The Rioting in Mexico City.

That conditions in Mexico are far from
being stable is illustrated by the dis
turbance that occurred in the capt.
city yesterday. when Gen. Bernardo
Reyes. candidate for the presidency in
opposition 10 Madero was mohbed and
denied hearing by crowd of ma
deristas 1t cannot be believed that the

murdero'is partisanship Indeed. far
as the dispatches run It would seem that
the government acted promptly TO pre-
vent a spread of tie trouble. \everthe-
less the incident has sinister sig
rificance in that il suggests that the
people OF Mexico are not vet fully pre-
pared for The exercise Of an unrestricted
suffrage
During the many wears Of the Diaz
regime there was little or no freedom OF
election. Despite all denials the fact

cal ballotings We're merely forms 10 give
the semblance of legality to arbitrary
selections for office. 1t may be true that

at the same time had training for the
terday's outbreak at the capital may be
ascribed to the reaction after long
preston inevita BILE in the case Of peo-
pie finally released from executive tram

Madero is described as an idealist,
reformer who is unwilling TO compromise
with conditions. He wants a free Mexico.
and his statements already made have

this doctrine regardless of personal for
tunes. At the same time il has been
charged that the provisional government
organized under his supervision after the
collapse of the Diaz administration has
unduly favored the old regime in the
retention of numbers Of pc rtisans of the
deposed president. Some of the more
radical insurgents have been making
trouble for weeks. demanding a clean
sweep Of the officials who have remained
in position from the old organization.
With these Madero has been dealing pa
tiently, urging all his followers TO wait
until the elections have been held in
October.

feet the attack on Gen. Reeves will have
