President Burrios was IL man of wide
attainments and marked executive abil-
ity. He was comparatively young, being
only ~ years old. The six years term
of service for which he was elected terlni-
nntcd March ID next. but the national
congressional assembly already had en-
tended this term for IL further four years.
The new president, Mr.. Cabrera, is IL
man of prominence in Guatemala, and is
one of two chosen by the congress to ill
the presidency in ease of n vacancy. The
system of the country is different from
that in the United States, there being no
vice-prcsidcnt elected with the president.
The duty of filling the executive chair de-
wolves OIL the congressional branch, and
accordingly two vice-prcsiden1s, first and
second. We're designated some time ago,
They are eligible i'll the order of their
choice. When the excitement of the tra-
gcdy las passed II presidential election
may be held.
The assassination of President Rarrios
probably is due To the revolutionary feel
ing which has been growing in Guatemala
ever since he declared himself dictator
last June. One of the first acts of the
rebels was the assassination of the pres
idrnt's brother in San Jose. and the muir
der of the wife of the jefc politico of
Quezaltenango. Following closely on
these two crimes came the capture Of
Plaza San Marcos by the rcvolutionists
To the dissatisfaction since President
Rarrios proclaimed himself dictator the
bad financial condition of the country M
der his rule has added fuel to the flames
of discomfort. The dead dictator had
been straining every effort to restore
peace and harmony, but had been thwart-
ed by all assassin.

Wages Go Up.

AS the result of the new Diurlcy Dro-
tcctive tariff, there has been IL gradual
and pretty general advance in wages to
the workingmen of the country. both
by the enhancement of the rate of
wages and by the increased stcadincss
of employment. Some few industries.
owing to peculiar circumstances, have
failed to fare thus f%avorably. but the
tendency has been upward, in wages.

Findlay has just fairly begun to prof
it by the reawakening under the new
tariff. but Improvement is coming to her

have just been accorded an increase in

This is IL restoration of Mckinley

FALSE THEORY.

A very prominent colored Bap-
tist minister, in this city, and who
is well known to the editor of this
paper, IN his discourse a few Sun-
day mornings ago, among other
things said, that "women dressed
to catch men. - Such a remark
has double meaning, and from
what we believe, is a reflection on
females. This same individual
takes more pains to dress himself
in the latest fashion than any
woman we know. The great
trouble with colored ministers is,
that tney are continually meddling
with things that do not concern
them. We would suppose that a
minister would advise his congre.
CATION to dress; but, perhaps these
advocates of such false theory
are of the opinion that their rations
would be cut off. Colored ministers
should talk about other things, and
allow the women to do their dress
ing and other things that are not
immoral.
Does the minister with his long
Prince Albert coat, fancy necktie,
linked cuffs and gold sleeve but
tons, dress to catch the girls? Take
care, brother.
