PUT AWAY FOR THE SUMMER

Eight Of the fifteen dining cars owned
by the Atchison, which are in service on
the California and Chicago limited trains
Nos. 8 and 4, are being stripped of their
equipment in Chicago, preparatory to
storing during the summer. The cars Will
probably be brought to Topeka and stored
In the car shops at this point.
The equipment Of the eight cars, consist
ing of chairs, table linen, silverware and
cooking utensils, is estimated to be- worth
10000. 1t was at first decided to store the
equipment in the Harvey cold storage
plant at Chicago, but it Is now the inten-
tion to also bring this to Topeka and place
it in the s:orehouse in charge of Store.
keeper Hilton.
Ii the plan of again establishing the lin
tied train service during the winter Is car
ried out, the cars will be re-itted early in
the fall. They will probably be repaired
and %re-painted while in the shops during
the summer.

MExiCo'S PRESIDENT.

Diaz Ranks With the Moat Capable Statos-
men OF tbs Time.
In the gift OF true leadership, OF Or
ganizing capacity, of far-sighted, pa
triotic and sagacious direction OF
country's policy, Porario Diaz ranks
with the great rulers OF the country.
As monarch Of any European great
power, he would undoubtedly make a
grand name for himself in history. But
his work in Mexico to-day is probably
of more value to the world than any
thing q man of his character and traits
might accomplish elsewhere. For he
has brought order and prosperity to n
splendid country, that for nearlya CEN
fury had been in chronic state OF tur-
moil, and has given II an honored place
In the family OF nations, with people
started securely on the way Of progress.
To our own century his work is also
Of value that has MS yet hardly begun
to be appreciated. 1t is OF immense
service to have q peaceable and pros
porous nation developed In the beauti-
full portion of our continent that adj
joins us to the southwark. The natu-
raj resources Of Mexico have hardly
yet begun to be realized. What has
been done in California under the stars
and stripes we may look to see done
there under the friendly flag Of .
neighboring republic, for Mexico has
the materials for the making of sew
eral CALIFORNIA; The opportunities
for profitable commercial intercourse
with such a country are practically
boundless, and the work of Gen. Diaz
Is assuring us n steady development of
their possibilities.
The peculiar way In which the prac-
teal basis of government differs from
the theoretical In q country like Mex
leo has made many friends of repub-
lican institutions perhaps unduly
harsh in their criticisms OF methods
and results there prevalent and ar
rived at Whatever the form Of gov
ernment people may possess, its APP
plication in practice must conform to
the character Of that people, and the
Mexicans, as n nationality, are clearly
not yet fitted for republican govern
ment, as we understand It But, IL
may be doubted II, after all, the actual
government Of Mexico is not really rs
genuinely republican as that Of some
Of our own ststes-for instance, the
great commonwealth Of Pennsylvania,
which. TO all intents and purposes, has
for years been under q form Of dicta-
torship in which the pretense Of free
institutions has been . cloak for .
steady violation, defiance and abuse Of
their principles Public sentiment Is
something that has TO be reckoued
with In Mexico Of to-day, as In Penn
sylvania-
The ideals Of Gen. Diaz are genuinely
republican. like those Of the lamented
end nQble-hearted Dom Pedro. Of

BRAZIL HIS aim is to make MS coun-
try truly free, rs we'll rs materially
prosperous, but he sees that strong
government and an intelligent people
are necessary preliminaries TO free
government Il In a great advance
that In q country like Mexico
all reverence for monarchical In
stitutions has been destroyed.
The ground Is thus better prepared
for new edifice, and the sentiment OF
repu blicanism, so universally cher
ished In that country as an ideal, how.
ever imperfectly realized, furnishes q
strong vantage ground for true prog
ress. There Is much in q name, and
Diaz, as president, has great ad-
vantage over the position that was
held by Dom Pedro rs emperor, In
guiding his country toward its destined
place rs o self-governing nation. Mex
leo has been rich In statesmen OF a
high order. President Juarez was
pronounced by Secretary Seward one
Of the greatest men of his century.
II Is fortunate for Mexico that Diaz
has been so long at the head Of affairs,
and that under his administrations u
wholly new economic order should
have been brought about. As in Japan,
there has been wonderful transition
from MEDIEVAL to modern conditions
within n quarter of century. The
people have forgotten the habit Of rev.
olution and domestic turbulence, aud
for the first time since their indie
pendencc have experienced the bless
ings OF internal tranquility. Diaz will
doubtless remain Mt the head OF the
country while he lives and retains his
present wonderful individual and ad-
ministrativc vigor. And when he re-
signs the helm it is likely that some
other capable hand will continue his
work. We may feel certain that the
Mexico of the twentieth century will
continue In the course laid out in the
last quarter of the nineteenth. Boston
