jieProciamaton of Barrios Declar-
g Himself Dictator of Central
' America May Cause Serious
Trouble
lad Into Ve tne uimeu aiwi,
Mexico and European Powers in
an Unpleasant Controversy.
, Washington, D. U., March 12.
To those conversant with all facts in
rezsrd to the speck of war which has
arisen in Central America, the mat
ter is considered of far graver im
portance than the size ot the countries
directly involved would make it.
Tbefact is, if Barrios persists in his
aiiumption of dictatorship, not only
will Mexico take a lively kand in
the scrimmage, as indicated by
President Diaa energetic pronuncia
tnento, but the United States can
icarcely avoid taking a hand in it,
with the by no means remote proba
bility of European intervention, at
leaft diplomatically, and bringing
up the Monroe doctrine again for
adjudication, poss bly of arms be
tween the United States and one or
more European power. In that
event the little ructions now going
ob in Madagascar, Egypt and China,
and threatened in Afghanistan would
cut a very small figure indeed. The
understanding in diplomatic quarters
here is that Barrios is inspired by
France, and possibly also by Eng
land, in order to render a completion
of the Nicaraguan canal impossible,
and it is readily understandable how
a casus belli is liable to arise any
day if Barrios' troops go charging
throujh Nicaragua, which would
compel armed intervention bv the
Uuited States. A thing which adds
to the probability that British in
fluence is at work there is the fact
that Honduras has conceded Barrios
pretensions. Diaz readiness to
throw down the glove to Barrios is
also attributed to American in
fluence.
Jav Gould has a scheme on foot to
build a railroad right down through
these troubled states into South
America. The money king has
been wise enough to secure Diaz to
him by strong ties, and diplomats
here see Oould back of Diaz herce
proclamation. In this connection
President Cleveland's action this
afternoon in sending a message to
the senate for the purpose ot with
drawing the Spanish and Nicaragua
treaties has a deep significance.
Barrios' proclamation has led friends
of the Nicaragua treaty to urge its
immediate ratification by the senate.
President Cleveland evidently does
not want this done iust now, and, to
provide against all contingencies
proposes to get it into his own hands
as soon as possible. Whether it
tor the purpose of negotiating for
more favorable terms from Nicara
gua, or with a view ot suppressing
the matter entirely until congress
wmcucs next Uecember, and so
doing whatever he can to keep out
of the bad mess iil which the repub
lican administration has been involv
ed through the stupidity ot Arthur
and his dotage cabinet, remains to
te seen, but the belief is expressed
m diplomatic circles to-night that
neither of these bun leome treaties
will again be seen bv senators during
the existing session.
A Wisconsin editor, in writing on
religious tn.Vters, remarked that
Moses was the man who was swal
lowed by the wh.de, and the next
ay he apologized for the error, at
tributing it to the pi oof-reader. The
proof reader then whipped the editor,
and d.tred

Jail ;
Frank Eonhaia Taken Froia
and Lynched-
Independence. Kas., March 14
The Bonham case closed on the 3rd
of February. Sarah Bonham, Charles
Bonham and Elia Bonham were mur
dered. Frank Bonham the onlv re
maining member of the family, was
charged with the crime and was held
at the preliminaiy trial on cliarge f-r
the crime Friday the case came up
for trial in the district cOiKt, and his
attorneys asked for a change of
venue and the judge granted it, and
sent the case to Caerokee countv.
This made the citizens ot his neigh
borhood so incensed that a mob of
about 125 men made a raid on the
1 last night and broke the locks
and doors down and took Frank
Bonham from the jail and went to
the railroad trestle and hung him.
This ends one of the most shocking
crimes ever committed 111 any coun
try. The people were willing ior
him to have a fair trial in this coun
ty, but would not consent to his be
ing taken away from this county.
Since h;s arrest he has maintained a
sullen and indifferent manner and
would not plead when arraigned and
maintained silence throughout, and
his attorneys have never given any
thing to the public that would indi
cate his innocence, and it is the gener
al belief that at the final trial they
would plead insanity.
The Cost of the White House.
Most people believe that the $50.-
000 a year which the president gets
as his salary is the sum total. This
is a mistake. The estimate ot the
amount which congress is to appro
priate this year lies before me, open
at the page relating to the president.
I see that $35,064 is asked tor him
in addition to his salary of $50,000
to pay the salaries ot his subordi
nates and clerks. His private sec
retary is paid $3,250 his assistant
private secretary $2,250, his stenog
rapher $1,800, five messengers each
$1,200, a steward $ 1, Soo, two door
keepers who each get $1,200, tour
other clerks at good salaries, one
telegraph operator, two ushers get
ting $1,200, a watchman who gets
$900 and a man to take care ot fires
who receives $064 a year. In ad
dition to this there is set down $8,-
000 fr incidental expenses, such as
stationery, cat pets and the care oi
the presidential 6tafcles. And fur
ther on, ander another heading,
there is a demand for nearly $40.-
000 more. Of this $12,500 is for
repairs and refurnishing the White
house, $2,500 is for fuel, $4,000 is
for the green house and $15,000 1
tor gas, matches and the stables.
The White house, all told, costs the
country in connection with the pres
ident considerably over $125,000 a
year.
When a Missourian wants an of

Growth of MormonUm.
Mormonism is adapted to the in- I
teliectual capacities ot the masses, J
the multitude of the ignorant and
poor, the wretched, the pariahs of j
society. To these are offered just I
what they are sure always to hunger
for. bold assumption and boundless
asset t;on, great show of authoiiu,
these helping to certitude in faith;
salvation by forms, by the legerde
main ot rite, the hocuspocus o: ini
tiating and anointing : literal inter
pretation of the Scriptures, and pro
fuse quotations ot texts, and special
ly such a ate set in the poetical and
obscure diction of the prophets. The
same minds delight in prodigies, j
" ignotum, pro mirifico." j
The more mysterious the more true.
The secrecy, too, ot the endowments
has a charm, and as well the offices
1
and titles wiiieli each one may pos
sess. Of such regaws and tinsel
this church lias unlimited store. And
who is not flattered by the assurance
that he is of the few wiie and bless
ed of the race, that the mauv outside
his coterie are foolish and doomed?
No doubt, aiso, by setting the stand
ard of morality so lamentably low,
and offering salvation to the worst
on sucn eav terms as external obe
dience and set vice, thousands have
been captured and held. The prom
ise, too, of land is a lure to many.
