UNHAPPY COSTA RIGA.
The Republic Has for Years Been Sinking
into Poverty and Misery Stares Cit
liens in the Face.

San de Jose, Costa Rica, Dec. IA
The republic of Costa Rica has for a
few years past been sinking into pow
erty and to-day misery stares the cit
liens in the face. Business of all
sorts is practically at a standstill. The
government is without funds with
which to meet pressing needs and
hundreds of workmen are idle in the
streets. To make things worse the
approach of the presidential election
is causing nervousness. The bitter
feeling between the government re-
publican and national parties grows
more intense every day and several
leaders predict that bloodshed will be
the outcome.

A SUMMARY OF KANSAS EVENTS.
1t Depends on Court omciaIs.

A Topeka dispatch to the Kansas
City Journal says of the effort that
will be made by the old district judges
to resist the seating of the new judges
appointed by Gov. Stanley: 1.-The old
judges now claim that the governor
had no right to appoint judges under
the provisions of the biennial election
law. Some of them have it figured
out that the newly-appointed judges
will have to file quo-warranto pro-
ceedings to oust the present judges.
In such a proceeding the present
judges would be placed on the defen-
sive. position they very much desire.
Aside from the fact that it is easier
&c defend than prosecute in such
cases, they would continue to draw
their salaries. 1t all depends upon
the action of the local county officials
of the district clerk and the sheriff
especially. If two judges set them
selves up in business in the same room
the court officials, including the sher-
if and clerk, can take their choice.
