KILLED BY A CGv1LIAY.-J. Carrar

KILLED BY A CGVILIAN.-J. Carrara,
an officer of the Twentieth Mexican
Battalion, lies dead as the result of a
duel between himself aud Alberto
Mungia. Guaymas merchant. The af-
fair took place in the outskirts Of Quay
mas. The men met by appointment at
a spot surrounded by trees and unoc-
cupied houses. They had previously
engaged in fight in drinking place in
the center of the city, when Mungia had
attempted to stab his victim. He failed
in this. as bystanders separated the men,
but Mungia Immediately challenged
Carrara to a duel with swords. The
latter accepted and the men and their
seconds were ready at the appointed
time on the spot selected. Mungia
thrust hissword through CaTrara's breast
At the first onslaught, instantly killing
his opponent Nuugia was arrested.
The cause of the bad feeling between the
men is not definitely known by the au-
tborities. but those who witnessed the
fight between them in a cafe say the
trouble there arose over woman.
Carrara had taken part in several skir-
mishes with Yaqui rebels. His fame
as soldier had preceded him to Quay
mas, SO that his death was a shock IN
civilian as well as in military circles.
Although brave soldier, he was not
skiliul in handling a sword, and his
more powerful opponent easily rushed
him of his feet, refusing to spare his
victim when he saw an opportunity TO
run him through.

Leo was man who got along well
with the world; he mended the rela-
tions that had existed between the
supreme pontificate and the rest of
the world. There are not many who
appreciate this work. and yet it was
well done. 1T was very sllillfuI all the
way through. The vatican stands well
at st. James, at Berlin, at Washing
ton, the seats of the great protestant
powers. 1t was not that political
troubles did not beset Leo at the be-
ginning of his pontificate a little
more than quarter century ago. At
the time he took the chair of st. Peter
the worlds great politicians were in
triguing against him.
Leo has changed all of this. The
result was accompanied by selecting
the wise course in a thousand situa-
tions that came up. This is the order
of talent that secures q really strong
hold on the world.

Five Years of History.

The past five years in history is in
some respects the most remarka BILE
period of equal length ever seen. In
point Of happenings of national or
worldwide interest no similar period
been so prolific. Three wars have
been fought and concluded. The Span
ish war was first, bringing about great
changes and placing the United States
among the colonial powers. The boer
war in South Africa followed and was
concluded within the period mention
ed, and the Boxer uprising in China
involving the civilized world was also
included
The assassina ton of a president
and also of king and queen came in
this Hateful five years. Queen Vic
toria and Pope Leo passed away. both
world figures.
The Galveston horror and the great
disaster following the eruption of
Mount Pelee furnished casualties al
most without parallel.
IndustriaIly, the rise of the trust
and the progress of the coal miners
strike have been features of great
importance. The strike was probably
the most remarkable and its effects
were widespread.
In every department of human ac-
tivity the past half-decade has fur
nished some event of Importance that
stands out as n monument to mark
progress or a new starting point in
history No other similar period in
nearly half century can equal it.

The republicans of Kentucky have
incorporated in their state platform
plank demanding the enforcement
of law. 1t denounces assassination
and lawlessness, whether in Servia or
Kentucky, as destructive of civiliza-
ton" and calls upon the enlightened
intelligence of the state, through its
executive, legislative and judicial
agencies, to employ remedies to re-
esta blish order and punish crimes"
The democrats of Kentucky drafted
no such plank probably because they
concluded that the enforcement of
the law is not a political issue, but
an official function. and that the GER
tain presumption is that the law will
be enforced. 1t is recalled that prom
inent republicans were mixed in the
most horrible assassination Kentucky
has known, the shooting of q state
executive, and that the chief ring
leader in the diabolical conspiracy, a
former governor of the state, is now
an Outcast shielded by the governor
of a neighboring commonwealth. The
republicans of Kentucky will do well
to clear up this crime before they
talk of suppressing assassination and
lawlessness themselves.

Last of a Great Triumvirate.

1t is generally agreed among mem
bers of the cabinets of the world that
in the death of Pope Leo XIII the
Catholic church has lost one of the
ablest p6ntiffs it ever had. a few
years ago three men were mentioned
as the great triumvirate of Europe.
These men were Gladstone, Bismarck
and Leo. Now the last of the three is
gone.
VIII there be worthy successor to
Lcc? We feel that Germany had no
other man to take the place of the
great Bismarck, and there has been a
good deal of rafting around in the
shoes of Gladstone. The Catholic
church has all the world to draw from
in selecting successor to Leo, and in
this it perhaps possesses an adyan-
tage over England and Germany
