...either the correspondent must translate his "saving" by "miserliness" or else convict himself of ignorance. But his most absurd remark of all is: "Christ himself was not prudent." Let me recommend to the writer Mr. Mill's masterly answer to the charge of "Expediency" brought against his "Utilitarianism." Is far-sightedness any the less sight than near-sightedness? If you mean by "prudence" near-sightedness, then we do not claim for it the meaning of far-sightedness, nor indeed do we desire to have anything to do with it.

Those who have once become mugwumps never go back, and in 1888 it will be far easier to break party affiliations than ever before.

...worked for Dame's wind and tried to swing rights on his jaw. Dame countered well with his left and ducked scientifically. His left hand leads were also good. Grew's right hand swings were not as effective as they should have been, because he landed them too far back on his opponent's head. Dame has not had much experience and uses comparatively few blows. Those few he uses very well, however, and he is sure to make a good sparrer. The bout and the feather-weight championship were awarded to Grew...
