IkTER RE ST.

The policy of any government
should be TO encourage production,

tutes its wealth. Now the leading
industry of this country is agricul-
turc, which, tor the last ten years,
has not yielded three per cent. an

And this capital thus invested for
the purposes Of increasing the resour.
ces of the nation is preyed upon by
other capital, loaned to those who
have their means thus invested at a
rate of interest ruinous to the bor-
rover. So long as the state refuses
to pass a law fixing the rates of
interest to be charged at something
like the rate realized upon money
invested in the leading industry Of
tho state, just so long does the state
offer reward to capital to remain
out of the lines of production; that
principle allowed full play will
wreck any social system. We as.
sert q fact knwon 10 all who have

The career of Porfrio Diaz, who has re-

president of Mexico, has been full Of ad-
venture. Diaz was born in the state of
Oaxaca on the 14th of September, 1880,
and is now, consequently, 81 years old.
He is described as tall, dark, half Indian
type, his muscular figure impressing one
as the very incarnation of health and en-

Diaz was educated at the public schools
of Oaxaca, and studied law in Pueblo. In

at dusk each had two sets to his credit. The
last set was started, and after the games be-

he had rendered invaluable service as one
of New Hampshire's convention to con-
slider the newly formed constitution of the
United States, and to him we are largely
indebted for the fact that that state was
the ninth to ratify and thus secure the
new government.
New Hampshire's convention met in
February, 1888, and in the first test vote
there was small majority against rati-
flying. Then Josiah Bartlett, John Sulli-
van, John Langdon, Samuel Livermore
and John Pickering entered the arena,
and by pure force Of truth, eloquence
and ardent patriotism saved the day.
The opposition asked an adjournment to
consult their constituents; it was granted,
and when the convention reassembled the
constitution was adopted by vote of 81
to 46, on June 81 at o'clock p. M, just
four days before Virginia ratified. In
1890 DR.. Bartlett was elected president
of New Hampshire, and in 1893 governor
under the new constitution. He died

revolution against Lerdo's government.
While the ship in which he sailed was off
the coast Diaz fancied that his presence
had been discovered and that he was
about to be arrested. He jumped over
board and tried to swim ashore, but was
picked up by boat and taken back to the
steamer. When he landed at Vera Cruz
he disguised himself as coal HEAVIER and
thus went ashore unknown.
When he reached Oaxaca he was ac-
knowledged by the chiefs who favored his
cause. Taking command of 1000 men he
marched upon Pueblo. Then it became
Lerdo's time to get away. He fed to the
United States, and Diaz occupied the CAPT.
tai. Then came truly Mexican times.
There were no less than four presidents,
but Diaz was the strongest. The people
became anxious for one of those brief in
tervals of peace which occasionally came
to Mexico in those days, and Diaz was
elected president.
He did not keep the promises made at
his election, and was deserted by his
party. He, however, organized a party
of his own, composed of all the elements
he could get together. This he opposed
to his former adherents, subdued the
revolution that had broken out, executed
and banished without trial till he success
fully cleared the way before him.
At the expiration Of his term in 1880 he
could not be reelected, so he transferred
his power to the secretary of war. Con-

A SIGN OF THE TIMES?
THE FUNERAL OF THE LATE Mr.,
COURTLANDT PALMER.

Christian Minister and an Agnostie
Ofiiciated and the Body was Cremated.
Does Any Special Significance Attach to
These Facts?
The late Courtlandt Palmer was an ag-
nostic, a political liberal and an amateur
in science. a rich man socialist, and the
founder Of the noted Nineteenth Century
club Robert G. Ingersol is the much
more noted orator and agnostic, whose be-
lief is SO nearly complete negation of all
belief that he is pleased to be nicknamed
Pagan Bob" Rev. Richard Heber New
ton is noted clergyman of the Episcopal
church, whose tendency of recent years
has been toward latitudinarianism in be-
lief and extreme liberalism in association.
And, finally, cremation is the scientific
disposal of the dead by incineration,
method which has so gained favor of late
that almost every city now has its crema-
tory. These four statements serve to in
troduce the relation of an affair which
vividly illustrates certain tendencies of
thought in the United States, especially
in New York -

bodies, and in Rome, almost within the
shadow of the Vatican, large crematory
is in almost daily use.
In the United States the progress of
the movement has astonished its warm
est advocates. When Dr. LIE Moyne built
the first crematory at Washington, Pa,
there was much talk of appealing to the
law to stop him, and the first incinera-
tion of corpse was published in all the
papers as a sensational item; now there
are incinerations almost daily, and Gre
nation societies are so numerous that the
public no longer consider them. The
Fresh Pond, Long Island, crematory,
opened Dec. 4, 1886, has already con-
sumed 200 bodies, half Of these being those
Of Germans, as that people generally favor
the process. 4*&
Of Hon. Robert G. Ingersoll's remarks
over the coffin Of Courtlandt Palmer it
can only be said that they were in the
very highest style of pagan oratory. He
had not the inspiration which moved
Pericles in the wonderful address over
the Athenians who fell in battle, yet
there is remarkable similarity between
the two addresses, and Ingersolls is the

Roman senate that he considered death
the end Of all activities, and Ingerson only
says that no one can know the contrary;
yet he says it in mournfully sweet
English with which the ponderous and
sonorous Latin of Cesar cannot be com.
pared. Socrates, like Courtlandt Palmer,
said he could die without fear, because it
was silly to fear that of which we could
have no knowledge, and Ingersoll vir-
tually says the same; but Plato and
Xenophon could reason themselves into
the faith that Socrates still lived, and
our modern pagan fails even of that.
His oration is indeed mournfully sweet,
but it is at the best a negation; he can
only tell us that we need not despair; he
cannot bid US to hope.

OF very great prominence and influence.
He was born at Amesbury Nov. 21, 1929,
and after obtaining good academic edu-
cation studied medicine, and began to
practice at Kingston, N. H. He repre-
sented that place in the colonial legisla-
ture of 1865, and in the preliminary dis
cussions between Great Britain and the
colonists he took very active part on the
side of liberty. After receiving valuable
appointment from the royal governor he
was deprived of it for being an uncompro-
missing Wing. In the meantime he had
emerged triumphantly from professional
fight, which is seldom mentioned.in his
tory, though it marked an epoch.
In 1904 there was great epidemic of
"angina maligna," which we might define
as malignant catarrhal fever, complicated
with what we now call malaria" DR..
Bartlett prescribed quinine as tonic and
anti-periodic; the older school of physicians
condemned him, and a wordy war ragged
for some time, but experience fully iusti-
fed DR.. Bartlett's course, and the practice
recommended by him has since been estab-
lished as the regular thing in medicine.
1t should be added that at that time
Peruvian bark was the agent most en-
ployed instead of quinine.
In 1774 be boldly advocated prepara-
tion for resistance to British aggressions,

militia. He was chosen one Of the first
delegates to the continental congress, was
the first to vote for independence, and,
after the president, the first to SIGN the
Declaration. During the war he was in

he went to New Haven with the intention
of taking the course at Yale university,
but circumstances prevented and he did
not graduate, although he studied for
some time under private tutors
About this time Mr.. Jones was ap-
pointed United States consul at Clifton,
Ont, position he held until 1871, when
he went to Rochester, where he has since
resided. After studying law for three
years in the Office of the late Henry Sar-
gent he was admitted to the bar. He has
since practiced law.
For five years he was worthy chief tenn
plar of the State Grand lodge, and he has
given much time and attention to the
welfare of the order. Until about four
years ago Mr.. Jones was Republican.

flight of the Mexican government from
the capital he was persuaded to accept the
command of the Mexican army, but only
for short time, as he fenred that his
youth-he was 33 years old--would create
dissatisfaction and breed discord. After
the arrival of Maximilian in 1864 Diaz
became one of the main stays of the re-
publican cause. He commanded poorly
equipped army of 5000 men, yet he held
the French in check in the southeastern
states; but after conquering the northern
states the invader besieged Diaz in
Oaxaca and forced him to capitulate. 1t
was not long, however, before he was

| till the withdrawal of the French.
When the republic found itself badly
used up after long series Of civil war,
| which had been followed by tho French oc-
cupation and withdrawal, and was under
going the process of reconstruction, Diaz
retired to his ranch in Oaxaca In 1867 he
ran against Benito Juarez for president,
but was unsuccessful. Here begins period
of continued plotting by Diaz against the
government In 1S7O-71 he failed in a
revolt against Juarez and fed with Gen.
Golvan, the one disguised as valet and
the other as clergyman, to Sierra de Alicia,
where Diaz intended to secure the CO.

brated bandit called Losada. The bandit,
however, seems to have preferred the
legal authority, for he gave Diaz 1.-The cold
shoulder" Diaz gave it all up and went
to New Orleans.
Having asked amnesty of Juarez the
fugitive was allowed to return to Mexico
on condition that he would present him
self at the capital as political prisoner
The condition was not fulfilled. Diaz
went to Matamoras and again began to
conspire against the government. Juarez
ordered his arrest, and Diaz hurried to the
local authority to assure the government
Of his fidelity, and at the same time de-
cline to be candidate for president.
All this, though doubtless unintelligi-
BILE in the United States, within whose
territory only one government besides the
present one has ever been set up, was
natural enough in Mexico, and Juarez
rewarded Diaz by using his influence to
have him appointed deputy. Protected
by the privileges of this Office. the deputy
joined revolution. He won over some
prominent men, but they were defeated,
and Diaz again sught refuge under the
Stars and Stripes at Brownville, Tex,
where he remained hidden till the death
of Juarez, in 1872.
Lerdo, Juarez's successor, proclaimed
amnesty and DiaZ returned to bis stota
