then three brothers of them, all gun

to avoid them. After the decadence of

always made the men fight, too. There

CITY TAX SUITS.

The tax middle in which the city
seems to be apparently stuck, presents
some remarkable situations. For in
stance, one of the city aldermen was
attorney for an eX-aldermau in the
now famous suit in which the tax law
was attacked and held void. The city
attorney at the following meeting OF
the city council reported his Waterloo
and thereupon the council appointed
the same aidermanic lawyer to be the
head of special committee to report
upon the next step to be taken. The
committee decided that there is d
nee assity OF appointing additional legal
talent to aid the city attorney, there
by admitting a lack of confidence in its
official adviser.
And again, in the suit above referred
to, city alderman makes oath that
the city artesian bonds and the city
water works bond are void, and that
the city tax rolls for the years 1892,
1893 and 1894 were never approved by
the board of equalization.
1t is apparent that the white winged
dove of peace does not roost at the city
hall. Poor FL Paso! She seems to
have no defenders even among her
sworn officers. She is fit prey for
treason, strategem and spoils. She is
smitten in the back in the house of
her friends.

A CHARTER AMENDMENT.

The city's revenue from taxes is
threatened from another source. In
an obscure column of the Tribune
among patent medicine advertisements,
is hidden away a notice that at the
coming session of the legislature,
Washington B. Merchant intends to
apply for an amendment of section tw o
of the charter to reduce the limits and
boundaries of the city, and to fix its
territorial jurisdiction. There is ap-
parently a negro in someone's wood
pile, if the claudestine manner of giving
notice is any criterion. 1t looks like it
was the purpose of the movers of this
scheme to cut off the Cotton and Bas-
sett additions from the city tax roll.
1t would be just as welt to discuss a
matter OF such seeming Importance in
the public prints, and let the public
know what is going on.

1t was an American clergyman who

when man appeared on the earth the

nowadays in mid Africa, and so our first

northern climate became colder, man

CORRUPTION FUNDS.

The corrupt use of money in
elections is an evil which threatens the
life OF the republic. What the law
breaker can not stand is an investiga-
ton. 1t has been charged in the last
campaign, that the republican national
committee had large fund which was
improperly disbursed. The HERALD
courts an investigation of its party
methods, believing it will increase the
respect with which it is held in the
eyes of the people. The books were
turned over for inspection to the demo-
Gratis at the time of Cleveland's first
administration, the money was counted
bythem, and not penny was missing.
Senator Allen, populist, of Nebraska,
has resolution for committee of nine
senators on the Use of money in
elections" The resolution directs the
committee to thoroughly investigate
the extent to which money was used in
connection with the recent presidential
election, either in promoting nomina-
tions or influencing the choice Of
presidential electors, and to inquire
whether any such expenditures were
excessive, illegitimate, corrupt or
unlawful, especially to inquire and
ascertain what extent for such purposes
