i resident uiaz, in liin message to
1110 AmoriMti Congress, refers with
justifiable jiriilo to tho progress wbloti
uas ucon mauo in tno ucpuoiio in ro
cent years, and commends tho ap'
proaching throa Americas Congress,
to which Mexico will send represents
lives. Our relations with Mexico are,
indeed, mnoh pleasanler than they
were a few years ago, when the border
raids threatened to provoke conflict,
and when our sister ropubllo had not
Decomo absorbed in works of imnrovo
mont, and tho peoplo had plenty of
iciBuro 10 Droou over mo embers of ro-
senlment growing out of tho Mexican
war and think bitter things of Ameri
cans. To-day the boundary question
U not settled, but it is in a fair way to
sememcm j American capital baa add
cd Bovcral thousand miles of railroad
to tho old English built Vera Cruz and
and City of Mexico Line, and millions
of capital have been invested in various
industrial enterprises. Mexico, In Hot,
has awakened to useful activity, and
tho era of daily revolution seems to be
past. The last notable railway project
uuuur (xjuHirucuon is a line irum Uio
Mexican Pacific, which is projected
from Tonola, on the Pacific, to Front
era, on the Qmf of Mexico, into Gaati
mala, and southward to the Nicaragua
Canal. This road will form a long
link in tho rail connection to bo be
tween the North and South American
continents, so that it will be possible
to go in the same car ere long from St.
Paul to Valparaiso, Chili, or Uio
Janeiro, Brazil. Mexioo itself, rapidly
developing, oucht to bo sunnlied en
tirely by the United Stales with the
goods needed. There is convenient
railway and steamboat communication
now. Ihe country is exceedingly rich
in natural wealth, which tho Spanish
appropriation of several centuries
merely scratched. Yet trade is re
stricted. The opportunity of securing
reciprocal trade relations was lost by
tho refusal of the Senate to ratify the
treaty, uecently the Mexican uov-
eminent levied a heavy tax on Ameri
can cattle in retaliation for the action
of our government against the impor
tation ot Mexican ores. Tariff wars
are very injurious wars.. They pro
voke animosity. -They kill the Reese
which lay the golden eggs. There is a
puerility about them which ill becomes
dignified and civilized nations. Tho
absurdity of tariff retaliation is seen
in the fact that the drouth in North
ern Mexico has played the mischief
with the cattle and the peoplo are com
pelled to have American cattle and
Say the high duty. The whole of
fexico is naturally tributary to this
country, commercially speaking. As
much so as the territory wo acquired
by tho annexation of Texas and the
war with Mexico. That was a vast
acquisition, embracing Texas, Now
Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada,
Utah and parts of Colorado and Indian
Territory, something over 800,000
square miles, which cost us only $15,
000,000, beside about 3,500,000 debts
due from the Mexican Government to
American citizens. This great pur
chase, an empire in itself, from the
time of its acquisition, has kept step
with the progress of tho Union, while
old Mexico, from whioh it was severed
is just awakening, under American in
ftaeoce, to an appreciation of tho possi
bilities awaiting her.
Tho county Commissioners of Lnzer
ne county have decided to pay over to
the court the 1,000 reward offered for
tho arrest of the murderers of McClnre
and Faunigan: Tho court will probab
ly divide the reward among the four
applicants.

The Prince 3f Wales Has Brieht'i Dijeaie.
Tho London correspondent of tho
Now York Timet has sent the follow,
ing despatch to bis paper. "At the
great gathering in Athens this comiog
fortnight there will bo at least one
family which will conceal doep sadness
under the conventional smiles. I am
assured on exceptional authority that
the I'rinco of Wales has been warned
by his physicians that he has Urighl's
disease incurably fattened upon him,
buu mai me extension ot his trip to
Egypt, which was not originally in
tended, was at tho same time recom
mended by theso advisets as a diversion
which might assist to keep his mind
from dangerous gloom.
"It is believed that tho Princess and
tho rest of tho royal lamily have been in
formed m to the state of the Prince.s
health. There teems to lie no ground
for immediate apprehensions, bat ray
informant says the chances are felt to
bo against his living through next year
The Queen has been thrown into grave
despondenoy by the tidings, and is
living a mote secluded lift than ever.
"For the moment, however, Victor
ia's bodily health is better than that
tor aomo years previous, and tbcro has
been no recent recurrence of those
strange fits cf obstinate passion which
periodically seized h-r after the Prince
Consort's death, and which two or
three years ago made her intimates
seriously despair of her reason. She
is devoting more time to slate affairs
and to routine work than customary,
and gives her evenings now almost
entirely to lit tuning to solemn music
"Her Majesty's mind is severely free
from illusion; about the intellectual
abilities of her grandson and her event
ual heir, Albert Vicor, and there is a
curious fctory afloat in semiCourt circles
that sho is opposed to his marrying at
ail, bat desires that the royal line be
carried forward through his brother
George. What value this rumor has
I know not, but it is certain that the
entire royal family is deeply disturbed
over the whole question of tho success
ion. Both of tho Prince's sons are to
be raised to the peerage as dukes,
ptobably as York and Kent, daring the
Winter, and in the comments which
will then be passed there will doubtless
appear the first general recognition of
the fact that the"Prince of Wales him
self expects never to sit on tho English
throne.
A Hew West Branch Eoate-
The Pennsylvania Railroad engin
eers are still at work surveying a route
between Williams port and Mont
uomery along the line of the Wtst
Branch Canal. It is intimated that
this portion of the canal will be aband
oned, it hav ing been left in a dilapi
dated condit ion by the great flood of
June 1.
No movements towards putting the
waterway in repair has yet been made,
and tho impression is, that the Penn
sylvania Company will construct on its
site a branch railway leading to Will
iamsport. This will give them a con
tinuous line on the left bank of the
river, thereby avoidijg the necessity
of crossing tno river twicn in a dist
ance of sixteen miles. This would be
a great advantago and in ca;e of a
flood like the recent one, the loss of the
bridge would not interrupt communi
cation.
Tho surveyors bavo gone over the
ground carefully, but the railroad offi
cials are reticent. It is understood,
however, on the best authority that
intention is as slated above and that
tbo branch line will be constructed at
an early day. I

rOR THE APPEAilAKCE Of TltK CENSUS
TAKER, NEXT YEAR
Evorybody knows that next year tho
Government census will bo taken.
The value of such a work depends on
its thoroughness. Unreliable statistics
are in one tenso worse than nono at all
for they are misleading. These facta
appeal especially to farmers. Now is
the time to prepare for the coming of
tho census taker. Every man who
cultivates an acre of wheat or corn or
seta out a tobacco plant ought to keep
an accurate account of tho results of
his labor. Everything pertaining to
the farm should bo scrupulously written
down whether it pertains to crop, atook
wages or prices. That will simplify
matters when the census-laker comes
along and insure accuracy besides.
We believe there are some who have
an idea there is a disagreeable relation
ship between the census man and the
assessor, but this is a mistake. It is
especially desirous that we eh uld havo
an accurate enumeration of all our
crops in this country; not a mere guess
but the bottom lacts themtelvts. This
can only be had if every individual
farmer gn to work on his own hook
and carefully put down all the facts
so far as they relate to himself and his
own farm. Sooner or later he will have
to make answers to cettain questions.
Why not prepare himself in advance.
and thus save the anoyance that will
inevitably result from imperfect know
ledge later on! It is only a simple
tiling, and every man can attend to it.
Let every farmer, therefore, aopply
himself with a sheet of paper or a
memorandum book, on which he can
jot down tho required information.
The famous Brooklyn Tabernaol e
It-v. T. Dewitt Talraarre's cburcb, was
distroyed by 6re on Sunday morning.
The flames were discovered at 2,30 o,
clock by a policeman. Several adjoin
ing houses were also burned. This
church was bnilt in 1873, and cost
$175,000. The organ which was ono
of the largest and best in the world,
cost $35,000. This is the second time
the church has been burned. There
was an insurance of $129,450. Dr.
Talraase intended soon to make a visit
to the Holy Lmd but has postponed
his trip.
President Eliot of Harvard College
has nlready exprcucd his intention to
become a democrat.
