HE WANTS IT AGAIN.

II seems that President Diaz wants
fourth term. He viii probably get IL: in
fact IL would be almost impossible now 10
put him out. Diaz is practically as much OF
a dictator as Mexico has ever had. The only
difference between him and some of his
predecessors Is that he rules according TO
enlightened methods. He loves power.
and. while he has the welfare of the
Mexican republic az heart. he also has
made Il solemn duty first of all to look
after number one
Diaz has been compelled 10 repeal all
sorts of statutes and amend the eonstitu-
ton in order 10 keep in power, but he has
succeeded in doing 1t and nobody has been
the loser. The constitution originally pre-
seribed that the president should be eiigi-
bic for but one term. but in 1857 Diaz ste
ceeded I'm getting this amended. has held
Office ever since and will probably remain
at the head of the republic until he dies.
There is no power in Mexico now that can
remove him n he cares TO continue in
Office as president. He has made an ex-
cellcnt ruler. his country has prospered
under his administration and il can make
no mistake I'm retaining him in Office. The
only danger in allowing him such lease
OF power Is that It makes precedent
which will be followed by other men who
are not so enlightened, fair minded and
patriotic as Diaz has shown himself to be.

The Peitier Family.
Aberdeen Recorder.


Seattle paper has declared war against
the House of the Good Shepherd. Catho-
lie institution in that city for the reforma-
ton OF females who have gone astray. A
feature Of this war is an expose of al
legged criminal practices in connection with
the management of that institution. The
Seattle paper bases its statements laryely
upon the af.idavits of a 19-year-old girl
named Minnie Peltier who, with her three
sisters, Lizzie, aged IS: Julia, aged is.
ana little one of years, are. or were,
inmates of that reformatory. The state.
ment of the older girl brings out the fact
that these are the same Peltiers who lived

OF abode was on the plank road. Just be-

Peltier took his daughter Lizzie, then not
over ID years old, and placed her in a
house OF prostitution here. where she re-
NAMED for some time and then left town.
Early in 1894 the Peltier house was burn

SEATTLE, THURSDAY. AUG. &c.
COAST DEFENsEs.

Seattle has done considerable toward Sc
curing coast defenses. not only for her
own protection. but along the entire
Sound. She has. 1t is true. urged that II
an army pos. IL to be established It should
be at Seattle. where defenses would be a
protection not only TO this city, but In
great measure to Tacoma. because no war
vessel could pass here. had We good foru-
f,cations and ordnance, and so on TO Ia
coma.
The latter city has. however, not been
over-scrupuious. and has made efforts TO
secure an advantage which would be en-
tirely her own. and leave Seattle abso-
lutely withou. protection. There Is not
much reason to believe that Tacoma sers-
ousIy expects that anything SO preposter-
Gus would be done as 10 fortify that place.
leaving Seattle exposed. but by making a
fight for 1t. congress and the war depart
ment would be harassed and neither city
would get anything. 1t would answer Ia
coma's purpose TO deprive Seattle of the
advantage.
Rarely does word appear In these
Il
dents connected with the visit of Secretary
Lamont and Gen. Schofeld cannot be
passed over. II Is not the people OF the
city ut large who do the plotting. but GER
tain interests which are busily engaged
looting Tacoma itself when no common
victim is available.
We need expect very little from the
present administration. not because of any
lack OF interest. but for lack of available
funds. Secretary Lamont OH his return
to Washington city said that to man mod
ern guns on eur coast line and place our
against an attack will require a force OF
trained artillorists equal to the present
strength OF The United States army
Nevertheless he was particularly en-
phatic in urging the need OF some protec-
ton for The Sound cities. He said:
1.-THE condition of the Pacific coas:
fortifeations is lsmentable. Puget sound
is wholly unprotected. not gun mount
being in position. ANY scheme of defense
for Puget sound would require at least
Too modern guns. such as are now being
mounted AT New York and Boston. and
the proper care Of that number OF cannon
would require the presence of At least two
regiments OF artillery. Immediately ad-
taeent to Puget sound IS an English cs-
tahishment at Victoria. where are located
dry docks and modern fortiHcatlons and
guns. aud these are maintained by a
strone naval force"
All officers who have visited the Sound
agree with the secretary. and on the re-
turn Of better conditions the Sound may
be sure Of getting at least a partial sys-
tenn OF coast defenses. We shall have to
be unremitting In our efforts. however.
and be particularly alert as 20 the influ-
ences which viii be exerted to retard the
work.
