| TIE TROUBLES IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
To say that Geographic news is apt to be
"mxed," is faint praise. The palm of con-
fusion, however, is to be given to the occasional
| items which we receive ria the West Indies,
from Central and South America, countries in
which, from contiguity, If for no other reason,
we have a positive interest. An "unpleas-
"antness lately arose between the Republics
of Honduras and San Salvador. The result
was, that, with the aid of Honduras, a revolu-
tionary party in San Salvador has been
able to oycrturn the Government of Senior
Dueias, who, disregarding the Constitution Of
the Republic. undertook to hold the Office of
President beyond two terms. and who in
other ways made himself obnoxious to his
people and his neighbors.
Some years ago, aided by the rcactionary
party of Guatemala, Dueiias was able to over
turn the Government Of Gen. Barrios. After
short residence in the United States, Gen.
Barri0s. undertaking to regain his position,
embarked at Panama in chartered vessel,
but was driven ashore on the coast Of Mica
ragua by stress of weather, and there arrested
by the then President of that lively Republic,
Gen. Martinez, and handed over to the tender
mercies of Senior Duenas, his successful rival, who
shot him out of hand. Subsequently, Martinez
was iged for his personal safety, to emgrate to
San Salvador, where his friend Duenas at once
put him mt the head of the great and irwin
chile army of that giant Republic. Jointly,
the two cast longing eyes on their neIghDorS
of Honduras who had succeeded in raising n
large loan in London for an interOceanic rail
way, now in process of rapid construction,
and found "suilicientn cause of war against
them. The consequence has been that the
people of the Serras came down upon them
after the manner of Sennacherib, utterly
routed the forces Of the ex-friar Duehas, took
his capital, and captured him and his friend
Martinez, both of whom, il is safe to presume,
were duly shot on tho spot where Gen. Barrios
was murdered.
The immediate result appears likely to be
the predominance of Honduras in Central
American politics. AS she has always been
essentially liberal, this is not matter of re-
gret. Hitherto Guatemala, the most reaction
airy of all the Spanish American Republics, has
dictated tho policy of most of the States of
the old Central American Confederation. Tho
occupation of San Salvador by Honduras does
not appear TO be in any sense in the nature OF
conquest it is an intervention In behalf OF
friendly IA against hostile party in the
State itself, and in no way threatens the au-
tonomy of that popnlous and industrious
little Republic. This has probably been
effected with no greater loss OF lie than We
have a right to look for in in ordinary "aCCi-
"dcut0 on, say tho Eiio Railway.

The Boston wing of the Woman Suffrage
party, which repudiates Woodruff, Anthony,
Stanton. and all their works, did not have
nearly so many dozens in attendance yester-
day at their Convention as we give them
thousands of readers this morning for our re-
port of their sayings. We congratulate them
on the promptitude, if we cannot on the tenn
per, wherewith they repudate the free-loye
teachings with which the leader of the
other wing is identified. They have
never been charged with them, but,
nevertheless, their reputation is honorable. 1t
remains to be seen how far this other wing Is
willing to follow the leader it has canonized
by resolution, as "Of the highest intellectual
ability and moral worth" For the rest, it
need only be observed that we sadly miss
and pine for the good, mouth-filling denun-
Citations of THE TRIBUNE, with which our
reforming friends have been wont to en-

The Rev. DR.. Tying is a convert to the last
pet philosophy of Wendell Phillips, and Is
ready to declare with that gentleman that the
country is about to be cOnvulsed with the ter
Iifio conflict of Labor and Capital. His rem
edy is not, however, 80 radical. He is not for
hanging millionaires as Mr.. Phillips is, but for
haranguing and converting the labOrers first
and the capitalists afterward. This is GER
tainly a broad field for missionary labor but
we fancy the needs of the heather workinen
and pagan employers are not half so great as
these prophets proclaim.

Gen. Rossel's request should by all means be

worthy rather of a cell in lunatic hospital.
