PLAINLY enough if Diaz honestly
seeks to maintain order on the Rio
Grande, and will cooperate with Gen.
Ord, the suppression of banditti is
no more desirable than possible. To
give Diaz supreme power in Mexico,
it is only necessary that he be recog-
nized as the ruler of Mexico by the
United States. This will consolidate
his power and repress insurgents every
where, enabling him to maintain per-
feet peace on his side Of the Rio
Grande.

day among the ruins of Herculaneum

regain this lost province for twelve years,
with their usual slow patience and in
domitable resolution. As their troops
had to cross vast deserts they literally
planted and waited to reap the crops as
they marched. Years passed while
part of the army was in transit from the
capital to Kashgar. When they did
reach the fertile plains of the revolted

willed the sceptre to man able to de-
fend it, soldier like himself, and the de-
scendant of the Old Tartar kings Of Kash

take up cause already lest, and Kuli
suffered defeat after defeat from the Chi

One problem that engages The at

probable course of our new Con-
gressman elect. Before the election
it seemed tO bc of but little account

were, for his election did net seem
at all probable. aud il is no doubt as
unexpected to himself as it Il to
every one else.

OFFICIAL VoTE FOR JUpGE.
CAAER0NIA.

Has it not occurred to cur Repub-
lican friends that their recent Ql0Ti-
oltS rict0ry over us Democrats and
rebels still leaves our public matters
IN Pennsylvania III n very inc0m-
plete and unsatisfactory condition !?
The job is but half done, and We
suggest that it be made comnlete
without unnecessary delay. They
'bave entered into voluntary pJlitic-
al serfdom to the Camerons. Simon
and Don have absolute and undis.
puted control of the once proud old
Keystone. Onr legislation, and in
fact all our public affairs, bear the
polluting impress of CanerOnism-
and why should not The state have
the same name ? 1t is no doubt
true that cd Bill Pena, after whom
the great state IS named was K
night nice sort of man in his way
and time. He had very fair stock
of those stern but now obsolete and
useless old qualities-honeSty and
integrity, but it is also evident that
neither he nor the people generally
of his time, had any proper concep-
tlons Of modern gleatneSS, as per-
Sonified and eXemplitied ia the Came
rons. Everything must give way
TO the onward march of modern
progress, and we do not see that a
name however appropriate and
euphonious at one time, If it Is notC
useless and a lnisnolner, should be
suffered to stand in the way.
We hope that Immediately after
