A Troublesome Boundary.
New York Tribune).

Much comment and some dissatis
action have been provoked by the de-
-is!on of the international arbitration
court concerning the boundary line be-
tween Mexico and the United States
1T Ell Psso. In the dispute the national
title to some million dollars worth OF
property was involved The decision
gives to Mexico only about one-f1fth OF
what she claimed, but even that means
that a strip OF land a third OF mile
vide and three miles long on this side
Of the Rio Grande is declared to be
Mexican soil. and the river there Is no
longer the international boundary. but
lies wholly within Mexico. AS re-
suit occupants OF that land who have
supposed they were on American soil
find themselves involuntarily expatri.
ated SO far as residence IS concerned.
and while one side Of q city street Is
United States. the other side Is Mex
leo.
The trouble lies in the vagrant and
capricious habits Of the river. Theore-
torically a river Is an excellent bound
airy line since it conspicuously marks
Itself and physically divides the two
countries between which It lies. Prac-
tically some rivers are very unsads-
factory boundaries. because they do
not stay iD one place. and permanence
IL an essential quality Of a boundary.
The shifting OF the lower Hoang river
in China to the extent OF hundreds OF
miles IL well known. The similar
shifting Of the Missouri, and even at
some points Of the Mississippi. as we'll
as Of minor streams, is matter OF
familiar record. The Rio Grande has
long had the same habit and probably
y 81
A boundary ought to stay fixed. not
to be shifting to and fro according to
the caprices OF a eand-borne stream.
The argument is that II a river de-
clared to be the boundary between two
states does not stay in the same chan
mel the boundary ought to remain
where 1t was when it was first adopt
ed. and that as we understand It. !s
the purport Of the decision at Ell Paso.
When Texas was set off from Mexico
the river ran much further north than
it now does. The court decides that
at least a portion of the land which
has thus been shifted from one side Of
the river to the other, or rather that
portion from one side to the other OF
which the river was shifted. Is to be
considered as under the same national
Jurisdiction which It was under before
the changing Of the course OF the river.
