Ell PASO COLLEC ORSHIP.
NJ Kinley is not Rushing Appointments

A Washington special to Houston
Post: Colonel Bob Campbell, who
wants to be collector of customs at Ell
Paso, was at the White House today,
but he failed to learn when the appoint
ment would be made.
Private Secretary Porter said this
afternoon that Texas appointments
were in a muddle; that great many
letters had been received from lead
ing Texas republicans urging the ap-
poiutment of this and that applicant,
but that the president was disposed to
let matters go over until the faithful
could agree among themselves.
There is lively fight in progress
over the Ell Paso collectorship. The
fight Is not so much between the rival
candidates, Captain Dillon and Col
onel Bob Campbell, as it is protest
on the part of Texas republicans
The outsider In question is Mr.. Moth
ersill of Albuquerque, n. NJ. He is in
dorsed by Secretary of War Alger and
Mr.. jeff Reynolds of Canton, OHIO, and
under this administration Ohio in
huence is not to be sneezed at. Quite a
mum Der of Ohio repu blicans have been
appointed to office over native repub-
licaus, aud hence Messrs. Campbell and
Dillon have cause for alarm.
Iecior of customs at Ell Paso expires
October %, but it is not like ly that the
president will make an immediate ap-
poin,meut. The fact is, the admins
tration is so much interested in the
Ohio election and the state elections
That it can not take time to consider
applications for appointments to fedora
offices in Texas.
The talk now is that the president
will wait until after the Ohio election
before appointing any marshals, inter-
nal revenue collectors or collectors OF
customs for Texas. The offices now
awaiting the presidents attention are
United States marshal for the San Anto
niu district and collector of customs at
Galv, son. The term of the Internal re-
venue collector for the Austin district
expires on the 18th instant and the
commission of the collector Of customs
expires on the 18th instant. Here are
four good offices the president can fill
before the Ohio election, but it Is safe
to say that they will all go over until

q. S Marshal for the Western District.

The term of Office of the present
democratic incumbent Mr.. Ware, U.
S. marshal for the western district OF
this state has expired, and Mr.. ware
has been continued in office temporary
ly until his successor is appointed.
The office has been sought after by
several candidates, from different
of the district, but the fight
has narrowed down to MIR.
Jno. B. Walter of this city and Mr..
Seibrecht of La Grange. Walter Is
backed by DR.. John Grant and
Seibrecht by Congressman Hawley.
Within few days letter has been
addressed to the president signed by
leading business men OF this city ask
ing that Mr.. Walter be appointed, for
many substantial reasons among them
hat San antonio is entitled 10 some
favor 1T the hands of the administra-
ton; that the marshalship has always
been given to remote parts OF the
district: that San Antonio Is the
business center Of the district as we'll
as the political focus of this congress
sional district: that here is located the
headquarters of the federal courts.
The eminent fitness of Mr.. Walter is
set forth by the petitioners. 1t is a
strong conservative appeal to the pres
ident and should have weight in decid-
ing the contest
There are some 90 counties in this
judicial district, only three OF these
counties are located in Mr.. Hawley's
copgr essional district, therefore Mr..
Hawley's contention is unreasonable
particularly in face of the fact that Mr..
Walter is endorsed by almost the solid
constituency of the district, and es-
pecially by the large booy of our Ger
man-American citlzens: and by the
German press as well. So that if the
president desires to favor this element
of our population by the appointment
of Standardization Mr.. Walter is
their almost unanimous choice. We
hope President Mckinley will care
fully look over the contest and we feel
assured he will not put aside lightly
the requests of so large and intelligent
body of citizens. We want to see an
influential, able man in the marshal's
office, and Mr.. Walter fills the bill as
no other candidate does who has ap-
plied.-San Antonio Light.

steamers direct from New York to Gal

Notice to Shippers.

Office of Commercial Agent.
Ell Paso, Texas, Sept. %, 1897.
1t has been decided by the Southern
Pacific Morgan Line Sunset Route
Management to withdraw steamers
from the Algiers route and have them
sail direct to and from New York and
Galveston, during the continuance OF
the quarantine restrictions at New
Orleans and vicinity.
All steamers leaving New York SUBJ
seQuent to Sept. 18th, will land at
Galveston. There will, therefore, be
no detention to Sunset route seabOard
business.
For the protection of the interests of
restrictions have been promulgated
prohibiting the handling of freight or
iginating in New Orleans, or passing
through that point, either having des-
tinatiOn in the state of Texas, or des-
tined to points beyond; therefore, we
would request that for the present no
freight be routed through New Or
leans.
On freight originating in Chicago,
Cleveland, Cincinnati and adjacent ter
rltories, we would solicit routing
through St. Louis, care Frisco Line,
H. & T. G. and Southern Pacific; nj. K.
& 7 H. Il T. G. and Southern Pacific:
G. r. I. & p, II. g. T. G. and Southern
Pacific; or Burlington. M. K. & T., H.
Il T. G. and Souther Pacific.
This does not in any way effect
freight to and from seaboard via Nor.
gan L ne steamers and Sunset route,
ss same does not pass through New
Orleans.
The post Office department advise
that all ID all from New Orleans to Mo-
bile Scranton, Ocean Springs and
other supposed infect districts Is fumi-
gated and no danger from that source
is likely to arise.

THE gold production of South Africa
for the first eight months of 1897 in
dicates that the total output for the cur-
rent year will far Sc exceed that of 1896
The same way may be said also of near.
ly all other gold fields, especially In
the United States, where California.
Colorado, Montana and South Dakota
seem to be turning out good deal
more gold bullion than in 1896. and
the New York Engineering and Min
ing Journal says the outlook is for an
astonishing increase in the world s total
this year, with the United States still
in the premier place. Even Bryan
himself will scarcely attribute this
desirable result to anything else than
republican policy.

MR.. JOHN b. WALTER has many
warm friends in Ell Paso: who hope to
see him win in the fight for the office
OF United States marshal for the west
ern district of Texas. A report was
circulated here that he had taken an
active interest in favor of one of the
candidates in the collectorship fight,
which did not please the friends Of the
opposition, but Mr.. Walter authorizes
the HERALD to state that while he
endorsed one of the candidates he has
taken no action that could possibly be
construed as unfriendly to the others.

AdulteratiOn Of Food.

We cheerfully give space to the fol
lowing letter from the United States
department of agriculture, division OF
chemistry.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. II, 1897.
EDITOR HERALD.-By direction OF
congress the department OF agriculture
is investigating the character and ex-
tent of the adulteration of foods and
drugs. 1t is generally believed that
adulteration, capitalization, imitation,
and misbranding of foods, drugs and
liquors exist to a very great extent.
Many of the states have enacted laws
to prevent such practices, and 1t is
very desirable to know how these laws
have been enforced, and with what re-
suits.
AS the general public is largely in
terested in this matter, as IL affects
health, morals, and legitimate trade, 1t
S thought proper to ask the co-opera-
ton OF the press in securing accurate
information on the subject. The
publication of simple request for in
formation on this subject, to be fur
nished the paper asking it, or sent
direct to the chemical division of the
department of agriculture, will in al
probability secure a large amount OF
valuable data which will materially
assist in properly carrying out the
work. AS no matter can be OF more
Importance to the people of the United
States than that of the extent and
character of the adulteration of foods
and drugs sold them, l take the liberty
of asking your cooperation in the
work as herein indicated. Please state
that the department. simply desires a
concise statement of facts, which can
be fully substantiated if necessary, and
not theories. Respectfully,
Approved: A. >. WEDDERHCkN'
