sure. there are many Nicaraguans nat
urally strongly opposed to the present
administration i'm their country.
They are of the opinion that Zelaya
sees the game is up and is anxious To
make his departure in safety. He
would rather stand in the eyes of the
world as having been forced out by the
United States than by his own people,
and this is why he has provoked re-
prisals by the brutal shooting of Can
non and Groee.
The statement issued by Zelaya to
the effect that the revolutionists had
employed the two Americans to mine
the San Juan river and that they were
captured after they had exploded one
mine near the transport Diamante. is
given no credence here. This version
is eontradicted by a deserter from. the
Zelasan forces, who confirmed the pre-
viors report that each of the Americans
WAS captured while accommodating
some hills near the river.

DECORATION DAY.

May 80 is a day of sad and sacred
memories. 1t has been set apart
originally by custom and later by con-
gress-as the day on which, each year.
appropriate respect is paid to the mem
ory of the men who gave up their
lives that the nation might live.
In the sacred duties of the day-tfe
occasion for the strife is forgotten.
Bitterness is eliminated from the
hearts of the survivors and those who
believed in their cause. The passing
years have assauged the painful in
tensity of the grief, which has given
away to feeling of acceptance of the
results of the great struggle.
The predominating sentiment now IS
pride in the noble gallantry of the
men-the living as we'll as those who
fell on sanguinary fields-who so pat
riotically responded to their country's
call. Reverence is felt for their hero
ism and everywhere in this broad
land is the sense Of grateful apprecia-
ton for their noble sacrifice. .
This year the occasion is of double
Importance in that both Memorial day
and Decoration day occur tomorrow.
While the regular Decoration day ex-
ercises will, by custom, be postponed
till Monday, there will be an addi-
tional significance to the services for
the dead held Sunday.
In Fargo, as in every part of the
country, there will be fitting and ap-
propriate union services in which all
the churches will participate and elo-
quent tribute will be paid to the
memory of those who have gone be-
fore. Monday will be devoted to the
decoration of the graves during the
forenoon and in the afternoon the
full ceremonial session of the John F..
Reynolds Post of the Grand Army If
the Republic will be held.
1t is an honor to any citizen to be
able to par -ipate in these exercises
and to ASST. he survivors in placing
garlands on the last resting places of
the heroic dead. Business will be gem
orally suspended SO fitting recogni-
tion to the occasion can be given.

HERE'S TO KING MANUEL.

The youthful king of Portugal has
performed an act of chivalry-which
has directed the admiring gaze of the
whole world toward the court at Lis
bon.
1t will be remembered that the cir
cumstances which elevated this beard
less boy to the Portuguese throne IN
February of last year were both tragic
and sudden. The murderous scheme
of the assassins contemplated the de-
struction of the entire royal house
hold. But, happily, there were only
two victims-one of them the father
of the present young sovereign and
the other his brother. 49,
The cablegram which spoke of the
heroism of Queen Amelie are vividIy
recalled.
After King Carlos and Crown Prince
Louis had been fatally shot the royal
wife and mother-in obedience to the
instinct of affection and wholly for
getful of the presence of danger
flung herself in front OF her little son
Manuel and caught the assassins bull
let in her own flesh.
1t was the marvel of the hour that
she escaped instant death.
Whether it beats beneath the royal
purple or within the faded gown of
homespun-marvelous is the sacred
thing called mother-love.
King Manuel has won for himself
snug place in the worlds heart by
formally decorating her with royal
honors.
The world is not so deeply absorbed
in the pursuit of selfish ends that 4
can fail--either to detect the beauty
or to experience the thrill of admira-
tion--which this simple incident
awakens.

bearing the Chicago business men
westward on their trip to Seattle will

boosters in the financial and CONNER
cial life Of the windy city will be the
guests of Fargo. They are to be we.
coined and dined and feted by the
members Of the commercial club.
It will be a pleasing feature in a
social way. 1t should have a far
reaching commercial significance.
Chicago is the logical financial center
Of the west and any movement that
will result in better relations between
that city and this part of the north

PARTY LINES.

Discussing the break in the party
lines over the tariff measure, The
New York Journal of Commerce OBJ
serves: ..t
The vote in the senate on the Nc
Cumber amendment to the Aldrich bill,
putting rough and undressed lumber
on the free list, furnishes perhaps as
fair a measure as we are likely to get
of the break in the party lines over the
tariff policy. Efghty-one votes were
cast, out of a total membership of 92.
and the amendment was defeated by
Sc to 25. OF the 56 negative votes SO
were cast by republicans and II ky
democrats, and of the 25 in favor CT
the amendment is were from republic
ans and only 10 from democrats.
Nearly twice as many democratic SEN
tors showed themselves in favor of the
protective duties on lumber than were
opposed to them, while more than ne
third as many republican Otes were
for their removal as in favor of their
retention. A raw material of such
universal use afforded a fair test, for,
notwithstanding the shallow pretense
of one or two democrats that these are
revenue duties. everybody knows that
they are retained solely for their pro-
tective effect, and that is what fur
nished the motive of southern senators
in supporting them.
This division Of the vote cannot in
dicate fully the actual division of SEN
timent on the subject even in the sen
ate. for men in politics are ayerse to
breaking away from party lines on any
test question and will do so only from
strong inducement or earnest convic-
ton. Democrats voting against the
removal of protective duties on a raw
material were acting in fragrant op-
position to the professed policy of
their party, policy traditional with
it through all past conflicts, and they
had no reason or excuse except that
protected interests in their states were
demanding such action. 1t may not
have been alone lumber interests, for
votes touching one schedule are traded
for those touching another in the log
rolling process by which protective
duties are maintained. On the other
hand the republicans voting against
these duties could have had no reason
for breaking away from the party
leadership except conviction that
their retention is injurious to the in
terests of the country at large and in
conflict with sound national policy.
We doubt If one-half the republican
senators support the Aldrich bill be-
cause they believe 1t to be a wise or
just measure or sympathize with its
general purpose OF high protection.
