Color Barred Fruit.

There was a time when prejudice was
carried 30 far in Holland that the sale
Of oranges and carrots was forbidden.
Orange was the color of the stadt-
holders family. and when the demo-
cratic feeling against this family was
at its height the fruit which gave the
color to nature, and even the harmless
carrot, which more or less resembles IL
in hue. were placed under the ban. OF
course, there were persons of moderate
temper who thought that this was
going too far.-The Argonaut.

in that land, is going to stand these IN
suits and indignities, God only knows.
| believe that it is the duty OF every
thinking man to give every opportunity
possible for the government OF Mexico
to establish peace and give guarantees
of life and liberty to not only its own
citizens, but to foreigners and their IN
terests. As well is it the duty Of the
American government to be patient and
in every respect be careful in all our
movements towards her friendly neigh
Dor.
But there comes a time, and 1t seems
to me that that time Is fast approach
ing, when patience ceases to be virtue;
and if the Mexican government finds it
self in a condition impossible to cope
with the situation, which seems to be
the case, that it would seek cooperation
with others to bring about the desired
result of pacifying the country.
If this cannot be done, and peace can
not be restored. and the peoples in
terests protected. then it becomes the
duty of the United States government
to take a hand; and if the. United
States government fails, then 1t becomes
the duty of American citizens to do
their duty, and l believe that we are
