N1cARAGUAN "LEsE MAJEsTE."
Criticism Of President Puts in Force
the estate of Siege" Statute.
(By Associated Press.)


Managua. Nicaragua, Oct. 16.-One
division Of the supreme court of Mica
ragua by recent decision in the case
of the chief Of police Of Managua, Angus
tin Garcia, notary public accused of
using disrespectful language in refer
erce to President Zelaya, has decided
to enforce a law which places the
country in a estate of siege" that is,
under martial law
The law in question was decreed by
President Zelaya in 1896, owing to the
outbreak Of a revolution against him,
and declared the country to be in
state Of siege, and that no person
should criticise the acts of the presi-
dent or Of his army, or of his officials
adversely, under such penalty as a
court-martial might inflict. The branch
Of the supreme court at Mama
qua declared Garcia guilty under
this law, and so the case stands, I'M
less the decision be revoked by a ma
jority of the two other branches of
that court, in the event Of the case be-
ing appealed. In such cases the de-
cision by one branch is declared
"nnal." yet it may be appealed.
Presiden Zelaya is the only person
who has been named to be voted for
in November for the presidency of
Nicaragua. It will be his third term of
four years each.
The censorship exercised over the
cable messages is oftentimes quite Sc
we're, the censor expunging from them
every mention of facts that are in the
least degree adversely critical of the
government and sometimes even refus-
ing to permit the cabling of items that
have appeared in one or both of the
daily newspapers published at the CAPT
tai after having been closely scanned by
the censor. The reason for this strict
ness Of censorship if not apparent.

The question involved was the CON

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Grabs Caused His Trouble

While the Wayfarer was passing q
well-known restaurant in this city late
on Tuesday night, he was startled by the
most mearthly groans that ever mortal
had TO listen to at midnght's lonely
hour.
Cold chills crept up and down his spinal
column and paroxysms of shivers chased
each other through the frame of the Way
farer until his teeth played a devils
tattoo 1t was a horrible sound and af-
ter mastering his fear the Wayfarer rush
ed into the restaurant. There was so
much excitement, that the Wayfarer' S
entrance was not noticed.
1t was scene never to be forgotten.
On the floor was the form of a big, robust
man writing in pain. Several men stood
around him and each had bottle Of
medicine in hand. They took turns ad-
ministering to him. He seemed TO get
worse at every dose and things looked
desperate.
Suddenly the door flew open and a we'll
known physician rushed into the room.
Throwing all remedies out of the door, he
administered medicine that soon soothed
the sufferer to such an extent that he
dropped off into sleep. Before quietly
Withdrawing, the Wayfarer found that
the man was from New Castle and a
prominent member Of the Pickwick Club
and had eaten twenty soft shell crabs.

BOUT ANARCHISTS

There are some wholesome truths be-
ing expressed these days regarding an
archy And as it is admitted that an
anarchist is one who opposes all gov
ernment. IL will not be regarded as far
fetched to class those office-holders
whose acts are subyersive Of law and
order, as being akin to the red-handed
people. Charles Heber Clark, in dis
cussing the Pennsylvania situation
says:
The anarchy which smote the good
ma nwho was our Chief Magistrate, anC
the anarchy which has produced the
vilest misrule in this commonwealth
belong to the same class and are o
the same type. The governor who sit
in his chair to violate his oath at th'
behest Of a corrupt boss is an an
arohist. and the judge who sits on tn
bench to interpret the law in obedianc
TO the command Of his political create

is an anarchist. The man who takes
money in his hand and goes into the
halls Of legislation to bribe the repre-
sentatives of the people to misrepre-
sent them is an anarchist The man
who thrusts his foul hand into the bal
lot-box TO put there ballots which do
not represent honest votes is an an
archist The man who takes the law
that was intended for the uplifting Of
and prostitutes it to do
the work Of inicuity is an anarchist
And, my fellow citizens. if you con-
template the consequences, il you take
the thing as it will be. stretching down
far into the future. / do not hesitate
to say, dreadful as has been the murder
of our beloved President, that the man
who does these other things is a more
dangerous man than the man who slew
William Mckinley.

A PROPER ATrIrunE

In the following editorial which we
fQuote from the Every Evening, an
abuse which has been practiced for
years by one or two of our
papers, is properly characterized We
agree with our contemporary that the
abuse should stop. and that the Levy
Court has done its exact duty in de-
claring it will pay no more bills for
advertising unless ordered by that
body. The Every Evening says:
The Levy Court yesterday afternoon
adopted a resolution providing that
when newspaper copies from another
paper, without authority Of the official
having charge OF the matter. any pub
lie county advertisement. the bill for
printing the advertisement so copied
shall not be paid. This action is right
and proper. We understand that a
pernicious system OF copying adver-
tlsements without authority and then
charging for them, has been exten-
sively followed in the past. The news
paper that does this is guilty of rob
bing the county, and deserves no more
consideration than those who rob the
county Treasury by other underhand
and illegal schemes.

President Mckinley has had c
FIGHT In THE OPEN

what are the use OF monuments?
asks the morning Addicks sheet, and
then proceeds to pour out a stream Of
advice. suggestion and comment We
are told that the impulse all over the
land to perpetuate the memory Of the
dead President in enduring granite is
"the outcome of transitory spasms Of
emotion. and will come to nothing of
Importance. there is the rub" Yes,
there is the rub II we wish TO take
a materialistic view. the money 1t Isl
proposed to spend in such a manner
could be put to better use. One could
buy votes with 1t, or buy newspaper,
for instance. But some do not take
that view, as witness an incident
which occurred in the office Of the
Evening Journal yesterday. A little
boy came in and handed MS an en-
velope, evidently containing money,
marked: For the monument fund.
He said he had saved 1t himself He
was a modest little fellow. and after
he had seen it safely in our hands le-
tired. Upon opening the envelope two
dollars were found mostly in nickels.
II represented self-denial, and was a
spontaneous Offering. What good did
it do the boy? Wen, many a man would
give thousands Of dollars to have that
kind OF a son, and his simple act is
rebuke to those who would measure
every generous impulse by a material
standard.
The whole purpose of the editorial
like certain expressions in an evening
paper. is intended to dampen any en-
thusiasm our people may have, and to
render the erection OF a monument
impossible. Such underhand methods
are cowardly. Neither paper liked Presi-
dent Mckinley while living; one be-
cause he was a Republican, the other
because he was not an Addicks man.
The sentiment regarding the late
President is not such that they dare
come out in the open and oppose build
ing a monument Therefore their at
tacks are veiled and insidious. This
monument may never be built but
whether it is or not it shall never be
said that the Evening Journal opposed
it. The spontaneous offerings of our
people already made, are an honor tc
them, and an honor TO our city.

NOW FoR THE RACE

The Columbia seems to have repre-
sented the acme of American boat
building Every race has shown prog
ress in the building of racing craft,
until Columbia left the ways. Follow
ing former experience. it was thought
this craft could be improved upon, and
the Constitution was built But human
ingenuity could not improve upon the
former model. and, therefore, Colum-
bia defends the cup.
For many years there was wide
divergence between the types of boats
entered in these contests, but the Eng
lish, in late years, have approached
nearer and nearer the Ameri-
can type, till there is only a
shade OF difference. 1t seems that
Shamrock IL is superior to her
predecessor in certain particulars,
and probably is trihe faster.
1t has reached point when
seconds count, and, barring accident,
it is anybodys race. To predict the
result is impossible, and the only time
to make a safe guess will be after the
races are over.
There is every indication that the
first race win be sailed under ideal
conditions The weather Is crisp, and
at this moment there is a brisk breeze
with every indication for it's continu-
ance. The boats are so nearly alike that
either may win by good seamanshiT
alone. and thousands win witness this
royal sport.
Sir Thomas Upton has grown so il

would have been in former years. II
