ago. referred to Mexico as "the
worlds future treasure house," and
It is. Her silver mines are among the
richest In the world. Gold, too,
abounds. Copper is constantly adding
TO her wealth, so, too. lead and zinc.
These, with iron, are the leading pro-
duets of her marvellous mines.
Capital has gone in by the millions.
Figures fairly reliable put the amount
invested up to date at fully a billion.
Some put the figures above a billion.
Could colonists be coaxed into the
country as easily as capital has been
secured, the future of Mexico might
surpass that of any country on this
side, the United States not excepted.
The output of the mines last year
is put by experts at about $3.50, ,000,-
600 (Mexican). OF this vast sum gold
yielded $16,25O,OOO, silver s54,5O0.-
600, The yield of copper was $4,000
tons With copper at 25 cents a pound
this meant millions; so, too, the 7S,-
900 tons of lead.
Steadily year after year the output
keeps increasing The wasteful meth
DDS of other years are fast giving way
to modern methods that are making
by-products pay expenses. One group
o. mines-the Zacatecas-has yielded
a billion dollars. All, nearly $5,000,-

in sight, but like many of the mines
of this country only a beginning has
been made.

will measure the possibilities present.

THE HUMAN PLEA.

Day;
Wait till finish my Hour of Play;
Only an hour, dear day, will you walt ?
I'll play fast, as the hour is late"
But the sun went down and the
Clock of the Years
Heard not the pleading of Boyhood's
tears.
And the tasks and the toys ard the
high hopes lay
Where their master left them and
went away.

sped by.
"only year for my Plans and

But the sun burned low In the crim-
son West
And swiftly and surely the Clock of
Fate
Struck for the Night that would not
wait!
And there. with his masterful arms
all bare
With the light of Toll in face most
fair
His plans in chaos, ali incomplete,
His labor fallen in wreck at his feet
The Man who yearned for a longer
day
Folded his hands and went his way!
Wait" plead the Pilgrim. falterlng

zone more flush from the golden
dawn;
One more hour for my eyes to view
The gladsome earth and the azure

Sweet is the life that is burning low;
Pleasant the Path, tho the steps are
slow.
Then strange and far, like a call in
the night,
The Clock of the Ages tolled with
might.
But the soul Of the Pilgrim, lingering
late.
Like the soul of the Boy and the Man,

THE 'CoRELEss APPLE.

The so-called seedless apple, which
originated in Colorado and was wide
ly heralded last year as a revolution
airy achievement. is considered by
many eastern hortlculturists who have
tasted 1t to be practically worthless,
as it Is small, of poor color and flavor
and is not free from the troublesome
core.
Every generation has been treated
to a similar sensation. Dozens of
seedless apples have been described,
but they have never amounted to any,
thing 1t has been claimed that a
seedless and coreless apple could
never be bred and that an apple would
be no better for lacking seeds If the
core remained.
According to Mr.. ]. Colt Eliot, in
the Cornell Countryman. an apple
from a mixed lot, and therefore un-
traceable, was found and examined

ALCHEMY.

Out of the songs of frailest birds,
Out of the winds that veer,
My soul has winnowed deathless
words
OF faith and hope and cheer
Out of the passing stars of night,
And waning suns of day,
Ny soul has woven robes Of light
That shall not fade away!
Out of the lowering clouds above,
And out of storm and stress,
My soul has gathered dews of love
And golden happiness.
out of its travail like the sea, .
Out of the breath of dust,
My soul has shaped Infinity,
And made itself august!

He describes the apple as a medi-
um sized Baldwin, Of a good quality
and without blemish OF any kind. 1t
permitted the knife to pass through
its center as though It were made Of
cheese. There was not sign of core
or seeds. II the frultgrower on whose
tree this apple was borne had known
of its presence and had propagated
the buds from that particular twig the
results might have been valuable.
1t is fortunate that this apple fell
into the hands Of horticultural stu
dents who are able to testify to the
facts on record.

CATHOLIC GROWTH.

Very interesting statistics as to the
progress Of the Catholic faith In
Switzerland have just been published
in one of the Catholic papers Of that
country, says the Catholic Sentinel
of Portland.
At the. beginning Of the 18th CEN
tury the Catholics Of the Helvetian
republic numbered little more than
400 900. Their number today is l.
400, ,O0O-that is to say, the augmen-
tation in century has been million,
or at the rate Of 10000 year.
DR.. Buomberger, who has made this
enumeration, attributes the increase
largely to immigration from the
neighboring French departments, from
Alsace- Lorraine and from Italy He
adds the interesting detail that the
number of births in Catholic families
Is much larger than in Protestant.

IMMUNITY BATHS.

Under the above caption the San
Francisco Chronicle very pertinently
says:
The policy adopted in this city Of
letting the least prominent evildoer
SO free in exchange for testimony cal
culated to convict the most prominent
seems to be the settled policy of the
United States government
In the case of the rebates on oil
shipments for which the celebrated
fine was inflicted on the Standard
Oil company, the Chicago & Alton
railroad was an equal participant in
the crime; but the Standard Oil mag
mates are popularly supposed to have
more money apiece than the owners
of the Chicago & Alton railroad, and
their prosecution would attract more
attention.
Consequently the railroad company
got the immunity bath and the Stand
ard Oil company got the big fine.
1t seems to be just now the policy
in all parts of the country to sacri-
flee everything else to secure the con-
viction of rich men.
1t is doubtless often essential in
! certain classes of cases to grant inn
munity to one participant in crime
to secure conviction of his partner in
guilt.
The objection to that method as
practiced in this city and elsewhere
is that it is too one-sided.
Our bribed supervisors are morally
more degraded men than those who
bribed them.
Except for the bribery the latter
are very decent citizens.
Most of the supervisors were con-
temptible and degraded in every way.
There is a good deal of feeling that
the dishonors should have been di-
vided; that indictments should have
been filed in pairs-one briber and
one bribed.
1t was not necessary to give ali the
supervisors immunity for the purpose
of indicting all those even most re-
riotely connected with giving the
bribes.
Most of the indictments will never
be tried for sheer lack of time and
strength.
If a man is convicted of one of
the indictments against him and goes
to states prison it is morally certain
that nothing will be done about the
dozen other indictments.
1t is general opinion that the pros
ecution has shown unnecessary and
improper favoritism in piling up in
dictments against everybody connect
ed with paying the bribes, with not
the slightest attempt to even make a
rotten supervisor dlsgorge any of his
loot.
Examples should be made at least
of selected specimens Of both classes.

who now need his assistance in bust
ness.
We believe Mr.. Jennings has been
having a little quiet fun TO himself
all this time. 1t is easy to imagine
his secret amusement over the dis
cussion of his qualities, praise of his
fitness for the Office and assertions,
followed by contradictions, that he
would be the administration candi-
daet. 1t locks like a huge joke.
The Times-Union offers The Pensa-
cola Journal its sincerest condolences
Plat paper has Zealously supported
Mr.. Jennings, has assured the rest OF
the state so often that he would sure
~ run, was just on the point of de-
claring himself, etc, that it must
feel sorely disappointed. We await
the adoption of another Favorite Son
by our esteemed contemporary which
never leaves us in doubt as to where
it stands.
Has West Florida another candi-
date? If not, there is plenty of time
to work up enthusiasm for another.
The Journal did not ask and does
not require any Of its Jacksonville
contemporary condolences, nor does
it feel any regret over it's support of
Mr.. Jennings for governor 1t does
regret that the people of Florida will
not have the opportunity to vote for
Mr. Jennings
And we may add further that one
of the chief attractions in connection
with Mr.. Jennings as a gubernatorial
candidate was the fact that he, in all
probability, would not have been en-
numbered with the support of such
papers as the Tfmes-Union. 1t is
perfectly in keeping with that papers
politics and policies to attempt to dis
credit Mr.. Jennings by attacking his
sincerity, and nothing more could be
or would be expected of it.
It's gratuitous fling at West Florida
and at Mr.. Jennings's friends here,
as well as elsewhere in the state, Is
also in keeping with the Times
Unions attitude toward everything
and everybody who does not wear a
corporation collar.
Let us say, however, that if West
Florida does not produce a candidate
for governor it will not be because
OF any lack Of good gubernatoriaI
timber over this way, and whether
she does or not, this section of the
state to which the Times-Union re-
ters with such evident contempt will
be both heard and felt in the selec-
uon OF a man for that exalted po-
sition.

if the tremendous injustice expressed
by this fine of nearly S3O;000,eeO is
thus fairly and equitably measured,
then is it a fasco, if there be nothing
more in the way of punishment.
Ninety days in Jail, on jail fare of
bread and water, and the swing hypo-
critics who are now being punished
by mutching their millions wearing
stripes, and thereafter to be peculiarly
branded as criminal malefactors
would serve for public ADVANTAGE in
calculably better.
Assuming this fine to be warranted

prison stripes, would have been of
greater public value.
That Judge Lands so believes, after
the exhaustive trial and the SUISSE
quent investigation of ali that the
trust and the railroad could exhibit
in mitigation and eXtenuation, is best
attested by the strenuous words IN
which he denounced from the bench
those personally responsible for the
evil practices proved, and by the fact
that he deplored in his decision the
fact that the law did not permit him
to punish more severely than by
merely filming the corporation.
