HOW MEXICANS LIVE.
Peculiar Customs Noted by Visitors
from the States.
Light Breakfast Taken by InhHbi-
tants of Our Sister Republic
Food of the Working PeO-
pie Is Very Plain.

The Mexican breakfast, like that
of the French, consists only of bread
and coffee. Lunch and dinner, or
dinner and supper, as they are call
ed, differ but slightly. Dinner is
served usually about o'clock. 1t
begins with soup and eggs, and then
follow a number of meats, each
served as a separate course, with an
entire change of service every time.
The meats are eaten quite alone,
few vegetables being served in ad-
ditiOn to the salad course, and such
as are used for garnishment. The
dessert courses at a Mexican table
differ even more radically from those
served on American tables. Home
made pies, cakes and puddings are
practically unknown.
The Mexican housewife, says Mod
ern Mexico, pays comparatively lit
tie attention TO the kitchen, and
rarely cooks anything herself. If
pastry is desired, it is purchased at
the dulceria. Nothing is baked in
Mexican house, even the bread being
universally bought from bakers.
Mexican cooks DO not, as a rule, un-
derstand pastry making, and their
sweets are limited to stewed fruits,
usually cooked to the consistency Of
the richest and sweetest preserves,
so that very small portion is salts
flying.
Business hours in Mexico begin in
the afternoon at 2:3O or 3 o'clock,
and run until or S in the evening,
so that the supper hour falls any
where from $3.50 to an hour later.
This is probably one reason that
Mexicans are not more given to even
ing entertainments. Attendance up
on the theater entails the necessity
of an unusually early supper, or else
in pOstpOnement until after the per-
fOrmance, a thing that often occurs.
On the oher hand, a leisurely sup

would be over "A if he were elected
and served To the end of his term.
Not one of the great political par
ties, says Mr.. StanwOOd. has ever
elected or nominated man so old
as Mr.. Olney will be in 1904. The
oldest man ever elected president
was William Henry Harrison. who
was 67 in 1910. Jackson was 65 when
elected the second time. Buchanan
was 65 the year of his nomination
and Taylor was "a. Henry Clay was
81 when he was candidate in 1874,
Gen. Scott was 67 when he ran in
1852, and Cass was "a when he ran
in 1S4S. There is no precedent for
a presidential candidate of 90, and
politicians are as much guided by
precedents as lawyers are.
Mr.. Stanwood says Mr.. Blaine told
him in 1892 when he was 62 that he
no longer desired to be president; he
had reached a time of life when he
craved rest. when the American
people elect a president" said Mr.
Blaine, they require him to remain
awake four years. l need my sleep"
The American people make more de-
mands upon the time and energies of
their chief magistrate than they did
in the quiet days of the first presi-
dents. 1t is doubtful whether the
average man put in the White house
at the age of 90 would live through
his term if he tried TO do all that
was expected of him. Lord Sails
bury at the age of Y has resigned
the premiership because he no longer
feels equal to the discharge of its
duties.
The mental and physical strain to
which an American president is SUBJ
jected is increasing. The office is
not one for men who have to nurse
a strength weakened by the insidious
approaches of old age. There doubt
less are exceptional men of 90 who
are able TO stand a four years siege
of constant work and worry, but
political party will be quite excus-
able if it declines to look for them
and gives preference to younger men.
The age limitation which excludes
Mr.. Olney, says the Chicago Tribune,
will not be objected TO by David
Bennett Hill, who is only SO. 1t will
not affect Arthur p. German, who
is a little over 63. 1t will not be diff
ficult for the democrats to find a
candidate who has not lived up to
the maximum limit of 67 wears.

oLNEY BARRED BY AGE.
WHY the Democratic Party Is Not
Likely to Nominate Him IOr the
Presidency ia 1904.

When some Memphis democrats let
Richard Olney know that they would
like to see him the presidential
nominee of the party he told them
he did not wish to be considered a
candidate. He gave no reason for
his unwillingness to respond to their
kind advances. In a letter to a New
York paper Edward Stanwood says
Mr.. Olney could have pleaded his
age as an all sufficient reason why
he should not be considered in con-
nection with the presidency. In 1904

Ross. But little was heard of the
matter until the wise gentlemen re
turned from Oyster Bay, when it
leaked out thatsaid representatives
had made their little speeches on
the cars and along the public high
ways. but when near the sanctum
of the sage of Oyster Bay. they
were told that only invited guests

tourists had better return whence
they came and mind their own bus

not voueh fer every thing we have
heard; but if we are to accept re-
suits as an indication, we opine that
there is some truth in the rumors.
1t has ever been thus with some
swell heads. They presume to be

without any sort of credentials and
demonstrating the least mOdicum
of common sense they push the
selves. forward as the "Only people'

if consulted would have laughed at

becoming nauseOus and disgusting.
1t indicates bad breeding and re
fleets no credit upon the race but
rather stamps US az a superficial if
not impud ent people. Had the peo
pie selected these men to represent
them, some common sense would
have been shown in arranging a
meeting with the President. Had
the delegates then been snubbpd, it
would probably have been regard
ed as an insult to the race. But
when self constituted social and
political leaders presume to force
themselves upon the President with
bogus credentials or no credentials
at all, we certainly can not take It e
treatment as an insult. but applaud
the President and congratulate our
selves, II this sOr5 of t0m-foolery
can't be stopped any other way it
were well to have The Executive

these foolish men received is only
a fOretaste Of what is awaiting a

TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION.
Addlcks, the Proper Man.

NhC AOPSA
1t is q great misfortune that the
State of Dalewars should be With
out senatorial representation IN
the United States Congress. especi-
ally since tne whole affair of non
representation hinges on the matter
ofpersonallikes and dislikes. From
a local point of view the principal
contestant for Senatorial hOnOrs
Mr.. Addicks seems clearly entitled
to full term in the Senate. He is
an intensely ardent republican IN
great standing, has demonstrated
unusual organizing and executive
ability. has advanced to a very
high degree the material interests
of Delaware and is in line with the
principles and policy of the Rspub-
lican party. The worst that can be
said of Mr.. Addicks is that he is
persistant and favors no oOmprO-
misses. He is seeking the Office as
he has a perfect right to do and is
encouraged and appointed by a
majority of the leading republicans
of the State. All sorts Of offers
have been rendered to those Oppos-
ing Mr. Addicks, notably, one sug-
gesting that as a concession for
electing Mr.. Addicks, the majority
will abide by the suggestions of the
minority, giving them one Senator
and other offices OF Importance. In
view of the customs of parties, this
is a most liberal offer and should
be accepted by those concerned.
But the outcome is still in doubt.
The few are still holding out against
the many simply because of the
peculiar conditions in the legisla-
ture. There are many reasons why
Mr. Addicks should be elected. In
the first place, he is the choice of
the majority of the republicans of
the state. He is thorough party
man and possesses large business
experience Again he should be
elected for the moral effect it would
have on the party in the State, his
election demonstrating that not
withstanding personal piques and
ambitions, party organization can
be kept III tact and the rule of the
majority maintained. Moreover
there are interests peculiarly affect
ing Delaware which should be look
ed after, while the republican force
in the Senate should be straight
ened by every legitimate accession
IN order that measures may be pass
ed the Senate for which the repub-
lican party may receive sole and full
credit. Much has been said about
the short comings of colored citi-
zens, but this failure on the
part of republicans in Delaware to
elect two Senator'S when they have
the organization aud quite sufficient
votes to secure them. We hope that
the colOred people of Delaware will
demand the election of Addicks
and the acceptance of such favora-
bic arrangements as will secure 8
good, sound, liberAl-minded asso-
Ciate to serve with him. The coun-
try is looking fer some sort of solu-
tiOn of the embrogiio and tits hoped
that Addieks and the regular or
ganiz iJiOn will be successful.
