An interesting resolution has been adopt
ed BY the Democratic Executive Committee Of
Tom Green county. Texas. This resolution
debars all persons who cannot speak tho
English language intelligibly." from particle
pating in tho county primaries. It ap.
pears that such persons have been very
hothersome In the primaries OF that county. as
they have been in other counties OF Texas and
OF some other States They do not properly
understand the speeches or the proceedings.
nor can they make themselves understood
when they speak in their brok o. En- glfsh: and
there arc cases on record 10 which the conss-
Quence OF this has been Confusion worse
confounded."
The Democratic committee OF Tom Green
county has declared that tho voters who would
exercise political power In primaries or Con-
ventions. In municipal councils. or In Leglsla-
lures. ought to be nble to speak the English
language intelliRibly. and to understand it
when spoken .intsllisibly. This rule should
certainly be modified In tho case Of New Mex
leo. tho grost majority OF whose citizens speak
Spanish only.

An unusually large number OF cabin passsn-
gers have left this port for Europe thus far
this year. and the reports given by the various
steamship companies Of tho booking for tho
next three months make It very certain that
the number OF passengers to Europe In tho
year will be Ereater than the number In any
previous yenr. Marty all the steamers leaving
hero for European ports have already their
full complement OF passengers booked for
every voyage up to August next. We believe
that every available berth in tho cabins OF the
eight big steamships that sailed from our
docks yesterday for British. German. and
French ports had its occupant. and at least
nine-tenths OF all tho passengers were Ameri-
con tourists. some Of whom were bent on bust

At least three Of thu companies arc build
