WHERE WAR is A PICNIC.

A Correspondent Describes tho Most Re
cent Central American Revolution.
A correspondent writing from Mica
ragua declares that war is q sweet and
peaceful pastime i'll that country.
AT the present time 1, 600 Nicaraguan
rebels are confronting the same number
of soldiers from Honduras who have in
vaded the republic to sustain tho presi-
dent. The two armies simply face each
other. They have no thought of fight
ing.
The soldiers are living in tho best
houses, and they have 7. their women
with them and do no work. Once q day
they fire off few cannon ut long range
and do no damage. Then they resume
their cigarettes and take nap. The
troops are delighted with the state of
affairs They like it better than work
ing ON the plantations, and they hope
that the merry war will continue for
ever.
The Nicaraguans love war and espe-
cially the kind of war they wage. On
hot days the soldiers take off their trou
sers and lounge about In the shade.
They smoke and drink and gamble to
their hearts content The only thing
that ever disturbs them .is an accidental
meeting with some Of the enemy. but
when this occurs both sides run away as
fast as their legs can carry them They
would not harm one another for any
thing.
The gentle Nicaraguans arc teaching
the world lesson. When other nations
adopt their methods Of war. armed con-
f1icts will cease to be a serious menace
to life and property. Atlanta Constitu-

fight on an electoral ticket in North
Carolina, the fight would be between
the Mckinley and the Democratic cleo
tors, with the odds all in favor of the
Democrats winning. He based this
opinion on the fact that in 1892, the
Democrats polled about 1875, 900, the Re
publicans a little over 100000, and the
Populists somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of $4,000. A reporter of the Post
quoted these figures to Senator Butler,
who expressed the opinion that there
had been many changes since 1892, and
added: 1T is generally admitted that
the party polling 100000 votes in n
