WASHINGTON, June "a communi-
cation has been received at the state
department from Tegueulpia, Hondu-
ras, that New York syndicate COM
posed of Chauncey NJ. Depew, John
Jacob Astor and others have executed
bonds for twenty million dollars, for a
contract with the Honduran govern
ment whereby the syndicate purchases
the bonds of that government. The
concession gives the right to construct
an inter-oceanic railway from Puerto
Cortes to the west coast. The bonds
are secured by a transfer of the gov
ernment revenue, and this, it is be-
lieved, will insure the republic against
future revolutions and will be followed
by the expenditure of large sums of
American capital in developing the
agricultural and mining interests of
the republic.

A Day of Rest,

It is we'll known among scholars OF
ancient lore that the pagan nations
were observers of the seventh day,
which was essentially one of rest.
Hesiod speaks of the seventh day,
''as holy day" Homer declares that
the seventh is the 'day on which all
things were perfected" The same is
supposed to have been the fact in
reea ard to the northern nations OF
Europe, from which we are immediate-
ly descended. The earliest civilized
race possessing the country known as
Mesopotamla, the Chsldees, had at
| tained to high degree of civilization.
According to recently produced evil
dence, the Chaldeans observed day of
rest. Each month had Sabbath called
Sabbath, on the 7th, 18th, 21st and
9th days, besides a fifth one on the
18th. Aye, even before the Chaldeans'
time the day of rest was common
throughout the world, and traceable,
more or less, at any rate, as far back
as Noah.
Now towards the close of the 10Th
century when civilization has apparent
ly reached its highest pinnacle, when
throughout the entire world day OF
rest is observed. Clerks in our city
are refused this boon just because two
merchants Withhold their consent from
the otherwise mutual agreement OF
c-OsluS Oue udy OuG VI ScNcu.
Look in the east, there is no other
city in Texas where clerks have to
work IA to 1S hours day.
El Paso ought to keep up with
civilization and demand of their mer-
chants the granting of the pleadings Of
their clerks.
81. GILBERT.
A late issue of the Galveston News
mas the following which is now of in
terest in FL PasO in view OF the grow
ing movement to secure early closing
hours at the stores. Fifty of the lead
ing Galveston retailers have signed an
agreement to close their stores on
Sunday. This includes q number OF
groceries, which, although privileged
under the law to keep open until 9
O'Clock, have agreed to close hard and
fast for the entire day. The five lead
ing dry goods houses were not asked to
sig gn the agreement, for the reason
that they have never done any Sunday
business anyway, and would under no
open their stores on the
first day of the week. The Retail
Clerks union has employed an attOr-
ney and will undertake to see to It that
the merchants who keep open sixteen
to twenty hours day and seven days
IN the week shall close or answer for
the violation of the law. The prospects
are that Sunday selling will be a thing
Of the past from now on and that the
clerks will have their coveted day of
rest.
