 Guadalajara News: "The most ser ious proposition of the people in thl' city, said builder is the scarcity oi of labor and building material. The city is growing rapidly and faster than they are able to supply building material. Labores are also in great demand. Many of the concerns have been compelled to import bricklal CTS and stone masons from the state of Texas. There is no town in the re- public, perhaps, which pays a better grade of wages to the wUrkingman than ,Guadalajara.
 Guadalajara News: Mexico buys more American books than those of France, and nearly as many as Ger many Much of this trade is due to the large resident American popula- tion to be found in Mexico cities and to the demand from mining camps where Americans are living, and not a little is due to the growing spread of English among the Mexican people. There is strong tendency here in favor of popularizing the English language, and the learners of that tongue comprise professional men in middle life as well as thousands of youths. Some large institutions of learning put English ahead of French.

This point is only eight Mexican leagues from Chan Santa Cruz, the head quarters of the so-called Maya republic It is, therefore, expected that the federal forces will reach this latter place in few days, though the country through which they have to pass is fortified as we'll as the Indians nave been able to do it.

As stated in Mondays News his operations are said to have covered the countries of Spain, Italy, Cuba and Mexico. Move mber 23d last Davizar was engaged as a servant in the home of Manuel Rueda, one of the wealthy residents of the City of Mexico.

MICHAEL DAVIT"T WRITES
 .~=1~-ON THE GRTSFs SITUATION


Dublin, April 9.-The, death and impos- ing obseauies of the great Irish, reyolu- tiohist of our generation has excited dis cussion In England as to what extent, if any, there is today a real anu-Brtlsh revolutionary movement in Ireland The discussion is, of course, conducted in John Bulls most virtuous and self-lauda- tory spirit. It is replete with the conscious sense of injury felt by the writers at the thought that any number of Irishmen should dream of seVering the connection between the two countries at any time, and of their expressions of condemnation and contempt for the misguided number who really wish and work to do so now. In fact, the incurable Saxon vanity which implies that "al that's goods English all that isn't, aint," runs through the general newspaper comment which the demise and burial of James Stephens have provoked in the press of Great Britain.
 The question thus raised will not be 1e- void of interest to the friends of the Irish cause in America. and a few observa- tions relevant to the subject may not be out of place in this letter.
 The active revolutionary force at work in Ireland today is less by far than at any period since the Irish Republican Brotherhood was first organized. There are many explanations of this rcgrettable fact, but the London Times is not cor rect in asserting that it is owing to the influence of concessions by the British parliament to Irish farmers. and to the working of the county government act of 1S9S There is no such growing con tentment' with English rule in Ireland as is thus claimed The true explanation is due to causes and agencies obvious to all who really understand our people, and who comprehend the trend of their ma tionalist activities. Ire English super ficial observer of Irish movements only gropes for hisfacts. and then adapts them to the purpose of his own conelu- sions.
 There are two main influences which account for the decreasing activity of physical force bodies in Ireland. One is, the continued deadly drain of our young men from the country in the ceaseless stream of emigration to America. The other is the greater hold which political movements, more practically revolution ary, have upon those men who remain than the secret society media of revolu- tionary purpose could possibly secure. In such organizations as the Land League, National League, and United Irish Leagues of the past twenty years, there have been far stronger anti-Brtish revo- lutionary forces at work, and more prac- tical workers for an independent Ireland combined, than there were found in all the secret associations of the previous

ion picture to it's sister city, less than one hundred miles away, and down South, Baltimore, in political turpi- tude, was not far behind either of them. The three presented striking trinity of electoral villainy, one over whelmingly Republican and the two others Democratic. Cincinnati, Chi cago, St. Louis, San Francisco, New Orleans and score of the smaller cities have, in their municipal annals, chapters equally dark and repellant. Politics has nothing to do with it. Pelf not principle, was the controlling mo tive of the robber rings that at one | time or another footed all these com | munities Indeed, in many of them che political highway industry is flour ishing as vigorously as ever it did and there seems to be no way of bringing 1t to an end.
 But important as is the political phase of the crowded tenement region, the moral and Humanitarian side of it is still more so. To rescue these un- fortunate persons from their horrible environment, to give them an oppor- tunity to live as men and women should live, and enable them to rear their children as they should be reared, is, beyond all question, a work that the government must in the end undertake. New York, for example, must do as London has resolved to do. There is no other solution ot the prob lem. Private charity and religious zeal have done much in the way of amehoration, but the evil is too gigan- tlc to be eradicated in that way. Be-

a guide, and reason more and more es- sential. Hence, with the evolution of req son there has been s concomitant dis solution of instinct, until, when we arrive at civilized man. we fn1 the one guide all but superseded by the other.
 Now this places man at a disadvantage as compared with the brutes, since the guidance of reason is not by any means so trustworthy as that of the instinct wkhich it has replaced. It is needless here to enter into psychological exposition of the defects of reason as a guide for man. To do this with any sort of full ness and completeness would be to write a book on human error. But what does concern us, and that most intimately, is that under the working of this new ar engagement, as we may call it, man is continually going wrong in matters psychological, and it Is most difficult to set him right Do not we physicians see him consistently shining against the laws of health, and that with a temerity that

month, and the total investment nearly eight millions of dollars. The project is not a charity. On the contrary, it will be self-supporting, and, in fact, dividend on the investment Is con- fidently expected.
 Here is a thoroughly practical plan of dealing with the vile tenement house problem in the crowded centers of population. The question is not one which concerns the big cities exclu- sively. It is of vital interest to the whole republic. One of the first of American statesmen said, more than century ago. that great cities are sores upon the body politic," and al- though there was then no community with a population anywhere near the one hundred thousand mark, the test of time has proved the wisdom of the observation. Tweed could not have ruled and robbed New York City with out the vote of its slums. It was in them he got the majorities that gave him his lease of power, and under the loose election laws of that period, he could make the majorlty what he pleased. In many districts the vote was larger than the number of inhab- itants in it. Philadelphia, about the same time, presented a good compan-

eighty years And .thisis the reason why the London Times and our English rulers have declared these league combinations to be far more dangerous to the existence of their government in Ireland than all the occult fragmentary forces which were working for it's overthrow by an avowed means of arned combat.
 This view Of our English critics is, lin- questionably. the correct one. As a peo- pie we have neither been successful cdn- spirators in preparing for rebellion, nor any serious menace to England in our various attempts att insurfection. We are not, as a matter of fact. racially adapted for plotting or planning armed uprisings. Our people have enither the secretive qualities which successful con spiracy requires in it's silent organizers nor the patient. nethodical perseverance which asystematic accumulation of arms and mat erial demands In the preparation of an armed revolt in a country so well and constantly watched as Ireland is by English spies and agents. Stephens Fenian Brotherhood was, in reality. a great revolutionary agitation. misnamed a "conspiracy" rather than d powerful physical force organization. It was healthy and strong In it's separatist po- tentialities; in it's sentiment of revolt against English rule: in the spirit of na- tional liberty which it revived in the popular mind after the horrible depres- sion created in Ireland by the great famine But 1t was in no sense formid- able as an insurrectionary force. It was claimed that the I. R. B. had. at one time, 200, 900 members in Ireland alone This was. of course, an exaggeration. Probably half that number including the initiated Irish soldiers in British army, would be nearer the true figure. If Stephens had had control of ten thous- and more carefully selected men, provid- ed, as they might well have been, with as many rifles, he would probably have made as good d fight in 1865 as that of the Ninety Eight Rebellion. Whereas, the one hundred thousand unarmed Fenians were unable to make any stand worthy of the name when an ill-advised rising was determined upon by other leaders in 1867
 The national apathy of the famine years will always be our historic con- demnation as practical rebels against England We were over 8,O0000 of peo- double that population at the time. Every rational human incentive to re- bclion. combined with every national im- pulse to throw off the callous rule that was morally responsible for the calamity which overwhelmed the country. called upon the Irishnien of the day to assert their manhood and fight rather than die of, hunger. They preferred to die-200, 900 people in all. Had 20 900 only of these se- solved to sell their lives for themselves and country, fighting for the food which the country actually grew In it's cattle and produce, or in efforts to capture the forts and arsenals where arms could be found, the dreadful holocust of death by

starvation which followed would have been saverted, while great blow for Irish freedom would have been struck at a time when Europe was seething with revolutionary passion and purpose.
 There is no greater or more humiliat- ing reproach than this soulless. national apathy of the famine years recorded in Ireland's chequered history. Efforts have been made to explain so unique a phenomenon in human action as man dying by tens of thousands for want of food rather than fight to obtain it. OConnell and the Catholic church have been blamed for this truly unnatural cowardice in the Celtic people of the period, with what truth history has not yet been able to tell us. In one sense measure of blame rests upon O'Connell, but It must likewise be shared to an equal extent by the men who aVowed themselves reyo1utionists at the time, and who subsequently made q grotesque attempt at insurrection fin 1SiS. The two movements of political and revolutionary trend were rendered antagonistic instead of being auxiliary in their actions. Be- tween the suicidal conflict thus created among leaders. the nation was left with out any guidance save the purely spiritu- al one which concerned itself only with the souls of people at time when soul and body were commanded by the very
 
 to live in a land in which God had, even in those dread years provided abundant food for the purposes of existence.
 Such an epidemic of sickness spirit less manhood would be impossible in the Ireland of today. The first revolt against the theories of inverted popular morality which made a famine possible where food was plenty was the uprise of the Fenian organization, and the movement which rendered any repetition of the great so- cial and moral crime of 1S47-4S impossible was that of the Land League. The latter movement united more of our race in a struggle for "The Land for the People" than had ever before been combined for a really revolutionary Irish purpose. It provoked no conflict with other organiza- tions. It utilized all available forces moral, parliamentary and revolutionary, for the attainments of it's chief aim and purpose; namely, to assert the right of the Irish people to rule their own coun- try in their own way, and to make such laws as their own needs required and de- manded. This is an aim and purpose that can be avoiwed and worked for every where in Ireland today. It is for this end and this only, tkat the Nationalist movement of the United Irish League ex- ists, and those who are pleased to differ with the means which 1t employs for the realization of a free country, have only to concern themselves with the labor of procuring arms, instead of that of making anti-League speeches to hasten the time when a combined Irish race may grasp whatever available opportunity of fers to assert it's influence and power in the task of rebuilding an independent Celtic nation in Ireland.

sides that, it is not fair that burden should be imposed on one class, or that they should be allowed to assume it, which all should bear. It will be contended that to embark in enter prises of this character would be con- trary to the letter and spirit of our constitution. The answer to that Is, make the constitution fit the case by amending it. Constitutions are made by men for men, not men for consti- tutions. There Is nothing sacred about them. At the best, they are more or less imperfect instruments of govern ment, and all of them provide for the machinery by which they can be i'm proved. The crowded tenement is blot upon civilization. It must be eradicated.
