ANOTHER exposure of the plots of the
dynamiters has taken place. This time
it is smart young man who gets about
$S a week for helping to compound lies
for the Philadelphia Press. and the par
ticular society exposed this time is the
International Workingmens's Associa-
ton. This is really funny. but If there
was any truth in the story, the young
man in question would hardly be able to
laugh at the joke. I don't know great
deal about such things, but from what !
have heard l am of the opinion that
those who are trusted with the secrets
of revolutionary societies have every
inducement to keep their mouths closed,

Press reporter evidently refers, have a

If the Tribune Republican would be
honest 1T would have more friends among
the working people. Every few days it
has an editorial against Dynamitards
and Anarchists, in which it invariably
works on the word Socialism once or
twice, in an indirect way, but 30 as to-
make Socialists chargeable with the de-
structiye policy which it goes on to prove
is advocated by Dynamitards and An
archists. This is cowardly. I have
challenged the Tribune Republican to
discuss Socialism, and promise to prove
the science comprehends the safety and
welfare of all mankind !; but it shirks the
question, and tries to stab in the back.
Keep it up; day of judgment will
come.

THAT MISTAKE.

Everybody who at all feels interested
in to-morrow's parade of the working
men experienced great shock on Tues
day, by reading in the morning papers
that Zeigenfuss, Schenck and Robert
Morris were to occupy prominent posi-
tions in the line. The excitement ran
high all day and this Office was besieged
with indignant workingmen, who sol
emnly protested against being marshaled
by men who were not only met work
ingmen, but well-known politicians and
office-seekers." They didn't come to
this Office because this paper or its editor
was supposed to have more than ordi-
nary influence over the approaching
celebration, but, probably, because they
knew they could find sympathizers and
fellow akickers' within these walls.
Be that as it may, there can be no ques-
ton that the publication of those three
names in the connection in which they
were used, caused just indignation and
a quite natural excitement; for the most
conservative man was willing to cry out
against such dessecratinn- of What was
to be1 known as q workingman's nom
political, orderly demonstration.
Upon investigation it was learned that
it was all mistake, which had come
about by combination of innocent cir
cumstances, and the marshal of the
coming parade, after shouldering all the
blame, settled the whole affair by quietly.
correcting the error and publishing on
Wednesday morning very decided state
ment that the gentlemen before-men-
toned would not participate in the
parade. z
Mr.. Morris also published card
Thursday morning Withdrawing his
name, and stated that he had not been
consulted upon the subject, which was
undoubtedly true.
1t is unnecessary to give detailed ac-
count of this misunderstanding suffice
it to say that it was all mistake, which
has Ueen easily corrected, and the parade
will come off tomorrow, and be purely a
workingman's parade, as intended all
along, and as desired by all of US.

BARRIOS KILLED.
The Dictator Is Reported to Have
Been Slain
On the Battlefield of Chalchaepa,
Where
His Gold HiIted Sword Was Found
Broken.
Great Rejoicing Over the Report at
La Libertad.

La LlBERTAD VIA GALVESTON, Aprll'4.-
Hostilities between Guatemala and the
allied Republics have been suspended and
an armistiee of one months duration is an
nounced. The Legislative Assembly Of
Guatemala he's annulled the decree promul'
gated by the President, Barrios, on Febru-
ary 2Sth. in which q union of the Central
American republics was proclaimed and
Barrios was announced as q dictator and
supreme military chieftaln of all Central
America.
The gold-hilted sword of President Bar
rios was found on the battlefield OF Chal
chuepa broken.
According to the latest intelligence re
ceived here President Barrios, OF Guate'
mala, is dead. No particulars have been
received.
The rumored death of Barrios causes sur
prise and rejoicing. Barrios, the dictator,
began his public career in 1867, at the head
of a revolutionary force which in that year
stormed the barracks of San Marcos ano
put the garrison to flight. This success IN
itiated attacks on the government under HI;
leadership, giving him great prestige.
Failing to capture him, the ruling power:
made his father and brother prisoners, and
held them as hostages for the surrender Of
Barrlos himself. In 1869 his forces were
strengthened by the accession of Genera
Scraps Cruz, but in the same year he was
incapacitated by a wound received in battle
Subsequently, while he was still absent from
the field of operations, disastrous reverse:
overlook the revolutionary forces, Cruz anc
his army being taken prisoners and many
OF them shot or exiled.
In 1873 Barrios was elected President o.
the Republic to succeed Granados. He wa:
inaugurated on June 4. 1873. In October,
1876, his tenure was prolonged, aud oil
March 10, 1880, he wa reelected for a tern
of six years.
Barrios was born on July II, 1885, al
San Lorenzo, in the Department of Sar
Marcos, Guatemala. He was educated IL
the College of Guatemala, in the city o
that name, and was graduated In 1867
His special study was law.
1t was on March I that Barrios tala
graphed President Cleveland OF his ilten
ton to combine the FIVE Central American
States into one Union, and that he had as
sumed the title of Supreme Military Chief
Since then the course of his movements are
fresh in the public mind.
