IT looks as ii Mexico has at last found,
in Diaz, president with whom she is
satisfied. as we'll as one who is capable OF
holding his own. Escobedo's miserable
movement on the Rio Grande in favor of
Lerdo was the only serious protest against
the Diaz regime since the latter estab-
lished itself in the city OF the Montezu-
mas. and that fell pretty Hat upon the
Inhabitants of the northern border, who.
indeed, have reason to be tired of pro-
nunciamentos. and among whom Diaz
found his best and earliest friends That
the movement has failed is a matter of
c0ngratulatiOn with the United States
yet much as Americans desire peace i'm
Mexico, it should not be purchased ut the
price of military Interference. Five humid
red American troops under Gen. Mac
kenzie and Col. Shafter have raided
across the border in pursuit of Escobedo.
The raid is excused on the score of re-.
covering cattle which Escobedo stole in
Tex*ssbut its evident design is to help
Diaz.. We have just as much right no
send troops to Quebec to suppress the
rioting there.
