Some Statements Regarding the Ell
PasO COllectOrship.

Up to the present time the HERALD
has refrained from taking any dish -
in the contest for the collectOrsbip of
the Ell PasO custom house and would so
refrain at present, if it were not for
the false statements made in the Morn
ing Times. which paper is known to
be organ OF r. F. Campbell and which
is virtually owned and controlled by
the Ell Paso democratic boss, The
Times says this morning that II. F.
Campbell will be the next collector of
Ell PasO, and then goes on to give John
ClemmOns and Senator Steve Elkins
as his endorsers. 50 much for miste-
ments, now for facts.
A HERALD reporter called on John
ClemmOns this morning and asked him
whether he went to Washington a
month or so ago to endorse Col. Camp
bell. John said: 81 did not go to
Washington to endorse either Cam p
bell or DilloD, nor did L end rse either
of these parties. l went to Washington
in my own interest. 1 wanted to be
appointed Chinese inspector at this
port and am going to get it,
This statement shows the kind OF
unreliable news the Times is d;shing
up to its readers. If the reporter had
enough energy to go across the stree,
| he could have stated facts instead OF
making the wish father to the thought
Now let's see about Steve Elkins en-
dorsement. 1t has been known to FL
Paso republicans since April 2, thai
Senator Elkins fatty refused to endorse
Bob Campbell for the collectorshiI
and he seemed to be proud of the fact
Congressman Ha sley and State
Chairman Green both oppose Col
Campbell for the collectorship, while
Senator Platt and the whole of the
New York delegation openly support
Captain Dillon for the collectorship o
this port.
It is hardly to be expected that &
man that has betrayed his party rs ex
Mayor Campbell in Ell PasO could ex
pect the endorsement Of the republi
cans of this place. And it is furthe,
we'll known fact that the democratic
ring of Ell Paso are the chief endorser:
of his candidacy for the collectorshiI
of this port
Another fact known to the republi-
cans of this place is that Col. Campbell
has not a ghost of show for the ap
pontment, and for this reason the
HERALD has made no statements re
garding the race for the collectorship
The HERALD is the only republican
paper published in Ell Paso and is the
only local source that can furnish poll
tical news of character that il at al
| reliable,

American and English Methods.

A very interesting movement is on
foot looking to the payment of a visit
to England-an and perhaps to other
European tries-says the Rail
way Age" by party of the heads OF
the MECHANICAL de partmenss of Ameri-
can rail " avs. The visit will not be a
pleasure trip however pleasant it may
incidentally be.) but will be FOR strictly
business and educational purposes. In
a great many WAYS American railway
practice is. considering the conditions
to which it has to be adapted, ahead
of the practice of any country in the
world. In many fields of railway me
chanics and railway operation Ameri-
cans can teach Englishmen more than
they can learn from them. On the
other hand European-and especially
Euglish-railway men get results in
some lines which do not seem to be
approachable in this country. Allow
ing for difference n quality of coal
and conditions of ST rvice, Englishmeu
will show an advantage in fuel economy
as translated into steam prod uctiOp
per pound of coal and also INTO haulsgt
capacity per ton of traiu-which needs
explanation.

MINERS AT PlTTSTON.
They Had Little Exercise OFF the
Amateur keystones.

The Miners had an open-date yester-
day and played the Keystones, an am
ateur club, at Pittston. Seven innings
were played at the Driving park, and
at the wind-up the tally was % to 7
in favor of the professional team.
About 400 spectators were present.
The grounds bore a greater resem-
blance to a COW pasture than a ball
field, and the game developed into q
contest Of hit-an-run, with good work
by either team out of the question.
Jack Fallon, of this city, who was
signed by Scranton as an amateur early
in the season and then released, pitched
for the Keystones, and was found for
26 hits. Out of this number Barry,
Griffin and Massey had five each, Ma
guire and Harper four each.
johnson pitched for the Miners as the
opportunity was considered a good one
to give him much-needed work.

his diamond career when he was with

association.
With that team were big Jack Mill
gan, Harry Stovey, the premier hitter
and base runner, Lon Knight another
great hitter and outfielder, and Judd
Birchal, the wonderful leftfielder whom
we have seen leap the low railing that
separated the old Exposition ball
ground from the encrcling horse track,
and take flies. Greatest among them
however, so far as games went, was
Bobby" Matthews. He had been
"resurrected," but was for some years
their great pitcher. The pitching dis
tance was considerably less in those
days, and the speed consequently
greater with speedy pitchers than now.

Wrenn turned the trick in three-set
match which was hard fought at all

was considered the decisive match of
the tournament. Only Nisbet now
stands between Wrenn and the silver
tankard.

yor in the deciding set Larned showed
traces of nervousness whereas Wrenn
played with admirable steadiness. The
