Notice to Shippers.
Office of Commercial Agent,


Ell Paso, Texas, Sept. 25, 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 sub
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
our patrons, we would announce that
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 0es-
| 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
| ritories, we would solicit routir
through St. Louis, care Frisco Line,

At Omaha Next Year,

Among the many interesting features
Of the Mississippi Exposition to
be held at Omaha next year is the pro-
posed congress Of agricultural indus
tries. It Is intended that this congress
shall be composed Of representative del
egates from all State Boards Of Agri-
culture, agricultural journals, horticul-
tural societies, dairymen's associations,
live stock breeders societies, and all
other kindred organizations, and will
continue in session for from two to four
weeks, during which time a number Of
national agricultural societies also will
hold their annual conventions in this
city. The congress will be distinctively
educational along the line Of advanced
agriculture, and has received the hearty
cooperation Of Secretary Wilson, Of the
Department Of Agriculture, of the great
agricultural journals, and of the most
eminent representatives Of all branches
Of the agricultural world. The foremost
thinkers in all lines of agricultural work
will publicly advance their ideas at this
congress, and demonstrate to the world
that many Of the brightest minds and
men of unquestiOned genius are conse-
Grated to the work of improving the con-
ditiOns Of agriculture and solving its
profound scientific and commercial prob
lens.

Christians VS.. Pagans.

Warren Fosters paper, Living Issues,
published at Salt Lake City, tells of a
lecture at that place recently delivered
by Miss Alderman, who told OF the
great evil of the opium habit in China.

one fact that China, with its millions of
people, was being degraded and de-

Of the opium traffic In China, and found
that at one time there was an edict in
China against the growing of poppies
and death penalty for the manufacture
OF opium; that a Christian nation with
the cannon's mouth forced the curse on
China"
Commenting on the charge that
heathendom was debauChed by christen-
dom, Mr.. Foster says: 'Tf Miss Acker-
man is correct in her history in relation
to the opium habit In China and India,

The facts in regard to the convention

Of the first things done was to select a
conference committee headed by Senator
Harris. The cOmittee was the first to
report. 1t reported that the Democrats
insisted ON the nominees for Clerk,
Treasurer, Sheriff and Clerk, and would
cOncede the others, with Senator for the
short term, to the Populists. This re-
port was not satisfactory to the POpu-
listcOnvention and the committee was In
struCted to have another conference and
endeavor to secure a more equitable di-
vision. When the committee called on the
Democrats for a second conference they
had already nominated the four candi-
dates for the remuneratiVe Offices and
refused to change their program. Sen
ator Harris urged that union be eff
fected on the best terms possible. The
POpulist convention named candidate
for Senator and then adjourned. The
Democrats Outnumber the Populists in
that county by large majority and they
were entitled to larger representation
on the ticket, but they should remember
that in counties where the opposite con-
ditiOn exists and to a greater extent the
Populists have given them at least one
remuneratiVe office. There seems to
be more Of desire for spoils than re-
gard for the success of principle domi
