THE PESSIMIST.

He is usually defined as the man
who habituahy looks for the bad in
his associates and environment. Be
cause he finds many points to criticise
the world treats him the same way
and generally worse. But this man
is not trying to hinder the progress
of others; he is endeavoring to find
his own happiness. His method of
going about it is odd and different
because in some way his heart has
been embittered against the world
He does not seek the unhappiness OF
himself or of any one else, so why
not ignore his temporary illusion? Ii
unconsciously his purpose is wrong
the error will in time destroy itself

ORDERED OUT OF MEXICO.

The serious thangs that have been
predicted as likely to happen in Mex
leo developed yesterday with startling
rapidity.
Following the presentation Of d
communication from Carranza notify
ing the United States that it is time
TO treat for the withdrawal of the
American troops in Mexico, came the
news of serious encounter between
Americans and Mexicans in the town
of Parral. This was followed by n
further telegram from Carranza in
sisting on the necessity of withdraw
ing the troops.
Altho Washington officials declared
that the first communication woula
not change the plan Of the Mexican
campaign, the encounter at Parral
and Carranza's message seem to leave
no other alternative than withdrawal
or war. And if there is to be con
flict between the United States and
the alleged government of Mexico II
is grave question of military ex-
pediency whether the expedition that
has penetrated so far into Mexico
ought to be allowed to remain there
The present unpleasant situation is
the natural, and one may almost say
inevitable result of the make believe
policy toward Mexico. We have treat
ed the Mexicans as tho they were {
self governing nation when they were
not a self governing nation. we
have recognized Carranza as the heat
of the de facto government Wien ht
was not the head of the de factt
government.
If Carranza had been worthy Of
recognition by the United States II
would not have been necessary to sene
the American expedition into Mexi.
CO. If it was necessary to send that
expedition into Mexico to do what
the Carranza government could OF
would not do, then it was supreme
folly to continue to treat Carranza
as the head Of responsible civilized
government.
The one satisfactory thing about
the whole miserable business is that
the American administration will now
be compelled to either get out of
Mexico and stay out, or else it will
have to intervene in Mexico for the
purpose of bringing the restoration
of peace and of civilized government,
without regard to the wishes of Car
rama in the matter.
Intervention has been the inevitable
end of the Mexican trouble since the
beginning anyhow, and the whole
miserable business of disgraceful
evasion, procrastination and incompe-
tence has been time lost, money
wasted and lives sacrificed, and prop
erty destroyed and most woeful dis
honor to the American name.-Pueb-

very much the work of these papers.
We are glad to see the papers and
