Novel Financial Scheme

The commercial relations between this city
and Paso del Norte, just across the river,
threaten to be seriously disturbed. A Mexi-
can dollar is valued at S. cents in American
com. Our neighbors, not liking the depreci-
alton Of their national coin, resolved to de-
preciate ours. Their board Of trade solemnly
decided that American silver dollars should
be DEPRECATED 80; or pass current for IS cents
in Mexican silver. The Mexican board Of
trade saw the folly of their financial scheme
when it was put to the test by one Of the con-
ductors on the street car line that connects the
rival cities. One morning he started from the
American side with Mexican silver dollar
On arriving at the other side he took a drink
of their native chanilightning whisky, price
IS cents. He was given an American dollar
in change. He took drink of equally bad
whisky on the American side, price IS cents,
and was given a Mexican dollar in change.
He repeated this at regular intervals during
the day, and at night had the same Mexican
dollar he started out with. It is very likely
the board oitrade will revise its queer system
of finance. Mexican paper money is at 2s
per cent discount.-New York Tribune.

Justice Miller of the United States Supreme

dorsement of the Department of Justice.
Judge Sabin is here to present his claims.
The only argument used against him is that
he is too old. He is 50. A letter has been
received from Judge Burkhardt, which says
that while he is candidate, he does
not think it COMFORTS with the dignity
oil such a high judicial Office to
come to the nations capital and
personally solicit it. The latest arrival is
Judge c. c. Binkley, of the Republican State
Central committee. He intends seeing the

The Chicago Times facetiously observes:

The Chicago Times facetiously observes:
1t is rumored that the poet Tennyson heart
lily dislikes the task imposed upon himb the
Queen of eulogizing in undying verse the late
overamented Brown. II any Of the female
members of the royal family were going to
have baby, he could reel off something that
would satisfactorily commemorate the event
with comparative ease. If British General
with 10000 men would thrash a handful of
Egyptian ragamulfins, he could sing the vic
tory in burning verse without straining his
poetry machine. Any royal event that has ever
prompted the pen Of poet laureate he could
handle as readily as any of his predecessors,
from Chaucer. But to do up Brown in poetry
the prosaic, stupid consequential, prepos-
ferrous Brown-is little too much. He might,
however, start off something like this:
AT a little grave that's green
Weeps our dear-beloved Queen
Over Brown.
For his deaths dreadful loss
To the estimable boss
OF the crown.
Perhaps Mr.. Tennyson might not be able to
keep up his pace, which is little rapid for
his declining powers, but this is kindly offered
as a starter, and doesn't cost him anything.

THE St. Louis Globe Democrat says: "a
crank to whom the Labor committee naturally
gave audience in New York a day or two ago
recommended public membership in rail-
roads and telegraphs; freedom of patents,
meaning thereby, probably, that no patents
should be granted laws which will prevent
the ownership Of great tracts of land by pr
vate individuals and public ownership Of
coal, iron, gold and other mines, and oil
wells Advice Of this kind has been given
by professional foreigners before this. And
yet they do not seem to realize that in order
to live under paternalism in a highly deyel-
oPed form they had only to stay at home.
The absorption of the public land by private
owners is one of the chief grievances Of the
agitatcrs. They seem to think none is left
for them. But the truth is, there is, and will
be for good many years, an abundance of
fertile land to be had for the asking. The
trouble with these chronic fault finders with
American institutions is this: They prefer
living by their wits as professional agitators in
New York to living by the sweat of their
faces as farmers at the West"

totally destroyed. 10 the city there we're 10
persons killed and about 100 wounded, some
Of them fatally. The ruined houses were
nearly all occupied by laborers and mechan-

THAT old sport on the FL Paso Times who

much about the proposed smuggling match be-
