OUR RELATIONS WITH MExICo

Now that such network of railway is
permeating these southwestern states, and
the majority of them heading toward Mex
leo with her immensely of wealth, il is only
reasonable to suppose that large number
of our citizens will locate in that rich land
of the Montezumas, Merchants will 20
there to settle and engage in those pursuits
that will to them seem most profitable. Our
agricultural and manufactured products will
be daily taken to the several points
in thousands of cars, provided always the
relations between the two countries, and
due commercial facilities be afforded. 1t is
O most difficult matter to ascertain what
are the tariff charges at the ports of
Mexico, The laws have been so repeatedly
changed, and are In such an unsatisfactory
condition, that it is impossible positively to
guess which would prevail in case of a con-
test, One of the consequences of this has
been that parties who have carried goods
to that country have been often compelled
to pay figures to custom house officials
there which they were satisfied were cxtor-
Tomato Because of this state of things,
we are appraised, that those officers have
splendid opportunities of becoming vastly
rich, aud that most of them avail them
selves sf the clear temptation, Indeed il is
stated that the custom house business,
starting from the head center and cncom-
passing'all the out posts, is u series of con
centric rings or threads akin to spider
web, and spun forvcry similar purposes, to
catch the ignorant, the feeble or
the unwary The time is rapidly
approaching, however, when our
many hourly international dealings will ar
rest in great part this crying shame. But
the other question will be, who is to reap
the greater benefit of all this trade, the
United States or Europe and IL the former
which section, or rather, what intcrcsts1
If Mexico shall persist in her high tariff,
England will be enabled largely to under

northern republican friends assert,
that high rates are required to
protect American manufacturers
against transatlantic competition. II
we would compete with England, we must
lay down our products there as cheaply as
She but the protectionists with Mr.. voor-

dilemma for our high tariff opponents, and
the test Of their sincerity will speedily be
upon us. We will soon see whether the

suits of an iniquitous legislation, whether
or n OF these agricultural and pas
toral states have not been to
them but "hewers Of wood and
drawers of water" But be the issue what
it may, Texas is happily located in these
new developments. Her products will bare
only the short haul for our Mexican friends
or our own people who may settle there;
and this will give her an immense advant-
age, to say nothing of the ben
etits to arise from transportation
through our states whole area Our
total imports last year from Mexico,
amounted to sope 81, 2O0, 900, of which about
two-thrds were free of duty. Our domestic
exports footed up some 100000. OF the
imports, coffee amounted to $l,500,000
some 100000 of hides, skins and furs. Of
this fine business the southern states Sc
cured but little, the bulk Of it having been
handled by vessels Of the north Atlantic
seaboard. The iron-horse will put q new
phase ON matters, and as it comes thun-
dering over the plains and through
the hills, will stop ever and
anon to supply itself with food and drink,
coal and water, to leave off passengers and
freight at all the cities, towns and villages
of Texas through which it shall pass. Our
people, our merchants cannot too soon COM
mence to open up trade relations, to invite
correspondence, and to post themselves as
to the needs and wishes of our future near
ncghbors.

Hereditary Crime

Is crime hereditary? There is much
evidence to show that it is. A recent in
tcrview with Mr. A. ii. l.. Monte, the su.
perintendent of the Susquehanna Valley
Home, who, from his position, has an ex-
cellont opportunity for observation, strong
ly corroborates this proposition. Nearly
a year ago boy who was considered one of
was placed with good family, and
for u time his conduct was in
every way exemplary, OF late, how
ever, he has developed so strong a
propensity for stealing that the family, who
are earnestly solicitous for the boys well
fare, are very anxious on his account. The
boy that was sent this week from the Home
to the House of Refuge has never, so far as
can be learned, been so situated as to be ed
ucatod to thicvery. lie had been an inmate
of the Home for nearly three years, and
until recently no tendency to Neptomania
was discovered. As he was interesting and
bright, much pains was taken
with him. Very few boys of his
age, or of any age, had as much Bible
knowledge as he, and he was noticca-
BILE for general intelligence. A few months
since, TO the great surprise of the superin.
tendent and all who knew the lad init
matcly, suspicion strongly pointed to him

the room of the assistant superintendent.
lie confessed the crime, promised complete
reformation, and the matter was dropped,
Aiterward, however, occasionally little
losses occurred at the Home, but nothing
could be proved against the boy till last
week, when considerable sums were
taken from the rooms of three
employees of the Home, into which
he gained access while they were at
breakfast The boy case had now reached
point where It was thought that his we'll.
being required his removal to the house OF
refuge, and he ,was accordingly sent there.
Here was boy who for years had been un-
