The New York Sun is still quarrel
ing with President Cleveland be-
cause he did not dine recently with
the outgoing President. It finds the
neglect . lack Of courtesy and due to
a desire to turn his back upon social
observances, which have grown up,
under Mr.. Arthur's admins
tration. OF course, courtesy is q good
thing. It, Is sometimes the added
grace which crowns the man. Some
tunes it is we'll that man has it. be-
cause it is his only good quality.
But if Mr.. Cleveland shall give the
American people . plain, rough
edged. practical administration, with
the little grace left out. 1t may he
that the wise administra-
ton will live in history when the
little lackings have been forgotten.

rr1 SITUATION IN GENITAL

lust at this iuncture President
Barrios Is attracting about . much
.ttention as the Habdi. His amos.
tion il OF stalwart proportions, ana
we're it not for the objections this
government interposes to his scheme
he might crafty it. The situation Is
this: Genital America consists of
five separate and distinct Republics {.
Guatemala. San Salvador, Honduras,
Nicaragua and Costa Rica. Guate-
dala. which contains more inhab-
ltapts than any Of the rest. lies south
Of YucataD, touching the sea, at the
Gulfof Honduras, on the north coast,
and bounded south aud southwest BY
San Salvador, and east by Honduras.
Nicaragua lies next to Honduras and
south Of 1t, and Costa Rica is south
eakt of Nicaragua. re sching clear to
the Isthmus of Panama.
The first three Of these Republics
have for some time been anxious to
form q Central American federation,
but Nicaragua and Costa Rica would
not agree to 1t. The five Republics
were united until 1889, when the
union was destroyed by religious in
trigues. =
The war about to begiu was brought
about by President Barrios, of Guate-
msla, who issued q manifesto the
other day declaring the five Rerub-
lies to be q confederation. Soon af-
terwards war was formally declared
by San Salvador. It does not appear
from the dispatch against whom, or
by whom, this declaration was made.
The Guatemalan Consul supposes
that San Salvador and Honduras
will unite with Guatemala to force
the other two Republics into a
Uaion.
The real ca Use of the war is un-
doubtedly the ambition of Barrios to
become sole ruler of all Central
America. Since he has been Presi-
dent of Guatemala the government
has been an iron deepotism, and
should he succeed in his present
scheme he would attempt to rule the
union as he has ruled one State.
Whatever advant ages might accrue
to all five Republics from q fedora
ton, there appears to be no justlfica-
ton for Barrios' action. So far as in
ternational law Is concerned, Presi-
dent Cleveland might as we'll issue q
manifesto declaring all North Amer
ica to be q fedora ion, and attempt to
carry out the declaration by force.
However, the usual rule in Central
America has been that might makes
right; and Barrios may succeed in
his endeavors to found an empire for
himself II the United States do not
checkmate him.

Abrogation Of Poiygamy Discussed.
. SALT LAKE, U tab, March 18.-rhe
church organ breaks silence tonight
tor the first time on the rumor of the
coming abrogation of polygamy at
the spring conference. 1t argues
against it but does not absolutely
deny it, admitting at the same time
that a portion Of the church favors
the ster. 1t closes long editorial
saying: members Of the church
WHO feel and talk favorably for the
abrogation of dOctrinal points are the
reverse of 'strong.' They probably,
belong to claes who believe in the
fullness of the gospel as restored
through Joseph Smith and almost
wish they did not, or at least that 1t
was not true. They would like to do
the will of Goo provided 1t was
strictly in accordance with their
own. They desire to adhere to the
church because they cannot rid them
selves OF the conviction that 1t is the
power of God unto salvation but they
would like its doctrines and WAYS to
be more in conformity with those Of
the world; that every species of
friction which causes discomfort and
tenn 2oral disadvantage might be
avoided. In fact they are conserva-
tive Mormons," another term for
men who If the church of Christ
were manipulated by them would
doubtless adopt q policy of giving
up religious rights .piecemeal until
every feature between the Saints and
the world would disappear and they
would be loved all over the earth be-
cause they would be swallowed up
by the world which loves its own
It would result in another universal
apostacy similar TO that which took
place shortly subsequent to the tim
of Chr,st's earthly mission. But
coming back to the starting p :int al,
anticipations and predictions regard
ing the reception of revelations to the
church, are necessarily premature.
Tue faithful who seek to know and
do the will of God will not be shaken
of purpose, neither will they abandon
their religious principles in whole or
in part, under any kind Of pressure
whatever. They will hold TO their
integrity in the full expectation of
sooner or later beholding the saliva
ton of God.

An OFFICE HOLDERS LOT.

The Washington correspondent OF
the Omaha Herald takes occasion
from the presence in the capital OF q
rreet number Of anxious Office seek
ers to moralise upon the evil effects
Of ofIice holding under the govern
ment. He says 500 a month ana
seven hours work = day are very
tempting. out equally as deceptive.
Aclerk is compelled to keep up Ger
tain appearances which swallow up
all he mskes, while the insecurity OF
tenure apd the knowledge that abil-
ity and merit do not lead to promo
ton, are / source Of constant worry
to him.
All this is only too true, but it Is not
by any means the worst part OF the
truth. One needs to be clerk IN
Washington but q short time to ac-
ouire that habit of indolence which
wiltsoon unfit him for any other oc-
q. ;i.pation In life. A stranger visiting
the capital can at once distinguish
the veteran ofiiceholder by his "gov-
eminent STEP" and If he were to In
vide his Office would further detect
Tie feeling of disgust with which he
approaches his work. To do As little
a possible Is the great ambition OF
the average government clerk, and
it.must be said that with some prac-
tice he generally succeeds in gratify-
ing it pretty we'll. The oldest inhab'
liant has never known an official to
begin work q minute before schedule
time, or quit 1t second too late. His
creditors are not half 30 much the
subject Of his tender solicitude as is
the office clock.
The result of all this is natural.
Take two young men Of the same
age, like education and equal talents
and put one in . department at 500
a month and the other in some bnsi'
ness at $25 q month, and the chances
are that twenty years later the first
will be either still in the Office At the
same pay or a tramp, while the other
will In all prob ability be independent
in position and means and lntiuen'
tial in the community in which he
may live.

The committee on entertainment has
mapped out partial plan for the enter

The finance committee has nearly

understood that the amount asked for has
been very nearly or quite subscribed.
The transportation committee has COM

snce of a cordial cooperation of the
various interests invited has been given
tue movers in the matter. and there Is
hardly a doubt that the convention will
result in an accomplishment Of its pur-
poses.
