THE CENTRAL AMERICAN WAR.
General Bonilla's Army Again De-
feats Governments Troops.


feats Government Troops
New YORK, March 15.-The Herald's
Panama special says: A dispatch has
been received from Tegucigalpa which
says that General Sierra, chief of Bonil-
las army, has won great victory. At
the head of the forces sent against
General Vasquez, commander Of the
government troops, General Sierra at
tackled the advance line of the enemy's
army. General Vasquez' forces were
driven back after desperate fight, and
sierra's victorious troops pressed ON
toward Comaygua, from which point
General Vasquez is. conducting his oper-
ations. The siege of Comaygua has
already begun.
Meanwhile General Bonilla has es-
tablished the headquarters of the revo-
lutionary goverSment at Amopolla.
It is reported that President Eseta Of
San Salvador, has sent arms and rein
forcements from that republic to aid
General Vasquez, while strong force
of Nicaraguan troops is stationed along
the Honduras frontier, apparently
about to march to the assistance Of
General Bonilla. This leaves little
room for doubt that the whole of Cen
tra] America will become involved in
war.

THE PASSING OF PeAsE.

The REPUBLICAN has always con-
tended, when discussing the political
status of John M. Pease, that he had no
sincere principles but that he was actu-
ated solely and entirely by desire to
hold Office. Heleft the Republican party
because his merits did not receive the
recognition he thought them entitled
to, and he very naturally went into the
new political movement toward which
many of his ilk drifted-in fact, so many
OF them that after three years of per-
slstent officeseeking there they crowded
him out and he turns up as an active
aspirant for recognition at the hands Of
the Democratic party. His latest ap-
pearance as such aspirant-and that he
does so aspire can not be denied even
by his closest friends-more than justi-
hes THE REPUBLICAN in its continued
opposition to his leadership, an opposi-
that has made the editor of this paper
target for the lowest and meanest
sort of personal abuse from Pease and
his associates, has resulted in the too
common bluff of q libel suit, and has
actually furnished the Independent
managers with a great deal Of political
capital among their followers, who have
been led to believe that Pease was a
martyr in a good cause. In view OF
recent developments, therefore, we ask
the honest and sincere members of the
independent party in this county what
tha1>qeiwlly think of the patriotism, SIM
certify and good faith OF their once brave
leader? And as they gaze on his sup
plant figure at the feet of the victorious
Democracy, which he has attacked only
less fiercely than he has the Republican
party. will they not admit that The
REPUBLICAN, has had some reason for
attacking Pease's political integrity
other than Il mere personal dislike OF
the little chap? In short, wont our
Independent friends admit that The
REPUBLICAN has been fully vindicated;
even though he does not get what he
has gone to Washington for, and even
though he may come back to the state
and deny as OF yore that he ever asked

IDENTIFY fails to enjoy the picturesque
manipulations by which Aberdeens s
spinx has been making holy show of
the legislature.
Brer Wheelock fails to enjoy the
spectacle presented by any Republican
so far lost to sense of his relation to
the party as to try to use it for any pei
sonal ends, whether his name be Nc
Coy, Jones, Smith or Mud. Now that
the legislature has adjourned, how
ever, and the results OF its labors
are at hand we are strongly of the
opinion that much of the clatter
and gable printed in the Argus
Leader about schemes and schemers
had its origin in somewhat excitable
and decidedly partisan Imagination.

A I41,rTLE VENICE.

A Hundred Houses ut Kalamazoo
Partially Under Water.
KALAMAZOO, Mich, March 15.-The
Kalamazoo river is keeping upits record
with the other state rivers, and its
banks are flooded for half mile on
either side. One hundred houses are
surrounded with water. and there is q
little Venice on the East side. Many
small buildings have had to be anchored
and some have been swept away. The
Howlandsburg dam, which holds back
Gulf lake, has gone out. At Plainwell
the dam has gone out, and the Otsego
dam holds back lake covering 5000
acres. Great trouble is feared here as
the result of the greatly increased
volume of water from the heavy rain
which fell during the night.

THE GRAND RIVER.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, March 49,
The river is still rising, and is now at
the highest point reached in 42 years.
Scores of factories and mills have shut
down, throwing a large number of men
out Of employment. Over on the West
side 100 houses are surrounded by
water. A score of families have moved
out i'll boats and much suffering pre-
walls, as the weather has changed and a
blizzard is blowing. Confusing reports
have been received relative to the con-
dition of the river above here, but the
fact remains that the rise issteady here.

ANOTHER COLO WAVE.

A cold wave. which has been growing
in intensity since the 18th of March,
has come out Of Washington and it's
effect on the budding hopes of sundry
and divers self-sacri6cipg patriots all
over the country has been decidedly
disastrous. Its first manifestation, In
deed, was noticeable previous to that
date in the vicinity of Lakewood when
the President-elect gave it out unequi-
vocally that no applications for office
would be considered before inaugura-
tion. and that all premature pressure
would only operate to the prejudice Of
the parties bringing it to bear. The
chilliness grew with the appointment
of Judge Gresham to the highest posi-
tion in the cabinet, and as the several
cabinet officers settled themselves into
place the official mercury continued to
odown. The intimation that all COM
.etent Republican officials would be
allowed to serve out their terms, follow
ed by the declaration that no reappoint-
ments would be made, crowded the
temperature down to the zero point;
and when Postmaster-Gener Bissell
gave it out emphatically that no post
masters would be selected from among
men who were engaged in business of
their own, and Secretary Morton an
nounced his intention of retaining all
of Jerry Rusk's competent subordinates,
and Secretary Herbert decided to ad-
here to the civil service practices of
his predecessor it seemed as though the
bottom temperature had been reached.
But the following statement made by
Mr.. Cleveland himself no longer ago
than Saturday, according to the Wash
ington correspondent of the Chicago
Inter-Ocean, will force the officeseekers'
thermometer to completely obliterate
all former records. Mr.. Cleveland said to
caller who was urging the appoint
ment Of young editor to a foreign con-
sulate:
have been surprised to notice the
very large number OF newspaper men
who have made application for Office Of
one kind or another. remember that
during the recent campaign, and in fact
during almost the whole Of the last ad-
ministration, the Democratic newspa-
pers charged that in the appointment of
Whitelaw Reid, and several other
Journalists, Mr.. Harrison was attempt
ing to subsidize the press. Now, don't
you see that should be laying myself
open to precisely the same charges if I
were to honor all the drafts that have
been made upon me by newspaper men?
do not like the idea. either, which the
editors Of little papers all pverthe coun-
try seem to have; that they are entitled
to the Office of postmaster in their town.
] do not think there is much use in your
pressing your friends qualifications up
on me.
1t looks as though, in their intemper-
ate zeal to abuse Republican editors
who happened to hold Office, the breth-
rem OF the Democratic press had put in
to the hands of this later Sampson the
same old jaw bone with which he now
proceeds to slaughter their several am
billions.
