his apoStleship. Senior Madero Is more
than an apostle, because the apostle,
dreamed Of a crown OF martyrdOm, and
senior MaderO cannot even see Its shao-

Of realities and facts.
IaderO Given Every Facility
The government, however, is not
lacking In means TO concentrate the
power Of the tempest upon lightning
rod. and calmly and TRANQUILITY TO ride
the gale. The congress Of the union,
acting both with intelligence and with
patriotism, has authorized the eXecu-
tive TO organize $4,000 men of the reg

throughout the country.
Must Change Policy
The people OF sane minds. the con-
scientiOus workers, no longer desire a
revolution but, on the other hand,
neither do they desire a government
so weak that 1t IS the prey Of al
classes OF TeVolutiOnaries- For the gov
eminent to dominate the situation it
simply requires to know how TO organ
lie its armed forces. to conceive truly
military and polite plan OF paclffca-
ton, and to have sufficient energy, and
the resolution Indispensable for carry
ing It out
Senior Madero must bend his mind
to making himself feared, since by this
means alone, IN a nation such as ours,
can he obtain that respect which is
Indispensable TO enable him TO rule. We

our political sentiments are entirely
Spanish. whether we ike II or not; and
We neither feel nor believe that there
can exist authority where there does
not exist also majesty. The Spaniard
believes IN and makes Obeisance to
{ authority whether distant or near,
when his nOstrils sniff the aroma Of
the Spanish hauteur. This hauteur
was possessed IN a high degree by
Santa Anna, Miramon, JuareZ LerdO de
Te1ada, Gen. Gonzalez and Gen DiaZ
He who has not mark Of a distinctly
aristOcratio tint can never hope to rule
a people Of Spanish blood
And so we see that neither by ses-
sions ordinary or extraordinary can the
MaderO that which he lacks. The con-
gress Of the union is not constituted
for the purpose OF organizing armed
forces, nor to fiji the office OF min
mate political maneuvers which belong
to the ministry OF the interior. nor to
look after the efficiency Of the police,
nor to discover plots and place bat
teries, nor to do that which should be
done by the executive.
To Avoid More Trouble
Since then the congress OF the
union cannot IN these moments do that
which must be done, its reunion would
serve no purpose other than that Of in
creasing a terrible focus Of agitation,
by means Of daily questions put to the
secretaries Of state, by declaring it
self in permanent session until the
small hours of the morning, by launch
ing clamOrOus discOurses Of an incen-
IN some obscure suburb, accusing the
president and all his cabinet, and stir
ring up with destructive elOquence the
passions Of the people, and removing
from them what few shreds Of public
common sense may yet remain Every
day the chamber OF deputies would
have the aspect OF the bull ring when
the bulls prove tame.
The names OF the deputies who have
signed the call to arms lead US to be-
heve that their sole desire Is to set
Up grand parliamentary agitation,
with elements which Will surpass IN
noise, madness, shouting and cat calls
the worst moments Of the student body
when they were fired by patriotic
frenzy.
Nation Wants a Rest
The nation is sick OF the patriotism
Of yells, OF the clubs, OF manifesto
tiOns and Of disorder. whatever NAV
be its form or denomination; what the
country yearns for is truth, serious
ness. intelligence. energy and resoIu-
tlOn IN the policy OF government. It
wants at least two months silence in
which 20 take little nap, because we
