THE SHOCKING calamity to two little
children in Hoboken, who were fatally
burned in their home during their parents
absence, and the drowning of another
child in Jersey city in cistern, afford
strong arguments for the development OF
the day nursery system. In our news
columns today will be found an account
OF what the Peoples Palace has done to
meet the need It is surprising fact that
the people, for whose benefit the nursery
is run, do not make as much use of it as
might be expected, and 1t also lacks sup
port from the money giyers, whose aid
would enable the management to push its
usefulness by advertising it more among
the working class.
There is no better scheme Of benevolence
than this in existence. and everything
possible should be done to develop it.

AN INVASION OF COSTA RIGA
Presidents of Honduras and Nicarn-
gun, it is Alleged, Form an ALI
ance Offensive and Defensive.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 30.-On the author
ity of an American just returned here from
Nicaragua, where he has lived for the last
seven years, it is stated that there recently
took place a secret conference between
President Zelaya of Nicaragua and President
Terencia Sierra Of Honduras, the purpose OF
which was to effect an offensive alliance
between those two countries for an invasion
of Costa Rica.
The conference took place at Arnalpala.
Honduras, the chief seaport on the Pacific
side, and 1t Is stated that war between the
allies and Costa Rica is bound to eventuate.
The casus belli is contained in the fact that
Nicaragua is intent upon regaining from
Costa Rica the province OF Guanacaste, the
boundary fine between Costa RIGA and Mica
ragua, and which is adjacent to the proposed
route of the Nicaraguan canal. This province
formerly belonged to Nicaragua, but was
wrested from the latter country in the last
struggle with Costa Rica.
1t is likewise stated that $50, 900 in gold
has been shipped to Hamburg and that the
father-in-law Of President Zelaya Is now in
Belgium for the purpose of buying up arms
for the allied forces; also that 1875, 900 in
gold has been sent to Zelaya's agents in New
York for the same purpose.

NEED OF A SPECIAL GRAND JURY

NEED Of a SfECIAL bhAND JChf.
The need of converting a special grand
jury for the September term of the dis
trict court has become almost impera-
tive. A series of murders and murder
GUS assaults have been %perpetrated in
this city within the past few weeks
which should be thoroughly investigated.
The arbitrary power of the county at
torney to liberate persons charged with
curtailed, and the proper tribunal to re-
lieve him of this grave responsibility is
the grand jury. On general principles
sessions of the grand jury should be
held at least twice a year in a county
that has nearly 100000 population. En-
perience has shown that crime is more
rampant in population centers than it is
in the rural districts. For his reason
alone periodic sessions of grand juries
become essential for the public we'll
being.
Inasmuch as there has been no
grand jury in session in Douglas county
for more than two years a session this
fall would be in order eve IL the criml-
nal dockets were not clogged. In view
of the fact also that several Of the MUIR
der cases are ~enveloped in mystery that
was impenetrable to c%oroner's juries and
puzzled the police judge, it is the more
important that q most searching inquiry
be made, and if the suspicious or con-
lectures of the lower court are con-
firmed and true bills are presented q
speedy trial will doubtless be given. If
on the other hand the evidence presented
to the grand jury is insufficient to justify
indictment, then the parties accused will
be relieved from the odium and respon-
sibilfty that attach to capital crimes.
There are minor offenses against the
criminal code which would be sifted by
the grand jury in the discharge of its
functions, and the county attorney would
be relieved of responsibility which now
rests on his shoulders alone.

TIE SINTn nLsrRICT

The republicans of the Sixth congress
sional district are to be congratulated
upon the choice of Judge NJ. L. Kinkaid
as their candidate for the vacancy in
the house of representatives caused by
the death of the late Congressman
Greene. Judge Kinkaid is eminently
qualified for the position and fairly en-
titled to the honor. His career in public
life, whether as lawmaker or law ex-
FOUNDER, is unassailable and his views
on every vital issue, state and national,
are sound. His popularity, not only with
his W party, but with all classes of
citizens, has been attested whenever his
name has been presented for their suf-
frages. But by far his most admirable
quality MS n candidate is the esteem in
which he is held at his home and the
confidence he enjoys among the people
who have come in daily contact with
him.
Without disparaging his competitors in
the congressional race, we feel justified
in the declaration that no man in the
Sixth district surpasses him in public
spirit and enterprise and no man would
be more devoted to the promotion of its
interests at the national capital.
