CIRCULATION (SWORN) OVER 4000
NEW LIGHT ON MEXICO.
Mexico presents a condrtion so pe
culiar that it would not be easy to find
s parallel therefor Inthe experience o"
any people. The situation g"ts inter
esting' descrlptlcn .In correspondence
recently printed In the: New York
Herald, which explains the political
conditions that led to tie nomination
of President Dias fcr another term
notwithstanding a sincere desire on his
part to leave office and enjoy the rest
to which his long service .entitles him.
;'lt appears that a fanatical struggle
Is developing in the republic, and were
lJas to rKire now it would break cut
atcnce. For some time pa? t Diaz has
been anxious to lay down the burdens
of government, and as a preparation
te that end had settled the succession
for' two terms, arranging that Jose
Ives Llrnantour should succeed him
and that Bernardo l:eyos rhould fol
low JLimantour. The two leaders were
aware of tho project cf iJiax and were
in full acccrd with-it, but forces more
powerful than they, and even more
powerful than Diaz himself," broke up
the harmony between them and com-
. pelled the re-ejection cf Diaz as the
only means of keeping the republic at
p:ace. i
Commenting on the rivalry of the
two the Herald correspondent says:
"For many years their personal rela
tions were entirely ccrdial and their
political relation. harmonious, lioth
were personal friends of the President!
and both were h.mily loyal to him,
e ' -
personally and politically. There is no
doubt that both were fully aware of
his plans for the succession, and thero
Is no doubt that they acquiesced in
hm and honestly indorsed them. The
rupture, which was precipitated was
undoubtolly caused by the overzealcus
sctlvity of some of their individual
partisans and followers. As friends
acting in concert they could have car- t
rhd out the plan of Diaz, continued his
polity and perhaps could have carried
Mexiro'to a polrr where her political
footing would have been strong and

It is remembered that in the recent
national convention which nominated

Speakers In advocating the re-e!ccticn
of the President said; "If we are not

' ! Llrnantour Is of French parentage

that counts against him ' with the

"' culllvated mind, a drp student of

IT WAS ALL RIGHT.
Anyhow, the. people who run this
cUrrtry from headquarters at Wash
ington proposed to be right on deck,
and that was proper. Word was re
ceived that the United States " Vice
Consul at Deirut, a Syrian teaport,
had been assassinated. This news
came from Minster Leishman, who is
'rationed at Constantinople.
"Prompt action was taken by the
?IJenJ. He ordered the American

with haste to Beirut. That would mean

It turned out to be a false alarm,
due to an error in a cipher message

country's Vice Consul was" hot killed;
some of the sensational features

the incident vanished. However, the
energetic course of the authorities in

trained for their work -men of high
standing and Irreproachable lives. The
professional Jury would- be yirttxally a
part of the bench and entitled to the
same respect. Mr. Jenks argues that the
system Is quite In line With this age
of specialising tendencies and expert
service. His -j plan necessitates ' ; the
payment of adequate salaries on the

But educated men, particularly pro
fessional men, are apt to be very firm
in their opinions and the Detroit Trib
une opines that "a jury. Including
three lawyers, or men who deem them
selves lawyers, could never agree up
on anything." Similarly it believes
that three doctors, or even two of dif
ferent schools, would stay out until
doomsday before ; reaching an unani
mous verdict in a medical case. Cer
tainly under the proposed system the
unanimous verdict would have to go,
as it has already gone in civil actions
in some of the states. In thinking that
the professional Jury would be as fair
and as free from suspicion as the
judge's bench," Mr. Jenks seems to Ig
nore the frailty of human nature and
the prejudices and idosyncracies of the
individual, however well educated.

It seems that the poultry Industry
Is not conducted on any large scale In
the heart of the city. It is In the out

surrounding the densely populated cen

flourish and henneries abound. As
every feathered seraglio is presided
over" by one or more roosters, the resi
dents have complained that It is Im
possible, for them t,o. sleep after crow
ing time begins. Hence the board of
health has held that to crow before 7
o'clock In the morning is a fowjl crime,
punishable by death. "
From time immemorial all cocks have
arrogated to themselves the privilege
o" beginning to crow at 4 o'clock. Care
less of environment, the New York
roosters are strong on heredity; and it
is more than doubtful whether th
threat of death itself will deter them

of the grounds surrounding the . tir
lHstofUce building -has been receive!
and forwarded to the U. S. Treasury
Department for. approval, but this time
the bids only embrace the filling of the

asked nnd received for the filling of
the grounds, the sowing of them to
grass and the laying of a cement walk
Clear around the square, also the con
struction of a semi-circular driveway

estimated cost of the improvements
($10,000), there being no appropriation
for the same. Thereupon the depart
ment has decided to cut off the c ement
work for the time being, or until after
Congress meets, and makes an. appro
priation for it, and the last bids re
ceived cover all of the work original
ly planned with this exception, the de
partment -being desirous of having ti.e
