DIXON the Fayorite

New YORK, March 81. = George
Dixon, the famous colored fighter and
once. the worlds champion feather
weight. is the favorite in what local
betting there is on the result of his
contest. tonight with Tommy White of
Chicago. Nevertheless, should the
clever Chicagoan knock out the colored
boy the result would not be as surpris-
ing as might be expected Dixon is not
regarded as the fighter he was several
years ago. He has lived fast and at
the same time has outfought himself
in engaging in more battles than Sulli-
van did in his prime, and as a result.
according to the pugilistic experts, he
is iileely to go down at any time before
a GOOD man.

New York, March 31.-A despatch
to the World, from St. Thomas, says:
"From San Juan, Porto Rico, comes
word that the entire autonomist min
istry has resigned with the exception Of
two members. Military authority pre-
walls in the island, but is more rigid
thanusual, because of threatened au-
tonomist rioting in San Juan. The
failure of autonomy in Porto Rico has
not been the fault of the Sagasta min
istry, but is due entirely to the greed of
the colonial government and military"

THE POLITICAL EVILS OF TODAY.
A Correspondent Points out Some of
These Latter Day Evils.

present party ties are held to be less
binding than they have been for
many years. A party and its poll
cies are, after all, controlled by a
few men. If these are honest we
have government for the people,
but II they are not honest we have
a government for the bondholders.
These two forms of government
are not at all alike; the former will
perpetuate, the latter will destroy a
republic.
In late years the influence of
wealth in debating legislative meas
ures and government policies is be-
coming more and more apparent.
Cleveland disrupted his party in do
ing the bidding of the money pow
er, which made enormous profits
out of the government on a bond
deal.
Today all the trusts. all the mo-
nopolies, and every agency that Is
bleeding the country has
taken refuge under the wing of
the republican party, because they
fear the democratic party. which
has kicked them out. To them a
party is means to an end, and that
end is to get rich at everybody's
expense, right or wrong. These
trusts and corporations put
up the money to elect to the legis-
lature their kind of people, or fail
ing i'll that they buy up enough
men to pass certain laws, and mon
ey will elect the senator under our
present form of legislative elections.
What the people want is the direct
vote upon all elective Offices. Then
and not till the people have the
election of the senator by their di-
rect vote will such disgraceful
scenes occur as made every honest
man in the great state of Oregon
blush for very shame at the late
senatorial contest at Salem. We
want no party leaders who worship
the golden calf. 1t is noticeable
that every rascal is always an ex.
treme partisan and hollows patriot
ism and party loyalty so that you
cannot hit him without breaking
plate gless. The lobbyist apostles
of Doodle are all extreme partisans,
and when anyone exposes their
schemes, they wrap themselves in
in the flag aud cry that some one is
attacking the republican party.
When they elect themselves to Of
fee by main force of money they
say that it was a divine act of Prov
idence.
The power of money in this coun-
try is wonderful. 1t retains news
papers, it directs the great news
distributing agency and telegraphs,
it elects men to the senate, it man
ipulates state and national conven-
tions. Men worth millions are liv-
ing in luxurious ease, moulding the
laws Of their state to their own ad-
vantage. surrounded by impover-
ished and destitute, their accumu-
lations, with rare exceptions, the
fraudulently enforced exactions of
tribute from the labor and toll of
the INDUSTRIOUS. In the city OF New
York, claiming to number more
millionaires than in the balance of
the country, statistics show that
50, 1000 children of school age are
deprived of educational advantages
for want of sufficient school build
ings, and to some extent, the same
will apply to nearly other large
cities.
1t is claimed that history repeats
itself. This is true enough to at
least make it worth while for us to

Government Authorities Charged
With Criminal Negligence In
Treatment Of Sick.
From the Little Rock Democrat of Saturday,

From the Little kock Democrat OF Saturday
Adjutant General Neill and Surgeon
General J NJ. Keller, of the Arkansas
State Militia, returned yesterday from
tour of inspection of hospital accom-
modations at Camp Thomas, and do
not make favorable report. The in
spection was made by command of
Governor Jones. Adjutant General
Neill says:
DIR. Keller was treated with every
courtesy by General Breckenridge. who
gave him full permission to visit all
the camps and hospitals, directing one
of his aides to accompany him to Col.
Hoff, chief medical officer, for an en-
dorsement of the order. Col. Hoff dis
regarded DR.. Keller wishes to make a
thorough inspection of everything in
cluding the water supply and endorsed
only his permission to inspect the two
Arkansas regiments. General Breck-
inridge sent the order back for correc-
ton, which Col. Hoff had to make
We inspected both regiments and the
Division and Letter hospitals. The
Division hospital has not sufficient
tents to accommodate the men. There
were about 500 patients in this hospital
when we were there, being sick with
fever and measles. At least 200 of
them were lying under the tent flies,
exposed to rain and heat, having
practically no protection from the
elements. The measles ward consists Of
nothing but flies, and here 1877 men in
various stages of the malady were
huddled together. 1t is just one long
row of canvas with rows Of cots on each
side of the tents, the feet toward the
two foot aisles, and barely enough
room between for the attendants TO
pass, and in many instances the cots
were showed mp together. Most of
them were wearing the same clothes
they had when they were received
from one day to two weeks before.
There were only three attendants for
this ward. they with all others being
Of no account. irresponsible, mean and
tough, the slum of every regiment.
The surgeons say they have done their
best with facilities at hand and blame
the government at Washington. Re
quisitions for tentsge and supplies have
been ignored. That hospital would
make well man sick. If it had not
been for the Red Cross and National
Relief Association, there were several
weeks when hundreds would have died
for something to eat and for want OF
ice. The government furnishes nothing
to the patient but army rations, and AL
milk and other necessities for fever pa
tients is supplied by the Red Cross and
and contributions by the officers.
Scores would otherwise die through
criminal negligence and for lack of
shelter, food and attendance. Condi
tions ara better than they were but the
situation is still very bad and the neces-
sity for relief urgent. The Arkansas
bows appear to be in much better condi
ton than those of any other state, ow,
