Slavery in Nicaragua.
Managua, Nicaragua, Dec. 17.
(Correspondence of tho Associated
Press.) 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.-

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or Senator Patterson had withdrawn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.
