FL Paso. April 24.-(Special to

leader i'm lower California says
that if peace is established be
tween Madero and Diaz that it

The revolt in lower California
must go on according to General
Francisco Salinas who has been
appointed commander-in-chief Of

Baptist Tabernacle. Buster gave
the children a very interesting

truthful, studious and to obey
their parents. He then compli.

Who Is He?

A Snyder painter was the vie
tim of n very smutty joke this
week. He was employed TO paint
the smoke stack at the Stavely
gin, and when he finished the
outside Of it, his companions per-
suaded him that the inside of the
pipe would also have TO be paint
ed. So with II rope fastened
around his body attached to a
pulley at the top Of the pipe, in
order TO raise and lower him, he
was pulled up adm down the pipe
several times. When released,
and brought out, he was blacker
than an east Texas negro. and n
thousand times madden than a
Mexican insurrecto. Fortunately
after the hot air tanks were ex-
hausted the dove of peace poured
oil on the troubled waters, and no
blood was spilled II is pretty
certain that the painter will new
er again try to paint the inside Of
a smoke stack.-Fluvanna Tri-

changes no more suddenly. rapid

ton changes in this little disturb
ance across the river, that is
"not officially recognized. " The
arrival of the elder Madero seem
ed to be rather unexpected, as his
name had not been brought into
the recent conferences. The
strain Of suspense is undoubtedly
demoralizing Madero s force and
causing discomfort, and delay
would give the fedcrals-if they

his consent TO delay must be re-

abdication of the presiden, and
the surrender of Juarez. As The
Herald has often said, Made"o is
in position to negotiate and in
huencc terms of peace, but a. IS.
not in position TO dictate or &c.
cree.
The demands of Madero -
through the unofficial peac com
mission were excessive, and tn,
government could do nothing but
reject them. inasmuch as Madcrp
refused to parley or admit al
possibility of modifying his terms
Had the government accepted
such extreme terms it would
have been equivalent to surren-
der to armed insurrectionary
forces. and would have been so
regarded at home and abroad, so
that the government could not in
reason be expected TO place itself
in such a position.
Every time Madero has spoken
he has modified his demands in
some slight particular. and to a
Herald man late Friday after
noon he said there might be
found some proposition equal to
the immediate retirment of Diaz.
This seems to leave the way open

still a chance for peace if Madero

The only nations in the world that

only nations in which the masses OF
the people have voluntarily divided
themselves into two great political
parties. In Austria-Huugary. for in.
stance. parliamentary government
has failed. and on more than one
occasion parliament has been dis
solved and the autocratic edict OF

parliamentary authority simply be
cause the people have been divided
