INDIANOLA AND GALVESTON.

Regarding the sad disaster at lndianola,
it remains mystery why the group OF
persons up in the signal service Office, in
Guiding the officer himself, did not leave it
in time to warn others of impending dan
ger and save themselves. According to
our special this morning it is stated the
Inflated group descended to the street
long after sunrise, and not till the rising
flood was waist deep on the pavement
These persons certainly were cognlzant of
the destruction of the place in 1915.
Moreover Captain Reed must have been
aware of the grave danger approaching
sufficiently to have vacated the office in time
to save himself and others. Was he in
fatuated with the doom whose shadows,
even as the sun rose over the raging sea,
fell upon that little group, several of
whose members were, within an hour, to
perish in the maelstrom of waters?
Take it all in all, it was a disaster al
most as appalling as that of 1875, and
when the results of the cyclone are
studied, the conclusion is reasonable that,
some time or other, tidal wave, driven
by some bowling tempest as swift and ter
rible as that which swept over Indianola,
may yet engulf Galveston Island. 1t may
have been submerged by these tremen-
lous sea storms before the recollection of
civilized man. 1t may. be again, and the
proud city which sits on the sands of the
gulf share the same fate as her more
'outherly sister, Indianola.

opposIr1oN OF THE BEST ADVANTAGE.

The Fort Worth Gazette, IN
spirit of simon-pure democratic dlsin-
terestedness. advises the Republicans to
save time and money and not hold any
state convention or trouble themselves
about the state elections-to hold them
selves in check until the presidential trial
comes off. This is kind to the over-ma-
fortified party, but we hardly think most
beneficial TO the states interests. man
don't work his best, unless he has some
incentive. Nor will dominant and too
self-satisfied and boastful party secure Its
best material for office in the absence OF
some goad. In the sitting process OF IN
dividual rivalry the best men OF party
NAV come to the front; but if the party is
too conscious of its own assured victory,
there is not that general interest that
should mark the party discussions and
efforts. Let the republicans always meet
and organize; let them legitimately
strengthen themselves on all sides, and
let them make it necessary for the demo-
Gratis to place only their best men in NOM
nation for office. A victory is valued as
much for the effort it cost as for the ben
eft gained. 1t is to the interest, then, of
the best government of the state, that the
democrats should win, but win after the
fight is over, not through a conceded |
victory.

WAR TALK.
AN AMERICANS VIEWIN THE CITY
OF MEXICO.

AN AMERICANS VIEW IN THE CITY
OF MEXICO.
From the San Antonio Express.
A private letter from a we'll known
and responsible American resident in the
City of Mexico contains the following in
teresting war talk:
/ see war rum ors are rife throughout
the state, and Governor Ireland's views
seem to meet, not only by citizens of the
state, but also by other states as we'll,
the appreciation of Americans through
out Mexico. Americans, residents in
the city, are almost unit upon the sub
ject of war and anxiously hope the
United States will accept no apology
from the republic of Mexico They
claim that abuses of this kind have gone
unpublished long enough and it has be-
come an established fact that Mexicans
have grown arrogant and offensive to
Americans through the indisposition of
the United States to extend proper pro-
lection to her subjects residing in Mexico,
aud Americans, as alleged by the Gal
weston News, are, as rule, almost afraid
to express themselves even in Justice of
their cause simply because past events
have proven that they cannot rely upon
the home government for redress or pro-
lection. On my usual promenade this
evening through the Alameda l met an
English gentleman who called my atten-
ton to the fact that on the flying horses
on these grounds they display all national
cOlors, among them the flag of the United
States, and within the last few days several
shot have been fired through it. This, of
course, is some individual Spleen but it
is fair evidence of the respect the flag re-
ceives. l am fully aware that many Next
cans here are in favor of war but they
are chiefly class of adventures who
have little to gain and less to lose, while
the better class of these people oppose a
war bitterly, and they are sensible, vet
they are largely in the minority. Presi-
dent Diaz himself is violently opposed to
any serious trouble growing out of the
Cutting case or any other, but rumor
says he is powerless to act. If he should
use his influence against the popular will
of the people it will destroy his party, and
defeat him in the next
presidential contest. So this
will virtually force him TO acouiesce
to the clamor for war, And we here can
see no solution to the present troubles ex-
cept the backing down of the United

IT'S DONE.
the earth.

"Come, children, let US shut up the box
and the puppets, the play is played out"
This scathing satire of Thackeray's well
concludes the farce but now completed, in
which Cutting was conspicuous character
and the Unite States figured as the clown.
All the facts are before the people, let a
few be contrasted and the verdict be left
with that tribunal, the highest in the
land.
The Mexican Central railroad officials,
representing $50OO0,000 of Boston CAPT
tai, were exceedingly anxious for peace,
other large monied interests in Mexico
were owned by Americans, the Mexican
government are poor and overwhelmingly
in debt the case was compromised.
Why?
Under the usual course of Mexican JUS
tice governor of province, the par
doning power, cannot commute sentence
until two-tifths of the time has been
served out. Cutting was in Jail two
months two-ffths of his years sentence
would have been four and four-fifths
months. Again, wherefore!
Gen. Sedgwick, the United States dep
uty, was on his way to examine critically
the cooked proceedings in Cutting
trial. The supreme court on the day OF
his arrival in the City of Mexico with
closed doors, "revise the entire written
evidence in the case" and order Mr.
Cutting turned lose.
But the last scene is the coup of the
play, and has the saving clause. The su
preme court affirmed the validity of the
extra territorial law which Secretary Bay
ard said the United States would never
permit to be enforced"
The summary in the case is unique
Cutting was arrested at the option o
Mexico, was confined against our govern
ment's protest, was turned loose before
the time pos sible according to Mexican
law, for reasons best known to Mexico
and Mexico still claims the right to arres
anybody she pleases, and the United
States can make the most of it. "Wha
fools these mortals be-" Let us have an
other sensation-the Nineteenth century
is drawing to a close.

THE DETHRONED PRINCE.

As the grand politico spectacular
drama in eastern Europe unfolds, sur
prise at the apparent purposes equals
only the power of the leading actors in
the piece, whose shadowy outlines so far
only have appeared in the background.
The immediate conspirators who, in the
shadow of the historic Balkans, have just
enacted the "lofty scene" of dethroning
so distinguished a prince as Alexander, of
Bulgaria, appear simply to be puppets of
Russia, for the double purpose of resent
ing the refusal of Alexander to become
the tool of the car, and
carrying out the long cherished
schemes of Russia for territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT on the Balkans.
This bold game cannot escape the atten-
ton of the other powers, or pass without
exciting their action.
Turkey, Austria, England, must eventu-
ally have voice in the matter, and it is
impossible to tell what implications may
ensue. The conspirators first attempted
to put out the impression that Alexander
had aDdicated. In this mornings dis
patches, however, it is admitted the abdi-
cation-if it was an abdication-was I'M
der threats of death. 1t indeed looks
like the iron hand of the Gar. If so, we
may expect other more startling develop
ments in the plot later on.

RECONSTRUCT THE NATURALIZATION
LAWS.

Under tie sweeping declaration that
our country is one of freedom, and
founded to conserve equal rights and lib
critics to all, it is contended the universe
is taken in, and therefore it would be con
trary to the spirit of our institutions to
impose restrictions upon immigration to
our shores. If this be granted to these
contestants, yet surely they would not go
the single one step farther and say our
country should be unprotected under such
license.
As rule two classes of men there are
who emigrate. One the honest, hard work
ing laborer. When he finds his round of
duties circumscribed, his severest efforts
only gaining pitiful return, his leglti-
mate field of work crowded upon by
other men as capable and Jealous as he,
and with no chance of lettering his posi-
ton, ne then seeks another habitation,
another country Offering better chance
for bread, surer hope for successful
labor. The other class is the ad-
venturer; an adventurer either by
inclination or from force of circum-
stances. If the first, at best he breathes
suspicion, if the latter and debarred from
his native country or made too uncom-
Portable to prefer it as his home, then
peculiarly demanding watching.
The first class of immigration builds up
a country, developes it and causes ma
ton to spring into existence. The latter
brings in disintegrating cause ; they
blow the flame of unrest, dissatisfaction,
trouble and discord. II is from Chis class
every government shogld free its soil or
firmly repress their influence. 1t is this
class that now threatens our nation with
social anarchy. 1t is this class whose ex-
ponents have but lately met with justice
at the hands of the Chicago jury.
The society of the patriotic Sons of
America" is right in the principles enun-
ciated. Let the matter of promiscuous
immigration be looked into, and if we
cannot curtail and choose the kind of i'm
at least let us make such strin-
gent naturalization laws, that the
east possible harm can result from the
admission of such class of settlers.
The greatest difficulty in this direction
springs up in our own midst The willy
politician, with no other thought than his
,wn advantage, sees in this character of "
people molten metal, ready for his snap .
ng; upon them his oratory and promises V
# preferment have the greatest weight Il
e needs Just such people. and while they
an be useful to him they will be greatly
rotected and, It's with shame confessed, u
