Hoorganization of the Dinz Cubinct, the grunting of the most- nooded reforms, the appointaiout by the Mexican Government of official penco negotiators to deal directly with Francisco 1. Madero, Jr., all these things are taken by many to point to a spoody restora tion of peace south of the Rig Grande, despite the rotort of Madero himself, encamped with 1,200 men on the hills overlooking Chihuahua, that there is no pouce while Diaz rules.

Even more significant of the dawn of a new day in Mexico is the message road by the aged. President at the opening of the present session of Congress. It is the most notable State paper he over wrote, because it is the first and only surrender this grim old warrior over mudo."

If this remarkable message from Porfiris Diaz fails to satisfy hie countrymen thon nothing short of a complete change of Government will satisfy them. Thus thinks the "Evening Post." The "Republican" says."

"In view of the advanced age of President Diaz, for he is in lis eighty-first year, they should now be, content for a while with the reforms which he has promised in his recent message. At his death, or retiroment at the end of his present torus, it would undoubted- ly be possible to reconsider the question of reforms in govern mont, inasmuch as a new admini- stration would wish to begin its work with no powerful section of the people dangerously disaffect ed; and even before then, in case ponce were soon restored, other additional measures to satisly opposition grievances might be obtained from President Diaz bimself.
