President Diaz, in his recent mes
sage to to the Mexican congress, refers
at length to the tragical death Of Cap
tain Crawford. He explains that the
troops who fired on that gallant soldier
were state troops, not even militia, but
volunteers. As the larger portion of
Captain CrawforG's command was
Indian in character, the Mexican Presi-
dent declares that it was but natural
the Chihuahua volunteers should have
taken them for enemies. OF course no
regrets the event, but indicates that
Mexico can do no more. as the military
convention for the protection Of the
border clearly points out that only
regular troops of either country could
properly cross the frontier lines in pur-
suit Of hostile Indians. This is doubt
less the legal and diplomatic view of
the tragedy, which, however, was
none the less regretable and ought not
to have occurred.

A memorial to congress is being cir
culated, urging the government to ex-
pend the $50, 000, 900 which it is pro-
posed to appropriate in aid of educa-
ton and for the navy and coast de-
lenses in adjusting the debts of the re-
pudiating states of the south. Inde-
pendent of the question of justice in
volyed, the memorial urges that repu-
diation is the deadliest foe to the prog
ress of the southern states. and that
the strength of a nation depends less
on it's Notifications and guns than upon
it's financial standing. There is some
truth In this view of the matter.
