Unrest in Mexico.

Latest developments indicate that
the political discomfort in Mexico is
more serious than at first supposed.
President DiaZ had so long maintained
peace and stability that it was taken
for granted there was no deep-seated
or widespread discomfort, but the re-
moval by the central authorities OF a
number Of state governors, many
chiefs of police and other officials
justifes the belief that such drastic
measures would not be taken for
trivial causes.
Even though the troubles In Mexico
should become much more serious
than now, it is not likely that this
country would be involved so far as to
bring an Intervention by the govern
ment. There is. however, so much
United States capital invested in Mex
leo and so many of our citizens resid-
ing in or engaged in business there
that the disturbances become a matter
OF concern. President Diaz is an old
man and not apt to live out another
presidential term. and II unrest
threatens revolution now It makes it
more dificult to ~foreteli what the re-
suit when he dies.
Aside from danger to American
financial interests the influence of the
Mexican uprising on other Spanish
American states will be bad. In its
efforts to bring about greater stability
in South and Central America, the
United States has pointed to the ex-
ample of Mexico and what peaceful
conditions had done for that country,
and it would be a severe reverse IL
Mexico should be held up to uS as in
contradiction.

Growth Of Public Expenditure.

From every civilized nation in the
world comes the complaint that gov
ernmental expenditures have greatly
increased. The annual budget of
Great Britain in 1890 was GS6,OO0,-
600 and for the current year $780,
100000. The German imperial ex-
pense bill has increased from $780,
0O0,0 in 1888 to 5000, 900, 900,
while the public debt Of Germany has
risen from nothing In 1870 to $1,000
600, 200. The French budget for 1897
called for $500, 100000 and the cur
rent budget demands 1906, 900, 900.
A few years ago, when the a%ppropria-
lions Of the United States congress
for the first time passed the $1,000
100000 mark. It was heralded as a
scandal and was made the rallying cry
Of the political opposition. Compared
with other nations the expenditures
of the United States are
but the country IS young and demands
greater sums for development, its
territory is more extensive and, like in
private life, the same things cost more
here because of our higher scale Of
living. The increased cost of govern
ment with us does not stop with the
federal administration, but is carried
down through the states, m1nicipali-
ties and school districts, and like con-
ditions prevail abroad.
The causes of the increase are not
dihicult to find. Common impulse
charges 1t all up to the era of mill
tarism which has seized the world and
from which no nation feels safe in
departing, The machinery of war
would cost vastly more than 1t did a
decade ago, ever though numerically
the army and navy were no larger.
Undoubtedly both in this country and
abroad military preparation accounts
for much, but there are other UNI
%avoidable reasons why government
costs more. Practically all the ma
lions are growing in population, II not
In territory, and this means added ex-
pense. But above II all Is the fact
that government today does more for
the citizen than eyer before. Govern
mental agencies have been multiplied
TO meet the more complex conditions
OF modern society and every year sees
some new activity to meet new de-
msnds, From this there is no pros
pective relief II governments are to
continue to fulfill their functions.

An Achievement of TelegraphY.

A remarkable development Of mod
ern utilities is the opening Of a direct
telegraph line from London, through
India, TO Burmah, Siam. A message
is transmitted the entire distance of
1870 miles without relaying, or at
least 1t can be and has been done. For
total number of miles of wire coupled
in one circuit the feat has been often
exceeded. notably when time" lie sent
all over the United States on one cir
cult every New Years midnight. The
new line. however, twice dips under
the sea, crosses mountains and goes
through dense forests and over
deserts, combating every degree OF
temperature from cold to tropical heat,
dense humidity and the aridity of the
desert. Such is the development in
the few years since Morse startled the
world by sending a message by electric
current from Baltimore to Washing
ton.
To Great Britain this telegraph and
cable connection means much more
than a triumph over natural condi-
lions. It is the first visible step In its
policy OF solidifying the empire by
bringing all parts OF It more closely
in touch with each other. There were
telegraph lines and cables before, but
they were roundabout, following the
former British plan of keeping the
means of communication solely within
British territory. While this answered
the purpose OF war, IT lacked direct
ness, consumed time and was need
lessly costly. The new route goes as
near straight as possible, disregarding
national boundaries. 1t Is proposed 70

part Of the empire and to cheaper tel

A Blossoming Desert.

For the purposes Of taxation. the real

horses, mules, cattle, sheep and hogs,
