More About Mexico.

In order to know the Mexican
of the present day, it will be
necessary to revert to the early
history of these people. The ev-
olution from the ancient Mex
lean to the modern, has been
followed closely by historians
and no doubt you are familiar
with it, and other notable incl
dents of that country leading up
to the present time, and it is un-
necessary for the purpose of this
article to recall them. Several
hundred years of amalgamation
has developed the individual
with whom our country is advis-
ing to-day, in order to secure to
them a peaceful, prosperous anG
progressive condition. The first
interbreeding with the Spanish
element, now and then developed
strong characters, but the ranl
and file showed no improvement
on this stock. This was due pos

acters with the aid of the chuach,
obtained control of governmental
affairs, and their laws and re-
quirements were such that both |
the church and notorious charac-
tiers got very rich, and the hum
bier classes very poor and really
were not much more than vassals.
The church during the process of
evolution, somehow, has been
dispossessed of it riches and is
poor to-day. The worthy de-
scendents however, of their
strong men, had accumulated
vast estates and still bold the
church in allegiance and the
peon practically an ignorant
servant.
Under the Diaz administration
the peon was slowly coming into
his own. The process of fitting
them for a Republican form of
government was tedious and
troublesome. Schools in the
cities had become well patron
lied. The few rural schools
were poorly tutored and poorly
attended. Yet disposition to
advance to a better citizenship is
shewn. Those of the peon class
who accepted the advantage of
city and rural schools received
enough education to make them
see more clearly their hopeless
condition under their aristocratic
form of government. The rival
ry among the ruling classes, as
to influence, power, graft, to-
gether with the unrest of the
peon, kept the authorities always
on the alert to quell or hinder in
some way, threatened resistance
to authority. The invasion
of the American land owner had
also disquieting influence. The
American boss fed and treated
his labor quite unlike the Mex
lean landlord. The American
standard was the same as that
in the States, where labor is re-
spected and substantial wages
paid. Better living conditions
were meted out to them. The
American knew that half fed la.
Dor was expensive. The tortea
and scant piece of sun dried beef
or goat, did not furnish either
brain, muscle or ambition. The
Mexican we'll fed, works as we'll
as any ignorant laborer, but un-
derfed, must be driven to, a par
tial showing of physical effort.
Americans housed, clothed and
fed them better and could al
ways command all the best labor
they needed.
This condition of affairs con-
spired to jealousy among the
Mexican planters and the "gringo''
the term applies to all Amerl-
cans. The Federal Congress had
passed a law to the effect that
so long as peon was in your ser
vice and in your debt it was a
criminal offense for him or her to
leave without a clean balance
sheet. The Mexican employer
always managed to keep the peon
in his debt.
This law became so offensive
that it was repealed, but the
same hold on the peon was had
under another statute and that
was the obtaining of money under
false pretenSe. The land lord

REVERENCE for titles is born
u in the English blood and it
perneates the mentality of
that nation.
At the same time the English peo-
pie demand more of man and wom-
an of title before admitting them to
their favor than do our American So
ciety circles. We have many cases Of
bogus lords and dukes, counts and bar
ons, who have become social lions, and
even married women of good family
before they were unmasked.
Such an occurrence is unknown in
England, for they have their litera-
ture of caste, and no man would dare
assume a title there without facts to
substantiate the claim. The pretenders
come toAmerica where they know they
can find an entree to our best socie
ty" in many parts of the land merely
through our craze for the titles which
we pretend to despise.
In England a Title Wins a Rev.
erence All Its Own.
But in England when a man or wom-
and bears a title, especially title
which has descended from father to
son for several generations, or centu-
ries, he is sure to receive a peculiar
obeisance from the "commoner,"
which no amount of money or intellect
could obtain for him without the IT,
tie.
A very enterprising and progressive
Englishman expressed concern at the
unorthodox religious tendencies of
friend.
This friend, an American, is a The
osophist and the kindly hearted Eng
iishman, being devoted to the Church
of England and being most conserva-
tive by nature, begged his friend to be
careful about expressing her pagan
ideas, lest she make herself unpopu-
lar.
Then one day she unfolded to him a
surprising faCt-an English lady bear
ing an honored name, granddaughter
of an earl. daughter of an earl and sis
ter of an earl, was an avowed Theoso-
phist, and she had asked the Amerf-

anxious, for though he might not &C

felt they gained certain dignity from

descendant of two earls.
