The Success OF The Mexican President.
The three men who have most decidedly
and most benefcially moulded the affairs
of Mexico have been: Hidalgo, who led the
revolt against Spain; Juarez, who led the
movement that eliminated in the establish
ment of liberal constitutional republic;
and Diaz, who has made this constitution
al republic a practical working success.
Any student of history will understand
that in this scheme of work Diaz has per-
formed the most difficult part. Hidalgo
and Juarez had to operate with, and at the
same time had to sustain, an excited
popular sentiment that needed only direct
ion in order to accomplish the work in
hand, for each was a leader In a profoundly
popular cause. In the case of Diaz pre-
cisely the reverse of this encouraging
condition of affairs has obtained. His
work has been the more difficult one of
soothing people excited by more than
half century of civil warfare, of establish
ing wholesome but irksome restraints, by
enforcing obedience to laws which to a
considerable portion of the younger men
of Mexico practically were unknown, and
at the same time he has been forced to solve
problem in political finance that man
bred statesman and fnancier, still more
man bred simply a soldier, very well
might have regarded as hopelessly insolu-
bic. A great part of this most difficult
task, with the assistance of the able men
whom he has drawn around him as coun-
sellers, he already has accomplished, and
what remains to be done almost will come
of itself from the sheer momentum of the
reforms which he has set in motion, and
from the long-continued period during
which he has secured to the country the
blessing of profound peace For the first
time since the revolt of 1910 the men of
Mexico now between thirty and forty years
of age-the class that, being fullest of
mental and physical energy, is the actual
motive power In all countries-have had
no opportunity to vent their energies in
other than peaceful ways, and so have
acquired substantial interests, the desire to
protect which is the best possible guarantee
against further civil war This whole
some diversion of the energies of the country
into channels of productive industry at
once leading to and stimulated by the con-
struction of an extended system of railway
that has developed abundant resources of
wealth heretofore latent, and that at the
same time has consolidated many scatter
ed communities resulted in giving to
the republic moral and financial stability
and national strength such as it never
until now has enjoyed-THoMAs A

THERE is no doubt that the horrible dis
closures recently made as to the vices of
the British aristocracy ought to be pre-
lude-as so many say and believe they are
to the downfall of that element. We
must confess, however, to a good deal of
skepticism on that point The British
aristocracy has been often shown up in con-
nection with its vices, and though a good
deal of Indignation has been aroused there
by nothing practical has come to the ex-
posture except when some exposer, like
Stead of the Pail Mall Gazette, has been
sent to prison We cannot even muster up
much enthusiasm about the queen alleged
Indignation She had fit of the same
kind, we remember, when Baker Pasha
was convicted of an outrageous crime
against decency and honor; but she after
ward reinstated the criminal in his position
in the army.

THANKS GIVING.
JENNIE MAXWELL PAINE.

We look TO the hills for rest;
For strength we turn TO the sea:
For the boon of these, and fair bequest
OF teeming lands TO the seaways, we
With JOY give thanks.
Best thanks for the favor is
The fullest use ofthe gift:
The pleasure expressed Is song of praise,
And praise is a prayer whereby we lift
Unceaslng thanks.
Now at the time of the feast
And of bursting granaries.
Now sound of scythe on the grass has ceased,
And reapers rest with a smile of ease,
Do we give thanks.
Not now at the feast, alone,
But ever, from June till June,
While the harvest is budded and blown,
By the glad thought of the heart in tune,
Do we give thanks.
For suns that mellow the fruit;
For strong, clean winds and the SHOWS
Like fold of fleece upon the root
OF the oak, and the root of the rose,
Do we give thanks.
For dews and for warm, soft rains,
That infuse new blood in the wood,
For the herb and vine that flushed the lanes,
Through waving fields at the summers flood
Do we give thanks.
For thrill on the line or nerve,
That leap in quick response
To music's touch, and the thrill that serves
As the souls applause to eloquence,
Do we give thanks.
For strength of the firm, 1.-THE limbs,
And wealth of body and long
Deep reach of thought, and hope that skins
Like bird, our heaven for light, with song,
Do we give thanks
For subtle force of the brains
Keen power, and the fire thereof;
For the jubilant blood in our veins
That leaps and bounds when life is enough,
Dove give thanks.
By vigor of brain and thought,
By reach of the sympathies,
BY much well doing and pleasures wrought
By color of fields and flow of seas,
Do we give thanks.

IT is generally believed that there is a
good deal of truth In the statement that
the Cubans are quietly effecting a thor,
ough organization, having for its objec
the complete overthrow of the government.
The young men of the island, as rule,
are very much opposed to the monarchy,
and are ripe for any call which may be
made upon them They are in thorough
sympathy with the laboring class, while
the third, the old Dons are still firm In
their faith in monarchial institutions.
The laborers are discontinued with their
very poor wages and the harsh usages by
their military masters, and any
change would be for the better. The Span
ish authorities have taken advantage OF
their position on this island to Cypress the
planters and others by exorbitant taxation,
so that the time is about ripe for an open
revolt. The revolt will occur as soon as a
leader appears, and New York cores
pondent on the scene says it will be more
sapguinary than the Brazilian revolution.
