A lord there Is of the house out there, Who rules OCT all, where lives the fair, Her father 'tis; a goodly man,
 With more or less of an iron hand. Her father, now, was joyous, too, As room to room he wandered through, He found them gaily decked in green, A home-like, happy Christmas scene. He rubbed his hands in great content, And unused OCT the year just spent But what was this in the hall he spied, High up, unto the chand'lier tied? A smile upon his lips there sprung; Papa had once himself been young, He, too, in youth had cause to know That fatal charm of mistletoe.
 He vowed to block this game of love, So meath the mistletoe bough above He rolled at once monstrous palm, That plant of the long and priclly arm. The girl-tbe man-papa away.
 Yet held by the palm. the two at bay The story ends with sad tableau- This tale of the mocking mistlatna.

THE death of one of the two or three
richest men in America did rot create
any disturba in financial circles.
This is one result of the high develop

wherein the Importance of the indivi-

illus Vanderbilt has not been actively
engaged in business for some two years
and his great financial interests have
been during that time administered by
others. Vanderbilt gave half million

praised it will not amount to anything
like the one hundred million dollars
that has been commonly assigned to
the head of the Vanderbilt house.

THERE is at the present time, &C
cording to the New York Financial
Record, an actual scarcity of copper in
this country. Notwithstanding the
fact that the production of copper in
the United States this year will be far
above quarter of q million tons, the
miners can not produce the metal fast
enough to fill orders, and
many manufacturing concerns are
seriously crippled because of their in
ability to secure raw material. Some
thing of the same condition exists in
the iron and steel trade. Work on
most of the battle ships and CONNER
cial vessels under construction is de-
layed, at enormous loss, because of the
lack Of raw material. The industrial
conditions of today are Unprecedented,
and we see the republican platform be-
ing fulfilled in every detail.

TALK of q fine new hotel for Ell Paso
persists, aud despite denials it is be-
lieved that the desire of our people is
likely to be realized. At the present
time no other thing could mean so
much for Ell Paso's welfare in bust
ness way as would the
establishment here of new first
class modern hotel, which would be
credit to the city in every way, and
an attraction to visitors. The railroads
are doing good deal of advertising
for Ell Paso in various ways and there
is desire on the part of most overland
travellers to stop off here for few
days. We should be able to
give all such people accommodations
that would cause them to speak
of Ell Paso's hospitality in
the highest terms. There is
no intention on the part of any body to
reflect upon the hotels at present ex-
listing here. But the fact is that Ell
Paso has grown far beyond its accom-
mod tions in this respect and there is
room here for another hotel, conducted
on broader scale than has been
found necessary heretofore.

THE project for business mems
club seems to have been definitely
abandoned by those into whose hands
was given it's promotion by the mass
meeting of business men held at the
court house some months ago. It seems
unlikely that any club of this nature,
or board of trade. can be organized and
successfully carried on in this city at
the present time, but that may indi-
cate merely that the movement is pro-
jected along the wrong lines. The
HERALD believes that the time
is ripe for the formation
of city improvement association,
which will be open to both sexes, and,
through committee organization, will
have to do with all things pertaining
to the betterment of this city, mate
rial and moral. Such an association
would naturally attract to itself the
majority of the people who have the
true welfare of the city at heart, and
no fragrant abuse could long
Withstand the attacks of
organized decency. 1t would
be we'll, however, to touch
upon political matters very lightly at
first and devote the time of the asso-
CITATION to increasing the mutual inter-
est of our people in one another's
welfare and the interest of all citi-
zens in the public good. The HERALD
would be glad to receive communica-
tions on this subject in order to dis
cover the sense of the people.

ONE effect of the Spanish war is the
increased interest in the volunteer
guard of this country. During this
period of reorganization q scheme
should be devised for assuring some
unity among the organizations of the
different states. There should at least
be uniformity in regimental and state
organization and in equipment. With
these two points provided for, the state
militia would be a reserve force of
disciplined men, which would serve as
an effective nucleus for a great volun-
teer amy in time of national peril,

clusively that if it is advisable to
build railroad at all, in a certain To-
cality, it is worth while to build it in
the most solid and permanent fashion,
since the deterioration on inferior con-
struction constitutes steady and
enormous loss, which brings no return.
But while the cost of construction has
been increasing. the cost of operation
has been decreasing. For example,
with a we'll constructed roadbed heav-
Ter trains can be run aud schedules
quickened, thus saving time aud labor.
In many ways it has been discovered
that the best Is the cheapest.

A Misleading Phrase
Washington Post.

washington Post.
President Schurman of the Philip
pines commission is quoted as having
remarked to q correspondent chat for
reasons OF commerce and because of
opportunities of investment the Phil
ippines should remain as they area
part of the United States" The Phil
ippines are not, and probably never
will be. "a part of the United States. -
They are no more "a part of the
United States" than India is
a part of Great Britain, or Madagascar
a part of the French republic. The
fact of their transfer to our sovereign
ty does not bring them into any such
relation to our country as the phrase
attributed to Mr.. Schurman implies.
tourist entering the Philippines
does not enter the United States. Not
one OF our insular acquisitions sustains
that relation. Nor is it necessary for
commercial or other purposes that the
Philippines should be treated
as part of our country.
Congress has ample power to
Rico, Guam and Hawaii; it can provide
for each OF them such government as
it deems best. 1t may find that each
of them needs a government differing
in some respects from any of the 9TH
ers, but we feel entirely confident that
congress will not regard them as ter
ritories like Oklahoma, Arizona and
New Mextco-embryo states growing
up to full stature, and destined to en-
ter the family of states. It is i'm
portant to keep up the distinction be-
tween our insular possessions and
those states and territories
which constitute the United
States. Probably no American citizen
believes the time will ever come when
the Filipinos will take part in making
our laws and electing our presidents, j
We hope the time is not far off when,
having submitted to our lawful author
ity. they will be able to take a promt-
nent part in governing themselves.

QUAY'S CHANCES

No Gain on the TWenty-Flrst
Ballot.
Hurt by the PostpOnement OF the
McGarrell Jury Bill.
His Opponents Predict an Early
Break i'm the Deadlock at
Harrisburg.

Harrisburg. Pa. Feb 19.-The twenty
first joint ballot for United States Senator
was taken today The vote showed no i'm
portant variations. 1t was as follows:
Quay, TS: jerks. 50; Dalzell, Is; Irwin,
4; Stewart, 5; Tubbs, /; Huff, 5; Stone, S;
Rice, l. Grow, /; Marlle, 1; Widener, 2;
Ritter. 2.
The total vote cast was 179, the number
necessary to choice being 80.
The most damaging thing that could have
happened at this stage OF the game to dis
hearten and demoralize the forces of Sen
ator Quay in his fight for reelection was
the postponement of the McCarrell jury
bill by the house until March 81. This
was accomplished so suddenly and unex-
pectedly last night that the Quay men are
in quandary as to their next move. They
feel that something spectacular must be
brought about TO counteract the eifect OF
the McCarrell bill setback, but having
marshaled all their forces for the supreme
effort on the bill they are now not in sood
shape to accept anything startling at this
time
The anti-Quay men. including the Re-
publican insurgents and Democrats op2os-
ed to Quay, are jubilant over what they
TSBdTu 6S great SOup III TIC po7tpo1S
ment of the McCarrell bill. The only en-
couragement for the Quay men is the lack
of harmony among the Democratic leaders
who are manifestly jealous of each other.
The postponement of the McCarrell bill
unt- March u was for the purpose of pre-
venting its enactment into law before
Senator Quay's trial and the vote on post
ponement was SO close as TO indicate Sana-
tor Quays real strength among the Demo-
Gratis on the straight Senatorial issue.
Anti-Quay leaders say this morning that
the vote is conclusive proof OF the fact that
there is no hope for the reelection of
Senator Quay and they now predict an
early break of the deadlock. 1t is not
expected, however, that anything impor-
tant will develop before next week.
