City Of Mexico. May 14-There is to-day fur
iher reason TO belive that, as forecast in
these dispatches May s the present dn-
cuItles in Guatemala may lead to the greatest
event in the annals of Central American history
namely, the federation Of all the republics of
Central America. There is also reason TO be-
heve that such outcome would not be unac-
ceptable TO either Mexico or the United States
The first step 10 this end will he a revolution
against President Cabrera of Guatemala head
ed by General Toledo and backed actively by
President Zelaya of Nicaragua and the chief
executives Of Honduras and Salvador 1t IS ex-
pected that Cabrera will be driven from the
Presidency Of Guatemala within the next ninety
days. General Toledo probably will be the new
President Of that republic. but he will act only
long enough TO have the country agree formally
TO enter the federation. Honduras and Salvador
VIII thereupon follow suit. Zelaya is to be Pres
upon giving pledge to Mexico and the United
States that he win call general election shortly
after the scheme is perfected. The Presidents
of Guatemala, Honduras and Salvador will act
as local governors ad interim.
The republics Of Costa Rica and Panama will
be invited to join the federation and II is be-
neved that expediency viii result in their
accepting the invitation.
Preparations for the revolution against Presi-
dent Cabrera are being pushed with activity.

unelc Joe Cannon.

George K. Peck, general coun- sel of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, declared for Speaker Cannon for president.
 Uncle Joe Cannon will get the solid delegation of the republican national convention next year, !" asserted Mir. Peck, and we fully expect to nominate him for the presidency.
 "There is no doubt in my mind that other states will also come to his support. Speaker Cnanon is the logical candidate of the party, and is the only candidate who has absolutely no entanglements and no weights of any kind to carry. He belongs to no man and no lac ton, and would make the strong est candidate the republicans could name. It is absurd to talk about his age disqualifying him. He is as vigorous and active now as he was twenty years ago, and is the most eminently qualified man in experience that could be named.
 He comes from pivotal state, strong in historical, commercial and political interest-the state of Abraham Lincoln, the state ol Ulysses $. Grant and John A. Lo- gan, and, not by any means least, the state ol Joseph G. Cannon, We believe in Uncle Joe, and we are going to work hard 10 nominate him. He has not been in the lime light of publicity of late, when presidential possibilities have been discussed, but when 1t comes to calling the roll in theconvention next year you will see the old war horse will be in the front rank. l think, without prejudice, that Can non will be nominated and he will be our next president,

It will probably be an item of news to most oi our readers that our genial postmaster is not com pelled to make change for you when you make purchases at Uncle Sans office. This is a queer rule that not one in a thousand persons know. Buyers of stamps or any purchases at postoilice must fur nish their own change; i. e., the postmaster could insist on the buyer furnishing his own change fl he sees fit to do it; but usually the postmaster is glad enough to get rid of his chicken ieed," and he is always ready and willing to ac- commodate the public by making all the change it asks for. If a man wishes to buy fifty cents worth oi stamps and has but silver dol lar, he would be compelled to buy a dollars worth of stamps or go and get his silver dollar changed or do without his spmtas if the postmaster was stubborn and re- fused to make change for him. This is the law and a queer one ac- cording to our way of thinking. And postmasters are not compelled to take more than twenty-five pen nics at one time, il they do not want them.

According to the Gallup Repub- lican, published at the nearest point to the Navajo reservation in New Mexico, the Navajo Indians this year have dipped more than roo, : GOO sheep. This is the first time the Indians, who are heavy sheep owners, have ever been induced to follow the instructions of the bu- reau of animal industry. They have heretofore ignored the dipping order, and such dipping as has been done has been done by force. The result has been that more in- tected sheep come from the Maya io reservation than from any other section in the two territories. The Indians have now, however, been brought to see the wisdom of fol- lowing the dipping order.
