FUTURE OF MEXICO.
SERIOUS CONDITIONS LOOM UP
AFTER DlAZ'S DEATH.
The President's Demise Cannot Now BE
Long Deferred, and the Specter OF
Revolution Threatens Uncle Sam
May Have to Take a Hand.

No other country In the world to-day
by the death of its ruler as Mexico. The
condition of things in the republic is
most peculiar and is Interestingly and
instructively set forth In the follow
Ing article by j. ID. Whelpley. The
government of the country, says the
writer, is one of beneicent absolutism
and Imperialism. At its head is a great
man, old In years, but young In spirit
and hope for his people. He stands
forth from the group of those who have
led Spanish-Amerlcans as does a giant
among pigmies. From the people he
rules. he is one of them. He is more
than this, however, for while retaining
his Identity of interest he has grown
beyond them In his knowledge of the
worlds affairs and in his skill In state
craft.
In twenty-five years of rule he has
brought u nation forward two centuries
In the arts and sciences, but he has
failed to teach them how to do without
his guiding hand. 1t may be admitted
that one man, no matter how great his
power or great his talents, cannot be
everything in the building up of ma
ton to perfection, but perhaps 1t would
have been possible for Gen. Porflrio
Diaz to have inculcated the millions OF
people under his care at least the first
principles of self-government. This he
has not done. Notwithstanding the fact
that his position and power have rest
ed during all this time upon constitu-
tional government in theory. There
have been no evil results from this
omission, and possibly there would
have been less peace had he supplied
It, for newly awakened body polite
is apt to be restless, as we have seen in
Cuba.
When a Strong Man Is Needed.
There can be but one result, how
ever, when one strong man constitutes

himself the government and reserves
to himself absolute power In general
and In detail. When this man Is taken
away there. Is necessarily doubt as to
what may come next. If by any chance
there is another ready to take his
place, ready to assume the reins and
drive the wild horses Of imperial gov
ernment with equal skill, then there
should be no period of chaos between
the laying down of one rule and the
taking on of another. A country is In
deed fortunate, however, which finds
such men ready to hand when the need
presents itself. With all his great per-
sonal vigor, his iron constitution and
bis care for his own life, the time is
rapidly drawing near when Gen. Diaz
will either be called to Join that group
of Spanish-American leaders now pass
cd from earth, or else will find the du-
ties of state falling SO heavily upon
him that he must perforce lay down
the burden upon more vigorous shoul-
ders.
Ii the foreigners who have found
their homes and opportunity In Mexico
were to have their say the Diaz admin
lstration would continue forever. They
would be supported In this desire by
every Mexican who has benefited by
and who takes pride In the present
peace and prosperity which prevail
throughout the country.
If the people of Mexico had placed
Gen. Diaz at the head of the govern
ment by their untrammeled vote and
had continued him In each succeeding
four years In the same position by the
same voluntary expression of opinion
as provided for In their constitution the
situation would not be so serious. 1t
Is well-understood fact, however.
that Gen. Diaz made himself President
by military skill. kept himself In power
! by that same force until he was so
strengthened by his commercial alli-
ances, individual and collective. that
his position became impregnable.
With the mass Of the people not only
Indifferent to what changes may take
place at the head of the government
but incapable. through custom and ed
ucation, of exercising any voice in the
same, the struggle narrows itself down
to group Of active schemers, whose
Importance is relative to the size of
their following and their control of
dominant forces.
The Courier. (Genoa, Nev.) 1899-1904, 1901-07-12

The situation presents two phases.
One of these is involved In the sud
den taking off of President Diaz, leav-
ing matters to be adjusted by others;
another phase is the power which he
possesses In case his life should be
spared to nomlnally retire from his Of
fee and place someone else In author
ity, supporting that authority by the
same forces by which he now holds
control. 1t Is not necessary to specu-
late upon what might happen in case
Gen. Dias should suddenly be called
away. 1t Is enough to say that 1t
would be an appalling calamity, not
only to the Mexican people, but for
every foreigner who has a dollar at
stake in their country. No human pow
er could prevent a greater or less dis
integration of the political structure
which has been built up by Gen. Diaz
and supported by a well-equipped and
formidable army commanded by a
loyal friend
The capital would become the scene
Of dispute between factions advocat-
ing this or that man for the office, and

The Height of the Table.

There was q certain Major Y. who
had for some years enjoyed the reputa-
ton of being one of the widest men In
India. Making call on one occasion
on mess, he found Captain a., whom
he wanted, out, but the mess waiter as
sured him that the latter would s0on
return, wherefore he waited in the an
teroom.
A few minutes later the mess SER
geant happening to pass the window,
noticed to his surprise that Major X.
had passed into the messroom beyond
and was applying a tape measure to
the mess table. Naturally considering
this an odd proceeding, he mentioned
it later on in the day to Captain T.. who
took counsel and then begged a favor
of the colonel, which was to allow an
inch to he sawed off the table legs. In
due course Major X. was invited to din
ner, and the mess was there to man.
AS was expected, during dessert he
contrived to lead the conversation on to
guessing heights, and from that to Of
fering to bet on the present mahogany
was but a step. They took him on, from
colonel down to the youngest sub. Even
the chaplain could not resist the temp
tation to chastise the unrighteous and
ventured his mite. The challenger bet
first, just an eighth of an inch beyond
the old height, and then the mess, In ro-
tation, guessed exactly the same, and
all guessed exactly right. He was done
completely.-London Free Lance.

ity Of the latter would necessitate
prompt and effective protection of all
the vast domestic and foreign interests
In Mexico.
There is even to-day small fraction
of the Mexican people In favor Of an
nexation to the United States, but this
feeling Is far from being general
among any one class. Some of the
Spanish Catholic priests are friendly
to the idea, as they still cherish con-
siderable animosity toward the Mexi-
can republic for Its confscation of
church property. and these priests be-
lieve that under American rule they
would regain much Of what they lost.
It is certainly incumbent upon the
government Of the United States to
keep sharp eye upon the progress of
events In Mexico. There have been
many unofficial complaints from that
country that the United States has un-
derrated the importance of It's embassy
In the Mexican capital.

pen In Brooklyn" said member of the
finance department, "a few nights ago
was going out on late train on the
Fifth avenue elevated road. There
were few passengers In the car. Sit
ting opposite me was demure looking
Brooklynite with large bundle under
each arm. The bundles were closely
wrapped with newspapers.
Suddenly violent internal move
ment agitated the bundle under the
mans left arm, and moment later the
head of large game rooster broke
through the paper. AS soon as the roost-
ers head was clear he crowed loud
and defantly. Then the bundle under
the other arm heaved and struggled,
another beak and comb appeared. and
the crow of defiance was promptly an
swered by one of challenge.
"Then for five minutes those two
roosters crowed at 80 seconds inter-
walls, while their owner struggled des-
perately to get them back into the
wrappings where he had thought them
effectually concealed. He Indignantly
refused the request of the other passen-
gers to put them on the floor of the car
and let them fight it out."-New York

The vote was unanimous, with the

they should vote in that election.

that nine persons outiof ten ever
require during life. Ask the grad
yates of great institutions of learn
ing whose affairs or tahtes have not
forced them to keep IN touch with
what they learned in college,
whether they remember their
youthful knowledge or it has been
of service to them ard they will
very likely tell you, no. The
merchant graduate of ten years

If appropriations are made by
the legislature for instruction, the
common schools, first of all should
be provided for; colleges are for
the few, schools for the many.
The chronological school should,
however, be most literally sup
