but he belongs TO thetwrong crowd.
The item in another column regard
ing land matters and Special Agent
Gray, goes TO show how far pin
headed Official can sink in his desper-
ate efforts TO hold job. Gray, like
the predecessor Of Register Culkin,
actually believed that all homestead
ers were thieves, which belief was
probably strengthened with little
wanlpum distributed by contesting
timber and stone claimants who had
a contract with Minneapolis lumber
men. As fit pennance for his
action, Gray should be made TO hold
down a homestead entry for about
five years and then see if he would
report adversely on poor devils
claim. Culkin and Smith are doing
the right thing when they discount
euance such proceedings as character
lied this man, Gray. A homesteader
who Comes within eighty feet Of the
law is entitled TO his land and should
have bonus thrown in.
In speaking OF land matters, there
is not as much contesting going on as
there was two or three years ago. In
fact tie attitude OF the homesteaders
about Tower had much to do with
putting down the practice Of the land
sharks. The Mee-Cook- Morrison
scandal was a good thing for the
honesteaders.
There is a sucker born every
minute and none ever dies" How
true this old saying is. is hard to con-
lecture. Especially In Ely many
cases applicable to the above can be
cited. Marks Bros, after their run
Of two weeks and several hundred
plunks clear gain, made the remark
that Ely was the best fishing ground
for suckers it had been their pleasure
TO strike. Strange but only too true.
Friday evening the greatest fake
ever seen in the city held forth at the
Opera house and Of course reaped a
harvest. When we say it was the
most stupendous fake aggregation, it
is saying much as Ely mas been
blessed with some mammoth ones
heretofore. This was the rankest
jack-o-lantern humbug and Of course,
drew a full house. The next good
show that comes along will probably
go broke the people will again wait
until much advertising matter and
Autographs announce the greatest
humbug travelling, then We will al go.
Letters had been shown about all day
Friday telling what the company
amounted TO, but it was of no avail
P. T. Barnum, said the American
people loved to be humbugged. His
words are only too true.
Several weeks ago we offended one
of our subscribers and he promptly
his paper, in a letter
saying '1the sheet was no account any
way and that the only reason he took

insulted by the political items" We
feel sorry for hurting his feelings but

On this Occasion
We Remark.

We heard the remark made few
DAYS ago that if The constitution Was
to be amended so Is 10 transport one
lisiff our citizens TO Siberia or hades,
and if the proposition To amend was
u aced on tie ballot at a general cleo
tiun. the same would carry. Il is a
remarkable fact thai voters are
strangely unfamiliar with amend
nents TO be made and vote by guess
and bY God. by guess its right and by
ed its moi. The newspapers try TO
give the statutes OF the changes TO be
msde but the average man will pass
ND such reading matter and turn his
attention to the latest elopment case.
However the reading and educated
public are not the ones who make the
bulls on the amendment votes. 1t is
usually the class of voters who make
a cross. the Republicans In the first
xpsce following each blank line and
The Others in the second space. Others
again do not see the word Republican
or Democrat after the proposition and
do moi mark at all. Thus the votes
on some of the most vital questions
are lost or gained as the case may be
without showing the actual intent OF
ths voter as were the subject familiar.
Some may call us TO account for this
statement, but it is strangely true.
Two years ago after election many Of
our foreign citizens were very much
surprised when they found they had
unwittingly disfranchised themselves
and while it was good thing ii plain
~ shows that the remark made by the
gentleman above has considerable
truth therein.
At the last election, the amend
meat on the franchise OF women on
school matters showed 2, 800 for and
1903 against. Then on the vote TO
require majority OF the voters pres
ent to adopt constitutional amend
nent show 1857 for and l2,74S
against, The home rule amendment
for citities carries by 26, 945 to l2,S09,
and the road commission proposition
has 81 800 to 1921. As to the last
there is a question. The supreme
court has held that majority Of the
votes cast for each proposition deter
mined its fate, and by the amend
ment just adopted it willstake ma
jority Of the total vote. But as TO
the road commission the legislature
intended that it should require
majority of the total vote. 1t did not
get it. On the other hand it is doubt
full if such provision was valid so
long as the constitution TO this time
in force has been interpreted sother-
wise

The wool commission men OF San
Angelo have received and stored up to
the 18th /, 200, 600 pounds OF fall wool.
It is expected that 500. 900 pounds more
will b. marketed there.
Over 5000 bales and bags of wool
were recently sold in Boston. The
amount realized was over half mill
lion dollars, and the prices paid were
said to be beyond expectation. The
greater part of these con signments
were taken by manufacturers. and the
sale was the largest ever made In New
Euglsnd.

FRANCHISES GIVEN AWAY.

THE HERALD's proposition that the
ordinance for the new electric railroad
be so framed that the city should re-
ceiye some return for the franchise
has, as was hoped and expected, Great
cd nsiderable discussion among citi-
xsus. In order that the HERALD may
not be misunderstood, let US say at the
ve-y beginning that the suggestion was
pu. forth in order to precipitste just
ouch a discussion as has In fact result
ed. la matter of such vital sim
portauce as this, discussion cannot be
too full or too open.
The HERALD Is not sworn enemy
of corporations, and In fact We are
often Inclined to take the side OF cor
poratious when IL seems to US that In
the shadow of some public wrong Gil
the good points they possess are lost
sight Of Corporations are not neces-
sarlly public enemies, and the party or
individual that seeks to decry them In
general terms simply demonstrates bis
own shallowness and nsrrowness OF
view.
But, while recognizing all the good
points that combinations Of capital do
certainly possess, and the great power
for good that they may be in any COM
munity, At the same time we are not
blind to the gross abuses aud the ruth
less disregard of the rights of Others
that too often characterize the deal
ipgs of powerful corporations with
those upon whom they feed.
Now since we are able to take this
moderate view of the great question oi
monopolies, we have reached couclu'
sions with regard to municipal control
OF the public utilities" such as gas
water, and electric light and power
companies, and street railways, tina
do not seem TO us to be either
reactionary or too far In advance o.
the age.
To state our position in the briefes
form, We believe that the modern
municipality, being a business corpo
ration, organized for mutual bened
but not for profit, should not give ava.
any OF its assets, its stock in trade,-il
nne, its vested franchise rights
without demanding from the lessee s
sufficient compensation TO pay a fai
return on the investment OF these as
sets, which are held In trust for tn
whole people.

tion OF striking paper read by Mayo

we'll. The city's share should indeed
depend on the ability OF the company
to pay, and not on any time limit.
After all, we do not see that any OF
these men have touched upon the
maiu part of our suggestion--that an
effort be made to secure such an ar
raneement. II it turns out to be real
" impossible, then no harm will nave
been done. AS we said above, we
propose to do only what any COM
petent business man would do 10 his
own business 1t is common sense.
El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1898-10-27

Ia case some intending investor sees
this, let us say, that the position we
have taken is not due to any feeling
against corporations. Far from it. We
sympathize with the corporations in
their effort to get all they can In every
way they can. That is human nature.
After the question is settled, we shall
not take sides either for or against the
successful party. But until it Is settled
we feel that it is our duty to try to fur
tb er the city's interests as far as pos
aible

rules OF the Association, that no officer

butter scoring one point lower, 91l2;
but Mr.. Jaynes received $500. the pre-
