pIAZ HOLDS EORT.

Poriirio Diaz was on Thursday in
augurated for the eight time presi-
dent of the republic of Mexico. Upon !
tbe occasion he sent out message |
TO all nations declaring: 1T is very
gratifying to me to say that my heart
is full of faith in the progress of a
people, who like the Mexican, has
known how to conquer by it's own
efforts a place among the lovers OF
toll, after having proved its valor
i'll war in patriotic defense of coun-
try, and that never as today could
| declare that Mexico belongs def
| nitely to the group OF nations of as.
sured stability. because against the
firm guarantee of peace which we
possess. no influence tending towards
lis dissolution can now or ever shall
he able to prevail" There is in the
last part of this expression some
thing Of the spirit of ancient Rome
VINO, while an enemy was battering
at one of the gates of the city sent
forth from another gate legions to
reduce rebellious foreign province.
An armed instruction against the
Diaz government is about in Mexico,
apparently broken in strength. but
not yet entirely stamped out, vet the
man against whose rule it is partic-
ulatly aimed. assures the nations of
the world that never before has tle
government which he represents
teen more firmly established II is
brave and confident utterance. justi-
fed, perhaps by the actual condi.
lions of the present and certainly
warranted of conclusion by the rec
ord of the past.
But, when President Daz saws
that his heart is full of faith in the
progress of the Mexican people he
contradicts in words the whole
course of his actions during the long
period of his control of the affairs of
his country. Diaz has proceeded
upon the principle that the people
were unfit to govern themselves, and
he has governed them according 10
his own ideas of what was good for
them, On the whole his purposes
have been good, and he has, in q ma
terial way, undoubtedly improved
conditions in Mexico. but, political
~ the net result Of his long estab-
lishment and unchecked Dictatorship.
has probably been weakened, by afro
ply, the democratic principle of gov.
eminent, and at the close of his ca
reer. the Mexicans may he found
less fit for the responsibilities Of self
government than they were ut the he
shining OF it, Enlightened despotism
may seem 70 make strong the foun
dations Of nation, as Il undoubtod-
" keeps the structure firm, hut when
