The moon was up but he didn't see
The little dog unier the wagon.
Spot ne'er barked and Spot neer whined,
But Qu.cSly caught ihe thict behind:
He dragged INN down IN he miro and dirt
Then held him fast on the iniry ground;
The robber uttered not sound
While his hands and feet the farmer bound,
Aud tumbled HIM into tho wagon.

The farmers money, the farmers wife:
And now y hero grand and gay,

What is the need for Mexico to maintain
an army greater than that OF the Uni
States2 There 10 not any need whatever; and
hence we are pleased to learn that the Gov.
eminent. in pursuing It's policy of economy,
has determined to reduce the size OF the army
at once The internal peace OF the country
has been but slightly disturbed for many
years: 1t is not in danger from any Of the re-
publcs lying to the south. or from the United
States. or from any other power. An army of
10000 men ought to be all-suificient for Mexi-
co. The Government should not waste money
In keeping up an army larger than that Tho
maintenance OF big military esta blish m ont In
the country is not conducive to the safety OF
its republican institutions There have been
too many military adventures In Mexico since
the expulsion OF Spanish royalty.
The fact that some OF the regime ts have fol-
lowed the patriotic example Of the officehold-
ers In Offering to submit to a reduction OF their
pay. ought not to affect the Governments
policy OF army reduction. These regiments
have certainly given evidence that they pos
sess rare measure OF pnbli, spirit; but they
will give still more satisfactory evidence OF
that spirit By the prompt and cheerful accept
ance OF an order for their disba q msnt thus
relieving the Government from tho expense
OF keeping them. II the Congress which
meets in September gives support to Presi-
dent DIAzS policy OF reducing the army. tho
burdens OF the people OF Mexico will be light
onod and tho treasury strengthened.

Federal interference In local elections was
vigorously denounced In the Chicago plat
form, Federal control Of elections was
described as fraught with dangers scarcely
less omentous than would result from
revolution practically establishing mon
srchy on the ruins Of the republic" The
platform puts this issue ahead Of all other
questions OF Democratic policy or duty.
The Force bill Is defeated. but the laws
under which the DAvENPoRTs and JAco-
BUSES operate are still in existence. The
difference between these laws and the de-
feated Force bill Is a difference OF degree,
not OF kind.
For years the repeal OF the obnoxious
partisan legislation inflicted upon tho coun-
try by the Republican party in Its days OF
unbridled power, has been the purpose and
hope OF the Democracy. The time has never
yet come when the party OF home rule
could carry out its purpose.
That time will come on Aug. Z. To let
the occasion go by on the plea OF more i'm
pcrtant business. or to postpone until next
winter or next year the rectification Of this
twenty-five years old wrong. would be
folly uncomfortable. and indifference scarce
ly less than criminal on the part OF the
Democracy's leaders.
The bill for the repeal Of the Federal cleo
ton laws will not interfere with any meas
ure for financial relief. Such bill should
make Its appearance in the House or the
Senate at the very beginning of the extra
session. and it should have Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDS signature before Congress adiourns.
