RAISING THE SMART MONEP.
Increase of the Bitter Feeling IN Mica
rGgHG against England.

MANAGUA, NICARAGUA, May s.
There is no longer any doubt that Great
Britain will receive her smart money on
time. The 915,0OO sterling to be paid by
Nicaragua to Great Britain has been raised
here by popular donations. Three Ger
man merchants have given about $4,000
and the whole amount will be ready in
London in few days. The raising of the
money, however, has only increased the
feeling in Nicaragua against Great Britain,
and the feeling is now very bitter indeed
more so, if possible, than when the British
troops landed at Corinto. The general
opinion seems to be that the Central
American republics will form combination
possibly secret, against Great Britain, and
that everything possible will be done to
exclude British goods from Central
America. This feeling will probably re-
suit in commercial gain to the United
States.

EXTENDING THE ORDER.
Questions of AffiIiating With
the Various Political
Parties.
DIVERSITY OF SENTIMENT.
Canadians Out In Full Force and
Claiming Credit for Work
Accomplished.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 8.-The sew
enth annual session of the Supreme Coun-
Gil of the American Protective Association
began to-day in Liberty Hail. The dele
gates number in the vicinity of 400 and
the greatest interest seems to prevail.
From what can be learned of the problems
which are vexing the delegates it is prob
able that the session will be a very i'm
portant one.
The order is now semi-political and it
has exerted its influence in conventions
and at the ballot-box. Some of its mem
bers favor coalition with any of the exist
ing political parties which will come out
openly and advocate the principles of the
A. P. A.
Another faction would have a separate
political party on strictly a. P. A. plat
form. Still another wing Of the associa-
ton fayors publicity and would do away
with all secret work. 1t is also limited
that the free silver question may cut q
figure during the session. From this it
will be seen that unless the leaders are ex-
ceedingly judlcious there will be made
breaches to repair. The opinion seems to
prevail that the separate party proposition
will not succeed but nothing definite can
be learned at this time as to the other
mooted questions.
Probably the most important step to be
taken by the association will be the
adoption of an international constitution
and declaration of principles and the ex-
tension of the order to all parts of the
world, creating thereby what will be known
as the Supreme Council of the world. This
question has been under consideration for
some time, and the report of a special COM
mittee of ten. appointed year ago, will be
submitted. Five members of the COM
mittee are Canadian members and five are
members from the United States. The
chairman is Colonel H. f. Sellers of De-
troit, who will report the draught of new
constitution, which will be the present
constitution of the A. p A., so modified
that it will have international scope.
The Canadian delegates are here as dele
gates to the committee meeting only, but
if the report is adopted they will be ad-
mitted to full fellowship. A member of
the committee from Canada says that there
are now more than 100000 A. P. AS in
Canada and that they have practically
controlled elections in the Dominion for
two years.
The opening session was called to order
with some $50 of the expected 400 or 450
delegates present, the others being ex-
pected to arrive during the day and
evening.

EAU CLAIRE, Wis, May 8.-Judge
Bailey to-day sentenced the embezzler.

way to suppress such cases of embezzle-
ment was to strike at the root of the public

lies than the civil war, yet it was Endorsed

EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY.
The Natural Progress Through the
Three Decades.

The Natural Progress Through the
Three Decades.
Taking the whole number of persons en-
gagged in all remunerative or gainful occu-
pations, find that in 1860 such persons
constituted 26.19 per cent of the whole
population. In 1870 this percentage had
increased to 32.43, in 1880 to 34.68, while in
1890 it was 1851, an increase of more than
10 per cent relatively in one generation,
the period from 1860 to 1890. This, it
should be borne in mind, is the percent
age of the total number of persons en-
gagged in gainful occupations of the total
population, writes Carroll D. Wright in
the Forum. If we examine now the per-
centage which this total number of per-
sons engaged in all gainful occupations is
of the persons 10 years of age and over,
which is the truer comparison, we find
that the increase has been as regular but q
little greater, for in 1860 it was 36.72 and
in 1890 47.95, an increase of over IL per
cent relatively in the thirty years named.
This fact alone, 1t seems to me, answers
conclusiyely and definitely the question we
are considering. If the total number of
persons engaged in gainful occupations
stood still relative to the population the
argument would not be so clearly carried
but with a.constant and persistent increase
in the relative proportions of this class of
people to the whole number of population,
and to the whole number 10 years of age
and over, there can be no other answer
than an affirmative one. These figures
prove conclusively that we are not only
making real progress toward greater OPP
portunity, but toward greater equality of
opportunity in social and industrial life;
and they completely kill all arguments
made to prove that machinery-the in
huence of invention-displaces labor, SO
far as society as whole is concerned.
1t would be absurd to argue for single
moment that the introduction of machin-
cry has not in many instances displaced
individuals and reduced them not only to
relative poverty but to pauperism.
The answer cannot well be made to the
individual, but the facts cited prove that so
far as the whole body of the people is con-
cerned there is no such displacement; and
study of the expansive influence of ma
chinery and invention by the statistical
method further proves the value of the
argument. The vast number of new open-
ings, never known before, resulting from
inventions offers the best proof in this
direction, and it offers, too, proof that one
line OF opportunity will be abandoned
when another of a more profitable nature
opens.

CHICAGO, ILL, May S.-William R.
Morrison, chairman of the Interstate Com
merce Commission, was asked his opinion
of the decision of Judge Brown denying
the application for the removal of Coils
P. Huntington to California, under an in
dictment recently found against him for
an alleged violation Of the interstate COM
merce law, and said;
"The Judge is the authority in such
cases. We have no authority above his
decision. Still it would seem that the act
OF giving the free pass was transportation
as far as the president of the road is con-
cerned. Huntington is safe from trial now
unless he should go back to California.
Even then the court there may have the
same opinion as Judge Brown and the in
dictment may be quashed."

as provided by law, and costs.
The complaint recites, amid much legal
verbiage, that the pretended claim pre-
sented by them was not a legal one
against the county, and that the Super
VisOrs exceeded their authority in allow
ing ii.
A similar suit has been filed against
the Southern Pacific Company, the Cali
fornia Pacific Railroad Company, the
California State Bank and the Anglo
California Bank for the return of Sl5,0 900
In payment of q claim for an apprOpria-
ton tor an overhead roadway on the
new bridge across the Sacramento River,
to be built by the California Pacific Rail-
road Company, and 20 per cent. damages
and costs.
The complaint says that the claim was
for work not performed nor completed,
was not verified as required by law, was
not legally cbargeable against the county,
and that the Supervisors exceeded their
jurisdiction and power in ordering it
paid.
1t further states that the county re-
ceived no consideration for the money,
and that it was the duty of the Supervis-
Ors to disallow the claim, but that on De-
cember Il, 1898, they made an order for
its payment, which was null and void,
and that all who handled the warrant had
due notice that IL was not the property of
the county and was null and void.
Similar suits were also filed against L.
S. " achhorst, to recover $1,000 drawn on
warrants for services in the County
Clerks office: II. T. Cohn, for S2,40O
drawn on warrants for services rendered
in the Auditor and Recorders office and
