Gov. Mitchell Says 1t should Be stepped.
Gov. Mitchell of Florida, in his
message to the. Legislature which
convened at 12 o'clock on last Tues
day, has the following to say about
prize fights, matter about which
that state placed itself in very ridic-
ulous position last year, to wit:
s'During the last year a most dis
graceful and brutal fight Of this
Character took place II, the cityiof
Jacksonville, and parties who resort
to this lawless occupation as means
of making living without honest To-
Dor, are boasting that there is no law
in this State to prevent such disgrac e.
full contests. and openly boast that an
other one will be pulled off, at Jack
sonville next September, but, gentle
men, you have it in your power to
prevent this by proper legisla ton.
81 recommend that these prize
fights, or glove contests, be made fel-
onies by statute, with such penalties
attached as will cause thescpuglists to
respect the law-abiding, God-fear ing
people of this state in the pursuit Of
all their rights as citizens.
The law should authorize sheriffs
and those acting in their aid and as
sistance, when they have cause to be-
lieve that prize fight or glove con-
test is about to take place, to entc-
any house enclosure, or anyr
other place wherein they may have
reason to believe such contest is to
to take place, for the purpose of ar
resting those engaged or about to en-
gage therein. Also, that all persons
who may be present at such contest,
in anywise aiding or abetting the
same, by betting thereon, or by be-
ing present threat, shall be deemed
guilty of felony, and upon conviction
be punished the same as the princi-
pals.

twenty years has at last burst forth

The whole region round about

Premier Canovas del Castillo on the
18th. March: Seven thousand
troops will start for Cuba tomorrow
and two thousand will be ready to
follow them. In six months twenty
thousand more Will be ready. Indeed
we are prepared to send one hundred

MAKE TRUTH AGREEABLE,

Selected.
t!Whoever makes truth disagreeable
commits high treason against virtue,
said a good and wise man, and when
the majority Of men and women are
convinced of this fact the world will
have taken 4 long step towards the
millennium. Human nature can be
attracted mReh further than it can
be driven, aud in its natural perver-
sity will absSl Slntely refuse the good
which onessesxs q fo force upon fe So,
the failure to show the beauty Of vir-
tue more than countcracts zeal to
expose the hidcousncss of vice.
Truth is not only Il great virtue in
itslef, but it is the foundation of all
other virtues. Nothing is good that
is not true. and no matter how fair a
seeming falsness may put upon itself,
it is none the less vicious principle.
But human nature is so constituted
that it is attracted by the beautiful
and rep elled by the ugly, and this in
e.stcrs moral as well as matters
physical. 10 repel is not to gain,
net to convert; to take away the
beauty of virtue is to rob her of her
power.
The world may be full of pleasant
and plausible sinners; but, unfort-
unately, it has also its share of dis
agreeable saints, and it is not quite
easy to estimate which class does the
more harm. 10 rouse rcbcllious
feelings, to harden and disgust, is
simply to drive away from virtue, and
when one is driven from the right
there is only one other direction
for him TO take. Many arc actually
more repcllcd from virtue than they
are tempted to vice.
There is II class whose members
pride themselves upon their rigid adj
herence to truth, and in this intlexible
devotion they spare neither man,
woman or chiIl. They dcnounce all
the little amenities ofsocial Intercourse
as falshoods; they brand ordinary So
cial conventions as shams: they call
a reserve upon disagrccablc things,
deceit and an avoidance OF wounding
topics Hypocrisy. They loudly pro-
claim that they are perfectly candid,
and so they are. but their candor is
brutal. There are some truths so

HERE AND THHRn.

The dispute between Mexico and
and Guatemala about boundary line
which came near precipitating serious,
complications some time since, has
been amicably adjusted, honorable,
and with satisfaction to both coutries.
Mr.. Charles J. Foster, a distin-
guished mechanical engineer, who in
stalled the machinery asthe Worlds 3
Fair, has been engaged to do the same
work for the Cotton States and inter
national Exposition. He begins
work at once.
Officials in Washington have been
informed from sources which they
deem entirely reliable that prom
inent Eastern ship building firm has
agreed to furnish the Cuban insur-
gents at an early day with torpedo
boat, or steam launch, for the pnr-
pose of destroying the Spanish war
vessels now cruisingin Cuban waters.
1t is also proposed to equip this craft
with full supply of torpedo tubes
and start her Immediately to the
Cuban shores.
There is possibility of trouble
between England and France growing
out of the disputed right to the valley

England that French fleet mas been

81 hope that Florida mill make an
earnest and united effort to aid the
Atlanta Exposition. 1t shoala be
a landmark in the history of South
crn progress, and every State south
of the Potomac should make common
cause to aid in the great work. Great
has been the advancement of the
Southern States during the last doz-
en- years. You have hardly reached

CAPT. DOUGLAS On THE
"FoRTY" CONVENTION.


Qua reporter met Capt. Douglas
in the Office of the Clerk Of the
Court Monday morning. He was
having some papers fixed and seemed
to be in the biggest kind of hurry
On being asked if he could spare a.
moment or two, he said:
'.Nossir, / haven't time to talk
now. I'm just as busy as ! can be, :
Can rsee YOU latef q, q W
"No sir, leave for my farm in a
few minutes and will be gone until
Sa turday night"
But he was seen anyway.
"What about the convention last
Wednesday,
"Oh yes, the convention. Well
we did the best we could and l believe
it's going to turn out alright. l have
never before seen convention so un-
unanimous on anything as this one was
on peace. The conservatives were
willing to make concessions and acted
fairly and squarely, and QUA people
met them quite half way. The fact
iof tho business is there was not %
mach difference between US anyway,
.Ths nain point that the Reformers
insisssd on was some measured to insure
white supremacy. We believe that
this is white mans government and
that it ought to be ruled by white
men. There was no difference of
opinion however on this point.
"How about the point that was
raised by Mr.. Sligh?'
"Oh that was nothing, Sligh
thought that we were cncroaching
on the powers of the Democratic EX-
ecutive Committee, but that was all
q mistake. We were and are acting
under the Executive Committee. We
are doing a work that the Committee
could not do. Extraordinary diseases
call for extraordinary treatment. Our
work was little out of the ordinary
line but it was none the less in sub
ordination to the regular Democratic
parry"
"What do you think of the inter-
view that Senator Tillman has given
to the public, which seems to be an
attack on the work of the Convention?'
"Well, I'm somewhat surprised at
Mr.. Tillman. saw him only a
short while before the convention and
his expressions to me were almost
identical with the ideas Entertained
by the convention and embodied in
platform adopted by the convention.
| believe he did say something about
the candidates position being. known,
but l told him that the people would
attend to that. Of course they would
insist on knowing mans principles
and what he was going to advocate
before they would vote for him. Mr..
Tillman does not make many mistakes
but l think he has made one this
time. You see our object is to get
the white people together and this
"forty" move was started for that
purpose. We saw Mr.. Tillman and
thought that he was in sympathy
with everything that the convention
was doing, so much so that it was
said on the floor tina; Mr.. Tillman
was in favor Of such and such parts
of the platform as they were under
discussion. So / say Tm surprised
that he should now say anything
against the work of the convention.
He would not 60 into the convention
but lift Columbia just before it COR
vcned."
"Do vou know anything about
the plans for nominations, election
and etc.,"
"No that matter is in the hands
of each county and suppose we will
hear from the committee in due time.
[ haven't time to talk longer. Good
morning"

Oregon Industrial Exposition.

The citizens of Portland have sub.
scribed $4,000 to insure the financial
success of an exposition, and have
selected business men to manage the
enterprise. This movement is purely a
public one and is in no sense private or
money making effort. 1t is solely for the
benefit that may flow from it to take
advantage OF the opportunity it offers to
make display Of products, and to the
country generally by promoting it's growth
and prosperity. Having subscribed the
money necessary to insure its financial
success. the citizens Of Portland conf.
IDENTIFY bespeak the assistance OF the PEG.
pie generally, and particularly Of the
press. TO render it successful in all other
particulars.
The nature Of this enterprise, and the
comparatively small revenue expected
from so low rate Of admission as 25
cents, render it impossible for the COM
mite to devote large sum to advertis.
ing. 1t becomes necessary to ask the
press to give it such assistance as it may
feel disposed, upon the ground that it is
genuine public enterprise and is con-
Quoted for the general welfare. The Elk.

A sound money platform and strong
candidate made good days work for the
Ohio Democracy at Springfield.
The defeat of the free silver faction is
due largely if not chiefly to the personal
efforts of the Hon. Calvin S. Brice. 1t
appears that Senator Brice is not wholly
outside Of the party yet. His brains, at
least, are in it.
The nomination Of the strongest candi-
date who could possibly be put at the
head Of the ticket is due to the courage,
devotion, and loyalty Of the Hon. James
f. Campbell, who waived his personal
inclinations to accept .he post OF difficulty
and of honor.
To understand the full measure of ex-
Governor Campbell's sacrifice it is neces-
sary to remember that he is a statesman
of presidential size in the estimation OF
many of his friends, that this is the year
before a presidential election, and that
