OCCASIONS.

1t is clearly apparent that an iron
hand is necessary to rule Mexico-tO
keep the hot-headed populace in
subsection. 1t is not SO much diplo-
macy that is needed in that country
as it is force OF arms. Old Porfirio
Diaz knew how to govern the repub-
lie. He kept the country in compar-
alive peacefulness, but he accom-
plished this by means of militarism
he kept the people in constant
fear. Diaz was not, as is generally
supposed, a quiet, unassuming gen.
tleman-he was veritable despot in
disguise. Madero, on the other
hand, was a man Of directly opposite
inclination-he sought to rule by
methods of gentleness and philoso-
phic persuasion. He was ayerse to
the execution of men for mere politi-
cal crimes, and even ordered the life
of Felix Diaz, the arch enemy of his
administration who stirred up rev.
olution in Vera Cruz, spared. Ma
dero was not adapted by nature to
rule a population like that of Mexico
he was too good a man.

present from many parts of the

London, Countess Blackhandowitz
from St. Petersburg and Duchess
Stiletto from Italy. The noble army
of rainbow chasers had previously
declared that they were determined

this end--they conveyed the impress

They Bring Forth No Good.

This country has had a surfeit of
congressional and legislative investi-
cations during the past few years
and they have cost a good round
sum of money, and at the same time
have resulted in very little practical
good to anybody except those who
have received the cash appropriated
by congress or the legislature to pay
the expenses connected with these
Investigations. There seems to be a
feeling of distrust-which is growing
stronger from year to year-of public
men, men prominent in the financi
al, industrial and social affairs of the
country which is not we'll for us as a
nation nor as individuals, and it
would be just as we'll, even better, if

According to an English law-the
malicious damage act--a person who
sets fire to a public building may be
sentenced to term of penal servi-

sooner or later, such sentence will be
their portion. The imposition of so
drastic a penalty upon some of the
militants would probably prove an
incentive to their sister anarchists
to desist from their evil ways.
