MEXICO's RESOURCES.

The Republic of Mexico, VIII ich some
Americans are now anxious to invade,
is made up of twenty-seven States and
one Territory, with population of about
l,000,0 900, one-half being Indians and
the other half mainly the descendants
of Spaniards. There are eight cities
having more than 10000 inhabitants,
the largest being the City of Mexico,
with a population of 100000. During
the last few years immigration has in
creased perceptibly, the new arrivals
coming principally from Spain and Italy.
Although Mexican finances are in an
unsatisfactory condition the wealth of
the mines is almost fabulous. Between
1920 and 1880 silver to the amount of
SGO0,000,0O0 and gold to the value of
$500, 900, 600 were produced. Outside of
the precious metals the staple exports
of the country are textile fabrics, coffee,
hides, woods, vanilla, dye-stuffs, sugar
and molasses, drugs and tobacco. There
are more than twenty thousand cattle
ranches in the Republic, valued at $780,
000,0) 0During the last five years the
railroad mileage has largely increased,
and the government owns many thou
sand miles of telegraph. The Mexican
army consists of $4,000 men, and the
navyof six gunboats and two torpedo
boats.
As it it estimated that Mexico could
put an army of 250,OOO men into the field
without much trouble, it will be seen that
it would be bloody and costly job for
the United States to make war upon it.
The ignorance which exists in Mexico
as to the great Northern Republic is
well supplemented by the ignorance of
the majority of Americans as to Mexico.
The United States could march an army
from Sonora to Yucatan if they wanted
to, but somebody would have to take off
his coat and roll up his sleeves.

is 1T JUST 7

THE jury's verdict in the matter of
the Lansford boiler explosion is very
peculiarly worded document, and either
the learned gentlemen composing the
jury felt timiditY regarding placing the
blame on the company for its negligence
in the matter OF they are in sympathy
with the cooperative power. If the
boiler "was defective by reason of old
age and much wear" and the company
had been considering the necessity of
procuring ''new and better one, "then
in face of this evidence the company is
responsible for the deaths of its en-
ployees and the jury should have placed
the responsibility on their shoulders.
Instead, however, it "beats around the
bush" with the explanation that ''had
the engineer been with the engine and
boiler all the time, and if the immediate
cause of the explosion was defective
working of the safety valve, it might,
and probably would have been dscov-
cred in time to prevent the disaster" "
The jury may feel that they have done
their duty; in fact, they may have
brought in a verdict consistent with
their ideas of the matter, but even
should this be the case, their ideas look
and read peculiarly when put down or
paper and in no way benefit the fami
lies of the men who lost their lives in
the employ of the company. The jury
should have considered the condition in
which the families of the dead men ar,
placed and acted accordingly.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 10, 'S6.
Mr.. EDITOR: The recent announce
ment of Hon. A. NJ. Keley's appoint
ment to an important and dignified posi-
tion under the Egyptian government,
has caused considerable surprise in po-
ltical circles here. 1t is said at the
State Department that Mr.. KeileY's ap-
pointment was decided upon Immediate
ly after the resignation of Judge Batche-
lor, the former incumbent of the office.
The salary attached to the office is about
$1,000, and is paid by the Egyptian gov
ernment.
The Cutting case continues to be the
leading topic of discussion. 1t is under
stood that the question was very thor
oughly discussed at the last Cabinet
meeting, but nothing of Importance re-
garding the matter has been given to
the public. The State Department Of
ficials are more than ordinarily reticent
on the subject and nothing can be
learned at the War Department. 1t is
believed, however, that although Mr..
Bayard has made no further demand
upon Mexico, that he is still firm in the
position that he has taken, and that it
has been decided to await the decision
of the Supreme Court of Mexico, to
which an appeal has been taken, before
taking further steps in the premises.
The Secretary of War left upon his sum
mer vacation on Thursday last, and as
one of the officials remarked, "That
doesn't look much like war, does its"
Pending the settlement of the Cutting
matter orders have been given by the
Mexican Government postponing the
commencement of work upon the new
legation building here, the plans of
which were recently approved, and
work was to have been commenced at
, once.
The reappointment of Mr.. James c..
Matthews, the new Recorder of Deeds
for the District, afterhis name had been
rejected by the Senate, was a surprise
to every one. As by the terms of Mr..
Fred Douglass resignation he was to
hold the Office until his successor had
qualified, he has continued TO draw the
salary regularly until Wednesday last,
when the office was formally transferred
to Mr.. Matthews.

DOES 1T COME TOO LATEI

The several gentlemen who addressed
the late Democratic county meeting, at
Mauch Chunk, begged of the Democrat
ic voters of this county tc stand as a
unit OH election day, because in union
there is strength, and then no fear need
be apprehended as to the result of what
will become of the county ticket when
the polls close and the votes are count
ed. The advice is good, it should have
been given and observed long ago. How
often have the members of the lower
end Democracy gone to the polls on
election day, deposited a straight"
Democratic ticket and worked for the
success of the party? Every election has
seen them prove true to the cardinal
principles of Democracy-the lower end
boroughs and townships could always
be counted on to return their usual ma
jorities, sometimes greatly increased,
thereby showing much hard work and
loyalty to their party. Not so with the
upper end, however, its voters have
proved recreant to the Democracy on
more than one occasion-sacrifcing
more than one intelligent and worthy
Democrat, for personal reasons. Is it
any wonder then that the voters Of the
lower end should be discouraged? They
have seen pledge after pledge broken,
one good man after another defeated,
until they have grown tired of working
for useless cause 1t is not necessary
to ask the lower end Democracy TO
stand as a"unit;" have they failed
to show that they were not a unit? All
they ask, demand,i in fact, is recognition
of their claims; ticket fairly nominat-
ed, and composed of such material as
will be an honor to officially represent
the county. With ticket of this kind,
both the upper end and the lower end
working together, the Democratic ma
ioritY would reach its old standard tide
water mark of six 10 seven hundred
1t is in the power of the voters
of the upper end to bring about an ami
cable adjustment of past grievances.

A RICH JOKE.

The Washington dispatches disclose a
rich joke on the Senate. 1t has been
the fashion of the Senate committees to
attempt 20 discredit the sincerity and
good faith of the President in his re-
moval or suspension of Republican Of
ficials. They have studious!y tried to
make it appear that the President had
made removals for party purposes only,
and in disregard of his avowed purposes
and pledges. In order to giTe the sus-
pended officials ''send OFF, with a fine
certificate of character and diploma of
martyrlom, the committees have in
numerous cases made reports, and
spread them upon the journal of the
Senate, reciting in substance that the
suspended official was faithful one
and WAS suspended for political reasons,
and for no cause rejecting on his char
acter or conduct, personal or official.
A case has come to light which has
very much shaken the value of these in
dorsements. Away back in the early
part of Mr.. Cleveland's administration
he had appointed one Alonzo p. Sharp
Postmaster at McCook, Neb. Sharp
was appointed as Democrat. But he
followed the bad preccdents of too many
Republican officials, and was soon short
in his accounts. Thereupon Mr.. Cleve-
Land promptly suspended him, and NOM
mated one Thompson to succeed him.
The papers were sent to the Senate,
showing that Sharp was short in his ac-
counts, and was no longer fit for public
trust in public Office.
With these facts ana undisputed proof
of their Truth before them, the Senate
committee gravely report to the Senate
the following, which will be found in
the Congressional Record of June s,
page 53S7:
ON the 18th day of February, 1859, the Pres
tdent nominated to the Senate L. A. Thomp
sou TO be postmaster at McCool, Neb., vie,
A. 7. sharp, suspended during the recess o
the Senate. The suspension seems to have
hcen made for political reasons Only, and tn,
committee has not found anything In the cas-,
rejecting upon the personal or Official char
aetcr or conduct of the suspended officer.
Our esteemed contemporary the New
York Star, commenting on this actor
OF Senators, pithily remarks: So Mr.
Sharp, who was kicked out for Demo
cratic thief, finds himself immortalizeC
in the Senate record as a Republican
martyr. No sooner had he been prove,
rascal who ought to be turned ont than
the Republican Senators claimed him a
their own and clapped on his brow tn
martyrs crown. Although proved de
faulter, repudiated by his snreties, th,
Republican Senators found nothing il
his case "rehecting upon his personal O.
official character or conduct"
Several differences are irresistibly sug
gested by this incident;
First That Senate certificate plas
tered upon the from, of a k!cksl ON
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1886-08-21

official is very poor label Of character.
Secondly-That when Democrat in
office turns out to be rogue, he there
by is proved to be a spotless Republican,
and, as such, the Senate takes him un-
der the egis of Its protection.
Thirdly-That the Republican Sena-
tors consider that when an officer ap-
plies to his own use the government
moneys and becomes the terror of his
own sureties, there is nothing in such a
state of facts which reflects upon his
personal or official character"
AS the Senate record must be taken
for absolute verify, there is no escape
from these conclusions.
The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1886-08-21

of the United States-whch has equal
and coordinate power with the Presi-
dent in the matter of appointment of of
ficers-rejects the nomination of per-
son whose name has been sent in by the
President for appointment to certain
office, such rejection is advising the
Executive that the Senate does not con-
sent to the appointment; and by this
official act of that body the person whose
name was rejected is consttutionally
disqualified from performing the duties
and receiving the trusts and profits of
that certain Office while the recorded
judgment of the Senate remains unre-
versed. That is the whole case in a
nut shell, and there is no law OF preced-
ent to gainsay 1t. The President must
have acted in these matters without con-
sideration or consultation"
The statute of General Rawlins, which
was formerly placed upon reservation
at the intersection of New York Avenue
and 18TH Street, is about TO be removed
to the small triangle at the southeast
corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 9th
Street. The transfer of the statute was
brought about by the Army of the Ten
nessee, as it was thought that the mem
orial to so distinguished an officer should
have more prominent site than had
been afforded it.
The President and Mrs. Cleveland
have all of their plans arranged, and
will leaye for theAdirondack wilderness,
in Northern New York, early next week.
They have engaged rooms at the cele-
brated summer hotel of Paul Smiths,
upon the Upper Saranac Lake, and will
probably spend four or five weeks at
least in the woods. II.
