autonomy in all internal matters, but
the foreign interests Of the five re-
publics are to be identical and diplo-
matte representatives are appointed by
the central power, or greater republic.
Before discussing the main points of
the treaty of union, it might be well to
ascertain something about the strength
ard population OF the states constitut-
ing the new nation.
Costa Rica, the southernmost of the
five republics, has population of 243,-
PCS and an area of 22,99G miles. Its cap
ital is the city of San Jose. The coun-
try was discovered by Columbus in 1902,
and declared its independence from
Spain in 1921.
Guatemala. the largest and most i'm
portant of the group, became an indie
pendent state in 1921, and formed part
OF the Central American confederation
from 1923 to 1847, when it was estab-
lished as an independent republic. Its
area is 46,S00 square miles and its pop
ulation numbers 1,460,017.
Honduras was discovered by Colum
bus in 1902, and soon afterward became
a Spanish province. From 1924 to 1889
it formed part of the Central American
union; and has since been independent.
It's population is estimated at 100000
and its area at 46,4CO square miles.
Nicaragua was also discovered by Co.
lumbus. 1t proclaimed its independ-
ence in 1921, and from 1924 to 1899 was
member of the Central American union.
Since 1910 it has had an independents eX-
istence. It's area is estimated at 10000
square miles and its population at $780,
600. The capital of Nicaragua is Mana
qua, one of the most interesting cities
IN Central America.
Salvador is the smallest, but most
thickly populated of the five republics.
1t has large foreign trade in coffee,
sugar, indigo and balsam of Peru. 1t
declared Independence from Spain in
1921, and from 1924 to 1889 formed part
of the Central American federation.
It's population is about 775,OO0 and its
area 1855 square miles.
Together the five states have, in
round numbers, population Of $685.
coo and an area Of 1851 square miles.
1t is doubtful If any other part
of the globe is as rich in agri-
cultural and mineral resources.

able to establish government

The executive power of the new re-
public is vested in an executive council,
the head of which will have the title
of president, the presidents of the eX-

consist Of two delegates from each

One of these will be appointed minister
OF state by the president and will be

About midnightSaturdaynight officer
Baker was informed that man was ly-
ing in the rear yard at Kate Smiths on
Second street, with an attack of heart
disease and requested him to procure
physician.
Baker investigated and finding the
man in pretty bad way notified Dr.
Keever who went down and brought
the fellow around after some minutes.
The man was sober. He said his
name was Longley and that he was
city detective at Marietta. He had
been sitting down in that nei5hbor-
hood talking with the friend who was
with him when he was seized with the
attack, and staggering across the alley
laid down on the grass in the yard
where he was found.
About 8 o'clock DR.. Keever was

party. This time he was at boarding

right of petition and peaceful assem-
bly,; the right of self-defense; free,

freedom of abode. liberty of travel and
the right to leave property by will,
The treaty is to go into effect as soon
as any two states ratify it. The first
president will take Office on September
IS. Honduras, Nicaragua and Saliva
dor being already united, the new
union may be considered as firmly es-
tablished. Costa Rica will probably
join the federation before the 18th Of
September; and, although President
Barrios, of Guatemala, is opposed to
joining the union, that state will un-
questionably become a member as soon
as that dictatorial gentleman day of
power is over, the treaty providing that
state may come into the greater re-
public at any time.
How long this new government may
live is another question. Central Amer
lea has always been the hotbed of revo.
lutions, scarcely Il year passing which
does not witness a political upheaval in
one or the other of the five republics.
The provisions of the treaty are loose
ly drawn, and so little power is grant
ed to the central government that its
overthrow and the dissolution of the
federation could be accomplished at
short order. However, the naughty pol
iticians of Central America have been
taught so many lessons within the
rast decade by the United States, Great
Britain and other powers, that they
may have concluded to conduct their
affairs decently and in order here
after. At any rate, the union is well
coined by the people of the United
States, who have, whenever possible
cspoused the cause of the five republics
composing it. Yet it would seem that
had Central America sought political
union with the republic of Mexico, it
would have benefited itself far more
Mexico is strong nation, which, un-
der the administration of President
Diaz, has won the respect of the world.
Geographically and ethnologically the
two countries belong to each other,
and the incorporation of Central Amer
lea with the Mexican republic would
give the Spanish-American element a
standing which would assure its rapid
progress, politically and CONNER
cially. G. W. wEIPPIERT,
