CONDITIONS
IN MEXICO.

CAPTAIN Chadwick,in a c0mmunica-
ton to the New York Sun gives an
elaborate description of conditions IN
Mexico and the cause. Among other
things the captain says:
"Mexico has been governed by an
upper class mainly of Spanish blood
which owns the land and wealth Of
that country.
Below this class is an ignorant, i'm
moral, intdrperate mass Of fifteen
times perhaps as numerous as ths
other owning nothing, and practically
scrfs to the million, say of the first
class. Mexico is the Russia of two
generations since, with the aided
great difficulty that these serfs are
[ of several very divers races of Indians
with mixtures of all degrees. Mexico
is thus fundamentally Indian in blood
ard temperament; not Spanish.
''The unrest of this great mass 9 ,
Indians and people Of Indian mixture,
ground since the Spanish conquest
under the milestone of slavery, is the
main cause of the revolution. They
% not know what they want; the
i!only know that they do net wan
hwtat they have, which is nothing.
Their revolt has almost as little of &C
tual mentality when one goes bell
/ the ,eadcrs,Gs has the movement CT an
| Earthquake, to which in way it may
Hbe compared. AnJ they are going to
continue to revolt until they have some
of the benefits of life; land to culti-
waite and the right to live their Eve
itfor themselves instead of for the
! (practicaD owners. Thus any dicta-
tor set up by the higher class can only
exist by armed suppression Of this
lower class, as did Diaz "a model
dcspot" y

GATHERING AT
1.-THE MONUMENT.

| The annual impressive scene, be-
gan twenty-five years ago when the
Confederate, Monument was unveiled
at the intersection of Prince and
Washington streets. was repeated
yesterday evening as the day was wa;
drawing to a close. On the 24thi day
of : May, 1889, when the veTl iwas
drawn aside from the heroic figure
representing the lone Confederate f,lf E
soldier facing the southern country
with downcast eyes, the late General
IFitzhugh Lee made the principal
address which was published in full
in the Gazette and read all over the
country. Yearly from that day to
this speakers have virtually reitera-
tied what the speaker uttered at that
! time-that the south has nothing
for which to apologize. Its people
from the first believed they were
right, They believe $50 now and
ever will, although they bow to the
decision of the sword.
Major ]. C. Hemphill, who was the
orator yesterday, enthused his hear
,ers with the same message. AS
speakers who have preceded nm, ne
too, showed the business OF the cause
flor which the southern people con-
tended. They merely insisted upon
ltheir rights-rights assured them at
the formation of the government Oh
the United States. Major Hemphlll
made many apt illusions to history
and conditions existing before and
after the civil war and the conten-
tions thereto.
at was a war of criminal aggres-
sion, and on the part of the South
it was defense against invasion"
declared the Major. The speaker
paid a glowing tribute to those who
wore the gray, and added that they
kept the faith, as the records at
test. These words, few though they
be, tell the story.

HOME RULE
IN IRELAND.

Ireland is at last to have par
Lament. The. commons consists OF
1854 members, of which Ulster Will
elect SO. The senate consists of 40
members, named by the imperial
government, or the lord lieutenant.
"rhe withered branch" as Ma
caulay terms Ireland, will now have
an opportunity to become green and
spread out, as it should have done
years ago. The passage of the home
rule bill by tn British House of
Commons yesterday caused shouts
of rejoicing to ascend not only over
the Emerald Isle, but the greater
portion of the United States where
sons of Hibervlia are to be found.
In the days of Gladstone he at
tempted to secure home rule for Ire
land, but the movement has been
sidetracked and impeded first by one
thing and then another while mil
lions died without seeing their
dreams crystalize. The House OF
Lords has been the main barrier Tn
the way, but Notwithstanding the
opposition of this body, its vetoes
have been ignored and the House OF
Commons, the pUDse of the nation,
has dccreed that Ireland shall have
home rule.
As is welt-known, there is fierce
opposition in Ulster against home
rule, and it is the conviction OF many
onlookcrs that trouble is sure to
come. There was saying among
the ancient Romans to the effect that
things we most dread never happen
1t may be so with Ireland At any
rate, let us hope that serenity viii
accompany the setting up of the
home government. There is TIC
good reason why factions in that
country cannot live, move and have
their being pcaceably and content
eddy.
The Irish are liberty loving
people. Had they received the
treatment from the mother govern
ment which was their due, the coun
try never would for years been the
withercd branch of a great empire
But it has been reserved for thu
twentieth century for Hibernia AMI
Brittania to go hand in hand, as they
ever should.
When julius Caesar made con
quest of Britain and annexed 1t Il
the Roman Empire he did not In
wade Ireland. While the aborigine:
of the English isle were PRACTICAL.
Roman serfs, Hibernia was enjoying
freedom from the iron yoke which
had been placed upon practically ev
cry other nation. Ia was not tn,
province of a Caesar to subjugat
Ireland, but the people Of an ad
!. Joining isle after they had broker
the Roman chains from their ow,
necks. Ireland has waited long 70

e MORE INTERESTING
at Dinner in
New York Decide to Have
-Four Picked Men From
Each State.

There is a possibility that the tristate
matches for the Robert w. Lesley Cup
will be far more interesting another year
If the plans talked over at the dinner to
tho contestants from Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania by the Metropolitan Golf
Association at Baltusrol arc put into
effect
The plan Is TO have four men selected
from each district, preferably those who
have played in past Lesley cup matches
In addition to the ten regulars. 1t has
been the custom for the team holding the
cup to lay idle the first day, meeting the
winners on the second day in the de-
cisive match for the trophy. Under the
new plan the four extra men from each
district will form team of their own
and play a sociable match with the cup
holders the first day.
