ANOTHER NEUTRALITY vIOLATOR

Francisco Madero made a number OF mistakes DUR
ing his brief OCCUPANCY of the presidential chair III Mex
leo. One of these mistakes cost him his life and plunged
the country into a new revolution. He trusted Huerta,
Blanouet and the cientifico element in Mexico City, and
they requited his trust by shooting him in the back. AN
other mistake of Madero, if all reports, are true mas re-
suited in a new revolution, headed by Felix Dlaz.
This worthy was responsible for the first outDreak
against Madero, which proved abort1ve. lie was captured
and his followers dispersed. Instead OF hanging MIN at
once. Madero inclined to the side of Mercy, and eventually
Diaz was able to play a part in the murder OF the man
who spared him and the overthrow OF the government
He was directly responsible in a great measure Tor the
woes which have followed, even though it be true that
he was banished by Huerta.
Now it is claimed that Diaz is to take the t1eld as a
liberal: that he proposes to restore peaceful conditions and
a stable government. incidentally he says he will punish
those who participated in the Huerta coup. These things
are set forth in a manifesto which may or may not De
authentic. If Diaz really issued it and has gone to MEX
leo to lead a new revolt very few people Will be deceived,
although it is probable the troubles of the distracted re-
public NAV be prolonged for another year or two: MS
is certain to be the case if the cientif1co element OF Mexico
CITY pursue their usual treacherous course, which is qu1e
probable. Carranza with all his faults and shortcomings
has not been fool enough to follow the example OF Ma
dero and give these fellows a chance to aSsass1nate nm.
Therefore he is remaining away from the capital city I'M
Il the country is fully pacified.
1t is too bad that the United States has been COM
PEELED to grant the right of asylum to many of the pc1t1-
cal refugees of Mexico. Nearly every one OF tEem mas
violated his obligation by engaging in plots and CON
spiracies while under the protection of the American flag,
and their presence in this country has been attended by
any amount Of vexation and worry upon the part OF the
authorities. Felix Diaz is the latest offender, and the
next time he crosses the border he should be promptly ar
rested and turned over to the Mexican government, he
same course should be followed with the other con
spirators. who have abused the hospitality of the United
States. Such a course would prevent future trouble

RELIEF FROM ABSENTEE OWNERSHIP

so long, Hetty' was one of the mottos inscribed on
the banners used to decorate the streets OF the mining
settlement of Suffer Creek on the occasion OF a recent
celebration of the re-Openlng OF HayWardS old Eureka
mine. Mrs. Hetty Green, an affluent lady residing in New
York, had owned this mining property unproduct1vely for
many wears: in fact, it had lain idle for the time of a gen
Grafton. We echo the so long, and hope to see other
idle owners of valuable mining property advised or COM
PEELED to end a policy of dog-n-tnemanger whereby so
large a part of the public domain is alienated to no use
full purpose.
We congratulate the citizens of the little town in
Amador county on the resumption of operations at this
famous California mine and feicitate the community on
the fact that the task of reopening the deeper workings,
closed since the fire of 1875, should be in the hands of so
experienced miner and manager as Mr.. I. Walker Beam.
We shall all watch the disclosure Of the bottom levels and
slopes with keen interest, not only to see how much of
truth there is in the stories about the ore left in the mine,
but also to observe to what extent the latest methods of
mining and milling, conjoined to the lower cost of sup
plies, will enable the new owners to treat veinstone that
was improbable forty years ago.
It is a fine adventure and we hope it may be rewarded
abundantly. incidentally this reopening of the old Eureka
mine draws attention to the awakening of interest in the
mother lode region, from Sonora, in Tuolumne, to Ply
mouth, in Amador county.-Mining and Scientific Press.

A NEW SENATORIAL CANDIDATE

The Tribune prints today an announcement that Will
appeal with peculiar interest to the people OF Goldt1eld
and Southern Nevada as it is certain to appeal, as time
goes on. to the progressive business sentiment OF the
State. 1t is the announcement OF the candidacy OF MIR.
States Senate to become vacant on the 18th of March,
Io1z, and to be filled at the general election next Novem-
Der.
The Tribune, in pursuance OF its fixed policy, will not
attempt to influence the people III their selection OF can
didates at the primaries, but 1t can with all propr1ety at
this time suggest to the republican voters OF the state the
wisdom OF withholding Judgment upon a choice at the
primaries pending full consideration of the merits of all
candidates.
The Tribune holds to the doctrine that this office be-
longs to the people, and that no candidate has any per
sonal claim upon it. The voter whose choice in such
matters is determined by his wish to help somebody of
his personal liking, is not only sacrificing his own inter
est. but holds lightly the responsibility OF the franchise.
What Nevada wants, and what every constituency should
desire, is the man who can render the greatest service to
the State. The obligation is to the State and not to the
candidate.
The Tribune holds in high esteem the other two re-
publican candidates in the field, and has nothing OF dis
paragement of their candidates.. But it can commend to
the republicans of the State and to voters generally this
latest entry as a man whose legislative training, whose
Familiarity with the work of the senate through a period
of wears. whose business training, whose intimate asso-
citation with the business and commercial life of the
State and the Nation, have equipped him as few men have
been equipped for the service to which his friends and ac-
quaintances in this and other sections of Nevada will urge
his election.

PAYMENT OF LABOR IN MEXICO

Labor conditions in Mexico are deplorable. A year
ago last summer poems were paid a peso a day, and the
peso was then equivalent to about 80 cents in gold. Al
though the average rate of wages has since nominally
risen to about a peso and a half, the value of the peso in
o"ld has been as low as from four to six cents or there
ahouts. So in our money the Mexican laborer commands
only from about six to nine cents a day. Moreover, prices
al food and other commodities have risen in proportion as
the peso has declned-Sacramento Bee.

There are IS forts surrounding Nerdun. and the
Germans claim to have taken only one of them. But if all
the forts were demolished, which might be done, for the
German artillery seems able to demolish anything, still
there would be the French army to reckon with before
Nerdun could be taken. 1t is claimed by General )offre
that only one-seventh of the French troops in the vicinity
of Nerdun have as yet participated actively in the defense.
In the Il DAYS days which have passed since the battle
began the French have had plenty of time to bring great
reserves of men and additional munitions so that they
should be in better shape to make a successful resistance.

CHINESE PROTEST
 MOVE TO RECALL
 CONSUL GENERAL
Telegraph President Asking That Frisco Official May
 Stay Here.

San Francisco, Aug. 21.-The Chi nese Consolidated Benevolent associa- tion, better known as the Chinese SIX Companies, the organization that rep resents commercial China in America, sent a teIegraphic protest last night to President Wilson asking him to prevent the removal from San Fran cisco of Chinese ~onsul General Shu Shan Chin. Officials of the Six Com panies declared that the consurs re- call had been requested by Secretary of Labor Wilson.
 The charge against him. they said, was his activity in protesting against "the intolerable delays and exactions of the immigration service in landing merchants and other members of the exempt class at this port"
 The telegram reads:
 "The condition attending the treat ment of Chinese mercantile classes has been permitted by the bureau Of labor to go on unchecked. Protests have been futile to secure courteous treatment and of prompt landing or Chinese merchants, students and even native-American born Chinese.
 Under the exclusion act our bank CTS, merchants and students have the r1gnC 10 enter tn1S country uuoeT ccI. tain business restrictions.
 'The countless wrongs and insults to which the immigration service sub jected these exempt classes we have endeavored on many occasions to rec move by respectful protests but with out effect.
 Our merchant princes who come here prepared to throw open to the United States the rich and inexhaust- ible stores of Oriental trade and com- merce through Pacific coast ports are. on their arrival, hearded in a deten- ton shed and their wives are held in custody during weeks and often months of investigation, instead of be- ing landed under unquestioned bonds las humanity demands. Students who seek nothing but an opportunity to learn the English language as a means to advancing the friendliness and trade of the two countries and even American-born Chinese are kept in the immigration station for months with their cases undecided.
 Against this abuse, Consul General Shu respectfully directed a protest and submitted scores of cases fnvolv- ing departmental delay of the grossest nature. The only answer he has re- ceived is an intimation of his re- moval."
