ROOSEVELT FOR GOVERNOR.

The nomination of Roosevelt to the
office OF Governor Of the State of New
York is merely another instance Of
what we all describe as the tidal wave
in politics, the tidal wave that carried
Cleveland int, the Presidency in 1893.
When the tidal wave moves rapidly
across the waters OF national politics,
1t is governed by laws as definite as
those which govern the ocean tidal
movements. The optimists like to
look upon 1t as a wave of political
virtue, which lands away up on the
beach all the floating wickedness and
leaves it there. This it rarely does.
OF course Tom Plat regards with
some disgust the Roosevelt wave. 1t
breaks from their moorings too many
OF the Plat crafts, and then wrecks
them. 1t throws the Machine Off the
track, and 1t costs labor and money
and patience to get 1t back on the
track An old veteran like Plat looks
upon Roosevelt as the West Indian
looks upon an occasional hurricane
inevitable at times but undesirable.
Indeed his election strengthens the
Machine, for the people fall back into
Indifference, and overestimate the
power OF good man like Roosevelt to
make reforms.
The Republican as well as Democra-
tic leaders both in the City and State
of New York have no confidence in
Roosevelt. His services as Police
Commissioner were in daily violation
Of the rules laid down in the Political
Catechism. President Dole Is a suck
ing dove in comparison with him, dur
ing those periods when ~the boys
walked into his Office and told him
what to do for the good of the country
land for themselves. He used langu-
age that good mothers take painful
care to prevent reaching the ears of
their little children.
But Plat will out-general him. For
Plat and Croker, on the appearance
Of common enemy at once join forces.
United they are able to pass laws over
the head OF the governor. So the cleo
ton of Roosevelt will bring upon the
Republican Machine only a temporary
affection.

At the same time, strong as has
been the revolt by many Republicans
against the Bossism of Plat, 1t still
remains that he Justly and wisely re-
presents the average moral and poll
teal sentiment of the party. The Boss
Is as necessary as the captain of ship
Is necessary, or the colonel of regi-
ment Is necessary. The most powerful
Boss Is he who reads most clearly the
sentiments OF the average party man,
and uses that sentiment in constructing
the Masheen. The tidal waves, the re-
volts. have their part however, in the
sure and gradual elevation Of the
average political thought. The Boss
is no leader whatever in the education
Of the people. He takes things as he
finds them. When his clear vision
fails him. or he becomes too good"
or worst of all, makes more promises
than he can keep, then by silent but
inevitable process, another person
quietly appears and takes his place.
Roosevelt as Governor of the State
of New York will be a striking figure,
although he will not exceed Cleve-
lands integrity, while occupying that
office.

Military Horses.

On one occasion a cavalry regiment
was out in pursuit OF Indians, when
darkness came on, and the American
soldiers encsmped for the night. Dis
mounting from their horses they teth-
cred their animals by a long line to
the ground.
Towards day break, q violent storm
of rain and hail came on and burst
over the valley where the camp was
pitched, with terrific force. This so
frightened the horses that they broke
loose from their fastenings, and in
their fright msdly gslloped away.
This was q very serious matter for
the soldiers, for without horses they
were at the mercy of their enemies,
and could neither fight successfully nor
escape. Yet not knowing the country
or the position of the Indians they were
afraid to follow their horses.
Suddenly the captain ordered the
stable call to be sounded. The bugles
rang forth. The horses heard them,
and at once aud by force of habit re-
turned to their plsces.-San Antonio

Meehan and The Cinnamon.

The HERALD reporter this morning
noticed peculiar. twinkle in Chinese
Inspector Meehan's eyes and knew
there was certainly something in his
mind worthy of publication. In an in
terview Mr.. Meehan said: eyes, 1
have 8 few yellow individuals. I de-
tanned three Sunday pending an in
vestigation and yesterday 1 captured
two at what is known as the Chinese
Gardens about four miles east of Ell
Paso. One was deported Sunday and
one comes up for trial this afternoon.
The actions of the Chinaman are as
mysterious as those of the fox" con-
tinued Mr.. Meehan with q suspicious
laugh. "You block their avenue of
invasion in one place and the first
thing you know they have another
means by which to evade the law and
enter the United States. Some people
might regard my methods of enforcing
the law as severe, but only q man in
my position and with years of exper-
fence in the Office is proper to Judge
me-" Mr.. Meehan is q man who sell
dom seeks to unload his opinions upon
anyone and this article may be con-
sidered as q way-up scoop. Mr.. Nee
hans district extends miles into Ari-
zona-s district much too large for one
man to look after, but the Cinnamon
find it very difficult to enter even with
all the room afforded them.

Board of EQUALIZATION.

The board of equalization met this
morning and were having picnic all
day listening to the different tales of
woe that the compliments had to tell
as to why they were charged too much
on real estate: household goods, and
personal property.
It was hard work for some of the ap-
praisers to hold a straight face, when
some of the victims would tell what an
outrage had been committed on them
by the enormous raises that had been
perpetrated on their property.
One man was taxed on a stock of
$4,000. He said: 81 have hardly half
that amount in my store" Commits
sioner Courchesne asked him if he
didn't carry insurance to cover twenty
five thousand dollars worth of stock.
Eyes sir, L took out an insurance to
that smount last year." said he. "but
1 have had a closing out sale since
then and my stock is not near as big
as it was" Judge Harper said he
thought the gentleman was right so in
this instance the amount was reduc-
ed.to $4,000.
There have been good many reduc-
tiOns made in the different assessed
amounts, but some were unable to con-
vince the appraisers that they were too
high in their estimates, SO these were
left at the original amount.

MORE RECRUITS
Wanted For The Regular Army

Uncle Sam Ia still calling for more
men to serve in the regular army, and
as there are so many men in the small
towns that want to join the army. and
as there are not enough in any one
town to make full company,
the Texas and Pacific r. r. for the
purpose of recruiting all the good able
bodied men who wish to enlist.
The car arrived in Ell Paso yesterday
afternoon. The recruiting officer is
Lieutenant Howard L. Laubach. He
has until lately been q second ieuten-
ant, assigned to the 23rd infantry that
passed through here on its way to
Manila, but when the government was
stood the examination and was
successful in passing, but has not yet
received his commission as first lieut.
enant from the war department, and is
as yet unassigned. Lieut.. Laubach
married Miss Kate Hague of this city.
In talking of,the way the government
was recruiting these men, the lieut.
enant said: 81 wired the secretary
of war about the many applications
had received while stationed in Dallas
from these little places out west and in
come to Ell PasO, and advertise Oh my
way out at the different places where
it was thought advisable to stop on the
return trip. This I did.
"We will stay here until tomorrow
at noon probably, then start on our re-
turn trip. The first stop we W ill make
will be at Pecos City, where 1 expect
to pick up q few. When we get a
squad we pick out the men who seem to
be the most reliable and send them
right on to the regiment that needs
them the most
The car given to Lieut.. Laubach is a
baggage car. AS soon as a man makes
his application he is taken in one end
of the car and the examining physician
examines him. If he comes up to the
required mark he is accepted and
sworn in right at once, then shipped on
to the place where he is wanted on the
next regular passenger train.
Accompanying Lieutenant Laubach
is Doctor Morrow of Dallas, Texas, who
has been appointed by the government
from the civil ranks to examine the re-
cruits taken in at the station, and as
the station is on the move at present
the doctor stays With it. A corporal is
also with the recruiting officer, to help
in the work.

Brown upon the arrival at his house

pressing upon him the necessity
of keeping quiet. Mr.. Brown
has thus far remained within
