THE MEXICAN SUCCESSION.


On account of the proverbal instability
of South American republics and the excep.
tional condition OF Mexico under President
Diaz, any change in that government arouses
considerable interest. Besides, Mexico is
just now passing through deep waters of
finance on account OF the disastrous decline
in silver, and in the opinion of many pub
licists is approaching crisis in her none
tary AFFAIRS. And government finances often
involve politics Of a most pronounced kind.
Hence the news Of the resignation of Min,
lister of War Reyes, who has held the post
with marked ability, is received with some
apprehension, especially in view of his state
ment that he retires In ovder to avoid pos,
sible embarrassments in the cabinet due to
newspaper structures by one of his kins-
men upon Senior Limantour. minister OF
finance. The fact that the government
thought it discreet to issue note of ex,

concern in official circles.

SHORT STORIES FROM WASHINGTON.

Next to Colonel Bill Sterrett Of Texas. the
exams IN congress have more stories to tell OF
Colonel Bue than OF any other resident OF the
Lone Star State,
Bue man OF little education. but he had
been admitted to the bar and had wide repu-
tation as an orator. Once when he was making
speech in San Antonio he had occasion to refer
to the assassination of Julius Caesar This is
the way Colonel Tol described that historic trag-
edy to his audience
Caesar was walking down the streets Of Spain
one day when Brutus, with rtealthy tread, snuck
up behind him and plugged his knife between
Cfsars RIBS. Then Cesar completely taken by
surprise, turned Brutns and in tones Of
thunder said: rs that you, Brutus: You dirty

The Times says When James J. Hill was in

try and that it would he powerful enough to
make him win. The senator gave the reply 10

Trouble is brewing for the president in many

Mr.. Roosevelt must do or lose the support in the
next National convention of men like Senator
Pritchard, the lily Waite leader in North Caro-
! lima. Even now the prediction is made that two
years hence the president will get little support
from that quarter, that three-f ourths OF its dele

TARIFF REDUCTION BY TREATY

The signing Of the Cuban treaty by the
state departments OF Havana and Washing.
ton does not settle the matter by any means.
The agreement must run the gauntlet of
the United States senate like any other in.
ternational convention. and the senate is
VIGOROUSLY irreverent toward treaties uego.
tiated by Mr.. Hay
But this case will encounter another OBJ.
stacle, since the treaty carries a reciprocity
reduction Of the Dingley tariff-the identi-
cal reduction which the congress has al
ready rejected in the form OF revenue
bill
1t has always been an open question
whether revenue measure under the guise
Of treaty would be sound, since the con.
stitution specifically provides that revenue
acts shall originate IN the house of repre-
sentauves, Reciprocity Treaties have been
negotiated heretofore by the tolerance Of
the house and the Dngley act recognizes
the right OF the house by providing that
such treaties may be negotiated within two
years after the passage OF the act, but even
then after ratification by the senate they
must go to the house for final approval
It is therefore doubted, since the two
years period has elapsed. whether the presi.
dent has any authority for negotiating
such treaties beyond the general warrant of
the constitution which can hardly be con.
strued as covering revenue acts in treaty
disguise
The congress could doubtless adopt a
measure, as it did the Dingley act, recoguiz
ing the principle OF approval by the house
either in general resolution or in a specific
act on this case. But this procedure in
wolves the whole Cuban reciprocity proposal
and unless there has been a considerable
change OF opinion since the last session
there is little prospect of a successful con
clusion.
The project is opposed by the beet sugar
interests, by those who SEQ in it largel!
an act Of bounty to the American sugar trus
and by the advocates of Cuban annexation
all of whom from their respective points o
view will feel Justified in resisting it to the
utmost.
The subject is of great Importance fo
other reasons than the merits or demeritt
of Cuban reciprocity, for it involves the
broad question of the right OF the executiv,
and the senate to do indirectly what the!
may have failed to do directly. The cloal
of treaty or the prestige of an international
convention should not be employed to ef
feet a revenue act, nor should diplomats
agreements be complicated with taxation.
Is clearly against the spirit OF the consti
tuition and is dangerous power to put int,
the hands of the senate already so far re
moved from popular responsibility
Let all such measures take their regula
course and let diplomacy and taxation b.

president, that anything affecting the min.
istry, particularly at a critical juncture. must
be regarded in some degree as affecting the
government itself.
There is no reason to doubt that the ac.
tlon of General Reyes is based upon a pa
triotio desire for ministerial harmony as is
officially declared. but the fact that an
acceptable member OF the cabinet whose
official and personal conduct is represented
as blameless, must retire to prevent in.
ternal conflict and public disaffection only
adds weight to the gravity of the circum-
stance
1t must not be forgotten that Diaz himself
is a creature OF revolution and a real die.
tator under the title OF popular president
He was a dashing general in the war which
overthrow the Macmillan usurpation and
restored the constitutional republic under
the patriot jurist-president Benito Juaroz
the real Washington of modern Mexico
But the war was no sooner ended than Diaz
aspred 10 the presidency, and when de
feated he resorted to civil war to gain sue
cess. And then he caused the constitution
TO be changed TO perpetuate himself in Of
fee
His administration has been wise and he
is easily the first man Of his period. but his
methods have been more military than pop
ular, and he Is in effect the benehcent
dictator of an unstable people. Students OF
Mexican history generally agree that order
can no preserved in the republic only by
the same methods, and necessarily such
methods require the same discretion and
diplomacy. The question arises, is there an
other Diaz to whom the ambitious spirits OF
loyalty which Diaz has commanded? Or may
not conflicting aspirations, upon the occa
sion Of bis passing which must IN the ma
ture of things come in the near future, pro
woke the same civil strife by which he rose
to power?
1t has been often said that Diaz has picked
his successor and has been shaping public
sentiment and fixing the machinery O
power to insure his elevation, but there /;
no evidence that he has gone so far in de
tail. Much less is there reason to believe
that he could thus dispose of the office like
an absolute sovereign.
