A rLsLT FROM MEILcO1

No Mexican President in his term of office
has ever paid n visit to the United States but
now close friends Of President Daz on both
sides OF the border are urging him earnestly 10
make IA journey in this country 1t IS to be
hoped that lie will consent The relations OF
the two republics are those of the heartiest
friendship, and a statesman of so remarkable n
character and career as those of the head of the
government of Mexico would receive such a
welcome should lie cross the Rio Grande as
could not fail to crafty him exceedingly.
Great things he has done for his own people
He brought order out of chaos in the earliest
years Of his authority, and peace in place of
disorder, and enforced the laws so vigorously
that rebels, bandits and dangerous men of all
classes and parties found that he was not to be
trified with. To him is largely due the ad-
