but if the country is to be afflicted by a revolution every few years, there is little or no probability that either the principal or interest will be paid.With peace and good government the resources of the country could be developed so as to afford the Government means of re-establishing its foreign credit, but tbe National Treasury is just now in no condition to assume any obligations, additional to the current expenses of tbe Government.It has recently been compelled to suspend temporarily the payment of the salaries of the Executive and Judicial officials.It owes the United States over $3,000,000 under the late claims convention, and to the Mexican Railway Go., $2,000,000.These two debts are likely to receive attention first, and in the present and prospective state of the public affairs, and of the treasury, it is a serious question whether it will be thought necessary to continue its default on payment of the last named.The prospect, therefore, for an earlier resumption of the payment of interest on the foreign debt does not appear very flattering.UIMITEI» STXXES.TEE DIAZ GOVERNMENT.NINE MURDERS.A PETITION TO THE POPE, FIVE THOUSAND DOLLAS REWARD.EDITORS ARRESTED.INDIAN NEGO HATIONS.NO COAL COMBINATION, i lUVLIItLVX.GOVERNMENT INSPECTORS.Halifax, Dec.28.\u2014Messrs.Odell, r t11^ ¦^¦0^mes have been appointed ï the Local Government to inspect ohe tnn -u111 \u2022 do, Reading matter in'cîtÿ\u2019item!\tao\u2018 ao\u2018 \u201e C\u2019oitnsm.,.,,.\t20 cents per lice 1 centsgper Une.,, .wiÜ ^Sf«\u2019 «Per insert» , J'HS IQST&SAL HERALD çosçkek tax Gazbw, Printed ano b?®6 MONTREAL HERALD PUBLISHING COM FAN'S' conffî™'carion3 to be addressed to JAMB hi a»Æï> Managing Director, No.lot ?n w st, James Street,Montreal, THE LARGEST AND MOST YAEIEI> ASSORTMENT OF WOODEN ANh METAL TYPE FOR THE PRODUCTION OF -POH® IN THE 'rfUSI0]?-T PROGRAMMES, BALL, VISITINC AND BUSINESS CARDS ieilALSIOFVJF-AiBÆk 4&C.&Ç.1T>7 and.I®0 ST.JAMES STREET ^288 6320 "]
