Against Monopolics.

One of the arguments used for the pas
sage of the Huntington bill is .hlt it is q
local measure and Galveston wants ;ue

is influenced by such rot would
be OF far more service to his
country jerking bell-cord ots' l buY;)' $
back. Not only the State OF Texas is in
,terested in this matter, but the entire
Northwest is looking to Galveston for an
outlet for her grain, and to grant the
Southern Pacific road a MONOPOLY of the
wharf frontage at that city is equivalent
TO denying any other road an equal show
ing with that line. The democrat, plat
form demanded reformation of trusts and
not the creating of others.

is taking active measures to protect
that country from the epidemic. A
rigid quarantine is enforced against
the infected districts. At Coorto the

complete success and not single death

Foreigners have been generally vac

plague will not spread further.
It was in 1894 that the
Pasteur serum was discovered by two
Investigators at the Paris Institute.
However it was not until late in 1896. af-
ter many setbacks and much opposition
on the part of the natives in the orient,
that the discoverer was able to app
ly his remedy under the desired condi-

ed and the success was COM
plete. In one day the symptoms of the
plague disappeared and two days later
the patient was discharged as cured.
The subsequent success of the treat

WHY do not the women of the feder-
ated clubs endeavor TO secure the cree
tion of a general community house
which shall contain ample room for the
public library OF the future, an as
sembly hall, and club rooms for both
men and women? Public support
would no doubt be ten times as sponta-
neous as for the present project. The
average woman does not care whether
club women have club house or not.
The average man is certainly indiffer-
emit to q greater degree. 1t is certain
that interest in the library is many fold
greater than interest in the women's
clu BIS, and the public would take hold
more quickly of a project such as that
suggested than they will of the club
house idea. If the public library is
allowed to take precedence, ample pro-
vision can still be made for women's
club rooms.

OUR SPECIAL 1000" EDITION.

Active work has been begun on the

bsen so fortunate as to secure for this
special work tie services OF j. K.

and whose ability is an added earnest
of success.
Mr.. Soutbworth some years ago as
sisted the HERALD in getting up
special edition which was universally
praised and is even now remembered
by the business men of Ell Paso as the
best souvenir edition of any newspaper
ever published in Ell Paso.
Mr.. .Southworth has been employ ed
or several years in special work for the
Mexican government, and the result is
of his work are to be seen in the three
m agnifcent illustrated books on Some
ra. Sinaloa. and Lower California res
pectively.
The HERALD intends to surpass all
previous efforts with it's 1900" edi-
ton. The special number will be pub
lish ed about January l. 1900. 1t will
be magnifcently illustrated, twenty
four to thirty six page paper of the
size of the HERALD. The pictures will
be reproduced by the best modern pro-
cesses from photographs, drawings,
and per, and ink sketches. The pho
tographs will ali be taken especially
for this great work by Bushong and
Feldmsn, the skilled artists, while the
drawingsssnd sketches will be made by
the HERALD'S special staff artist,
Johh McNaughton, whose fine work is
we'll known to Ell Pasoans.
The 1890" edition will be radically
different. from the private advertising
sheets that too often masquerade under
misleading names. No expense will be
spared to make this souvenir edition

The. HERALD being the only agency
in the city of Ell Paso capable, by rea-
son of it's superior facilities and well
deserved supremacy, of undertaking
this great and much needed work and
carrying it to q successful conclu sion,
this paper will assume the responsible
