interest in the matter except the very
obvious and pubhc-spirited one of de-
sire for the development of Osceola

be of the greatest Importance to Osce-

two or three times as many people as
were in the County according to the
census of 1900. The colonists will en-
brace u3en and women of every profess

THE CENTRAL AMERICAN POW.

President Zeiaya, of Nicaragua,
shows that our mouth-fighting pugilists
have not monopoly of hot air by any
means. He has an army of about one
football power, without a football
squads real determination to come to
conclusions. He is determined to fight
Salvador, the army of which Is about
one baseball mines strength, and moth
ing will prevent him. This causes a
great deal of annoyance to the United
States and Mexico, who are determined
that he shall not give his bellicese in
tentions practical results to the disturb
ance of the coffee, banana and India
rubber trades. 1t Is pity that q little
space could not be cleared off some
where in the mountains, and Zelaya and
the other fellows compelled 90 go into
# and fight It out without disturbing
other people. Including Indians, there
are only 10000 people in Nicaragua,
nearly all of whom are stupid, ignorant,
Iistless folk, who do not want to fight
and cannot be made to put up a real
battle. When gotten into a Falstaftian
semblance of an army they whoop and
yell and fire guns, burn property and
piunder, without doing anything in a
really military way, unless it is to scare
off the other side, whose army is really
less effective in these gyrations. SaI7a-
dor, which Zelaya wants to fight, is very
much smaller in area, but has popn-
iation of something like LOCO 900. Most
VI these are Indians and mixtures Of
InGians. Spaniards and negros. Saliva
dor is not so badly governed as Nicara-
qua, and its money, largely Of debased
silver, is worth about 3S cents on a dol
lar. Nicaraguan paper money goes at
the rate of about $50 paper pesos for
one silver peso. When this is again d.
vided by the depreciation of silver, 1t
would look as If a woman going to mar
kef would have, to take her money In a
hayrick. Honduras, which lies between
Nicaragua and Salvador, and the neu-
Mexico are determined to preserve, has
population of about 5000, with very
few Europeans or the descendants of
Europeans. These petty American
States have been in a constant turmoil
for years, and have had to receive some
very severe admonitions from the Unit
ed States and Mexico. which apparently
have done them little good. They have
promised to maintain the peace, but
their promises are Of the least possible
value. and It looks as IL the upshot will
have to be sterner measures to take
away from the crowd of intriguing poll
eicians all their power over i.se custom
houses. which az tha bone cf conten-

escape the conclusion that the Confed-
efacy must have had something over
/, 500. 900 men in the field from first to
last If this were not the case. then
the Confederate States were not nearly
as patriotic rs the loyal ones. The
Northern States sent from IL to IS per
cent of their population into the Union
army. If the Confederates did not do
as weTl, the matter is reflection upon
their boasted devotion to their cause
and upon the courage of the Southern
ers. We all know that the greatest
ability exhibited by the Confederate
leaders was in the drastic enforcement
of the conscription law. which put into
the ranks every man who could march
a mile and carry gun. The whole
Confederaey was a prison. with every
white man in it under surveillance and
compelled to do duty at the front
The absurd claim of only having 600,-
900 men in the field is being rapidly
dissipated by Confederate evidence. The
histories of the States are being writ
ten, and each writer Is doing his best
to make a favorable showing of the
number of men that his State contrib
uted to the Confederate army. North
Carolina has the printed rolls showing
a contribution of $4,000 men to the
cal Society proves to its satisfaction
that Virginia furnished $1,000 more
men than did North Carolina. If this
be true, then there were 34S, 900 men
from the States of Virginia and North
Carolina alone, or more than half the
count such great armies as were drawn
from Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi, Louisiana, Arkansas and Texas
The Historian of South Carolina shows
that that State furnished 10000 men,
and the similar eulegist of Mississippi
proves to his satisfaction that his State
sent about $4,000.
We can we'll afford to leave the dis
eussion in these hands, for by the time
they get thru writing State histories
they will succeed in proving that the
South put more men in the field than
did the North, which claim We viii not
take the trouble to dispute. All of those
who served in the war know that wher-
ever we went there were plenty of Con-
federates, and that nowhere did the
Union army much exceed in strength
the opponents that it had to encounter.
Unquestionably Gen. Lee had more men
actually engaged at Gettysburg than cid
Gen. Meade.

UNPATRIoTIC THoUGRTLEssNEss.

Some of the rising generation of st.
Adams, VT. who have paid too little
attention to the history of their coun-
try, have extended an invitation to Gen.
Bennett H. Young, of Louisville, KY,
to add to the interest of the celebration
of the tercentenary of the discovery of
Lake Champlain, July 5, by giving a
replica OF the raid which he made
upon the village in 1864, when, with
terrorized the country, robbed the
banks and carried off some $3.50, ,090 in
gold and greenbacks. The program Is
for a band, representing the raiders, to
come In from Canada at 8 o'clock and
be r5yiewed by Gen. Young, who is also
set down as one of the orators Of the
occasion. Naturally. this proposition
raises vehement protest from the YER
mont veterans, who see a distinct Diff
ference between Young's raid and the
regular operations of the Confederate
army. Young's raid was like that of
the Younger brothers, QuantreH and
others. not military operation in any
private benefit. 1t contributed nothing
whatever to the success of the .Confed-
crate armies, and was not authorized
as q military operation. It could not
have had any military end in view. and
therefore was simply brigandage, such
as is always severely reprehended and
punished by the military authorities on
both sides. If the misguided young
people would study the history of the
war little, they would understand the
wide distance there is between military
operations and brigandage and muir
der which are committed by private
parties taking advantage of the state
