The radicals, or stalwarts, at first protested
against the recognition OF the conservatives, and
then, after the manner of politics In s. A., gave
vent to their dissatisfaction by inaugurating a
revolution to depose Nunez and place a strict
partisan in his place.
Foreign complications, French or otherwise,
have little or nothing to do with the present
disturbances. Only SO far as the alleged un-
equal distribution of national funds for public
improvements give rise to dissatisfaction, need
they be taken into account.
The first move OF the revolutionists under
Gen. Gaitau, was to seize all the river steamers
on the Magdalena, the great central artery of
trafnc and travel, and possess themselves of
BaronQuilla, the principal seaport, thus secur-
Ing the customs dues. Afterwards emissaries

THE STORY OF THE TRAGEDY,
Soon after the performance began Booth rode
up TO the rear stage door, of the theater and
called "Spangler," the assistant carpenter. and
asked him TO take care of his horse; it was near
the time for a change of the stage scenery. and
Spangler had to get another to do SO, and he
called boy, nick-named Peanuts" while he
resumed his stage work. The horse remained
there in the rear until about 1890 p. M, when
he was mounted with great difficulty by Booth
twho had broken an ankle-bone in a Jump and
rode away. In the intervening time the Presi-
dents box was occupied. Gen. Grant was not
phia, and did by the afternoon
train. Booth appeared in the front vestibuIe
soon after O'Clock. He greeted Mr. Bucking-
nam, then doorkeeper, and soon left to go on
10th street He went into Ferguson's saloon
adjoining, called for brandy, pouring out about
one third of glass, drank and paid for il. He
went into the theater again and passing the
doorkeeper he assembled the stairs to the dress
circle. Mr.. Buckingham noted the time as

of this circle he took position on the side near

Republican simplicity In Wash.
imRfOn.

Tho Constitutional requirement. that
Congress must give its consent to the
acceptance offoreign presents or honors,
Is an evidence of what foreigners call
our republican simplicity. This spirit
of simplicity" pervades all our insti-
tutions. The people arc not disposed
TO forget that they are the real sovor-
eign, and they require that the man
agement of their affairs shall be open
TO inspection. The citizens from tho
backwoods of tho West. and the citi-
zens from the classic streets of Boston,
may wander about the halls of governs
ment with equal .ttGedop and impuni-
ty. The only rRsttictiOn are those of
prudence or necessity. An American
should not complain because he Is per-
mitted to roam through the vaults of
the Treasury only under the escort of
a guide. Ii he wishes to hear the de-
bates of Congress, o seat In the gallery
is At his disposal.
That we find s'red tape aud exces-
sive dignities in some of our official
circles, 4 concede; but these are triHes
as compared with tho tedious fornali-
ties and pomp of other lands. Indeed,
it is only by such comparison that you
can properly estimate these features Of
American equality.
