Ell PAso's commercial growth and

Ell PASO'S commercial growth and
supremacy are in the hands Of Ell Pa
so people, and there they should re-
main. But Ell Paso people should use
every possible effort to induce outside
capital to come in and take stock In
such growth and supremacy. Never
has any town in the country had
brighter outlook than is ours at this
moment. The town is getting adver-
tised more extensively than any 'other
in the country, and hardly business
mau in the city can open his mornings
mail without finding some inquiry
about the city to answer. Real estate
is rapidly changing hands, not at boom
prices but at good steady rates that
prove its staying quality. New
buildings are all the time going up
and the demand for rental property is
constant. Many new enterprises are
on foot that will mean increased pros
perity to our people, and everybody is
working hard at whatever promises
immediate profit to himself. If now
the business men could get together
and work more in harmony for the
good of the community, the result
would be, to use common. commercial
terms, to reduce the cost of produc-
ton, better the product, raise wages,
lessen the cost of distribution. lessen
administrative expenses, increase the
efficiency of labor, and increase the
general happiness and welfare OF the
community. It is not necessary to go
into detail to explain what this
means. Any one can figure out for
himself just where the community Is
suffering now by diffused effort and
lack of harmony, extreme competition
aud absence OF full understand
ing, misuse of credit and
faulty business methods, and where
everything would be changed If there
should be a sort of trust formed for the
common good, in which all petty diff
ferences and commercial ill feeling
might be stif1ed, measures and policies
for the good of all considered and put
into effect, and harmony of ends as
sured. During this summer, without
fail, some sort of popular Organiza-
ton ought to be formed. which should
be a great power for the advancement
and betterment of Ell Paso, and which
should grow in strength as the years
pass BY If the commercial club pro-
position is impracticsble, let us have a
city improvement association.

present time is in every way favorable
for those young men who want to adopt
the army as career. There
will be ample opportunity for young
men of good habits and intelligence to
rise quickly from the ranks, and com =
missions are waiting for all who can
pass satisfactory examip ations. There
is greater need for officers than caE

envy at present, and there is q fine open
ing for bright, sturdy young men in

patiops any man can enter.

Dewey Rebuked the Snobs.

Boston Advertiser.
The Oriental hotel in Manila has
long been the favorite abiding place of
the wives of army and navy officers STA
toned there. Naturally, they have
their little, all-important 'set." This
set does not include any women OF less
aristocratic position than theirs: any
whose money is the result of her own
honorable labors. There was one Of
the latter class Of women staying at
the Oriental hotel during the
months OF the war excitement,
Miss Thompson, who was
the correspondent of syndicate of
American newspapers. She was a
woman of ability. She did her work
of every one who knew her. She was
universally liked, except by the Of
ficers' wives, who could not conde-
scend to know her. Admiral Dewey
smiled, perhaps in an amused way at
first, then little grimly and irOnical-
ly, when it came to his ears that the
wives of his su bordinates had entered
into crushing social ring to ostracize
and persecute the newspaper woman.
pected visitor. Dewey sent up his
card. He paid long call. He and
Miss Thompson found much that was
interesting to talk about. In the en-
joyment OF their talk they were ap-
psrently .oblivious of the
fact that the rest OF
the Oriental hotel had gone
mad. The world had quite come to an
end in the teapot district, with its self
ideas of the fitness of things.
The admiral had called on a working
woman. They were made to appear in
the wrong. Dewey rubbed in the les
son he had given. He asked Miss
if he might lunch with her
the next day, and again the whole
Oriental hotel knew it and was afiame.
The woman who had been hnmiliated
by the pertiness of petty people was
by a great man. And no one
can doubt that behind the iron COM
with the eye of an eagle, the
brain of lightning and the will of steel.
there exists the very tender heart of a
gentleman of the old school.

IT is q significant fact that the gov

CROP CONDITIONS.
Rain in Plenty and Weeds in Full

The United States climate and crop

ture for the week ending July 4 has
been slightly below the normal. The
latter part of the week has been unsea-
sonably cool, but on the whole the tenn
perature conditions were favorable for
advancement Of crops. The rainfall
has been comparatively heavy over the
entire state, and especially heavy in
the northwestern counties, where cu1ti-
walton has been retarded to some ex-
tent. The week has been favorable for
the growth of corn, but the crop is gen
orally backward, and there is consider

er up were the Union Jack and stars
and stripes intermingled. Thousands
of white capped young men and maids
composed the choir on the big stage,
the front of which was occupied by the
officers and clergy. Promptly at 1880
the comparative silence was broken
by the swelling strains OF the
song God Goes Forth to War
followed by There Shall Be Showers OF
Blessings, Onward Christian Soldiers,
etc., in all of which the great crowd
enthusiastically joined. The welcome
of the local committee was extended Oy

Reed on Speakership.

Washington, July 6.-The prospec-
tive speaker of the house, David B.
Henderson, accompanied by Mrs. Hen
derson and daughter, arrived in Wash
ington yesterday from Chicago. One
fact brought out in conversation with

not heard word from Speaker Reed
since the contest for the speakership
began. Henderson said: when
first heard the announcement of Reeds
proposed retirement I wrote him and
received reply from his secretary,
saying I could go ahead with my can
vass as Reed was not a candidate.
Acting upon this information I went to
work at once" 'But since it was set
tied that you would be elected speaker
have you had any cablegram in that
connection from Reed?" mot line,''

CIVIL SERVICE KICK.
10 Chicago Citizens Protest Against
McKinley's Recent Order.

Chicago, July 6.-The Chronicle to-
day says: 'In letter addressed to
President Mckinley 10 prominent
Chicago citizens have signed solemn
pledge against his recent civil service
order. McKinley's record is compared
with those of Cleveland and
his other predecessors and he
is earnestly besought to rise
to the situation at once. The let
ter in part follows: While the good
of the public service may have re-
quired few exceptions from the class
flied positions, there can have been no
valid reason for the exemption of
some 10000 places from the operations
of tried and benefcent law. The re-
vision of the civil service rules at the
instance of friends of the reform would
be one thing and revision at that OF
it's enemies is another.
