The present trouble at Bluehelds,
Nicaragua, bears strong resemblance
to a farce-comedy in more serious
dramatic setting. When the American
merchants paid their duties TO the
usurping revolutionist there was no
other government in Bluefelds. and
the contention of the merchants. that
a government that could not afford
them protection in their rights cannot
expeet TO collect duties already paid
to a de facto government, would seem
TO be founded upon justice and COM
mon sense. But the most amusing
feature of 1t all is the fact that Presi-
dent Zelaya neglected to depose from
office the collector OF customs who
transferred his allegiance to the rebels,
and consequently the duties were paid
TO his appointee, although they were
used TO strengthen and support his
enemy This is another strong argu-
ment against paying the money Sec
