WORDS AGAINST FACTS. RESIDENT TAFT, according to a statement given out “on authority,” expects “Mexico will appear in the news less, and manoeuvres will come to the front in connection with the movement of troope to the Texas-Mexican border.” = President Diaz has cabled to Paris: “The Gor- crmuent of the United States has been careful to explain itself con- cerning the concentration of troops on the frontier of Mexico. There is then, as the international press have already pointed out, no cause for disquictude.” | Those are good words; {t is a pity they eo bluntly conflict with the facts. The affairs of Mexico are looming larger, darker and more omi- nous than ever in connection with the manoeuvres. So acute has become the diequietude among the Mexican people that Diaz has found it necessary to proclaim “semi-martial law” throughout the country. At Washington the situation is deemed go critical the War Department has prepared to mobilize, if need be, 15,000 additional ‘troops on the border within five days. | If under such conditions there arise reports of hidden ambitions, and secret intrigues back of the diplomatic deceptions of language, the blame must rest upon President Taft and his advisers. It is « folly to go on talking about “manoeuvres” when the preparations are 60 clearly made for serious business of some kind, involving the possi- bilitios of war. ! to CLEANING THE MALT HOUSE. IT of the investigation of the Carnegie Trust Com- pany, it is already.virtually assured there will pro- ceed three indictments. Probably there will be more. The curious incident of the Governor's letter to the District-Attorney, so strangely sent and 60 _ x swiftly recalled, gives reason for believing there is still something hidden in the case; eomething that certain powerful men wish to keep hidden. | Whenever a board is lifted from an ill-guarded malt house, some rate are caught in the barley and some are seen scurrying for cover; but there are other fat old feeders that are not visible at all. To be sure of ridding the malt of future plundering, there is needed a lifting | of all the boards; an uncovering of all the rat neste, | That is what is required in this case. The capturing of three of the rats in the trust is good, but since the lid lifting has begun the search should be made complete. Every scurrying rodent should be i pursued; every nesting one dragged out. serene utes PERSONAL PROPERTY TAXES.

No. 3- OTHELLO AND DESDEMONA, in ‘‘ Othello,” | (~=—g—i ESDEMONA was tho only daughter of | Brabantio, a rich old Venetian Sena tor. She had had many suitors, but had refused them all. Brabantio brought home with him, one day, a Moorish soldier of fortune and traveller, Othello by name. Othello had led a wild, roving life, full of stirring adventure. Of late he had become the general of Venice's armies, . Brabantio was glad to honor so famous a man and often In- vited Otholio to his house, The Moor eagerly accepted the Invitations. Not for the sake of talking with old Brabantio, who probably bored him, but for the chance to meet Desdemona. He told her tales of his hatr- breadth escapes, and Desdemona listened eagertys This man was unilke the foo! Venetian youths who had come courting her.

Upon this hint I poke. She loved me for the dangers I had passed; and I loved her—that she did pity them.” Tt was hopeless to seck Brabantio'# conrent; ao (with the aid of Othello’s trusted ensign, Iago) tho lovers eloped. Brabantio raged in vain. The bridegroom was {00 valuable an officer for the Venetian atate to punisii him for eo natural an act. On the day after the wedding Othello wae ordered forth to repel an attack of | the Turks againet Venice. He sent his bride to the setand of Cyprus, of which he wea Governor, and left her there in change of Iago and the latter’e wife, Emfiia, Having routed the Turks, Othello hurried to Cyprus for his interrupted honey- moon. Then sounded the first note of tragedy in the romance. Tago hated Othello because the Moor had promoted another officer, Casste, over his head. And he resolved on vengeance. Knowing how stmple and impres- tonable was Othello's nature, Tego stealthily set to work changing the Moga truthful love into Jealous fury. Artfully he hinted to Othello that Destemona young Cassto loved each other, LAttle by little he worked upon the Moor's feel- ings, bringing forward bits of invented testimony ¢o strengthen his own crafty words. Othello, credulous as @ child, befeved the story all too readily. To him the false evidence seemed horribly convincing. The climax came when, through Iago's trickery, he found in Cassto's possession @ rare “magic” handkerchief he himeelf had given to Desdemona. Othello had adored Desdemona. The dolief that she was untrue tortured him. | His calm strength of mind deserted the Moor, and he became utterly possessed by the devil of jealousy. Desdemona watched with dismayed perplexity the gradual change in her once |doting husband, His strange questions, his searching looks, his ooktness, his | burste of almost insane rage against herself—all confueed the poor innocent bride, A Strange Courtship. are expected to present at Albany this week a pro-| gramme of reform whereby there will be a more! complete and therefore a more just collection of | taxes on personal property.
