MEssRs EDlroRs Just at present there
IS very little of importance going on here that IS Of
kind likely to attract the attention OF the public
bus there are nevertheless, changes N progress,
which Il they do not call attention from their appar
ent importance are yet destined TO have a very
great influence on the future destiny OF this State
and through this, on The other states Of Central
America. To some of these We may turn for a little
while. and get a little insight into the destiny Of this
State
The causes that are operating here, and 20 which
have alluded. DO not originate here. they are fOr-
tign This country was but few wears since almost
UknOWn-t vast capacity was Only ruinOred-ouI
since the discovery of California, the anxiety OF the
people 70 find some short route to the land of gold,
has ed many across TINS state I'm thi, and other
WAYS The country has been opened 90 the knowledge
OF the public and the American public have not
been slow 30 take advantage of facilities To De- iound
here for accommodating wealth. Many Amencals are
here already and many more are coming num-
Der have bought estates here. and are entering INTO
the cultivation Of the products OF the country Beside
this the German Emigration Society Is now making
preparations to send a large number OF people IRON
the German States, most OF whom nave Oeen engaged
IN the political movements OF the last TWO or tnfee
years This Society has been endeayoring 10 nego-
tate a grant of land from the Government, out as
vet they have not been successful They are lntend-
ing iu case they succeed, to bring over from hueen

Durng the past winter, rs YOU know, largo num-
bers of returning CahiOmanS have passed through
this safe on their way home. These men almost
without exception, carry home good reports OF the
land. Many of them have expressed the determina-
ton "a return here and some have renamed here ana

land and are preparing 20 cultivate H. TINS large mum
Der of foreigners coming IN contact with the hatiNes

fered for immigration and people flow IN here from
civilized States with the means and appliances OF
civilization the weaker must yield 20 the stronger

the natives of the country would be ultimately exter-

Another cause which, even proSpectlyely, Is exert

reSus-results too, which must have very I'M
