secret knew that Ryan was Jimmy Smith,
of Denver. a noted scicnced pugilist. The

They had been quietly matched by sport
ing men of Tacoma and spokane. A
railrrad official acted as referee.

ON the Jaw and loored him. and to all

smashing right handler on the left side oi

nine seconds were called. when he slowly
came to his feet to be again sent spinning
to the ground against the ropes. When

groguy. As round after rOunk was fought

ally Decided Upon.

WASHINGTON. ID. c.. March l7.-With
the exception Of one section. the Worlds
Fair bill is ready to report to the house.
This section, however, is not in fair way
to be disposed of easily. 1t concerns the
financial plan on which the fair is TO be
conducted. and it caused a long contro-
yeIsy at the meeting of the committee ON
Saturday. This morning the committee
members present were, Chairman Can
dler and McsSrs. Hit and Springer OF
Illinois. Beden and Flower of New York.
and Hatch of Missouri. The troublesome
section was taken up but ii soon became
obvious the committee could come TO no
agreement ON ii and 1t was then
passed over the present. The eighth Sec
ton, which provides for the time OF hold
ing the fair leaving blank the dates, was
ulsO the cause of some discussion. Can
dler offered an amendment. providing
that the quadrennial Centennial Celebra-
tion be held ON October l2th, 1892, and the
fair the following pear. Messrs, Hit and
Springer, ChicagO's representatives, de-
clined to vote ON this amendment and II
was voted down. Belden. Hatch and
Flower. in the negative, and Gambler in
the Affirmative. Another amendment tix-
ing the time of holding the fair from
April 30th TO October Goth, 1892, was Of
fered and carried. An adjournment was
taken without action ON the fifth section.

The bug under the chip is most
manifest In the following from lead
ing democratic daily OF this state.
The Waco Day, which never beats
about the bush, had come out flat-fooJ-
cd for negro disfran chisement as the
best means of dealing with the ques-
ton. The Houston Post quotes the
Day and then demurs to its position,
saying:
"The Day gives no reason for the
faith that is in it-there is no reason
upon which to ground such belief.
True a majority of the negroes vote
the republican ticket, cast their
ballots against the best interest of
the section In which they live, but de-
spite this the south is democratic
and there is no political reason
why the whites should urge the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the blacks, TO
take away the ballot from the blacks
would mean reduction of southern
represen tation in congress and the
surrender of the government to the
enemies of the south, 80 there is prac-
tically nothing to gain and much to
loose by such COURSE"
That is just the size of it. The col
ored population give the democratic
party its representation in congress,
and the long headed ones do not pro-
pose to surrender that advantage.
So long as they can defraud the col
ored man of his ballot and represent
him by virtue of his stolen ballot in
congress, so long will the exodus of
the negro and his disfranchisement
be argued against on the plea Of the
deep interest which the southern
democrat takes in his cOIOred brother.
The scheme is perfectly transparent
but it works the rabbit tCot on the
republican party.
