EVIDENTLY Mr.. Bryan and his colerie

that there are few things in the realm
81 finance that they don't know. The
papers tell us that Mr.. Bryan has gone
TO Europe To study finance, and several
Of his disciples under the guidance oi
Ex-senator Dubois will go To japan TO
study the system Of finance recently
established in that country. Last fall
these same people told us that the
United States was able To dictate the
financial policy Of the world, and that
all the talk about harmonizing our sys-
TEN with those of other countries was
decidedly un-American. Queer. isn't it?
The progress which the tariff bill hns

A Hard Looking Formation.

People down in the southeastern part
of the town say with Mr.. Stacey that
it will be over two years before the ef-
fects of the great flood of 1897 have
been entirely obliterated. The marks
may remain permanently unless more
vigorous steps are taken to recover
from the shock" than have been taken
in the last thirty days.
The ground is still soft in Rand 8
grove and the grove to the north of
the T. & P, but the whole section is
being covered up by a dense growth of
vegetation. When the ground dries,
part of it will make fine market gar
dening. OF the tannery nothing re-
mains, but three big wooden tanks, the
pressure tank, the furnace and lot of
canigre stock. The entire
section through the tract be-
tween the grove and George
Gaienne's and beyond Charlie Patter-
sons place is a dismal wreck and ruin.

American XOcaliStS Abroad.

The list of American young women
who achieve distinction the opera
tic stage IN Europe lengthens year by
year, and IN most cases they have won
success in part by their perseverance
that has come To be regarded as a ma
tional char acterlstic. Miss Minnie
Tracey has won the recognition in
Europe for which she strugg ed and to
which soc is entitled by her talent.
Miss Tracey WAS a social as we'll as an
operate success in Philadelphia dur
ing the season of lS95-96. After q
raLner severe illness Miss Tracey
bravely returned to her studies abroad,
and so perfected herself in her art that
she has just signed an engagement for
next season with the cele DRAFTED Son
congo of Milan. Miss Tracey will APP
pear in Massenet's Go, III Leoncaval-
los | Medici, as 'Donoa Anna" in
"Don Giovanni" aud perhaps In Andre
Chevier. She will 90 to Bucharest
for special engagement in January,
and her time will be so occupied by
other eng agements that her reIurn to
America will be delayed indefinitely.
Miss Tracey's home Is IN Albany, d
city that has given many noted singers
TO the world of music.
Another American girl who has won
q pronounced success abr Dad, especial
ly In LONDON, is Miss Strong, of Brook
lyn. English critics have referred 10
ner as quite the ideal "Sieglinde. {"
Both Miss Tracey AMI Miss Strong
represent the typiI al American girl,
talented and determined to succeed in
spite of all obs tacles. And they have
succeeded.

The park WIS crowded again last
night on the occasion of the seventh
summer concert of the season by the Nc
Ginty band. The adm irers OF ''ioug
haired" and ''short haired music" APP
peared to be evenly divided. as the two
classical numbers recei we'd almost as
much applause as ''My Darktown Gal"
which caused surprise in the band
stand. 1t is pleasing 10 the lovers of
fine music to note that the popular APP
probation of the higher com Iositions
is growing, and that the dang{r of the
Friday nights programs being entirely
given over to ''.hort haired husic" is
practically over. The Management OF
the band is not to blame for this, as
certain subscribers to the concert fund
have been insisting on a whOop-hip-
hoorray, let 'er go gallagher, slap
dash-here-we-are-ag again, order of music,
and it has teen more or L. ss
difficult to convince them that the e
are other people who have taste, t. he
catered to also, and that the latter are
sufficiently numerous to warrant being
given some consideration. 1.-THE Night
that Larry's Neck was Stretched"
My Baxter Street Gsl,' and His
Coney Island Drunk" may all be very
nice-in their way, but, as was said of
Fair, Fair With Golden Hair" still,
we do not like it in our butter: and
Sufeli OF short haired muSIc' to the
exclusion of nobler compositions would
create a great deal of dissatisfaction.
But now there is reaction, strong
tendency to the style of program of
last season, everything looks lovely
and the goose hangs exceedingly in
altitudiuem, for music is being given
to please ali classes of people, with a
tendency to raising the standard. This
has been done elsewhere with marked
success.
The public were we'll pie a ed last
night, and thera will be just occasion
for further qualification next week as
the clarinet section is to be materially
enlarged by new members 1t has bet
difficult to find clarinet players in this
part of the country. although they are
plentiful enough in the more thickly
settled part of the country, aud the
wood wind in the McGinty band has
been overshadowed by the brass wind.
However, now both parts will be evened
up. Later in the season several more
men are expected from the east, and in
the fall, MIR. Rhomberg returns. and
in this ounection it will be interesting
to note that the bands former aud
favorite snare drummer, E. II Offiey,
writes that stranger things have hap
pened than his return to Ell Paso would
be. There is evidently good future
ahead for the McGinty band.

The Myrtle avenue street railway
franchise crowd are lying low
and saying nothing about the fran
chise. They expected to work the
scheme through at the last meeting of
the city council withoutletting the.pro-
perty owners who were affected know
anything about the move, but after
they failed they did not want the mat
ter ventilated. The whole thing looks
keep more enterprlsin people from
coming to Ell Paso and building a de-
cent street car line. The people living
on Myrtle avenue do not want a street
car lire of any kind-even though the
electric system were adopted. They
want the avenue retained for driving
purposes and for an entrance to town
from the lower valley. These people
do not oppose hay wagons being d iv
en- on the street, but they do oppose +
line of cars being run on the street to
bring in the alfalfa from below town.
"Too many street railway franchises
have already been granted" said q
prominent lawyer this morning eff
the records are gone over it will be
found that nearly every principal street
in town Is now covered with street
railway franchise. The streets are not
being used now for that purpose, but If
an enterprising company should be
formed for the purpose of building an
electric line the old franchises would
be sprung and the new company would
have to buy out these franchises at
high figures before they could build.
There is now street car track running
down Stanton street that is not used
aud the track is covere up. but if q
new company should want to build on
that street they would find the old
moss-back company had the right of
way. 1t is the same to East Ell Paso.
The old company owns a streak of rust
and right of way to Washington
park, but they never run a car over the
track. These old franchises ought to
be annulled so that some one else could
have q chance if they wanted to invest
money here"

HOW SWELL THEY FEEL.
The Protest Against Granting the
Railway Fra uchise.

Ell PAso, Texas. August 6. 1897.
To tt e Honorable City Council of the
City of FL Paso, Texas. Gentle
Whereas, The FL Paso Street Rail
way company has asked your honor
able body for franchise to build a
street railway upon Myrtle avenue in
the City of Ell Paso:
Now, therefore, We, the uodersign-
ed, property owners and residents upon
Myrtle avenue and other residents OF
said city, do hereby earnestly protest
against the granting of such a fran
chise, for the following reasons, aud
each of them:
1st. Because Myrtle avenue is one
of the principal residence avenues OF
said City of Ell Paso, and many of Us
have purchased property and homes on
said avenue with the distinct under
standing with large property owners
that consent should not be given for
the building of street railway upon
said street.
End That the county road from E.
PasO 10 Ysleta aud other towns in the
valley below Ell Pa connects with
Myrtle avenue, and said avenue benz
one of the principal thorOug0fares OF
said city there is consequently more
travel upon it than upon any other re-
sidence street in said city, and shou d
a street railway be built upon same it
will greatly decrease the usefulness of
said avenue as public highway for
tie benefit of the people of the city Of
Ell Paso and Ell PasO county.
3rd. Because Myrtle avenue is one
of only very few good drive-ways aud
bicycle roads in the city of Ell Paso,
and is the longest and best street for
such purposes In said city, and the
building of a street railway upon said
street will greatly dec case the useful
ness of same as an avenue for driving
and bicycling.
4th. AS property owners upon said
street we protest agar the granting
of a fl anchise to build d street rail a y
upon same, for the reason that il will
greatly decrease the value of our pro-
perty and make said street or avenue d
less desirable place for the ui!ding OF
permanent homes.
9Th. Because there is no demand or
necessity for the building of a street
ra lway upon Myrtle avenue at this
time.
We therefore respectfully pet ion
your honorable body to refuse the
franchise prayed for.
