United States is concerned, he believes
has been to greatly injure American COM
merce with Mexico While alternating
the Mexicans from the Americans, it
gives the opportunity to the agents of
European merchants and manufacturers
to improve the situation in their own in
terest.
In conclusion Mr.. Pritchard makes a
strong appeal to the people Of the United
States to repudiate what he calls the fam
tastic course ind palpable errors of Mr..
Evarts' Mexican policy. He urges that
in the interest of both countries and in a
spirit of honesty and fairness the people
of the United States hold out the hand
of friendship to the people of Mexico,
and cease to wave the black fag,o forci-
BILE annexation. Altogether it is most
interesting paper, being the other side of
a question of which we have heard so
much from our own standpoint.

FRENCH VEGETABLE LEATHER What is
termed French vegetable leather-a mater
ial invented by NJ. Voneche, of Paris-has
recently been introduced in France and
Germany, and is manufactured in the fol-
lowing manner: A wadding of wool waste
or of wool itself, of unifom thickness, is
laid upon hot polished zinc plate, and a
concentrated decoetion of pearl moss, or
any similar material, poured over it, and
then it is pressed down between two rollers
which are paced at a distance between
each other corresponding with the intended
thickness Of the leather; after being rolled
1t receives coat of boiling llnseed oil, and
is then dried, finally, the dried sheet re-
ceiSes thin coating of vegetable wax, and ,
in order to render it supple, it is once more
rolled between hot cbamfered rollers. In
order to produce an inexpensive substitute
for sole leather, the Shiny decoction is
largely mixed with flock wool, until thick
pap is formed; this latter is spread with
zinc plates, and covered on each side with
thin layer of wool waste, then dried, and
afterward coated with boiling linseed oil.
The final process in the manufacture con-
sists in subjecting the material thus formed
to heavy pressure between zinc plates in
a hydraulic press, thus securing compact
ness and strength

A great many local telegraph lines in
London have their wires buried in the
streets, and the system is said to have
proved itself, in almost all respects, salts
factory. A London paper declares that it
is warranted by considerations of safety,
economy and efficiency, and that the
buried wires, when they require renewal
will be found to have earned it in the saw
ing of annual outlays for repairs. In addi'

THROUGH the mercy of Russia the
Turks will retain their foothold in Eu-
rope, and may become a humane, pro-
gressive and industrious people. If this
should be the result, the war will not
have been without good effect. The
restoration of good feeling between Rus
Bia and Turkey, and the cutting off Of
the latter from a reliance on England
will work much good, not only to Tur
key, but to all Europe.

Mr.. SExTRo should not press the bill
for the repeal of the homestead exemp-
ton law. 1t is just and humane provi~
sion in the interest of the small property
holder, who of all others most needs all
the protection the law can throw around
him. The man who has labored hard
and accumulated few hundred dollars,
is, as rule, ready and anxious to pay all
his just debts as promptly as he can. He
isn't of the class who incur obligations
for the purpose of swindling creditors.
But with all his industry and care mis-
fortune will sometimes overtake him,
and it is but just that the law should Sc
cure to his family small part of his
hard earnings. Make the laws as strin-
gent as possible against men who attempt
to transfer their property to get rid of
paying their debts, and against those
who incur Indebtedness upon false repre-
sentations, and against all manner of
swindlers, but give the honest debtor a
chance to retrieve bis fortunes, or at least
to retain home and possibility of
earning living for his family.

THE MEXICO og T11E MExIcANs.

Under the aboveheading W. T. Pritch-
ard, member of the Geographical Society
of Mexico, has a strong article in the cur
rent number Of the International Review
The writer is familiar with his subject
and he makes to the world strong plea
for his country. He starts out by pictur-
ing the great natural resources of Mex
ico, her fertile soil, her agricultural,
pastoral and mineral weafth-her mag
niticent climate and her unsurpassed geo.
graphical situation. Upon the latter he
lays special emphasis. "She holds geo.
graphical position which may enable her
to claim tribute from modern European
civilization on the one hand, and from
ancient Asiatic civilization on the other.
While on her eastern shores she may open
her ports to the ceaseless activity of the
Over-crowded markets Of Europe; on he1
western she has within easy reach the
countless islands of the Pacific, Australia,
Japan, China and India. Northward she
has the great Republic, and southwark
the less favored Spanish Americans, all
of whose wants she may readily supply
with the immense variety and boundless
wealth of her natural resources" After
describing in this way the natural ad
vantages Of Mexico he paints a faith
full picture of the struggles of her
people against one form of tyranny, and
another dating the commencement as far
back as 1920, and putting down the elec-
ton of Diaz and the formation of the
present government as the final victory
insuring the rights of free people, and
the establishment of permanent peace.
The principle intent of the paper does
not appear till this part of it is reached,
and is not seen with perfect eIearness till
towards the conclusion, where the rela-
tions between the United States and
Mexico are considered, and the course of
Secretary Evarts in refusing to recon-
mend the recognition of Diaz is sharply
criticised. He accuses Mr.. Evarts of
violating treaty obligations in issuing the
order to General Ord directing him to
cross the border in pursuit of fugitives,
and calls the course Of our Secretary of
State fantastic" and urges that in fail
ing to recognize the Diaz Government
the United States has made an exception
to the principles of international comfy,
and to the precedents arbitrarily laid
down at Washington. The result Of
this course he then considers So far as
Mexico is concerned he says it has
had the effect of causing distrust of
Americans and everything American. 1t
has rallied all parties in Mexico around
Diaz, thus giving his Government still
greater stability. Its effect, 50 far as the

Three Card Monte

The general supposition is that Un- cle Sam's boys have had their eye teeth cut, and are thoroughly ac- quainted with the ways of this wick ed world and the many traps set to catch the unwary. But one glaring exception, which occurred here last Saturday night, leads us to believe kat they are on an average as verdant and unsophisticated as the much laugLcd at countryman. The hero of this sketch had just been discharged from Camp Mcdowell, after being stationed there for period of over two wears. He was beardless, had q tender look and clear blue eye, and his opinion of his own smnrtness was very great indeed. He reached Phc nix Saturday afternoon, en route to his home in Connecticut, and his en- tire wealth was carried In one roll, amounting to two hundred and twen- ty-five dollars. Alter partaking of supper at the American, he strolled up Washington street quite distance, until at last attracted by crowds around several games of chance in one of our numerous establishments for the sale of bottled groceries" |" he entered and joined the crowd of look ers-On. Ali one table a man was care lcssly playing with three cards. two reds and black, and asking his audi encc to point out the black. Our sol dicr boy followed the cards with his eye and was confident he could turn the black every time. He was solicit ed to make bet. and so sure was he that he could double his pile, that he announced his willingness to relieve the dealer of some of the cash piled before him. The cards were thrown, our soldier boy placed his two hun dred and twenty-five dollars on what he supposed was the six of clubs, when To, and behold, it was the four of hearts. Our hero camped that night on the battle field, alongside the stove, not having the-whcrewithal to procure q place to lay his head. Next morning the dealer of the game took pity on him and procured his break fast and paid his way on the stage to MaricOpa Wells From there he will make his way to Yuma and re-enlist, wiser man. Moral-Beware of three-card monte.
