A MEXICAN FORECAST.
Unless V illa shall be speedily killed or captured, Carran
za’s army will melt away and Mexico will be nearer united than
it has-been since the rebellion was first sprung against Diaz.
And tRe^’i^ will be one of hate and defiance against the United
States. To bring this around was what doubtless prompted
Villa to make his raid on Columbus, New Mexico. Doubtless
the military on the border have understood this from the first.
The chief danger of this will be to American residents in
Mexico.
Then will follow a swift blockade of the Mexican ports,
and probably the pushing of an army from Vera Cruz or the
tlulf terminal of the Tehauntepec railroad, a second from the
Rio (Jrande and a third from some point in Arizona. On the
part of the Mexicans it will be chiefly a guerilla warfare; there
will be no really great battle. There will be a great clamor at
first and portentious threats of what is to be. The business of
our navy will be to prevent supplies from getting inland'; of our
different armies to take the capital and chief strategic points
in the country, and then to order the civil [lowers there to
order an election and to see that it is a fair on<—to do what was
done in Cuba.
It will be a vexatious, expensive and uncomfortable busi
ness; it would really be a mercy to that country to permanently
take and hold the northern row of sparsely settled states, even
as California, Arizona and New Mexico were held in the war
of 1840-1847.

The Seattle politicians who will at tend'd ho Republican ter
ritorial convention at Seward on April 1!* are hooked to leave
Puget Sound next Monday. They will be joined at Juneau In
L. P. Shackleford and his lieutenants, and thus reinforced, ex
pect to capture the convention. Of course the resident Alas
kans are not being taken into consideration, but unless we miss
out guess they will be the ones who will have most to say at
that convention.
-:o:
The government in Washington having decided to save
waste paper and rags, w hich all good business concerns long
have been doing, let us commend to the managers down there
that they sell 80 per cent of government reports at their source
instead of shipping them over the country to be junked at a
profit to those1 who receive them.
-:o
A cold' winter and considerable snow. Add a somewhat
backward spring. The result will be a great season for fine
v fjowers. The roses should be the best in years. It is not too
late to plant them and other shrubs. But do not wait until
Arbor day.
.. .*n •
While the Cordova municipal election passed off quietly,
with but one ticket in the field', bitter fights were made at the
polls Tuesday at both Valdez and Seward, and in both instances
the conservative business element won an easy victory.
-;o:
The German steam roller has crushed' out opposition in
about the same way that American opposition was crushed out
by the administration recently. Now if the two steam rollers
should collide!
-——:o:
l scieezke has been immortalized by the heroism of Aus
trian troops, who broke through lines of enveloping Russians.
History teachers of the future will have to lubricate their jaws.j
-:o;
Report that Belgium will be invited to join in peace nego
tiations means that flickering spark of hope that sometime,
somehow peace will come.
-;o;
The a Hit's are going to let Belgium in at the spoliation ban -
quet. One can imagine that this ill-fated little realm will dine
heartily and ask for more.
*-:0:-. .
If Captain Raold Amundsen reaches the north pole in his
11)17 expedition he will be in the pathetic position of having
no more poles to conquer.
•-:o:
The New York Times has laid the final indictment upon old
Von Tirpitz. It calls him the “architect of outrage, priest of
horrors.”
-:o:
Germans’ confidence that Verdun "ill fall is equalled by
French confidence that this bulwark of the nation’s defence
will hold'.
--:0:
Senator Sherman foresees for the present unpleasantness
in Mexico all that General Sherman said of armed conflict.
-:o:
The evils of a dry state arc observable in Georgia, Kansas,
Tennessee, Texas and esleswhere.
If Congress sings all summer, as now seer i certain, some
body will have to pay the fiddler.
-:o:
The spring break-up is undoubtedly here to remain. At
least we hope so.
