Mexico and the 48 Cent Dollar.

Mexico and the 48 Cent Dollar.
"The annual message Of President
Diaz of Mexico, says the Springfield
Republican, recently published,
"shows that one sub tropical country
is progressing without the aid Of for
eign despotisms imposed for philan-
thropy and trade. During the last
year many new schoolhouses have
been built and more railroad mileage
has been laid down. Mining and ag-
riculture have prospered. To be sure
the government of Diaz may be die
tatorial, but it is strictly local af-
fair The argument that the tropics
must be ruled from without does not
apply to Mexico" We thought that
Mexico was poor and degraded, thai
nothing was prospering there. How
can mining and agriculture prosper
in country where the money stand
ard is silver?
How is it possible for people tt
use Ascent dollar and still cult
vate their fields, work their mines
build railroads and increase the mum

Two Royal Jubi1ees

Two important jubilees take place this
year. One IL the twenty fifth anniver-
sary OF the accession to the throne of
King Albert of saxony, which will be
celebrated In April, while the other is
the flftieth anniversary of the success
sion to the crown Of Emperor Francis
Joseph. which occurs the early part of
December next. Both Emperor William
and Emperor Francis Joseph have ar
ranged to be at Dresden for the king of
Saxony's Jubilee, and 1t is not unlikely
that the ear likewise may attend, while
on his way back from Copenhagen,
where he is due 10 days previous to take
part in the celebration of the eightieth
birthday of his grandfather. the king of
Denmark, and of the marriage of Prince
Christian of Denmark with the young
Duchess Alexandrina of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin. which Is to take place at the
same time.
But of all the guests who will visit
Dresden in April the most welcome I'M
doubtedly will he the emperor of Aus
trla who is the Oldest and most init
mate personal friend of King George.
There is a good deal in common be-
tween these two old monarchs. who bear
IA certain degree of personal resem-
blanoe to each other, possess the same
tastes. and never are so supremely hap
Ply and contented as when together en-
ployed in stalking channels or other
mountain game. In the case of EACH
accession to the throne followed on the
mental decrepitude of the predecessor.
and neither the one nor the other can
be said to have been altogether happy

of winter over n trail deep buried by
the snow For days he struggled along,
barely escaping death by freezing, slid

survival is one of the mysteries. After
that he dug post holes to live. Then he
wrote out n lecture, and when he had

some time he earned livelihood on the

and he generally had to walk from one
place to the next because he couldn't
afford to ride.
In 1866 he ran for the state legisla-
ture. But he got a little mixed about
"greenbacks" and failed of election. All
along he had been an occasional con-

work had attracted general attention.
In 1865 he was amazed by being asked

the agents o; his company were in
structed to study this number closely,
and each one was furnished a copy
thereof.
For some years prior TO his death he
was IN the habit of making addresses
Mt definite intervals. in which he elu-
Cidated his theories with reference to
specific conditions Today meetings of
those who have accepted his philosophy
are being regularly held In many cities.
In fact. thousands are now interested
In the milford thought and philosophy,
In place of hundreds when he died.
-
milford was born at Sag Harbor. i.
!. His family was one of the Oldest on
all the island. but while Prentice was
yet only q lad he came to see that he
could never win n place in the world
worth having at Sag Harbor. This was
borne in apon him with great v.vidness
when he stood upon the wooden pier at
home and watched a shipload of Long
Islanders sail for California soon after
gold had there beer found.
1t was not till 1856, however. that he
left Sag Harbor. Before that there had
been little in life for him, either actu-
ally or prospectively. Afterward there
was always hope, but for years some
how realization was ever far in the flu
ture and his existence was long a sue
cession of hardships aud disappoint-
ments, of strenuous effort fruitlessly re-
peated again and again. But this Is a
world OF compensation. He'd his path
through the world been easier to the
loot Prentice Mulford's philosophy
would probably never have been writ
ten.
When he left Sag Harbor II was to

New York to San Francisco. Before the
vessel had been long at sea she sprang

Choir was cast inside the Golden Gate
milford had to take his turn with the
others of the crew at the pumps. when
the long. tedious voyage was at last
completed. the captain informed the boy
that he never could be n sailor and
sent him adrift. This was In August.
1886. Mulford's money was limited to
what he had earned on the Wizard. He
was a stranger in a strange land. He
was naturally cursed with an obstinate
bashfulness. He knew not which way
20 turn.
The vigilantes then had control Of
San Francisco. For months Milford
knocked about its streets without ac-
