A dispatch from the City of Mexico says
that preparations are on foot for great
demonstration under the auspices OF the
Liberal party in favor of the reelection OF
President Diaz and that the foreign resi-
dents in Mexico are especially anxious for IT,
General Diaz is now serving his fourth con-
secutive term as President, having been
elected the last time in July. 1896 The presi-
Dental term is four years, and next July
he will have served continuously sixteen
years To say that he is the best President
Mexico ever had Is poor praise. for 1t never
had another worthy to be compared with
him His administration has been a bless
ing to the country and he deserves all the
gratitude and honors the people can bestow.
But the fact that it is proposed to re-elect
him for the fifth term. and that the foreign
residents, who represent most OF the capital
invested In Mexican industries, regard his
reelection as necessary to the maintenance
OF prosperous conditions does not augur
well for the future of the country. General
Diaz is a great man and true patriot, but
he cannot live always, and if he is the only
man fit or safe to be trusted as President,
what Is to become of Mexico when he dies?
in this country none of our Presidents has
ever been accorded even third term. much
less a fourth and fifth. and 1t has never
been felt that the stability Of the govern
ment or the peace and prosperity of the
country depended on keeping any man in
the presidential office This is not healthy
sign in Mexico.

three hundred years devoting their atten-

that schools of forestry were not established

In short article i'm the Independent on
the changes and tendencies of the Amer
lean stage, John Drew says, among other
things, that he does not see the American
tragedy anywhere above the horizon, the
tendency of the drama being in the direction
OF comedy and romance. He adds. by way
OF explanation: Perhaps so few Amer
leans have attempted to write tragedy be-
cause we are. as a nation. still very young,
and have had little that is tragic in our his
tory. There are plenty of pathetic notes
from the revolutionary war. but nothing
large enough to be called tragic on the
American side unless 1t was the Benedict
Arnold episode. the treatment of which
would certainly be a giants task" 1t
would be interesting to know what sort Of
history Mr. Drew would regard as tragic.
Nothing less than the destruction and
downfall Of the nation. perhaps Other
wise why would not our civil WARMTH it's
tremendous four years struggle. serve as a
basis for stage drama? Were
there not incidents in that war
quite as deeply tragic as any ever
found in the classic tragedies to which
he alludes? 1t is. perhaps. too soon TO put
the great figures OF that war upon the
stage, but it is rather strange to find Mr..
Drew ignoring it as a possible source of
suggestion to the writer's of American
tragedy. He expresses the opinion also.
that in America the influence of the stage
Is or the side of morals. and that the pub
lie taste is perfectly healthy and may be

this he points cut that while an objection
able play may attract for time, 1t is by
reason OF its strangeness, and 1t cannot be
repeated. 1t does not remain long on the

The appearance of Julia Marlowe in the
character Of Barbara Freitchie, in a play
based or Whittier's poem, has given rise to
considerable discussion in New York papers.
AS represented in the play. which was writ
ten for Miss Marlowe, Barbara is a young
woman. This departure from the poets
idea, it is explained, was because Barbara
was an entirely imaginery parsonage, and
no historic truth was affected by making
her young. and further-this being the chief
reason. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Miss Marlowe
did not wish to take an old woman's part.
This explanation has brought out letter
from resident of Baltimore who says she
knew Barbara Freitchie and her family.
The communication. which appears in the
New York Times, reads, in part, thus:
Barbara Frietchie was loyal to her hearts
though L believe she was the only mem Der

GREAT LITTLE PAPER.

Harry Huddleston, the popular travel
ing engineer of the Rio Grade road on
this division, brought to this office today
u small pamphlet which he gave orders to
have sent away and bound in the hand
soonest binding possible to obtain.
The book is only sixteen pages in size
but its value comes from the fact that it
was edited and printed on board the
flag ship Olympia, Admiral Dewey's
ship, Immediately after the battle OF
Manila hnrbor, when the guns OF the
American feet Sci tied forever the battle
ships Of the Spanish.
The little paper is called The Bound
Ing Billow" and says ON the fly leaf that
1t is published in the interests Of Ameri
san Men O'Warsmen. uht
1t contains most authentic account
OF the battle Of Manila Bay. Tho des-
cription OF the battle starts OF with the
following verse:
"Ships we're sinking;
Old Glory Aging
Guna were roaring,
6paniarda dying.
"The Bounding Billow' is edited by L.
b. Young and in the paper it il stated
that 1t would have been impossible to
have gotten out the edition had it not
been for the fact that aome hf the
editors comrades captured the paper
from the tort At Cavite. And by the
way, the paper is most exoellenty edited,
showing that Mr.. Young is a talented
man, whoever he may be.
Mr.. Huddleston secured the paper ia
the following manner;
One evening, goiAs out OF this city on
a Rio GsAnde passenger, he met two Of
the Aree1nen of the aagship. returning
bone ON furlouph, and making their
acquaintance before they parted they
promised to send the copy Of the little

keep the paper and desires it preserved
