WHAT THE PAPERS SAY.

San Angelo Enterprise: "The
advocates of protection are happy
and congratulate themselves upon
the general interest taken in their
demonstration last Saturday, when
Judge George H. Noonan, intro
duced to the large audience, in well
chosen words by Mr.. ]. S. Mills
paugh, addressed the seven or eight
hundred voters present in man.
ner that bespoke sincerity of opin-
ion and honesty of purpose, stating
that personally interested in
western Texas, the interests of
this congressional district were
his interests and that in his belief
nothing but protection to the vi
tai industries of western Texas
could possibly bring back to this
section its former prosperity and
that If elected, he would bend all
his energy, devote all his ii me
and labors toward re-establish ing
here the happiness Of yore. No
campaign yarns, no abuse OF other
political parties, simply honest,
personal convictions expressed
with feeling and in perfect gentle
manly style, often apparently adj
dressing the ladies who in large
numbers graced the meeting with
their presence. He was followed by
Mr.. G. w. Ogden, a San Antonio
attorney, who in more fOrcible
terms, yet never abusive, eXpound-
ed the practical necessity of pro-
tecting the Industries of western
Texas against the discrimination
of the present tariff bill and stated
that native western Texan
himself, he had the interest of
west Texas at heart and was in no
way interested personally in poll
tics and never expected to be, that
he only wished to see west Texas
resume its former prosperous con-
ditlon and sincerely believed that
for the present at least, protection
was the only means to bring back
the good old times. He earnestly
called upon the patriotism of all
Democrats who had the welfare OF
this section at heart, not to aban-
don the Democratic party, but for
this once only send to Congress a
protection representative as
warning to their party that dis
scrimination could not be tolerated
Wool, horses and west Texas es-
pecially, were essentially his topic
and though his arguments were
not overly strong, the warmth and
force of his delivery carried con
viction."
Two Republics: The foreigners
in the City of Mexico are be
ginning to learn something
about the jury laws Of the
federal district which they die
OF know few years ago. The Law
names as eligible to jury servic'
all men who have lived in thu
republic three years or more, whC
have a salary or other source o
income amounting to at least SlO'
per month, who are neither blinC
nor deaf, nor member of one O.
the exempt professions, doc
} tor, lawyer, clergyman nor
public employee, etc., etc. Las
year it seemed to have oc
cured to the officers who prepar
the lists of juries that there wa
nothing in the law that prevent
the foreign residents from SERVING
as jurors, and in consequence, tn
proportion of foreigners on tn
3 iuries has been very great. TIL
3 ttudges seem to be we'll please
with the innovation, but whethe
the best interests of justice ar
Q served by securing for jurymer
