The Foreigner in Mexico.

On the other hand the Mexican land
avs discriminate very rigorouslyagainst
the requirement of land by foreigners
who do not propose to become Mexican
citizens, and seem to be especially
framed TO prevent any encroachments
on the part of the United States. Thus,
no foreigner may. without previous per-
mission of the President of the Repub-
lie, acquire real estate in any of the
border States. within twenty leagues
Sixty miles) of the frontier; but such
permission has of late been freely given
to citizens of the United States for the
requirement of ranching property on
the northern frontier. The ownership
of real estate by foreigner in either
country or city. within fifteen miles of
the coast is, however, absolutely for
hidden, except on the condition of a
special act Of Congress granting it. 1t
is only, furthermore. through a direct
permission of the Minister of Foreign
Affairs that {, foreigner in Mexico is ac-
corded any standing IN u court of sjus-
tice. BY the Constitution of Mexico, a
foreigner who purchases any real es-
tate in that country, without declaring
that he retains his nationality, becomes
a citizen of Mexico; and it is difficult to
see how under such conditions he could
properly invoke any protection from the
country of his prior citizenship, in case
he considered his rights in Mexico to
be invaded. Again, the laws regulat-
ing mining property in Mexico are very
peculiar. No enc in Mexico, be he ma
tive or foreigner, can own a mine alb
solutely, or in fee, no matter what he
may pay for it. He may hold it in
definitely, so long rs he works it; but
under an old Spanish law. promulgated
as far back us 1888, and still recog-
nized, if he fails ito work it for four
consecutive months, with four opera
tives, regularly employed, and occupied
in some interior or exterior work of real
utility and advantage" the title is for
feited and reverts to the State, and the
mine may be denounced" and shall
belong, under the same conditions, ito
the denouncer who proves its deser-
tion. The denouncer, to keep the
property, must however, Mt once take
possession and begin the prescribed
work within period of sixty days
This practice has one great advantage
over the American mining system; and
that is, that litigation about original
titles and conflicting claims to mining
property are almost unknown in Mexico

The Alleged School Strike.

A sensational dispatch was sent tc
several city papers, designed to give
the impression that the pupils of the
Lancaster schools were in open rebel
lion against the principal and that the
board were sustaining them in their re-
bellion.
The facts are, that last Monday morn
ing about half dozen boys came to
the principal, not more than two min.
utes before bell time, and asked holi-
day. They were kindly received, but
told that they should have gone to the
board or presented the matter sooner.
The president of the board was absent
from home, and the principal was I'M
able to see the other members. He
thought it would not be Unsuitable to
lose the whole forenoon, as the students
were already present, but he willingly
offered to dismiss school at 3 o'clock.
The conference between all the persons
concerned was pleasant and considerable.
Not a pupil in Prof Woods room
signed the petition for half holiday.
The following statement, signed by the
two members of the board who were
present, will give further facts:
A statement having been telegraphed
to some of the city papers, giving an

Will Robertson and Robert Baily, went
over to Specht's Ferry on a fishing ex-
cursion. They had very pleasant
time and caught more than a ton of
fine fish.
1t is with pain that we notice that
our friend Moore. of the Park House,
has been made the victim of another
cruel newspaper blast. This time it
comes from the Darlington Republican.
1t may be well to mention to our friend
Monahan, the editor of that paper, that
if he ever shows his attenuated form in
the vicinity of the Park House, he will
receive no quarter.
The people of Platteville are desery-
of great credit for the manner in which
they observed Decoration Day. If the
illustrious dead whose memory our
citizens honored could have looked
down upon our beautiful park, filled
with loyal people, met in the endeavor
to contribute by their presence to the
solemnity and appropriateness of the
occasion, they would surely have ex-
claimed, "Surely, all this was worth
lighting and dying for.''
Conductor SWEET, of the Northwest
ern, is said to be contemplating a
change in business. His many friends
have for long while been conscious of
great change in his outward de-
meanor. Not long ago a friend went
down the road with him and was sur
prised at his ability to quote Scriptural
passages. He made inquiry and found
that for long time his railroad friend
had been laboring under the conviction
that he was by nature designed for
something more exalted than a gatherer
of fares. Coming as he did from the
great state of Maine, and serving as
he served his country, in the capacity
of Chaplain in Company K, 18th Regi-
ment of Maine, a close personal friend
of his beau ideal Blaine, it is no won
der at all that he should chafe and be
in continued state of unrest. He said
to his friend that Conductor Larkin and
himself were negotiating for three acres
OF land in Utah, and that Larkin was
going to turn his attention to the cram
berry culture, while he should preach
to the barbarous Utah people. This
will be unwelcome news to Swett's
many friends here, and in Utah, and
especially TO the school marms who
have been the recipients of so many
courtesies from the charming SWEET.

zine. We do not hesitate in pronounce
ing it one of the best of agricultural
journals. For years it has been on our
exchange list, and every number that
comes to US seems to be better than its
predecessor. The June number con-
tains one hundred original illustrations
and original articles by forty-four well
known writer's in various parts of the

and German. This is periodical no

Charge Led by the ssCoIoneI. ;,

Five weeks ago an item appeared in
the HERALD, which item the Colonel
who commands the Milwaukee Iele-
graph attempted to criticise. The next
HERALD promptly replied to the at
tempted criticism. On this second
item the mountainous intellect of the
Colonel labored for more than three
weeks and finally gave birth to this
ridiculas mas:
The young man whoi is rafting around in the
chair once so splendidly filed by the late John
c. Cover says. in the Grant County HERALD that
officers never led their troops in battle. OF
course The young RATHER knows all about it.
Gen. Grant, who has been supposed to have had
some knowledge about such matters speaks in
his memoirs about several officers who led their
men. But OF course Grant was wrong and the
RATHER is right. By the way, how grand old John
Cover would groan il he could see that little
rattle-box in the chair he filed for a quarter of
century.
We did not suppose the Colonel"
would or could answer that item with
out misrepresentation and garbling,
and he has not. The HERALD did not
say: "Officers Meier led their troops in
battle" What it did say was:
1.-The regulation place of the officer
was behind the line of battle, the higher
the rank the farther behind-and the
considerably extended observation of
the writer of that item, supplemented
by the testimony of a great many other
old soldiers with whom he has talked,
is that the generals and colonies kept
their regulation places with great una
nimity. These gentlemen drew from
ten to fifty times the pay the fighters
did, had picnic where the privates
had all sorts of sheol. and since the war
have monopolized nineteen-twentieths
of the glory which properly belonged
to the private soldiers who did the real
fighing. 1t is time for the private SOL
diers to protest. Generals fought about
as Jay Gould builds railroads.
Is not this true? Let any old soldier
answer. Any soldier who carried a
musket and used his senses is as COM
petent witness as General Grant
The young RATHER" who wrote the
item referred to wrote of the hard, plain
reality that he had seen, not of the
pretty, pompous fiction that he had
read. The young RATHER" who furn-
ished the HERALD with that item has
probably seen and taken part in at least
as many battles as the Milwaukee "Col-
oner' who never commanded regl-
ment. The "Colonel's" military allus-
ions are about on par with his mud
died illusions to ''tbe grand old John
c. Cover" On looking over the files
of the HERALD we find that its able
pioneer editor once said: $50 many
editors are colonies because if the Gov
ernor desires to have the press on his side
he makes the editors his aids. Cheap
and sensible" That was more than
third of a century ago and it still has
some application to the Milwaukee
Colonel except the cheap and
sensible part. Some things are not
cheap at the smallest imaginable price.
