OUR SISTER REPUBLIC.

Mexico has enjoyed such number OF
wears of prosperity and Of real progress
in the absence of its old-time and fire.
ouent revolutions that the world has
come to look upon il as firmly estab-
Iished nation, as one Of the great re-
publics of the world. But there are
wise men in Mexico who are very ap-
prehensive of the future. They are men
who know the Mexican people. Diaz
has been successful beyond expectation,
but there is no other Diaz in Mexico,
and he holds an elective Office. But un-
der Diaz Mexico is not republic in
the sense that the people of the United
States understand it. He is an execu-
tive elected supposedly by popular
voice, but his rule has always. been es-
sentially autocratic. He is a strong
man who has been upheld and sustain
ed by a strong individual force though
not a large one. In truth, Diaz has
never been elected by free choice OF
the people. The elections in Mexico are
very largely farcical. Only a handful
of people go to the polls and the govern
ment does the counting. If General
Diaz should die or conclude to quit the
presidency, what then? What would be
the outcome of the strife for the success
sion? Should the masses demand the
right to vote and have their votes count
ed what sort of president would they
choose?
A story is now afloat in Mexico which
makes these questions timely. 1t Is
said that President Diaz. who has
amassed a great fortune, will resign be
fore long and leave the country, going
to Paris TO reside. One reason seems tC
be that even his political friends ano
supporters are beginning to talk boldly
and bitterly about the many valuable
concessions granted by the government
| TO foreigners.
| In the event of his resignation and
| departure, such a crisis might be ex
pected as would put to severe test so
called free government in Mexico.
