The war is over in Nicaragua Tho
dove OF peace isn't lowering over the
country yet, as the neighborhood isn't
safe, but the revolutionists are in the
saddle. and the last vestige of Zeiaya's
government has been pulled up by the
roots and thrown out in the sun to
dry out. When order has been restored
IN the Central American republic It
will probably be maintained until the
party "agin the government" feels
strong enough to start revolution Of
its own. These revolutions are rather
amusing to the outside world, but since
they are always fatal to q number Of
the inhabitants Of the country they are

AS a pirate Captain Kidd earned tho
right to be taken seriously. He made
a lasting reputation IN his chosen pro-
fession, and the story of his exploits

inside information as he possessed on
the subject, perhaps Mr.. 6ibley's heart
failure is explained.
It seems to have been demonstrated
that two thirds of the increase in popu-
lation of tho United States for the past
ten years is due to immigration. OF the
IA 40o0, 900 people added to the population
since 1900, 100000 came In on the tide
Of immigration. The natural increase
was but 100000. This fact will un-
doubtedly be the basis of much discus
SION. There are many who will main
tain that the natural increase, consider
ing the 76, ,00O, 900 the country boasted in
1900, is abnormally small. All of the
facts should be known, however. before
any conclusions are reached.
