4 FLEANCIAL FIZZLE.

: Whatever else the big fight down at
Carson may have been, IL was fnan-
ciul failure, and on this account it
possibly will have the effect of pre-
venting a recurrence of the brutal
affair in the near future, for if there is
no money to be made by the managers
of:pugilistice encounters, flights will not
be arranged. When the fight between
Fitzsimmons and Cerbett was ar
ranged to take place at Carson, it was
expe cted by the movers in the matter
that.it would be a perfect gold mine.
and an ampitheater was constructed to
accommodate 900 people. When the
fight was finally pulled off, there were
more vacant than occupied seats in the
big arena, only between 1900 and
1000 people having taken tickets, so
the hopes of Stuart were by no means
realized, and it is quite likely he will
never make another like venture.
With tickets selling at from $50 to
$40 each, the amount OF money taken
in was large, but relatively it was
small, for the expenses have been en-
ormous, and the crowd was a mere
handful in comparison with the throngs
who had been expected. The pro
moter of the fight had expected to see
train after train loaded down with
eporting men, and he had looked for

several thousand from California.
All of these expectations were disap-
pointed. Only about 500 people came
from the East. and all OF California
contributed less than 1000 spectators.
San Francisco bad been counted on for
1000 but sent only 500.
AS the whole miserable fake was
financial -peculation, this a5ject fail
ure to reap the golden harvest which
was counted on ought TO diffuse Il feel
ing of cheerful satisfaction. With
weeks and L:onths of booming; with
the degradation of the metropolitan
newspapers by the surrender of pages
of space every day which were called
news, but were really advertising and
with the abdication of her decency by
| sovereign state of the Union as the
greatest advertisement of all, this beg
carly array of three or four thousand
spectators is miserably small out
| come. But it is reassuring sign. 1t
shows there ara limits to the brutal
instincts of human nature and to the
capacity of the American public for
beging humbugged. The proposition
of the state of Nevada has not been q
gainful transaction.
The fact that Nevada's big boom has
proven financial failure has num-
Der of encouraging features in it. That
people outside of the sporting element
refused to be humbugged is evidence
that pugilism is on the wane, and with
all the efforts OF the metropolitan press
to make it appear that the bruisers
were conspicuous characters, people of
national renown, and that tkeir
counter would be a national event,
having brought out only few thou
sand curious spectators is reassuring
evidence that pugilists from this on
will not occupy very exalted position
in the estimation of the people gener-
ally. This financial failure will bear
good fruits, since few men will be will
ing hereafter to put money up to bring
about such attractions. 1t seems like
the beginning of the end of big prize
fights in America.

TARIFFS AND TRUSTS.

The courts and legislatures seem
equally powerless against trusts.
How would it be to stop favoring them
with tariff laws? 1t seems absurd to
build a trust up with tariffs and then
attack it with the stuffed clubs of in
functions and restraining laws

So tariffs build up trusts. do they?
phatically declared for many years,
and the claim has been as stoutly
denied by the republicans. But now
comes the Oregonan, an avowed friend
of trusts, or at least of monopolies,
which are in effect trusts, and also an
ante-election advocate of protective
tariffs, and admits that trusts are built
up by tariffs, admits just what the
democrats have contended is true.
Then, if trusts are detrimental to the
welfare of the community at large, why
foster them? Why make it possible
for them to exist by euacting policies
that build them up? Why not strike
at the foundation, and knock the prop
upon which they stand, the protective
tariff, from under themF
Again, if trusts are built up by tariffs.
what is the majority in congress under
taking to do at present? Is it not en-
deavoring to enact into law the most
radical tariffs ever known in this or
any other country? Then is it not en-
deavoring to foster and encourage
trusts on a grander scale than has ever
before been known? If tariffs build up
trusts then the present administration
is entering into the trust manufactur-
ing industry with a vengence.

JUST FOR REVENUE.

This common council of Astoria, the
fair city by the sea, purposes to pass
an ordinance licensing gambling
houses. and the excuse therefore is
that it will raise revenue, thing
needed just now by the municipal
government. For the sake of revenue
the city fathers of Astoria propose to
ignore the state statutes, and pass an
ordinance that is strictly at varience
with the state laws. Gambling is not
legalized in this state; it is made an
offense against morality; the bond ex-
ecuted by tippling houseis subject to
forfeiture if gambling is permitted
therein; the. licensing of any kind of a
gambling device is strictly prohibited.
But now comes city council and pur-
poses to enact law licensing gambl-
ing houses in order to create revenue
amounting to some $1,000 year that
has been cut off by the police commits
sioners closing all the gambling games
in 'the city.
This leads one to wonder what NOR
tails will not do for revenue. Men en-
trusted with high official positions will
prostitute themselves for money.
Nations will blind the eyes of justice
and tolerate murder, such as has been
committed in Armenia, rather than
hazard war that would calse the loss
of wealth owned by their subjects.
Woman, the pures. of Gods creation,
has been known to sell her chastity
for money. Churches, that are sup
posed to teach all that is moral and
right, to frown upon everything that
is bad, countenance and even encour-
age gambling in mild" form at fairs
where games of chance are permitted,
simply for the sake of revenue realized
from them. A writer once said
"money is the root of all evil' and in
deed it seems true, when our law
our officials, our women, our
churches appear ready to sacrifice all
else, violate law, do anything just for

thentic details of the outbreak on Sun
day at Toka, Asia Minor, where the
Turks attacked the Armenians',w
the latter were in church, showed that
100 Christians were massacred. The
Armcnians' houses were given over to
pillage.
The representations of the ambasso-
dors of the foreign powers Regarding
the condition of Anatolia have made
little impression upon the sultan. who,
relying upon the support of Russia, is
convinced he has nothing to fear from
the so-called concer, of the powers,
which is continually harped upon, al
though it is believed little or no Con-
cert beyond a desire in some quarters
to postpone war really exists.
Diplomats here are said to be once
more turning their attention to the
conduct of the sultan. 1t is semi-offi-
cially intimated they are again of the
opinion the system of friendly repre-
sentations on the subject of Armenia,
which have hitherto been followed,
must be changed for sterner methods
of dealing with the evils complained
of. The sultan, however, consoles
himself with the belief that he will
survive this new fit of righteous indig-
nation, as he has tidcd over others of a
much more serious character.

FAKES AND FAKIRS.

Indeed the American people enjoy
being bilked. They are ever ready to
take stranger in, to help some poor
adventurer along, and at the same
time be taken in themselves. A ped
dler enters community with stock
of shelf-worn, moth-eaten goods, tells
the credulous American how ruinously
cheap he offers them and succeeds in
making sale often at an advance on
the price asked by local merchant
for the same goods, fresh and new. A
quack doctor may come into city
pretending to cure all ills and will sell
more useless nostrums and cure-alls in
day that a resident drug dealer would
dispose of in year. The list of fakirs
and fakes might be carried on ad in
finitum. They are met with in every
line of business. Merchants, doctors,
and newspapers have to compete with
the fakir while attempting to conduct
legitimate business, and this will con-
tinue as long as the American people
enjoy being bilkad. but the time will
come when the fakir will be relegated
to the rear and then legitimate
business will be appreciated.

WASHINGTON, March 25.-Accord
ing to advices received at the state de-
partment, presumably from General
Lee, there will soon follow big with.
drawal OF Spanish forces from Cuba in
order to satisfy the constant demands
for additional troops for service in the
Philippine islands, where the present
force is said to be inadequate to cope
with the insurrectionists. These ad-
vices say that Weyler has been di-
rected to dispatch 10000 OF his best
soldiers to Spain, whence they will
shortly afterward be transported to the
Spanish possessions in the Philippine
group,
The demand for troops there is said
to have been so incessant that the
cortes has been compelled to weaken
its Cuban forces in order to meet the
demand. There are said to be no
troops at home that can be spared for
duty abroad, and the army in Cuba is
the only source of supply left for it to
draw upon.
General Weyler, according to re-
ports received here, has protested
against The withdrawal of any Part OF
bis force, but orders from the home
are believed to be impera-
i've and must be obeyed.

CHICAGO, March 24.-During the
past "A hours over eight inches of snow
fell in the city, the heaviest fall for the
month of March in the history of the
weather bureau. 1t melted almost as
rapidly as it fell and with the wind
blowing 81 miles an honr, pedestrians
found hard work TO get around The
storm came from Texas, passed over
Kentucky, and then passed to the
Western Ohio valley. Chicago was its
northerly limit.
Here the flood waters broke with de-
moralizing effect. The Desplaines
river is nine feet in depth at Riverside.
Railroad tracks parallel to the Illinois
and Michigan canal are are almost
covered with water. At Bridgeport
the Chicago river rose a foot, due to
the overflow from the Desplaines.
Few parts of illinois, Eastern Iowa
and Southern Wisconsin escaped the
storm. Twelve inches of snow fell at
Rockford and Freeport and IA inches
at Galva. Rock river at Milan is
threatening damage to farms from a
sudden rise. The Mississippi rose
eight inches at Davenport. At this
place the snow storm was one Of the
heaviest on record for March. Over
tx inches of damp snow covers the
ground, and it will add greatly to the
volume OF water in the Mississippi
when it melts.
Milwaukee reports the storm one OF
the worst of the winter. Over six
inches of snow fell and seriously inter
fered with streeG-car traffic. Many
lines had to be abandoned.
At Elktop, Wis, trains were block
AIDED by blizzard of snow and wind.
Dams on the Croix river are being
washed oat and lumbermen fear great
damage.
Alton fears a serious flood, the Mis-
sissippi there being 10 feet above low
water mark. Riverside, Summit,
Lyons and other small towns and vii
lagos west of Chicago on the bank of
the river. Many of the residents of
these places are unable to leave their
homes except in rowboats or on RATS.
Notwithstanding the heavy overflow,
It is not thought the losses in the
will be very heavy, as many |
residents had prepared for the flood.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, March 25.-The
change in the policy of Great Britain
forshadowed in these dispatches yes
terday has assumed definite shape. The
recent massacre of Armeniaus at To-

in semi-oficially pointing out to the
Turkish press and provincial officers
that the blockade of Crete by the
fleets of the powers and the support
given Turkish forces by foreign fleets
was triumph for the policy of the
sultan, have had the effect of showing
that Christians of Armenia are in dan
ger of determination.
Consequently. it is semi-officially
stated here the British admiral in Gre
tan waters has been notified not to
send any OF ths warships Of Great
