retains il hold upon the minds Of the
reading public, for though its founder is
no more. the editorial corps Of the Re-

than all, are its able and dignlfied edito-

publican, that is of questionable charac-

for the advancement of good taste and
morality in journalism. Its treatment of
every subject is fair and dignifed, and
all these qualities, rare in the paper Of

letter of April 20, says revolution
took place In Santa Fe, Argentine Re-
public, beginning at the capitol In the
city of Santa Fe on the night of the
Oath of April, and continuing through
the next day. The government being
armed with American repeating rifles,
defeated the insurgents, killing twenA

that city. Governor Orionda coward~
ly fled to the parapet Of church until
his soldiers were victorious. He then
ordered all the dead insurgents buried
In common ditch, refusing to allow
their relatives to bury them. Several
insurgents were captured. The city OF
Rosario is also held by government
troops, but In other portions OF the
state the insurgents have been success,
full. The town of Cororda was captured
by rebels, It's government garrison de-
feated and its commander killed. The
insurgents include nearly all the best
