Americans who love to make both night and day gloriously hideous on our cherished day of liberty, our noisy .1' ourlh ol >1 uly, listen a moment on 't'he 101 h of nexl Se.plember while your sislcr Mexicans pour out their glad* ami noisy rejoicings in memory of I reedom from oppressions far worse I han yours?(he oppression of a Spanish master. I he Polices and Aztecs, before tho Spanish came, prospered in their lan 1, raising corn and cotton, building roads, temples and cities and decorating them wiilh the mineral wealth of the country. In l.T2f> the A/.tecs .founded lire ("ilv of Mexico.

No! No! .1'-rom this time on for three centuries Mexico was worked as a Spanish mine. The natives were slaves? foreign trade foiihiddcn them?yet the Indian spirit of freedom lurked nn this newly formed Spanish-Indian race and it was fanned by the wars of Napoleon. They rebelled in 1810 under tire leadership of Hidalgo, a eonntry priest, and became free. On September 10. 1810, af 11 o'clock in 1 he evening, Ihc declaration of independence was signed and the Orito, the cry of independence, rang out loud and clear: "Viva la Libertad! Viva la Kepublica! Viva Mexico!" September 10, 1010, will mark the one hundredth anniversary of Mexican freedom and the land will be in holiday attire. F,aoh year the Mexicans, where they are found in any numbers, make this a great festal day. and not Ibis day alone?the celebration may last two or three (fays. Ibis year the ltilh fell on a Monday, and the celebration in an Arizona mining town began on Sunday by permission ol t'he mayor. The town was a blaze of green, white and red, the Mexican colors. The band, each instrument I lined independently of the others, had practised faithfully for a week oi .more every evening and was wel ready for Sunday. The anvils boom cd, the band played?played all da; / and all thing's, punctuated by tin Mexican national air, a slow, mourn y- fnl, melancholy air. "America, M; 'Country," was recognized among th others. The programme took no ao 'knoiiinl of firecrackers. In fact firecracker was not heard. The Mex "leans delight in feasts of physicf strength and oratory. The Sunday programme include liorse-races, fifty yard dash for boj and one for .uirls, |?io race and potato race for J>oys, miners ami smeller's li race, greased polo, wheel barrow and three legged races; then the donkey race, to some spectators the feature of the day. Not used to starting at - the firing of the guns, nor indeed, at any signal save the spur and goad, s and not at all accustomed to the rate of speed expected of them on this oci> casion, the donkeys each started when r it seemed* good to him, stopped to 11 protest against the spur and lash, t trotted a little and walked a little, 8 and stopped while the crowd scream* ed and the rider beat the hard little Hanks wJth his strap. The gray donkey won the race and his rider won the stakes. The rider treated his 1 iriends at the saloon near the goal, i hut the donkey had not even a melon 8 rind. I he prizes for the races ranged all the way from $15 to $1.50. The ; celebration in the evening included - Stirling patriotac.speeches, both in - Spanish and Knglish, andM lie "rca;l? ing ol tIk? I)ccalration of ImlependCI once of M'exico " and sinking of the I national hymn. This hymn in I in- ori! giinal is ;i most beautiful production, ' which translation into Knglish mars somewhat : At the loud" cry of war all assemble, I hen your swords and your steed.! all prepare. And the earth to its centre shall tremble ' 'When the cannon's deep roar route the air. Oh, my country, entwine on thy temples iRonghs of olive so fresh and so vernal, When inscribed in the heavens eternal Blessed peace for the land thou dost see. Hut it stranger and foe in their bold-1 n ess Dare to tread* on thy soil they must | perish. Then my country, liiis thought only cherish, hvery son is but a soldier to thee. ! I On Monday came I'lie grand parade, i headed by two flags side by side?the green, white and re,| bars of Mexico and the stars and stripes. A motley crowd of swarthy Mexicans, Indian braves suuT red gowned barefooted ' squaws. with a generous sprinkling) ol palefaces, made way for the flags ol freedom. Then came the dusky I goddess of liberty and her maids in j 'her wagon of state drawn by foiii* proi.nl old horses, all decked elaborately in green, red and white. Behind this came the gaylv decorated float of ' the singers, maidens gowned in white with sashes of the national colors. Ibis was all of the parade proper. Hoys, barefooted, blue overall.>d and j slouch hatted, girls in green, red and white gowns and sushi-;*; men and women in their holiday best colors dosed in to follow to the grand stand for more music and speaking. Last, not a part of the celebration and unnoticed by all but a California!), came a procession of wood laden donkevs?slow, steady stepping, heads down, no holiday. The wood supply of the town is brought in on the backs ol these lough, slow, long eared little beasts, and they must keep busy. The procession" gone, traffic begins again, since the American stores arc all open. The grocery delivery boy leads his horse to Hie post before the store, fastens the burden baskets on either side of the saddle, fills them, mounts to his seat on tlie flanks of his horse and begins the afternoon delivery. The Mexican celebration goes on. The national hymn is sung, stanza by stanza, by t'he clear voiced Mexican beauties while the band .plays the accompaniment. It all ends at last, and again the night is peaceful except for the many poor wretches who have jollied too much and arc trying to fall up the hill to their one roomed homes. The Mexicans, old and young, assemble at the ball. The goddess of liberty leads the grand march. There are some waltzes, some twos tops and some stately Spanish minuets. Parents ami children, old and' young, all join in the dance. | Umbos are there, nursing at their I mothers' breasts during the interval-?. . All is happy, care forgotten, and toj morrow has no place here with the . green, white and red.?-San Francisco Chronicle. 0 It Does tho Business. Mr. I*'. K.
