Ell PAso is in a fair wav to get her

Ell PASO is in fair way to get her
proposed international dam, notwith-
standing two enormous obstacles
which Laredo would not have to en-
counter in such an enterprise, viz:
First, not having the water and being
forced to provide such an immense re-
servoir as to catch and hold flood
waters; Second, being under the ne
cessity of spending about half mil
lion dollars in removing two railroad
tracks: Yet the benefits will far more
than justify the expenditure and they
know it; but the benefits could not
possibly be greater there than here,
and it is safe to say that the expense
here would not exceed one-third, of the
cost there. Surely this is inducement
enough for the people of the two Lare-
dos to move in the matter of a general
irrigating system by means of an inter-
national dam.-Laredo Times.

SICK OF SILVER.

1t is not often that Hon. Tom Wat
son, late brevet candidate for vice
president, says anything worth con-
sidering: but millions of people will
indorse his statement that the public
is weary of being "bombarded with
books and speeches and pamphlets
about silver" The thing was tiresome
enough when there was campaign in
progress and vote to be taken, but
now that the election is over and the
question decided, indulgence has ceased
to be even a shadow of virtue There
is no thirst for information upon the
subject, and still less desire for the sort
OF vociferation that is simply repeti-
tion of the stuff against which an over
wheIming majority was polled in
November.
There is nothing more certain about
our form of government than the fact
that it provides elections for the pur-
pose of settling things. The recent
emphatic verdict in favor OF the gold
standard was not contingent or tempo
rary, but absolute and very likely for
ever. 1t means that the people, after
fully and patriotically considering the
matter, had come to the conclusion that
free silver was fraud and reproach,
and that they did not want to hear any
more about it. That is the way they
feel today. Their choice has been
made, and their minds are fixed upon
affairs of practical interest and import
ance. They are anxious to get to work,
to increase their business, to kindle
fires in idle furnaces, to bring good
times back again. 1t is easy to under
stand, therefore, that this prolonged
and monotonous bowling with regard
to silver is burden and soreness of
flesh to them. The thing that they
desire above all else in q political
respect is deliverance from a kind of
elocution that is out of date and entire
ly useless. In short, they want the Is
to l spouters to shut up and go Off
somewhere out of sight. But for this
lingering manifestation of vocal dropsy
and insufferable folly, they would be
contented aDd happy. The general
situation is satisfactory to them, and
only this one annoyance exists to pre-
vent them from going ahead in a
cheerful and hopeful way to make the
most of their opportunities. Surely
they have right to insist that those
who are thus disturbing their peace
and hindering their welfare shall sub
side and let them alone.-Globe Dem
Ocrat.

Take Ayers SarsapariIIa for the Complexion
Christmas at the While House,

Christmas was celebrated in joyous
manner at the White House. The
children, not only of the president, but
of the entire cabinet circle, held high
carnival in the White House library.
A noble fir tree stood in the center of
the big semi-circular room so tall that
it touched the lofty ceiling and so thick
and broad that it almost filed the large
room. Until late in the night many
willing hands had worked under Mrs.
Cleveland's direction in beautifyng
this Christmas tree and as it stood next
morning when the bright sun of Christ
mas day shone upon its tinsel and gilt
ends sparkling in the artificial snow,
each pendant icicle betrayed some
pretty toy or knickknack concealed in
the thick foliage. 1t was a tree worthy
of the White House.
The children were early awake, up,
indeed, even before most of the SER
wants, and were soon gloating over the
presents that lay piled up around the
foot of the tree, and over the contents
of their stockings, which were gen
erouely filled by Santa Claus.

Meetings on Sunday.

Justice Reagan, of the New York
supreme court, denies the application
of August Hakehiloth, a Hebrew
religious society for articles of incoro
poratiOn because: THE time OF
holding its annual meetings is to be on
each and every second Sunday OF
January of every year"
The justice says: The question is
nos whether such meetings on Sun
day are Illegal, but whether they
should be approved by judge of the
supreme court. a thing may be law
full and yet not laudable.
'As justice of the supreme court, .
he continued. Il may not approve that
which the immemOrial and uniform
policy of the state condemns. Because
the holding of a corporate meeting on
Sunday is contrary to the public policy
of the state, if not to the letter of its
laws, | decline to approve this
certi ficate;'

In an interesting editorial, says the
Mexican Herald, Ell MUndo inquiries
why marriages are not more frequent
among Americans and MeXicans. 1t
remarks that Spaniards, Frenchmen
and Germans constantly intermarriage
with the people of this country, but
that unions between the young people
of the two great American republics
are of rare occurrence. The Mundo
seems to be exaggerating a little, for
some very distinguished MeXicans, in

have American wives. Ell Mundo
attributes the infreq uency of interna-
tional marriages to several causes; in
the first place to the difference of
language, which opposes a barrier to
intimate Intercourse. The Mexican
who cannot speak cannot feel, and he
soon becomes discouraged in making
love to a woman to whom he cannot
speak and who cannot respond to his
ardent rhapsodies:" The chief reason,
however, says Ell Mundo, is to be
sought in the difference of character,
education, modes of thought, customs,

Gaming on EOOtb all.

The New York World says: 1t is
possible that the last big football game
has been played in New York. Athletes
in the college are opposed to Yale and
Princeton meeting here next year. c..
G. Cuyler' and other members of the
Princeton team have announced them
selves as opposed to the playing of more
games in New York.
The obj actiOn to the games is the
speculation, immense crowds and the
failure of n any students to get tickets.
The principal feature that is objection
able to the games are the bling
results. 1t is believed that if the games
were played on the college grounds all
these disagreeable features would be
eliminated.

Principles OF Arbitration.

Arbitration is now the theme among
English speaking nations and communi-
ties or colonies, which have so much in
common that it seems barbarous to think
Of appealing to the arbitrament of the
sword. There is not a question at issue
between the United States and Great
Britain which could not be disposed Of
with honor and satisfaction by both sides.
There is no question, however, as to. the
position Of the Saint Paul & Duluth Rail-
road;in the Northwest, and hence there is
nothing to arbitrate. Everybody knows
that the Duluth Short Line is and has al
ways been the peoples popular route be-
tween St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth,
West Superior, Saltwater, Taylor's Falls
and other points OF interest and ilnpor-
lance The equipment is always lux11-
rious and Of the latest pattern; the trains
are fast and convenient the journey is
smooth and comfortable, and at hand
some terminals close connections are
made with trains running to all points
of the compass Always take the Duluth
Short Line and then you will be with the
people Ticket agents generally will be
willing. always to provide the inquirer
with maps, circulars and general Informa-
ton, or they may be obtained by. writing
