An Interesting Fellow.

Gen, Barrios, president of Guatemala,
is a romantic character; not romantic
in the love story sense like Antonio Ezeta,
but in the heroic sense of the stories of
the buccaneers of the south seas. He is
a big boss in Central America. He die
tates not only in his own country, but in
two or three other republics" down
there, and always makes his ukases swell
his bank account He is the executive of
Guatemala and a kind of self-appointed
guardian of his neighbors. He has mixed
into the politics of all the Central Ameri-
can countries. He has made men who are
subservient to his will president in Sal
vador and Honduras. Though Nicara-
gua's president is under his thumb to
certain extent, he is willing, to make a
change there, and is fomenting revolution
which will not be long delayed
And at the same time he is stirring up
trouble to the north of him, with Mexico.
Recently he has had an engineer to sur
vey line cutting off a strip
of valuable Mexican mining ter
ritory in the states of Chipas
and Tabasco, and added them to Guate-
mala. The Mexican government has
taken official notice of the attempted
flching of territory. and may send an
army down to teach Mr. Barrios a needed
lesson. A Pittsburg man who is in Qua
temala City writes that an American COM
pahy is interested with Barrios in this
attempt upon Mexican property and that
a member of the company named Rock,
who is down there, may be severely dealt
with by the Mexican government if it
over gets its hands upon him.
Barrios. meanwhile, is following the
example of Balmaceda of Chile and lay
ing up riches abroad preparatory to the
time when he win be forced to get out.
For the last year he has been placing
money to his credit in the United States
and England. He even sent his wife
lately to San Francisco, whore she has
bought property. So. when he has to
leave his capital he will have money and
home. Journalists who oppose the gov
eminent are treated to the lash. and Bar
rios is surrounded by a horde of hired
rufiians, the Pittsburger says: and fur
Their, that he dissolves the constitutional
assembly whenever he pleases. and ar
rests any member who dares oppose him.
He has favorites who obtain any conces-
sions they want and money is lavished
on horse races, etc, while even the gov
eminent teachers have not been paid for
six months.
Barrios. it may be observed. is the ruler
Of one of those"prosperous free silver
countries that we hear so much about.
where gold is at a premium and the wage
Garner must take for his native money
whatever the person with whom he is
trading chooses to give him.

The TariF Question solved.

When James K. Polk ran for COVER
nor of Tennessee, about the year 1910"
said A. G. Selby, of that state, to the
Washington Post, against the Hon.
James c. Jones, the future president of
the United States got a licking. His sue
cessful opponent, who was Familiarity
known as Lean Jimmie JONES' wasn't
much of an orator and didn't make any
great pretensions to scholarship. but he
was a man of the people, and had a habit
of succeeding at the polls. During his
campaign with Polk for the governor
ship the latter, on the occasion of joint
discussion, made a long and exhaustive
speech on the tariff, which was credit
to his ability and. research, but was rather
prosy, somewhat wearying the crowd.
When Jones turn came to speak he paid
a compliment to Mr.. Folks address, but
dismissed the tariff in short order
My friends" he said, this tariff ques-
ton is not really the intricate matter it
has been represented; in fact it is as sim
pie as the alphabet. Now, what would I
do in regard to the tariff? Why, simply
this If the tariff is too high, I'd lower it
1t was such an easy solution of the mat
ter that the audience yelled tumultuously
and Lean Jimmie. carried the day."

The Republican Policy.

Cabot Lodge, in appealing to the Mas
sachusetts republicans. to renominate
Gov. Greenhalge-which had already been
decided on-said Nominate him as
you were wont to nominate Andrew in
the days of storm and strife. The time
is again ripe for such action and such
spirit. Then an armed south struck at
the nations life. Now an armed south
strikes at the nations prosperity" And
this disloyal attempt to rekindle sectional
bitterness by the old bloody shirt style
of appeal was permitted to pass unre-
buked by convention which had just
declared in its platform for devotion
paramount and supreme to the country
and the flag"

The Atlanta Constitution ascribes the
small democratic majority in Georgia to
'gold-bug bushwacking," by which it
means opposition to Secretary Smith
Congressman Turner and others to tho
cheap silver dollar craze, which It is fos-
tering. The Savannah News shows to the
contrary by citing the returns from the

Certain correspondents in Atlanta are

Smith and Congressman Turner by ad-
vocating on the stump the parity of the

"A protectionist paper named the Man
ufacturers' Gazette, published in Boston,
is booming Senator Walsh to succeed him
self in the Senate. The Gazette says: ITO
most of our readers it is not necessary for
us to recall to them the publicly expressed
views of this gentleman in the Senate
chamber and out of it, in support of a pro-
tective policy in the tariff laws of the
country" The senator's campaign mana
gers had better write a letter to this Bos-
ton protectionist publication and ask IL
TO quit. Mr.. Kolb of Alabama had the
friendship of some Boston protectionists.
and while there is not the slightest sug-
gestion of a parallel between Senator
Walsh and Mr.. Kolb southern democrats
view all Boston protectionists as being of
the same stripe, and laboring to the same
end.

There are said to be at least $4,000, 900
Of silver lying idle in the vaults of the
Mexican banks. At the same time there
is big premium on gold. Nobody wants
the silver; everybody wants gold. Mon
ey'-that is, silver-is plentiful, and as
cheap as anybody could desire; so cheap
that it takes two Mexican silver dollars
to pay for one dollar of United States
gold. which in this country can be had
in equal exchange for an American silver
dollar. The Mexican kind of silver money
is the money the free silverites wish
american wage earners to have.

Louisiana's Sugar Districts.
From the New Orleans Picayune Oem.

The evidence points strongly to the
certainty that democrats will be elected
in the First and Second districts As
for the Second, nothing can be predicted,
because of the fact that no candidate
has been agreed on; but there is no rea-
son to doubt that in the First and Third
the democrats will carry the day. The
rash movement of the sugar planters is
not approved by the majority of the peo-
pie, and not even by the planters them
selves. In the First and Third districts
democratic Victories are assured.

The National Farmers Congress, at
Parkersburg. w. Va, confined it's ap-
peals to Congress to requests for laws
restricting the liquor traffic and immigra-
ton. All resolutions relating to finance,
the tariff and other subjects which serve
a hearing, which leads to the belief that,
instead of being held up as a martyr by
every scarecrow party that springs into
existence, what the great American
farmer most desires is to be let alone by
the politicians.

Senator Blanchard of Louisiana accom-
panied Congressman Wilson to Europe,
and returned to this country with him
the other day. The senator will at once
enter into the Louisiana campaign, in the
interest of straight democracy. If the su-
gar-planters of the state persist in advo-
eating the election of republican repre-
sentatives they will find Senator Blan-
chard opposed to them, although he was
ready enough to serve them as demo-
crat in the Senate 1t must be regarded as
significant that all the men who fought in
the interest of the sugar-growers during
the last session of congress are actively
engaged now in opposing the revolt of the
Louisiana sugar men. If the revolt were
as important as the republicans affect it
must be considered remarkable that none
of the men who have proved themselves
friends of the sugar-growing industry in
public life will have anything to do
with it,

The Crown of the Year.
Celia Thaxter.


In sapphire, emerald, amethyst
Sparkles the sea by the morning kissed;
And to the mists from the far-off valleys
lie
Cleaning like pearl in the tender sky;
Soft shapes of cloud that melt and drift
With tints of opal that glow and shift
For the strong wind blows from the warm
south west
And ruffles the snow on the white gulPs
breast
Fills all the sails till the boats careen:
Low over the crested waves that lean,
Driven to leeward, dashed with spray,
Or beating up through the beautiful bay.
All. happy morning of autumn sweet.
Yet ripe and rich with the summers heat,
By the ruined wall on the rocky height,
In shadow | gaze at the changing light,
Splendor of color that clothes thee
around
Huge orb of the earth to its utmost
bound.
Near me each humble flower and weed
The docks rich umber, gone to seed,
The hawkbits gold, the bayberry's spice,
One late wild rose beyond all price,
Each Is a friend. and all are dear,
Pathetic signs of the waring year
Tho painted rose haws, how they glow!
Like crimson wine the woodbines show;
The wholesome yarrow's clusters fine
Like frosted silver dimly shine:
And who thy quaintest charm shall tell,
Thou little scarlet pimpernel?
The jeweled sea and the deeps of the air.
All heaven and earth are good and fair
Ferns at my feet and the mullein's spiIxe.
And soaring gull, l love alike;
With the schooners grace as she leans to
the tide
The soul within me is satisfied.
In the mellow, golden, autumn days
When the world is zoned in their purple
haze,
A spirit Of beauty walks abroad
That fills the heart with the peace of God
The spring and summer may bless and
cheer
But autumn brings us the crown o. the
year.
