Subsidies in Mexico.
serious Troubies Anticipated rs Result
Of the Enormous Drain upon tne
Mexican Treasury.

The Pieayune, usually considered author
ity OF Mexican affairs, anticipates trouble
from the enormous subsidies which her pres
ent rulers are granting to railway schemes,
IL being utterly impossible that she can meet
the heavy dram on her treasury and resources
or that the people will remain quiet under
the strain. At the lowest calculation, one
hundred million dollars are already granted
railways, the Gould line from Laredo to the
City of Mexico alone taking so. 0OO. 600 out
Of the treasury within the next two years.
Other subsidies swell the amount OF SIJ,-
900, 900 or $50, 200, 900 due before 1893.
Where the money is to come from, with an
average annual income of but Sl9,0Oo,O 600 to
meet SO, 600, 900 average annual eIpenai-
lures for the ordinary expenditures OF the
government, is problem which it is morally
certain will speedily engage the attention OF
statesmen, economists and politicians on both
sides of the Rio Grande. The masses are
already apparently growing suspicious and
fear the encroachmrnt of NOrthera capital
lists. When these millions and tens of mil
lions of money ure drawn out Of the country
to help pay for these improve men,s, the ad-
ministration which favcrs the schemes will
doubtless find a powerful party arrayed
against it, the United States will be called
upon to protect its citizens in their contracts
and preserve their property from destruction
and conquest will likely follow bankruptcy.
Enormous taxa ion is inevitable If the sufsi-
dies are to be met, and it Is morally certain
We shall have recurrence Of popular discon-
tent which will need but little prompting to
run into a revolution.

The Comic Side Of Polygany.

There is q comic IS well a. pathetic side to
Mormon polyramy. Among the Mormon
women in Utah was one who accepted in full
faith the poIygsmic revelations. She had
found in polygamy an ample compensation
in the supposed right Of the fist wife to
choose her husbands succeeding wives. This
was her argument: "Is the first wife selects
the other wives it has tie effect Of showing
them that the husband thinks much Of her
Judgment, and is wiling to abide by 1t, and
that they v i'll have to do the same. This is,
of course, as it should he. But ii she lets
her husband choose his own wife he is almost
certain to take fancy to some one whom
the first wife does not like at al, and conse
auently her authority is undermined. The
frst wife ought t. have all the power in her
own hands" The sequel of this lady's story
is eAtr, me.y ludicrous. After she had cho,
sen TWO other wives for her husband, he WAS
SO perverse as to choose fourth for himself.
