nIAz TO M,KINLEY.

The exchange of kilograms between the
president of the republic of Mexico VII
be read with interest and pleasure by all
who esteem the great man at present at
the head of Mexican affairs at anything
like his true worth.
Porfirio Diaz Is one Of the most remark
able men of his age. A warrior and
statesman of the first rank, he can be
said to have rescued his native land al
most singie-handed from domestic tur-
MOL and foreign enslavement. For years
he fought the battle Of his countrys lib
critics at such odds as would daunt any
man not inspired by an unquenchable
faith in his native land and it's people.
His life while in the field as soldier is
a romance. His work in the council
chamber as civil administrator is a rev.
elation.
AS far as it has been at all consistent
with the interests of the Mexican people
Diaz has introduced American methods
and American standards. There is no
land on either hemisphere where life or
property is more secure than it is in the
republic of Mexico under the rule Of
President Diaz. His expressed esteem
for the president Of the sister republic IS
no mere lip adulation. He never speaks
what he does not mean. He loves the
American people and admirers their form
of government and their political institu-
tons. While he has not had from this
country any substantial aid in his great
work of civil organization, he owes much
to 1t for the example which its people
and its civil institutions offer to him.
He is not only the liberator of Mexico
but he is it's wisest citizen. He is as near
an approach to the example of our own
Washington as this age has produced.
The expression of respect and esteem
Of such man for the executive of this
people is worth infinitely more than any
mere formal expression of good will such
as diplomatic necessity may impose upon
nations and their rulers in their relations
toward each other.

Few State Contests This Year and
Most of Them of Local Importance.
There will be fewer state elections in
the present year than in any other year
since the close of the Civil War, and few
Of them are of more than local import
ance, says the New York Sun.
The Republicans Of Iowa have called
their state nominating convention to
meet at Cedar Rapids on Aug. II. A
governor and some other important Off
GERS are to lie nominated and there has
been some talk CT the nomination of E.
H. Conger, American minister to China.
ty the Republicans. Mr.. Conger is an
Iowa man. and Republican nomination
in the Hawkeye state is equivalent to an
election nowadays and has been so since
the settlement of the prohibition question
there and the consequent retirement Of
Horace Roies from the field of political
activity.
There will be an election for governor
of Ohio and there is already substantial
agreement upon the candidates. George
X Nash, Republican, Is to be nominated
for reelection, and James Kilbourne is
the prospective Democratic nominee.
There will be an election for governor
i'll Virginia in which state the term is
four years, and it will be the first held
under the terms of the new constitution
to he agreed upon at the June convention
in Richmond Under this constitution
Virginia Republicans will have still less
chance Of success than they have had at
any time heretofore.
Maasac husetts will hold It's annual cleo
ton with the same certainty of the choice
of Republican state ticket that Vir-
ginia offers to the Democrats.
There will be a state election in Mary
land at which the officers to be chosen
will be comptroller, clerk of the state
court of appeals, n;nety-eight members
of the house Of delegates, thirteen Sena-
tors and a large number of county off,
GERS.
Still another of the states to hold an
election this year will be New Jersey, in
which a successor to Gov Voorhees, will
be voted for The record Of recent cleo
tons gives the Republicans very little
apprehension as to the result in what has
now become one of the strongest Repub-
lican states in the country. All the pres
ent state officers in New Jersey arc Re-
publcans, and the last legislature had
Republican majority of thirteen in the
senate and thirty in the assembly, there
being only four Democrats in the former
and only fifteen Democrats in the latter.
IN Pennsylvania the Republican gov
ernor of which holds over until after the
election of 1902 there will be a state cleo
ton for state treasurer and for supreme
court judge
In the other Western states there will
be no elections in 1901, except to fill local
minor Offices; there will he none in the
South, except in Virginia and none in
the Middle West or the Northwestern
states, except in Ohio. BY degrees the
number of state elections has been, by
sundry political changes in constitutions
or election laws, reduced and in New
York there Will be no state election this

to men and things which might other

HELP FOR ksoNyILLE.

While yet the American people are en-
oeavoring to alleviate the sufferings CT
the people of Galveston, resulting from
the awful calamity which overwhelmed
that community, the intelligence come s
of disaster happening TO the people Of
Jacksonville, Fla, which while it does
not involve anything like corresponding
loss Of life or physical suffering, is al
most as completely destructive of the
worldly possessions of those affected as
was the storm to the people of the Texas
coast.
The response on even the brief requisi-
ton made shows that the heart of the
country responds just as generously as
ever to the call for aid. We are not
wont to associate the thought of Ameri-
can energy with communities such as
Jacksonville; but before the work of re-
pairing the awful damage done is COM
country will have furnished to it an
other instance of what great results may
be accomplished by an indomitable peo-
pie, aided by the sympathy and practical
assistance of those around them
OF course the work of relieving the i'm
mediate and pressing necessities of the
hour must be made to rest on the COM
munities near by. The other cities and
towns Of Florida will do that work no
doubt in manner quite adequate to
the occasion, at least until the re-
sources Of the richer and more remote
communities are made available. But
when the question of hunger and thirst
and exposure is settled for the people of
the burned district, so that all danger
of immediate suffering has passed away,
there will still be the one of how best
to aid the sufferers in the great work
which is before them of Building I'D
their fortunes anew and res .oring bust
ness energies and business property
which have received so stunning a blow
in the recent fire. This work is one to
be discharged as is usual in such cases,
by the benefcent spirit of the people Of
the several American communities. Be-
fore these words are read in print it is
fair to assume from all PAST experience,
from the disaster at Johnstown, Pa, to
that Of Galveston, Tex, that the means
will be pouring in upon the people Of
Jacksonville which will enable them to
take up with strong hearts the work of
rebuilding their broken fortunes.
Such a calamity as this which has de-
stroyed most of the business and resi-
dental property of Jacksonville may at
any moment overwhelm the people Of
any American city. such cities as Chi
cago and Boston and New York have
realized from time to time what terrible
results may ensue from the ravages Of
fire. The fellow feeling Which makes
Us all wondrous kind should be invoked
in this case, so that the devoted people
of jacksonville may have their great
burden made as light as possible through
the generous giving of their sister Amer
lean communities.

In which he sets forth the advantage
which the community derives from these
