A REPUBLIC OF PIGS
 THE AMERICAN NATION
Revolutionist Magon Complains of the UninfIammabe Character of the Gringos.

Mexico City, Aug. 6.-The Mexican
 Herald today says: A cipher letter from the avowed Mexican revolutionist Ricardo Flores Magon, still in prison in Los Angeles, to his brother, Enrique at EIPaso, fell into the hands of the authorities at the time of the recent arrests in Fl PasO. The interesting document has been forwarded to Mex ico City and translated. The plan was to incite thousands of factory hands near the city of Orizaba to destroy the big cotton mills and capture the city.
 Speaking of American intervention in case the revolutionists succeeded, the l etter translated reads We thought much over a possible 'GringO' invasion owing to the revolution. It must be remembered that it has been decided not to circulate a revolution ary manifesto for the precise reason that Diaz, may prepare himself. and we may be able to catch him unpre- pared. As regards Roosevelt, even should he not invade he would send troops to the frontier and we would miss the realization of a part of our plan not being able to smuggle com rades from this nation, such as vari- oUs groups in Texas. But that is not all. With the American people organ ized, the workmen of an uninflam- mable character, who are not suscepti- ble to agitation, only the unions of Fl PasO took action. Beyond this, with the exception of Pasadena, there has been nothing of a sympathetic sort such as a formal campaign In our behalf.
 Here and there from time to time paragraphs appeared in labor and so- cialist papers, but there has been no real campaign in our favor in spite of the fact that the collusion of the two governments is fragrant.
 ''The Americans are incapable of feeling enthusiasm and indignation. This is really republic of pigs. Some time the Gringos may attack us. So, if it be when the people are in rebel lion against Diaz, it will precipitate the fall of the dictator because the people see Roosevelt is clearly allied to Diaz to enslave us, to lose our autonomy"

Mr Bryan attempts to prove that the labor blanks of his platform do not concern business men in any way, yet in the making of the plat form they were regarded as the most essential features. At this rate, Mir. Bryan may succeed by next No vember in proving that no plank of the platform concerns anybody and that the platform as a whole is of no importance.

Having got his bearings, Editor Watterson, chairman of the Bryan newspaper committee, springs into the campaign with great gusto. He begins with a fusilade of French, to- wit: Tive la France! Vive la Re publiquei Vive Thiers ct Gambetta." l" Then, by easy stages, an appeal for money is reached. Contribute ten dollars, five dollars, one dollar, fifty cents. Send it to the Courier Jour nal, and send it now. There is no time to wait for the singing of the doXOlogy before passing the plate" Names of contributors will be pub lished or not as they wish. And so on, all for the glory and success of the cause of Bryanism. The exhorta- tion is eloquent, and it is to be hop ed that the members of Colonel Wat terson's congregation understand French. How much cash they will cough up, in an effort to get what they don't want and can't have, is a question yet to be answered.

A TOWER OF SILENCE.

Day before yesterday Chairman people from all parts of the country who had come to see him regarding the national campaign and the sit uation in New York. There was some curiosity if not anxiety after the conference to know what Mir Hitchcock had said. The news gath ering agencies learned that he had offered neither advice nor sugges- tion. Throughout the conferences in which he was necessarily the prin- cipal figure he acted, it was stated, 'in the capacity of a listener"
 We fear that MT. Hitchcock is go- ing to be less of an asset to the news gatherers within the next two and a half months than he will be to the republican party. He lacks the qualifications of rainbow chaser the god send to reporters and correspondents.
 A Washington correspondent lately said of the tactiturn chairman: "A fair haired, broad six foot-thr animated tower of silence that makes the others, by. compari- son, seem like a lot of garrulous old men" If asked a question about even so trivial a subject as the weather he takes time and thinks deeply before answering. His smile is described as cautious, cold and fleeting, although he is always polite and never gives offense. Probably Hitchcock is too busy thinking most of the time to cultivate his conversa- tional powers. General Grant was not much of a talker, but he got there just the same" Everybody knows that Hitchcock is a good plan ner and has a way of making things come out right. A working cam paign, not a gabfest, is to be his part for nearly three months to come, and those who know him best think he is the right man for the job.

Grief and sympathy are not con- fined to the townsmen and coun- trymen of Count Zeppelin. The in trepid inventor seemed to come near CT to the conquest of the air than any of his predecessors. The sud- denness with which his great aero plane was destroyed magnifies the task with which aeronauts have been engaged for two centuries. Though the problem of dirigibility may be solved and it seemed to have been solved by Count Zeppelin, the neces- sarily fragile character of aerial craft makes their destruction liable and even probable.

BABY BOY DROWNED
IN A CEssPOOL

John Borgas Perreira, the five-year-
old son of Antoine Perreira of Aiapai
street was drowned yesterday after
noon in cesspOol in 3 neighbor's s
yard, the cover of which the child had
himself removed. The boy was play
ing in the yard by himself and his
tugging at the cover of the cesspool
was observed. 1t was not thought
possible that he could remove it, how
ever, and no attempt was made to
stop him. No one was around when he
managed to tug the cover loose, and
it is supposed that he fell in when the
cover finally came up. His dead body
was found an hour after he had been
last seen playing.
Deputy Sheriff Jarrett visited the
place last night and it is probable that
an inquest will be held.
