It is astonishing what pulling pnuor a locomotive has. In sixteen eais 1t has hauled Mexico, plunged in creu'c ptovlneiallsnt, Its dream interrupted bv occasional cannon shot, up to the higher plane of wide international ai -tlvltles. Mexico, the piehlstotlc Mexi co that Pot 111 lu Tilaz found, has sune foievcr. Old men and some clerkul newspapers mumble their protest arrd lament the past, which was uletut esque but Incredibly backward. On the vvholi', the- change is hotter toi Mexico, which is now part of the gieat laml'y of nations. Mexico now has a national ciedlt and an addition to Its legitimate stock ot self-respect. This statesman, Pot ilrlo Diaz, Is something of a compound locorutlvc! himself. Wo have seen hlni tugging at the inettia of a Mexico wedded to the past, living to pull It ovei a steep up-giade. That was back In ISSj, when the ciedlt of the nation was nil. when the treasury was empty and employes were lucky If they got their pay ut postponed dates. We heard men standing Idly In their counting looms ptedlctlng that the big Diaz locomotive would blow up, plunge down an embankment of i evolution, te. Mighty few were the capitalists here who then. In dark days, stood by the Piesldcnt of Mexico. He knows that; be can count over the roll of the pessi mists, of the hidden cutics, of the pro phets of despair. Hut he kept on pull ing for all he was vvoith. and that was much, as we can attest. He worked dlxteen, eighteen, twenty-tour houis a day; his courage nevei failed him, and lucky it was for Mexico that he had a constitution haidencd In many cam paigns, a man of lion and lite, Poiflrlo Diaz believed in steam an I lion, his cieed was a locomotive, ho was ready to give chatters for tall ways, he welcomed with glad hand the men ot positive force. He surrounded himself with blg-bralncd, he.uty, ics- olute men. And they nil pulled to gether. So this statesman of locomo tives, this keen-eyed, undaunted be liever In what they could do for Mex' co is vindicated. He Bees Mexico pros perous and progiesshe; nun every where believe In him; he Is going to bo ptesldent four years more, und ho looks over tho broad larrd, nnd, dis cerning every wheie factoty chimneys, and noting the ti ailing whlto banners of hundieds on hundteds of locomo tives, he feels sure that his work has been for his country's good. Some petty ciltlcs affect to depre ciate? the Mexican piesldent: they would ciltlce a Napoleon reconstruct ing Fiench Institutions, a Illsmaick making an empire out of petty duchies and pilnclpalltles. If we had known Poillilo Dltiz when the skies vvete all black, when he was In poverty, mak ing a nation, when malignity buzzed about him, and ho toiled like another Heicules, we might believe some of tho talk of the little critics. But hav ing icgnided tho work of the man who let locomotives loose over the face of would criticize a Napoleon leconstruct Mexlco, we huvo no patience left to listen to weaklings, who could not live here nnd make money If the piesldent had not transformed Mexico nnd made It a place for healthful activities, Reynolds.
