Santa Ana Cone again.

Santa Ana Gone again.
The Mexican people are fond Of Eeyolu-
tion. Once in two or ;hree years they CON
trive to get up an instruction, overturn the
existing powers, and make change. They
don't seem to be particular as to what
kind of material they elevate to office, but
they must make a change. Since they
declared their independence in 1921, they
have had no less than nine bloody R2volu-
tions. Fourteen have held lie Office Of
Chief Magistrate, and Of that number on
" three have gone out peaceab!y. Some
have been shot, and the rest have been
obliged to abdicate, OF have been deposel.
In the first year OF Independence, IturJlde
usurped the throne aud tile OF Emperor.
Another revolution the year after, drove
him from the country, established Con-
stitution modelled after ours, and elected
Victoria President. At the expiration Of
his term in 1929, Cue rro was chosen,
but in third revolution he was xii ed, and
the Presidency given to Bustamentc. San
ia Ana was elected in 1888, but taken
prisoner by the Texans in 1886, 50 that
Vice President Barragan get the Office
In 1887, Bustamente was elected, onl Y tc
be deposed by Santa Ana, in 1888, whom
he in turn deposel in 1889. In 1871
Santa Ana again got the upper hand, ans
kept it during the war with the United
States, when he was made Military Die
tator. Beaten in that war, the populac
turned against him, exiled him again, an(
chose Herrera in his place in 1913. II
had held office but three years when an
other revolution substituted Ari6ta in hi
place, who, in 1858, was compelled to re
sign it to Cevallos. He in turn gave
up to Lombardini in less than six months
from whom Santa Ana, returning again
took it in less than three. Then he at
tempted to initiate Napoleon, and assum
the titles and privileges Of royalty, IT
he was opposed, and the populace, CRATE
full to his enemies for having raised Ii
latest excitement, sided with them, an
Santa Ana fell.
But it won't hurt him. He has exp
rienccd more changes than any other mo
on the American continent. Three or to
times he has bccu elevated to the office
has just vacated, and as many times h
he been pulled down. He takes lis a
verse fortune always easy. While
power he manages to ship few million
dollars to Cuba-he holds on with a teri
BILE grip till that is accomplished, and tn
all things arranged-he slides out, lea
ing his abdication to be published at \
ra Cruz. He rests torthree years. Coo
fighting takes the place Of politics--a ST
gait, apparently, is matter of more m
ment to him than a scoptre. But sar
keeps sharp eye oct. Mexico is &C
tinually in a ferment-he watches clos'
the progress Of matters and things, a
when the auspicious moment comes,
pops in again. The populacc shout w
GOMEZ as Justify as they shouted DO
with him ? three years before. Then
lows the old story-'he returns not
cause he has ambitious views, oh no !
for pure love of the country. He wo
save Mexico. He would pnt an end to
dissensions that ate preyiag upon the V
vitals of the unhappy country DC
Immediately he commences the operat
of shipping specie to Caba, anticipat
aspeedy downfall.
Santa Ana will get back-thcre is
doubt of it. The Mexicsns are ii'
people. They will soon get weary of t
present masters, and who but him, can
their place?
Senior Carrie succeeds him in the Pl
dsncy, and Gen. LaVega holds the ?
ton of Commander-in-C Chief.
