A terrible state of affairs pre vails In the labor market here, and the system of selling labor has re duced very large numbers of men, women and children to a stato of slavery. Owners of coffee estates re cently held a meeting, with the object of influencing the government of Ni caragua to establish In Cuba a labor agency to Induce Cuban laborers to migrate to Nicaragua. Men and women hero are now endeavoring by every possible means, excepting an armed revolution, to escape from the servitude incident to the sale of their labor, authorized by the constitution of Nicaragua and enforced as vigor ously as possible by the military power, until tho money for goods ad vanced to them and interest thereon, and heavy fines for delinquency, have been paid In full by labor, utlow rates. This year's crop of coireo in Nicaragua is estimated at about 80 per cent of a full crop. The deficiency has been caused by insufficient rains during the year. The twigs on which the coffee crop of 1807 la to bo borne are from drought so small and short as not to bo able to yield a full crop in many estates in Nicaragua next year. A number of pcrbons In Nicaragua, especially in the eastern portion, are making preparations to cultivate sugar cane Instead of coffee, as hereto fore. OVOWOHXu4.- utu- ilollt jiiSr3 (futut - V In the corridors at tho state Capitol It was loarncd today, that, up to date, there Is no organized opposition, and Senator Mitchell is in charge of his own campaign, and It Is a noticeable fact, that while there Is not a particle of enthusiasm for him among the peo ple, not one of Jie old party leaders is actively for him, and nearly all are quietly or actively candidates against Mm. If Mitchell cannot go In on tho first ballot, he ran never bo elected. The dark horse act can hardly be re peated at this session. If anyone Is elected It will be a man of pronounced views. After the last session, Senator Si mon wiw asked If he thought Dolph would ever bo a candidate again. He said he never knew a man once a can didate for senator, but what he was always a candidate. As Mr. Simon was a candidate two ycars"ago he will be again, IHiisown word can be taken. Senator Johnson or Linn County was atSalum Saturday jind declared that, outside the columns of the Or egonlan It is not known that either he or Senator Patterson had withdrawn from the race for president of tho sen ate. If Johnson and Patterson unlto forces they will make Simon "hunt his hole." It w 111 be a very close race. Senator Patterson of Marlon county made as gbod a record for economy as any mombor of the senate and as for the wclfate of tho Republican party in Oregon, his election, or Johnson's, would, It Is believed, strengthen tho party with the pcoplo far more than Simon's. STATE PRESS OPINIONS. The Pendleton Trlbuno hopes tho next legislature .will havo more men who will wear a muzzle. The Grants Pass Courier don't want the next senator from Oregon to be a "black-horse nonentity." Tho Pendleton Tribune, a frantic up-country echo of tho Orcgonian, wants a legislature caucus on every thing. The Stato press seems to bo of tho opinion that tho legislature should reduce the legal rate of interest in Oregon. , Tho Yamhill Independent thinks H. B. Miller didn't get the soft snap ho expected when ho became presi dent of the Agricultural college. The Orcgonian press commends in the highest manner .Mio gift of Gov ernor Pcnnoyer of $1250 to the poor of that city. The Roseburg Plaindcaler says Si mon and Riddle will -preside over the two houses of tho legislature unless other candidates for speaker combine against them. The Pendleton Orcgonian conveys the impression, in editorial utteran ces, that thoso who voted for Bryan and free silver aro moro likely to de velop criminal Instincts than thoso who voted for McKinley und the gold standard.
