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."
