Wyoming makes her formal how today
as a state and takes her place along side
ef the other 43 states.
The man who objects to forty-four
stars on the iiag because the blue field
will be overcrowded, and wants to go
back to thirteen, is not likely to find his
motion seconded. Thirteen stripes are
all right, but every state is entitled to its
star and will have it, eyen if the number
ultimately rises to fifty or know the
reason.
CALL.
Bro. Sherman hastens to get into the
soup by fiercely attacking Mr. Thomas
the republican nominee for the state sen
ate. He brazenly charges that Mr.
Thomas is dishonest and rides on a rail
road pass. The charge is a lie to start
with and the liar who utters it is fully as
soft as he is dishonest. He is urging
Hon. F. E. White, a pronounced 1$. & M
man who always rides on a pass, for the
same legislature that he denounces Mr
Thomas unfit for, when he knows White
is a thorough railroad man. This demo
cratic advocate will have to support
either F. E. White or Billy Neville before
this campaign is over for the legislature,
both of whom are pronounced railroad
men and he will be asking the alliance to
support them. He has always howled
for C. II. VanWyck for public office
knowing t,he old general "was yaporing
around our county fairs denouncing rail
roads, with his pockets stuffed full of
railroad transportation and bragging
that it was honorable to "forge off of
the enemy.'? Mr. Thomas is not a rail
road man, does not ride on a railroad
pass and is a farmer and an honest man,
and the flatulent editor of the Journal
will oppose him and support a strait out
railroader during this campaign. Al
liance men mark th's prediction.
To hear the average democrat howl
about the Lodge Election Bill puts one
in mini of the ravings of democratic
statesmen over the Reconstruction Meas
ures as they came up when adopted and
acquiesced by the American people as
wise and just laws. Any measure that
will prevent fraud and violence at the
polls in the south will be denounced as
unconstitutional by every dough-face in
the democratic camp. It is the old copper-head
argument "Unconstitutional."
If the democratic party of the south
don't want a Federal Election Measure
enacted let that party stop its election
frauds. The law applies north as well as
south. Who is afraid of such a measure
encroaching upon any ones rights in the
free north? It is the ballot box stuff ers
of the south and the dough-faces of the
north who are afraid of this measure
A FARMER TESTIFIES.
Inten Ocen.
The New York World is acquiring the
merit of candor, free trade organ though
it be. It has permitted a fellow named
"Willson, with two l's, to write column
after column of falsehood.as to the prices
of American-made farm implements at
home and abroad, in which the American
farmer ia assured that he pays mere for
his implements than is charged by the
same makers for tbe same articles when
shipped to foreign countries, pretended
home and foreign rates being quoted.
The Inter Ocean long exposed the falsity
of the figures, but the World kept on
printing Mr. Willson's stuff.
The farmers, however, are begining to
write to the World, one of tnem in words
and figures as follows, to-wit:
68 Bridge Street, Amsterdam. War on
the farmer. Ju3t bought a hay tedder
the past week for $25 which you repre
sent as selling to farmers at $45, while
the foreigner could buy it for $30.
Now, if all the reading matter in the
World is aa correct as about the hay ted
der, the less we farmers have to do with
your paper the better it will be for us.
Yours respectfully,
Josiah Wabeth.
We just reprint the letter in full assur
ance that no western democratic paper
which has been copying Mr. Willson's
falsehoods from the World will copy this
correction which the World itself i3 forced
to make.

THE FIRST BATTLE.
War Declared in Central
America and the First
Battle Fought.
CAUTEM ALAN FORCES DEFEATED
San Salvador's Troops Repulsed the
Invaders and Forty People
Killed Honduras and Mexl
coTake a Hand.
New Yoiik, July 22. Private di
patches received here yesterday, accord
ing to the Herald, announces that war
between Gtiuteiuala and Sin Salvador
was precipitated by the final refusal of
the bitter to consent to the union of the
five states, long talked of. A reply to
this effect was the signal for Gautemala
to invade San Salvador with armed
troops. The provis;onal president of
San Salvador, General Ezeta, took com
mand of his troops and routed the in
vaders. So far as known only forty
were killed.
Promted by this defeat, 2,000 Gaute
malans are advancing to reinforce the
routed ranks. Honduras, as the ally of
Gautemala, is hurrying troops forward.
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, for pruden
tial reasons, have allied themselves with
San Salvador.
Mexico, although repeatedly appealed
to by San Salvador, both for recognition
and assistance, has not until now shown
her hand. She Las concentrated troops
on the Guatemalan frontier in the state
of Chiapias. Orders have been issued by
the Mexican minister of war to these
troops to invade Guatemalian territory
in case Guatemala should invade that of
Salvador, Guatemala will appeal to the
United States for the latter's protection
as against Mexican interference.
City of Mexico, July 22. A special
from Guatemala says the ministers of
Costa Rica and Nicaragua yesterday
signed with Guatemala a treaty of alliance
They demand of General Ezeta in the
name of the United Central alliance:
1 . That he leave the supreme com
mand in San Salvador.
2. That the legal regime be establish
ed in accordance with the San Salvador
constitution as before June 22, the date
of the assination of President Menindez. j
3. That a general amnesty be granted
to all those who participated in the revo
lutionary movement in San Salvador.
Honduras has bound herself to this alli
ance by a preyious treaty with Guatemala.
Guatemala is daily increasing her
forces on the San Salyador frontier. The
commanders are commanded to remain
on the defensive. One general disobeyed
this order and has been subjected to a
court martial.
The report of the defeat of the Guate
malans by the San Salyadorians is de
clared untrue. It is said that it wts
only a defeat of Salvadorian insurgent
A special from Chiapas, near the
Guatemalan frontier, says the revolution
ary movement against President Barril
las has obtained considerable headway
and Barrillas is preparing for it.
A representative of San Salyador here
has shown to the Associated press corres
pondent telegrams from General Ezeta
claiming that the report of the battle
sent on Saturday was accurate.
