Despite the warning, Mexico is moro dishevelled than ever. The President’s first step is the exceedingly tactful one of invit- ing the A. 5. OC. Ambaseadore to confer with him on a possible course of action that may pacify the country. This will forestall all fresh clamor that the United States has designs on Mexico. Besides, Brasil, Chili and the Argentine have had considerable first hand expertence in handling populations that include large percentages of peons, Indians and the like. Advice from representatives of these countries ought to prove useful in any effort to restore reaponsible | edif-government across the Rio Grande.

GOVERNMENT has obligingly furnished the indicted New Haven directors with a bill of particulars setting forth the epecifio-methods used to gobble up the transportation facilities of New England. The bill charges, emong other things, that New Haven financiers fixed up o deal with Standard Oil powers to deprive the Joy Steam- ship Line of certain of its charters.

COURAGEOUS WARDEN. HATEVER accusations are made against Warden Osborne W of Sing Sing, it will be hard to convince the public that fs any question of his earnestness and enthusiaem wetfare of the men under his care. That enthusiasm hes for experiments on MMs part that have seemed fantastic and extreme. His Wetter to the Governor is an open, honest declaration of his viewe of Sing Sing—under the management of others and under his own. In the course of that letter Mr. Osborne says: “The prisoners in Sing Sing today are healthier, more contented, doing more and better labor in the workshops, under Detter discipline, than ever before.” We believe thie is true. It constitutes an argument strong énougl to outweigh al) minor criticisms of Mr. Osborne’s management. Mr. Osborne may or may not be over-hasty in proclaiming that the polfticians are on his track. One thing is eure: Bickerings over authority ought not to be allowed to upset a State department and deprive Sing Sing of the most humane, courageous Warden it ever had.
