may be interesting to recall an almost
parallel condition back in 1892, when

B. II. Moran, an old-timer, of Califor-

wrote to the United States minister to
Mexico, Powhatan Ellis, to impress
upon the Mexican authorities the feel
ings which would be excited in this
country if any harsh proceedings
should be attempted toward his youth
"A little later Webster wrote again,
declaring that the United States had a
right to send a private Individual as a
representative to n country. Then
he directed the American minister in
Mexico to press the case with the ut
most earnestness on the Mexican gov

United States feels itself bound to in

citizens will not be sacrificed who have

hostile character against Mexico. Even
If the conduct of young Combs was
indiscreet and Ill judged. yet this gov
