in the
ring for half of the gate money is much better than
to be shot in the back by a deputy sheriff whose
allegiance to his party in a feud is greater than his
loyalty to the law as a peace officer. Then the man
who is shot in the back is usually shot dead by a
dead shot, and there is no gate money, and frequently
his family is afraid to remove his body and bury
it. .If the coroner is on one side of the feud he is
apt to find that the deceased went hence by apoplexy
or colic and the affair is regarded as being in the
natural Kentucky order of things.
To say that prize fighting is an improvement on
this is merely to prefer being mauled rather .than
murdered. The militia does not have to be called
out at a prize fight, and after it is over nobody
burns the. house of the referee, or the bottle-holder,
2nd the spectators pay their bets in disappointment
but in peace.
Now all this is not saying that prize fighting is a
NO KENTUCKY PRIZE FIGHTS
FOR the purpose of forming in the minds of
young voters correct ideas of the importance
of protection in our industrial system, the
American Protective Tariff League has undertaken
a campaign of education in advance of the Presiden
tial campaign of next year.
It is the' desire of the officers of the League to
obtain the name and address of each voter who is
to cast his first Presidential ballot next year, so that
documents dealing with the tariff issue can be for
warded to them. The work is of considerable im
portance and Republican organizations throughout
the country should cordially co-operate in it.
.In- a circular on the subject the League says: "The
voters who passed through the hard times of Grover
Cleveland and the Wilson free trade tariff learned
their lesson, but the first voters of 1904 certainly
need to have information placed in their hands on
the benefits of the protective policy. A great num
ber of young men do not look upon protection as
of vital interest to themselves and their country.
No time should be lost in placing in the hands of
such young voters a series of protection literature
especially adapted. This feature of campaign work
is generally neglected until the heat of the campaign,
when it is less effective than now."
Persons desiring the literature can obtain it by
addressing the American Protective Tariff League,
135 West Twenty-third street. New York. All who
are willing to co-operate in this programme of polit
ical education should send in the names of first
voters so that the documents can be promptly for
warded.
Word comes from Marseilles, France, that Astron
omer Borelly has just discovered a comet, but the
story seems to lack interest, since the visitor has
only one tail. It was but a few days ago that the
Lick Observatory announced the discovery by it of
a comet with two tails, one tail being 16,000,000
miles long, and at last acounts it was still growing.
These foreigners are slow.

PERSONAL MENTION.
HIS Excellency Wong Kal Kah,
imperial vice commissioner, for
China to the St. Louis Exposi
tion, arrived yesterday morning
on the steamship Hongkong Maru
with his wife. Madam Wong, and
their children— Wong Veng Loong, aged 15
years; Miss Wong Jing Yin, aged 11; Miss
Wong Jing Yug, 8 years of age, and Wonj-
Veng Tsing, aged 5. Sar Foh Kylun, his
Excellency's son-in-law, is also In the
party.
Besides his family his Excellency has
accompanying him as attaches Tong Suh
Yu. Chong Yaw Tong, Li Foh Hung, Yu
Kit Men, and he has also with him thir
teen first-class painters, carpenters and
carvers, whose services in erecting the
royal palace on the exposition grounds he
hopes to utilize without outside Interfer
ence, "for," says his Excellency, "while
Between the other two methods proposed there
ii much difference of opinion. It is true that one of
them proposes a reduction of duties to some extent
on goods imported in American built ships, and to
that extent weakens the protective wall that now
guards all our industries, but still a good many
stanch protectionists support it. Unquestionably
the best measure of the three is that of a subsidy
granted under proper regulations to American ocean
shipping, so as to encourage both our shipbuilding
industries and our ocean going merchant marine.
It is to be hoped these differences of opinion arc !
not going to prevent action on the subject at the
coming session of Congress. The imperative need
of the o time is that of having a merchant marine
equal to the needs of our rapidly expanding industry
and commerce. We have in these years of prosperity
been boasting much of our foreign trade, and yet it
is nothing like what it should be. With the most"
abundant commercial resources in the world, we are
inferior in foreign commerce not only to Great
Britain, but to Germany and France as well.
The Tfrork of the committee of the New York
Board of Trade comes opportunely to revive popular
interest in the subject and to form a sentiment favor
able to action when Congress meets. It can add
hardly anything new to a discussion that has been
so long before the country. The main thing is to
get the supporters of American shipping thoroughly
united so that they can bring at the coming session
an influence sufficient to overcome the resistance of
the lobby that has for so long a time prevented
Congress from enacting the desired legislation de
spite repeated platform pledges made by the na
tional conventions. The discussion, indeed, has be
come somewhat threadbare. Popular interest in the
subject now is directed solely to that of compelling
Congress to act.
AARON VAN'DERBILT, chairman of the
committee appointed by the New York Board
of Trade, to devise ways and means for pro
mpting the American merchant marine, is reported
\o have stated that the committee has under consid
eration three plans. The first is that of authorizing
ship" owners to purchase ships constructed in foreign
countries and to sail them under the American flag;
;{he second is the grant of subsidies either general
or specific, to American built tonnage, and the third
is th£t of granting to merchandise imported in Amer
ican *hips a lower rate of customs duty than is im
posed on goods imported in foreign ships.
Neither of the three plans proposed presents any
novelty to ' the country. Each of them has been
elaborately argued for many years. The plan of free
purchase of ships has long been advocated by free
tra'ders. We could doubtless increase our ocean
carrying tonnage in that way, but at the same time
uc would strike a disastrous blow at our shipbuild
ing industry. Such a policy would do as much, and
perhaps more, harm than good. The principle of
protection as understood in this country includes
protection for all American industries and not for
one at the expense of another. Consequently it is
not likely that the free ship plan of extending our
merchant marine will find favor outside the circle
of extreme free traders.
OUR MERCHANT MARINE.
His Excellency is a Cantonese and his
wife, the daughter of Lee Kee Zer, Is a
native of Shanghai.
On arriving at the wharf the Wong
family held an informal reception. Madam
Wong winning friends instantly through
her gracious manner.
His Excellency first came to the United
States when he was 12 years of age and
remained in care of David Bartlett, a
Scotchman, and his family, then living In
Hartford, Conn. He studied at the gram
mar school in that city, later taking
courses in the high school and subse
quently graduating from Yale, class of '83.
"Then there is to be a courtyard In the
center of the palace and on either side
will be handsomely and richly decorated
rooms. On the outside within the grand
approach to the palace there will be two
miniature lakes, each In the form of a
halfraoon, and an arch of characteristic
design."
Upon the arrival of the steamer It was
boarded by customs officials and all gave
his Excellency a cordial welcome to these
shores. His attendants continuously
stroked into smoothness the distinguish
ing peacock feather, which the winds, re
gardless of etiquette, began to toss and
ruffle. Wong Veng Loon?, his 15-year-old
sen, was particularly anxious that th«
feather should not meet with harm and
stood at the back of his distinguished
parent ready, should the breezes loosen
it from the official cap, to make a grab
for It and save it for its owner.

reception-room to be used exclusively by
his Highness Prince Pu Lun. the Emper
or's nephew. Prince Pu will arrive here
a month in advance of the opening of the
exposition.
"The building," said he, "will be one
which I am sure will please the visitors
to the great exposition, which it gives me
so much pleasure to anticipate. The plans
are in one of my trunks and will be dis
patched at once to St. Louis for the ap
proval of Mr. Francis and, I presume,
the Government architect. The ground,
I understand, ha8 already been appor
tioned off for my country and is close
to the Administration building, which, I
am informed, is to be something very
beautiful and stately. When I reach St.
Louis, which will be in a few days, I may
make modifications in the plans or I may
enlarge on the ideas thus far submitted.
"To give some idea of our building, I
may say that there will be a commodious
Chung Pao Shi, Consul General at this
port, was introduced to his Excellency by
Owyang King, the Consul's secretary,
and after a warm exchange of greetings
and congratulations his Excellency ex
plained the sort of building which it Is
intended shall represent his imperial
master's abode on United States soil.
"I Intend that the skeleton of the build-
Ing shall be built by the American work
men," continued his Excellency, "but the
artistic touches, which are indispensable
in our buildings, must naturally be done
by those who understand the architec
tural and decorative methods of my
land."
I fully appreciate the clever workman
ship of the United States." said, by the
way, In the clearest and purest of Eng
lish, "the workmen here could not do the
carving, nor could they do the painting
and they would fall short in the decora
tive ornamentation required in carrying
out the architecture of the royal palace."
His Excellency did not wish it to be
thought that he did not intend to avail
himself of the skilled laborer of this coun
try, for whom he expressed a strong re
gard, for his Excellency Wong Kal Kan
knows well the capability of the Amer
ican artisan, having received his early
education at Hartford, Conn., and also
having been a student at Yale University
some twenty years ago or more.

SOME time ago Henry Watterson shook a little
ginger into the Democratic brew by suggest
' ing Joseph W. Folk of St. Louis as a Demo
cratic candidate for the Presidency next year. Mr.
Folk is hardly Presidential size, but in that respect
he is no worse off than a good many other aspirants
in his party and has a better local record than any
of them. As a consequence his nomination by the
Courier-Journal was quite a notable event, and it
seems has been taken up in more or less earnest
by his friends.
In presenting him as a candidate, Mr. Watterson
said: "The last 'dark horse' to edge his way, as it
were, into the paddock has still a year before him to
make a record. Neither Mr. Tilden nor Mr. Cleve
land had much more. If the Hon. Joseph *W. Folk
of St. Louis be nominated and elected by the Demo
crats to the Governorship of Missouri, he will
occupy very much the position occupied by Mr. Til
den in 1876. Whether Mr. Folk himself is another
Tilden, or even^approximately up to the Presidential
altitude, is a question we have no means yet of de
ciding. But in the prevailing chaos it is con
ceivable that he may come to be in the running, even
without a nomination and election as Governor of
Missouri. Mr. Folk is to be Tammany's orator the
coming Fourth of July. If he makes a good im
pression, count him thereafter as one at least of the
possibilities. In American, politics nobody can tell
what a year may bring forth."
In that way the boom was started. It appears
to have become so potent' in Missouri that the Dem
ocratic bosses in the State have organized to head
it off. Now there comes a report that if the bosses
triumph, the Folk men will nominate him as an in
dependent candidate and the Republicans will indorse
him. In outlining the programme, Representative
Joy of St. Louis is reported to have stated recently
in Washington:
"It is proposed that the Republicans shall keep
quiet just now, at least until nominations are made
by the bosses who control the Democratic organiza
tion. Then the independent Democrats, those who
condemn the looting by the. St. Louis gang and the
audacious action of the boodlers of the Legislature,
will nominate Circuit Attorney Folk for Governor,
the Republicans will indorse him, and he will \be
elected. The Prohibitionists have several thousand
votes in the State and have already declared in favor
of Mr. Folk. I really believe he will be elected."
Just what would be the effect of putting up Folk
as an independent candidate in Missouri cannot be
judged at this time. It would give him a chance to
make a record run, and if he succeeded would place
him well in front of his other Democratic competi
tors. There is unquestionably a growing need of
such men in office. Folk has shown that the law is
strong enough to bring the most powerful criminals
to justice when its enforcement is in the hands of
a strong and honest man. He has done much as
Circuit Attorney, and as Governor might do much
more and prove himself a man of first T class caliber.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat in commenting
on his boom says:
"The best use the Democratic party can make of
Folk is to nominate him for Governor of Missouri.
If elected, he would clean out one of the most cor
rupt machines that ever cursed any State. His ser
vices as Governor would doubtless advance him to
the Presidential line in the better elements of his
party. Folk is a Tennesseean by birth, born since
the war, and if the South should decide to furnish
the head of the Democratic ticket, he is as good a
man as it could select But next year will not be
Democratic presidentially. Folk for Governor would
be more to the purpose."
With such expressions coming from political op
ponents, it will be seen that Folk's hour of oppor
tunity is at hand. He is in a position that makes
him a figure of national importance, and politicians
will have to take him into account in estimating the
chances of the' next Democratic national convention.
THE FOLK BOOM.
It is with a deep feeling of sorrow that the people
of this country will read that the light which so
long shone in Evangelist Sankey's eyes for the up
lifting and betterment of others has gone out for
ever. It is to be earnestly hoped that the peace and
fortitude that he was the means of bringing to so
many may be his in his affliction.
In this postal matter two issues only appear: Was
the device adopted on its merits? and is its price
reasonable for a patented article? If these are an
swered affirmatively, the loud outcry now made will
be found to have as little reason as had that made
against the Superintendent of the Mint.
Among such facts disclosed is the purchase by
the Government of a device for recording the taking
of mail from street letter boxes. The usual way of
putting in a space in the box a printed schedule
of the time of taking the mail is defective. The print
is /soon defaced and those who desire to reach a
given mail are left ' without information that can
guide them. The new device operates automatically
by the opening and closing of the box, and records
the time of the carrier's next call. Whatever in
creases the convenience of use of the mails by the
public is of importance to the people and the adop
tion of devices to that end is necessary if the postal
service is to keep pace with the times.
This new device was invented in San Francisco,
and postal officers in this city are interested in its
manufacture. They say that it has been made the
subject of international patent right and that sales
have been made to several foreign governments. /If
true, this is an indisputable indorsement ,of its use
fulness; and if well made and sold at a reasonable
price, there is no scandal in the interest held in it
by local postal officers, and they are not amenable
to discipline unless they have violated some regula
tion of the department, of which so far there is no
evidence.
Under these circumstances the haste with which
some newspapers have hurried into head lines to
attack ex-Congressman Loud in the matter must
be taken as a survival of their bitter opposition to
that gentleman in the past, although professing to
be Republican papers. During Mr. Loud's incum
bency of the chairmanship of the House Committee
on Postoftices and Postroads, every invention and
device for facilitating the collection and delivery of
the mails has properly been brought to his attention
and submitted to his judgment. It was his right —
and indeed his duty — to have an opinion as to their
merits, since his committee had to pass upon postaj
appropriations and its judgment was effective in the
matter of postal appropriations. If he approved this
San Francisco invention, his right to do so was
equal to his right to disapprove it. • As it apparently
had merit deserving of its adoption by the Govern
ment, he would certainly have acted short of his
duty if he disapproved it because it came from his
own town. The attacks upon him roar in the head
lines, but have no justification in the text. The
Postmaster and the Superintendent here are not his
appointees, nor as far as appears are any of the gen
tlemen concerned in the collection register device.
There is no point in the ownership of stock in the
concern by postal employes, who have the right to
invest their money where they please.
The case attempted to be made against Mr. Loud
and the Postmaster and Superintendent has an exact
parallel in that of Hon. John Daggett, Superinten
dent of the Mint during the last. Cleveland adminis
tration. Mr. Daggett became the owner of the
Santa Rosalia mine in Mexico and a large number
of the officers and employes of the Mint bought the
stock. Politicians and newspapers of his own party,
unfriendly to Mr. Daggett, attempted to build a great
scandal on the Santa Rosalia mine. The ore was
smelted here and the bullion went to the Mint, and
there was a great outcry and Daggett's removal was
demanded. To this the administration paid no at
tention, as it was not apparent that either law, regu
lations or propriety had been violated. The Santa
Rosalia proved to be a marvelously rich mine and
the Mint employes who bought the stock, and who
were represented as the victims of coercion, only
wished they had been coerced some more.
THE thorough sifting of affairs in the General
Postoffice has so far disclosed alleged corrup
tion in two officers in charge of important divi
sions. It is with no desire to give a partisan tone to
the matter that we say that both of these officers were
Democrats and holdovers from the last administra
tion of that party. They both claim to be innocent
of any offense and that claim must stand in law un
til they are proved guilty.
President Roosevelt and Postmaster General Payne
are pushing the inquiry actively and the indicted offi
cers will soon Dfe faced in court by the testimony
against them, and will meet a vigorous prosecution,
as will any and all others in the department who may
be found liable to legal pursuit. The thoroughness
of the investigation is proven by -its projection into
every branch of the service and all the facts found
are given to the public to receive judgment, be it
of condemnation or approval.
