CENTRAL AMERICAN TROUBLES.
Guatemala Might Ally Herself With
Costa Rica.

Costa Rica.
In the event Of a war between NIcara qua
and Costa Rica. it is said that the alliance
known as the Greater Republic would give
to Nicaragua the armed strength of Sal
vador and Honduras. The Nicaraguan
army is estimated at about 5000 men. Sal
vador has not more than 5000 soldiers, but
Honduras has the best drilled and equipped
force in Central America, numbering $1,000
men. Against these the Costa Rican army
of about 5000 seems insignificant. But in
the present calculations it is thought that
Guatemala would cast her influence with
Costa RIGA. Guatemala has an army OF
about $4,000. In this event the forces
would be about evenly matched, with Mica
ragua, Honduras and Salvador arrayed
against Guatemala and Costa Rica. The
basis for the view that Guatemala may be
drawn into the controversy is the fact
that the new president of Guatemala, Senior
Estrada Cabrera, was a special envoy to
Costa RIGA when the latter country was
in former conflict with other Central
American states. At that time Guatemala
was looked upon as the ready ally of Costa
RIGA, and 1t Is thought that Cabrera would
again incline to the same alliance.

robbery. The county commissioners have

Black, who has charge of the water de-

Mr.. Green. the new water registrar, was
born in Georgetown some fifty-odd years
ego, and has always resided in the District.
He comes Of a well-known family, and his

in the revolutionary war at the battle of
Germantown, was subsequently appointed
clerk Of the old Circuit Court of the Dis
trict, remaining so until his death, after
having been appointed a brigadier general
by the Maryland legislature. Mr. Green
was appointed to position in the District
water department in September. 1886. and
in the absence of the incumbent of that
office. He is said to be thoroughly familiar
with the requirements and duties of the
position, and his appointment caused uni
versal satisfaction at the District building,
particularly among his associates in the
water department.

The speech delivered at Indianapolis
by Albert J. Beveridge will be read all
over the country. 1t can hardly be
called an GRAFTON, and yet the simple
ity of its language and the force Of its
arguments make it most eloquent.
His contrast CT the condition of the
country today and that OF two years
ago forms pair of the most striking
pictures ever presented to the people
The force of all he says will BE- imme-
diately recognized By the people them
selves, but it sometimes takes vigor-
Gus language to stir the memory OF
busy men intent upon the work they
have in hand.
The people need, to be reminded that
President Mckinley Is not an enemy
against whom they must keep up a
suspicious watch, nor an offender upon
trial. He Is the representative and
the embodiment Of the whole American
people. His utterances and his acts
are regarded all over the world as
those of the American people. An cleo
ton at this time Is the only means by
whic., the American people can mani
fest their agreement with or antagon-
ism to the course he is pursuing. Is
it not reasonable that II the country
should send to congress members OF
the house of representatives or OF the
senate who are ayowedly opposed to
him and all that he represents, foreign
powers who are incensed at the sue
cesses of our arms should rejoice at
the discontinue of the president?
There has scarcely ever been time
American people should present to the
world an unbroken front and an I'M
marred harmony. We are not through
yet with our difficulties and If there is
any discord among ourselves 1t is nat
ural that our enemies should take
courage and see in our dissensions a
strength.
We know how 1t would be our
selves. When we were at war with
Spain 1t gratified us to observe the dis
sensions among the Spanish people
because we knew that while they were
disunited there was better chance
for our entire success. Even in the
midst of all its reverses if the Spanish
people had presented compact mass.
Loyalty standing by their government,
aiding 1t in its plans. and encouraging
less successful we should have had
greater admiration for the nation and
more respect for It's manIiness.
How can I'VE expect to be differently
judged? The people of Europe, already
jealous OF our progress and envIous of
our success, know nothing OF the little
dun. of Lewisism. OF Hannaism: they
know Of US only by the victories of
our arms and the attitude OF our pres
ident. II they should learn that the
people have sent to congress men who
have upon the stump denounced the
president for his want OF backbone,
have condemned his conduct of the
war and have sueerei at him as un-
worthy. they can only presume that
his entire policy has met with the dis
approval OF the American people. II.

The best reason for voting against Lewis
for congress is that he does not represent
American sentiment and national pride. He
represents only party prejudice and the ir-
responsible calumny which bounded George
Washington and which the people OF his
day SO nercilessly rebuked.
