receives a salary of little more than
$1,000 a year. While he may not be re-
elected for a second conservative term,
he is eligible for future election. While
congress is not in session he is assited
by standing committee of five deputies,
who advise him on all matters that or
dinarily would be acted on by the con-
gress itself. AS in Panama, there is no
vice president but three designates,
executive power in case Of the death,
| absence from the country, resignation or
incapacity of the president.
Just now there is a revival of the move
| ment to re-establish the Central Ameri-
can confederation, all Of the six republics
| to go together and form the United States
of Central America. Paid egents are
travelling through these countries and
| talking up the plan, though II cannot be
| stated definitely who is financing the
| to do with the movement. 1t feels that 1t
has solved the problem Of governmental
| stability and does not care to mix up
in any confederation where its peace and
prosperity might be jeopardized.
| The confidence of the outside world in
| the peace of Costa Rica is shown by the
| fact that when 1t was agreed by the
General American peace conference of
| Washington. held in 1907, that there
should be peace court established,
where the differences between the various
General American republics could be set
tied. Costa Rican site for the court was
selected. Andrew Carnegie gave the
money with which to build the structure.
| Costa Rica is particularly proud Of its
educational system, and calls attention
always to the fact that there are more
school teachers In the republic than there
are, soldiers. There are more than 30 OOO
school children and more than 1000
teachers In the public schools. Educa-
ton is In a measure compulsory and the
teachers are perhaps the best paid in all
Central America. The result Is that
Costa RIGA has the lowest ratio Of illit-
crates perhaps between the Rio Grande
and the Amazon.

SAN JOSE DE COSTA RIGA,

h MAY 10, IOAS.
The people Of Costa Rica feel that their
republic does not deserve to be classed
with the other republics Of Central Ameri-
ca. It has not had a revolution for SO
many years that its people have almost
entirely ceased to think Of the military
power as a means for redressing real or
fancied wrongs. Perhaps this may be at
tributed to the strange fact that the con-
stitution Is recognized and obeyed by the
officials in power. This constitution diff
fers very little from those Of the other
Central American republics. 1t has no
greater number of guarantees of the
rights of the people than the constitution
Of Nicaragua, or of Honduras, or of
Guatemala. But here these guarantees
are respected. whereas in most Of the
other republics they are used simply as
things to talk about and to point to when
accused of an arbitrary exercise Of power.
Like most OF the other republics Of Gen.
trail America. Costa Rica's constitution
has clause in 1t providing that no presi-
dent shall be eligible to succeed himself.
Here that constitutional provision is lived
up to, and where such a condition pre-
walls revolutions have little opportunity
to flourish. The government Is divided
into three branches like that Of the
United States-executive, legislative and
judicial The legislative body consists of
a single house, known as the national
congress. 1t is composed of forty-three
deputies and meets annually May 1, re-
naming in session for sixty days-which
term may be extended to ninety days by
vote of the congress. The president may
convene 1t in extraordinary session at
any time the business of the country de-
mands.
There is no manhood suffrage in Costa
Rica. Men who do not own property or
possess some education are not allowed
to vote The deputies are not elected by
direct vote Of the people as are the rep
resentatives in the Congress of the United
states. They are chosen by electors
there being one deputy for each 5000
Inhabitants or fraction thereof exceed
Ing 1000 This educational and property
qualification clause has been a double
acting factor for good. according to opin-
ion in Costa RIGA. 1t has prevented the
thousands of wholly ignorant voters from
being factor in the elections, and at
the same time has put premium on
education. thousands Of children being
sent to school who might otherwise re-
main away.

OFFICERS AFTER
PISTOL TOTER
CHASED HIM FROM KlNeMoNr
TO. FIRST WARp-MAY CATCH
HIM BEFORE NIGHT.

About noon today Jim Perry, an
Italian, who is employed in the mines
at Kinsmont, shot at Willis Murphy
with a 32-calibre revolver, the shot
missing its mark only because of the
'quIckness of the young Irishman, who
knocked the mans arm away just as
he was about to pull the trigger.
The trouble started yesterday when
young Murphy turned the cold water
hose ION the Italian a fight resulting
from this. Murphy said that the ltal-
ian came to this city last night. aud
then went back to Kingmont this
morning, calling Murphy vile name
as'soon as he saw him. Murphy
knocked the man down, and the Ital-
ian in some way got his gun out OF his
pocket and attempted to kill Murphy
Deputy Sherlff Tucker went after
Perry. but when he arrived at King
mont found that he, had come to this
city, and Deputy Tucker and young
Murphy walked in from Kingmort,
tracking Perry. The officers are now
In the First ward where Perry had
gone,' and he will likely be captured
before night. 1f;caught, he will at
least get six months in Jail for carry;
ing a gun, and perhaps lie will get a
pcnltentiary sentence for shooting
with intent TO kill. ~

The streets Of the city since the
recent thaws have been sadly out OF
repair, and the city workmen and
street department have been busIly en-.
gagged in making the proper repairs to
the same.
One Of the unusual occurrences was
that which happened to the paving on
Third street. between Fairmont ave.
nue. and CASTOR avenue, the street
which runs along the end of the Nor,

being fully foot deep. while tho
bricks protrude up In such manner as
to make the street really dangerous.
Nothing has been done so far 10 re.

this should be looked after at once.
Another unusual happening follow.
Ing the freeze and the consequent
thaw WAS the, crumbling Of the stone

Many persons upon viewing this for
the first time thought that some one
had maliciously cut or picked the
stone to pieces, but after looking
closer found that the elements had
really caused the devastation.
Some Of the stone a yard long and
a foot thick each way have almost en-.
tirely fallen to pieces. some of these
weak ones being at the bottom Of the
wall, and this will very likely weaken
the walls In such manner as TO
cause them to fall to pieces.
Many OF the streets in the main
part of the city where repairs had to
be made to sewers and water lines
during the winter have sunk in bad.

making repairs to these places with
as much rapidIty as possible, and the
streets OF the city Will soon be again
in the best Of condition.

or tomorrow, and this will add great

the horses In this city, during the win
ter were removed, and new timbers
placed where needed, after which
boards five feet In length were lalu
at an angle across the bridge, the
boards being laid in different angles,
and this makes 4 very smooth floor
surface, very few cracks, and will
prevent the shoes of the horses from
catching en- the edge OF the boards
and wearing them away so quickly.
While probably little more ex.
pensive, those in charge think that
there will be quite saving in re-
pairs. and that the new floor will be
quite u 'bft more seryiceablc than the
old way.
AS mentioned in the columns of this
paper yesterday, the retaining wall
built at the Fourth ward end of the
new Fourth street bridge is weaken

wall is leaning in such dangerous
manner that all traffic except the
pedestrian traffic had been shut off
from the bridge. and It is likely that
the wall will be torn down aud recon.

workmen can get to work at the job.

than 1t did yesterday, and the con
