TOPEKA ON THE FIGHT.

Local Opinion the Outcome of the
Dallas Contest.
There appears to be quite a diversity
of opinion among the local sporting men
as to the result of the Corbett- FItz5i N
mons mill. but one thing is certain, and
that is the majority hope that Fitzsim-
mons will win tne fight
Ed lyman, who Is perhaps as good au-
thority on the subject of pugilism as any
man in Topeka, said in answer to the
question as to how he thought the fight
would go:
How do think it will go? Why, the
way the odds are. Now, see here, Cor
bett has never been touched, see? He
went against Peter jackson when he
was nothing but a slip of kid and the
odds were two to one in Jackson's favor,
and he fought him for sixty-one rounds
and it was decided a draw, see? Fitz has
gone against lot of suckers. When he
Knocked out Jack Dempsey, Demp-
sey was just like a sickly woman
he was in no shape to fight at
all, see? And neither was Slavin
when Fitz fought him. But, then l
think they could go the world over and
not find man that would come as near
being Corbett's match as Fitzsimmons.
Corbett is probably not as good a man
now as when he knocked out Sullivan,
| but the odds are to 4 in his favor in the
coming fight"
Another local authority said: 81
haven't named the winner in the Cor
bett- Fitzsimmons fight. 1t looks on the
face of it that Corbett should win; he has
a little the best of it in weight, aad ia
probably a little quicker aud more clever
than Fitz, but even though he may ap-
parently have the night easily won from
the start, he's IN danger until Fits is
counted out, for ii Fitzsinmons ever gels
| in his overland blow, Corbett's gone.
Fitz is great ring general and pluckY
| hard fighter, and there is no man in the
world who can hit as hard a blow"

Mr. HENRY CLEWs in his weekly fnan-
cial circular refers to s'the surprising re-
covery that has attended the efforts of
the loan syndicate in shielding US for six
months from those banefui financial and
monetary influences" "Magic achieve
ments" is one of the terms used in refer
ence to the syndicate's work and he re-
minds as that "When the supporting
hand of the great bankers is withdrawn
we shall stand exposed to the identical
conditions from which the negotiations
have so completely protected US" He
reminds US that the government will be
as exposed as before to inability to meet
its gold payments and furnish gold for
exports. "Of course" he says. ''the gov
eminent would have full authority to
make another loan of fifty millions and
there is little doubt that Mr.. Cleveland
would take that resort" AS regards
Mr. Cleveland's action the great banker
is doubtless correct but as to the author
ity for such action large number of the
American people are convinced that it
does not exist He intimates that a rep
etition of borrowing might be attended
with serious consequences, how serious,
depending upon the view of our foreign
creditors. 1t seems that it is always
foreigners sentiments that are to be con-
suited The feelings and wishes of our
own people who support the government
and pay Mr.. Cleveland's salary are of no
consequence. Could anything be more
Illuminating than our position in the eyes
of the world today?

No Country For Chi1ls.

The colonel suggested that take
along package Of quinine in my ride
through the swamp country, as the
towns were far apart and the drug be-
yond the reach Of many settlers. At 9
o'clock in the morning reached cab
in, to find the owner and his wife and
three children sitting out in the sun.
All had blue lips and haggard faces and
all were shivering with a chill. I told
the man I would leave him some qui-
nine, and was about to undo the pack
age when he stopped me with gesture
and said:
Stranger, we ain It chil1in fur shucks,
but thar is them beyand US that ar.
Leave me plug of terbacker and save
yer kee-nine fur wusser cases.
On the doorstep of the next cabin sat
a lone man. He was trying to scrape
the bark off a sassafras root, but he
shook and shivered SO hard that he could
make no progress. told him I had
some quinine as free gift, but he held
up his shaking hands and replied:
Stranger, this hain't no chiIlin to
be cured by kee-nine, but is jist nary
BUSINESS for the want Of a sip of whisky.
You'll find chil1in further down the
road
gave him sip from my flask, and
at the next cabin found woman and
two children on the bed and two more
children on the floor. The woman sat
up in bed and shivered and shook and
clicked her teeth together, and as I ex-
planned the object of my call she replied /:
Powerful kind O yO', stranger, but
thar is them as needs it further on. -
"But haven't you chills and fever?'
"Waa1, sorter, but nuthin to brag Of
I reckon the most that ails me is the
want of snuff. If you'll be so kind as
| to leave me a pinch or two, I'd be

During the days ride of 25 miles I
! pipes several times over, but no qui-

Marion found a man stretched out on
the bed, and tied fast. His hands were
as cold as ice, his lips as blue as if
painted, and his shakes not only shook
the bed but the whole cabin as well.
Tiled he IN on SO he IN couldn t

And still the cause OF the recent
Republican landslide is being dis
canted upon by statesmen. Hol-
man, of Indiana, lays all the blame
upon President Clevelands admins
tration. He says the President
could have prevented the big in
crease in the public debt and the
tendency toward the contraction OF
the money volume; that there is
too high taxation for the money
supply. Says; ''As a matter of
tact, according to French stats
tician, that country's money per
capita is $62, and though her debt
is large, the ratio between the tax
alton and the volume of currency
Is such as to make the taxes least
burdensome. France maintains her
volume of currency without Difficult
ty, composed of gold, silver and pa
per, and she is the best off of all ma.
tions. She never suffers from any
raid upon her gold, There is no de-
feet in our laws which subjected us
to such raid on our gold any more
than France has in hers. and that
we have suffered arises entirely from
the administrative policy, There is
nothing in the law which compels
