A Matter OF Money.

The political character OF the demonstra-
tlon proposed for Chicago in 1892 isdevelop-
ing pretty rapidly. The latest report upon tho
status and prospects OF the $5,OOO0 900 which
was alleged to be subscribed as the financial
basis OF the Chicago Fair is given by gem
tleman OF that city to correspondent OF the
Globe Democrat. The vision promises TO
materalize to this extent:
out the sS ooo 600 subscribed We shall be able to
collect about q u0l oOo-not more than that 1--WE get
900 OF the O. ooo subscribed We shall be doing
~ wen - any one who acquainted with the character
Of the subscriptions thinta"
Tho idea is that the Illinois Legislature
will raise q genuine $5,0O0.o0o through an
issue Of bonds, and then the local obliga-
ton 10 10 cease and be supplemented by an
appeal to Washington for $5,000,0Oo more,
thus raising the total capital to S12,Ooo,ooo.
To add the sum OF five million dollars to the
already enormous Government expenditures
would require some extraordinary emer-
Rency for justification. The proposition to
use 1t to promote Republican fair can have
no place on any tolerable programme. The
grand old party exhausted it's license when
It took the Fair from It's natural and proper
ground and carried 1t to q spot where 1t
could manipulate all the politics in 1t for Its
own advantage; but to take besides this,
five million dollars from the public treas
ury In order to carry the enterprise on on
the Same line is too much.
Unless Chicago can raise $10,0O0,00o In
honest cash from within her own dilated
limits, sho had better give up the Fair.

Guatemala and Salvador.

The present turmoil In Central America
wildly recalls that OF five years ago. with
out wholly resembling it. The President Of
Guatemala, JOSE RUFINo BARRIos, at that
time proclaimed a union OF the five repub-
lies, and assumed the title of Supreme Mill
tary Chief. Salvador, backed by Nicaragua
and Costa Rica, denounced this bold stroke
at dictatorship, and was promptly invaded
by BARRIos, who was defeated and killed In
tho first battle. Now the project OF Central
American union, although taken up In far
better way, once more causes trouble be-
tween the same two republics. The present
Government of Salvador again opposes 1t.
and has again looked for the aid Of Costa
RIGA and Nicaragua, should her territory be
invaded by Guatemala. II the reported In
vasion OF Salvador and defeat OF the Guate-
malan forces should turn out to be correct.
the historic parallel would be still closer.
Be this az 1t may, the analogy has been
curiousiy strengthened by the events of the
last few weeks. BARR1os. in 1885, complained
that Salvador, after practically pledging
herself to Central American federation, re-
fused to aid in bringing 1t about 1t Is Ger
tainly true that two years before, when
for this purpose. President ZALDTvAR Of
Salvador, who had been helped to his Office
by BARRIos, warmly supported tho plan
proposed by the latter, whereas the other
representatives showed distrust OF him.
This distrust was continued, and practically
prevented the assembling OF another con-
ference called by BARRIos in 1884, But
when the Guatemalan dictator resorted to
force and called on ZALDIvAR to recognize
certain appointments made by him as Su-
preme Military Chief, ZALDIvAR refused |;
and this refusal BARRIoS chose to consider
as treachery, although 1t does not appear
that ZALDIvAR ever agreed to any such
arbitrary arrangement.
However. partial parallel to that
affair is now furnished by tho fact that
when the Diet held at San Salvador last
year adjourned, on the 10th Of October.
President MENENDEz, the successor OF
ZALDIvAR, on that very day approved the
compact and plan OF federation which tho
Diet had drawn up declaring that lit faith

Honduras, Nicaragua, and Costa Rlca all

utlve and legislative ratification. Once
more, accordingly, tho indignation OF
Guatemala is stirred up against Salvador,
and once moro the sympathies OF the Hon
duras Government are said to be with the
former, while the two southern republics,
Costa RIGA and Nicaragua, whose Legislative
sanction for the new project Is still delayed,
have been appealed to by Salvador. Guate-
mala also recognizes in EzETA determined
opponent OF her influence In tho other Cen
trail American republics, and accordingly
proposes to direct her hostility against him
rather than against Sally ador.
But tho ability OF EzETA to maintain him
self In power Is still to be tested, and should
he be overthrow, his successor would
be likely to favor federation. Guatemala
on her part should have learned something
from the experience Of 1888. She saw then
not only that the United States would refuse
to recognize federation established by
violence, but that Mexico would take up
arms against 1t. She also cav what SALIVA
dor, though her inferior in population and
resources, could accomplish unaided In de-
fence OF her soil; for the troops offered by
Nicaragua and Costa Rca did not reach
ZA1D1vAR in season for the baltic he fought
with BARRIos.

OF federation, at least In its original form, Is

An Alliance with Aristocracy Denied

AN Alllhnco WIN AEIbOOcEaCt DChico
For some time past rumors have been
frequent that we were about to have an
other alliance with the aristocracy OF Eu-
rope by the marriage of Mrs. FRANK LESLIE
OF New York with the Marquis DE LEUvILLE
OF London. They have been a revival Of
old reports to the same effect; but Mrs. LES
LIE, who returned from abroad on Sunday,
denies them fatty. She has no intention Of
marrying tho Marquis or anybody else. she
tells reporter OF The Sun.
In thus Diminishing any ambitions ofbecom-
ing Warehouses which she may have had,
Mrs. LESLIE has shown commendable self
restraint, and also much sagacity. The
Marquis DE LEUvILLE Is a scion OF the arls-
tocracy, who does not seem to US adapted to
shine In domestic life. He is too gorgeous a
creature for limitations 80 narrow; and, be-
Sides he must BIO very expensive to keep.
Doubts have been cast on the genuineness
OF his title, but he still sticks to 1t. and pos
sibly it is his. at least by right OF purchase.
But his claims to an extraordinary physical
beauty suggest that he might be a danger
GUS man to marry; for the admiration OF
his wife, viewing him near at hand. might
not remain sufficient for his demands That
Is the trouble about marrying man 30 hand
some and so conscious OF his own charms.
The danger is the greater In the case OF
the Marquis. because it has been necessary
for him to repair the ravages of time by al
tilcial aids and appliances. Without his
corsets and his padding he might seem
shapeless and dilapidated. Thus when he
got TO DO beyond tho reparation of science
even his beauty would fade hopelessly.
Hence We applaud the good judgment of
Mrs. LESLIE In refusing TO encourage the
overtures of the Marquis DE LEUvILLE. 1t
ID possible to pay too high a price even to
get into the ranks OF the aristocracy.
