WILL THERE RE WAR.

As to the question will Mexico fight the answer is, there is no doubt of it. Mexicars are brave fighters.
 IL may be asked will the United States fight for Cutting if Mexico will no, give him up' She will if there is any of the spirit of '76 or '6I left in her.
 The Constitution of the United States guarantees freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. Under this guarentee NIT. Cutting jndubitablc acted when he published in Texas the offen- sive card renecting on Mexican for which he is now held in Mexican jail. MT. Cutting appears to be an objectionable person, and his action was highly reprehensible, but it was his right as an American citizen in inc United States.
 IL may be hard for Mexico to allow an American to reflect on q Mexican in an American paper. but as a nation she will have to stand il so long IS the con- s,ituiion of inc United States exists - Philadelphia News

He has given more attention to the south than to any other section sf the country, believing that if he goes into the national convention with the solid south back ot him, he, with that and the power ofhis administration, will be able to force his rencminauon."

MEXICAN LAWS FOR TEXAS.

Mexico certainly has some peculiar laws and among them the statutes under which ;he Cutting case was prosecuted. The attempt to enforce. criminal laws for offenses committed outside of the Jurs- dlction of the country passing the law is a novel feature in criminal Jurispru- dence. The act referred 10 reads as follows:

 I. That the accused be found in the republic, either by having come oi his own free will or brought by extraditlon.

The Black Flag.

Out from the tower, tossed here and there,
The black flag waved in the sun-lit air
And thick brown jacketed, winging too,
Back to the caves the sparrows flew;
4 nd the far-off hills shone crisp with snow,
And the gaunt trees stood in the vale below,
Where the river winds, like serpent gray,
It's dappled length through it's leafiess way.
AS looked to the west the sun went down
Wan and dim DER the dull, old town,
And it's red peaked roofs were lost on the height,
In the dusky gray of the evening light;
And north by east the keen wind blew.
Whistled and sang the long night through.
When dawn flushed red looked again
Out on the world, but not the same;
No naked sun trimmed the steely blue
And the golden shafts that inward few
Were lost to me through the frost touched pane,
With here village and there lane
OF towering shrubs, and woolly, white
Were cudded sheep, in the golden light;
And the mountain spurs and the Alpine peak
Were touched by dawn's faint, rosy streak,
And half way down, on ledge grown gray,
A giltedged cross rose by the way
Near twisted roots of lofty pine;
A shepherd flutes and the young kids climb
AS the broad day reddens l see it all,
Nor heed, in the chimney the bugler's CALL
AS loud and long the keen wind blew,
Whistled and sang the whole day through
And out from the tower. floating there,
The black flag waves, in the sun-smote air.

ly r. l., with the opening of the current year be-
gan most important experiment in proft-shar.
ing with their workmen. The company is one
composed in the ordinary way of shareholders
with salaried officers to conduct their business.
The employees, who are in future to share net
profits under quasi cooperative system, are
common laborers earning from 81 20 to 81 90
day in the quarries. They are ignorant,
Woodworking men, with no economic theories
beyond the belief that every laborer is entitled
to little more than capital is ever willing to
give him. The present not wholly novel scheme
has been introduced by the president OF the COM
pany, a man at once shrewd, enterprising and
humane. 1t is in brief. TO pay the laborers their
usual wages throughout the year, to pay the
shareholders the legal rate of interest on their
capital and then to call whatever earnings re-
main, after settling all other accounts net
profits and divide them in equal thirds between
the laborers. the shareholders, and q permanent
reserve fund. The company estimates that in
good years the laborers who have earned their
ST. So day throughout the twelve months will
receive dividend Of between $50 and $40. The
workmen themselves are not over-sanguine of
any such pleasant result. but arc gratifed to find
that their employers are willing to try to do
them good turn.
