In Chicago a sharp fight is going on to
determine whether E. Benjamin Andrews
shall or shall not be the superintendent Of
public schools. Mr.. Andrews is a believer
in the free coinage Of silver at the ratio
of 16 to l, and the fight turns upon the
silver question. Not a great deal of
thought seems to be given TO the purpose
of the schools, to instruct the youth OF
the city in useful knowledge. The schools
are being used for political purposes by
pro- and anti-free silver factions.

gudgeon she must think mel" Aloud he simply said, How should I know"
 "Oh,'' I replied, innocently, 1T thought you might have faint idea. Of course you couldn't know positively"
 Well, there are men who want to take Gutierrez's place in the chair ot the President, and, perhaps, one ot them hired him. Most likely the man who will head the revolution"
 Then he went on to tell me that the students were playing the principal roles in stirring up the revolution They did not realize that Gutierrez was not responsible for the condition of affairs. They are young and hot blooded and anxious to have their first chance in a revolution.
 General Gutierrez should thoroughly understand how to cope with the new revolutionists, for he was leader of the last revolutionary party that suc- ceeded in overthrowing President EZeta.
 Although the presidents of the Central American republics are supposed to be elected every four years by popular vote, the small matter of law is over looked and the President retains the office as long as he sees fit or until some other man is strong enough to Oust him. The important question Is then settled by a revolution, the leader of the winning side taking the Presi- dency and thus saving the people the trouble of casting votes.
 General Gutierrez, it Is believed, was influenced purely by patriotic motives when he headed the revolution against the Ezetas. It Is said they had been using, or rather misusing, their power toward private ends, making conces- sions in return for financial consi0era- tions, etc.
 A band of forty men met one night in Santa Anna, elected Rafael Antonio Gutierrez leader, gathered a thousand recruits, and stormed the Government stronghold. The Ezetas had heard mutt terings of the coming storm. had pre- pared themselves. and had forced into their army twenty thousand recruits. These men were duly armed and or dered to Santa Anna It looked as though General Gutierrez would be powerless to match his little band against such apparently formidable odds.
 But it is one thing to lead horse to water and another thing to make him drink. Of the 10000 Government re- cruits ordered to Santa Anna not 5OC obayed. The men took their arms and

 FROM PRESIDENT GUTIERREZ LETTER ON THE APPROACHING REVOLUTION

However, fear they will not wait for the election. but use force of arms to shorten my term.
 Notwithstanding that my enemies are convinced that do not crave for power, that do not seek reelection and that uphold and always shall up- hold the principle of rotation in office, yet the offce-seekers and boodlers are so anxious that they cannot wait until my term naturally expires.
 For this reason 1 expect an uprising at any moment, but when they strike they will find me fully prepared, for l will not submit to being forcefully ejected.
 Right and justice are on my side and they had best beware.

drifted off to their various homes.
 General Gutierrez and his followers easily captured the fort. took posses sion of the ammunition and made short work of all opposition
 When the Ezetas were busted 1t was naturally supposed that Gutierrez would step into the vacant Presiden- tial chair. The victor, however, dis claimed any wish to be President, much to the surprise of everybody. AS far back as the memory of the oldest Central American went there had never been a man who had ever headed a revolution except to gain power Tor himself.
 Gutierrez, the victor, like Cincin- natus of old, wanted to return to his coffee plantation and spend his life in peace and in rural pursuits. At least he said so.
 He suggested two of his generals as best fitted to assume the responsibii- ties of the high office.
 But on all sides the cry went up: "Gutierrez! Gutierrez must be Pres dent!'
 It was finally decided that for year he should be dictator and he accepted the trust. The revolutionists declare it was the old trick of Caesar being of fered the crown. At any rate to most of his countrymen Gutierrez proved
  oughly just and honest, and brave in battle But time proved he was not fitted to cope with the baseness and intrigue of the Government depart ments.
 At the end of the year of dictator ship he was proclaimed President in spite of low mutterings of discontent. At first they were almost inaudible, but soon they swelled to chorus that went rumbling up and down the land. Gutierrez discovered that each year swelled the list of his enemies alarm ingly. At the head of the discontented now are the merchants, especially those who love a President that in- clines for a consideration to wink at smuggling An honest President means smaller profits for such merchants. Then some of the office-holders at pres ent are carefully watched to prevent their filling their private pockets with public money. Added to these are the regular starved office-SeekerS, to whom a change in government is hailed as a chance for another lease of easy going life.

But before I could carry out my resolution to run for the door the bland senor recovered himself, . and suavely assured me that he was here for his health But" he added. with an ahem, 'I have heard that there IS a gentleman here on such business as you are pleased to mention"
 And this gentleman when he has purchased the ammunition will he go back to fight in the revolution?" I queried.
 +'He will go back to Salvador as- suredly, but he will not take an ac- tive part in the revolution
 T should think if he were heart and soul in the cause he would wish to fight"
 My dear senorita, his duty Is to at- tend to the business part of the affair. Besides he might get killed, and that would prevent his being of any use in the next revolution. Of course he Is always taking great risks because if the other side once get suspicious of his real business they would kill him. They would what you call assassinate him"
 What are his reasons for allying himself with the revolutionists?
 Its a matter of business. A mer- chant sells his goods to the highest bidder. This man manages the bust ness details of a revolution for the side that pays him best"

 Gutierrez! He is fool, because he has no business sense. But he IS good fighter He is too honest for those people down there. No, this agent speak to you of is not opposed to Gu tierrez personally. Only, you see, the revolution gives him a chance to make some business for himself. It pays; you understand"
