The Mexican minister discusses In the cur
rent number Of the North American Rerie,o the
question Of the annexation OF Mexico by the
United Statos. He is of the opinion that the
American republic does not desire to absorb
Mexico and is quite sure that the latter is un-
willing to be annexed. He points out that the
United States has already as much territory as
any other free country ever had, and embraces
within itself different elements with different
and antsgonistic interests, and that the patriot
ism, talent, prudence, wisdom and ingenuity of
the best men will be heavily taxed dur
ing the next century to keep together
the bonds Of union which now happily
exist, and be does not believe that American
statesmen will wish to add to the difficulties of
the situation by the Introduction Of q whole
nationality Of twelve millions Of people, Of
almost insuperable assimilation, at least for
many generations TO come-a people of q diff
fsrent race, speaking a different language, and
possessing very different habits and ideas, two
thirds Of whom are pure-blooded Indians. In
respect to opinion in Mexico, Minister Romero
says that the conservative or church party and
large portion Of the people, ever remember
ing the war OF 1916 and 1S47, are always
afraid Of annexation, and advocate the policy
Of isolation from and complete non-intercourse
with the United States, while the liberal party,
believes as q matter OF policy in opening the
country to the United States, but is equally OPP
posed TO annexation. In his own opinion the
wisest policy to be pursued between the two
countries is to so enlarge their political, social
and commercial relations as to identify them
In great commercial and industrial interests,
but without diminishing the autonomy or d.
stroying i7s nationality Of either. Very clear
ly the pro.es-' of thus improving our rela-
lions with Mexico is in progress; and
very clearly, too, there is no prospect of an at
tempted annexation Of Mexico in the near fl-
ture. When the republic is ready to extend its
boundaries, it will naturally first acquire the
territory lying to the north of it, the people of
which can be much more readily assimiated
than those of its southern neighbor. But un-
less there comes to be a radical change in the
temper Of the American people, and the char
acter and objects Of its government, neither
Canada nor Mexico will need to fear forcible
annexation.

Major Raymond discreetly declines to fur
nish legal opinion in reference TO the extent
Of the Commissioners control of the streets.
In the special matter Of the alleged illegal
tracks the Supreme Court Of the United States
and Congress have furnished the law, and the
Commissioners are supplied with a legal de-
partment to cOnstrue the statutes and decis-
ions. II the opinion of their legal advisers
proves to be unpalatable the Commissioners
may doubt and wrangle over their powers and
duties in the matter, and succeed without diff
Guilty in leaving the awkward question to the
criminal courts or to their successors.

The New York Inauguration centennial. To
which much space is given in to-day's issue of
HE STAR, has in its preliminary and prepara-
tory stages presented comical features which
have caused the American people to laugh; but
the occasion itself will undoubtedly be impress
slyely and worthily celebrated. Mr.. Stuyyesant
Fish, as the RECONCILIATION Of I'VE centennial
people" may threaten Gov. Green, OF New
Jersey, and Mayor Grant may come into COL
IIsion with the centennial committee. and
mimic war may rage between the commit
tee and the McAllister clan, and the pub
lie is amused; but next weeks celebra-
ton will be great affair, notwithstanding.
and half million visitors will be there 10 ace
The display Of the naval parade and the centen-
NAL ball, the fruitful source Of innumerable
feuds, will give interest to Monday; the inaugu-
ration ceremony, the military procession and
the banquet and fireworks at night will charac-
terize Tuesdays proceedings; and the great in
dustrial parade will march on "Wednesday. The
immense crowd Will be a striking feature of
the show on all three days-if it doesn't rain.
Only a small proportion Of the visitors and cell
ebrating multitude will derive much solid in
struction from the occasion to mingle with
their entertainment, but that will not be the
iaul' " tAe newspapers anu magazines.
New YOrk's streets are so narrow and insult
able for great professions, even after the clear
ing away Of the poles and concealing network
Of overhead wires, that the parade features OF
the celebration will lose much OF the effect
which could be secured in the march up a
broad smooth thoroughfare like Pennsylvania
avenue in this city, on which neither paraders
nor spectators would be unduly crowded; but
In spite Of such drawbacks the celebration
promises notable display, worthy Of the en-
ersy and enterprise of the commercial metrop-
oils Of the republic.

Fortunately for himself and for the country,
the Vice-President escaped with only shaking
up from the railway accident at Baltimore in
which his train was concerned. The risk to
which he was exposed recalled with startling
vividness the death of Mr. Hendricks at SINH
lar stage Of his career, and every citizen proba-
bly, breathed freer for the thought that there is
now definite and generally satisfactory line Of
succession established by law to save the gov
eminent from the embarrassments that used to
threaten it in certain emergencies.

PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Governor Foraker Is anxious to take a long
rest before he begins the practice Of law af-
ter his term Of governorship expires. He
contemplates trip TO Europe.
The Comte de Paris has evidently conclud-
ed to have to spend the rest Of his days In
England, for he has taken long lease Of
that superb example Of English rural pal
aces, Stowe House, at Buckingham, and will
begin at once refurnishiug 1t. ~
The Washington Star tells how Mr.. Reed
first became famous thus: "How Tom Reed
awoke one day, or rather read the newspa-
pers one morning. to find himself famous. Is
pretty generally known. Eighteen words
did 1t. Not long after having taken his seat
In Congress, he was making a little speech
when some member interrupted him with
an annoying question. Reed answered him,
then in his high nasal tones drawled out
"And now having embalmed that fly In the
liquid amber Of my remarks, / viii 20 on
again." This shaft Of wit hit the newspa-
Reeds name was a familiar one throughout
the country"
The poet Whittier has requested that the
following announcement be printed in the
newspapers: "The SD anniversary Of Mr..
Whi;tier's birth Is near at hand. and doubt
less many friends. as heretofore, will wish
to visit him on the occasion. In the delicate
condition of his health 1t is to be hoped that
the day will pass as quietly as possible. No
one more heartily enjoys the presence Of his
friends, and he would be glad to welcome
them all, but he is scarcely able to bear the
excitement Of large company however
pleasurable IL would be under other clrcum-
stances. For the same reason the many let
ters and tokens Of regard which reach him,
he may not be able to answer as he could
wish, but the writers may be sure that their
kind remembrances are gratefully appreci-
