Trou bles Of Guatemala.

The situation in Guatemala Ia some
what puzzling. ESTRADA CABRERA may
not he an ideal ruler, but in his eight
years Of Office peace has been maintained
and notable progress made. There have
been occasional rumors Of discomfort
and even of revolt. Conditions in Guate-
mala, like those in many other Latin
GENTLY settled to preclude the POSSIBLE
ity Of spasmodic uprisings. But nothing
has indicated any general dissatisfaction
with the Cabrera administration.
The extent of the revolutionary move
ment and its systematic operation from
different points give ground for suspi-
cion, if not for belief, that it has some
outside support, but the source and ma
ture of the external influences, if such
there be, can only be guessed at. That
President CABRERA has many political
enemies at home is not to be doubted.
So have ESTRADA PALMA, RAFAEL REYES,
CIPRIANo CASTRO, and even PoRFIRIo
DIAz, probably the ablest, wisest and
strongest man in all the history of Latin
America. Many a Mexican malcontent
has been smashed by DIAz, just as Guate-
malan malcontents have been smashed
felt the hand Of CASTRO. These little
experiences in the government of the
mixed races of Latin America are not
always cabled &c the rest of the world
in full detail. A ruler who cannot put
political agitators out of his way and
~strangle revolts in their infancy cannot
hold his leadership long.
General BARILLAs, n of the leaders
Of the present opposition, made a very
good record as President nearly twenty
years ago, but his administration was
no better than that of CABRERA. Should
the struggle now going on result in the
overthrow of the latter, BARILLAs would
probably be declared Provisional Presi-
dent. He would doubtless make friends
in some quarters where CABRERA has
made enemies, but he would also make
enemies in quarters where the present
incumbent has made friends. There is
little reason to believe that his admins
tration would be, in its general results,
any improvement. Should the revolt
succeed, more trouble would undoubt-
eddy follow. The supporters of CABRERA
would then become a disturbing element
with threat of outbreaks for his rein
statement.
Guatemala has had only four Presi-
dents since 1871. RUFINo BARRIos,
BARILLAs, REINA BARRIos and CABRERA.
During that period a new country has
been made, a country that has every
promise Of larger and more rapid growth
in the days to come. 1t will be unfor-
tunate if this prosperous career is inter-
rupted by a revolutionary period, which
at best offers little more than a change
of administrators without marked adj
vance in methods Of administration.

Prison Made Goods.

More than 500 State laws designed to
restrict the market for convict made
goods are in operation now, but there is
no law preventing such goods from
being shipped out of the State of their
origin to be sold in competition with
the products of free labor. When State
Legislatures have passed laws to bar
foreign made convict goods from their
territories the enactments have been
held to be in restraint of interstate COM
merce and have failed to accomplish
their purpose. The House Committee
on Labor, through Mr.. GARDNER of New
Jersey, has just made a favorable report
on a bill providing that all such goods
shall come under the operation of the
laws of the State in which they are Of
fered for sale, no matter where they
originated. 1t was argued before the
committee that Congress had no right
to legislate on the subject, but in the
opinion of the members making the
report the matter is so important as to
justify an attempt to regulate it and
give opportunity for settlement of the
question in the courts.
An imprinted report Of the Bureau Of
Labor on convict competition with out

the President politely when he goes

Mr.. WILLIAMS makes a good point,
too, in calling attention to the manner
in which our Presidents have neglected
their duties to crafty their wanderlust.
The whole public knows that the Chief
Executive is Givent 10 Sinking his RESPONSE

Anarchy's Island Home.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sir: The
suggestion that an island with a good work.
manlike brand Of malaria be provided for
the anarchists seems. to say the least. to be
a trife absurd. At present and for many
years back these gentlemen have enjoyed
an asylum and base Of operations In an island
where there is no malaria. and from which,
since II was passed over by st. Patrick, there
has. never been a tendency TO Danish any

somewhat ridiculous to ask the readers OF
THE Sun to interest themselves in a question
which has so recently developed into quite a
family affair.
There is, however, but one regret in con-
nection with this discussion, and that Is the
attitude OF Mr.. Kelly expressed, in The Sun
some days ago. II this should be a fore
runner Of similar declarations by Burke and
Shea, then indeed would the poet who writes
so elegantly Of the land where grew the
arts of war and peace" and Finn McCool
have to apologize in earnest for a case of
limp feet. 7. O~'CALLAoHAN.

While Colonel HENRY WATTERsoN is
chanting hymns in honor of Mr.. BRYAN,
the imminent lightning plays over his
own head. The Richmond Times-De-
spdtch names him as the fttest candidate
for Vice-President on the ticket with the
greatest conservative force in American
public life, the peerless leader, the great
est American citizen.
The nomination will be received with
rapturous applause wherever there are
Democratic hands, hearts and lungs.
Colonel WATTERsoN is a Great American
Traveller, too. He has exported him
self frequently. He has seen the hotels
and porters of many cities. He is a
conservative and a pr~eservative force.
He has given much of his life and most
of his parts Of speech to the Democratic
party. He has advised, demonstrated
with and supplicated several Presidents.
He has been as steady in his convictions
as a weather vane. He has the Star
Eyed Goddess in his cellar at this mo-
ment. She needs to wait no longer.
The time is come.
BRYAN and WATTERsoN; the Peerless
and the Fearless; wise youth and youth
full age; two tongues and pens of fire;
two editors, travellers, lecturers, states
men.
The only possible objection to this
twin star is that it might seem dark
with excessive bright.

Man and Other Animals.

To THE EpIToR OF TIKI SuS-Sn: In discussing
tn difference between man and animal with q friend,
| used an argument which he said was new TO him.
although he has been and Is a student OF the sub.
ject. The nrst time | heard the argument made
was many years ago. when 1t was advanced by
Frank H. Ingham. then and now a lawyer al La
Porte, Pa. The argument Is this: Among the
human kind you ind thousands OF examples where
the young care for the old. where they make sacri.
nee OF pleasure, profit. health and oftentlmeS life
itself. In devotion to their elders. Among the
animal kind no instance OF this kind is known TO
exist-the old cares for and nurtures the young,
but the young animal never goes out OF Its ordinary
life 10 assist or care for the old,
This seems TO me an argument
In favor OF the human kind. Has II been advanced
before7 | suppose OF course II has, but would like
some one to point out where | can ind 1t in print.

The building Of n new music hall on

regarded IA the American development
OF the English music hall idea. n theatre

Use all the attractions of the English
auditorium. The seats are to be ar
ranged so that persons may enter or
depart al any time in the course of the
performance without disturbing others.
Corridors capacious enough to invite
p~romenaders are to be there, and Of
course smoking and thirst will be en-
couraged. Special mention is made OF
a large orchestra, but in a theatre of this
kind that is a necessity rather than an
extraordinary attraction.
There will be a substantial public for
such a place of amusement, even if it is
not conducted on English lines. In
London all good Americans go to the
Alhambra. An Alhambra in New York
ought to gather in not only thousands
of the inhabitants of the city, but a
very pretty percentage of that floating
population which the rest OF the country
daily gives to it.
A special charm Of the London theatre
is it's ballet pieces, which are usually
constructed on daintier and more mag
NATIVE lines than those customary in
New York.
