lie may be, for, as has been stated here,
DiaZ, against whom Cara declares him
self to be arrayed, once endeavOred to
make political capital and Roadway
through the aid of one who was admit
edly a brigand, the hero of hundred
outrageS and crimes, and compared to
whom CatarinO Cara. taking into con

record, is fairly entitled to the benefit
of the doubt which distinguishes him

gain for the object of pelf alone. His
tory repeats itself, and the now deSpiSed
hlibuster of the Rio Grande may
prove in the finale to have been the po-
tent instrument of real revolution and
reform.
The most formidable rival Diaz pos
sesSes in the land of the Aztecs is Con
zalez, an eX-president and minister of
war under DiaZ, and it seems quite
within the bounds of possibility that

term of office, which will expire in
November next. He is an illustration
of the great Napoleon's aphorism. that
in politics there is a wide gulf between
promises and performances. Himself
the preacher OF the theory that 10
president of republic should ever be-
come his own successor, he has three
times accepted office, and there is little
indication of his ever vacating the pres
ldency as long as he lives and retains
his present vast influence. Mexico has
prospered wonderfully under Diaz, and
while his absolutism is the handspring
of whatever unpopularity he suffers
from, it may be questioned as to whether
ain iron hand is not needed in the chief
magistrate of such country Yet many
of his actions call for the severest crit
lcism. Suppression of press freedom
is anomalous in republic, and the out
rageous policy of Diaz in dealing with
the Mexican press cannot be defended.
Editors rash enough to oppose him have
actually been executed without even
the pretense of legal trial.
The laws in force governing the army
might be appropriate in Russia, but in
Mexico lhey are out Of place. to put it
mildly. Under DiaX a Mexican army

Sidered a badge of servitude; he is
either an Obedient puppet in the hands
of DlaZ or else candidate for the at
tentlons of firing party. Again, the
anti-clerical laws. of which Diaz is the
sponsor. complete the record of sup
preston of the forces of opinion repre-
Sented by the press, the army and the
church. The impressing into military
service of cOnvlctS who receive the
alternative of entering either jail or
the army has naturally done much to
lower the status of the latter and to
destroy that esprit de corps which is an
essential part of every efficient national
force. The story of the colonel who,
becoming disatfected with the policy of
the DiaZ party. decided to resign his
commission to enter political life, and
who was waylaid bv a party of soldiers
and shot at the inStigatiOn of the presi-
debt. though often told, has never been
disyroyed.
And yet, to some extent, President
Diaz is popular. National songs have
been dedicated to him, and when lie
was assuming Office in 1887 the Arch
bishop. of Mexico advised che people to
welcome his Inauguration. The arch
bishop. however; may have been guided
by policy in the latter instance.
Diaz. no doubt, has his virtues and re-
deeming features. Malappropriation
of public moneys hgs never been
charged to his administration, and the
absence of corruption under demo-
cratic form of government is certainly
not the invariable rule.
In some respects Diaz may he COM

determined to prolong their power, and
we're each equally distinguished for
personal integrity.
The one SOftening feature of the long
continued supremacy of Diaz in Mexico
is the benign and charming personality
of his present wife. The story of her
meeting with and marriage to her hus-
band is something of romance. Her
father, Senior Rubio, was an ardent sup
porter of eX-President Lerdo. During
the fight between Lerdo and Diaz, RubiO
and the latter were bitterly opposed.
They afterwards met at ball in the
American legation. and were brought
together by Minister Foster and his
wife. 1t was only social Introduction,
but was the starting point of sincere
friendship, during which Diaz and the
beautiful daughter of RuDio saw much
of each other and a marriage resulted.

ment in politics of two men who were
traditional foes, and also the connection
of their families through matrimony.

Garza business than appears on the

From one point of view POrfirio DiaZ

His father was a small country inn
keeper in the province of Oaxaca.
Nature. however, had gifted Diaz with
the physical and mental qualities that
are calculated to bring their owner for

being handsome and his mind broad

gree. From boyhood he displayed great
love for things military. dressing him

virgins, who stare at him from window

what he had sacrificed to do penance
for the sins of youth.
Suddenly the air quavers with pro-
longed, doieful howl, such as 4 dog de-
livers when lost or listening to the toll
ing of bell. 1t is the wall of a hound.
The mournful brute is in a field few
rods away, sitting upon his launches,
with his nose pointed high in the air.
His highness is first to investigate this
strange canine proceeding. Lying close
beside the hound, face downward and
moaning deeply, is Lisette.
He takes the paper that is shut tightly
in her small, clinched hands. thrust it
into his pocket, lifts her in his arms and
carries her home.
A physician Is summoned and the
wretchedly aimed knife drawn from her
breast. They almost despair of stop

No, his martyrdom has not mscarried.
Lisette lives.
In the days that follow Little Lisette
wonders why the Man of the Cloth kisses
her mamma and herself so often and so
tenderly and why Mamma Lisette and
the Man of the Cloth are no longer sad,
although mamma is so sick and must
lie so very still. Perhaps we may I'M
derstand If we glance over his shoulder
as lie reads, for the hundrdeth time, the
letter taken from Lisette's had as he
picked her up from the field that night.
1t reads:

word of love from your lips before / die?
But cannot. That and leaving my pre-
cious Little Lisette. are the only hard things
about dying-for love you SO much that it
is easy for Inc to die that you may never have
to blush because OF my presence at your
side. If what have done for Little Lisette's
sake is wrong may god forgive me, and for
his sake and for pity of me do not let it set
your heart against the child. Good by for
ever! LIsETTE:
The marriage kisses which his high
ness could not give his bride at the mar
riage are scattered through their we'd
ded life. LiSette's passionate love for
her husband and her native intelligence
and social tact enabled her to put far
behind her the things of her youth, and
many noble duke has less occasion to
be proud of hs'wife and child than his
