Miles Mulroy is the only Popullst
officer in Ellis county. Naturally he
has q hard time holding his own
against the opposition. Charges were
filed against him recently in which 1t
was alleged that he, as County Attor-

trial last week and the jury acquitted
him on each and every charge without
leaving the box.

When it was known that the Colored
delegates were having considerable

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

1t is a reproach to the government OF
the United States, says the Chicago
Record, that it has not established
postal savings banks. 1t has the ma
chiuery at hand for putting the syste N
in operation. The benefits resulting
would be incalculab BILE. No objection
to the establishment of postal savings
banks that is worthy of serious consid.
Grafton can be brought forward.
Conservatives and radicals alike must
admit their desirability. II congress
really wishes to do something to ben
eft the great mass OF the people and to
allay popular discomfort particularly
throughout the west and south, let it
establish postal savings banks for the
accommodation of persons of small
means. The party just coming into
power could become responsible for NO
more popular measures.

FOur Thousand New Sailors.

1t is estimated that about 1000 men
will have to be added to the navy in
the next two years IN order to furnish
crews for the new vessels that will be
ready for service in that time. These
must be provided by congress, as the
limited number allowed by law has
been almost filed, and the manning OF
the Puritan will exhaust the available
forces. The best plan to provide men
for the navy would be by an elastic
provision of law whereby men could be
recruited as needed without requirin e
fresh legislation every time new ship
is launched or the force, from any
cause, becomes too small. 1t takes
time to drill even able seamen for the
work of the navy, and exigeacies some
times arise in which time is not to be
had. If we are to become a naval ma
ton We must be prepared for all con-
tingencIes, and ability to equip a fleet
at short notice is one of these. The
sudden Assem- bling Of England's famous
flying squadron last winter was an OBJ
ject lesson which our nation should
take to heart

Col. Max, Frost

Among the many prominent names
mentioned in connection with federal
appointments from the ranks OF the
leading republicans of New Mexico,
the newspaper men and others have
been guilty of a grievous indifference
to the claims of a gentleman who is
second to none in his fidelity to the
party-COl. Max. Frost, of Santa te.
No man within the borders of the
territory is more familiar with the
people and things than Mr.. Frost.
Every curve on the political checker
board against the interests Of repub-
licanism and honesty, is understood and
generally checkmated by this astute
and learned politician. He has cred
itably filled several offices Of trust by
utilizing his business ability, and by
the graces OF his demeanOr has
achieved Il rank among statesmen and
scholars that justifes no modest aspira-
tions Mr.. FrOst's self-sacriticing party
la Dor is certainly recognized on every
hand therefore let his reward be on q
par with the great benefits the country
will enjoy under republican rule.-San

Electric RitterS.

Electric Bitters is medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more
generally needed, when the languid
exhausted feeling prevails, when the
liver is torpid and sluggish and the
need of tonic and alternative is felt.
A prompt use of this medicine has
often averted long and perhaps fatal
bilious fevers. No medicine will act
more surely in counteracting and free
ing the system from the malarial
poison. Headache, Indigestion, con-
stipation, dizziness yield 10 Electric
Ritters. SOC. and S1.00 per bottle at

About the Size of 1t.

The Florida Times Union notes an
influx of tramps at Jacksonville, and
while believing that many of them are
utterly worthless and dishonest, is
inclined to think that many have been
driven to their present life through
inability to obtain work. While ad-
vOcating repressive measures toward
the class, it says:
That a contrI buting cause to the evil
is our lax immigration laws no one can
doubt. Each year thousands of Jig
norant foreign paupers are dumped
upon the shores of the United States,
and these take work at wages upon
which a decent American workman
would soon literally starve. Revise
the laws until honesty and Intelligent
home labor will only have to compete
with similar class of foreign labor,
and the army Of tramps will diminish.

NIGHT HAWKS.

The people are again talking about
a curfew ordinance. Such an ordinance
is certainly needed in FL Paso and
should include all young people-girls
and boys-the latter all under twenty
one years and girls under eighteen,
and the hours should be between I p.
m. and 5 a. m. Such an ordinance
would keep all hoodlum girls and boys
off Utah street-a much desired thing
for the improvement of the morals of
our city.-Tribune.
The above sensible article from our
contemporary calls the attention of the
public to a much needed reform. Such
preventative legislation is desirable
indeed. The HERALD expects to be
heard on this subject at an early day.

EUROPEAN WAR TAXES.

The great game of war in Europe is
costly to the utmost limits of the abili-
ty of taxpayers to sustain the burden.
The German emperor is said to want,
in addition to his huge naval grant,
some $50, 900, 900, to be used in re-arm-
ing the artillery with quick firing
guns. This is in emulation of France,
which has been secretly providing new
rapid-fring guns in her artillery.
War would be cheaper than the costly
business of making ready for it, al
ways provided that it were short war
but that is the rub. Monarchs and
rulers all over Europe dread war be-
cause of the enormous risks attendant
on il, says the Mexican Herald.
