City of Mexico, Oct. 1.-THE asso-
ciated press agent Thursday endeav-
oreu to secure the opinion Of General
Dlaz on the question OF allowing the
prize tight between Corbett and Fitz-
simmons in Mexico, but the president
is IN Seclusion with the members of
his family on account OF the death of
his tather-ln-law. A close friend of
the president, however, said that the
question had already been decided at
consultation with the governor of
Ch!hauhau who had telegraphed for
the presidents opinion. The latter re
piled peremptorily forbidding the
tight to occur on Mexican soil. Over
lures had likewise been unsuccessful
ly made to the government of the
state of Hidalgo. General Diaz is
opposed to the Introduction of prize
lighting here and is extremely firm
IN the matter. This is absolutely al
thentic and disposes of the matter.
San Antonio. Tex, Oct. 4.-CharleS
, Campbell and several other parties
OF this city, among them a Mexican
Official, made a proposition. to Dan
Stuart to get a concession in Mexico
to pull off tie fights there. Stuart
agreed if absolute immunity from in
reference was guaranteed. Gentlemen
Who are very high and of influential
connections in Mexican official life,
yesterday received kilograms au-
bouncing that the states of Chihau-
hau. Co2huila and Tamaulipas have
granted concessions to pull off 4 GEN
eral athletic and Dull fighting exhibit
ton in those states, October 81.
Which, If any of these concessions
will be used, will not be determined
for several days. The concessions
carry with them an absolute guarau-
tee OF non-interference. There is a
bull ring at each place capable of
seating 10000 people.
Dallas, Texas, Oct. 4.-Dan Stuart
has been in consulta ton with rail
road representatives of the Santa Fe
and of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas. The first road named wishes
the fight to take place at Ardmore, |.
l., while the NJ, X. & 7. lis trying
to get it at COlbertS, on it's line a
few miles north Of Denison. The gen.
elal opinion is that the fight is more
likely to take place at ColbertS than
anywhere else. New Laredo, Mexico,
and TeXarkana, Ark, are also can
dldates, but with little prospects of
either getting it. Stuart hardly knows
what he will do before today There
is much bitter feeling here against
Governor CulbersOn. Many usually
conservative citizens openly declare
that he ought to be burned in ettigy.

as well as the Conservative purnaI,
publishes numerous letters untavora-
BILE to the cause of foreign missions,
but there are also many nissives
from those who believe that The mis-
sion must be upheld. We quote
some passages of this extensive cor
respondence:
"Missionary societies have, in gem
eral, insisted that the men whom
they send out should be married.
This regulation indicates a certain
synical estimate of human nature,
hardly in harmony with the lofty aims
of the missionary. 1t is also nistak-
en- in policy, for married man can
not pose as a SAINT among people
whose ideal is celibacy. But the
folly of the rule is seen where children
are made to suffer a martyrdom
which they can not understand. The
parents have looked forward to it
for long, and perhaps regard it as a
glorious contamination of their ca
reer, but the children can see in it
nothing but the bitterness of torture
and of death they feel all the pangs,
and none of the rsptures of martyr
DOM"
"While the religious results have
been small, out of all proportion to
the splendid efforts of our missiona-
ries, the by.products of their labors
have been of real value. Why not
boldly face this fact and send out
schoolmasters--if we have any to
spare-to teach all that we have to
teach other peoples, and to learn in
turn all they have to teach us? This
would be valuable give-and-take,
and involve no bloodshed. In relig-
ious and ethical matters we ought to
practice more Christian humility,
and remember that example is better
than precept, and that the best means
of teaching the 'heathen' the way
they should go is, to go that way our
Selves"
GAS Christian Englishmen we have
right to protest against the sacrifice
of noble lives in such Quixotic crusad-
ing, when within the shadow of our
churches and within sound of cathe-
dral chimes are multitudes of the
lonely and forsaken, the children of
misery and want, whose surroundings
as the late Professor Huxley said,
are infinitely less conducive to the
leading of decent human existence
than the surroundings Of the painted
savages of New Guinea" Literary

POVERTY'S FACTORY: THE
CURSE, CAUSE, AND CURE
OF ABNORMAL WEALTH.
BY Rev. STANLEY L. KREBs, NJ.
A, 1T PIP. Paper, rs cents.
Arena Publishing Company, Cop
ley Square, Boston, Mass.
The author Of this little book holds
in comm On with many eminent think
ers that few rich men, owing to
their abnormal wealth, possess too
much power.
The present deplorable condition
of the poor is attributed to unjust
laws due to the Senate's rule of
courtesy, to an insufficient land tax,
to unfair assessments, to inequitab bic
tariff protection, to unrestrained
stock Initiation of corporations, aud
to the prostitution of legislatures.
In fact, "every one of the immensely
rich men in this country have become
so through special privileges conferr-
ed by legislation positively or mega
lively, or by taking privileges with
impunity in direct violation Of law
Whereas "the prime object of gov
ernment is to promote distributive
justice" And distributive justice is
obtainable through comprehensive
legislation, which will result in COM
prehensive labor-by which is meant
steady work for all. Consequently
our author argues that farmers and
the members of the various trades
and profe ssions as we'll should have
proportionate representation in the
Congress-. Indeed, "industrial and
professional representation would be
a Nemesis to oppressors and the
sword Of the Lord and OF Gideon
to the oppressed"
Difficulties are considered and pro-
nounced superable if only preachers
aud leading laymen all pull together
at the primaries, "not for party, but
for principle" Reformation may
thus be secured and revolution avert
cd. Ii the fate that overwhelmed
Egypt, Babson, and Rome is not to
be the fate Of our Republic, "the
need of the hour is the Chishaniza-
ton of politics and the detruction
of mtre craftsmanship. !
