DIAz TRIUMPHANT IN MEXICO.

The three cornered revolution III
Mexico has been brought to an alb
rupt termination by the triumph OF
the army of Diaz over the forces OF
Iglesais. The battle took place at
Guanajuato, on the Bird inst, and the
Diaz troops, commanded by General
Ignacio Martinez, achieved a COM
plete victory, General Antillon, COM
mander of the opposing forces, sur
rendering his entire army, numbering
over 5000 men, together with Il large
quantity of war material.
In consequence of this fatal reverse,
Iglesais has quite suddenly lost his
ambition for the Presidency and has
asked the privilege of retiring to pri-
vate life. 1t is chance whether he
will be allowed to do this, or be shot.
Diaz is now sole and indisputable
President of Mexico-or was at last
accounts. Under the auspices of his
government an election will be held
on Monday next, the 28th inst, and
it may be regarded as II foregone con
clusion that Diaz will be the success
full candidate. In fact, it is hardly
probable, under the circumstances,
that any one will have the temerity
to enter the lists against him.
One act of the Diaz administration
deserves the commentator, not only
of the Mexican people, but of Ameri
-cans as well we refer to the Danish
ment of Cortina, the notorious despe
RADIO and cattle thief. This man ant
his folio wers have been the scOurge
of the Rio Grande border for years
and the government which is resolutt
enough to defy and destroy their vi
cious and powerful organization Ger
tainly has strong claims upon the con
fidence of the country.

The members of the Louisiana Re-

under arrest for their refusal to place
the returns of the recent State cleo

sentatives, Notwithstanding the laws
of Louisiana prohibit the Returning
Officers from complying with the de-
mand made apon them. The Repub-
lican members of the House support
the position taken by our Returning

Gently, and several specimens of the
reptiles have been sent to the Smith

emitting frogs in Missouri, fresh beef

it becomes matter of serious concern
as to what We are to have next. Who
can give US satisfactory assurance
that the figure of speech, raining
pitchforks," is not liable to become a
terrible reality at any moment? A
shower of chicken salad or quail on
toast would he always acceptable, but
the possibility that the gridirons and
toasting forks might accompany the

old fashion of rainwater and hail

The statement has been made by
New Orleans papers that the editor of
the CHIEF applied to Gov. Nichols
by letter for commission as Clerk of
Court, to which position we were
elected last November. This is only
approximately correct, and to avoid
misapprehension on the part of polit-
cal friends or opponents, we will state
that our communication to Gov. Mich
oils was simply an inquiry whether,
in the event of the final establishment
of his government, commissions from
him would be deemed requisite to the
official title of those officers elect who
qualified previous to his Inauguration.
No reply to this letter has been vouch-
safed, but on Thursday commissions
for all the parochial officers, signed
by Gov. Nichols, were received from
New Orleans. None of the local Of
ticers have yet qualified under these
commissions, and it appears to us SUI
perfluous that they should do SO. By
their bonds they are {" firmly bound
unto VIM. Pitt Kellogg, Governor Of
Louisiana, and his successors in Of
tice," for faithful performance of
duty, and we fail to see how the va
lidity of these obligations can be le-
gally or rightfully questioned wheth-
er it shall be Gov. Nichols or Gov.
Packard who becomes the successor
of Gov. Kellogg.

THE HERALD.
LANCASTER:
Thursday. September I3, 1877.
THE Greenback party is a fraud

The Greenback party is fraud.
The object of its leaders is to make
fools of the honest men who honestly
believe in the greenback policy, lest
by their massing with one of the other
parties their policy might be made
successful. In Iowa we know it to be
in the hands of set of graceiess
scamps. In this State, or for
this State rather, its chief
fuglenan is Brick Pomeroy. In
this County the greenback men are
generally honest, but man green
enough to accept such a leader as
Brick Pomeroy ought to be laid away
in a dry oven and given rest till he
cracks. The HERALD is a greenback
paper. 1t sees no use for a resump-
ton act and does not want our good
money to be tinkered with by fellows
who go round talking to men who
happen just now to be afflicted with
alteration OF mind-at $40 to s25
talk, and are ready to talk on green
backs, temperance or petticoats, or
whatever the crazy people will pay
them for. The HERALD is for the
honest greenback dollar, the honest
silver dollar, the honest gold dollar,
honest avoirdupois, honest Whches-
ter, the honest yard-stick and honest
men. And it believes in men who
will stand by these alUays-Rot in
occasional spasms.

if one becomes sick, as he may, his
labors devolve on the other two, and
their labor is of course proportion
ately increased, and not only so but if
they should happen to differ Ia opin-
on, the Judgment below whether
right or wrong stands affirmed, set
Ting it is true the rights of the par
ties TO that case, but settling none OF
the questions of Law involved in that
case, but leaving all those questions
TO be fought out in some subsequent
case, thus unnecessarily increasing
litigation. There is yet another
reason. There is no state in the
Union with anything like the popu-
lation and business of Wisconsin but
has more than three judges in it's
court OF last resort except Georgia
and Alabama.
And Georgia even is probably be.
low Wisconsin ia population and GER
tainly far below in business, and i'm.
measurably so 10 amount and impor-
lance of litigation. Alabama is in
all these respects far below Georgia.
Many of the states, much smaller
than Wisconsin and inferior in popu.
lation and business, have from five to
seven judges in their appellate courts
in quite a number of which the num-
Der of the judges of the courts have
recently been increased to those pro-
portions.
1t is probably true as the HERALD
states that the lawyers favor this
increase. At least it is true almost
without exception so far as | know,
among lawyers who practice in that
court. Pardon me if I.say that the
insinuation in the HERALD that
lawyers favor it because it makes
two new places to be filled from
among them, is unworthy of the
"HERALD."
| cannot see what possible inter-
est the hundreds oflawyers Throughout
the state, who like myself favor this
measure, and like myself have no
more hope, expectation, or chance of
filling either of those places, should
they be created, than the Editor of
the HERALD, have in this increase as
lawyers, or which would not be
shared by every citizen of tho state
who should take the trouble to ex-
amino the subject.
For myself, lawyer as | am and
fsvoring this measure as | do, l can
not see that have any interest in
this matter except to get as good
court as possible. And | am sure
that every citizen of the state is as
much Interested in this as | am. For
no man can tell how soon be may be
compelled 20 rely upon that court to
shield him from wrong or injury.
There are many inaccuracies in the
HERALD article which | cannot now
stop to notice, as this letter has al
ready reached too great length.
trust and believe upon examin-
ing tho subject the HERALD and its
readers will lend their hearty sup
port TO this much needed measure.

Newspaper History.

| Col. j. B. Dantorth, ,Tr.. editor of THE
Rock ISLAND DAILY ARGUS, has been
publishing in his paper during the past FIVE
weeks history of the rise and progress of
the newspaper press of Rock Island COUNTY
from the first issue in that section. He
has only reached so tar as the year 1916,
aud we expect from that time to the
present he will find it pretty warm time
for the profession. The charges that have
| taken place in that county during the past
twenty years have been frequent, but Col
Danforth is equal to the emergency, for he
has been one of the old landmarks of
journalism in Rock Island for ever so long
and knows how it is.
We have read attentively the numbers
that have already appeared, aud no more
entertaining matter has come under our
observation. Connected with this history
OF the newspaper press of Rock Island is
frequent reference to other local matters
that makes these sketches valuable aud
entertaining to every citizen. La short it
is, in a condensed form, history of Rock
Island county from its earliest settlement.
1t Is too valuable record of events as they
actually occurred to stop with merely a
newspaper publication. The history that
is now passing in review through Col.
Dantorth's columns should be issued in
book form and copy find place in every
household in the county. 1t would be a
better general history of the times of
which the Colonel writes than most any
other that would likely ever be issued. No
man is better fitted for the task he has un
dertaken. A keen observer of men and
having thorough knowledge Of the early
history of the county, his present effort is
worthy OF all commentator and Of being
preserved in book form.

Edith, the little Fraud.
From The I02gR Cety Press.

Yesterday MIR. Auffray. who is said to
sustain somewhat equivocal relations to
Mss Edith o, German" being known as
the husband of the ''O'Gorman," came
near getting himself into trouble. The
advance agent aud Auffray were distribu-
ting bills, and separated at the intersec
ton of Dubuque and College streets;
the agent going south and Auffray east:
as Auffray crossed the street he met a
young school girl and, true 70 character,
grossly insuted her. with loud hens"
and coughs, and then stopping, he called
to the agent, and jerked his thumb over
his shoulder with loud hens" after the
girl. A gentleman standing on the corner
did not see this dirty trick unmoved, but
angrlly ordered him to stop his insults,
or he would suffer personal chastisement.
Auffray crossed over to the gentleman
and said. Don't you suppose | know how
to treat a lady? What you mean by
saying you slap my mouth ?" The gentle
man informed him he meant just what he
said, and added Il guess you don't associ-
ate much with ladies, but likely with such
women as the one that fellow" indicating
the agent, lis peddling bills for" Then
Auttray burst out in rage, what! you

wife. The gentleman told him whether
Edith was his wife or cot, be could not
tsult ladies on the street with impuaity,
and then Autfray sueaked away.
