THE LATEST FROM NICARAGUA


IL is 10 be hoped that the latest news
from the Nicaraguan capital will give
cause for thoughtful reflection 10 those
who have been trying 10 diScredit and
embsrrass our government an its per
formance OF exceptionally delicate and
important duties. III has been said in
the last few days that our State De
psrtment acted precipitately and with
out knowledge in its treatment OF Mr.
Zelsya and In it's quasi-recOgnition OF
the Nicaraguan insurgents, and that il
lad "bet Oh the wrong horse" since Mr.
Zelsya had the great majority OF Mic
sragusns on his side and was sure to
win; and there was affected glee over
report that the Zelaysn troops had ex-
ecuted q great stroke which would an
nihilste the rebels, which now seems TO
lave been without foundation.
Now we are told that the people OF
Msnsgua itself are In open revolt
against zelsya, and that they and mem
bers OF the Nicsrasuan Congress de-
nounce him as severely as do any OF
he followers OF General Estrada, while
the action OF the United States H. ap-
plauded and the aid and intervention OF
this country are invoked. In brief. from
within the very precincts of Zelaya's
own capital come the strongest cOnfir-
nation OF the views which were taken
by our government and the strongest
vindication OF the correctness OF the
course which il has pursued
We are not inclined 10 say I'VE told
YOU so." and We certainly do not pre-
tend 10 have had any mysterious pres
cience concerning the course Of affairs.
Nor indeed are We sure that another
day mey not bring another change In the

The inventor Of Esperanto is receiv-
ing many congratulations on attaining
the age Of fifty years, which We may re-
gard as amiable expressions of those
who have become interested in his in
genious but futile attempt TO replace the
English language with an artificial
speech of his own devising. Otherwise,
neither his age nor his services TO hu-
manity would seem TO call for special
remark above those OF thousands OF
other men for whom no celebration is
made. Perhaps 1t is well thus to glorify
Esperanto at this time. for IL is a
pretty safe guess that in another fifty
years IT will be remembered chiefly by
those with an antiqusrian's taste for tho
curious and the more than half for
gotten.

current item from the steady going
State OF Maine tells os the curious antics
OF a pumpkin. which were found on ex-
animation to be caused by an animal
which had got It's head inextricably
caught In a hole In tse gourd; and IL
speaks OF the creature indifferently as
a skunk or polecat 1t Is an unfrasrant
subject. and not OF epochal Importance.
but perhaps II may be worth while for
the thousandth time to correct that COM
mon blunder by remarking that tho
skunk md the polecat are two very dif-
ferent animals. OF entirely different ap-
pearance. habits. and-which Is perhaps
most 10 the point-odor. The polecat or
fitch. which is not we think. found In
this country, is a kind OF weasel. which
has an unpleasant odor. but which alto
gether lacks the power Of projecting Its
offensive secretion to a distance, which
is the unique characteristic OF the skunk
However, either OF the creatures by any
other name would smell as bad.
The unexpected appearance OF Presi-
dent Taft at the Bowery Mission on
Monday night and the words he spoke
to the eager listeners there gave pleas
ure and encouragement because the SYM
pathetic feeling which they expressed
was seen and felt to be genuine. There
was not a trace OF patronage In what
the President said or OF that mere curl
csity which the unfortunate naturally
and deeply resent. His appreciation OF
the conditions which he saw Illustrated
before him. his frank reference TO the
contrast which his own circumstances
presented. his obvious wish that some
helpful stimulus might go out from him
to his hearers. gave those keen discrim-
inators between the true and the false a
clear sight of the man behind the title
1t was a real service which the Presi-
dent rendered in the right spirit-real
because the spirit was right.
