WHEN KINGS GO DOWN. Charleston Evening Pout. King Manuel of Portugal, according to reports, is pointing for England, to take refuge from the wrath of his subjects. It n a very good course for him t > take, and he may settle down to a comfortable and reasonably happy life and get some enjoyment out of the world in the fullness of the years that should be before him. If he has any philosophy in his constitution, he will probably take a complacent view of the situation and accept the conditions that have befallen him. but if he does he will run counter to the usual nractice of deposed monarchs. It is hard to see just why the young Manuel should want to have the throne he has lost. He came to it less than three years ago, a mere slip of a lad, over the bloody corpses of his father and his brother, both shot down in the same moment, by violent radicals. He has shown no capacity for government, and seems to have had no taste for the business. He has not won the love or the confidence or the respect of his people. His father was popular enough, for his bonhomie, although not much of a king as kings rhould be, but even his personal favor did not save him from assassination. The expectations of Manuel to the throne were rather remote during the years of his boyhood, and he came to it in suddenness and violence, without much preparation for his task, and, as it has been shown, with little capacity for the work a king has to do. His short reign has been marked with disturbance and dissatisfaction. Plots have been woven around him, and he lived in constant hazard. That should not necessarily drive a king out of business, to be sure, rather should he address himself to the righting of things, in a real effort to improve the condition of his people, and the greater the difficulties to be surmounted and the larger the risks to himself the more strenuous should be his endeavor to right the situation. He should not llinch from the task before him. But, when he makes no headway, but actually loses ground, and his people determine that they do not want him and that thev can tret- nInner hoffoi without him, the best thing for him to do is to yield with the best dignity he can muster and give the people the chance they want to improve things for themselves. Of course, he owes much to the institution he represents and the interests that are involved in it, and he should not abandon these without a fair defense, and, perhaps, a stout show of force, but when all is lost, when he has played the part of a man and has been fairly overthrown, he will make no mistake to accept the situation and be done with it. When he quits lie ought to quit. If he is called back that is another matter, but to sit in a comfortable asylum across the border and hatch plots forgetting back his job, or otherwise to meddle ami mess with the affairs of the nation from which he has been expelled is not a fair way of dealing. "BARBAROUS MEXICO." E. Alexander Powell contributes an article entitled "The Betrayal of a Nation" to the October American Magazine supplementing with further evidence the series "Barbarous Mexico," which is being published in that periodical. Summing up his remarkable article Mr. Powell says: "From the hints I have given in this article you may easily conceive the appalling conditions which obtain in Mexico today; the murdered thousands, the outraged women, the stolen Farmsteads, the starving, homeless peasantry, the men and women and little children imprisoned in loathsome jails; all the indescribable hopelessness and misery and suffering of a nation. To offset this the subsidized writers prate of the lawlessness which has been changed to law, of .policemen made from bandits; of T^.hvays and street car- systems and asphalted streets and an $8,000,000 opera house. Of the two sides of the medal ? the one held up to the gaze of the calcium, the other kept carefully concealed in the shadow?you can take your choice. Let it be plain. I am no detractor of Mexico, but I am an accuser of those who have betrayed her and of those others (Americans, I regret to say, amonpr them) who, from wholly selfish motives, seek to uphold, palliate, or excuse their wronsr-aoinjr. I cannot help but feel that, as surely as there is a hereafter, then iust sosurelv will the cruel jefe politicos and the rapacious governors, the corrupt judges, and the degraded politicians, and, above all, that sinister old man who has permitted such things to be, have a terrible indictment to answer to at God's great judgment seat."
