RUNNING AWAY WITH

A characteristic incident of tie av
erage Central American revolution
was developed in yesterdays news
from Nicaragua, wherein it appears
that Leader Estrada charges Presi.
dent Zelaya is trying to escape from,
the country with trunk full of
money, estimated at $2O,OOO,OOO, and
begs the United States government to
mead off the fugitive and take the
swag away from him.
The defeated incumbent, after every
revolution in that part of the world
and the incumbent is nearly always
defeated, invariably runs away and
taxes the treasury with him. He
usually goes to Europe and lives in
luxury, not to say splendor, the rest
OF his days, and there is no interna-
tlonal law or usage to compel either
the return of the fugitive or the
money. But always the successful
revolutionists succeed to an empty
treasury.
Uncle Sam has his own peculiar &C.

highly probable that for this reason
