1t is somewhat difficult for Americans who
have admired the administrative ability of
President Diaz to believe that he has started
out to suppress all Mexican newspapers that
are opposed to his governmental ideas, yet ap-
parently reliable information from the City Of
Mexico is to the effect that nearly 100 journals
were compelled to suspend publication last
week because they gave expression to views
that Diaz regarded as dscordant Only a
short-sighted politician would attempt such a

only one sad thought concerning the worlds

fuence. when it was in the power Of the delin-
quent to have avoided getting drunk; that
drunkenness should be visited by more severe
penalty when the alcoholic excitement was
purposely brought about in order to strengthen
the determination TO commit the crime; that it
should be punishable with extenuation by the
magistrate when it occurs in persons of weak
intelligence, whose power Of enduring alcoholic
drinks is diminished by the inferiority of their
cerebral organization. The judge holds that
drunkenness is inexcusable in persons who
know that they cannot drink without danger.
and that there is no admissible excuse for
drunkenness unless alcoholism has produced
cerebral LESSONS, from which result a real alien
alton of mind; and such an affection would, Of
course, be treated in an asylum for the insane.

inSoluble phosphoric acid. The $40
pounds of low grade potash would give
about eight per cent. actual potash.
thus your analysis would stand about as
follows: Ammonia eight and one-third
per cent, insoluble phosphoric acid seven
per cent. and actual potash eight per
cent. For economy and well developed
wood you have about twice the amount
of ammonia that should be used from
Nitrate of Soda. If you use all bone for
your source of ammonia you are putting
in the soil and paying for more phos-
phoric aci d than the tree needs.
