The Mexican Revelation In Formidable Pro
grsss-Jaarez's Authority Paralyzed and
Change Of Government Imminent.
By telegram from Mexico city, published II
the HERALD to-day, we have news Of most sci
rious import, we may say startling. from rhf
sister republic. The intelligence, which Is
dated in the Mexican capital on the 18th in
slant, reached us, by way Of Havana, last
night. 1t presents tho country subject
to the full sweep of an almost sue
cessrui revolution. Juarez's government
was paraiyzed in its executive power. All
complete change even in the form Of the
administration was looked for before th6tI
opening Of the new year. Pronuncismlentos
were OF daily occurrence-their influence
and consequences almost universal. It il
alleged, indeed, that Mexico was never
before In such An unsettled condition, and
II this assertion comes near to tho
truth the present state Of affairs
must be deplorable indeed. Porfrio Diaz was
at the head Of large army. The State Of
Oaxaca proclaimed the revolution. The States l
Of Durango, Aquascalientes, Zacatecas and 4
Coahuiia affirmed the cry, and were moving 4
in aid of their insurgent brethren. Governors
Of States were resigning, the army was dis I
affected aud the Treasury empty. The
speedy completion Of national revolution
was regarded as inevitable. The crisis in the
capital was intensified by charges Of an I'M
blushing nepotism against Juarez. Generals
were found ranged under either banner. It
appears to us that the revolutionary party
has the greatest number Of commanders and
the ablest men In it's service. American
and other neutral interests are dis
turbed, the customs centres confused,
rendered uncertain in location and in some
instances rntenable. Mexican affairs are de-
cidedly at point Of the most grave difficulty.
Can the consequences be localized2 Or will
the disorganzing, unhealthy influences radiate
from the centre of Mexico to the border and
cross the line in such shape as will bring the
subject directly to the notice Of the United
States government for sympathy or for cure 2,
The CITIZENS OF WEsToHEsTER, along the
line Of Commodore Vanderbilt railroads, have
been reused to sublime indignation by the
continued encroachments of the Commodore's
railroad managers upon their privileges, and
have determined to take united action for right
ing themselves 1t appears that as little re-
gard is shown for the convenience or rapid
transit of those citizens who live in Yonkers
and the Westchester suburbs as Is shown for
ftr. H. hA
time from Yonkers to o business house down
town used to be fifty minutes now 1t takes
over an hour, and soon, it is supposed, it will
take two hours, If matters progress backward
as they have been doing. The passengers who
were formerly landed at Chambers street are
now landed at the Central depot, on Forty
fifth street, and there left to the horse cars for
further transportation toward their places OF
business. The Vanderbilt corporation is big
foe to fight, but people no more indignant than
these Westchester people have very lately
fought and vanquished bigger foes, and we
advise Commodore Vanderbilt ito see Will
liam" and have this matter rectifed at once.
THE CAPTURE OF THREE BURGLARS early
on Sunday morning by Oficer Brosnan de-
serves some recognition Of that officer from
the Police Board. At least one Of the burglars
appears to be valuable capture, having been
concerned heretofore In q burglary that gave
his opal" on that occasion twenty years In the
State Prison. It is well enough to say that
the officer did only his duty, but he was very
judicious in the performance OF that duty, and
therein he deserves some reward or complj-
ment that would serve to excite an esprit id
corps in the force. As for the officer in control
Of the squad that assisted Officer Brosnan, we
cannot speak so encouragingly. Why be
should have permitted rap to be given un-
der the windows for the purpose OF informing
the robbers that they were coming Is mys-
terry of police tactics beyond our comprehen-
sion. It very nearly succeeded in letting the
worst burglar Of the trio make good his escape.
A NEW WAY TO SMASH UP THE REpUBLI-
oAN PARTY.-The Washington Capital de-
clares that ''the republican party has resolved
itself into great army of ofice-holders, with
camp followers in the shape of subsidized
press, SO selfish, greedy, imbecile and corrupt
that, were the outside pressure known as the
democratic party withdrawn, the great mass
of honest voters would at once withdraw their
support and let the miserable concern fall to
pieces" But what would rise in its stead2
Another republican party or another demo-
/, or.,,c narty? What the country wants md
demands, ana ynat tne exigencles of the
| times require Ia the formation Of a Oreat re-
form party, composed Of the honest and true
men Of all parties, and which will, with the
overwhelming force and tremendous impetus
Of gigantic political tidal wave, sweep party
corruptionists clean out of sirht forever
