SHUT THE DOOR.
Stockton Independent

The American laborer has been
wronged, deeply wronged; the body poll
tic has been detiled, and the peace of the
country greatly disturbed by the practi-
cally unchecked deluge Of laborors who
are unfit to become citizens. The laborer
who feels the wrong makes the great mis-
take of violently contending with the
effect, and only ieebly opposing the cause.
This feebleness is caused by the presence
among the organized laborers of SO many
of the i'm poried class who, while profess
ing to believe this country TO be sunk TO
the depths OF misery, are all the time try
ing to induce and aid more of their fell
lows to come here and share their misery.

No time should be lost in securing the

tanning how much money has been spent
on the roads in the last ten years, the
methods in which it has been spent, and
informing our Supervisors how money
may be more profitably spent than it has
been IN the past. . : The whole sys-

is bad and conducive to extravaganza and
iobbery, but that cannot be bettered until
the Legislature changes it. The method
of expanding the money in this county

it is of no use for city to have practi-

something is done toward utilizing it for
manufacturing purposes. 1t is nice
enough to know that when the inaniact-
urers come along they will find the
power all ready for them to use, but it
would be nicer yet to know that the man
utacturers were already on the ground
and applying the power to their use.
Sacramento feels satisfied, now the
power has reached her city limits and is
running her street cars, but unless the
merchants and business men get move
on and by organizing can secure manu-
featuring plants that will help build up
that city and take 1t out OF the hands of

War the Absorbing Topic OF Conversation
In tho Mexican Capital.

War the Absorbing Topic of Conversation
In tho Mexican Capital.
Cry OF MEXICO, Jan. l5.-There Is
great excitement here, and nothing Ia
heard on the streets and in the ne wspa-
pers but war talk.
A meeting OF the cabinet has been
called. It is thought war will de de-
clared. Mexico, 1t is said, has $1,000
men on the Guatemalar frontier ready
for action.
The official communication OF Guato-
mala to the demands Of Mexico over
the international boundary dispute was
delivered to the national palace this
morning. It 10 very voluminous and
covers many pages OF closeiy.wri,tsn
matter. lts contents will be made
known at tho meeting OF tho cabinet.
1t Is geneally understood that its i'm.
port Is the same as indicated 10 the ,ele-
gram received from Mexican Minister
Godoy At the time it was delivered to
him by the Guatemalan government.
lts tone is evasi1e and negative. and the
foreign department said that the decla-
ration Of Merico's position may bs ex.
pected inside OF four or five days, by
which time the reply OF Guatamala will
have been considered in all it's bearings.
While not showing any heat over
the reply OF Guasomala, the Mexican
authoritie8 hold firm as ever to their
position, and It Ia very generally UNDER
stood that early next week an ultima
tum will be sent 10 Guatemala BY tho
corvette Zaragosa. which will at once
declare war on that republic unless it
accepts the demands OF Mexico in every
particular. In any event, the Iaragosa,
1t is expected. will bear q note to Minis
ter Godoy in%structing him to request
his passports from Guatemala. Should
Its answer be negative. no will be pro-
tected and landed on Mexican soil by
the corvette, which will then be detailed
for the transportation OF troops and the
munitions Of war.
The war department in this capital is
NIL activity. Tho entire office forces
arc working oyer.hours and unusual
animation is seen on every hand. The
number OF troops already O n tho
frontier is $1,000, and several brieades
are in readiness to DO pushed to tho
front at a days notice. Throughout
the republic the samo conditions are
noted and there lie no doubt that Mexico
could put SO. 1000 men on tho Gua.emalan
frontier within a week or ton days.
Considerable feeling is manifested in
this city over the visit to the national
arms factory oil q member Of tho Gnate.
malan legation in company with the
Italian minister. Tho parties appeared
at the factory without previously an
%nouncing their intention OF making tho
visit. Being without instructions. the
commander OF the factory t%elephonod
to headquarters for information. Tho
reply was that under existing circuin-
stances it would DO inconvenient that
the diplomats be given admission, and
while the commander was profuae in
his apologies the visitors had to go
away as ignorant as they came in re.
gard to tho operations Of Mexico's big
establishment and tho figure il might
cut in the near iuturo.
