MEXICO
The Great Political Parties Are Beoom-
 ing Very Active

City of Mexico. July S.-The growth in the power of the clerical or conservative party in Chilli, Peru, and Colombia, and their pretensions in Central America, have aroused the liberal party statesmen and politicians in Latin-America, and they now realize that a movement Is on foot to bring about a monarchial reaction in this hemis- phere, and that the long battle with the reactionary party is by no means won. The liberals have always looked to the United States for their inspiration, and still have confidence In the instinct for freedom which is so strong among American people.
 The liberal party organ says:
 The conservatives who dream of renew ing the old union with Spain and against the attempt to unseat the European prn- ciples in America, are working untiringly and now assert that their ideas are tri- umphing in the United States, where mod ern imperialism is promoting the monar- chial idea, though not yet fully avowed The clerical party is again accommodating property, and is today stronger than thirty years ago. It's ideals are radically in con trast with the liberal party programme, which is of developed democratic institu- tionS."

With the Iron Workers

Youngstown, O., July S.-The secret cir culars issued by President Shaffer of the Amalgamated Association received consid- eration at special meetings of number of lodges last night, and action will be taken by others tomorrow. President Shaffer de- sires that the scale conference committee be clothed with power to change the base of the scale adopted at the Indianapolis convention. The result of the vote taken must be in the general offices of the asso- citation in Pittsburg next Tuesday.
 Many iron workers do not desire to work in hot weather, and they are in favor of making stubborn fight with the manufac- turers on the Indianapolis scale until cold weather. With the decline in the iron market, there is little probability of the scale being agreed upon at the next meet ing of the conference committee unless the base is changed.
