THK people nf Illinois are suffering from an evil that eceu civil service re form—the panacea, so called, for all evils—cannot relieve. It's legislature is still iu session.

THE Chinese are not IN it this year, it seems. A big strike of hod carriers was participated this week iu St. Louis, be cause a contractor attempted to put tive Chinamen to work at the business.

A "JINQOIST," aeoordiug the reference book of a lot of peop'e who roll their trousers up because it is raining in London, is a man whose make-up con tains a generous proportion of patri otism.

MOXTJ.HENTS have been erected in several Central and 8outh American states in honor of the author of the Monroe doctrine, but it is safe to eav that the author of the Cleveland doctrine will have no such honor conferred upon him.

A GREAT many papers took up a great deal of space in (giving Senator Voorhees' latest v:ews on th»* ti aucia! question They took occasion, however, to print the views on the same day they were expressed, to be sure that they wore the latest.

THE administration is apologizing for the part it played in tho Nicaragua affair. The principal duty devolving upon the present administration has b«eu to apologize for its doings—and there have been few things done that haven't de manded an apology.

AN exchauge remarks that perhaps the scheme for the union of the Central American nations may be helped by tbe present complications of one of them.

IT is said th S^retary Qresham has been oflered $25,000 a year to Act as president of the Pulm*n company.

He will tlnd that hustling for a living is altogether different from drawingsaiary from Uncle Sam.

IT is notieeable that tbe newspapers which found much to condemn In the attitude of the Harrison administration towards Chili, when the officials of the latter country abused and killed ^United States sailors, are quite well pleased with Great Britain's treatment of Nicaraugua, a p'iiny and Impotent power as compared to Chili. They called it "bullying" in the Chill case, but assert that it Is but justice in the latter Instance. _____

THS published statement made this week by Armour A Co., to the govern ment, shows that during the las' sixteen months that tlrdl has lasi money on nearly every head of oat tie slaughtered, This is not at al surprising, and only serves to con firm the opinion held by a great many persons that the Armours, Swifts, Mor rises, eso., of tbe pwokiug world, are really public philanthropists, who have only the real interests of tbe dear people at heart. They lose money on every steer or hog killed, and know it, but they make up for thin by killing a great many.

HISHOP FAUXW8, of Chicago, who is responsible for the temperance saloon stnrted in the business quarter there, has some radical ideas on the practical part the church is taking in a solution of the temperance question. In an address there this week before an assemblage of church people and members of the laity, to discuss tho real missions of the church, said: "The church is lolng little to »lay to establish resorts to take tbe plaoe «f the saloon. The church has allowed tha saloon to have the very best thiags in the country. We have never come down to meet the praotioal needs that called forth the saloon. The church must be more praotioal in its methods it must take the gospel to the people. Instead of putting ohurches in retired, quiet places they should be built in the noisy thoroughfare, and they should be open night and day. It's a fatal in'stake of the church tO leave a poor feeble mission where the most aud the hardest work is to be done. Instead of building churches in State street they ara leaving the downtown districts where they are most needed. Across the street from the concert hall we must erect churches to give the people sacred music. We must meet men where the£ are." If practical men like this bishop, rather than theorists, were at the front in ohurch work, perhaps we would no(| hear so much of the talk about the laboring people being arrayed against the church. Concerning the latter phase of the church question, the president of Chicago trade and labor assembly used this language: "Preaohers will always do opposition among the poor so long as they wink at the sins of the rich. If the rich man not rent his property for 'slums' there would be no 'slums,' aud if ttie ministers refused to give their right bauds to such ricri inen the 'slums' would HJOO di-sapp *ar. At the present time I fear th-re aro too tnany ministers who tell the people what to do, but do not show them an example. If the ministers were true to their mission and wentdo«vn atnjng the laboring people, the workingm^n would have no neces $ity to use fon-e to secure his rights

LITTLE NICARAUGUA'S TROUBLES. Little Nioarausrua, with its 51,000 square mites, noc aw large as North Carolina, New York, Arkansas, or Alabama, and a population of 400,000 souls, seems to have been skilled enough in its diplomacy to place itself in a positicfti* where our government had^a narrow escape from declaring itself on the Monroe doctrine. Nicaraugua admitted the justness of Great Britain's claims in many particulars, and as to their extent asked that they be submitted to arbitration. Arbitration was refused by Great Britain, bully that she is when a weaker power is concerned, and we had the spectacle presented of a oountry whose commercial and political interests are in conflict with ours, intrenched on the continent, its flags flying over a free republic, with some doubt as to what tho end would be. If the vigorous declarations of President Monroe in his famous mecsage of 1825 are to be accepted as the belief o* the majority of our people, they will not approve a policy that will tamelv submit to a subjugation of an American republic by a power whose interests are directly opposed to ours. Fortunately, however, San Salvador guaranteed Great Britain her money, and for tbe present the trouble is ended.

This present instance Isn't the first one In which Nicaraugua has been embroiled with an European power. In 1878 a German oonsul at Leon, in the department of the same name, complained that tbe Nlcarauguana had mistreated himself and family, in violation of the treaty arrangements between the two countries. When Germany complained, the irritating little country, by ita offl cers, replied that the matter waa the outgrowth of the consul's family relations, and refused to pay any further attention to his claims. Then Germany sent a fleet of Ironclads down along the

Nloarauguan coast, with orders to secure reparation and indemnity, or find out the reason why. Like the coon in the Davy Crockett story, Nicarangua gracefully came down, paid an indemnity of 190,000, or nearly half the amount asked in the present instance, and oomplled with all the oohdltlons demanded by Germany, whiob had first submitted them to both the United State* and Great Britain, and received their approval In the Interests of international justice. In the present instanoe, however, Great Britain doesn't seem to have any one's approval but relying upon our present foreign policy has done just what she pleased, refusing to submit to arbitration, and declining to ask any power's approval of measures that are more sradioal thin those adopted by Garmany under pra4tioally similar provoca* tion.

TFiRftE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, MAY 4,189 5.

THK bones of William Walker, tbe Nloarauguan filibuster, wtfuld no doubt turn in their grave—if there's enough left of them to turn, after a thirty-live years' rest In Hondurau soil—did they but real las that the country In which ho hoped to found his empire of conquest, was In trouble and ripe for one of tbe regular Central American revolutions, Tbe attention that has been Attracted jo Nicaraugua recently revises interest^! an American's attempt during the latter part of the 50's to conquer Nloaraugda, and with it for a starter, to found an empire of which he should be the absolute ruler. Empire founding is not a very profitable occupation on this continent, as several distinguished—and dead—gentlemen discovered. The picturesque American, who was a native of Tennessee, »nd had been successively a lawyer, ctor and journalist, before his burning ambition manifested Itself, was just at tbe horoio age, when he began his proposed conquest of Ntoaraugua in 1858 There was trouble in Nicaraugua —there always seems to be trouble of some kind down there—and some Amer* icatt speculators hoping to profit by it, induced Walker to take a hand thoreln. He won a number of battles, had himself proclaimed president, annulled the deoree prohibiting slavery, and prepared to have a good time. His prosperity was short-lived, however, and he was sopn driven out of the oountry, which be visited again and again in the hope of carrying out his visionary plans. He did not succeed, and giving up all hope tf oonquerlng Nicaraugua, he was put to death in Honduras, just before the rebellion, for inolting a revolution there. Walker was a freebooter and a filibustered but a man of courage and he was always successful in gathering under his standard many spirits equally as daring, and they feared nothing on, above or below the earth It waa claimed that his expeditions were experiments made by th? slave holders of the South to ascertain the possibilities of founding elsewhere ou this continent their fabled Southern Empire, where traffic in flesh and blood should be unrestricte'd. Walker invested many men in his enterprises an,d many of them still survive, and it seems strange that no reminiscences ^have been forthcoming, incidental to tlie present trouble in Nicaraugua, telling of those stirring events that once attracted so much attention in this country, but were soon swallowed up in the greater ones that followed. g*j va
