WASHINGTON. D. c., April a.
Advices today from Central America
are to the effect that the peace nego-
tiation which had been in progress
the past few days at Amapala, have
come to deadlock and it is feared
a renewl of hostilities is impending.
The difficulty appears to lie in the
Nicaraguan demand that Salvador

occurred, and which condition is not
acceptable.

Japan's lingo PARTY,

In reckoning up the Japanese situation
as il affects the United States. account
must be taken of the growth of the new
liberalism, not to say radicalism. which has
been d marked feature of the expansive
movement of the past few decades. Japan
has in truth learned much from the west
ern nations since its emergence from the
isolation and obscurity of its old civifiza-
ton 1t has gained a great deal that is
useful. in the social. liberal and mechani-
Cal arts. II has at the same time picked
up much that is harmful, chiefly in the
way Of politics. The present agitations in
that country are undoubtedly the result OF
d close study by the more impatient Sec
lions OF the people Of those phases OF
American politics which are embodied in
the term "1ingoism."
1t must not be thought that the Japanese
have always been a subservient people on
the contrary they have for many genera
lions been militant, partisan and agrees
s!ve. For centuries there were two great
parties in Japan. contending over a vital
question of feudal organization and i'm
perial power. The entrance Of Japan into
the world arena has merely changed the
direction Of the currents which for years
pulsed through the empire and caused wars
and animOsities. The war with China con-
yersed those forces for the time in one
channel. The war with Russia brought
them again into united a ton. Now there
is period OF peace, and the political cur
rents are once more flowing in diverse di-
rections. but with new virulence. derived
from the injection into japanese politics of
modern methods in substitution for the

Years ago the Hoosier state was a power

friends all over the country. He was I'M
questionably man of real ability. and

and sixty years old, he would be figuring
much more conspicuously than that good

Joseph b. Mcdonald, though never as
popular as Mr.. Hendricks. was yet quite
as good d lawyer and made a fine impress

With the disappearance of these men
from the scene has come a change throw
ing Indiana into the background Strictly
speaking, there is not democrat of ma
tional proportions in the state. B. F.
Shvely is former greenbacker but
little known. John w. Kern has no great
power even at home. Thomas Taggart
is of course only ga managing politician
and not in the best of odor even in that
small place. He is marked for retire
ment, and after next summer may dis
appear from the equation altogether.
So that the state which, for years was,
with New York, of great consequence in
the national democratic plans, Is today
quite unthought Of She is mere
looker-on. Her wealth is under ground.
The republicans have controlled ner for
a long time and seem to have so firm
grip that nothing can shake it. The
Fairbanks boom is strengthened by the
knowledge of the country that the Vice
President is very solid at home and the
democrats are very helpless.

BRYAN and Hearst.

Norman E. Mack of New York now
abroad. is quoted follows:
Politics is now in a somewhat chaotic
condition l do not believe that Mr.. Roose-
welt will run again unless the pressure pc
comes too strong for him to resist. Mr.
Bryan is the only man, in my opinion, VINO
can carry the democrats to victory, but his
chief danger lies in the attitude of Hearst
If Hearst is with Bryan he will win, as l
believe that Hearst's opposition will be
fatal to the chances of airy democratic
candidate for the presidency. hope for
the sake of democratic success and unity
that Hearst will drop his own ambition and
support Bryan. Then victory will be almost
assured.
Mr. Mack has discovered what a good
many other people have discovered-what,
there are good reasons to believe, Mr.
Bryan himself has discovered. Mr. Hearst
already possesses considerable power in
politics. and is reaching out for more. He
is the young Oliver Twist of our politics
in the matter of appetite. His platter is
large one, and when he passes it up he
wants it well flled-wants the portion
heaped up.
And this brings us to the point. Mr..
Hearst is not in politics for his health. and
politics does not develop altruism If it
shall appear next year that Mr. Hearst is
necessary to Mr. Bryan's success, what Will
the former demand, if he is willing for
trade and what can the latter afford to
grant?
A seat in the cabinet? And. If 80.
which one? The Post Office Department
would be in line with the traditions, so
to say. Since Franklin's day, the de-
partment has often been associated with
journalism. The Department Of Com
merce and Labor? That would enable
Mr. Hearst to keep an eye peeled for the
trusts.
But maybe mere Office would not sat-
isfy Mr.. Hearst. Maybe he would want
rather to advise from the outside as to
the larger policies of the administration.
He is for the initiative and referendum,
and would be glad to help along that
policy. He has not yet declared for
government ownership of railroads. Is
he coming to that? Would the triumph
of Mr.. Bryan, accomplished through his
aid, bring him around to it? Ana then
what else?
If this combination is effected and
should be successful at the polls it will
mean much According to the old def
milton. Mr. Bryan is little of a democrat
and Mr.. Hearst has formally withdrawn
from the party. Populism and indie
pendence Leagueism would be in the sad
die, and there would be bit of riding
that would make the hair curl The
danger, however. would fully appear in
the campaign. and by the time The spell
binders got through with the subject the
voters would all be doing some very
sober thinking.
1t will require much delicate diplomacy
to bring these two men together, with
Mr. Bryan in the lead, and the chief
beneficiary of the combination. And the
job may prove impossible.

strength of it's self-assumed greater pa

of the United States toward Japan as the
chief basis of the campaign. The elections

may be expected that until the votes are
