San Antonio Herald: a most extra
ordinary and aggressive article appears
in the Diario Official of the 3lst of
July, which completely does away
with the idea that the United States
have anything TO expect from Mexico
beyond, perhaps, the empty promises
OF a post communicate or company
commander along the Rio Grande.
The Diario Olllcial Is the official
journal of the Republic OF Mexico un-
| der the direct supervision Of the gov
eminent, and its uJterances are there
fore entitled to more than ordinary
weight.
The same number of the Dlario OIL
cal contains the reply of the Mexican
minister of foreign affairs, to the cont
plant Of the American minister, Mr.
Foster, in reference to the raids of
cattle thieves from Mexico into the
United States. Nor IL this all. The
treatment of the American minister
| by the Mexican authorities Is
stamped with marked discOurtesy,
since, after making long statement
Of his side OF the case, filled with u
nOnsensical rlgamarOle, such as would
not stand the test Of school boy's de-
bating society, the Mexican minister
plainly intimates that the discussion of
the subject Is now at an end, and the
representative Of the government II,
in effect told TO hold his tongue.
The tone Of the paper all through IL
that of insolent defiance Of the United
States, under the cover OF speciOus fall
acles, such IA are commonly resorted
10 10y the Mexican government when
discussing border troubles.
Should the government OF Mexico
persist IN following the line Of policy
marked out in the articles referred to,
there il but one honorable alternative
left the United states government
war 10 the knife.

Another Effort.

In our communication of last week we
spoke of the failures of Prairie Gem, bat did
not mean in the agricultural line, for, as far
as that Is concerned, we will not take the
back seat for any district. As near as we can
find out there are about 200 acres of wheat
sown, and it is looking as well as the weather
will permit. There have also been some i'm
provemeuts in building, as several farm
houses have been enlarged, and granarics put
up. We hope, as spring opens, there will be
new bridges placed across the Cow.kin. BY
the way, bridges may be counted among the
failures of the past year, as there was only
one bui IL where there should have been two.
and one partially built and left to float away
As to the Grange, it may not be dead, but its
life is somethin like that of the anaconda. We
understand there was grand awakening and
bi. supper short time ago, then it sank
quietly to rest for the coming year. We are
glad to say there has been considerable int r
est shown in the effort to organize a Good
Templer Lodge, and think it will be success
ful, as all seem willing to ''come down with
the stamps" and that is the one thing need
full. 1t might not be bad Idea for Wichita
to follow our example in this respect, for, il
we have been rightly informed. it is the larg-
est city in the State without a temperance or
ganizatiou. We understand the farmers of
other localities are interested in something be-
sides bread and butter, as they have sustained
good literary society all winter, which is
still in a fleurishing condition. il packed
houses and willing workers are any evidence.
Go on my friends, and may the time soon
come when every farmer OF Kansas shall deem
it just as necessary to furnish bis family with
books and papers, and other intellectual food
as he does to supply them with plenty OF
bread and butter. PENCIL.
