hat is not so learned in the law. The
democratic party have several such
awyers in its ranks who would be &C
eptable to republican voters at next
pring's elections.
A Chinaman can't vote but he can |
De assessed for city campaign fund
and that il where he has his pull with |
some Office seekers. The ''long green"
carries q strong influence. 1t not only
lets Cinnamon into the country, but 1t
also lets them violate the laws OF de-
cency and health with impurity.
The city of Ell Paso has for long
time been growing a very luxuriapt
crop Of lawyers, b 1t the city had not
counted on branching out and produc-
ing constitutional lawyers from the
bud.
A citizen may smoke hop, swap
grub for tequila, shoot craps, run
chuces game or kill his fellow man
without danger of being mole sted by
the law, but if he rides bicycle with
out lamp his name is Dennis in box
car letters.
Everybody in town knew that Re-
corder Patterson was a constitutional
Office seeker, but no one ever knew
tn ct powers of declaring laws unconsti
tutionl had heen delegated to him.
A subscriber to the fund for open air
concerts in the park, writes: will
you please suggest that hereafter the
McGinty band announce in advance
whether they are going to play CLASH
cal Or heavy music, or the popular
music. 1t is Il terrible bore for per-
son to fix up to go to the park and then
have lot of indoor concert music play
ed-especiaily when the wind, the kids
and two or thfe9 locomotives are max
ing all the no Sc they can LII ven
tuI the asser ton that there was not
one hundred people at the park last
n ght that enjoyed the concert. In
fact at times people in different parts
of the park / al 10 ask whether the
band was playing or rot.'
The knights of Labor Of this city are
proving tneme elves "a benefit to the
employees of this s. ction ana can prove
themselves of untotd advantage 10 the
working classes if they will keep right
on IN conservative policy. Every
laboring man in the city should join
the order 50 that its indueace would be
strong when necesol y demanded.
There is no other city in the world
where the recorder is al owed to de-
clare the laws of the state uncOnstitu-
tioral. The judges OF the supreme
court are supposed 10 be the only au-
thOrity On cons ,itutioual law, but then
there is no telling what an Fl PasO
Office holder will do.
District Clerk Escajeda denies the
allegation and deuuGnces the alligator
That ga d he was receiving two fees IN
the city'S tax cases.
Now thai district court has adjourn
el the county will nave d cnauce &c
recupGraJe It's shattered financial con-
dltIOa. Courts are one o! the nee
esSary evils" of the times AID the tax
pay ers must stano them, bat it does
look Ike me Jurles cJ4ld be worked So
hat IL would not cost The cJuuty Sis
per Gay in evil suits by the d scharg-
ing OF matt the jury until the case haC
been lr.ed. There is no nee ssity Tor
jurors To appear uaily in the cour,
| room when case is on trial and there
| is no chance to empaGel a new jury.
The docket of the district court, in
! Ell PasO county, is So Over loaded tina
| IL is now lupJsoIo.e To try All the cases
even with e.gnt mOnth's court in the
year. FL Paso county ueeos another
district judge. for awhile at least, sc

clearing up The docket, especially 80 i

Is entirely too lenient with tie law
