by Don Manuel Alegre is that the Mex jeans should quickly saxonize them selves. They must throw aside the Latin and Indian ideas that have stood in the way of their rapid commercial development and realize that the world is changing: that old methods must be displaced, for the reason that the inva- sions that take place under industrial conditions may frequently be quite as effective in the ultimate conquest of a race as the race invasions which for merly swept from Asia over the greater part of Europe.
 As it is not at all probable that the Mexicans will be able to take Senor Alegre's advice we may look for the continued and rapid absorption of good things in Mexico by enterprising United States men. And perhaps in time it may happen that Mexico will be ab- sorbed.

MORE EXPANSION.

Not only are the people, the enter prise and the money of the United States overfiowing into Canada, but they are also invading Mexico. The Boston Herald has competent corre- spondent in the City of Mexico, and he writes that the extension of the sphere of influence of United States business men in Mexico is attracting the atten- ton of some of the ablest Mexicans, and in his letter he gives the sugges- tion made by one of the more far-sight - ed of these as to the best way of meet ing the possible dangers which this in- vasion may bring. Already American investments in Mexico are estimated to amount to between $500, ,O0O, 900 and $7OO,- O00, ,000, and not week passes that does not add materially to the amount of American capital that finds employment in some industrial enterprise south of the Rio Grande river. It is evident, as years go by, that American investors will have possession of the greater part of the industries and natural resources of that country. The suggestion made

gEW JERSEYS PRIMARY LAW.

The direct nomination law which has just been adopted in New Jersey is in- teresting in that it attempts to preserve the convention, though preventing the manipulation of delegates by the bosses. Under the law candidates for places as delegates to conventions are to announce themselves substantially as provided for candidates for elective offices. Their names are placed on an official ballot. printed at the expense and under the direction of the State, and if he chooses to do so the candidate for delegate may have printed opposite his name on the
 primary ballot the name of the person for whom he intends to vote in the con- vention. The authors of the law believe that under these provisions the actual
 contests between rival candidates for nominations will take place in the prim- ary rather than in the convention, the
 latter becoming useful chiefly for the
 purpose os adopting a party platform and formally recording the decision of the primaries.
 It will be interesting to see how this
 law works. There are imaginable cases
 in which 1t might not work according to the theory of it's authors.

sLoW, BUT STILL gN THE RING.

The Cleveland boom doesn't seem to be quite as lively and interesting as it has been, but it is still in the ring. MT. Cleveland has written to the editor of the, Athens (Georgia) Banner that at no time since the close of his last administration has he been desirous of carrying the Democratic banner for the fourth time in a presidential con- test. And it appears that many who call themselves Democrats are not de- sirous that he should carry said ban ner again. For instance, only three members of the national Democratic committee can be found who will ex- press an opinion favorable to the re- nomination of MT. Cleveland. Seven teen of the members declare them selves strongly against the proposition, and the members from eight States and territories are non -committal-- Maine, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Della ware, Ohio, Michigan, Arkansas and New Mexico. Thomas Taggart, the h. diana member, thus talks: "The rank and file of the party are not for Cleve- land and his nomination could not be forced upon the party. But even if his nomination could be brought about he could not be elected. for he couldn't poll the full vote of the party in the States it must carry to elect a presi- dent. I don't regard his nomination or his election as among future political possibilities.
 Of course this opposition may not really mean much. MT. Cleveland has been nominated before when he appar- ently wasn't popular with the Demo- cratic managers. It is evident that those who are pushing him don't mean to say die till they have to. They say now that MT. Cleveland is and ought to be loved for the enemies he has made just as he used to be.

HOW TO SAY IT.

The discussion of the pronunciation of the Presidents name goes learnedly on, and by the end of bis next term the knowledge of the true pronunciation may be generally disseminated and partly utilized. The latest pronuncia- mento on the subject worth attention is from Robert B. Roosevelt, a relative of the President, who writes thus to the | New York Sun: The word "Roos" means rose and is pronounced in iden Etically the same way under all circum- stances and in all combinations. So the | first syllable of the Presidents name is | Rose pure and simple. But the fol- lowing ''e,' like the short German 'e," or like the silent French e." when read
 in poetry is slightly aspirated. An
 English analogy is the word 'the," a word that our chairman must have
 come across in his reading and speech
 culture" It is not pronounced at all as
 it is spelt, not like ''thee,' but with a sort of ''th' " and breath stopped by the tongue on the teeth. So the name
 is Rose (uh) welt"
 This looks reasonable, and though it
 will be a setback for those who have
 been proudly speaking of Roswell" or
 "Rosavelt' it will have to stand if it is
 right. We believe the President doesn't
 pronounce the name exactly as Robert
 does, but perhaps he doesn't know as much about it as Robert does. Robert
 has evidently studied t deeply.

The Inch Before the Saw.

Only from day to day
 The life Of a wise man runs; What matter if seasons far away Have gloom or have double suns? To climb the unreal path, We stray from the roadway here; We swim the rivers of wrath, And tunnel the hills of fear. Our feet on the torrents brink, Our eyes on the clouds afar, We fear the things we think, Instead of the things that are. Like a tide our work sould rise Each later wave the best; To-day Is q king in disguise, To-day is the special test. Like a sawyer's work is life; The present makes the flaw, And the only field for strife Is the inch before the saw.

"A curious difficulty has arisen at Llandudno, Wales, where the lessee of a theater had undertaken to produce a historical drama written and performed in Welsh. The play is based on the career of the last native prince of Wales. The company had concluded the final dress rehearsal and Welshmen were looking forward to the reproduc- tions of Welsh life and language of six centuries ago. when the British censor of plays stepped in. His protest was that he cannot license play which he cannot understand. So "Llewelyn ein Llyw Olaf' (that is it's title) is hung up. As over a million inhabitants of Great Britain understand and speak Welsh it is believed that the censor can. if he will. get some idea of what the play is ..

Another croupier was discovered to have a sort of funnel under his collar, which ran down to money-belt. Every now and then he would scratch his neck and every time he did so the bank lost francs.

The appearance of the boil weevil in Cuba is regarded by experts as putting at an end for good whatever hope there may once have been of raising cotton on that island. In Texas the fight against this destructive insect is a hard one, but in Cuba it would be hopeless. In Texas the cold weather checks their spread every year, and thus allows the cotton growers to keep them in check. Tn Cuba, where there is no cold wealth CT, the weevil would flourish the year round. It is recalled that a hundred years ago the cotton industry of Cuba was destroyed beyond all hope by this same insect.
