More Liberal.

In writing of ceraln political
conditions III West Virginia and
elsewhere, one of the ablest and
best democrats in the state makes
this remark to the editor of the
Register: II find myself more
and more tolerant and liberal in
my political views every day. I
feel myself more i'm accord with
those who are termed republican
insurgents than with some who
pose as regular democrats.
Our friend expresses the senti.
ment of a very considerable BODY
OF thinking men, who, like him
self, have always been regular in
their party standing, but who
can no longer stand for the petty
politics of the bosses who control
party affairs. For instance. how

OF the inhabitants put to the sword The
houses Of the city were pilaged and the de
struction Of property was general Although
Hidalgo issued an edict and attached grave
penalties for the offenders, he was powerless
to prevent the excuses committed by the IN
disciplined masses. After order had been
finally restored Hidalgo turned his attention
TO the manufacture of cannon for his troops
and the minting Of the silver bars from the
many mines in that vicinity, which had been
captured in the city
Meanwhile the government prepared to
combat the revolution and through the medi-
UNI Of the church sought to gain control over
the minds Of the lower classes, an edict Of ex-
communication being issued by the tho bishop
OF Michoacan against Hidalgo, Alendc and Al
dana To counterfeit the effect of this on the
minds of the people, Hldalgo published an an
swer. declaring his firm adherence to the doc
trines OF the Catholic faith and calling upon
all To resist their oppressors.
On the eighth OF October Hidago com
menced his march to ValIalolid, intending at
first TO attack Queretaro. Hearing of his com
ing, the authorities of Valadolid deserted the
city and the army Of insurgents was received
by the citizens with great ovation.
On October 10 Hidalgo marched toward
Mexico City and was met at Las Cruces by
the rOyast forces under command OF Iieuten-
ant Colonel TrUjillO, who was surrounded by
the Insurgents and forced to cut his way
through the enemy's rear and retreat to Mex
leo City The battle cost Hidalgo about 1000
in killed and wounded, and instead Of advanc-
ing on the city he determined to retreat, being
influenced in his decision by the news that
General Calleja had left San Luis Potosi with
reinfOrcements The retreating insurgents
and Callejas forces met at Acuco: the for
mer, however, with but little fighting. contin-
ued their retreat, leaving in the field their
baggage and artillery. Hidalgo. with reduced
forces. retired to Valladoild, while Alende
posted himself at Guanaiuato and was at
tackled and badly defeated by Cae4a, with
great loss in killed and wounded
Hldalgo, meanwhile repaired to Guadala-
lara with his rcorganizod army and was re
ceived with great pomp by the people Of the
city Here he organized a form Of government
with I50acio Lopez Rayon as secretary general
In January, 1911, Hilalgo moved from
Gua3ala5ara with the largest army that was
ever under his command, meeting the much
smaller force Of the enemy under Callcia at
the bridge of Ca-tor0n. about 50 miles from

Acquiring Friends.

Acquiring friends and keeping them
is the surest way to social success.
provided each friend is hall marked,
80 to speak. as being of sterling merit
and of the right weight In the social
scale. Some people seem born with
the knack ard right intuition about
these most necessary moves, and no
matter where they visit will at once
slip into the charmed circle from
which most newcomers are excluded.
When at hotels abroad or at home
they always stumble upon the nota-
bles, q even royalty travelling in
cognito will come their way. On all
sides they are smiled on and ap-
proved. On the other hand. there are
many who travel purely for the sake
of meeting desirable people. who put
up at hotels where royalty is expected
and go to all kinds of expense and
trouble to dine and wine each new ac-
uuaintance, and yet are ever apart.
It needs magic touch to open the
portals to friendship and sympathy
that but few really POSSESS.
