THE JUST VIEW OF
 MEXICAN oUTRAoES.

MEXICAN ouTRAeEs.
 [ A few days ago a Mexican mur derer at Rock Springs. Texas. wa. taken from jail by a mob and burned to death. The other day a mob il
 Mexico City. inflamed by this Texal lynching. attacked Americans in ths streets and grossly insulted the
 United, States flag Briefly stated this is cause and effect.
 But the incidents reach deepi, into international obligations and ] responsibility Tn no other republic
 on earth are the relations between the state and federal governments the same as in this country, and it is simply impossible for foreigners, even the people of our nearest
 neighbor. to understand why our federal government cannot send ofi
 
 cers into Texas and visit punishment upon those gully of the horrible tor ture of a criminal who was supposed to be waiting the orderly procedure of courts of law. The State Of Texas did nothing in the matter. The dispatches from Rock Springs stated that mo arrests have been made: no investigation has been ordered and there will be none" The Mexican was doubtless guilty of atrocious murder. but he had the right to orderly trial and legal exc eution. Lynching is a shame and a disgrace to any American community, and having occurred, prompt action by the authorities in bringing the
 guilty ones to justice is called for.
 Instead. in this case, mo investiga- ton has been ordered. and there
 will be none"
 News of this kind carries far and swiftly. In Mexico. where any state can be invaded instantly by national troops on orders from the capital, the United States" was held responsible for the Rock Springs outrage, o' rather the neglect to arrest and I punish members of the mob. Thi' I explains why citizens of the United | States were attacked indiscriminatel, ! by members of an ignorant mob. ant '. the flag, which represents every stat in the union. as well as Texa !. was desecrated In this manner ha eI Texas caused an unpleasant inte D national incident. Under our sy d tenn of government, Texas, and evei e other state. is freed of federal into y. ference CT control in police matter of under the assumption that 1t will U es sold the dignity of the nation to dealing with the subjects of oth he countries who commit crimes. IT CT is the duty in which Texas t. failed, and the duty 1t should p
 form. so far as it can be done nc cal On the other hand, there have De in a number of outrages in Mexico Ia an ly against American citizens. wh md have been the subject of diploma ldy exchanges between Washington 1se ehMexico City. An American girs fir at Nebraska is now, and has beer ad- several weeks. in the hands Of (
 to laws. who Kidnapped her. Altho' has troops started in pursuit. and h gall searched diligently, they have b pro- nnabie so far to locate her, ow ion to the wild and inaccessible eoun ,ity They are still working hard on
 or case. The point is that it is the ally era government of Mexico that the. after the criminals, not any s
 government Several other instar use. of outrages against citizens of ,wn United States. and the destruction ave their property. have occurred in \ con ico during the past few weeks, ood in every case the pursuit of
 If guilty parties by federal troops neasbeen prompt and relentless. In
