From Tuesdays Salt Lake Tribune
The stage 10 set for . stirring play in
many parts of this busy world OF ours
during the present week. In Mexico
the decisive battle Of the present wal
will be fought at Torreon. In England
and Ireland the struggle for home rule
il expected to reach a climax which may
result in open rebellion on the part OF
the Ulster covenanters, backed by the
titled aristocracy. In France the scan-
dial arising from the disappearance OF
the banker, Rochelle. will be probed,
with the killing Of Editor Calmette By
Madame Caillaux playing a prominent
part in the inquiry. In the United
States the feature is the repeal of the
canal tolls exemption. the leaders OF the
party in power being arrayed against
the President, making the result doubt
full.
Upon the outcome of the impending
battle at Torreon hinges the fate OF
the Huerta government. for II Villa
wins the road to the Mexican capital
10 open and the revolutionists may be
expected to gain in numbers and
strength as they march along. Diaz
abdicated under pressure from the citi-
ZEN Of the City of Mexico when it be-
came certain that Madero would ulti.
mately triumph. Under similar circum.
stances it appears to be a foregone con-
olusion that history will repeat itself
and Huerta be likewise eliminated.
Moreover. the policy of the United States
will be influenced by the result of the
Torreon fight. So the fate Of Mexico
will hang trembling in the balance for
the next few days.
The home rule dispute In Great
Britain has reached a point where some
thing must give way under the strain
unless . compromise can be reached.
The possibility Of rebellion in Ulster,
disaffection in the army and navy. the
renewal Of the struggle for the mastery
between the lords and the commons. all
portend evil to the empire upon which
the sun never sets, as the boastful Eng
lishman is wont to exclaim. The pres
emit week ought to settle the question OF
civil war, for q long-drawn.out contro-
versy would make . clash sc arms GER
tain, with all the horrors attendant
upon such q fratricidal struggle, which
in the end could have no other possible
result than the elimination Of the House
Of Lords as an hereditary legislative
body.
The royalists Of France have shown
signs of activity since Calmette was
shot down in his Office by the wife OF
Finance Minister Caillaux. the Rochelle
scandal, in which Caillaux and other
members of the government were more
or less involved. being revived after 1t
had been practically smothered. Cal.
mette was . royalist. and his fellows
have taken advantage of the excitement
of the hour to make an assault not only
upon the present government. but on
the republic as well. II the royalisi
sentiment ia formidable il will develop
during the Rochelle investigation and
the trial Of Madame Caillaux. 1t does
not seem probablethat another monarchy
or empire could be erected in France,
yet q serious attempt may be made &c
change the existing order Of things upon
she spur Of the moment. before the froth
10 blown away by the wind.
The tension in the United States IL
political. The country is in no danger
Of witnessing an upheaval such as has
occurred in Mexico and which looms
large 1t the present moment in bott
Great Britain and France. The Presi
dent has attempted to force repeal o.
the canal toll exemption clause in thu
Panama Canal act. breaking with th'
leading members Of his W party ano
turning his back upon the platform upoI
which be was elected. At first il seemed
probable that the will of the ~executiv,
would be law and that Congress would
bow to his wishes. Later development
have shown that the opposition pos
sssses sufficient power to prevent the
matters coming before Congress fol
some time, leaving the result very much
in doubt until the vote is taken. A
forecast ought TO be possible before the
end Of the week.
From . survey of the field it will be
seen that il Shakespeare's notion Of
the world being . stage is correct the
actors now treading the boards are
capable of holding the attention Of an
audience composed Of the civilized
world. Their exits aud their entrancei
are fraught with the greatest p~ossibili
ties and the interest in box, PIT and
gallery is sure to be intense. so III
