Chicago, Dec. 25.-The grand jury yes

James w. Nye, the foreman, says:
I'VE find that for several months ire
sponsible organizations have been Great

property and defying the law. We have
found that ordinary subpoenas and sub
poenas duces tecum made forthwith and
issued by this court have been evaded.
1T is public report that at present in
this city houses of worship and houses OF
mourning are made the scenes Of disorder
by men calling themselves union pickets.

Of finance, Jose Limantour, in charge
of affairs of state and confirm him, If
he finds that Limantour shows ability
to take up the progressive work In
which he himself has been engaged.
Limantour is unquestionably a very
able man. He has managed the
finances of the republic under the
handicap Of the slump in silver and
the pressure of foreign creditors with
wisdom. Whether he is able to handle
the governmental machine of the
benevolent despotism which Diaz es-
tablished is another matter. If he
comes up to the Diaz standard, there
would seem to be every reason to in
duce Diaz to retire. He has wrought
such transformation in Mexico, indeed,
that there is far less of the revolution
ary spirit than formerly. Mexicans

hope that their country is not to re-
turn to the former anarchy Of diurnal
revolutions, which were characterized
by such acts of the swashbucklers as
the robbery of the Monte de Piedad,
which has always been the source
from which the common people of
Mexico obtained their loans, and the
plunder of the national palace to get
means with which to arm their fol-
lowers.
Mexico is becoming reticulated with
railway lines, and the man who con-
trolls the army, as Diaz has thruout his
whole remarkable career, can move his
men conveniently to every revolution
ary point and suppress uprising much
easier than Diaz did in the earlier
period of his administration.
Diaz has established the credit of
Mexico abroad; has reduced and con-
solidated the public debt, and is de-
veloping the magnificent resources Of
the country thru the introduction of
foreign capital, chiefly American, and
has industrially developed the land, so
that Mexican industry snot confined
to the production of pulque and tor
tillas as formerly, but is concerned
with the larger possibilities of labor
saving machinery of the modern day.
Altho Diaz was not particular as to
methods of accomplishing his pro-
grams, and established himself as die
tator in 1876 by force, he should re-
ceive the highest honors from his
countrymen, if he retires, as the liber-
ator of Mexico from chaos pulling her
out of quagmire to firm ground and
making respected nation of her.

Even if Tim Murphy had not repeated
last night before the curtain the story
about "woman's exchange that he re-

all listeners. The Christmas Eve audi

Murphy out after two previous acts, had
welcomed him again as personal friend
as one Of the few American actors of
the day whose genial personality and un-

many recent outbreaks in various
parts of our country, causes many to
tremble as to the future of our race.
We must not lose hope or become dis
cOuraged. We have never had more
sincere and substantial friends, who
believe that there is bright and glor-
iOus future before us. A most strik-
ing instance was eXemplified last week,
when Mr.. Schawb, the great steel mag
nate and millionaire, gave twenty
white young ladies and one cOlOred
lady, Miss Posey, of the Homestead
Industrial school, a week outing, chap

contributed greatly in making their
outing a pleasant one and faithfully
and well discharged the duty imposed
upon them as bellmen. Mr.. Ray, there
fore, is to be greatly commended for
so just a recognition of his manhood
and it is to be confidently hoped that
other Schawbs will rise up and recog
nize the fact that the color of the skin,
or the texture of the hair are not true
trade marks of a gentleman.
Elaborate preparations have been
made for the Bellman's musical and
reception, and everything is nearly
cOnsumated to make it a glorious af-
air, on the 10th of July.

day evening and the audience was
treated to a rare literary treat. Mr..

recited one of Dunbar's famous poems
and one to be especially commended.
The gem of the occasion was the speak
er of the evening, in the person of
Rev. VIM. F. Ireland, D. D., of Phila-
delphia, whose wide and various ex-
periences of life enabled him to see
clearly the evils and adngers confront
ing our young people. His subject
was From stage to Pulpit, prefacing
his remarks, however, on the recent
Iynching in Delaware. We have no
right TO take life, no matter what
crime one has committed; we have no
right to take life which God has given,
