Indignation could scarcely go to greater
lengths against any occupation than it has
already gone against the Italian pad,ones
who conduct an infamous traffic in the
slavery of children in this and other cities !;
but it appears that the horrible industry of
selling italian boys and girls into slavery
which requires them to pursue the voca-
ton of mendicants is not the worst
Of the offences of these men, and if the
latest allegation made against them is true
the indignation hitherto felt will be q mild
sentiment by comparison with the mood in
which they will be regarded. There is
reason to believe that blind child found
in the streets in the custody OF an Italian
beggar has been purposely blinded to fit
her to excite the sympathy Of passers-by
that her mendicant keeper may profit
thereby. 1t is to be hoped that If this
charge is sustained an example may be
made that will at once stop such horrible
trade

the Methodists, who have just changed pas
torates, will put forth their best efforts.

Is well to be reminded of the doctrine now

the facts shows that the United States gov
eminent has not acted ungenerously toward
the ex-President or been unduly exacting
with his successor.
The recognition of Diaz has not been un-
necessarily delayed. 1t was entirely proper
to satisfy ourselves that American interests
would not suffer, and that the government
seeking recognition was not only well dis
posed toward our own, but had the strength
to carry out its expressed good in
tentions, before making such recogni-
ton. Diaz himself, in his message to the
preliminary Congress in April OF last year,
declared that the revolution happily con-
summated by the Mexican people could not
be complete without showing it's power to
reconstruct the constitutional edifce, thus
forbidding the idea of q too sudden recog-
milton Of revolutionary government
Neither has the recognition come too soon
to be justifiable. Ex-President Lerdo, in
an interview published in the HERALD
at the time OF his arrival in New
York, while pronouncing Diaz usurper,
added that his usurpation was "to be even
tually resolved by the people of Mexico
only" The people Of Mexico having ''re-
solved" the question OF usurpation by the
universal Endorsement of the Diaz govern
ment we cannot now be censured even by
Lerdo for accepting the popular de-
cision. The discreet action of our
government proves how unfounded is
the belief that we are n filibustering
nation. We have once moro done for the
Mexicans what we did when we recognized
Juarez in 1861 to save them from anarchy,
and when we protested against the French
occupation in 1867 to save them from op-
preston. Our recognition OF Diaz con-
firms his power and irsures peace to the
Republic. The policy Of our government
is to live in good fellowship with our neigh
bors and to aid them to prosper. We
do not covet our neighbors' houses and
lands, but we do wish that those who live
next door to us may be well-to-do people
who keep their homes in good order, make
respectable appearance and do not at
tempt to trespass on our premises or to in
terfere improperly with our children. Our
feelings toward the Mexicans on one side
and the Canadians on the other ara the
same We want no more territory to the
north or to the south, to the east or
to the west. If we have sometimes
wished to see Canada independent it is
only because we believe she would be bet
ter off it, like ourselves, free from entan-
Cling alliances and relying on herself alone.
But beyond this we have no policy and no
desires in conflict with the peace, prosper
ity and happiness of the neighboring
peoples, and our recognition of the Diaz
government is an earnest of our good faith
toward all friendly nations.

The victory of the dark blue on the
Thames yesterday was an easy one, the
time OF the race not being extraordinary in
view OF the favorable conditions. Had Ok
ford been hard pressed after the first mile
instead Of having things all its own way
even at that stage, there is little doubt that
the time would have been considerably re-
duced. The eight men in both boats must
have been solid fellows, averaging as
they did one hundred and sixty-cight
pounds six ounces in the case of
Oxford and one hundred and sixty
eight pounds three ounces in the case OF
Cambridge Each boat carried one hun
dred and four pounds dead weight in the
shape of their respective coxswains. 1t is
curious to note in view of this trifing diff
ference in weight the difference there must
have been in the stamina of both crews.
The style of rowing of Cambridge is de-
scribed as very even at the start, the row.
ing only becoming irregular when the dark
blue had gone definitely to. the front The
result had been foreseen by the sharp
witted people who make it business
to watch the practice Of the rival
crews, and this. in measure, detracted
from the interest in the struggle; but
the sight of the gallant fellows bending
to their work. tho oars rising and falling in
beautiful rhythm, is always one worth wit
Messing and drew the usual crowds to the
Thames yesterday. Thirty-fve eight-oared
races have been rowed between the rival
universities, Oxford standing a winner in
eighteen, Cambridge in sixteen-one, that
of last year, being dead heat. This
is not very great difference after all. When
tho nine long years are remembered, from
1861 to 1869. during which the light blue
was always in the rear at the end of the
race, we must not forget to pay tribute to
her indomitable pluck while extending our
warmest congratulations to the victors.
