EAGLE PASS, Tex, Jan. ia prominent
and intelligent Mexican, who Is visiting in
Eagle Pass, in answer to inquiries regard
ing his country and the gravity of the
Cara affair, said: 1T amounts to nothing,
and no real attention is paid TO the matter"
What are the prospects of the Clerical
party again coming into powerp
None; absolutely none. especially
through violent measures. In 1857, when
they had control of the government, and
had the army to back them, they were
oyerthrown."
"Does the Church party still entertain
views of restoring ecclesiastical power
in Mexico and re-estabiishing the Catholic
religion as the religion of the statep
''1hey still cling to the hope. but It 10 alb
surdity and Is not seriously considered by
the reform party of Mexico"
What is the disposition of the clergy re-
garding the present condition OF political
affairs in Mexlcop
There is continual disposition mani
tested upon the part Of the clergy to over
ride law and ignore it, particularly the law
governing civil marriages, which ID re-
peatedly violated. It is a fact that the aim

''what has been the policy of the Masonic
fraternity IN Mexieo"
"Tho Masons of Mexico are liberals and
in favor of liberal ideas of civil and re-
ligieus liberty. 1t is not Masons who are
"a peculiar brood In Mexico. but the
priests who persist in continually yiolat-
ing the law. The advancement and prog
ress of Mexico to its present gratifying
condition may be largely attributed to the
influence of Masonry under the wise
leadership of President Diaz. head of the
order In Mexico"
What are the facts regarding the drought
and consequent suffering among the people
reported to exist In portions of Coahuila
and DurangoW
"The country has been without rain for
three years, and as natural consequence
affairs are in bad condition. Owners of
haciendas have been compelled to disch arge
their help. and thus have thrown "a great
many people out of employment who
depend upon their daily labor for support.
Still the government is taking the matter
in hand and retailing out to the destitute
corn at actual cost. 1t has also taken steps
TO relieve the suffering by appropriating
funds TO secure the necessaries of life for
those who are unable to pay for
them. The hope of the country is
for rain, and until il comes labor must
remain idle and unemployed. With good
rams the conditions would at once be
changed for the better. The farmers would
resume their work, and all would have the
opportunity to earn their bread. There
are at present some thirty OF forty thousand
idle men in the surrounding districts. who
must remain idle until the coming rains.
and while the railroad under construction
is giving employment TO eight hundred or
thousand. the number Is etill great who
must fail TO secure employment even at
price which would enable them 10 purchase
the bare necessaries of life. The drought
of 1877 was as severe the present one.
aud the country quickly recovered from its
effects, and will do 90 again."

Dreams: A Century of Sonnets,' by
Charles Leonard Moore, privately printed
at Philadelphia in 1888. Without the least
indecision claim for it the serious atten-

one thing which most exasperates the
STUDENT OF recent poetry, it is the absence
OF thought. There is no such lack in this
Century of Sonnets." Here is distinct

who teebly chirp in the hospita ble little
bird-houses left in the magazines at the

that Mr.. Moore has not published these
sonnetS. Private circulation gives no
chance for large critical judgment. His
reasons for choosing to avoid the larger
public do not know. OF this, however,
l am quite sure: that there is no pub

pleasure work of genius has given me,

is rare thing to fall upon, and few of the

One of the poems referred to is as fol-
lows:

Walked and won only by thy slight allure,
know that thy footstep seals those founts

That else were free, that else were full and
Thou hast Life's keys, and dost command sue
But all thy gain is present weariness
And the gods laughter from their unscaled

Go, harlot with thy faces of regard,

Honor and splendor in my heart abide;

1T is quite likely that Gladstone will
now be able to command small major
ity in the Commons, one that may be
able to force Salisbury into resigning the
Premiership, and result in the calling of
Gladstone to form Cabinet. But he has
not such cohesive and friendly major
ity under his hand as will enable him to
dictate all terms. 1t is certain, for in
stance, that in clash with the Lords on
any Irish bill the Queen viii side with
the upper house, and will take positive
position against Gladstone and suggest to
him retiracy and that some of the ele-
ments in his majority will turn
against him. On the other hand, the
Gladstonians have given it out that if the
Lords prove an obstacle to the Liberal
schemes, that party viii take up and push
the movement for the abolition Of the
House of Lords. But when it comes to
that, considerable Liberal element
would desert the party on that PROPOSE
tion, and though the party would gain

expanding in England, the aristocratic
traditions are deep-seated and by no

of time the House of Lords will, in all
probability, be abandoned, but that such

CYRUS w. FIELD.

The death Of Cyrus w. Field is an
nounced. There is thus removed from
the stage OF human activity an American
OF great prominence, one who played a
most important part in the history of his
country. Cyrus West Field was born in
Massachusetts in 1919. at fifteen he was
working in the store of A. T. Stewart,
New York: at twenty-one he was estab-
lished in promising business as paper
maker, and in ten or twelve years tim Q
he made it a most valuable business.
In 1853 he spent half year in South
American travel, and shortly after the
idea was suggested to him by his brother
Mathew oflaying telegraph line inside
of wire cable across the Atlantic Ocean.
Mr.. Field at once resolved to realize the
idea and presented the matter to such
pioneer capitalists as Peter Cooper, Moses
Taylor, Marshal O. Roberts, Chandler
White and others, and the result was the
formation of company to inaugurate
Field, whose executive capacity was
recognized as mastery. He went to
England and interested capital in the
cable, invested all of his own fortune in
the company, and after delays, obstacles
innumerable and hindrances that would
have discouraged a less resolute and far
seeing man, he completed the laying of
the cable in 1858, but it worked well for a
few weeks only.
The civil war came on and absorbed at
tention, but Mr.. Field never lost sight of
his work or ceased to struggle for it. He
labored with fxity of purpose and in
domitable will that excited admiration
on both sides of the water, and secured
him another success, the cable being a
second time laid in 1866, but it parted in
midocean. Another year of patient labor
intervened, and in 1866 the link was COM
pleted, and has not since been broken,
and the old and new world have thus for
twenty-six years been united telegraph
ically.
High honors were visited upon Mr..
Field for his achievement, in his own
country and in England, and in France
he was given also tokens of national
esteem.
In the later years of his life he was
promoter of elevated railways, an active
commercial leader, cosmopolitan in the
breadth of the schemes he grasped re-
lated to all the world. and had not his
health failed there is little doubt that he
would have been foremost in spanning
the Pacific Ocean with telegraphic
cable, touching at the Sandwich Islands,
and relating California to the Orient by
wire. This scheme he conceived as early
as 1880, and for it few years later he OBJ
tained valuable concessions from the Ha-
waiian Government.
Mr.. Field was the typical, energetic
American, resolute, courageous, almost
measureless in his grasp of great problems
of construction, of remarkable executive
ability, and absolutely untiring in what
ever he put his hand to. He placed sys-
tematic ocean cable telegraphy to the
credit Of the American Nation, and for that
alone his name will live fadeless in
American history.

THE SAME OLD STORY.
The St. Louis Globe Democrat saw

The st. Louis Globe Democrat says:
A stranger unaccustomed to the extrava-
gances of our politics would suppose from
reading the platform adopted and the speeches
delivered at Chicago that the country was
drifting rapidly to everlasting ruin. The Re
publican party is charged with having under
mined mine, =. the Liberties Of the people and plum
dered the industries of the land to the point of
practical beggary. There is nothing lacking
in the enumeration of evils and sufferings TO
make complete picture Of national distress
and humiliation. All classes are represented
to be on their knees praying for deliverance
from the mischievous rule of an organization
that has been kept in power by their votes for
a longer period than any other in our history
But it has been so in every campaign
for years. The same charges, varying
only in methods employed to express
them; the same dismal and croaking
voicing of fear have been the stock
in trade of the platform makers. But
what are the facts. Lincoln, Grant,
Hayes, Garfield, Arthur, Harrison,
representing the party, have given
the country safe, dignified and pro-
gressive administrations. Under the
party-which has not been free from
error and mistaken policy-the nation has
grown in strength amazingly, increased
in population, enlarged in industry,
augmented in the number Of States,
settled waste places, gridironed its terri
tory with railroads, developed latent re-
sources, risen to a better moral plane.

national policies and internal affairs
than ever before. 1t is a reading and
thinking era, in which the old-time claim
by one party that it alone represents
patriotic sentiment, true economy and
essential spirit of liberties, and the charge
that its opponent is representative of all
evil and diabolism, counts for nothing,
and excites only the derision of sensible
people.
