The people read with interes; this
morning a manifesto issued by Gen.
Diaz. From his headquarters in the
arsenal the rebel leader sent this mes
sage to the people Of Mexico and OF the
United States:
The American public which has al
ways shown itself so jealous in regard
TO the sovereignty OF other States, may be
assured that the revolution Will not omit
any effort properly to guarantee the lives
and property interests OF the subjects Of
the United States. The revolution will do
this with the same pains with which II
Will regard its own people and all fo'-
egners without any distinction or dis
elimination.
consequently there need be no thought
OF the necessity OF intervention, II this
revolution, which relies wholly on public
opinion and the elements necessary To
convert it into a strong govcrnms 4 on
the basis of well understood patriotism
and Of respect for law and order with
ardor for peace and progress, should.
itself alone. be capable OF giving effective
guarantee for the persons and interests
established in the republic.

There was renewed talk in the capital
to-day concerning the possibility or the
return of Porfirio Diaz. who is now in
Egypt Gen. Felix Diaz has intimated
that his uncle may return II the revolu-
tion is successful and that the former
President may act in an advisory ca
pacity TO the new Government. Few
here believe that the elder Diaz will
ever take Office again as head OF the
republic. But there IL n widespread be-
lief that the vigorous old General would

that he refused to abide by his own

Sups. OF schools in Burleigh County,
North Dakota, with their wives,
visited their brother A. D. Vigness
on Monday and Tuesday. Yesterday
morning they all autoed to their
brothers home on Highland Prairie
H. A Vigness joined the company in
a reunion with their father Ole L.
Vigness, on the occasion of his SOth
birthday. 1t is about twenty years
since the boys were all at home at one
time. One sister, Emma, in Cali
fornia and another in Montana we're
unable to come.
Ole VigneSs was n of the early
settlers On Highland Prairie dating
his arrival there in 1858. He was en-
gagged actively in working his farm
located 6 miles south of Peterson, I'M
til in 1908 when he moved to High
land where he is now living. The
echoes from the dints and h~ardships
of pioneer life now already in evidence
for he walks around very little and
that with difficulty, and so spends
most of his time in a rocker. The
"boys" and their families came sudd-
emily to celebrate the day with their
father and brought with them a COM
Portable easy chair as a present to the
octogenarian.
The reunion will be pleasantly
remembered although only four of
the six living children we're able to be
present., The boys expect to depart
to their respective fields of work again
tomorrow.

The Sioux City Tribune describes,
the resolutions adopted at the Sioux
Falls convention as "Spineless."

The StAlwart Democratic meeting
has come and gone, they met at Sioux
Falls last Friday, looked at them
selves and went away.
However, some favorable indica-
tions are visible In the resolutions
adopted which endorse a number OF
progressive measures; namely, a ma
tional primary law; representation In
national republican conventions &C
cording to party vote; woman suffrage;
the demand that the electorate be
sober and temperate sound we'll COM
Ing from that source. The favoring
Of IN amendment of Our state consti-
tuition to establish equitable taxation
sounds good, O. does the reference to
our educational law. On the whole
they show symptoms Of accepting the
inevitable situation that the country
h progressive and that they will leave
their old time efforts to stem public
opinion. Upon such . footing we can
- hopes for acloser alignment Of the
factions In the state. In this con
nection IL may be we'll to say that the
republican state organization will
doubtless b willing to meet them on
! fair basis and In due time give all
N opportunity TO fall In under the
republican banner. From the nation
81 standpoint II will be time enough
u a0t after the Republican National
Committee shall have met and de-
ctded whether or not they will change
hteir policy and rules to conform to
public sentiment and demand. In
the meantime the present republican

mary goes into effect. Under this
lAw the majority faction who support
Cd Byrno for Governor will select
their proposal committee and the
minority faction who supported Egan
