THE MEXICAN VOTE.

The question OF the right of Mexican
citizens to become nsturalized Amer
leans and vote at our elections is one
of great Importance to the Rio Grande
counties. Hon. Jack Evans and T. j..
McMinn. Two lawyers of San Antonio
have q test case pending before Judge
Maxey, in the United States court at
San Antonio, claiming that under the
constitution of the United States, the
Mexicans are disqualified because they
have other blood than Caucasian and
African flowing in their veins, and
therefore may not become voting citi-
zens OF the United States. Secretary
of State Richard Olney has written a
letter to Mr.. McMinn in which the
secretary sustains Mr.. McMinn's view
of the law on the subject. The letter
has been forwarded to Judge Maxey
before whom the proceedings to settle
the question Ia now pending.
At the last campaign Mr.. Slayden
and his friends made a serious inroad
into Judge Noouan's ranks, claiming
because Jack Evans is a republican
that the republican party was unfriend
ly to the Mexican, and the scheme
worked sufficiently to defeat our can
didates for congress from the 18th
district by 1000 votes.

New TampicO Route.

1t is reported, says the Mexican
Herald, that the Mexican Central
railway, as result of a recent survey,
found a practicable line from this city
to Tampico, which will be shorter by
quite a plumber of kilometres than any
existing line to the Gulf Of Mexico;
The line will not be of exceptlonai
difficulty to construct, and will in nc
place be of over three per cent grade.
The character of the hills encountered
is said to be slatey and this Will require
some heavy work for about 40 kilOmet
ers only. The Importance of this infor-
nation, should it be confirmed, is
obvious: it means, at no distance day

city to the important seaport OF lam

ST. Louis by Mark Hanna, according to
the Wash ngtou Post, but If he does it
will be IN the face Of protests from
some of the leading republicans of

the south. Kentucky repu blicans are

secretary to the president-elect. Mr.

Connected with large business enter
prises, which require his close atten'

details of such an office his attention,
and if he takes any office it will be one
of less dudgery and allowing him wider

have said that under no circumstances
would he accept the position of private

TEACHERS SALARIES.

Women who teach in the public

Utah $1O4. In trying to account for
these inequalities the Salt Lake Tribune
attempted to rave over the "unques-
toned beauty and gentler graces" OF
the women Of Arizona and Utah, but
this is far fetched. A more reasonable
supposition would be that it is worth
more money to consent to exist in those
lonesome countries OF desert ard sand

MCKINLEY'S PRIVATE SECRETARY

eff Mr. Mckinley brings newspa-

as his private secretary" said one of
the Ohio members to a Washington
correspondent, she will be following a
custom which has prevailed in Ohio
for some time. Successful gubernatOr-
ial candidates for several years have
appointed as private secretaries
newspaper correspondents who had
accompanied them in their campaign
tours. Campbell recognized the Gin
cinnati Enquirer by making its po-
litical man, Claude Meeker, at present
Consul to Bradford, his secretary.
