 Splits De FactO Followers.

LAREDO, Texas, April 20.-1nter- nal politics, used as a lever in an ef- fort to regulate Mexico's course in in- ternational affairs, have brought about situation of the utmost gray- ity in that republic according to trav- elers just arrived from the Mexican capital.

ONE of our prominent citizens is talking of raising a colony of pacifists and migrating to some favored spot where war and war talk will be un- known. He proposes that the people who desire peace take their goods and ehattels and hunt an abiding place where they can have eternal quiet. Of course he is single man and will compose his colony of bachelors, for where the weary married man lays his head there is no such word as peace.

FARMERS have come into their own at last and are receiving top prices for their farm products. There fore it is hard to convince the aver age agriculturist that the present war is not a divine dispensation of Provi- dence to give him a chance for once in his life time of making more than a living off his farm. This peace talk listens to a farmer like man read ing Puck for hearty laugh. There is nothing to it.
