by Dlaz, was undoubtedly the best that mas eNhNu
there IN many years and those most familiar with
Mexican politics believe that before many months
have passed it will be able once more 10 establish
itself on Mexican soil. Having done this, 1t will he
for the interest of the United States To prevent any
new revolutionary movement having for its object
simply plumber from Overthrowing it again.
In his'connection word about the origin of revo-
lutious in Mexico will be interesting They have
not as a general rule been encouraged or approved
by the better class Of the Mexican people. Business
men, those engaged in commerce, mining, or manu-
featuring have very little to gain by revolution and
everything to lose Those vino rebel against e'taD-
lished government in Mexico dOpot general thing
fight for any principle the correction Of abuses or the
overthrow Of an oppressive administration, but are
influenced solely by private and personal considera-
tions. Nor does il make any difference whether they
succeed or fail in their revolutionary projects War
declared, opportunities are presented for seL-
ing upon towns and villages, and with the ability to
hold them only for a short time their object is ac-
cOmplished. Daring that time they improve their
opportunities for levying forced loans upon the IN
babitants and to rob and plunder them at will.
Revolutions of this kind generally originate in the
northern States of the MeXiean Republic and on the
American border The result is that in some OF
those States a majority of the inhabitants are of
this lawless unSovernabe class and the best central
government of Mexico IS during the greater part of
the time, unable to enforce its laws along the Rio
Grande American citizens in Texas, equally with
Mexican citizens the other side of the river who
are engaged in legitimate trade the sufferers by
this state of affairs. Here them Col. Scbeicher be-
lieyes, may be found good ground for American in
reference. 1t is the duty of the United States to
protect its citizens from foreign invasion and from
unjust treatment foreign SOIL and it is certainly
not only just and right shat Government should
avail itself of every proper to do this but those
who suffer from its faiIure to do have just cause
for complaint. The President AID Congress arc
to be the judges of the manner in which this
protection should be extended and if it can be done
better and cheaper by unfolding stable and con-
sttutiona government IN Mexico than by main
tanning large army on the Rio Grande, there GER
tainly is no reason why we should not do it.
The United States las also much TO gain in a COM
