under the name of "Collectivism. OHe
of the most notable eXponeuts Of this ays
TEN is Henri Brissac, the French writer
who he claims has carried out theories OF
Karl Marx to their logical and legitimate
resuts-in theory only, of course. Like all
other Socialist writers and thinkers he BE
lieves that radical Transformation and
reformation OF society as it exists at the
present day ami has existed for ages past
is absolutely necessary for the happiness
of the human race, aud he does not doubt
that such an ideal state Of affairs as he
pictures to his imagnaton will ultimately
be brought about. This is what he says in
a letter to the Philadelphia Time, about
his pet hobby. "Collecitvism.
"Collectivism aims at placing the means
of production in the hands of society at
large to abolish capital and 10 establish
in it a system that will enabIe the work
men to produce either individually, on
the account or by means Of association,
having neither 1.-THE nor service duty

ton equivalent to the work performed, all
charges deducted 1t seeks TO replace

to found one at destroying our present
frontiers and vast republic thus, rendering
impossible all International wars and
transforming the soldier of today into
the workman of Tomorrow.
"All existing wealth is represented by
the land and by the products therefrom.

THINKS WE WERE HASTY,
TALK WITH PRESIDENT DiAZ ABOUT
THE CUTTING AFFAIR.

He DepIores the Tone of Certain Amer
lean and Mexican Papers-What the
Minister of the Interior Says-A Letter
from an American Living in Mexico

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug 6-In an inter-
view in regard to the Cutting case Thursday
terror, gave review of Cuttings case. his
character, and that Of Medina He said
that Cutting, by command of the court,
published an apology in an Ell Paso news
paper, but worded it so as to make it really
an insult to the court Cutting took pains
himself to cross the river and circulate this
issue of the paper on this side of the river.
He was thereupon arrested in proper legal
form, but was treated with more eonsidera-
tion than Mexican criminals. He said the
executive here could not set aside the judi-
ciai power on demand from the United
States because the Judge had acted in good
faith. Senior Rubio continued:
"The government here considered that
Cutting had not only infringed the code of
the state of Chihuahua, which makes of
lenses against its citizens committed on for
eign territory punishable by its courts, but
had also committed an offense on this side
of the line by refusing, without giving any
reason, to recognize the demand of the
Judge, using insulting language to that
official, and it was clear that the circulat-
ing OF tbs statement derogatory to the
court on this side of The river constituted a
lear case of offense against the law
Senior Rubio said full report of the case
had been forwarded to Washington at the
request OF President DiaG
President Diaz said he had no apprehen-
sion OF difficulties growing out of the affair,
which was really quarrel between two
disreputable journalists He thought the
| United States was triiie hasty in the mat
ter, owing, probably, to inaccurate and one
sided reports: but he had no doubt that the
full explanation would lead to .almer con-
sideration and iust decision.

MISUNDERSTANDING Gu TIE part OF the MeNl-
| can troops. In many cases be had gone

justice done He hoped that nothing would
