number who have served notably long

MORE SOLDIERS:


A recent edition of the Fort Worth
Record Herald contains a letter from q
lady in Brownsville in which mention is
made of the practically unprotected state
of Brownsville. 1t does not appear that
many people of Brownsville are alarm
ed. but investigation would probably dis
close a rather widespread feeling among
citizens that there ought to be more sol
diers here. Our relations continue to be
friendly with the Constituencies in
Matamcros as they were with the FEEDER
ais. But in war, events happen suddenly
and Unexpectedly. And they sometimes
bring along with them disagreeable con
ditions. We are not afraid OF the people
who are now in MatamorOs any moro
than We had reason TO fear those who
were formerly in possession. The, people
who might scome into possession keep us
more or less on the anxious seat. We
should not object is Uncle Sam found it
convenient to use some more Of the gov
eminent reservation for camping ground
for a few more of his soldiers.

MEXICO
Ts~~'

It NAV be well for the American gov
m to take charge Of the coming
elections. i'm Mexico. provided an invita-
ton to do so is extended by the contest
ing parties in ONE satisfactory way. IL
must be admitted, however, that no one
so far has been able to suggest that sat
isfactory way.
When the minds of people are inflam"d
bv political hatred. and when, in the fur-
mace of civil war. that hatred has become
seven times heated. it is seldom that they
will listen TO reason. Yet if the election
is really expected to settle anything
some such plan as that of the suggested
mediation would have to be adopted. 1T
is as certain as anything in this world
can be, that neither Mexican faction will
abide by the result of any election con
Quoted in the territory OF or under the
direction of the other.
YET a satisfactory reasonably sat
isfactory-expression of the will OF the
people of Mexico. expressed under con
stitutional forms, is the one hope of the
country-the one prospect for peace.
1t would not, perhaps. be derogatory
to the dignity of the United States, to
offer to mediate in the matter of the ell
action. 1t is certain that the offer would
be misunderstood by some. and would be
misrepresented by others. Yet surely If
accepted. the result would be worth
while. The absolute refusal of this c9un-
try to NEEDLE in Mexican affairs in the
face of temptations to do so, and despite
every prOvOcation to do so, should be to
the Mexican people an absolute guaran-
tee of our good faith: that we intend
them no harm: that we wish them moth
ing but peace and prosperity. 1t must
be that the distracted country is tired
of the ~bloOdshed and rapine. the destitu
ton and suffering and all the innum-
cradle horrors of their internecine strife.
What they need is a constitutional cleo
tion wherein the will of the people shall
be lawfully expressed. to be followed by
a complete submission to that will. That
outcome would be a greater triumph for
Mexico than for the nation that helped
her to solve her problems. 1t would give
her better credit and standing in the
business world han all her resources
pawned to carry on a civil war.

THE RETURNED AMBASSADOR.

Ambassador Wilson returned to the
United States in a peeyish. irritated
frame Of mind. He does not come to be
Judged but he comes to open court for
the a~rraignment and trial Of Mr.. Wilson
and his cabinet. He has no accounts to
render. but some to receive.
Also he comes to stay: in which SIN
pie fact may lie the reasons why he is
peeveG. bitter and cOmbative.
He does not like the way Wilson went
about ascertaining real conditions in
Mexico: he should have used the ambaS
sadOr. pro TEN, in Mexico City as his
source Of information. He does not like
the way BRYAN trusted important work
to Hale and Del Vale. and gave out to
them secret codes.
Therefore being peeved. eXasperatcd,
and irritated. he goes about insulting
his superior officers, including the pres
ident and the head Of the state depart
ment, by giving out important parts of
the information he was summoned to i'm
part privately.
However, is may be only fair to say
that the information given out may only
be information given out in the ancient
diplomatic sense of the term. For he tells
the public there are no rebels i'll Mex
leo, except Il fe win : nora. No rebels in
Mexico! Publish it not in TOrreOn: wills
per not in the streets of MatamOro~.
Still. let us curb our amaZement. The
word bandit may be only a diplomatic
substitute for the word rebel. However.
rebels or bandits the president would
like to know what Ambassador Wilson
knows about it.

General Blanca and Henry Lane Wilson
are far far apart in the stories they
tell. According to Generl BlancO. the reb
els seem to think they are somewhere
on the ~earth-OUtside of Sonora.
