t1le work up to a certain amount Of outlay,
and, to raise the means without taxing their
own pockets, issued scrip based on the land
grants they held from the State, and the
State from Congress- This was redeemable
by the canal company of creditors, and the
State had nothing to do with it. The whole
affair, canal, lands, and all incidental adj
vantages passed to the Englishmen by the
Butler bill of 1916, supplemented and COM
pleted in 1S47. The paper issued by the
company was called "canal scrip and
'land scrip" but more commonly than
either sblue dog" and 'blue pup" from little
blue vignette on the bottom Of the bills of
dog watching money safe. It was receiva-
bic in payment for canal lands, but not for
taxes. The State had nothing to do with it,
and the New York holders who got it took it
just as they took tons Of other exiting
issues, on the chance of getting a fair redemp-
ton price for rubbish that they had bought
for song, or less. The canal company
abandoned the canal, the available lands were
taken up and occupied, and the unredeemed
'blue pup" remained an affair Of historical
curiosity, but of no more financial value than
the bills of the busted bank Of Jimtown. The
New York syndicate that undertakes to de-
preciate State credit by parade of this unre-
deemed trash is entitled to as little cons;deras
ton as any other dishonest combination.

THERE seems to be deal of unnecessary
pother about the surrender of Lee twenty
years ago. All this happened TWEEN
ty years ago and is history now Lee is dead,
and Grant soon will be.--The News
If anything much more cold-blooded than
the above can be found we do not know just
where to look for it. The publication of the
paragraph from which these two sentences are
taken is an indication that the recent editorial
in the News against the Union soldier was
not piece of thoughtlessness, as we
had hoped The surrender of Lee was the last
drama full of tragedy, and full of lessons that
the country must not forget if it would con-
tinue to live in peace and honor. To sheer
about it after the lapse of but twenty years,
and to say 'Lee is dead and Grant soon will
be-" as if to express the opinion that the coun-
try will be better off when both are gone and
no moro will be heard of the great events in
which they both took part, the one against his
country and humanity, to his eternal dis
credit, and the other in favor of them, to his
eternal fame and glory, is the expression of a
spirit against which all that is noble in patri
otism and all that is worthy in citizenship
should Indignantly protest. 1t is beyond our
comprehension how any newspaper can calm
ly and deliberately print such thoughts, even if
it entertains them. Has the time come in
this country when the story of the war of the
Rebellion is taboo, and when men must put
their hands on their mouths and their mouths
in the dust lest they offend somebody by an
page in American history?

The Career of Barrios.

Gen. Justo Rufno Barros was born July Is,
1885, in San Marco, Guatemala, not far from the
scene of his death. He was of pure Spanish de-
scent, and his father Don Jose Ignacio Barrios,
was o farmer in comfortable circumstances.
Showing little inclination for farm lfe Rufno
was sent to the University of San Carlos, in
Guatemala City, to study law. He was not dis
tingushed as student, and without being grad
uated he left the university in 1862 aud began
life as notary. In 1867 he joined the revoIu.
tionary forces under Gen. Serapio Cruz and soor
became distinguished for his daring and activity.
His sudden and successful attack, in August OF
that year, on the fort and garrison of San
Marcos gained for him great eclat, and was
the beginning of his prominence in Central
American politics. This movement ended with
the killing of General Cruz as Palacio in 1869.
During one of tho guerilla skirmishes Barrios was
severely wounded by shot in the leg. Two
years later BarrioS was fighting under Gen.
Garcia Granades, whose character and ability
have made his name Industrious" in Central
America This movement succeeded after five
hard fought battles, and Gen. Garcia Granades
became President. On the accession of Presi-
dent Grenades, Barrios was appointed Military
Governor of the department de los Altes, on the
northern frontier, and towards the end OF 1873

he has since held. The twelve years of his adj
nlinistration have been anything but peaceful.
A revolution breaking out in 1874, he adopted
stern reprcssiye measures proclaiming him
self Dictator and putting down opposition
with a strong and ruthless hand.
III 1876 he commanded expedition
against San Salvador at the head Of
Il. 900 men. He was several times defeated by
the Salvadorians ut Apanica, near the scene Of
tho recent fighting, and was only saved by the
clever Tnanosuvre of Gen. SolareZ Delgado, who
with few thousand men, made circuit to the
rear of the Salvadorian position and won a
brilliant victory at Pasaquina. In return for
this service Barrios, snarting under defeat and
EN- Filtered by jealousy, has persistently perso-
cuted General Delgado. who was only recently
released from prison penniless and broken

methods have made him greatly feared in Central
America, and he made many enemies. His one

GENERAL GRANT passed comfortable day
yesterday. AT the o'clock examination the
doctors united in saying the Generals con-
dition was improved, which is to be interpreted
simply for what it says, and isnot intended to
convey any idea of permanent Improvement
One of the pleasant incidents of the day was a
cablegram from Queen Victoria, dated Ankles
Bains, France, conveying her sympathy, and
inquiring after the Generals condition.

General T. awton,s Disabilities.

WASHINGTON. April Attorney general Gar
land has rendered an opinion relative to the al
legged political disabilities of Gen. A. r. Lawton
nominated for Minister to Russia, and suisse
quently withdrawn from the Senate The At
torney general says that the pardon granted by
President johnson was the only immunity ever
granted in such cases, and holds that the four
teenth amendment cannot be retroactive. At
torney general Garland himself stands in exactly
the same condition in regard to his political disa-
bilities as does Lawton. There is no doubt that
in view of this decision. Lawton will be commits
stoned and sent to st. Petersburg at once.

The Boston Herald, in commenting upon
the slow sweep Mr. Cleveland has made of
Republican office-holders, hazards the opinion
that 'Mr. Blaine would have swept closer
than this had he been elected" The Herald
was also of the opinion, short time since,
that Mr.. Cleveland would remove Higgins as
soon as he understood the mans true charac-
ter. 1t is good newspaper rule not to specu-
late upon the would have-been or the WILDE,
but to give attention to events as they occur.

WHY Carter Harrison was reelected Mayor
of Chicago is told by the figures There were
1892 less Republican votes cast than were
given in November of last year, and only
1852 less Democratic, difference Of 3, 40
against the Republicans. Had all the good
citizens" voted, Harrison would have been de-
feated by 10000 votes. The good citizen
did it by staying at home, as usual.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-But very few new
faces are seen here among the office seekers. 1t
is the same old crowd, though very much less
ened in size that stood up about the hotels and
departments, clamoring for place, when the
masses left after Inauguration They are a
feverish nervous set of men. Some are in such
i'll humor that they not only do not enjoy life,
but they won't speak to any but those who are
helping them in their supplications for place.
The most weary, impatient men are from In
DIANA Kentucky, and California. They came
here in high feather and large number, andhave
been SO completely left out that their presence
is almost unbearabe. They are i'll, sordid and
bilious They look cross, and snap, and snarl,
most of them, as though there was danger of
their disappointment breaking out into some
thing like hydrophobia--or mania-a-potu, which
is about the same thing hero.
The Administration aud the Spanish Treaty
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-The retention of Gen.
John w. Foster as minister to Spain, to COM
plete the Spanish-American treaty, is thought
to be prma facie evidence that this administra-
ton favors the treaty and wants to see it
ratified and if it hopes for the success of the
Spanish treaty, it must wish well for the Next
can treaty, which is on equally good basis for
this country. Further, if the administration
favors treaties, it does not favor general re-
duction of the tariff
Diplomates say the ratification of the treaties
now before the Senate is very probable next
winter, and that it will shut out anything like
an extensive consideration of the tariff question
The tariff is to be revised by specific bills, as
heretofore mentioned in these dispatches
