The Mexican Governments New Policy

[By Telegraph to the Evening Journall
CITY or MEXICO, Aug. 3.-Various
rumors regarding the financial policy of
the government have been in circulation
recently, to the effect that sweeping
economies were being introduced. While
il is true that the government is looping

on TO maintain at the present level of
efficiency every branch of the public
service, and to carry forward to com
pletion all the great public works now

The interest ON the debt held at home
and in Europe will be met with entire
punctuality, as the savings now being
made will overcome the increased cost OF
placing gold for interest abroad.

JUST COMMON FOLKS.

A hundred humble songsters trill
The notes that to their lays belong,
Where Just ono nightingale might fin
The place with its transccndant song.
And thus Fame comes. and with its smile
a soul with lasting greatness cloaks,
And leaves a thousand else the while
To be for aye just common folks.
If only sweetest bells were rung,
How we would miss the minor chimes;
II only grandest poets sung
rhere'd be no humble little rhymes.
Tho modest, clinglng vines add grace
Unto the forests giant oaks,
And mid earth's mighty is a place
To people with just common folks.
Not they the warriors who shall win
Upon n battlefield name
To sound above the awful din;
Not theirs the painters deathless fame,
Nor theirs the poets muse that brings
The rhythmic Gift his soul invOkcs;
Theirs but TO do the simple things
That duty gives just common folks.
They are the multitudes Of earth
And minglc ever in the crowd.
Elhowinp those Of equal birth,
Where none because Of caste is proud.
Bound hy the mcshcs OF "a fate
That sometime a decree revokes;
Above the lowly, meath the great,
Are millions Of such common folks.
Fate has not lifted them above
The level OF the human plain;
They share with men a brother love,
In touch with pleasure and with pain.
One great. far-reaching brotherhood
With common burdens, common yokes,
And common wrongs and common good,
Gods army Of just common folks.

REFERRING TO the malign influences
which controlled the early history of
New York and entailed the worst water
front imaginable and covered that with
modern shells, which are disgrace to
civilization and inconvenient and made
quate for commerce. William Nelson
Black writing in the Engineering Maya
zine, says:
But after all, this is not 80 much a
commercial question as a question of con
struction and of local interests. Com
merce viii take care of itself by leaving
the city as fast as it can pull up its roots
and get away. But the city remains all
the more Inundated and dishonored by
/ the fact that she has thrown her oppor-
tunities away. There seems TO be but
one alternative for New York and it is
here. The political engineer must step
aside, and let the constructive engineer
and the architect enter. The city has ir-
remediably forfeited some Of her com
mercial rights, but she has still the right
to check as far as possible the hegira of
commerce from her piers, and to protect
herself against the coming of total
eclipse.
II can be readily seen that Mr. Black
is theorist, not practical politician.
He has the notion that the way TO stimu-
late commerce is to give it facilities
That is not the Mckinley idea He be
lieves the way to stimulate trade is tC
restrict and Cypress trade. To carry
that grand conception Of small
oneidead man from the backwoods o.
Ohio politics into effect, the approaches
TO New York might be worse, the woodeI
/ piers slight rot, for then, like tn
Chinese we could keep our ports closeS
1 and hold our wealth at home. Mr. Blacl
is evidently a scholar, perhaps a scien
n tifc engineer who has not learned tn
Z practical plan of promoting prosperit,
p by restricting the means Of prosperit,
commerce and trade. 1t is pity tina
