|ur Mexican Neighbors.

"A recent dispatch from the City, OF
Mexico says that an attempt at revolution
at Tamauipas was easily suppressed by the
Government. The Cabinet changes are not
expected until Gen. Gonzales returns from
Sonora. Considerable trouble exists in the
Cabinet and among leading public men whom
President Diaz, however, manages to keep
together. The friends of ex-President Lerdc
intend to run him for President at the next
election. Senators Vallarto and Romero are
also mentioned as candidates. Ex-President
Lerdo has been elected honorary rector Of
the Lawyers Association of the City of Mex
leo.
Railroad speculation is very active, and
wealthy Mexicans are investing money in
railroads, which they never did before. The
Government has closed a contract with
Spanish line of steamers plying between Vera
Cruz, Tampico, Progresso, Havana and Llv-
erpool.
Death Of the Pope Of Rome.

The remains are to be temporarily deposited in
the Choir Chapel of St. Peters and finally
buried in the Crypt. The Conclave will de-
eide whether the funeral shall be public or
private. The Popes last act was to provide
for continuance of his servants salaries
and pensions to their widows.
Can States be Suede
- The New York Nation, in its last issue,
contends that States can be sued in the courts,
like individuals, to enforce the payment of
debts. Citing, in confirmation of this, the
case of Chisholm VS.. Georgia, which was de.
cided by the Supreme Court of the United
States in 1892, the Nation says:
In delivering the opinion of the Court,
Chief Justice Jay declared that the States
were suable, and Associate Justice Wilson, in
corroborative opinion, said "A State like
a merchant makes a contract; dishonest
State, like dishonest merchant, willfully re-
fuses to discharge it. The latter is amena-
able to a court of justice. Upon what prin-
cipal or right shall the former, when sum.
moned to answer the fair demands Of its cred
itor, be permitted, Proteus like, to assume a
new appearance and to insult him and jus.
tice by declaring, Il am sovereign Slater
Assuredly it should not" But granting that
States can be sued, where is the power lodged
to enforce process? If suit can be brought
and verdict is rendered against the State,
how is the money to be raised except by an
act of the Legislature? Herein lies the diff
Guilty.
The Presidents Attitude.
"A recent Washington dispatch says
that the President is net as tranquil in his
mind regarding his relation with the Senate
as has been represented. Several gentlemen
who have seen him lately, say that he is con-
siderably annoyed at the course of the Sen
ate in the matter of nomin ations, and has de-.
cided to make, from this time forward, as
few changes as possible He is determined
to make no removal except for cause, and to
make no new appointments except where va
cancies exist by expiration of commission.
He is represented as saying the public service
is suffering by the tardiness Of the Senate,
and that there is disposition on the part of
most of the Republican Senators on the COM
mittees to keep the nominations as long as
possible without action, for the purpose of
embarrassing him. The President would
be better pleased if the Senate would reject
the nominations it is not pleased with, than
to Withhold them in the committees. The
Republican Senators continue to keep aloof
from the White House, and the record shows
that very few are in the habit of calling on
the President for anything Again the nom-
ination of Northrop, for the District Attor-
ney of South Carolina, has been reported on
adversely by the Judiciary Committee. This
is the second time he has been reported ad-
versely by the same committee.

NoTE.-We omitted to notice the allusion
of H." to certain anonymous communica'
tious addressed to a person holding these
bonds, proposing to be seen before the writer
had committed himself upon certain SUBJ
ects. The letters plainly had reference to
this investigation, and any person who will
take the trouble to examine them, will not
hesitate to detect both the author and the
subject matter alluded to-"
We call for the publication of the letters,
for the name of the bondholders to whom
they were addressed. and for the name of the
author, who, he says, can be easily detected:

back. Give US facts-not insinuations We
await developments. Z. J.
