If a gentleman is addressed in writ
ing, only his hands are kissed not his

These formulae are followed not only
by the richer, but by all classes As
to the poorest their courtesy toward
one another is widely different from the
gruff, boorish intercourse of the plebei-
| ans of other nations.
The poor Mexican cannot frame q
sentence without employing one or
more terms of endearment.
Como eStas mi alma ?'' (How are
you, my soulO The words they ad-
dress TO each other speak OF the gentle
consideration for the feelings of their
neighbors, which characterizes the race
and emanates from spontaneous cour-
teSy.
Mexican gentleman will never per-
nit lady to descend the stairs unac-
companied. He takes her softly by the
hand or offers his arm to assist her in
going down the steps, and only takes
leave of her at the street door; when
he does not insist in leaving the lady
at her own home.
Often in their rambes through the
large cities of the country strangers
lose their way and have recourse to
their sometimes scant knowledge of
Spanish to be put In the right road. An
invariable courtesy-when the stranger
addresses a man not of the lowest class
lis the result.
Love is more the business of life in
Mexico than in northern chimes; per-
haps because other people have more
diversions than we have. The lady
love is ardently styled "the very eyes
of me- but that does not prevent the
Mexican beau. when stung by jealousy,
from denouneing love as treacherous.
Since there is no help, 1 bow before
you, kiss your feet and depart is the
becoming way in which the unrequited
lover takes leave of the girl that has
given him the cold shoulder.
All hope is over. love is stretched upon
his bier; but the Mexican whom a beau
at the slight pretends to feel more
he has given her with his unremitting
attentions. Excuse me, fair lady, for
having put you to the trouble of re-
pelling the audacious revelation of the
feeling you have awakened in my bos-
onr." Such is the mild form in which
he gives vent to his rage and despair.
Race, of course, has had its influence
in promoting this spirit of courtesy and
civility. 1t is an inheritance from the
old colonial days. The descendants of
the Viceroy and "oldores' of New
Spain acquired by the exercise of pow
er and wealth a certain advantage Of
manner and tone transmitted through
several generations TO the Mexicans of
to-day and high breeding was the re-

NON-PARTISANSHIP

Professor Gunton says that for some
time there has been persistent effort
put forth from eminently respectable
sources to evolve a theory of non-parti-
san government-presum We take It
for State and nation. But however a
theory of that order may be made to
apply in small or large municipal COM
munities-and we doubt its wisdom even
then-w7e are convinced that it is an
absurdity to think OF such a thing for
State or the national control. In both the
State and the country at large and in
greater cities the administration must

LINCOLN'S PALLBEARERS.
There Are Only Two Of the Num-

Abraham Lincoln. That was on April

"Worthington was then a Represen-

no means his first position in public
life. He was a member of the Cali

together with the recently retired JUS

Carson News: Throughout Nevada
considerable interest is being taken in
the proposed day of racing with lady
riders at Ingleside some day this
month. A number of owners of very
fast horses have signified a willingness
to turn their steeds over to the ladies.
In this section of the country there
are at least four excellent riders: Mrs.
w. H. Bagwill, Misses Applegate, Dy-
son and Allen. and it is more than an
even bet that if the affair comes off
one of these four will carry off the

graduated at our colleges, as there are
plenty of them who have been invalids

they did not graduate, nor because they
We're i'll, nor because they were super

WEAK ADVERTISING DODGE.
Mountain Echo: Brass bands and elab-
crate displays of flags and bunting in
the metropolis of the State isn't the
kind of advertising that will bring our
mining resources fairly before the world.
Wide and extensive publicity of our
mineral resources by the public press
will serve the end much better than a
Fourth of July celebration in San Fran
cisco in the month of January. Our
vast mineral resources require adver-
tising and jubilee held somewhere
on the mother lode, right among the
gold producers, would serve the purpose
much better than a celebration in some
town or city remote firm the roar of the
mills and the clatter of Burleigh drills.
AN AIRSHIP.
Stockton Record: Edison, Jr., seems
to have gotten himself entangled with
the airship problem, and, according to
the dispatches, he has taken a ride in
an airship with sails inflated with a
new gas of his own discovery. Perhaps
young Edison made the statement at
tributed to him and perhaps it is yellow
fiction like some of the recently alleged
interviews with his father. Perhaps II
he did make the announcement it is an
evidence that he is like Tesla-a talker
instead of doer. When an inventor
or scientist deals in words mostly in
stead of demonstrations, he may be
viewed with pardonable distrust.

THE DE LONE INCIDENT.

The accounts from Washington are
very conflicting concerning the De Lone
incident. One tells us that the Spanish
Minister refuses to affirm or to deny the
verify Of the insulting letter; another is
TO the effect that he admits writing the
thing but that it is to severely trans
lated, giving more color to his thought
than he had in mind, but that on the
whole the letter expresses his senti-
ments; stin another story is that the
Minister has not spoken on the sub
ject but that his Secretary is authority
for the statement that the letter is a.
forgery.
The latest and most sensational recital
is that Spain has already recalled her
Minister. If this last is true it is most
extraordinary performance. Govern
ments are not given to acting so hastily
as that. Certainly Spain would not re-
move her Minister until he had been
heard from in defense, nor indeed until
this Government had laid complaint
could 1t have official knowledge of the
matter. We take it therefore that if
DE LONE has been recalled it is upon
his resignation, which it is said he has
rendered, or the order is based on other
grounds that the letter offensed and it is
made possible to head off and avoid this
very matter of the letter to Canelejas.
Sitting all the stories, comments and
assertions Of what is true and what
false, we reach these conclusions that
the President has taken official cogni-
zauce of the insult, though the letter
was a private one and obtained by theft.
and though he has had only newspaper
information Of it's existence The sill
ence or admissions of the offender are
sufficient to justify him in taking such
notice. That he has instructed the State
Department to advise Spain of the de-
STABILITY Of recalling De LONE and that
the United States will hold communica-
ton with Spain hereafter only through
our Minister at Madrid, thus ignoring
De LONE entirely as a medium Of COM
munication.
This is not severance of diplomatic
relations, but is an interruption that will
surely lead to disruption, in which case
our own Minister would be recalled. We
do not look for such an outcome 1t ia
stated already that Spain is prepared
to disavow the action of De LONE, and
when that is done and he Is recalled.
the infexible law OF diplomatic etiquette
requires us to accept the denial unless
We are prepared to break with Spain
and make way for war;
The President has not to this date
manifested desire for warlike outcome
OF the situation in regard to Spain and
Cubs~ But the strong expressions made
In Congress, and the somewhat intem-
perate resolutions already introduced,
unmarked by the dignity and calm that
should distinguish Senatorial expression
and national declaration, may result in
a break Of friendly relations with Spain.
The news Of such proceedings when re-
ceived in Spain will certainly infame
the public mind and strengthen the
hands of the opposition party, which may
result speedily into either resignation
of the Ministry. or its submission to the
angry elements which are clearly dis
posed to have trouble with the United
States. even though It brings on another

The assassination of President Bar
rios Of Guatemala was not unexpected.
He had clearly invited such an ending.
From President he had passed to a die
tatorship, in effect, and had adopted a
policy relentless in it's cruelty and un-
sparing in it's condemnation of all who
dared to differ even in thought with the
administration. In one account 1t is re-

called from Mexico to the Presidency,
but that call comes from a revolutionary
party that expects to control the coun-
try. But the First ce-President of
