Gently murdered by robbers in the !
Madre mountains, Mexico.
Political murders are of alarming
frequency in some sections of Mexi- !
co. The military in the Ncnoa Leon
are assassinating all those opposed
TO the administration of Governor
Tolentine, who has ordered the exc
cution of sixty persons. That is
specimen of affairs where an ire
sponsible Government has control of
an army.
The Congress at Versailles,
France, has adopted by a vote of
COP to lGj the first paragraph of the
constitutional revision bill, which
DEGREES the republican form of Gov
ernment to be immutable. The
second paragraph, declaring monar-
chical pretenders ineligible to the
Presidency, was adopted, 597 to 1873.
Before the adoption of the article
decreeing the republican from of
| Government to be immutable, Prime
Minister Ferry said: 1--WE do not
demand the decree of the eternity of
rcpublcanism. but, for the dignity
and security of France, a decree that
the republican regime is immutable."
Freppel opposed the article, declar-
ing that it was unlikely to prevent n
change in favor of the Comte Dc
Paris. Commotion among the Left
Immediately occurred, Floquet ex-
claiming: "You have pronounced
condemnation upon the Comte DE
Paris and we will execute it," Frep-
pei resumed his speech and said he
hoped the new Congress which as
sembled on March 4, 1889. would
re-establsh the monarchy.
A great sensation has been caused
by recent rObberies of the Austrian
mails. Not long ago letter con-
tanning 10, 900 florins was distracted
and now whole mailbag has been
stolen. The bag contained valuable
and registered letters and among
them were checks amounting to 2S0,-
900 florins sent by savings banks in
Pesth.
American railway men have hard
time in Mexico. At Calera, on the
Mexican Central Railway, q Mexican
peon would not stop walking on the
unfinished wall of q round house
until an American knocked him off.
Instead of arresting the American
the police beat him with clubs until
his fellow-countrymen rescued him.
| The Mayor of Calera, who has always
hated the Americans, caused the
arrest of twelve of the station en-
ployees, including the train des-
patcher and telegrapher, and i'm
posed sentences of fine and impri-
sonment upon them without trial.
The Minister of the Interior ordered
their release, but instead of obeying
the order, the Mayor compelled the
prisoners to clean the streets. The
Mexican federal authorities, it is ex-
pected, will take steps to avoid fur
ther trouble.
The German Government has
asked speedy satisfaction from the
British Government for the pillaging
of the provision cutter Diedrich by
English sailors in the North Sea.
An inspired article has appeared
in Lloy0s Weekly, London, the
chief organ of the working classes,
on the politics of the Prince of
Wales. The writer says the Prince
Of Wales has no belief in the policy
of effacement of the empire and will
not shrink, when necessary, from the
assertion of the extension of the
imperial responsibilities, though
opposed to aggression. He is there
fore drawn to the Radicals, who
have broken from the traditions of
the Manchester Peace party. The
article further recites that the heir
apparent to the throne of England

regrets the existence of protection
policy in other countries, on the
ground that hostile tariffs beget
other forms of international hostility.
He considers that many of the ideas
and plans now identified with
socialism are thoroughly practical,
Christian and constitutional. Res
pecting forms of government, he
