A BIT OF HISTORY.

To the students of American his
tory the idea of our Intervention in
the internal affairs of Mexico is NO
new one. Back in the 'fifties the
condition of the land south of the
Provinces distant from the city OF
Mexico enjoyed a practical automy;
life and property were unsa1e
throughout the Republic. Finally
constitutional election was agreed
upon by both Liberals and Clericals,
and the date fixed for February II,
1857. Soon after this election, Cen
eral Zuloaga rose in instruction
against the new President and over
threw him. According to the con-
stitution, this created the Chief JUS
tice of the Supreme Court "substi-
tute president" This office was
held by General Jaurez, who fed to
Vera Cruz and there established
himself
Zuloaga was soon succeeded by
Gen. Miramon, but things went from
had to worse in the City of Mexico.
The whole land was in turmoil,
American citizens were beaten, plum
dered and even murdered with i'm
punity. Our Minister had been re-
called; we had no representatives;
President Buchanan sent Robert M.
McLane as special envoy to Mexico
to investigate. He negotiated with
Juarez at Vera Cruz treaty of
transit and commerce." submitted to
congress in December, 1859. Under
its provisions the United States were
to pay Mexico $4,000,000, in return
for valuable transit concessions on
the isthmus of Tehauntepec. Two
millions were to pay American
claims; the rest was to be used in
extending the authority of the Jaur-
ez Government. In his message on
December 10, the President asked
Congress for authority to establish
military posts in Sonora and Chi
huahua. Nothing came of all this;
the Civil War began and Maximil-
ian set up throne in Mexico.
At the close of the war General
Phil Sheridan was sent to the Rio
Grande with an "army of observa-
tion." How the inaction irked the
fiery soldier, his memoirs eloquently
relate; he ardently desired to cross
the frontier and make history. But
the Washington Government, whose
"pokiness' he so reprobated, was
wiser than he; the "army of obser-
vation," camped just north of the
boundary, furnished moral support
to Jaurez and the Empire of Mexico
persisted from the face of the earth.

The Nevada Legislature has pass
ed a joint resolution which will be
of general interest. The resolution
follows: Resolved, BY the repub-
lican minority in this joint session
of both houses of the twenty-fifth
session of the Nevada legislature,
in which a democratic majority has
voted to make unanimous the cleo
ton of republican candidate to the
senate of the United States, that our
thanks and congratulations be ex-
tended with a hearty goodwill to
the democratic members for the
honorable way in which they have
accepted the result of the last cleo
ton and bowed to the will of the
people as expressed by the popular
vote. Be it further resolved. that
we extend our sincere congratula-
lions and goodwill to the honor
able Key Pitman, of Nye county,
for the unequivocal manner in
which he has carried out his part
of the gentleman agreement made
between himself and the Hon. Geo.
S. Nixon. in the campaign of last
fall, in withdrawing from the con-
test after the result of the election
earned the lasting regard of his po-
litical opponents by the fair, able
and honorable campaign made by
him in his fight for the senatorial
toga, thereby making a record of
which every true Nevadan may we'll
be proud. Be it further resolved,
that the election of a republican,
who was chosen by the popular vote,
as against candidate for the same
office with democratic majority
in control of the legislature on joint
ballot, emphasizes an epoch in Amer
lean politics of which the senate of
the United States may we'll take
heed, until the election of United
States senators by a direct vote of
the people, shall become the law of
the land. Be it further resolved,
that copy of these resolutions be
forwarded to both houses of con-
gress in Washington.

Presidents Taft's plea to the
young men of the new South to take
up political issues from broad and
liberal standpoint accords very we'll
with democracy. Breadth and lib

from the beginning, but it is not like
ly that our worthy president had just
that fact in view when he spoke.

him, and that it was she who man
aged to bring about their meeting
and subsequent marriage. 1t is quite
obvious that the lady was not coy
young maiden content to wait in the
shadow until her knight should ap-
pear in suit of armor and carry her
away to his castle, but the fact that
she violated the conventions by
actively promoting her own matri-
monial fortunes affords but the
slightest ground on which to infer
the insanity of the man whom she Sc
lected as a desirable husband, nor is
it's significance greatly strengthened
by the appellants failure to be
frightened away by the woman's adj
vances. The sacred writer's declar-
alton that it is in vain the fowler
spread the net in the sight of the
bird has no application to cases of
this kind. Many men find a charm in
the very boldness and audacity of
the invitation which they never dis
Germ in more reticent tactics. The
appellant was wanting to marry. He
talked with some of his friends on
the subject and one of the witnesses
had advised him to find good wom-
an and make her his wife. He was
clearly not deceived by the letter
which invited him to call upon Mrs.
Hattery. He went, he saw and was
conquered just as all men from the
schoolboy to the gray haired veteran
have succumbed to Cupid's wiles
ever since adam delved and Eva
span"
But Notwithstanding the precipi-
fancy of his surrender there is evil
dence, of his ability to keep the bust
ness section of his brain unclouded
even. when indulging in rose colored
visions of connubial felicity for,
while so exhilarated over Mrs. Hat
tery's invitation he made her a call
that his daughter says, he lay down
upon the lounge and kicked up his
heels in the air and Immediately
thereafter began and pressed his suit
at a remarkable rate of speed, he Sc
curd the signature of his chosen one
to an ante-nuptial contract by which
she agreed to accept an exceedingly
modest allowance in lieu of Wild
owls share in his estate. A man who
can make so shrewd bargain under
such distracting circumstances can
hardy be considered incompetent to
transact business.

 trey. and he recounted all that had hap
 pened since obenrezer and George had left London together. "Bah,' said Oben-
 reizer, "do not think to frighten me with your child's story Ut is not a childs
 tale I am telling you" replied Bintrey.
 This Is trap which I have set for YOU
 and into which you have walked. You
 have attempted murder and you have
 committed forgery and theft. We have
 the evidence against you in both cases, Obenreizer was convinced that Bintrey spoke the truth. The lawyer produced a
 paper said said If you will sign this
 paper releasing all claims to the guard
 ianship of Miss Obenreizer we will give
 you in return an indemnity which
 cures you against further proceedings on
 our part. But you must never be seen in London or Switzerland again." oben-
 reizer took the pen and signed his name with firm hand. The door opened and
 In came Marguerite and George, who, of
 course, was not dead. The shock of see- ing alive the man whom he had sup
 posed he had killed was too great for
 even Obenreizer to stand without a ner- vous shudder.
 He stared at the two blankly for .
 minute, and then said: "Ah, see 1t was indeed a trap. But I have something to say" And then he told of the pa pers in the strong box of Maitre voigt, papers of which he hsu made copies,
 which proved that George Vendale was
 the true Walter Wilding. "So.' said he, If my niece marries this man she
 marries a bastard brought up on public charity. She marries an imposter with out name or lineage, disguised in the character of gentleman of rank and family"
 The words of Obenreizer, however,
 were scarcely heard by George; he was conscious of but one sensation, heard
 but one voice. Marguertte's hand was In his and Marguerite's voice was whis- pering to him: T never loved you
 George as I love you now" They were
 married in the little town of Brieg and

DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.
I: .:.*a@**%%==%=%*%s

In my opinion, the insurgents in the
Republican party, who are rebelling
against the domination of that party
by the money power, are Democrats,
but they do not know it or will not
ac,-. owledge it. They certainly are
at variance with their own party.
They have not started new party.
Thsre are and ever have been in this
county but two leading parties, the
party of plutocracy and the party OF
democracy. Those gentlemen are
against their own party; hence, they
must be with the Democratic party, in
principle. They are, today, advocat-
ing Democratic principles. This only
goes to show that in the ranks of the
Republican party there are thousands
of people who are awakening to their
, government, to the evils of the day;
and who are turning to the Democrat
ic principles. There is a general up
rising all over the ciuntry against Re-
publican domination. 1t was evil
denced in the last election. Then, in
what direction must these people be
| turning? They are turning toward
the principles of the Democratic par
ty. The majority of the white people
of this country are and ever have been
Democrats. The vast majority of the
people of this country, today, are up
holding Democratic principles and de-
claring that the people must rule.
Then, to what party viii this awaken
ing sentiment turn; in favor of what
party will it initiate? There can be
but one answer: the party that advo-
Gates those principles, and there is
and ever has been but one such party,
the Democratic party.
With the awakening of this crafty
ing sentiment all over the country;
with its application of old principles to
new evils, in which the Democratic
party is foremost, the prospects Of the
Democratic party were never brighter;
and the prospect is most encourn ging
