Is 1t an International Case?

Henry George says the land by in
alienable right belongs to the people,
and that every man is entitled to as
much Of it as is necessary for him to
earn living for himself and his fam
lily. If this be true, the city has no
right to the street corners to the detri-
ment of any man who wants to make
living thereon. Mexican female
dealers have been in the habit of con-
gregating at night around the Glen
Lea corner, to the obstruction of pas
sage along the sidewalk, and then the
purchasers of their potpourri of red
pepper, tough beef succulent dog and
tender kitten would throw their
shucks down in pile in the cutters
and thus obstruct the same, dam them
up, so the supertluous water could not
flow off, and the cellar underneath
the Glen Lea would overflow and a
muss generally would be raised. Mar
shall Arnold, in view of these facts, in
structed the police to disperse the
gatherings on this and other corners
of the dusky descendants of Monte
yuma who vend the luscious female.
Last night an officer attempted
to dispense knot of them
on corner, and one proud Aztec,
with all he hot blood OF Spain in his
veins, mingled with that Of long line
of descendants direct from Montezuma
himself for aught one knows, declined
to scatter and he was arrested. His
name is Rodriguez, name in which
many noble don and autocratic Hid
algo has gloried, and he was before the
mayor this morning. There was the
CLEAN of grandeur in his coal-black
eve. hauteur in his manner and dis
dain of English in his language, as he
would speak nothing but his native
tongue. The mayor was utterly reck-
less of these facts and fined him SO,
which he paid with the air of a prince.
Is it an international case or not!
America has had her Cutting, and why
should not the land of God and Lib
erty" have her Rodriguez. The gal
liant sons of Mars who compose the
Volunteer State Guards and who all
have now bran new colonies, lieuten-
ant colonies and majors, might per-
haps do well to look to their arms. The
dread alarm of war may sound
through the land, the tocsin be
sounded and the awful pronunciamen-
to from the clienc of the cactus and
the burro, of: "a Rodeniguez! To
the Rescue! War to tho knife
and the knife to the hilt!
Maldito los gringos!" He hurl-
ed in our faces and thousand camp
fires be cleaning along the Rio Grande
in less than week. What? fine de-
cendent of the Cid for selling females:
Stain the escutcheon of a noble greaser
as ever wore blanket or stole a horse,
for selling females? War War! let
slip all the dogs of war.

In the drummer case, the Supreme
Court of the United States does not hold
that State may not impose tax or IL
cense on commercial travellers. On the
contrary, 1t admits that the Michigan
statute would be within the power Of
the State had its provisions been made
applicable to resident and nonresident
statesmen alike and to the products OF
Michigan and those of other States
equally. A State has a right to tax
drummers, but not TO tax those of 9TH
er States while exempting its own citi-
zens. It has right to tax liquors or
other goods, but it has no right to tax
the products of other States and ex-
empt its own. The law must be general
and make no distinction between citi-
zens and non-residents, between home
and foreign products. 1t is discrimina-
tion against other States that is uncon-
stitutional.-Erchdn

RUssIAs ENGINEERING UNDERTAKING
DRAINING the Great Pinsk Marshes-Four
Million Acres Reclaimed.

Draining the Great Pinsk Marshes-Four
Million Acres Reclaimed.
London Enrineeringl
Few people are probably aware Of the
great engineering undertaking in which
Russia has been engaged for years,
draining the Pinsk marshes. These are
so extensive as to secure special desig-
nation on the ordinary map Of Europe,
being, we believe, the only case Of the
kind, and in point of the area are very
much larger than Ireland. situated on
the Russo Polish confines they have be-
come famous in Russian history and
have remained an irreclaimable wilder
ness in the midst Of a prosperous, corn
growing region mp to within the last
few years.
In 1870 the Russian government first
took in hand seriously this wild expanse,
which, owing to being perpetuaily moro
or less submerged and covered with a
Jungle growth Of forest prevented not
only communication between the Russian
districts on either side, but also between
Russia and Austro Germany. Conse-
quently large staff of engineering Off
GERS and several thousand troops were
drafted into the region and these have
been engaged on the undertaking since.
Up tn the present moment about 4,000,-
900 acres have been reclaimed, thanks
to the construction of several thousand
miles of bitches and of canals so broad
as to be navigable for barges of several
hundred tons burden. Just now the
engineers are drawing up the pro-
gramme for rext year, which comprises
the drainage of $50, 900 acres by means
of the construction of l20 miles of
bitches and canals.
OF the 100000 acres already re.
claimed, COO, 900 acres consisted Of sheer
bog, which have been converted into
good meadow land, 100000 acres o.
forest tange, which have been pre-.
pared for timber purposes by cutting
down all the underwood and timing
the trees, 10000 acres of good forest
land-forest GASES in the midst of the
marshes - hitherto inaccessible, but
which have been connected more or less
with navigable canals and thereby with
the distant markets, and finally 1000,
900 acres have been thrown open to cul-
tivation, although only 10000 acres
have been actually occupied up TO now.
Besides making the canal and bitches
the engineers have built 40 bridges,
bored l52 wells from forty feet to
eighty feet deep, and 425 from twenty
fee: to forty feet, and have made sur
vey of 10000 square miles of country
hitherto unmapped. When their task
is finished Russia will have effaced from
the map of Europe one of the oldest
and toughest bits of savage nature of
the continent, and few years will suf-
fee to render the Pinsk marshes indis.

A Famou. Aztec Republic.
Fla ME b. Wards Lette-.l

Ifd me ID. W tru Lette-l
Tlaxcala, which in Aztec signifies the
Land of Bread, is that famous Indian
republic: in the heart of the Sierra
Madres which, as early as 1i40, shut
out despotism by wall as insurmount-
able as that of the Chinese. In the
days of the first Montezuma Monte
yuma Uhuicamina) this plucky little
province had isolated itself SO COM
pletely as to allow no dealings with sur
rounding nations, and for more than a
century its citizens lived without cotton,
salt, or any foreign product. Their
only food was the fruit and corn they
cultivated and game caught among the
snow-capped Tlaxcalan mountains.
Their clothing was made of braided
osiers, woven fibres of the century
plant, and the skins of animals slain in
the chase.
Their government was primitive
sort of republic, composed of a senate,
or council of elders, presided over by
an hereditary chief, and the simple dig
nifty OF their political institutions has
since been the admiration of the learned
Of many lands. Cortez found in the
Tlaxcalans the most terrible and un.
daunted OF all his enemies, and never
could his march to the capital have
been accomplished had he not won them
to his cause by promising to deliver
into their hands their more ancient
enemies Of Tenochtitlan. On that mo.
mentous day, Nov. 8, 1913, when the
first Europeans entered the capital OF
the western world, the entire company
Of invaders numbered not more than
1000, of whom less than 400 were Span
iards, all the rest being dark-skinned
Tlaxcalan warriors; and to those feroc-
ious allies was mostly due the victory
on that day of butchery.

and coastwise. The total cure of the
islands thus amounts to $3.50, 900 barrels.
Compared with the figures Of only
eight years ago this shows an extraordi-
nary increase. Tho quantity shipped
In 1877 amounted to only 3,2i6 barrels.
The market price of this seasons cur1

500 boats were employed in the fishing
and upward of eighty curers. The to-
