The execution of Delgado by President
Bogran Of Honduras seems to have raised a
storm Of popular disapproval In Central
America. La RepuJHca, the leading daily
paper OF Costa Rica, recently devoted a
page to description OF the execution and
the crueltiCs which preceded 1t. 1t de-
clares that Bogran has placed a martyrs
crown on the head of Delgado and halter
around his own neck. Private letters re-
ceived from Honduras state that Bogran,
having once begun to kill, is going on, and
that sixteen more OF Delgado's men have
been condemned TO death at Comayagua.
Strict supervision Of the telegraph aud the
press of Honduras prevents what is going
on there from being known to the outside
world, but the news that does leak out
shows that Bogran is as despotic and bloody
as Central African chief. The execution
OF Delgado is looked upon by the Hondura-
mans with all the more horror because they
remember that Delgado once saved Bogran's
life.

Cox replied that Mavryeni Bey, who is now

The late minister to this country was Tewfk

Rustem Etfendi, the minister TO Great Britain
from Turkey, is known to many Americans as
formerly governor of the Lebanon, when II
was required by treaty that the governor of
that Christian portion OF the Ottoman empire
should be himselfa Christian. Rustem Pacha
is of Italian descent and was nobleman of
Italy before he became associated with Turk

viii tho Senator Mako War on the
Public Printer?
Since Senator German returned to town
he has been asked by dozens OF newspaper
men what course he is going TO take when
Public Printer Benedict's name comes up
before the Senate for confirmation. His
invariably reply is awe will see," with
smile which might mean anything but
pleasure. No Marylander doubts, however,
that the senator will oppose Benedict di-
rectly or Indirectly. Indeed, he could never
look to another term In the Senate II he
failed to fight the confirmation OF q man
who has taken away the means OF sub
sistence of hundreds OF his constituents
just on the edge Of winter. AS is well
known Maryland was one Of the chief
sufferers by the recent discharges In the
government printing office, and the Mary
landers discharged were nearly all proteges
the German men had been especially
picked out for dismissal, and so the sena-
tor himself believes, although II is not at
all probable that the public printer had
anything OF the kind in view. Many Of the
discharged came TO Senator German with
their complaints, and he being unable to
reinstate them has been growing more and
more indignant at Mr.. Benedict's course.
Since the senator has, throughout his po-
litical career, succeeded In Furnishing his
enemies, as well as In rewarding his friends,
few doubt that he will make his displeas-
ure felt. or course, he will not oppose
Benedict on the ground OF his having dis
charged Marylanders, but 1t is thought that
he can find many vulnerable points In the
public printers record, and he is Just the
man to take advantage OF them.

smiling, and cordial only to those whom he
knows well. The announcement that he was
engaged caused very great surprise among his
friends, since II was generally supposed that he
was something of woman hater and cut out
for a bachelor life. He is perhaps the most
good looking, with very large fortune and a
bright political future, he is regarded as the
greatest catch at the capital by match making
mammas.
The third of the trio OF prospective benedicts
is Hon. BENJAMIN Le Fevre, of Ohio. There
was some talk at one time of his paying at
tention TO Miss Cleveland, but that was all un-
founded rumors The latest and apparently
the last authenticated information Is that he
is bent on leading to the altar n handsome and
wealthy widow of New York city, and that his
suit has progressed so favorably that mar
riage will take place before Congress adjourns.

Sugar and Tobacco.
The following from the representative of

BALTIMORE, Dec. %, 1896.
EDITOR NATIONAL REPUBLICAN,: have been

nifty have found for reply.

not quite clear to the ordinary observer why
sugar coming into San Francisco should be free
and the same article subject to duty on enter
ing Baltimore.
9. There Is no commensurate benefit from
the duty on sugar for the protection afforded.
The vast bulk OF the sugar consumed in this
country Is foreign grown.
3. Sugar. like salt enters into universal con-
stiles Of life.
4. Every one agrees that the surplus must DO
reduced. the only difference being as to the kind
OF tax which shall be repealed, The lowering of
duties on certain articles will lead by reason
of augmented importatlons to an increase in-
stead of decrease of revenues. No such result
can happen as the effect of the repeal of tho
sugar duty. The reduction 1t will cause in the
treasury surplus can be calculated almost to
cent.
The appeal OF the duty OF course should be
accompanied by provision requiring the pro-
ducing counties TO exempt sugar from ex::
port duties. III the sugar duty is repealed
| there will be no occasion to remit other taxes.
as the surplus VIII be reduced within safety
limits, II occasion. however, required,

Behold there came vision
Past scenes did reappear;
The world, erst realm elysian,
Was hiding place for fear.
Throughout the earth benighted,
Roamed wickedness and sin,
And myriads, souls affrighted,
Were doomed TO death therein
To punishment eternal,
We're doomed, beyond the grave;
Unless some power supornal,
Some potent strength, might save.
The rush of angels winging
Was heard earth's regions DER;
In sweetest anthems singing
The thrilling news they bore.
"COnd0ning tiny behaViOr,"
They sang with one accord;
'To you Is born Savior
Whose name is Christ the Lord"
oh, souls In sins strong prison
Look ur this joyful day;
For To- when truth Is risen,
Then error sinks away!
Portentous clouds were driftings
And, pendant, in mid air
Was pall'like shade unlifting,
Andtrembling silence there.
"a glow in Heaven, consuming,
Dispersed the blackness dense,
Transmitting light, illuming
The sky with radiance.
And thus the clouds were parted
The shadows fed its rays;
Earth's children. heavy hearted
Looked on with rapt amaze.
The sombre, rifted pinions
Were by this light displaced,
As DER the earths dominionS
The mist by sunbeams chased.
The glorious elimination
Was viewed through happy tears;
The promised revelation
Re.echoed down the years.
Enshrlned in roseate splendor,
Effulgent radiance bright

In flowing robes of white.

From Asia's lofty stations,
And oceans distant isle.

A Trial of Powers.

From the 4I6dnY (Gd.) Yelcs and AdUe,ttser
Two of Albany's society young gentle
men had a dispute on Thursday Afternoon
as to which of the TWAIN was held il
highest favor at a certainh0me by pretty
Albany belle.
Both young gentlemen were touched
with tender regard for the same lassie
Each thought himself the favorite and
considered his rival as wanting in powers
to please, though they wOrshiped at the
ksame shrine.
Their remarks as to each others pOpu
'laTity reminded one of two rival candi
dates seeking popular favor. Candidates
you know, do not see the good points Of
each otner. They look at tue bright side
OF themselves, but on the dark side oil
their rival. SO with these aspirants. Ell.
Their one of them, il elected by the sweet
umpire, would be regarded, in the Ian.
guage of the carpet, a good catch.
There was no great difference IN the
personnel Of the lovers. One was little
sedate and somewhat baahful, but full OF
pluck with2l, and depended much on 3
handsome face, set of with a bunch OF
deli cate side WhiSkers and his prospects
as a rising young man to aid his cause.
Fbe other was more easy IN lady's society
and, though as young az his rival, was
more at home in the affairs Of the heart.
Moreover, he also prIded himself on has
good looks, his erect figure, his facile
tongue and his beautiful butf mOustache
But bow was the decision TO be made ?
Pistols and coffee and all such dudish
nonsense were discarded. The programme
arranged WAS an dd persORdm appeal.
They agreed TO call together on the un-
suspecting maiden. This they did-agree-
ing TO remain only one half hour away
from business. But they staid two hours.
He of quick speech, witty tongue, wor-
'ried his rival. hut was in turn worried by
rival. The test was unsatisfactory and
they propose to 90 it singly and alone in
future. We are ready TO hear from the
lady.
