A WAR FOR A CENT.

A delightfully."- complicated little affair is
setting the five Central American States by
the ears. The reports are vague and un-
trustworthy, but hostilities have probably
begun between Guatemala and San SALIVA
dor. The latter State claims TO have won a
signal victory over the Guatemalan in
vaders already. The cause of the war is no
clearer than the war ITSELF The re-
publics are Jealous Of each other, and
Guatemala, it is alleged, has been trying to
manage San Salvador's internal politics.
There is also fsirly-grounded suspicion
that Guatemala and Honduras would like
to absorb little San Salvador, and are work.
ing to that end. Not one of the five repub-
lies is big enough, or rich enough, or popu-
lous enough, to indulge in such a costly lux
ury as war, but in southern latitudes they
do not count the cost; they allow the foreign
bondholders to worry about that. Anyhow,
this war, if it is really war, will not be
much of one. 1t need not disturb us.

THE PULPITs PRERoGATIvE.

1t is we'll no doubt for the clergy to ab-
stain from active participation in partisan
politics, but they have a clear calling to
preach patriotism. In these days of peace,
patriotism does not urge her deyotees to
deeds of daring. We are not called upon to
die for our country just now. But patriotism
demands some duty of us all. The great
divines have rightly seen their duty to be to
seek purity in politics and ensure it. Bishop
Potter, of the Episcopal Church, spoke
lately in this strain ringing words of truth,
unpalatable but wholesome. Now Cardi-
nal Gibbons follows in the same line.
He saws: "When we find the most up
right citizens taking an interest in politics,
showing no zeal for the good government Of
the country. we may expect political stag
nation and corruption, but when the best
citizens manifest interest in public affairs
we have good government and honest ad-
ministration of public trusts.
SIT is the duty of every man to take an
active personal interest in the welfare Of his
country, and to see that the citizens are
elected to public places"

THE PRESIDENTIAL TOE,

Mr.. Hosea Ballou, of New York, has the
tenderest consideration for President Har-
rison's feelings. Mr.. BaIlou has asked the
Society for the Suppression of Vice to have
corn plaster advertisement removed
from a druggists window. The ad-
vertisement is very bad drawing
of President Harrison, and the
offensive feature to Mr.. Ballou is the ex-
posure of the Presidents big toe. We are
afraid Mr.. Harrison will not be grateful to
his champion in New York. The occupant
OF the White House who has survived the
merciless caricatures of the last two years,
the grandfather's hat and the Baby Mckee
witticIsms, will not squeal when his big toe
is caught in an advertising trap. Mr..
Ballou has raised hullaballoo for nothing.

other light than that OF an abandonment
of the old position.
Even admitting the claim that the owner

record is thrown in, it does not follow that
$40, 900 need be put up in order to obtain a

with proviso that the receipts shall be do
mated to any charity to be named by the
winner would have made the record and
avoided all semblauce to racing for money.
No one believes that Mr.. Bonner is making
this race for the sake of winning $40, 900,
nor is it probable that he will keep the
$40, 900 if be wins it. But, presuming that
his lifelong opposition TO racing for money
was based on principle, it is pity that the
temptation to have his horse meet a rival has
even temporarily overcome his adhesion to
that principle.

Woman's Union.
GREENsBURG, July 2L-A call for nom
partisan convention of temperance women Of
Westm moreland county has been issued. The
old temperance organization, it appears, is too
partisan, and the object is to break away en-
tirely from politics. The president of the w.
G. T. T., Mrs. H G. Bray. states that crisis in
the progress of woman's temperance work has
come. The forces are divided, and while we
feel sure that both factions are sincere in their
work, we may choose to which faction we may
belong Chester, Tioga, Lehigh, Washington,
Beaver, Allegheny. Indiana and Monroe
counties have already divided. Many earnest
temperance workers have dropped out OF the
work on account of the partisan policy OF the
Christian Temperance Union. We want TO
form an organization upon the original plan OF
the Union"
The convention will meet here on Friday,

QUEER Ex PERT TESTIMONY.

A very remarkable example OF the way in
which representatives of special interests
decline to see anything in public questions
but their own interest has recently been
furnished in Philadelphia. A meeting of
the Rapid Transit Commission in that city
afforded opportunity for the railroad presi-
dents whose companies now control the
routes of egress and ingress in that city to
express their views.
Those views were to the effect that what
their own companies are doing furnishes
all the rapid transit that Philadelphia
wants; and especially that the belt line pro-
iect which has been proposed to give all
present and future railroads access. to Phila-
delphia's water front, would be an entirely
useless thing. AS the new lines would dis
turb the monopoly of the existing ones, il is
not strange that the railroad presidents
should take this view; but the same consid-
alton also makes it legitimate conclusion,
that, as the Record puts it, it would be as
we'll to ego to the devil for holy WATER" as
to such authorities for advice as to the i'm
provement of Philadelphia's freight or pas
senger transit facilities.
Yet it is on exactly such interested
authority as this that a great many import
ant enterprises are decided. The South
Penn project, whose story is being retold by
special articles in THE DISPATCH, is an
example of corporate powers deciding that
public enterprise must not be carried
through, because it will disturb their
selfish interests, and enforce that decision
regardless of charter obligations, constitu-
tional requirements or the decisions of the
courts. Nothing is palmer than that the
improvement of the Point district in this
city makes it for the general interest to have
belt lines both for freight and local passen-
ger traffic transversing that section. Yet
there is no doubt that the existing COM
panies reaching that section will, as In
Philadelphia, unanimously testify that such
an Improvement is not wanted.
1t is not remarkable that very intelligent
men should take an unfavorable view of
things that may not suit their own direct
interests; but it is q singular thing that
their opinion should be taken as
authoritative where it is known to be
interested. The common law knows enough
to keep men out of juries whose interests
will be affected by the verdict, and feeble
attempts are made to exclude from muuici-
pal and legislative action men who will be
pecuniarily affected. Yet, for public enter
prises, like the improvement OF a city's
railroad connections or the completion of
railroad, selfish interests are often allowed to
pevail over public policy. Such an anomaly
argues a vicious condition at the root of
affairs,

WHAT ELSE Is ITS

When old RoberS Bonner steps upon the
quarter stretch and offers to back Sunol
against Belle Hamlin for $1,000 and the gate
receipts it does not argue that he has relin-
quisbed his scruples against trotting his horse
for money, but that he does notp propose TO be
bluffed by the men who make horse racing a
business. He has confidence in the California
fly be has purchased. and a race for money is
the only way for him to let her secure record
and settle the question as to which shall be
queen of the turf.
The logic OF the above justification of Mr..
Bonner's recent departure, which is at
tempted by the Chicago Inter Ocean, is not
very convincing. Although 900 may be
small sum to Mr.. Bonner and the pluto
cratic paragrapher of the Inter Ocean, it is
indisputable that it is money; and after a
man has spent lifetime in declaring that
be will not race for money. it is difficult TO
see how proposal to race for $4,000 and

at the Meeting In Boston.
BOSTON, July N.-A number Of changes in
the rules and regulations and ritual of the
Grand Army of the Republic will be proposed
at the meeting of the National Encampment
in Boston next month. The Department OF
Georgia suggests that the National Encamp-
ment appoint new Committee on Ritual who
shall endeavor from the old and new ritual to
devise a still newer one which shall meet with
more general approval. The Departments OF
Massachusetts, and New York ask that the
ritual be restored as it was before the last
amendment. Kansas makes several sugges-
tions in regard to the rules and regulations
affecting members of posts who may be in ar
rears.
One section is as follows: THAT hereafter,
when any comrade shall be unable to pay his
annual dues to his post, and shall ask to have
them remitted, he may be placed upon the re-
tired list of said post by majority vote OF
those present. The retired list shall include
all members who voluntarily ask to have their
dues remltted, because of their inability to pay
them, and all such comrades shall have and re-
tain all the rights and privileges accorded te
other members of the order" The regulation
in regard to disabled soldiers taking part in the
parade on August II is that division OF car
riages will be formed directly in the rear of the
Massachusetts, Department posts. Depart
ments having disabled comrades must, however,
furnish the necessary transportation.
