from rocks and brickbats. All litter
should be removed from the streets
every morning before they are spr1nk-
led, and then the much Travelled streets
should be kept thoroughly sprinkled
all day and never allowed to become
dusty. Every street in town should be
sprinkled at gleast once day, most
of them twice. The councilmen talk
of the expense of sprinklers and dr1v-
ers. That is nothing to the expense OF
building streets and repairing them.
Constant sprinklipg is the very best
way to keep the streets in good condi-
ton, and indeed with the natural &C.
ment of which our streets are compos-
ed there is no reason why they cannot
be kept graded and as smooth as the
Chicago boulevards. We have every
thing In favor of good streets except
the city administration and the social
ed "street commissioner" 1t is time
the people were demanding the dis
charge of Ed. Wales and the appoint
ment of q man who knows something
apout.his business and attends to 1t now
and then. The HERALD says, "Give
us a new street commissioner and give
him to us quick" Who says amen?

1T will be well Tor every CltlZeu u
read the ordinance passed Thursdal
night granting a franchise TO the pres
emit street railway companies to con
struct an electric line over their pres
emit route. 1t will be seen that the
ordinance grants six months option.
after which the grant may lapse it q
bond be not executed to guarantee the
beginning of work on the electric line
within twelve months OF the date OF
this ordinance. A further six months
are granted in which to have the line
completed, making eighteen months in
all between the date of the ordinance
and the projected completion OF the
line, if the offer of the company is
made in good faith. If the offer is not
made in good faith and If collectible
bond be not given, the grant mean g
that it will be a year and half before
the field can again be considered open.
Ofcourse there is no exclusive franchise
under the law, but practically fran
chise granted over certain streets is
exclusive. Assuming that the offer of
the present companies is made in good
faith and that they actually intend to
build the electric line. still it must be
said that the city council has not played
fair with the citizens Of Ell Paso, in the
matter. of requiring cash forfeit. A
cash forfeit was very properly required
of the citizens new electric
light company, and the company's re-
preventative had the certified check in
his hand ready to present to the coun-
Gil when he was informed that no for
felt would be required. Why? Be-
cause the council wanted q chance to
grant franchise to the present COM
psnies for an electric railway without
requiring any guarantee. A week ago
the council was almost unit in de-
claring that no more franchises should
be granted to anybody in trust and
that a cash forfeit should be required
in every case. This week they give
evidence of having been again brought
under the motherly control of the ''old
man" and they sweetly bow their
more. Thus the councilmen receded q
long ways from the stand they had tax
en-, and the city is that much worse off.
If we, the people, the real owners,
hold franchises cheap, how can we ex-
pect those to whom we lend them to
value them except as public warrants
for public plumber? If the city coun-
Gil forgets it's duty to the people, the
owners of the franchises, how can we
ask those to whom the franchises are
lent to respect their duty to the people.
the owners of the franchises? Would
not parcel of school boys cost less
than 1.-THE present council and do as
we'll?

THE movement for cleaner streets i:
gaining strength in many parts OF the
country, but nowhere are the effects o.
the agitation more clearly seen thar
in the state of Texas. This city is far
behind most of the other cities and
towns of the state in devising some
means for enlisting popular coopera-
ton in the attempt to clean up the city
and keep it clean. Laws are good, but
they will never be enforced unless they
are sustained by healthy public SEN
timent and the officers sworn to en-
force them are given substantial en-
couragement by the citizens. 1t does
not answer to pass an ordinance pre-
scribing atty for throwing refuse
in the street, appoint an official to en-
force the ordinance, and then
forget all about it. Every citi-
zen is, under the common
law, a policeman, and every citizen ia
responsible If the streets are Uttered
up. Every man or woman who throws
paper, garbage, or refuse of any sort
in the street violates the law. and is
liable to fine. But because there is no
paid policemen on the spot to enforce
the ordinance. that is no reason why
any citizen should feel himself justified
in breaking the law. The best maxim
is. "Abide strictly by the law yourself,
and let the police attend to the others. F"
If every citizen would think of this
maxim when he throws glass, wire,
paper, rubbish, or even dirty water in
the streets or cutters, and reconsider
his action, there would be no problem
of q "Cleaner Ell PasO."

NO DIVISION OF SENTIMENT.

Since the submission of the constit,,-
tional amendment by the Legislature
we have employed every opportunity
to ascertain the sentiment of the peo-
pie as to its reception. From all Sec
tons comes the report that the people
understand its intent and purpose,
that the Democrats are united in its
support, that thousands of Populsts
and hundreds of Republicans will vote
for it as the only means of securing
White Supremacy, and that it will be
ratified by large majority.
We have not heard of a Democrat
who is opposed to it or one of any
ability or following who doubts it's
constitutionality. 1t will be ratified
by the peoplesand will be sustained by
the courts.

DR.. WHITSETT'S RETIREMENT.

There will be great satisfaction III
the Southern Baptist Church over the
happy settlement of the long contro-
yersv over DR.. Whitsett, president OF
the Southern Baptist Theological Sem
mary. In some paper or document
he made a statement that was in con-
tradiction to the teachings of his
church. 1t created great indignation
and the demand for his resignation
became so strong that the Seminary
was threatened if he continued at its
head. Happily the matter has been
settled by the unanimous election of
a president who was acceptable to the
church.
The mistake made by DR.. Whitsett
was in seeking to remain at the head
of the Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary when he had written an ar
ticle which the church thought struck
at the foundation of the creed and
practice of the church. When he
reached the conclusion that gave Of
Tense, and certainly made his teaching
antagonistic to that of his church, the
proper thing to have done was to re-
tire from the position of theological
leader. A man who teaches theology
in the theological institution of any
church must teach what the authori-
ties hold is the correct Interpretation
of the Bible. When he cannot do that
he ought to give place to a man whost.
doctrine is in every way in keeping
with the views of the church.
There is no requirement that any
honest man shall surrender his con-
victions. 1t is merely a demand that
he shall not teach the young men pre-
pairing to preach what the churcli be-
lieves is error. 1t is not a question Of
the infallibility of the church. 1t is Il
question of the right of the churcl, to
teach in its seminaries what it pro-
fesses. If it keeps as a teacher one
whose writings contradict the accept
ed tenets of the church it is, in IA
sense, representing its belief.

THE CHANGE OF Or. BRIGGS.

Bishop Potter has ordained DR..
Charles A. Briggs to the priesthood IN
the Protestant Episcopal Church.
This is a free country. Any man
has a right to believe whatever he
pleases and to preach it it he can gel
"a pulpit. But no man has a right to
take Presbyterian pulpit and preach
doctrine not approved by the authori-
ties of the church, and DIR. Charles A.
Briggs does well to join church
where he can preach what he believes
without violating his ordination vows.
The mistake he made was in trying.
to remain in the Presbyterian Church
and teach doctrines not accepted by
its creed.
We took no stock in the plant of
DR.. Briggs. that he was prosecuted.
He was treated remarkably well. The
Presbyterian Church did not say that
DIR. Briggs was not a Christian. 1t
simply said to him: ''We hold to GER
tain standards. If you cannot believe
in them, you cannot teach In our
schools or preach in our pulpits as an
expounder of the Gospel as interpreted
by the Presbyterians." That was all
they said. They could not have said
less. No man ought to insist on stay
ing in church or a party and de-
handing to lead it or speak for it un.
less he is willing to bow to it's creed OF
platform. When he reaches the poin,
that he cannot conscientiously eN.
pound them according to the creed OF
platform or Interpretation, his place
is out side that party or church.
DIR. Briggs is very able and up
right man and in church whose
tenets agree with his convictions he
will doubtless accomplish his best
work.

THE INEVITABLE SOLUTION.

~ "a
Charleston News and Courier.
The Hon. John Temple Graves, who
has been lecturing in the North and
West on the subject of the negro prob
lem''in this country, has contributed Il
strong article to the Atlanta Constitll-
ton, in which he says that the separation
of the two races is 1.-The logical, the
inevitable, the ''only solution of this
problem and adds:
1.-THE politicians and the apathy behind
them may postpone the solution for Il
while longer, but sooner or later the
wisdom Of the fathers and the purpose
of the Almighty will prevail.
THE negro fronts hopeless and une-
quail competition. His destiny is set
down in competition with the destiny of
the dominant and all conquering race OF
history.
THE last best hope of the negro is
separation.
The last best hope of the white man
for purity and justice and law and civil
lization and for material development is
in separation from the race which tempts
him to violate them all.
ut is high time for both races to real
iZe this stern, memorable fact, and sci
themselves peaceably and humanely t
