CRY OF MExIco, Feb 1.-The supreme
court of military justice has ordered the
minister Of war to have Colonel Herman
dez brought here to hear his appeal.
A prominent official here says concern
ing the financial situation: 1.-The bad
business from which the country has been
suffering is disappearing. The drouth
which prevailed in a few states did not
have so serious an effect on revenues as
was feared. With good management the
coming year will be as productive as the
last. y

Creators of Anarchy.

Do you want to know what creates anarchism
and encourages or even makes possible the mob
spirit of strikers? 1t is the current conversation
of our half thinkers. The common sense of the
American people has not come to the front on
our great economic questions. Very naturally
this is so because the relations of labor to capital
have had new complications arising from the
development of machinery. Three-fourths of all
that is now claSsed as manufactures was a little
more than half a century ago classed as farming.
The farmer or land owner made hundred things
that now he has to buy of the factOries-clOthes,
household utensils, articles of food. This fac
tory and shop business, and its relations to our
lives and property interests we do not see quite
through. Our thinking is largely sympathetic
and based on the splendid sentiment of equality
We inStinctively deteSt the arrangement whereby
a few control millions and the masses only pos
seSS hundreds. But we have to fully comprehend
that this is so owing to our new and seperate
methods of manufacture. The old system dis
tributed manufacture and also capital. The
present concentrates the doing at special centers,
and also the means of doing. Our only immedi-
ate relief is the moral one of considering capital
as trust, and not as absolute prOperty-a way
of thinking too mlennial to be general: or
system of cooperation and prOfit-sharing that
will tend to cOunterfct the concentration of CAPT
tai. The study is very complex, and our greatest
danger arises from popular discussion that is
based purely on sympathy or on passion There
is tyranny both on the side of capitalist and on
the side of the labOrer: both come short of honor
and generosity, and both are very likely to be
shOrtsighted.-St. Louis GlObe-DemOcrdt.

ROusing a Drunkard.

A drunkard was asleep in Third avenue hall
way. near Twenty-eight street. says the NeW
York San, when PatrOman Clinton, of the Thr-
ty-ffth street station, esped his prOtrudng legs.
He didn't begin to pound the rather thin sOles of
the poor fellows worn shoes. as is the custom
with the park keepers in dealing with sleeping
tramps on the benches. He reached over and
grasped the sleeper by the nose, and the fellow
was on his feet in an instant.
"YOu must have tweaked it pretty hard.'' sug-
geSted a witness of the incident.
"NOt Bit sir. he replied. 81 didn't hurt
him at all. You see, sir, barring the lungs, the
nose is the principal organ of respiration, and
the lungs, sir, wouldn't have much to do if it
wasn't for the nose. When mans asleep, and
especially when he's drunk as well, he's pretty
sure to breathe as nature intended him to, sir.
and that's through his nOse., All you have to do
then, sir, is to pinch his nose. shut off his wind
and up he comes with snort. It's good deal
more human, sir. than the bastinado, and 1 al
ways apply it, SIR
The prison mirror. [volume] (Stillwater, Minn.) 1887-1894, 1892-10-20

Most persons who are so unfortunate
as to be confined in jail, says the Boston
Herald, are generally more than willing
to come out, but there is one man in
Boston at the present time, prisoner
at the big Suffolk county institution in
Charles street, who positively refuses to
leave his present quarters.
AS the story goes, he bought suit Of
clothes for his son, agreeing to pay for
the same the sum of $75. When the
bill was presented he protested that he
was penniless, but the creditor, deem
ing him fraud, had him arrested. At
the hearing which followed he refused
to answer any of the questions put to
him, and was sent to Jail, there to re-
main until he should take the poor
debtors oath, or until his creditor should
grow tired of paying 25 cents day for
his board.
Three months have passed since that
time, and he still remains one of the
dodgers there. Time and again he has
been importuned to ask that the poor
debtors oath, which would at once free
him from his cell and the clutches of
his creditor, be administered to him,
but this step he positively refuses to
take. He says that he is contented to
remain where he is, having plenty to
eat, good place to sleep and nothing
to do but to read or write as he pleaseS,
and that the creditor will grow sick Of
paying his board before he wearies of
his boarding house.

A curious statement regarding the disaster to
the American and German war..ships in the ia
nous hurricane at Samoa on March IT, 1885, is
made by Robert Louis Stevenson in his new book
Eight Years of Trouble in Samoa 1t will be
remembered that this hurricane occurred when
the political troubles in the.isand:were at their
height, and great jealousy existed among the
several white nations represented there. In that
hurricane the three American.war,ships and the
three German war ships stationed at.Apia were
wrecked together with some fifteen merchant
vessels. The British war ship CalliOpe was the
only man-Ofwar that escaped, and she Steamed
out to sea and OutrOde the StOem. Mr.. Stevenson
says the loss of the war ships was rather polti-
cal than. a. nautical catastrophe. Under ordi-
nary circumstances,1 says. they would and
could:all.have diOut.OfithelharbOr2at the
irstsign of the hurricane. could lhave easily
escaped. But thejjeaOus and.hostile feeling bes
tween the Germans and Americans was,sO great
that neither was at all inclined to up'anchor and
steam out to certain safety leaving the other in
occupation of the harbOr. Mr.. Stevenson blames
the Germans for the whole of the H1ouble in Sa-
mOa.-Er.
