Washington, Feb. 21.--A serious con- dition of affairs exists in Central Amer ica as is shown by the following tele- gram received by the secretary of state from MT. Merry, the United States min, ister to Costa Rica, dated at San Jose, February 20, 1900; Revolutionary in- vasion expected from Nicaragua. Mar tial law declared. Troops moving to the frontier
 Owing to the large commercial and political interests, present and prospec- tive of the United States in the two countries named, and especially in con- nection with the proposed construction of the Nicaragua canal by this country the reported revolutionary movement on the part of the inhabitants of one coun- try against the other is viewed with considerable apprehension by adminis- tration officials as it practically amounts to a war between Costa Rica and Nicaragua.

celled the meeting that was to have
been held in Webb Hall last SATURDAY.
evening, and also their meeting in SUIT
ter Creek because of the unfortunate
death of the late Robert j Adams, a
Republican of prominence and will re-
turn and talk politics in jackson, on
Wednesday evening, Oct, oath, in
Amador City at noon on Thursday,
Oct. 25th, and in Sutter Creek in the
evening. A rousing time will be given
the candidates, for Republicanism is
growing in Amador county and in
fact, is becoming stronger and stronger.
Indeed, it is prophesied by some that
Amador county will 60 Republican this
coming election. Democracy is fast
dropping out in this county.
Hon. S. d. Woods and Fred L.
Stewart were given rousipg reception
in lone last Friday evening.
From special correspondence to the
Record Union from lone we take the
following;
Before the introduction of Mr..
Woods local glee club sang number
of patriotic airs, and Fred L. Stewart,
Republican candidate for the Assembly
in this district, spoke for about twenty
minutes.
''Mr, Woods followed with one of the
best campaign speeches ever heard
here, and the audience interrupted him
time and again with ringing applause.
He spoke rapidly and clearly. covering
the issues of the campaign, and draw
ing q striking picture of the contrast
between Democratic and Republican
administration as displayed during the
terms of President Cleveland and Nc
Kinley, respectively.
He gave it as his opinion that the
American people would not this year
vote against the prosperity in the midst
OF which they were, and in favor of the
hard times of four years and more ago.
The expression of this conviction found
great favor with the audience, which
cheered upraariously.
'"Ihe outlook in this district for Re-
publican success is very bright, and the
Democrats are correspondingly dis
couraged. Throughout Amador county
there have been formed large Republi-
can climbs, whose mem bers have inject
ed great enthusiasm into the campaign
while the Democratic party seems dis
united and cold.
1.-The prevailing opinion seems to be
that the Republicans will carry Amador
county for President, Vice President
and Congressman.

understand that all travelling CON-
mercial men are supporters of Bryan.
Mr.. Barrett is himself commercial
man and is ex-President of the Pacific
Coast Commercial Travellers Associa-
tion and Past Councillor of Los Angeles
Council No. 81, U. G. T., and says that

cling commercial men supporting VIM.

been travelling as a commercial man
for years and being of such rank in the
Association is in close touch with his
fellow travellers, and says the votes of
the commercial travellers will be cast

An Old Resident.

VIM. Plunkett of Drytown, was a
county seat visitor yesterday. Mr..
Plunkett lived in these parts before
Amador county was formed. He ar
rived from Ell Dorado county in the
summer OF 1855, where he had been
placer mining, and in the fall of the
same year the division of Calaveras
county was made and this side of the
Mokelumne river was made Amador
county. Mr.. Plunkett well remem bers
the many historical incidents of early
days in California. He was here when
the notorious band of Joaquin Muri-
eta. He says that in those days every
man carried his life in his hands, and
no man dared leave his home without
having for his protection brace of
weapons: Twenty-dollar pieces were
used as freely as five-cent pieces now.
Mr.. Plunkett said: 81 hope every
Democratic candidate will be showed
under this election. -

THE RICH AND THE POOR.
How Bryan Proposes to Introduce All Fellow
Citizens.

How Bryan Proposes to Introduce All Fellow
Citizens.
Bryan, in a speech delivered in Kan
sas, said he wants to introduce 'the
rich to the poor" so that they will not
need introducing when they get to the
other side of the River. The plan he
vaguely hints at is to bring about an
equality in conditions by removing the
distinctions between classes and
IN asses.
The actual way, however, by which
Rryan would proceed to accomplish
this era of equality and brotherly ac-
quaintanceship between 'the rich and
the poor" would be by producing con-
ditions which would tend to reduce the
classes but more particularly the
masses, down to the level of the
starving poor.
1t is altogether probable that in this
way the ''rich and the poor" might be
introduced-for it is always noteworthy
that a common catastrophe tends to
bring men close together, and to a
recognition that they are kith and kim
however distant past relations may
have been.
LILO peOpl6J uOW6Vef, WHOM bryan
calls the ''poor" would probably be
willing to undergo the bliss that Bryan
promises them of shaking hands with
the 'rich'' in the next world, rather
than be forced to experience, in this
world, a catastrophe that would make
life uncomfortable to them.
The tornado and flood which visited
Galveston sent into the other world
proportionately more people of small
means than of large means-the reason
being that the houses of the latter were
built on higher ground and were more
solidly constructed.
Similarly the financial and industrial
catastrophe that would be visited on
this country through the election of
Bryan would relatively hurt the
poor" far more than the rich. -
The ''rich" would lose more money,
but they have more money to lose.
The poor" would be forced into a
repetition of the heart-rending battle
against cold, starvation and disease,
which they fought after the Demo-
cratic panic of 1893.
Practically speaking, if Bryan be
elected President, the poor" will be
introduced to the ''rich ! only as forced
recipients of their charity :
