Making Americans.
(Meriden Record. )

Some aliens "Americanize'' very fast in America. If we may trust the reports that come from Wall street, General Victoriano Huerta is an example. He is said to pass the hours of exile in the study of the ticker and to have taken several suc- cessful flyers in the street. Sur prise at this manifestation of fnan- cial resources disappears" says the Boston Transcript" with the ref1ec i. ton that revolutionizing is one of the most lucrative professions follow ed in Mexico. Every president, pro- visional, or otherwise. has been a rev. olutionist in his apprenticeship to power Some presidents of Mexico are deposed. some die with their botts on, but none die poor. Diaz is in very comfortable circumstances, and Huerta Is in circumstances still more comfortable, for he is near enough to Mexico to watch the course of events without exposing himself to danger and has ready money enough to enjoy the sights of New ork,' one of which is Wall street"
