The San Juan r ver

In Nicaragua the San Juan winds along
between banks clothed to the water S
edge with feathery palms, tall cacoa
trees, cedars, bread fruits ferns. and
innumerable other varieties, from the
branches of which drop the hanging
nests of the crested orole, or vines with
their long tendrils trailing in the stream.
and supporting in their turn orchids and
other parasites of exquisite color and
indescribable forms. Overhead the
monkeys are jabbering their loudest, the
parrots and parroquets keep up an inces-
scant screeching, and the macaws, look
ins like floating fragments of rain
bow in the air. are vociferating for all
they know Then you may see the tou-
cans cooking their little heads to watch
you as you pass by Now and again a
beautiful bird of rich velvety black
hue, but with fiery red patch on its
tail, flies past. and humming birds. wood
peckers. and song birds uncounted, keep
the air alive and musical from morning
till night.
BY the banks congregate the cranes,
herons, and other water fowl, immersed
in phlosophic thought, until disturbed
and put to flight with a great whir of
wings by thes udden appariation of an
alligator'S open jaws above the surface
of the water. Or the wild pigs come
down to drink in droves of perhaps fifty
or more, and the chances are that one of
them-or the tenderest morsels of
one of them-will constitute the princi
pal dish at your next meal.
Here and there at wide intervals, ma
tive boats may be seen moored against
the banks, betokening the proximity of
an Indian settlement, which presently
shows on the higher land through a gap
among the trees; and groups of stark
naked children come trooping down to
the river at the heels of their fond par
ents, who bring fruits 10 barter, or even

Times and Santa Ana Herald Corrected
Editor Herald: Last Saturday even
ing, at the Y. NJ. c. A. auditorium. in
joint debate on the financial question,
the Progressive Literary Lyceum of
this city. representing bimetallism.
honestly and completely defeated the
Jefferson club Of Santa Ana, which en-
deavored to support Republican theo-
ries. The Santa Ana Daily Herald, a
Republican paper. in publishing its
statement of the controversy, quoted
the article published in the Times of
August 23d, which was on its face the
old policy of that paper to defame, rid
icule and vilify those who dare proclaim
the truth antagonstic to the Times.
That paper intimated that the decision
awarding the victory to the Progressive
and favoring independent action in Sc
curing bimetallism was obtained
through compliment to the fair ar
bitter" Kate Tupper Galpin, and because
of the fact that there was only one lady
on the committee of three judges, and
"one man may decide against a woman,
but two would not dare be SO ungallant.'
The Santa Ana Herald said: The Santa
Ana contingent accuses the Los Ange-
les free silver speakers of discriminate
ing in the distribution Of reserved seat
tickets. No admission fee was charged.
it being understood that the reserved
seats should be set apart for the friends
of the debaters. The boys now claim
that the free silver debaters abused this
privilege by securing the attendance of
an audience which was in sympathy
with their views and totally deaf to the
logic of the gold standard advocates.
The free silver auditors occupied the
front seats and were exceedingly liberal
with applause for their champions to
the detrment of those representing the
affirmative side of the argument"
The truth of the matter is, the Times
made but one Announcement of this
joint debate. and refused to give any
notice thereof on the day of its occur
renee. Reserved seats Were impartialy
distributed among the Forward Move
ment club, Y. NJ. c. A. Jefferson and
Progressive Lyceum members, and there
were still some reserved seats unoccu-
pied.
The following statement has been re-
ceived by Mr.. Hilliker from one of the
Santa Ana contingent" which COM
pletely vindicates the actions of our
speakers:
You will doubtless Os sUiiiu what sur
prised at the stateI..r of ths Santa

we'll have right to be. We are not re-
sponsible for its appearance, and we do
not make the charges it sets forth. We

Guardian TayIor,s Accounts

In the matter of the guardianship of
Annie e. Taylor, Judge Clark, in depart
ment two of the superior court, yesterday
made an order striking out items amount
ing to $64O of the account of Guardian
Taylor. This was case in which the
guardian failed to give the court an ac-
counting of his trust for some time. and
was finally ordered to do so by the court.
He then put in an account which showed
on its face that his ward was indebted to
him about $500. The court struck out
items for various charges. For instance,
anitem of $3.50 for board was blue-penciled
by the judge, as we'll as a number of items
which were for alleged expenses. but no
vouchers accompanied.
After Judge Clark had trimmed down
the account it showed that Guardian Tay-
lor owed his ward somewhere in the neigh
borhood of $40O. This Guardian Taylor
will have to pay or his bondsmen will be
sued.
1t is habit very common with parties
appointed to guardianships to render an
accounting only whom they see flt. Many
do not see fit to do 90 at all, and then when
cited by the court to do 90, they proceed to
make up an account that taiiies with the
amount of moneys they have received or
handled. But with accounts so made, as q
rule, no vouchers are submitted. This is.
of course, unsatisfactory, and causes
many items to be stricken out. II guar
dams accounts are not squared up his
hondsmen suffer.
