ments precedents are what kings privil-
eges are to limited monarchies, things
cited in support OF power and in favor OF
the repression of liberty. Precedent is
ever a sanction for tyranny never an adj
vocate for freedom. Are commissions
to be called for because there are preced-
ents for them? 1t seems that the older
the precedent the more weight it has with
those who are calling for commission. is
there a special providentce in precedent?
If so the church dominant and militant in
Utah can cite precedent for its preaching
and its practice from creations first dawn,
and this from sacred books worshipped
by hall the world To establish the the
ory and the fact that in our form of govern
ment the citizen stands first before all
churches; that from the citizens the gov
ernment derives its power and that gov
ernment deriving power from any other
source is government usurping power,
should be the aim and desire of all Ameri-
cans, but more especially of those who ad-
here to the doctrines of Democracy, and
not to follow precedent.

and that her population is less than a mil
lion and a half, of whom only third are of
European descent. To accomplish revolu-
tions and make permanent the ideas
which are embodied in them there is
needed firmness of individual character
and feeling of personal interest which
are too rarely found in the mixed
races of our sister republics. The char
acter of the nation is but reflex of the
character of the people making the ma
ton, and can be nothing else. And then
Guatemala is divided at home and for
many years she was under the rule of
the priests, who are still active and waiting
their opportunity to bring on their revo-
luton. 1t is to be hoped Barrios may
succeed, not merely by arms, but by
ideas, although tits more than probable he
will not.

RUFINO BARRIOS.

The attempt of President Barrios to
consolidate the various republics of Cen
tral America into one grand federation.
taking as the model therefor the United
States, is bold attempt and of doubtful
success. The very surprise by which he
took the people and its completeness is
the thing which augurs so badly for the
success of the movement. The Spanish
American States are of so mercurial
make that the grand schemes
of to-day with every prospect of success
become on the morrow defunct under
takings, and make one more revolution
to be remembered in history and forgot
ten in memory. Among Spanlsh-Ame-
rican governments year without revolu-
'tions is year without interest and of
rare occurrence. If this effort of Barrios'
could succeed and the idea become the
accepted one with all Central American
governments it would probably be the
best thing that could happen to that por-
ton of the American continent. The
idea is return to the Confederation of
Central America, of which Guatemala
formed part for some eighteen years,
when in 1859 she proclaimed constitu-
ton, which was modified in 1879. The
Legislative power is vested in National
Assembly elected by universal suffrage,
nj fxN,.. r rr7l
now is General Rufno Barrios, who was
reelected in 1880, for six years. Whether
the influence of Guatemala is sufficient
with her sister republics to have this old
idea again adopted is doubtful, especially
when we remember that the total area is
estimated at about 4l,SOO square miles,

New Haven Physicians who Think a
Slur has been Cast Upon Them.
from the Nelo York Times.

from the NeD York Times
NEW HAVEN, CONN, Nov. There
are scores of regular physicians in this
city, and nearly every man of them is ex-
cited over the subject OF public vaccina-
ton. Some time ago the Board OF Educa-
ton got frightened at the possibility of
smallpox epidemic, and worked up Pc
tition for town meeting to make an APP
preparation for free vaccination. The
meeting was held and only one man voted
against the appropriation, which was not
to exceed $4,000. Then the selectmen took
the matter in hand. They didn't
believe in any sentimental squeam-
lshness. If the town mad lot of
vaccinsting TO do, the business should be
done just as economically as possible.
They would act just as if they had a sew
er to build or road to repair. They
would not pay doctors So an hour just for
making little holes in peoples arms.
They would let the vaccinating out by
contract. Times were dull for the doc
tors, anyway, and the cheapest bidder
could have the contract. The board Of
health favored the Boston firms virus.
The selec men found another brand that
cost $15 thousand less.
When the New Haven physicians heard
of all this they lost their tempers. Last
night the city Medical Association held
meeting, at winch the members declared
themselves as utterly opposed to putting
in bids, and intimated that any man who
would bid was no doctor at all. They
were no 81 a day men, and they felt so
badly about the slur the Selectmen had
cast upon their ancient and honorable
profession that they adopted a set of reso-
buttons, which closed with the statement
''thaG it is the sense of this association
that no member should put in bid to do
the vacciDating under the proposed plan
to obtain the service at the lowest cost"
This afternoon the Selectmen held meet
ing and voted to carry out their original
plan to let ont the contract. So the ply
sicians are Disguised, the Selectmen are
triumphant, and New Haven waits to be
Vaccinated,

Care of Them nor the Police of Billy.
From a Neto York Dispatch.
Arthur BeckwOrth and Howard Henry
Warrey are divinity students, and they
look so, for they wear black broadclOth,
cut in a slghtly-clerical fashion, and
their manners are imperturbably grave.
This aspect of ministers made them sim
gular in the crowd at Billy McGlOry's in
famous Armory Hall when they went
there with a professional view to learning
about the wickedness of the town. 1t is
customary to let these clergvmen in en-
bryO do city missionary work If they de-
sire to, and the visit to McGlory's is not
suspected of having any other than an
honest intent. The young men took a
seat in quiet corner of the gallery and
prepared to watch the drinking and dane
ing.
The floor manager is Andy Kelly, al
most as notorious as McGlOry, and more
herOlcally, in the estimation Of the gangs
who frequent the place, for he is the
bOuncer. 1t is an unwrilten rule that the
visitor shall not be exempted by the pay
ment Of SOC. for admission from the fur

reg did not respond to these calls. Andy
Kelly was informed of their unbearable
conduct. He showed a small table be-
tween them, placed two extra chairs at
their sides, beckoned two girls to be
seated, and then gruffly said. "rll take
yer orders, please" The students de-
clined to obey. By this time all other
diversion was suspended, and the party
was crowded by merry insulting, dirty
mass Of young lOafers, thieves and Bowery
slatterns.
'sThe gents WIN have wine," shouted
Andy, aud a waiter brought a bottle OF
champagne, which the two girls drank.
The students arose to 90. ~Pay your bill
first" said Kelly, So" AS the alterna-
tive seemed to be'a whipping, with rob-
berry as an incident, the milder form of
plumber was submitted TO, and they de-
parted in a pandemonium of jeers and
laughter. They went to tho nearest police
station, which is close by in Elizabeth
street, and complained to the sergeant on
duty there, innOcently expecting that he
would modest McGlory. He simply
laughed at them, and remarked that they
were too guileless TO be out so late in that
part of the town. They are now prepar-
ing their case for presentation TO the
Police Commissioners.

The agitated sergeant explained the mat

AT KATAHDIN,s FOOT.
A Lake Astounding with Fish to which
sportsmen are just Beginning to Re
From "a NJ York So

Prom tho Ne7o York Sun.
BANGOR, Nov. Near the foot of
Mount Katahdln. in TIE heart of the great
Maine wilderness, is Katahdin lake, q
new resort to which Massachusetts and
new York sportsmen are daily iourneying
to shoot and fish. This lake is very
beautiful sheet of water, but il has been
unknown and unsung in all the years
past because of the difficulty experienced
in reaching it. very few tourists having,
until lately. braved the tOilsOme way
leading to it. But now a route, afford
ing comparatively easy travel, has
been opened to the lake, and the hills up
hunters gun and the fsherman's merri-
ment. From Bangor the traveller goes to
Mattawamkeag. 5S miles, by rail, and
thence to Patten. 50 miles further on,
by stage. At Patten the new road begins,
and the journey of . miles to kathadin
Lake is maze on easy going buckbOards.
From the lake a bride path o miles in
length leads to the basin of Mount katha-
din, which is deep depression at the
mountains foot. rich in geological curl
osities and the home of abundant game.
In this basin lies a lake which is we'll
nigh tathomless, it being known as Bot
tomless Pond. The pond mas bottom, OF
course, but a very long tishline Will not
reach it. 1t has fish, too, literally swarm
ing with large trout.
katahdin Lake itself is four miles long
and five miles wide, and affords some OF
the very best trout fishing in the world.
A large camp has been built here for the
accommodation of spOrtsmen, and il at-
fords the tourists many comforts and con-
Veniences not often found in the wilder
ness. From this point, also, the ascent of
Mount katahdin is comparatively easy,
and one can reach the summit with half
the work and hardly any Of the danger in
Cured by those who have climbed up the
other side.
About the lake and the basin of Katah-
din may be had as good partridge shoot
ing as can be found anywhere, and carl
bou are numerous in the thick woods.
On the way to Katahdin by the new route
one crosses the east branch of the Penob-
scot and Wassataqu0ik streams, famous
for salmon. Not long ago Mr.. j. Nelson
Howard, Of Providence, caught IN Lake
Onaway, near MonsOn, 20-pOund trout.
The fish WAS feet long, and was caught
after AZ minutes play with an eight ounce
| rod. This is the biggest laker ever caught
in Northern Maine, the MoOsehead fish
weighing only II to IS pounds each.
Katahdin has recently been ascended
by some daring spirits on horseback.
