Is Baker. United States minister to

department extracts from the annual
message to Congress OF President Ze-
luya. to indicate the excellent financial
standing Of Nicaragua and the mater
Inl progress made during the year. The

the treasury when he assumed onlce,
now reports that he has pail or $5i9.-
379. OF the foreign dret which now
amounts to but 2SS,000 pounds at per
cent, having twenty years 10 run, and
has also paid 50, 1886 OF the domestic
debt, and retains SI13,l79 In the treas
ury. AZ this rate Fhe republic would
be free OF debt inside of three years.
The only reference TO the canal con-
ceSSIon In the presidential message ~
the following paragraph:
at has been n lamentable error do

nature has given US to connect our
selves with the Atlantic ocean, so that

give us the material possession OF that
rich part OF the Atlnuitlc const In which
Nlcarnguans have so many interests.
But this does not mean to shy thus We
ought to leave the river san Juln
alone. We are obliged to do everything
In our power to construct that pr!nel-
pal artery Of the commerce and thn
most valuable possession MIXTURE has
given US"
The President also takes credit TO
himself for having re-opened and bet
'tereI the public schools closed by Ills
predecessor.

Sarah NJ. II. Gardner, in The New Bohe-
milan.
The light on the mountain falls uslant.
The birds I'm the bush are stilll
The cricket chirps In the pasture plant
When the cows come over the hill.
The swallows circle about tho caves,
pale star mounts the sky.
The squirrels rustic the golden sheaves
When the cows are passing by.
Over the valley the shadows creep,
Dark ming the green OF the nine;
Down In the garden the honeybces sleep,
Missing the breath OF the kline.
The tinkle OF bells is sweet to my ear.
But Eweeter the words OF n song
That the singer Is slowly bringing near
As she follows the cows along.
She sings OF lover whose faith Is fast
Wherever his footsteps ronm:
And her cheek grows red when we meet
at last,
As the cows are nearing home.

there was big attendance of workers
and voters when the word go was

the afternoon wore on these complaints
grew louder and more freQuen,, and
bv five o'clock the workers for Motfat,
TAYLOR and Travis on the outside were
swearing mad and proclaiming TO every
one who would listen 20 them that 1t
was no use to try to do anything with
the odds AGAINST them inside the polling
place. Editor Hart of the lntelhgen-
Ger. called at the Peterman polling

some of the workers TO get in every vote

were S15 votes i'm at Pe-erman's, and
the indications were for four hundred

At NcGanrOn's precinct the most no
riceable feature was the number Of
Richards workers at the star. and they
aid not grow less in numbers as the day
wore on. At $40 there was but one
NIoffat worker az the poll. and he told

were having things their own way, so
far as County Court was concerned,
and the surface indications carried out
the claim. At five o'clock there were
decided indications of q fight, but the
belligerent was grabbed before he
could do any damage, and gotten out of
the way. A good many Second ward
cOlored men were about this poll all
during the afternoon, and there was a
grim suspicion that some OF them had

The number of workers about the poll
was not less than tweAty in the early

was one hack at the poll all day, but it
stood idle most OF the time being used

There was a hot finish in this district,
with one hundred and twenty-five peo-
PIE about the polls. The total number
of votes was SOC. The vote for Dow

struggle here reminded one of the days
of Aud Lang Syne" when an open
ballot and the free and easy, go-as-you-
please elections prevailed. Beer was
very much in evidence, and in the sa-
looms near by the bar-tenderS were kept
on the jump to supply the thirsty
crowds. When a candidate made his
appearance at the polls he was greeted
with a shout OF applause, followed by
a general Misunderstanding and then gen
eral "licker-up" and heres to you
seance took place.
During the afternoon the various can
didates Except two or three visited the
polls and enthused all the vigor at their
disposal into their well paid 'heelers, -
with the hope of increasing their
chances of success.
The only diversion worthy or note
was the angry discussion which sprang
up at the upper city precinct relative to
the alleged coalweighing swindle that
had been sprung on one of the candi-
dates a couple of weeks ago.

The polling place in the new Pythian
Castle could not have been more suit
ably adapted for the purpose, as it was
tbs most central location. Fifteen
minutes after the polls had been opened
q street car, coming up Twenty-seventh
street, crashed into Candidate C. d.
Thompson's buggy, wrenching the
wheel, causing little breeze of excite
ment
The voting during the first four hours
was on an average of two ballots per
minute, figuring up four hundred and
SiXty-two in the time named. III in the
first hour, 100 in the second hour, 125
in the third hour ranging on this ra-
ito during the seven hours that the polls
were open The various candidates
for Office had at least eighty workers
30. while Travis had % men and the
Moffat, Taylor and Caldwell workers
ranged from 10 to 10 men each. Every
candidate of the As on the Webster dis
trict ticket was represented by work
ers, who went so far as to get men
from their sick beds 10 cast their vote
Combinations were formed consisting OF
Richards and MeGick and Taylor and
Boyce and Moffat and Wheat in order
TO poll large vote for the respective
candidates. A wild rumor. was set
afloat at one o'clock that the Travis
men were trading Meyers for Attorney
but when the latter put in his appear
ance and moved about with the boys
some little time this scheme fell
through. Boyce and Garvin men were
on the alert during the entire day
The principle bone of contention in
the district was the county commission
ership, for which the grand old man"
who sacrificed his time and money
when the cause of the protectionists
was considered hopeless in the Sixth
was not permitted 20 run, owing to the
desires OF Messrs. John Hess and Ed
ward Bender, the present Councilmen
from Webster, who deserved promotion
for marching in several Republican pro-
cesslOns on rainy nights and for this
the grand old man" had TO take a
back seat 10 await a better day. The
contest between Hess and Bender was
furious and bitter. both men being at
the polls hustling during the entire day.
For the position OF School Commission
er some loud remarks were heard
against several OF the candidates. .
