Of man who is old enough to go

Literary Prosperity.

joiee at the prosperity revealed by
Mr.. Aldrieh's win. That a man of
literature, a writer who held scrupu-
iously true to his highest standards
through a long life, could yet find
his calling so materially profitable
is refreshing information.
Yet an estate of S1s5, 900 is far
from being the chief monument to
Thomas Bailey Aldrich. That is
rather the whole collection of sin
rere, genial beautiful works set
forth in yesterdays book news. Let
the ambitious young writer give
heed to that, and be confident that
if he rise to the high purposes and

the writings there enumerated, he

the severest structures upon the lax
ness OF morals in great many #

Among other things, he said:
I need mention no names. but we are
all apprised Of the depraveG conditions
and the scenes of debauchcry in many
OF our universities. While heads of col

dents along lines of study. few there
are who place morals first j venture
20 say that if the college presidents
would unite along a common line Of
thought and action this dissipation
among the students could be wiped out
in thirty days
Morals are placed first at Syracuse
At a majority Of the other universities,
however, the student is allowed 10 come
and go As he pleases; to spend his nights
in riotOus living, to drink, enter pool
rooms. and waste much energy that
should be devoted to his studies
I could mention names Of college pres
idents who seem devoid of sincere in

well to name those college presi-

ZELAYA WANTS
BONILLA To LEAVE
CENTRAL AMERICA
MAY Conclude Treaty
on Board Our
Ships.

Although President ZeIaya. Of Nicara-
qua, at last has acceded TO the demands
Of the United States. Mexico, Guate-
mala. Costa RIGA. and Salvador. that
he cease his warfare and listen TO pro
posals that are meant to guarantee the
peace of the entire Central America, he
has not given up his fight without an
important victory-the downfall Of the
BoniHa administration in Honduras,
which means the establishment Of a
provisional government acceptable to
Zelaya and recognized by Salvador.
Further than this, NicaTagua's Presi-
dent viii listen 10 peace only on condi-
ton that BOnilla leave Central Amer
lea. This, strangely enough, has been
guaranteed by Salvador, and thus de-
velops the unique situation Of peace
negotiations being entered into by Sal
vador and Nicaragua. whereas the lat
ter began the war with Honduras.
Already steps have been taken for the
discussion of Salyador's peace proposal
between the Presidents Of that country
and Nicaragua. President zelaya is on
his way to the port of Amapala, where
he Is expected 20 arrive the first Of the
week The conference will begin i'm

All three of the dispatches Indicated
that the exiting of Bonilla was the de-
mand made by President Zelaya before
he would listen to peace overtures. If,
at the last moment, il should be de-
cided by either President that Amapala
is not sufficiently neutral territory, it
is likely that the conference will be
held on the cruiser Boston, which has
just arrived at Amapala. to take the
place Of the Chicago. which viii return

Lord CrOmer and Egypt.


When the Cape-to-CairO railroad
shall have been completed; when
The expanding commerce of the Suez
route shall have been merged with
the tidal wave of the new traffic of
the second greatest continent; when
the new Alexandria shall have out
STown, as one day it win, the glories
- the ancient metropolis; when the
new and modern Egypt shall have
revived in a new form the greatness
of the Wonderland of ancient civiIi-
zation-then viii the world recog-
nize the genius of Lord Cromer.
Lord Cromer was the advance
agent of prosperity to Egypt, He
gave it peace. security commerce,
opportunity; he modernized it, es-
tablished banks, inaugurated a SPLEEN
did currency system, built the AS
souan dam and reclaimed much of
its desert, created railroads and an
educational system-in short, he
made Egypt once more rich and
happy and everything but con-
|7tented.
Cromer's rank among the English
nation-builders who as colonial ad-
ministrators have induced all kinds
of people in every cline to accept and
enjoy as much as they could digest
of Anglo-Saxon civilization, cannot
quite be fixed yet. He was not a
Give or Hastings, and no more was
he Rhc-ies. He was an organizer
and administrator. He found Egypt
in poverty, and left it rich. He
found its people the prey of usurers
and Shylocks, and he gave them a
model money system aud rescued
them from these impositiOns. He
found them torn by international
and internal strife and dissension;
he conquered the Mahdi. subdued
the Soudan, and convinced the
French that, after all, they were
satisfied with the bargain they made
for themselves when they took their
forces out of Egypt
The British people have been for
several centuries developing the sci
ence of colonial administration. They
have produced some good and some
bad administrators. They viii never
again commit the mistake that was
made with the American colonies, of
giving them too much government
from the outside Even Egypt has
its constitution. its parliamentary
assembly, its nominal allegiance to
ConstantinOple. Perhaps it has had
a little too much freedom, for today
3 1t is growing FESTIVE under the re-
straint, and there is intimation that
