THE statement that Barrillas, Guatemala S

THE statement that Barrillas, ,Guatemala's S
President, has little nest egg of $4,000 900
laid away in London, against his expulsion, to-
gether with the fact that the family of Barrios,
a deceased Central American politician, are
enjoying the fruits of similar foresight in New
York, indicates that the opportunities for Off
cial plunder by our Southern nelghbors are
such as to make the mouths of practical poll
ticians water. But they should remember that
everything has its drawbacks. The doctrine of
vested rights is SO lmperfectly understood IN
these revolutionary countries that the politi-
clans have to lay up their treasure abroad in
stead of enjoying the fruits of their industry at
home, as in this happy land

To the Editor OF The Dspatcn;.
Will you please answer in your next issue the
following questions: Was A. s. Hewitt. of New
York, ever Republican? If so. when did he
join the Democrats9 Did he vote with the
Democrats for tn ; Morrison bill? Did he stump
the State of New Y ork for Hayes? When did
Morrison's term expire as Congressman for Ill
inois? w. j. ,.
SHARON. PA, Feb. %.
[Abram S. Hewitt entered politics by an
election to Congress in 1874 as Democrat. and
served almost continuously until elected Mayor
of New York. His vote in Congress was nearly
always cast with his party. Morrison's last

In opposition to the proposed $4,000, 900
subsidy for a cable to Hawaii. a company pro-
poses to lay the cable without any su bsidy at
all, provided Congress will give it a charter.
But this does not afford any guarantee against
the subsidy. The deyice of getting charter
on the agreement that there shall be no SUBJ
sidy and then getting the subsidy on the
strength of the charter is too recent and too
prominent for the public to have much faith in
this proposition.

The disposition of the Democrats in the
House to refuse the vote of thanks TO Speaker
Reed shows failure to appreciate the niceties
of the situation. They ought to tender him a
vote of thanks that they still live. They might
properly unite with that gratitude an express
sion of thanks for his part in giving them their
big majority in the next House.

American Negro Authors.

ut is true that American negroes are now

a learned negro. Il have made collection of
books by American negro writers. and there
may be great many more than l have got
Some of them are good books, too. Among
them are works of poetry and volumes of SER
mons, beside novels. great many negroes
are now well educated, and more OF them are
getting to be. We have negro professors and
doctors and editors. and we have always had
plenty of negro preachers. I believe that, be-
fore hundred years from now, the American
negro will do his share of thinking in the

THE intimation by Secretary Fosters

The Boston Herald prints a long
interview with Hon. j. S. CIarkson,
president-elect of the Republican
league. MIR. Clarkson says: THE
labor question will figure in the next
campaign and ought to. Wealth
should be more evenly distributed
Something is ready for correction
when one man can pile up his mil
lions in few years, while another
has hard time to make living. If
the silver question is settled the stu
alton will be greatly cleared The
seat of Republican power, the west,
Will never consent to see the treasury
of the country dwarfed to a gold
basis The west will not consent to
any candidate or any platform that
will not represent the double stand
ard idea, and the greater part will
not consent to a platform that will
not recognize silver as money by the
coinage of the American product
With such a position on money and
with the position for a revision of the
banking laws so as to make our bank
ing advantages as favorable to agri-
cultural communities as cities and
towns, andwith the purpose to pro-
vide good money and enough of it,
the Republican party will hold the
west as solid for the party as it did in
1888, while the Mckinley bill will
carry with it New York and the
doubtful states for the protection
party.
1.-The next Republican candidate
for president" said Mr.. Clarkson
must be a man who can maintain
the solidity of the party in the great
agricultural region west of the Miss
issippi. The candidate must not on
ly be near to the people, but must no
be far from the farm ALI polItica
parties will go more closely to thu
farmes hereafter than they have il
tho past fifty years. The farmer
are going to assert themselves ia pub
lie life, and for the good Of the race

House to enjoy tho entertainment of

were ladies. The quartetts by Mes

Hull. Stone and Miss Bissell, were no

lent. Miss BisselI sustained her well
deserved reputation, as a lady of SUI
perior attainments and thorough
scholarship. The recitation by Mssa
Minnie Perkins, 1.-THE class Of sSe.
was we'll rendered. The cid and
beautiful piece, entitled, "The ride OF
Jennie McNeal," was rendered the
best we have ever heard. The gradu-
alton Grafton by Ray NJ Tinney en-
TITLED History" was good. Mr.. Tin
ney spoke in an easy and natural tone
of voice; his Grafton showed good
preparation and a good knowledge OF
history, upon the part of the gradu-
ate. The encore that he received
was fully deserved, and the numer-
Gus boquets of flowers he received,
showed that his many friends fully
congratulated him upon the proud
event of his life. Mr.. Tinney is but
16 years old. He is a quiet unassm-
ing young mao. Mr. Hull made a
neat and well chosen little speech in
presenting the diploma which was
emphasized by the encore of audi
ence. We congratulate KirwIn, for

The Scare subsiding.

The impression is growing in east
ern financial circles that Kansas Is
not, after all, as bad a place as GER
tam of our state newspapers IN their
senseless hostility to the alliance have
tried so hard and so desperately to
make out; that investments are as
safe. and returns as sure in Kansas
as in any other first class agricultural
state.
The fears of a wholesale repudia-
ton of financial obligations on the
part of Kansas farmers have been
found to be groundless, and the re-
turning good sense of eastern invest
ors is again showing itself in the of
fers which are being made to loan
money on good Kansas real estate
mortgage security.
The CHAMPION may be allowed to
say in passing, that there never would
have been any scare at all among
eastern capitalists with reference to
Kansas securities, had not certain
bigoted partisan Kansas journals ex-
erted themselves in their foolish OPP
position to the alliance, to destroy
public confidence IN the good faith
of Kansas. At no time, either before
or since the election in IN November
last, did the Peoples party say or do
anything looking towards the repudi-
alton of honest debts, or towards de-
stroying the value of securities. No
such suicidal thing was ever contem-
plated or proposed by them. They
were charged with such purpose, it
is true, and their simple efforts to Sc
cure an equitable stay law, the re-
duction of the legal rate of interest,
the removal of the Ubiquitous ''waver"
clause from all future mortgages, and
certain other just notifications of
foreclosure proceedings were distort-
ed, and represented by their enemies
to mean Reputation. But none of
the measures proposed by them had
that intent, and none of these meas
-ures passed; and had each and all of
them became laws, the security OF
capital would not in the least have
been jeopardized, no equitable rights
of the creditor class would have been
infringed, and no real harm done to
| eaDitaI IN anv sense.
Certain Republican party organs,
however, moved more by prejudice
than by any honest desire to serve
Kansas, and as a means of breaking
the growing power of a formidable
political rival, published columns Of
senseless aud lying rot about the al
lance proposed Reputation of honest
debts: and it was this stuff sent broad.
cast over the land, more than the real
facts in the case, that created serious
misrepresentation in eastern financial
circles. But a reaction is now taking
place IN that quarter as the truth Of
the situation begins to dawn upon the
timid and fearful money loaners, and
the consequence is that the repudi
alton scare-crow is no longer able Il
keep capital out of Kansas-Atchi
