Gevenor Mcconnell has writ
ten William S. Lewis, of Albion,
who is interested in the normal
school respecting the bonds
voted at the recent session of the
legislature for tao institutions
there and at Lewiston. The
governor recites the reasons that
led him to veto the bill, setting
forth the various items of in
debtedness which, in his opinion
had threatened to carry the
state over the constitutional
limit. He states, however,, that
the courts may not hold that
warrants constitete indebtedness,
this being mooted question.
The governor, continuing
states that he will endeavor to
bring about a sale of the bonds,
adding that, if those desiring to
purchase them wish, they can
go into the courts and secure a
ruling ou the point in question.
OF course no one would pur-
chase the bonds if they did not
think them valid, but it seems
settled that this objection will
not be urged against the secur-
tiles by the dealers. lit should
and if the dealers should not
take enough interest in the
matter to secure a ruling some
one else who is interested could
bring the question up,-Boise
Statesman.

IHUMILIATING BLOOD DIS.
| EASES.

Illuminating blood diseases can be
cured. This is not theory; it is q
fact. Cures are being made every
day, though they are not made in a
day. The reason why 80 many suf.
fer without hope Is because they have
been 80 often induced to try impos
sible remedies. The man who saya
that a blood disease can be cured by
local application or operation is q
fraud. There is but one way; the
blood must be purified. When that
is done the disease disappears. The

AN ALLIANCE IS ON
Between the Several Small Coun-
tries of Central America.
WITH GUATEMALA As THE KEYSTONE.
This Union May. and Pro11abIy WIN. Affect
the Future of che PenInsuIa-It Is
Said tic States Have Assented
to the Agreement

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Private ad-
vices received from Guatemala yester-
day indicate that sensational develop
ments affecting. possibly the future of
Central America may be expected
within the next thirty days. These ad-
vices state that President Baraios. of
Guatemala has formed a secret alliance
with Costa Rica, looking to the forma-
tion of a union of all the Central Amer
ican states, with Guatemala exercising
the dominant influence in the new fed
Grafton. The first step in this program
will be the downfall of the present Bo-
nilla administration in Honduras and
the appointment of his successor in the
person of Marco Soto. This last named
gentleman is favorable to the PROPOSE
tion and il the plans are perfected so
that he may, by coup d'etat, assume
the presidents office, the assistance of
Honduras can be obtained in the plan
for federation of the five states and
Nicaragua aud Salvador will thus, it is
claimed, be compelled to join with the
other republics as a matter self-in-
tcrPst.
President Barrios, OF Guatemala, it is
said, is the more desirous of this new
alliance. inasmuch as at present Hon
duras, Nicaragua and Salvador are now
closely allied. This trio Of republics,
which are contiguous to each other,
forms a geographical wedge, so to
speak, being Guatemala on the north
and Costa Rico on the south. Without
the active cooperation of one of them,
it would be difficult for Guatemala
and Costa Rico to assume an offensive
attitude toward the remainder. The
withdrawal of Honduras from the
triple alliance and her cooperation
with the other republics would give to
the latter preponderance of power
the value of which it can be readily ap-
preciated. To what extent President
Barrios can carry this program can
only be conjectured, but it is believed
in Guatemala that he will succeed.
What renders his plan the more feast
bic is the hereditary enmity of lack of
comity-at least which exists between
Costa Rica and Nicaragua. Costa Rica,
it is said, delights to see her ancient
enemy, Nicaragua, humbled, as she
would necessarily be, if compelled per-
force to join Central American fedora
ton, the influence of which would be
friendly to Costa Rica.
Should Nicaragua, on the other hand,
decline to join the union, she would
still be at a disadvantage in that she
would enjoy none of the benefits which
would result from it. The situation,
therefore is profuse with significance
and future developments are awaited
with interest by the political traders in
all of the Central American states by
whom the facts seem to be well under
stood.
