per crust" in Mexico are being sent to
the great universities iu the United
States for education, while many go to
England and a few to France and
Germany.
The Mexicans feel the superiority OF
the Americans. although they scarcely
acknowledge it to themselves. and it is
exceedingly distasteful to them to have
this matter constantly called to their at
tention as many of the i'll bred Ameri-
cans delight in doing.
Among the wealthy class of Mexicans
which includes about ten per cent. of the
population and includes all government
officials, business men and land owners,
there is very little to distinguish them in
dress and manners from the American in
our large cities.
The ninety per cent. are not con5id-
cred in anything, although Mexico is
called republic. 1t is the worst form
of despotism and President Diaz has a
power which the emperor of Russia
might envy. The president is merely
appointed by a few rich men, very much
as in the United States, only the poor do
not go through the formality of voting.
The president appoints the governors of
the different states and they the mayors
of the cities, and these officials have,
practically, the power Of life and death
over their subjects. In Mexico there is
no trial by jury and no writ Of habeas
corpus.
A man may be arrested on some sus-
picion, thrown into prison and lie there
for months without even being informed
of what he is charged. The trial against
him is sort of star chamber proceeding
and he is never even called before his
prosecutors to plead.
He is allowed no counselor. The
states attorney is supposed to have no
interest in the case further than getting
at justice, and collects the facts on which
the magistrate decides and the accused
is eventually informed of the result.
Once thsown into Jail it is almost impos-
sible to communicate with those on the
outside, and it is said that the only letter
that is sure of reaching its destination
is one addressed to the President of the
Republic.
A Mexican prison is said to be a good
place for bad men to go as the horrors
prepare them for the ideal Calvinistic
hell.
1t is said the Libby and Andersonville
prisons of rebellion fame are mot in it"
at all when compared with these Mexican
institutions of torture.
The "riff raft" population of Mexico,
which includes 100000 souls, are not at
present producers of wealth, but they are
an immense power and force, just wait
ing to be turned in the channels of in
1ustry.
When-through foreigners-irrigation
develops the fertile valleys of this coun-
Try; and manufacturing plants are estab-
ished in the various cities; when the
cad, coal, copper, gold and silver mines
are opened up, and when this vast horde
IF idle men, this almost unreasonable
energy, now wasted, is turned into pro-
1uctive channels, Mexico will forge
ahead with rapidity unexampled.

LII L aSOy l. EAAS, - du, 80, 1000
EDITOR WORLD: In southern Colorado
one first comes in contact with the Mex
leans on his way South. In New Mexico
they are seen in much of their primitive
simplicity, but it is not until one crosses
the Rio Grande and sees them in their
own country that they stand out in all
their strength and weakness.
In my recent trip into Mexico, as I
roamed about through many cities and
watched the people at their work, at their
amusements and in their idleness, 1 was
impressed with the fact that this was a
nation in its childhood, for nations, like
individuals have their periods of infancy,
childhood, vigorous manhood, old age
and decay.
1t is common instinct for the conqueror
to look with contempt on the conquered
and the conquered to hate the conquer
ors. The American troops, during the
Texas revolution, were so brilliant as to
leave even Mexican bravery in question.
For years, this people when they thought
of the vast territory they had coded to US,
have looked on us as robbers and, when
we have thought of San Jacinto and the
Alamo, of Buena Vista, Montere, and the
battles Of General Scott around the city
of Mexico, we have thought only of their
weakness and treachery.
But as the generation that took
part in these events has died out
and as a commercial spirit instead of
the martial spirit has taken pos
session of the growing generation, the
deep and intense and burning desire to
make money off of each other has forced
all questions of national pride and senti-
ment to the background, so that we have
come to look on and deal with each other
with an eye single to business.
Americans are pushing into ali parts
OF the Republic and engaging in all kinds
of enterprises to the evident approval and
satisfaction of the Mexican people who
seem ever eager to grasp the business
methods of their northern neighbofs.
