Twas highland sniggIe to his wife
= Lay talking as they were in bed,
Ofal the ills the care and strife,
That fell upon his luckless head.
Here have We been six years. quoth he,
And still we find both ends don't meet:
I've worked as busy as bee,
And yet we barely live and eat!
Our children have no schooling yet;
Indeed | am ashamed Of Ben
Poor fellow I'm 90 much in debt
He's had no chance, though now past ten
But stop how is it?' said his spouse,
Our neghbor gets along so we'll
Have you not marked that Blowse
What'er he has, can always sell?
His boys, he says, know far much more
Than those wbo've been to school year
And then he always knows the law,
When goods are low and when they're dear ;
His farm, though not as large as ours,
Is fast improving every day
I'd like to know what magic powers
Do help him in this way
And | would too, poor sniggle thought,
So next morning forth he went,
To find where Blowse his bargains bought,
And how he had so little spent
Said Blowse-'dear sir, the thing is plain;
The question. no matter how you shape her,
Is answered by six simple words
Idl,cays take my County Poper.'

A prctext to do so. Yet we arc not OF those
who think that The experiment of republican
institutions has been fairly tried and has fail
ed ia Mexico, nor do we believe that the
people would willingly return to colonial or
monarchial government, or con,cntedly re-
main undcr either. Nor DO We believe that
the establishment Of u strong government by
the intervention would add anything to the
happiness and tranquility of the people or
much TO the stability Of their rule. The ex-
ample of Greece is too fresh before US. If
the adaptation Of the Mexican people to dem
o%cratic institutions be problema,ical, their
u%nftness for monarchial government is very
evident. Plots and conspiracies and %revolu-
tons would be as rife as ever.
1t is a matter Of profound regret that this
country, instead of standing in its true rela-
ton of friend and adviser TO the younger and
feebler republics which rave endeavored, as
well as the materials would allow, to model
themselves after us, should have been the
first TO manifest a spirit ofaggression towards
them. If Mexico is now driven 10 throw

the cause of republicanism is to be put back
by the establishment Of another throne in

the ultra democratic party, which has al.
ready commenced the Acknowledgement OF
Mexico by the annexation of Texas, and
which does not conceal its determination to
follow it up with a similar outrage in relation
to California.
This unnatural position renders us unable
to protest with much reason or with much
effect against any changes which the Mexi-
can people may see fit to adop, in order TO
protcc, themselves from our aggression, or

tranquility. Sill, II is our duty to keep "A

FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL II, 1916
NIEXICO.

Inc affairs of NJ xlro are occupying an
unusual share Of alteniion in this country and
IN Europe. The repeated revolutions in
that Distracted country, the instability of cv-
cry new administration, the corruption and
inl ecilily Of every department Of the gov
eminent, and the decline of national power
and prosperity, aII render it eviden, that Mex
leo cannot long remain as she is; and the
impression prevails in Europe that but one
of two courses remain for her, annexation in
some farm or other TO the United States, or
the establishment Of a monarchial govern.
ment. The extreme Jealousy with which
the aristocratic governments Of the old world
have viewed the progress of liberal %inslilu-
lions on this side Of the Atlantic, and the
alarm winch they have manifested at the
grasping disposition of our people towards
territorial aggrandizement, leave no doubt
which Of the two plans would meet their
counlenance and support. But we are not
left to any such differences of the views and
designs Of the chief European governments
The papers which arc regarded as speaking
the views of the administration in England
and in France, have, for several months, in
dulged in specula,ions upon the condition OF
Mexico, and the necessity of a stronger gov
eminent, both as The means of stability to
Mexico, and as "A check upon the territorial
ambition Of the United States. Two plans
have been proposed, one, the re-cohquest OF
Mexico by Spain, which has been received,
naturally, with favor in that country, ~nolwilh-
standing its evident a%bsurdily /; - the other,
the establishment Of an European Prince,
either the Duke Of Monipensier, son Of L,uis
Philippe, in such an event TO be married to
the sister of the Queen Of Spain, or a son OF
Don Carlos. The London Times sees in
the revolution which has placed Paroles at
the head of the administration, the intention
on the part of tho Mexicans, to establish a
"A stronger government, and looks forward
confidently TO the propositions which are to
be made by the extraordinary Congress that
he has convoked. A newspaper has beer
established in Mexico for the avowed pur-
pose Of advocating a constitutional monarchy
although the public sentiment was SO out
ragged by it, that the editor was obliged to
make his escape from personal violence.
1t becomes an important question whal
course the United States would be bound "a
pursue, within what limits it would have the
right to interfere in case of an attempt to es.
tablish a n'onarchial government in Mexico
The people Of Mexico have the undoubted
right to choose their own form of Govern.
ment, and TO alter it at their pleasure. Il
they choose constitutional monarchy or ar
absolute monarchy, il is no business of ours
We may lamen, il, We may, in a inendl,
way, advise or demonstrate, but We cannot

affairs of another government, prevent il l.
