IN reading the article reprinted to-
day from the Times let it be kept in
mind that the Red Light mentioned is
the place run by Jim Burns for many
years; that Charley Patterson as
Burns's attorney did his best to pro-
tect his client, one of the worst of Of
tenders, and to keep him out of trouble
with officers of the law; and that this

As TO MUNICIPAL MORALS.

In another column we reprint an ar
ticle from Sundays Times. The ar
ticle is headed Life in the Tender
loin." 1t is short account OF the re-
wells that nightly disgrace this city,
and help to drain 1t of life blood. The
HERALD might spend its time and use
up it's space in detailing these things,
but some people would say that our &C.
count was prejudiced and unworthy of
belief. But the Times is the acknowl-
edged organ of the corrupt city admin
istration.
1t has used every means to discour-
age any agitation of the questions of
public morals and enforcement of state
laws which we have voiced from time
to time. 1t has used that last argu-
ment OF q morally weak man over and
over again-that the city OF Ell Paso
Is no worse than other cities.
It has taken the stand that 1t is best to
overlook and forget these things since
the airing of the truth concerning
them might give the town bad name
in the eyes of outsiders. 1t has upheld
the police and the mayor, it has patted
the city administration on the back,
and has tried ito draw the wool over
the eyes of the people and to lead
them to believe that the attitude the
HERALD has assumed was taken from
political motives purely.
Now we find this same paper giving
up its space to an account of the very
deviltry it has been, in effect If not in
words, upholding. Note the use of the
word prosperity" Prosperity indeedl
So hereafter we will know what the
Times means by it's grandiloquent ap-
peals for unity and CO cooperation in up
lifting the town, and in taking advan-
tsge of the prosperity that is at our
doors.
The Times seems to be little proud
of prosperity that is debauching
young men, running girls, and breaking
up families, causing tragedy after
tragedy, many of which never come to
light, and breeding crime faster than
the brood can be disposed Of The
Times does not lay it on very thick,
Those dance halls are more vile, more
depraved, more poisonous, than any
who have not seen them can ever
guess.
And the finishing touch to the Times's
.shamelessness,is found in the column Of
that paper Immediately adjoining the
one in which appears the article else.

Prosperity seems to have come to Ell
Paso in full force and every night the
evidence of the fact can be seen by q
visit to the Tenderloiu. Thither the
crowds flock every night in ever in
creasing numbers and at the dance
halls they are to be seen in their night

During the dull summer months bust
ness was slow in the Tenderloin and
the dance halls closed their doors and
their oevotees sought other fields
Now all this is changed. Two of the
three halls, the Monte Carlo and the
Red Light, have reoponed their doors
aud there are indications that the
Bonanza on Stanton street will soon
reopen for business. At each place
twelve girls and scores of supposedly
respectable young men of frostbitten
virtues keep up the giddy whirl.
At the Red Light on Utah street the
floor is crowded all the time every
night with the devotees of Terpsichore
and the music is seldom silent as the
dancers glide around in the mazes Of
the dreamy waltz or the voice of the
caller sings out the movements of til e

rushing business in dispensing liquid
refreshments to the weary dancers

usuRY LAWS.

1t is stated that law will be In
troduced by the Fusionists at the
next session OF the legislature, reduc-
ing the rates of interest In this state
from s and 10 per cent IT, Q and g.
This is an attempt to accomplish a
desirable result in an impractlcable
way.
tis very doubtful.if any usuary.law
ever was or could be framed that
would effect the result for which 1t
was intended. No law forbidding the
exaction or payment of more than a
specified rate Of interest is worth the
paper on which 1t is printed.
The rate Of interest is strictly gov
erned by the law Of supply and de-
mand. The man who lends his money
exacts the highest interest that he
can command, and the man who bor-
rows pays as low rate as possible. No
direct sJatuatory law can compel the
capitalist to lend his money for ri ven
rate or less, and no direct statutory
law can prevent the borrower from
paying whateyer rate is necessary to
secure the loan.
There are too many ways of avoid
ing law Of that kind. No law can
prevent the loan agent" from de.
manding "bonus" for his services,
and no law can prevent the borrower
from paying 1t, II be can procure the
loan In no other way.
Here is true story which illus
trates the point; "a party In Salem
several years aeo wished to borrow
$25 for six months, being obliged to
have IT by certain date. He applied
to loan agent, and after waiting I'M
I'll the eleventh. hour, he was informed
that the money could be had on these
terms; $5 bonus, $i.25 for recording
papers, interest 10 per cent. Having
no time to look further, the borrower
closed the deal. He received $1S.75,
and paid back s26.25 at the enl OF six
He paid at the rate OF Sl5 a
year on 1875, or 80 per cent. This is
an extreme case, but It shows the i'm
potance OF usury laws.

Ryseuation Being Delayed 50 Spain May

NEW YORK, Sept. l4.-A special to
the Times from, Washington says:
The Spaniards are not evacuatine
Cuba as fast as many people In this
country wish them 10. II is claimed
~ those who are urging the govern
ment TO take vigorous steps toward
acceleratlng the retirement of the
Spanlards from the island and that
the government at Madrid is trying
to hold on to the Cuban customs
duties as hong as possible.
II this be true, 1t is reason that
ali thrifty merchants can understand
and appreciate. Spain has had moth
ing to consider but debts and outlay
for months. 1t is gratifying TO hope
TO be able to take In some thousands
OF dollars OF revenue from Cuban Gus
tom houses, which many persons in
this country think should be already
open and free to goods from America.
The administration does not, how
ever, credit this charge against Spain,
nor does II agree with those who
make complaints that the Spaniards
are not getting out fast enough. 1t
recognizes that 1t is not an easy thing
to pack 100000 troops out from
any country In a short time, The
problem becomes quite serious when
the country endeavoring to do this
has no money, little credit and few
boats at her command, and it Is will
ling to give Spain some latitude in
the matter. 1t has no intention of
acting In hasty manner and in or
derlng the defeated soldiers to move
on. Much has been dJne, aud the ad.
mlnlstratlon is willing to allow time
for the performance OF the great task |
that Spain has on hand.
The administration is none the less
determined that evacuation shall be
completed as soon as po sible.
The peace commissioners who, have
just reached Havana will impress
upon the SpanlaTds the necessity of
moving out as rapidly as possible, ac-
cording to the terms of the protocol.
1t is quite certain that the terms of
the final treaty of peace will be more
emphatic and peremptory. The
Spaniards must go, but the govern
ment is Inclined to act good-humor.
