Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was born in
Jalapa, in the Mexican State of Vera Cruz
Feb. 81, 1898. He was shot in Sisal, Yucatan,
if Saturdays dispatches from New Orleans
can be believed, Oh the 18th of June last
During the threescore and nine years of his
life he has seen his native country pass from
the condition of Spanish colony to indepen-
dent nationality, and finally adopt and main
tain against heavy odds republican constitu-
ton. In his twelfth year the revolt of Hidal
60 against the Spanish ecclesiastical rule
burst into fame rising higher and higher, till
in 1921 the Spanish Cortes undertook to secu-
larize portion of the wealth of the church,
lost the powerful support of the clergy there
by and with it lost Mexico forever. In the de-
cisive conflict between the Mexican clergy
and the Spanish government, called the war
for independence, Santa Anna first distin-
guished himself, and in 1923, at the age of
twenty-five was named governor of Vera Cruz
Into the chaotic confusion of the next thir-
ty-five years we will not now enter farther
than to name the principal events in Santa
Anna's career. During these -yn"rst the
Church and the Liberal PARTY OF Mexico were
locked in aeaGn grapple. That is the sole ex-
PLANTATION of the infinitude of plots and count
er-plOts, revolutions and counter-revolutions
of which the world is more than weary of
hearing. Santa Anna first found himself op-
posed in 1928 to Iturbide, who had been the in
strument of the Church party in 1921, in shak-
ing off the Spanish authority. Iturbide went
down and his opponent began to rise. In 1929
he became commander-in-chief of the army,
and in 1888 was chosen president. In 1885 he
put down wide spread revolt and proclaimed
himself dictator. In 1886 he was captured by
General Houston at San Jacinto, and compell-
ed to evacuate the territory and acknowledge
the independence of Texas. This forced ac-
acknowledgement was of course repudiated by
Santa Anna as soon as he regained his liberty.
From 1841 to 1874 he was again virtually die
tator. In 1845 Texas was formally annexed to
the United States, and thereupon Santa An
ma was sent into Punishment for ten years.
The next year the war with the United States
broke out; the Mexicans under Arista were
defeated by Taylor at Paio Alto and Resaca de
la Palma; and in 1S47 Santa Anna was recall
ed to lead their armies, was everywhere beat
en- by Scott and in 1S48 left the country again.
In 1858 a reaction took place; Santa Anna re-
turned to Mexico and was made president
Two years later he was compelled to yield to- The
rising tide Of Liberal sentiment, and after
signing perpetual abdication sailed for Ha-
vana, where he continued to reside until
tempted to engage in the new adventure
which has terminated SO disastrously for him
and SO well for his country.

The bill Incorporating the Portland, White
Mountains & Ogdensburg railroad passed the
Senate Friday, and has doubtless received the
approval of Governor Hartman
The House usury bill, providing that by con-
sent of the parties seven and three-tenths per
cent interest might be received, was indefinite
ly postponed by the Senate.
The Senate railroad committee reported I'M
animously in favor of the House bill, TO pre-
vent railroad monopolies, which passed the
Senate almost unanimously. The passage OF
this bill is legislative victory for the Man
chester board of trade and the Boston q Maine
railroad.
The special committee on the petitions for a
State Constabulary reported bill to the House
which was indefinitely postponed Friday morn
ing by vote of 157 to 145. Twenty or thirty
members lodged, and there was considerable
elimination and recrimination after the vote
was declared.

simmons track, At one moment the air is filled
with deep-mouthed lamentations that the APP
preparations are too large, and the next with
piteous whining because they are too Smah.
There is not shadow of reason for supposlng
that the sum provided for carrying out the re-
construction act was not fixed upon IN good
faith and with the exercise of ordinary care.
General Sheridan reports that if he had been
left upmolested his proportion of the appro-
nriation would not have been required in his
department.. If more than half million is
needed, it will be the fault neither of Con-
eress nor OF the district commanders, but of
our meddling Democratic President and his
Cabinet

The Argus on Finance.

The Argus acknowledges that it's statement
OF the Treasury estimates was false by an in
genious use of words which seems almost like
an emphatic reiteration of its former declara-
tons. 1t oonfesses that the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue anticipated that the receipts
from that source would fall 100000 short of
the estimate of the Secretary of the Treasury,
in consequence Of subsequent notifications O.
the law, but says that he didn't think the de-
crease would amount to $40 600, O0O,, (which
will be about the sunni" If it should now be
shown that forty.tiue million was In exact ac-
cordance with official estimates the Argus
would maintain its position by adding another
cool five million, and so on ad intafaitum But
not feeling confident that it has explained its
reckless declarations quite satisfactorily, it
makes amends by uttering succession of as
gross falsehoods as ever appeared in single
issue from the American press. If this dimin-
ution in the revenue was anticipated, show" it
asks, "did Congress happen to vote sixty mil
lions bounty to western soldiers (scarcely an
eastern soldier gets any of it) when there was
no money to pay these bounties?" If fair dis
cussion of national questions was what the Ar
gus proposed, it would not leave out of sight
the important fact that at the time of the APP
preparation for bounties, as well as at the end
of the last fiscal year, there was large sur
plus in the treasury, which, added to the di-
minished income from taxes, placed at the dis
posai OF the government sum which was
then thought ample for all its requirements.
But the parenthetical declaration is the
most atrocious of all. The bounty bill "A ORR
ginally reported was open to objection on ar
count of provision deducting all local bonn.
ties from the sum to be paid by the genera,
government, and thus discriminating indirect
ly in favor of Western soldiers. On this
ground it was vigorously opposed and defeated
by members from the Eastern States As
finally passed the bill makes just and equal
provision for soldiers from all parts of the
country. Far from being excluded from its
benefits, many hundreds of our Maine soldiers
are entitled under its provisions, and have
made their applications to the proper depart-
ment. But we pass to another piece of equal
ly intelligent fault-fnding:
"But not only did Congress neglect to pro
vide means for paying appropriations which it
made; it neglected to appropriate for expenses
which 1t ordered to be incurred. 1t set apart
half a million to pay the expenses of the re-
construction act. This sum will paw the ex-
penses of the registration boards perhaps for
one week, to say nothing of the cost of an ar
my for ten States, and a horde of ether
oficers!"
tits bewildering to attempt to follow this
