"Mexico must indeed have changed
greatly within the last ten or fifteen
years"
Chow. SOP,
why, it is now one Of the most
peaceful countries in the world. But
twenty years ago it was the land or
revolts, instructions and pronuncla-
mientos. The cannou-fre of one revo-
luton scarcely ceased when another
broke out in some other state or pro-
vince. 1t was the country of perennial
civil war. But all that appears to have
ceased abruptly.
Numerous railroads are built, or
building. Telegraphs aud telephones
are erected. The country is governed
as by clockwOrk. A stranger can
travel unarmed there now in perfect
safety, whereas twenty years ago one
could not take q walk in the suburbs OF
even the capital city without being in
danger from robbers and bandits. An
efficient police, the rurales, now main
tain order.
"Mills and factories are now going
into operation. An admirable school
system has been establish ed. Inc &c
clesiasticai power, which had held the
people in ignorance and supers tltlon
for three centuries, has been checked
and limited. In short, Mexico is Or
prosperous and self-respecting.'
And do you know to what this great
change for the better is due?' asked
fine looking, elderly man, sitting lit
lie farther down the long table, for
this conversation took place at ban
auet onsthe occasion of the great ami
9ersary of the Knights Templars in
Boston, in 1879.
ITO what them" asked the previous
speaker.
ITO one mantle patrol. president
Of Mexico. General Porfrio Diaz."
But is not Diaz more dictator aud
an autocrat than a republican presi-
dent?" asked one.
"He makes of himself what Mexico
REQUIRES. His inclinations have always
sen in favor of popular liberty. He
possesses strong clm non sense, aud
neither Washington nor Lincoln sur
passed him in love of country. W1ohal
Diaz is a MAJ of immense nerve and
pacity for hard WORK. He allows no
nor neglect in govern
ment business. And while he attends
20 present affairs, he foresees and pre-
pares for future necessary measures
'sSingular, is it not," said another,
that Mexico's two most lilnstrlous
men, Benito Juarez and Portirio Diaz,

should be of that Aztec race which the
Spanish COnquerorS so cruelty OPP
pressed and slaughtered. From this
subjugated race have come the two
patriots who have done most for the
Mexico of our times"
''Sipeular, indeed. And the dom
minant traits of both JuareZ and Diaz
are Indian rather than Spanish. No
Spaniard could have passed through
what Diaz did in the carrier years of his
career and survived. He eviuced the
subtlety and endurance of the Indian
character then. Those periOus earlier

reliance and in self-control.
did you ever hear the story of his
return from exile to Mexico, in 1870,
when a bounty of fifty thousand dollars
had been set on his head by his enemy,
Lerdo, who had control of the govern
ment? Masonic influence aided Disz
greatly at that dark hour of his life.
IL is therefore quite appropriate to tell
the story here, although it has never
been made public And the story
was as fOllOws:
One warm evening in July, 1875, the
old steamship City of Havana, then sail
ing between New York, Hawai-. Vera
Cruz, Tampico and New Orleans, lay a
the levee in New Orleans receiving
cargo and ge tirg ready t. drop down th'
river early the following morning
Sands, the purser, as usual on the eve
of sailing, was very busy with his
freight accounts. Invoices, bills of lad
inp. and so forth. He was then {
poung man of twenty-eight, native
of New York, where be had taken the
degree of a Master Mason.
During the evening he had occasion
to 90 hastily to the house of the New
Orleans agent for the steamship line
On his way back to the ship, just as
be reached the waterfront, a we'll
dressed stranger paused in passing
| made a sign to him. and then, con
siderably to the young purser's sur
prise, raised the flag of Distress
a secret signal reserved for use between
| brother Masons in cases OF extreme
urgency.
Sands made the proper response
and told the applicant to come to hin
in his private room on board the steam
ship. Thither the stranger soon folio "
ed him, and after introducing himself
stated that he had made the distress
signal ir behalf of brother Mason,
Mexican military officer whom nece:
sity compelled to return at once 7
his native land, but whose life was
jeopardy.
