MEXICO'S "FOURTH."
It Was On September 16 that She
Was Freed.

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

wealth was told to the Spaniards and
in 1 > 10 all Mexico was governed bv
Spanish viceroys?not for the purpose
of leaching these people selfgovernment
and bettering their political
and cenooinic conditions. 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.
