 Zelaya uttered his denial in reply to charges made by President Madriz of Nicaragua that the executions of Groce and Cannon were illegal and that the United States government was justified in its resentment over this action
 The telegrams were as follows:
 "E Castillo, November 14, 1909.

 The telegrams were written in Span. ish and if appeared that Cannon un- derstood the language better than Groce, who made many grammatical errors Groee appealed to Zelaya as Mason, using the intimate terms of thee" and thou" in Spanish.

INTERESTING POLITICS.

One notices, these days, great
many who are ordinarily Indifferent
to political developments, now show
ing keen interest in them.
Even those who often vote politics a
bore at present find the subject fas-
cinating, The reasons are not hid
den. Great changes are felt to be in
the air. The old monotony is break
ing up. New men are rising above
the horizon. Hence it is that the pro-
cess Of history in the making of
which we call politics suddenly
awakcs the curiosity and catches the
attention of man after man who has
long been blase or soornful about
the whole matter.
Such springtime renewals OF the
face of the political world have a
way OF appearing at intervals. One
period of the kind occurred between
1878 and 1915. Men then became not
only interested but active ia political

Scholars left their Studies. professors

They felt that great issues were al

There WAS 8 great uprising against
corruption, a deep stirring among
the people anxious for reform. aud
the result was a restoration OF inter-
est In politics which lasted for some.
years. After that, things laDsed
again until the presidential campaign

dwell upon 1896, when politics be-
came not only interesting, but all
most tragic In the intensity of APP

have seen nothing like the present
revival OF political interest
We admit that these ups and

republic the citizens would follow

They would watch bills in the legis-
