New Er. in Nicaragua.

The consensus of opinion is that to-
day, New Years, when Adolfo Diaz as
sumes the Presidency of Nicaragua, a
new era of peace begins for that un-
happy little republic SO long and so
ipersistently torn by internal strife.
The last popular election in Mica
ragua to elect a President according
to modern democratic methods was
held on the second day of November.
The former election took place twenty
one years ago, in 1891, and there is
a grown-up generation that did not
know what polling place was or what
was the practical meaning of suffrage.
For all these years the Nicaraguan peo-
pie were deprived of that universal
right. In 1891 the people, after thirty
years of peace under the Conservative
party, elected candidate from the city
of Leon. Two years later the party
split and revolution broke out. Ever
since then, April, 1893, the Nicaraguans
have been involved in interneeine strife
and disastrous wars that have cost
thousands of lives and millions of dol
lars of property exhausting the ma
TONS treasury and devastating its am
pie agricultural fields.
Nicaragua during two months of
1912 experienced the most barbarous
struggle that could bcfall this unfortu-
nate country. The minister of war
wanted to be President and rcbeled
against the government Tie minister
was powerful and ready to execute a
coup d'etat He organized a strong
force, enlisting in his ranks the Lib
erals and Zelayistas, who two years ago
were deposed from the government. |
The State Department in Washington,
that the success of the move
ment undoubtedly would mean the re-
vival in Nicaragua of the atrocities
that took place under the Zelaya re-
yime, resolved to strike a decisive
blow to this revolution business in Cen
trail America. The American forces
lided the government of Diaz to pacify
he country with the result that Mena,
he insurrectionary leader, like Castro
and Zelaya, is now a mar without a
country. He will never be permitted
o return to his native land. That was
he punishment administered by Rear
Admiral w. H. H. Switzerland, COM
handing the American forces in Mica
aqua, to whom Mena surrendered.
The revolt over, Senior Diaz called
,or popular and direct elections, set
rec all political prisoners of war, and
lisbanded the army of the government
Still the Liberals declared that they
would remain away from the polls be-
ause the American forces remained in
he country. But the best element of
he Nicaraguans wanted peace, and the
American forces were there for that
urpose. Diaz was elected in a free
nd fair election, without military or
government influence or oppression.
)iaz was elected because he was neither
general nor lawyer, but a business
ian, whom the country needed at the
cad of the government

under annual Disciplinary Questions

tho 5Oth. session Of said conference was
referred to the District Superintendent
The D. SIS met and selected Simpson
N. E. Church OF Charleston, W. Va.
Since the time OF that selection the said
church building has been sold. and the
said church themselves at the time of
our conference will have no building in
which to worship Of their own, much
less one in which for us to hold confer
epce.
1t is reported that we are to hold orr
session in the basement OF 1. church of
the W. Va. Conference. It is further
reported that the present pastor had an
invitation recalled to a lecture To he
given in said W. Va. Conference after
the said church learned that he il a
colOred man. Owing to these changes
much discussion has risen about the
wisdom Of holding the conference in
the said Charleston. Two conditions
race us. the delicacy on the part Of
simpson church notifying us of the
changed conditions making them ma
p'e 70 entertain ns. and the impropriety
or us seeking another place without be-
ing so notified. In view of the above
reported conditions, the Baltimore
Preachers Meeting requested the writer
20 write the pastor at Charleston for in

same day requested, December End. n
