Central American Squabble.

YN THE frequent calls that are
made upon the State department
II to take a hand in suppressng
this or that outbreak in Central
America, we are constantly reminded
of the peculiarly infammable political
material which abounds in the terri
tory south of the possessions of Uncle
Sam. one band of wild-cyed patriots
is hardly subdued before another ap-
pears on the horizon ready to cut num-
erous throats in the struggle to gain
possession of the ruins of a weak
kneed government. Every time a
score or so of bandits turn down the
brims of their hats and start upon
the warpath, many nervous people be-
come impressed by the idea that the
flames of a revolution may catch the
Monroe doctrine and calls for fleets
to protect American interests are
heard at every hand. At the present
moment we are enjoying the Utilization
of our martial nerves because it has
been found advisable to send a gum
boat to Colon to keep an eye on the
rumpus which is going on in Nenezu-
ella, caused by an uprising of restless
spirits who are reported to have an
envious eye on Colombia.
The immediate occasion of the re-
cent order TO the Navy department
was the holding up" by party Of
rebels of a train on the railway that
runs across the isthmus. This act
brings the United States into the
squabble. as was done in 1885, when
Aspinwall was burned under somewhat
similar circumstances. because of our
obligation entered into in 1S46 to main
tain an open line through the isthmus.
In the former case Commodore Nc
Gala with party of marines locked
up the rebel chiefs until they promised
to do their fighting in another part of
the world. Probably less than this
will serve in the present instance. The
affair is interesting mainly because II
reminds us how sensitive We. are TO
our troublesome neighbors Nothing
has occurred thus far to justify the
fear that the revolt means the inva-
sion of Colombia, whose sovereignty y
the government at Washington has
been committed to uphold

public which enjoys racing as a spec
tacle has been interested chiefly in the
running matches that attract such
great crowds when one of the inn
portant equine contests Of the year
takes place. Whether the former in-
terest in the graceful and practical
trotter can he revived remains to be
seen. While the running horse Is
nothing more than a'rich mans toy-'a
sort of living machine to carry of
stakes and prizes--the trotter can he
utilized as a road horse, and his breed
ing should he encouraged. For every
successful trotter hundreds of fine anil
mails are produced. which, although
they may not prove quite up to the
racing mark. are yet valuable and use
full for driving purposes.
