DIAZ CABINET RESIGNS.

The resignation of the Diaz cabinet

tour is in command of the situation.
He apparently has the confidence, both
of the government and of the insur-
gents, and he is playing both ends to-
wards his own interest in the middle.
1t is candor 20 say also that he ap-
pears to be pushing forward fair and
practicable propositions in tho inter
ests OF the people and the development
of tho country.
He has announced heretofore some
OF the main points of those policies.
They include the partition Of tho large
land holdings in northern Mexico, and
the division of land into holdings such
as the people will be able to acquire.
Presumably also he favors n modifica-
tion Of the despotic rule heretofore en-
forced by President Diaz, and the in
PRODUCTION in such degree as may be
practicable, of the substance and forms
OF republic. 1t will be remembered
that President Diaz has perpetuated
himself in power in Mexico for many
terms in defiance of the constitution,
and that ho tolerates no opposition at
the elections. Madero, the insurrec
tionary leader, undertook to he n can
didate for the presidency last year
against Diaz, and was promptly arrest
ed and put i'll Jail as the head Of n sedi-
ton. OF course, that sort of thing will

II has answered heretofore in Mexico,
but, being pushed to the extreme that
it was in the latest exhibition of Diaz S
tyranny, it was easy to raise n remon-
STRANGE and revolt against it.
1t seems as though there ought now
to be cessation of the mimic war
which is being waged. 1t is true that
the casualties usually occur chiefly after
the "battles - are over, in the shooting
of such prisoners as are caught The
companied by much blood-letting, often

IL is to be hoped that the disorders
may now be stopped since so much
has been conceded to the insurgents.
The possibility that Diaz might resign
the presidency at the demand of the
insurgents has not been considered
heretofore. Whether this is a practical
contingency, now that the cabinet has
resigned. remains to be seen. 1t is
noteworthy that Vice President Ray
mond Corral, who resigns as Cabinet
Minister, does not resign as Vice Presi-
dent. I.imantour viii remain as FL
nance Minister, having been a great
success in that position. The insurgents
keep insisting that Diaz must resign
1t is quite possible, however, that this
is an extreme demand, that they do
not really expect TO have complied

BUSINESS AND TRADE.

Great activity in promoting develop
ment, and in the acquisition of new
settlers in this State, as shown by the
unprecedented land entries, has heen
the marked development of the week.
All records are ecliPsed in these lines,
and all Immensely to the advantage OF
the State. Colony operations, reclama-
tion propositions. all are taking on an
Importance never before known in
Utah, and the homeseekers are coming
both from the East and from the West.
The rush will, undoubtedly, make very
important differences in Utah in n com
paratively few years. All these actiyi,
ties are being vigorously promoted, and
the result is sure.
General business in this city turns
for the better, the bank clearances for
the week just past exceeding those Of
the corresponding week last year. The
merchants have had a successful be
ginning in their spring sales. The
trade was evenly distributed, taking in
all lines, with spring dress goods and
millinery in the lead,
The building activity Of tho week

Frank B. Force, sporting editor
of the Minneapolis Tribune, ha 8
been elected president of the Mime
sofa Wisconsin league. The right
man in the right place.
Jimmie Williams has affixed his
signature to Minneapolis contract.
Catcher Bill Carrigan of the Bos-
ton Red Sox has left the ranks of
the hoid-outs and will report for
spring practice with the rest of the
team.
The Washington D. G. correspon-
dent of Sporting Life says the time
approaches for the American league
magnates to boost president John
sons salary another notch. On good
authority it is stated that Byron
Bancroft draws measly stipend of
thirty-thousand plunks now. Yet
it has been suggested that he be al
lowed to cut i'm for ten per cent of
the sum divided between the eight
clubs at the end Of the season. Why
not give him percentage of the
days receipts after each game, or
vote him salary equal to that of
the president Of the United States?

Clean Linen Free to Cowboys.

When the Indians began dying
out rapidly in the Southwest, and
venturesome capitalists started build
ing railroads, new towns were pro-
jected so fast that the map makers
were always several years behind.
Everyone of these towns, as soon as
it. achieved population of two hum
dred, was afflicted with the court
house fever. Indeed, for an ambi-
tious town a month old and possess
ing a population of two hundred
wandering and skittish souls, court
house is the surest anchor. 1t Sc
cures not only more permanent To-
cation but also an increase in popu-
lation. Each new town watched the
population of the old county seat
and as soon as victory was sure an
election was called and the court
house moved. Then the old county
seat watched it's chance and worked
to secure the county majority. This
accomplished, another election was
called and the court house moved
again, taking a lot of population
with it.
Vagaries of the Texas election
law in it's definition of voter aided
the frontier town builders in their
work. One section of the law said
that voters residence was main
tanned at the place where his wash
ing was done. Resourceful town
promoters soon saw the opportunity
in this, and every town preparing
for a court house fight became
great laundry center. Cowboys and
railroad laborers, who were alike
disdainful of the privileges of suf-
frage and the joys of clean linen,
were bribed to give up their soiled
shirts and receive clean ones in re-
turn and after a primary course in
sanitation and politics voted with
great skill and frequency. When
the legislature met it always had to
waste a good deal of time locating
J the new county seats. One session
, grew so peevish over it that law
was passed making it felony, or a
, misdemeanor, or something of the
, kind, to move a court house in less
than five years after it's establish
ment. Since then competition for
, population between Texas towns has
, been compelled to develop in other
directions other words, the new
development is bona fde.- From
