TRO UBLE WITH MEXICAN RVS. Bitter Feeling Because Americans
 Hold the Best Jobs.

| MEXICO CITY, July 12.-The false
 report that a receiver for the Ma i t.onal Railways of Mexico had been appointed have been disposed of. the | future of this great system is being i considered. The belief is growing | here that F.. N. Brown will consent to remain president of the railway, and this will mean the sweeping away of many government requirements in railroad administration which proved irlsome and acted d handicap to the executive department of the road. However, the government has not yet delivered it's reply to the demands made by MT. Brown as a condition that he and A. Clark. the general manager. remain in their positions. The first governmental interference came in the days when MT. Liman-
 tour was minister of finance, when American engineers quit the railroad as a result of order made at Mir. Limantours instance that they must stand examination in the Spanish language and that orders and reports must be written in Spanish. At the sume time an order went into effect that in promotions MeXicans must have preference over foreigners if of equal ability.
 This was followed by other orders from time to time which made the retention of foreigners more difficult. and. excepting superintendents and higher officials, the engine drivers and department employees practically were all Mexicans
 It is understood on the highest au- thority that if Mir. Brown consents to remain it will be with absolute au- thority to conduct the railroad along his own ideas. Ever since the railroad came under the control of the gov ernment through a merger it has been . sore spot with MexicanS that Amer jeans held the best paying positions and constant pressure has been brought to bear on the government. through the press and otherwise. to give these positions to Mexicans
 The final blow was an order issued a few days ago for the return to their positions ot three hundred employees who Were removed in order to cut down expenses. The order came from the minister of communications, Da- vid de la F'uente. Under the arrange ment the other employees agreed to accept , per cent reduction in sal aries and the government agreed to make up the deficiency
 When the men appeared at the rail- road offices they were told they could not go to work. In the meantime Mr Brown presented his resignation

LAW AND ORDER.

From the Princess Anne Marylander.
If the facts that come to us through
the daily papers of lawless declara-
tions or acts on the part of residents
of Smiths Island in reference to the
oyster industry are true. but one
opinion can be voiced and that is that
great mistake has been made.
People have no right to violate the
law or TO take the law into their own
hands, no matter how much aggriev-
ed they may feel themselves TO be.
The question Of the invasion Of old
rights by the working of the oyster
law under tha Shellfish Commission
is an involved one. The stalking off
Of leasing grounds, done by legal
authority. may be regarded by oyster
men as an invasion of their prescrip-
tive territory. Still II such bounds
have been established ty legal author
ity, those. who feel aggrieved should
rely upon the courts to see that their
rights are not invaded
II is possible that the statements of
what is alleged to have transpired at
Smiths Island. may have been exag-
gerated. Meetings for the purpose Of
preserving rights of a public char
acter are certainly permissible, If
kept within proper bounds; but II
such meetihgs have a tendency to in
cite revolutionary or violent schemes,
they are unquestionably wrong. The
people of Smiths Island have the
reputation or being a quiet, law-abid-
ing people, and if the newspaper ac-
counts of recent doings in that COM
munity are true. it is most deplor-
able situation.

EDITORIAL OPINION

conditions in the South are not the
same as in this State, there is no diff
ference between them that could enter
into this question. The construction
of public roads by convicts has been
found to be beneficial to the health
Of the convicts themselves and eco
nomical to the State, and to interfere
less with others laborers than any
other use to which convicts could pos
sibly be put Where the system ex-
isis, It is not imposed upon any coun-

provide for an equitable distribution
Of the State convicts among such
counties as wish Them and permits
each county to use its own county

ties which do not desire to use them

MARNING mol YANDALs.

From the Milford Chronicle.
For acts committed which damage
deface or destroy property Of any in
dividual corporation, church. or public
school the State of Delaware has suf-
ficient law to punish any person who
may be guilty of such acts. Oftimes
the thoughtless individual through the
exUberence Of feelings does these
things; and for such there is sym
pathy; but, the people who wantonly
overturn water closets, and befoul
school buildings, have no excuse and
should be punished TO the full extent
of the law.
In the past ten days the school neal
Milford known as Cedar Field
School," has been the victim Of such
vandals, and the school authorities
have offered q reward of SIS for evi.
dence against the men who are under
suspicion An example needs to be
made of all who are guilty of this kind
of offense against the law, and the
courts must do their duty.

Dom Manuel, the exiled King of
Portugal, is to marry Princess Au-
guste Victoria of Hphenzollern, daugh-
ter OF Prince Wilhelm of Hohenzol-
lern-S -Sigmaringen, lieutenant general
in the Prussian Foot Guards. whose
father, in 1866, by a plebiscite. was
called 10 the throne of Roumania. He
renounced his right to succeed his
father in that country the same year.
preferring to serve his kinsman, the
Kaiser, in the German army. The mar
riage is to be celebrated at Potsdam
There is a good deal of conjecture
as to the title which the princess will
bear after her marriage There is no
precedent for dethroned monarch re-
tanning his kingly title, for no exiled
ruler ever was married in that status.
Manuel, however, insists that he never
abdicated and though he rules over
no kingdom, he still pretends to be a
king. But he does not call himself
King of Portugal. and his future wife
will be known as Queen Auguste. The
royal pair will set up their permanent
home in London
Since the palace revolt at Cintra,
Manuel, who then fled to England, has
become a prominent figure in London
society, where his entire lack of for
mality and democratic demeanOr pair
ed with a kindly disposition have made
him a welcome guest Everywhere. He
gees about freely to theatres and res
taurants in the city.
In the past two years King Man
uel's name has often been coupled
with that of royal ladies as his pos
sible choice. These included the young
Duchess of Fife (niece of King George
of England), Princess Beatrice Of
SaXe-Coburg (now the wife of Prince
Charles de Bourbon. King Alfonso's
brother-in-law) The recently betroth-
ed daughter of the Kaiser also was
mentioned-mere gossip-and later
the daughter Of Don Miguel, pretend
er to the throne of Portugal
The future queens mother died in
1903 at Cannes. She was Princess
Maria Theresa of Bourbon. Sicily.
Though the Kaiser, as the head of the
entire Hohenzollern family, gave mis-
consent to the union (there are ever
so many Hohenzollern princesses TO
be provided for) yet King Manuel is
sadly in error If he expects that Ger
many. will aid him in his efforts to re-
gain mis- lost throne.
The discussion of Manuel's ap-
preaching marriage recalls that his

makers to Brazil the arbitrary impris-
onment of monarchist sympathizers
did not end conspiracies nor attempts
at sedition, EVEN though neighbOring
Spain has decided not TO permit Por-
tlgal political refugees to seek home
within her boundaries.
Perhaps the Portuguese government
has been the victim Of an excessive
zeal of its own (real or alleged) par
tizans, who formed secret societies 10
carry arms illegally and manufacture
bombs under the pretext of assisting
in the restoration of law and order
and the punishment of guerrilla royal
lists.
The republic in Portugal never
yet has been placed upon a satisfac-
tory working basis since its establish
ment. The deposition of the youthful
monarch, followed by the proclama-
ton of the republic in October, 1910,
somehow has failed to make good as
the heralded panacea for all politi-
cal evils. To begin with, there was
the burning issue of the separation OF
Church and State. Then came the
disorders incident to the establish
ment of constitutional government
with an equable electoral law. Be-
sides the new administration contin-
ually had to face the upper or neither
milestone of latent or evident royal
list enthusiasm, as well as the dissat-
lsfaction of radicals only nominally
on the side of the new order of things
because their Utopican schemes have
not been realized at once.
If a report that has found its way
into Pail Mall Club circles is based
on fact, the Portuguese authorities
have invoked the aid of the British
foreign office in restoring order, and
the reign of law in the ill-fated repub-
lie This is very significant. It has

From the Delmar News-Herald.
One has only to take a trip in any
direction fom Delmar to observe the
vastly improved farming conditions
over that of twenty years ago. The
lands which were then considered per-
haps the least valuable are now among
the most profitable. Where corn aud
wheat was once the staple, an almost
infinite variety Of crops are now
grown for market with the result that
the shore is fast becoming a great

patent has now become almost as gen
eral as in the Western States. One
notes, too, the increasing desire for
