The Lesson OF Her Election the Same "a
that in Maine.


Previous TO the VERMONT and Maine
elections the free silver forces predicted
reduction of the Republican MAORI
ties below those of former years and
some of the more Sanguine of them eX-
pected fusion majority in the latter
state. 1t was generally said that if the
Republican plurality went above 20
900 in Vermont or above 5000 in
Maine il Wound furnish a pretty strong
indication Of Republican success in the
country az large in November. The
Republican plurality actually exceeded
10000 in Vermont and approached 90
600 in Maine. being in both cases the
largest ever obtained since the organ
iza'ion of the party.
Then the silver men said that they
had expected nothing from New En-
gland. which was tied TO the gold
standard. but that the south and west
would offset that by tremendous Dem
ocratic and fusion majorities. The
election in Arkansas was pointed 10 aN
demonstration Of this. But the full
returns from the September election in
that state are now in and they show
the following comparative results

WHY NOT AT Ell PASO?

The pertinent suggestion has been
made in this city, why not have the
irrigation congress of next year IN Ri
Paso? Phoenix has it this year, Al
buquerque had it the year before, and
now it should be FL Paso's turn to have
the irrigation congress in 1897.
One great reason also why the next
irrigation congress should hold its 1897
sessions in Ell Paso is the fact that this
is shortly to become one OF the greatest
irrigation centers in the entire west.
Ell Paso is to have the great interna-
tional dam with a storage lake 10 miles
long by from 3 to miles broad, and a
depth averaging from % to 30 feet,
except in the immediate vicinity of the
dam where the water will be quite
deep. There will not be another ir-
rigatiou reservoir in the country with
such q storage capacity, and the land
to be irrigated extends from this city
on both sides of the river clear to
Fort Quitman. Moreover, the Selden
dam being built by the English compa-
ny will irrigate territory southwark to
reservoir, and is therefore properly
within the territory tributary to Ell
Paso. This gives additional Importance
to FL Paso a. an irrigation center, and
altogether the town is becoming noted
among those Interested in irrigation
enterprises.
BY another year, the White Oaks
road, or an extension of some trunk
line through the White Oaks country,
will be started from this city, the
Corralitos road will have been built,
the Rock Island will be running into
FL Paso, and the town on g steady
march forward Then there ought to
be quite good attendance of Mexican
land owners from the south side of the
river, which will make the sessions
more interesting than ever. BY per-
sistent work on the part of the Texas
and southern New Mexico delegates
the irrigation congress for next year
can be brought to FL Paso. ]

pies of republIcanism are taking root
in the kindly soil of this great state Is
as certain as that progress Is the oruer
of the human mind, but that republican
candidates are going to receive more
votes on thai account is not so certain,
for the republican sentiment has no
wisdom of organization to aid it to
expression. What the state needs Is
home organization, less pie hunting
on the part of those who style them
selves republicans and a putting OF
party needs before personal prefer

CONSTIPATION can be curedo asily and

Constipation can be cured9 asily and
certainly by the use of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets. They are perfectly
imple-perfectly safe. They are not
at all violent in their action, and yet
they are more certain than many medi-
cnes which are so strong that they put
the system all out of order. The great
advantage of the "Pleasant Pellets" is
that they cure permanently. You
don't have to keep on taking them.
You don't acquire pellet habit" as
in using other pills. Take them reg
ularly for a while, and you are cured
permanently. After that, take them
only when you find yourself suffering
from indigestion. There are many
medicines offered for the same purpose
on which druggists make bigger
profit For this reason, some druggists
would rather sell the other things. If
your own health is of more Importance
to you than the druggists prosperity,
you will insist on having what you ask
for.

1t is only within recent years that
wheaton bread has become staple an
ticle of food among the labOrin@ classes
of England-in fact. some parts of the
country still maintain the use of oats
and barley in various forms in prefer
ence to wheat. In 1917 there was a
great wheat harvest in England and the
price suddenly dropped from so shil-
lings to shillings pence a quarter.
In proof, the following from Eden
History of the Foor," published 100
years ago, may be quoted: so small
was the quantity of wheat used in the
county of Cumberland (Eng;anD that
it was only a rich family that used a
peck of wheat in the course of the year,
and that was used at Christmas.'

The talk of a currency commission
at Washington, which was heard a
good deal last year is being renewed.
1t may be remembered that at the
last session of congress, Representa-
tive HeatwOle, of Minnesota, intro
duced resolution providing for a non
partisan currency commission. BY its
terms tue president was to appoin t
nine citizens, eminent in trade, political
economy and banking to act with the
con ptroller of the currency as a
commission of experts to offer recon-
mendations for needed changes in the
present inadequate banking and
currency system of the United States
and to report its recommendations to
congress. This resolution, it is now
said, ms be pressed during the com
ing session of congress, and especially,
in view of the fact that conside BILE
discussion has been engendered as to
currency legislation in the next con-
gress. It i known that the banking
aud currency committee of the house,
to whom the Heatwole RESOLUTION was
referred. was not favorably impressed
with it, because the committee believed
itself com petent to evolve a satisfactory
currency scheme As nothing was
accomplished in the last session, it is
now possible that q currency commits

The New York Sun S investigation OF
the late electoral result in Tennessee
makes it clear that Mckinley and the
republican nominee for governor were
beaten by intimidation and fraud. In
the jugglery OF the count II, 900 repub-
lican votes were reduced to 1000. In
every large place hundreds of McKin-
ley men were kept waiting until the
polls closed, and violence was used
toward watchers and clerks. Had the
result of the election hinged on Ten
uessee the turmoil OF the present time
might have paralyzed all business and
brought back the dangers and vicissi-
tudes OF 1876, when Tilden tried to
capture the presidency by buying up
returning boards. That the country
escaped such a calamity is no fault of
the Tennessee fusiOnists, who gave a
more extreme illustration than the
white leagues of Mississippi ever did
of the mockery of fair play and honest
balloting which has made politics no.

JOHN w. FOSTER, eX-secretary OF
state has return from Hawatia
where be went TO secure concession

are anxious for the island 10 be annexed

approving Of t.. He says that the con-
dition of business in Hawaiia is flourish
ing. The islands are prosperous, and
their future is bright. The Pacific
Mail has recently doubled its service,
sending steamer twice month in
stead of once. as formerly, and new
line is soon expected to be esta blishe
by the Japanese, which will touch at
the islands on the way 10 San Francis
co. The present government has the
approval of majority OF the native
Hawaiians, and there IS no likelihood
that there ever will be a restoration OF
the monarchy. The English and
German element, however, are oppos-
ed to annexation to the United States,
because they believe it will Interfere
with their contract labor, and so affect
their interests commercially. The
present government in its admtnistra-
tiOn, is giving satisfaction, yet this
government is only temporary. The
members of the government are
pledged to annexation, and the present
constitution of the republic expresses
this expectation. So it is the general
belief that the matter should be decided
at an early date. ( DOSSi BILE.
