A CASE OF YELLOws.

From Mexican Herald Getty of Mexico.
A special committee OF the American
colony OF this city has prepared a
lengthy resolution denouncing the ex-
aggerated news about Mexico that has
been published in certain newspapers
Of the United States. Undoubtedly there
have been some outrageous exaggera-
lions and some downright lies sent out
OF Mexico, and 1t is proper for Ameri-
cans here, who know the truth. not only
TO correct these reports. but endeavOt
to prevent their repetition The only
criticism that We would offer is that
the American society might have acs
cOmplished both ends without the pub
Ecity that has given every Spanish
newspaper in the city opportunity 70
criticise Americans with material fur
nished by Americans There Is plenty
Of such matter OF native manufacture
at hand just now.
But the final statements OF the reso-
luton, formulated to rebuke ineXact
statements, are somewhat inconsistent
to say the least. The resolution con-
cludes with the assertion that there
has been no action here unfriendly TO
foreigners, and that natives and for
eigners ARE going about their usual
avocations without the least hindrance
or Inconvenience, whatsoever, or fear
thereof" The last statement in view
Of the fact that the same society that
tissues 1t, in common with the Mexican
authorities and all other foreign COL
onies, is at present busily engaged IN
formula ting concentration and defencs
plans, buying arms and stocks OF pro-
visions, as precautionary measures
against trouble that may possibly oc-
cur in the capital, IS subject to the
same criticism the committee files
against the yellow correspondents, and
in measure, argues against the sin

The first state in the union to give

tory, passed a bill in 1863 The council
was Democratic and II hoped TO embar-

Campbell, who was expected to veto It
He signed it, however, and when the
vetoed the repeal. When in 1888 the
convention was held to form the con-
stttutiOn for statehood, the clause

citizens" was adopted unanimously and
this constitution was ratified by more
than three-fOurths majority Of the peo-
pie and sent to congress for approval
Members of that body fought three
days to have the clause eliminated and

Twenty Famous Men
FARM TO PALACE.
By Thomas Taper

- NE day queen Victoria Of England
sat down to dinner with a guest
- The queen was then young, for
this was in 1889. Her guest was a man
Of so great dignity and Of such strik-
I'M. appearance that when he walked
through the streets Of London people
stopped TO gaze at him in admiration
Dignity came out Of him like perfume

Most biography is written forward.

war Of 1912. In that year, and before,
he was lawyer with an office IN a

been offered the position as clerk OF

His father was judge in this same
court, and IL pleased him TO think that
his son was to be thus associated with

who said:

When Colorado. which was the sec

by which the legislature might at any
time by a majority, instead of two
thirds majority required for amend
ments, enact a law extending the SUI
frage, but this law must be approved
by a majority Of the voters It was or
dered that such a law be submitted at
the first election after the state came
into the union. This was done, and in
1877 the men OF the state defeated the
measure by a vote Of two TO one The
