MExlco.-To show the ability Of Mexico TO
carry on a war with the United States, i, may
be stated that, on the 3O,h August, 1914, the
expelled ministry of Santa Anna asked for
authority 10 negotiate a loan Of ten millions.
NJ. de la Rosa, the present Minister Of Finance,
who now asks Congress fox power to negoti.
ate a loan Of fifteen millions, was then mem
Der Of the Chamber OF Deputies, and was one
of committee appointed to examine aud re-.
port upon the subject of the proposed loan.-
He reported against it, and his report exhibit
ed the financial matters Of Mexico in de.
plorable condition. 1t appears that the for.
elgn debt of that country amounts 10 more
than fifty millions Of dollars, of which twenty
millions begin to be payable on the lst Octo-
Der, ls47. Mexican bonds being only SO
per cent. in London, would, by another
loan, fall TO 25 per cent, so that loan Of 6f
teen millions would incur sixty millions of
debt. The nation has never had thirty ,hous.
and men under arms since its independence
was completed. Yet the annual army appro.
pria,ions have never been less than twelve
millions of dol,ara. A loan, then, of fifteen
millions, il negotiated, would answer bu, lit.
tie purpose in accomplishing the re.conques.
Of Texas. 1t could only keep the army TO.
ge'her one year-ncw loans would then be
needed for bankrupt treasury and beggared
county.

Cist, show that the annual average mortality
in the city Of Cincinnati, is greatsr than in
the cities of New York, Boston, Philadelphia
London and Glasgow. The amount of NOR.
tali,y is, probably, materially increased by
cases Of pnImonsry diseases imported from

line as the boundary betreen Lova and Nilsson.
ri, in aAits official action relatiue TO the lands on
both sides Of that line. Such being the case.
and as the sales by the United States, Of the
lands in the disputed territory could not, and
were no, intended to affect the claim Of Mis-
souri, to jurisdiction over those lands, by mere
ly describing them as lying in Iowa, uniformi-
ty of action required that the course heretofore
pursued should be continued, and hence the
lands north Of Sulivan's line were proclaimed
for sale in Iowa. In consequence, however, Of
rery numerous petitions. setting forth the injury
that scouU be inflicted on the settlers OF the
southern portion Of Iowa, by selling the lands
in that region, as directed by the Presidents
Proclamation Of 9th May last, it has been de-
,ermined TO postpone the sale Of those lands
till next summer; and an the mean time sim
cerely hope that this question Of boundary wiHt be
finally settled.

POSTPONEMENT OF THE LAND
SALES.

Whatever President Polk may do, ne may
despair Of ever doing any lhngto satisfy some
of his more inscriptions opponents. There
are some men who deem i. mark OF superior
wisdom to find fault with every ACT Of the ad-
minis,ration, no matter how trivial or innocent
it NAV be-. TIC their minds nothing good can
come out of Nazareth, and il seems their de.
light to assume look of wisdom-magnlfy
molehiIls into mountains-pervert truth, and
NANTES! settled determination that no fair
and candid representation of the acts Of the
administration shall have currency if their eff
forts can prevent it. In this category falls oc.
casionally the editor Of the Hawkeye. We
are sorry TO find that, sometimes, his prejudl-
ces allow him 10 be some few removes from
wha, is just and generous. Viewing some
topics through their distor'ing medium, ne
sometimes -unintenlonally we suppose
misrepresen,s subjects upon which the truth
would serve him better. In this spirit. we
should suppose, was pu, forth the article IN
the las, number of the Hawkeye upon the
subec. Of the postponement of the land sales
at Fairfield. We do not hesitate 20 pronounce
that article a sheer misrepresentation of the
facts. and the expressed motives which IN
duced that pos,ponement. Nearly one year
since these sales were postponed at the ear
nest solicitation Of those who were residing
upon the lands advertised for sale. The al
legged scarcity Of money. and the consequent
Improperly Of enforcing the sale under such
unfavorable circumstances, were the reasons
! for that postponement. i was found that:
this fall,as the period Of the sales approached
| circumstances had not materially changed for
the better, and petitions for further postpone
ment were accordingly extensively circulated
among the settlers. Upon the reception of
these petitions by the Department such post
| ponement was ordered. The assertion that
| the boundary question influenced the Depart.
| ment, or that i, has manifested any disposition
! TO favor the claims of Missouri, or TO deyate
| from the former practice Of regarding ''Sulll-
vans Line as the boundary between Iowa
and Missouri, is unsupported by particle Of
evidence, thong b, as we are sorry 10 perceive
i, is reiterated by the Gazette. The keosau'
qua Times, a wing paper, undoubtedly pos
sessed OF correc! information upon the subject,
as i, must be acquainted with the wishes of
the settlers, says the postponemen, was IN
tended to be measure of relief to them, and
this is the reason assigned in the letter from
the Commissioner Of the General Land Office
which we publish below. We commend The
last sentence Of il to the consideration of our
readers, and challenge any one to find in i. a
single sentiment favorable to the claims Of
Missouri. No such feeling can reasonably be

~ One Of the grea. objects of the republi.
can party is the reduction Of the tariff. The
Union" will take up the subject in a few
days, and discuss the whole system in a reg.
uar manner. AS Mr.. Walker emphaticalIy
said, " the tariff must be reduced to the reve-
nue. Standard The manufacturers are as
yet making enormous profits, at the expense
Of the rest Of the community. But the num-
Der of the manufacturers is very small, com.
pared with the whole society. An estimate
has just been made, by which !, appears tina,
from 1888 to 1910 /" the manufacturing popu.
Iaion has increased 23l ,343. and the people
who are TO feed them have increased l,485,.
l0O." Every consideration, indeed, ofjus,ice
and equality among the differen. sections Of
the country and classes of the community,
conspires with the soundest principles Of po-
lilcal economy. TO recommend importan, re.
duciions Of the tariff. and 10 bring abou. an
equalization Of burdens as we'll as blessings
