the fall of silver has caused many new
factories to spring up, but yet there
are not enough factories to supply one
twentieth of the demand for goods for
Mexico and as all machinery used in
the factories are of foreign manufacture
it will be at least fifty years before the
demand can be supplied with home pro-
ducts. The table lands of Mexico are
always subject to drought and If one
should occur while silver is at its pres
emit low stage the country would almost
be impoverished in buying foreign corn
to feed it's furnishing Inhabitants. The
government also has trouble in getting
gold to meet it's foreign obligations.
That country, however, ia very re.
sourceful and will probably work out OF
it's present intricate difficulties, but the
best o. an for it to pursue is to adopt a
gold system and to have stable cur
rency. With stable currency there
ia no country in the world that would
forge to the front as fast as Mexico, but
with silver as q basis that country will
have to work on in the same old rut 1t
has trodden for the past twenty years.
The Quien Sabe club is a new poll
tical organic alton that has lately been
formed for the purpose, it Is related,
of fOO1ing railroad men into voting the
machine ticket at next springs city
election. The machine of Ell PasO has
got to that point where they can no
longer depend on the home vote put
ting them in power, but seek a floating
vote and knowing that the ma jOrity OF
railroad men have no time to devote
to local politics, the machine is now
trying to bambozzle them into support
ing a cut and dried machine ticket
which they expect to put up next
|
porting city officers from outside cities
there will not be many votes left to II
next spring but a few floating votes
that Happen along and the blatant
minious of the machine who are ovel
ready to do the bosses bidding under
any and oil circumstances. The chanc
es are that the Quien Sabe club will b.
a boomerang before the spring cit.
elections occur.

! Mexicans around for an hour. Parson

worked up over the report that appear

such a story as the whole right up ii
based entirely on fiction. Jim says h'

| Doc Albers has BEEN corresponding
with the San Antonio base ball team
and is trying to get them out here 81
that Ell Paso can play at the fair. Al
offer was made to pay their fare an6
lexpenses from Ell Paso to Albuquerque
and give them all they won at the
fair. The team, however, wanted their
fare and expenses paid from San An.
ionic, this Mr.. Albers refused to- dc
and thus the matter stands. The Sar
Antonio team is the champion team OF
the state, but the club went to pieces
asst month for want of support.
