long a term of years as may be necessary to insure a
reasonable degree of stability and safety upon the
withdrawal of the American forces.
There is but one way for Mexico to avert this drastic
remedy, which, however beneficial it would be to Mex.
leo Cand it would be greatly sO), would nevertheless be
resented bv many Mexicans and would be subject to
misconstruction throughout Latin-America. That one
way is for Mexico to accept the situation as it is and
to allow the United States forces Peaceably to police
the disturbed regions and to cross the border at Will
in pursuit of bandits, without any show Of resistance
by the forces Of the de facto government.
The Americans have abundantly proved their benefi.
cent intentions. There is no sentiment in the United
States to Justify aggressive acts against Mexico for any
purpose Of territorial or financial gain. Mexico must
make up her mind to accept these assurances, for there
is no evidence to justify any other opinion about the
attitude of the American people.
A good deal is heard here on the border about Gins
tervention," and certain important newspapers in the
United States are busily trying to stir up Intervention
sentiment. But the feeling in the country as a whole
is strongly opposed to it, and congress, as at present
constituted. never would consent to it, except as a very
last resort, after every prospect Of successful avoidance
had been exhausted. Intervention is, as yet, neither
necessary nor desirable.
The Herald regards the Texas outrage as calling
for no other reprisal or corrective action than the
Columbus precedent plainly calls for. The troops all
ready in Mexico should be strongly reinforced. The
border patrol should be strengthened. The American
forces should have a freer hand in pursuing bandits, and
they should be backed up to the limit by the Washing.
ton government. The Glen Springs bandits must be
pursued on Mexican soil to death or capture
If these expeditions, no matter how carefully con.
Quoted or how valuable their genuine services to the law
abiding people of Mexico, should finally lead TO serious
and clashes of government forces, the United
would have to accept the situation and proceed

Mexican Peon In Need OF Soap And Education
Some Of His Leaders Are In Need OfLead Filling

~IE peon is a bright subject OF the
Mexican government, whose prin-
cipal occupation consists in rails
ing fourteen distinct varieties of con-
t%iuuous and explosive hell. Not all Of
the Mexican poems follow this occu-
patton the year around, but there are
enough OF them who prefer the war
path TO blowing corn to keep your
Uncle Samuel awake nights.
The only man in Mexico who was
ever able to keep the peon i'm a sub
dued and docile state was the late
porfirio Diaz. Mr.. Diaz was a stern
man with a Jaw shaped like a cement
block, and he always got in the first
lick. as Macaulay would say. When
ever Diaz heard that a bunch Of long
haired poems had become fired with
patriotism and American whisky and
were about to uprise, he did not wait
to confirm the report by letter. He
started for the scene Of the uprising
before daylight. and when he had fin
what he a to say the still
OF his enemies could be seen
draped over the ~neighbors' fences for
a distance Of six miles. Nobody but
