planted on our shores the Christian faith.

| The State of Maine loses one of its old
est editors in the death of Hon. Albert
Moore of the Union Advocate. He was a
man of intense convictions and strong
and vigorous writer. He stood well in
the forefront of the Democratic newspa-

will find it difficult to replace him.
Aside from politics Mr.. Moore was one
of the most catholic of men, devoted
friend and a good neighbor. The Jour
nal extends to the members Of his family,
in this their great bereavement, its sim

opponent for whom we always had an
honest respect and q citizen whom we
held in high esteem.

CENTRAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Course of United States ON the Monroe
Doctrine Watched With Interest.

CHICAGO, Ill.,, Sept. 2.-Mr. John Rice
Chandler, the correspondent of the As
sociated Press in Guatemala, arrived di-
rect from that countryto day and he was
requested to make frank statement OF
the situation in Central America, now
that he is on American soil.
Mr.. Chandler has been in the service
of the United States government in Cen
trai and South America for several years
and is acquainted with the situation and
can speak intelligently. He says:
sThere is a general belief that Central
Americans are always at war or on the
eve of revolution. Recently this belief
has apparently been backed up by the
telegraphic reports of several journals
in the United States In truth, four of
the five Republics, are to-day apparently
quiet. The fifth, Salvador, has had some
riots recently due to the connivances of
Ezeta, headed by Gen. Antonio Ezeta, who
is now in San Francisco, trying to organize
a filibustering expedition with American
capital. Nevertheless, the party in
power with Gen. Guitterez at its head,
has the good will of majority of peo
pie and it may be difficult to GUST him.
The other republics are doing their best
to build up the national credit and keep
all turbulent elements in their places.
Guatemala has been without revolution
for some twenty years, and there has
been absolute peace during that period
with the exception of war in 1890
with Salvador which lasted two months.
Zone of the vital questions in Central
America today, is naturally the Monroe
doctrine, and the course the American
government may pursue in sustaining it.
The Central Americans throughout, be
lieve that no other nation but the United
States can and should build the Nicara-
guam Canal and the one hundred mil
lions which it may cost will be amply
paid for by the obtaining of a majority
of South. American commerce, especially
that on the Pacific side, imports and ex
ports having been calculated about two
millions per annum

ing Democrats in Cincinnati tells me
that Hamilton county will send fourteen
Democrats to the Legislature. If that
prediction proves to be true we will
surely have the Legislature for Brice.
Let me say again that the Democrats
were never so harmonious and earnest,
and the Republicans have never been so
at loggerheads.

of Isaac Calm, the millionaire who
was indicted for beating his two
daughters, is c~alendared to come
up before Recorder;Goi today. CABIN
lived with his daughters on Fifty
eighth street. In an action which
they brought to compel him to
support them it was developed
that he had abused and beaten
them.
In the fall of 1893 it was learned
that the two daughters, the one
nineteen and the other twenty-five,
had been forced to fly from the
house, and had been sheltered and
cared for by David Mayer, the rich
brewer, who lived next door, at
No. 1913 Fifth avenue. The two
young women, who were refined
and clever, were in terrible physi-
cal condition. They had evidently
been subjected to the most brutal
treatment. They are emaciated,
haggard, and in a state bordering
upon nervous collapse.
