present Madero blueprint Of the future
when the elections come off there
should be little or less doubt but what
Madero will be elected.
MaderO to Succeed Diaz.
President Madero will be the next
regular successor to president Diaz.
The term is for six years; the issue
1t is the Madero platform-win be mo
reelection" Madero says that no
president should be more than a one
term president. Dia used to say the
same thing some 80 years g Diaz
shifted his brush. Will Madero shift
his. Perhaps. No man can tell what
a Mexican will do tomorrow by what
he says today.
In Danger of MaderO.
Diaz is in no danger from the Ma
dero people. Limantour is. Imam
tour has been secretary Of the Mexican
treasury for roundly 20 years. He
was poor at the start. Now he stag
gers and reels with riches. Also, his
political and personal hook-ups are
with Creel ard the ~latter's fatherin-
law. the hated Terrazas.
The Madero family ard the Terrazas
family are the MontaSues and Capu-
lets of Mexico. It is a rivalry, not
only of politics. but gold. Both outfits
are worth millions. And SO the Ma
dero folk hate Creel and Terrazas. and
Limantcur, who has Terrazas affilia-
tons.
There will be a great o~verhauling
Of the books. The MeXicans. looking
at Limantour. ard remembering his
sudden miIlicrs. have for long been
in the habit Of asking, Where did
he get it2" Now they to
find out. Also, lurid things may hap
pen.
4 Good Fault Finder.
There is no better fault finder than
a Mexican. once he sets himself about
il. The wolf which accused the down.
stream lamb of m%uddying the water

out a mere novice in the art Of fault
finding, If compared with a Mexican.
Should the Madero people-and it

trail Of Limantour to discover him in
wrong-doing. I carno think that fol-
lowed ~financier wiz havc q took in.
IfmantOuF a FiBancier.
L~innantour has just sold $500. 600. 900
Of Mexican bonds in Europe. He has
been a big railroad Influence and from
time to time has whispered many rail-
road things in the sympathetic Diaz ear.

Who is to pay for the American dead

The Washington congress should press

what public moneys, from time to

insurrectos. This includes $3.50 0

considered as having been spent in the
government service and for the public
good.
Madere as the Boss Murphy.
Madero advancing with his guberna-
torial substitutions and his "pacifica-
ions" will finally reach the City of
Mexico. There he himself will halt.
The southern half Of the country he
will ~pacify'' from the city of the Mon
tezumas.
Madero himself will take no office.
De la Barra, whom Madero trusts, will
prevail as president, after Diaz and
Corral get out. Madero will permit
him to remain.
Pending the regular election when
Madero will become a candidate for
the presidency, Madero reserves for
himself the post of Shotgun or Boss.

When worst comes to worst, Liman-
tour will loo towards Washington
for friends, and rely on Wickersham
and Henry Taft tt pull him through.
They may, and doubtless will, succeed
in doing so. The Mexican is a good
hater, but a bad rememberer. He will
not forgive, but he will forget. In
that lies the sheet-anchor of a Imam
tour hope.

That Deadly Parlor Rifle.

Wednesday, which resulted in the
death of Mrs. w. J. Benjamin, a
young married lady, who leaves Il
husband and four little children.
Mrs. Benjamin was tidying Der home
on west Hampton Avenue, and
in some manner knocked over
a 90 calibre parlor rifle. The rifle
discharged and the ball entered Mrs.
Benjamin's neck, under the chin,
death resulting in few seconds.
There are scores of homes in Orange

dent may happen any day by the
knocking over Of the deadly parlor
rifle carelessly left in some corner.
