POLITICAL CONDITIONS OF

Nothing but the good offices of the
United States can save the people OF
Nicaragua from a revolution over the
presidential succession.
Many other Troubles.
Meanwhile other troubles are brew
ing. The people Of the Atlantic coast
side of Nicaragua are seeking to Sc
cede from the other part of the cOun-
try. They claim that for years and
years they have borne the bulk OF the
burdens or the Nlcaraguan government
while getting almost none OF Its Dene-
TITS. The customs on that side or the
great divide are paid in silver. while
those on the Pacific side are paid in

Financial Difficulties.
Meanwhile the country has been IN

debts, is denOuncing Nicaragua bitterly
for a course it has pursued which 70

The government negotiated a loan not
long since pledging the liquor and to-

A very few days later these mOnOpOlies

Short Story

with their host The young man turned
pale.
BE careful, Nastasia PavIovne. He
IS capable of anything
He will not dare touch me. Besides,
love you and fear nothing
When the ballet was over the crowds
dispersed. Several ladies addressed
NastaSia- Prince ArkamOilotf went
from one group to another, an anna
bic, perfect host
Suddenly, without any apparent rea-
son the young girl had q presentiment
OF a coming catastrophe she turned
around, her eyes sought Nel1dlnO1t, ne
was nowhere TO be seen. She rushed
through the thrOngs. but nobody had
seen him. and still 1t was impossible
that he should have left without saying
goodbye to her.
When she reached the door the prince
stopped her.
Just one word. the last" he said
She followed him without distrust-
He opened a door which he carefully
closed behind them She saw an i'm
mense corridor Six fOOtmen stood
there-siX mOtionless giants She PAID
no attention to them and walked on
suddenly she felt herself seized from
behind In vain she struggled, y hands
held her firmly She felt veil being
thrown over her head and she was led
up several stairs. through many doors
and suddenly released
She found herself in a vast vaulted
room The six fOOtmen were lined
up on each side. The prince glared at
her with a ferociOus expression in his
eyes.
At the end of the room two enormous
wax candles were burning in gigantic
church cGndlesticks. On a divan COW
cred with red leather motionless form
was lying.
Nastasia stared at it and her heart
stopped beating.
The form on the divan was the dead
body OF NeledinOff, murdered by the
princes men His uniform was open
and blood was trickling from
wound in his breast.
Nastasia's first impulse was to mas
ter her emotion. She did not want the
prince TO enjoy her suffering
She went up to the body, tenderly
kissed the pale face Of the man she
had loved. Then she threw her arms
about him. rested her head against his
breast and remained silent
Arkamoiloff Eazed at her, purple
with rage. and with Clenched fists. Then,
turning 10 his men. he rOared: Take
that woman away from here"
But before the men reahced her, Mas
tasia stood Up, threw back her head
and said 10 Arkamoiloff: That was
my first kiss OF love and my last. To-
morrow I enter a convent But you
have not crushed me. II is easier for a
prince 10 become an assassin than a
lover"

Cromwell Refuses Crown
By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TT WAS 255 years ago-May 10 1857
that Oliver Cromwell. with the
- common sense that always
characterized him. refused to
receive the crown when had
been offered 10 him by an
almost unanimous vote OF parliament
To the high and mighty funcJiOna-
ries who bore him the exalted honOrs
Cromwell returned the short, sharp,
emphatic reply I cannot undertake
this government with that title Of
king. and that is my answer TO this
great and mighty business"
There were two main reasons why
Cromwell turned down the royal title
In the first palce. he knew that he
was already, 10 all intents and pur-
poses, king Of England, the empty title
alone being the only part of the bust
ness he did not possess And for that
he cared nothing Nobody ever fooled
Oliver Cromwell His brain was as
clean as a whistle. He saw right
through sll the excellent fOppery OF
the world, and right well did he know
that the crown was a mere -bauble-"
therefore, when they came 10 him with
the aeJeWeled thing, he ordered them
TO take II away. He wanted none Of
it. He knew that he had the power.
and that was all he cared for. He
knew that his word was law. and that
from one end Of England TO the other
MS viii was supreme; and for the TIM
sci and red tape Of things he would not
give a penny
In the second place. Cromwell knew
that the "IrOnsides.' that wonderful
army that had made the name Of Eng
land to be feared the world over would
not stand for a monarchy While the
parliament was debating the question
Of the crown Cromwell said 10 the
committee Gentlemen my soldiers
are no common men. They are cody
men, and viii not prove false to the
great things of this government
ask you, therefore. not to put their pa
thence to the trial" In fact the leaders
OF the IrOnsides had already spoken. (

A BRUTE
BY EDMUND JALAUX.

wv THEN Catherine II, followed by
w her whole court, entered the
hall, Mile. Mastasia PavlOv-
ma Vetzky found a chance to be alone
with young count NeledinOff They had
merely time to exchange a few words,
for prince ArkamoiIoff. the favorite Of
the empress, who was giving a feast In
her honor. surprised them, and walking
slowly up to them. he led the young
girl away TO her seat at the table.
When the first part Of the enter
tainment was over. the empress retired
and the first strains Of the dance music
noated through the air. the couples ar
ranged themselves and Nile. Vetzky
was about to join them when prince
ArkamOiloff again took her arm and
led her into the winter garden
It was a great hall, the roof Of which
was supported by a number Of columns
shaped like palm trees. Trees and
shrubs from all countries made the
immense room like a tropical forest
and among them were canals with tep-
id, scented water.
Prince Arkamoiloff pointed to
chair, sat heavily down in another
himself. and said: 1t was tonight that
you promised TO give me an answer
Nastasia Pavlovna-"
A shade OF sadness and despair came
into the young girls face.

The prince took the girls frau, sIen-

giant paw

growled.
Nastasia looked straight into his eyes
and said fearlessly-
You may crush me. prince, but you
cannot force my affection"
She left the winter garden proudly
and never once looked back.
ArkamOiloff turned purple with fury
and clenched his fists
Nastasia went up 10 the count Neled-
inOff and told him OF her conversation

while the order was being restored in
the person of Cromwell or any one else
And right here appears the real
greatness Of Oliver Cromwell Had he

offer Of the crown. and plunged his
country into another civil war, a war
compared with which the one lust

he could have raised q large army,
and being great general. the clash be-
tween his forces and the Ironsides
would have been a long and bloody
one, enta1itng unspeakable woe and
misery upon the commonwealth.
Cromwell refused TO be the author OF
his country's ruin and in so doing
raised himself TO the level OF the
greatest patriot Of history.
But few greater or Erander men have

STREET CAR CROWDING.

FL PaSO, Tex May II
Editor FL PasO Herald:
Your editorial in The Herald Monday
night about Inconsistent Street Car
Service" is a very timely talk for the
benefit Of the Boulevarders. My I'M
Outstanding is that former mayor
Sweeney is the cause Of the present
condition, in that ne was told that he
would not be let off the Fort Bliss car
until ne got to Cotton avenue when
the street car company was trying 10
help out the suburbanites by putting
in force the rule, you say, should be
adopted now. He notified the COM
pany that its cars must stop and take
on passengers at any corner and on any
car.
/ notice that many people who live
west Of Cotton avenue Will get on
Fort Bliss car when a Boulevard car is
standing at transfer station.
This seems to me to be an imposition
on good nature and especially If the
passenger happens TO be a woman, as
the men generally stand back and let
a woman get onto the car first and
thereby get a seat, or else get up and
give her seat
A working man or woman who has
to be on a car 10 to 80 minutes is forced
to stand up while the short ride pas
senger is seated and the Boulevard cars
are probably running lightly loaded.
hope you will not let up on this IN
til something is done to remedy the IN
pleasant situation. Yours truly,
