That Filipino Congress.
From the Boston Transcript.

The Filipino congress was got together
appearance of constitutionality and popular
demand. Only small proportion of the
congress ever attended it's sessions, the
others disregarding Aguinaldos summons
Both Aguinaldo and his congress have had
to move very rapidly lately, adjournments
being taken Just in time to avoid capture
The congress may have become an encum-
brance, 5ustifying Aguinaldo in telling II
that its room was better than its company
Such congresses are to such men con-
veniences to register DEGREES. and are soon
disbanded when they aspire to become any
thing more. The Filipino congress was
representative of nothing more than the
faction of Aguinaldo.

But today we stand pledged to the world

RECEIPTS of ore at this point have
increased enormously during the last
twelve months. The mining activity
ia the vicinity of Ell Paso is unprece-
denied and most of the work is of a
sort that is both permanent and profit
able. There is little disposition to try
t create a boom on unstable fouuda-
tions. Actual development work ia
being done. Steady shipments attest
the real worth of the new mines. It is
also good to note the increasing incli-
nation of Ell Paso people to put their
money into developing mines in the
vicinity. Nothing will 30 quickly in
duce capitalists to come to this section
and invest heavily as a practical DEM
onstraticn of our own belief in our fu-
ture.

had gone out three months before.
The arrival of the first train load ct
negroes was the signal for q series OF
battles which have caused terrible loss
Of life and property and
have entailed very great expense on
the state. The governor has several
times taken things in his own hands
and has sent state troops to the scene
of the trouble. The people of the af-
fected communities appear to resent
the presence of the troops, preferring
to be let alone to kill the negroes by
wholesale without interference.
This is one of those problemE
which require far more than bar
ricades and bullets to settle them.
1t is a problem deep as the foundations
of the republic, and it's solution in
wolves construction of the declaration
of independence and the federal con-
stitution. But in it's practical work
ings the usual solution has gone in dir
ect opposition to these venerable docu'
ments. Truly it appears that we have
not yet advanced to a point where we
can consistently carry out the good re-
solutions our fathers wrote in their
blood at the dawn of the republic.

WHAT has become of the electric
light company which started out under
such promising auspices q few months
ago and from which SO much has been
expected? Surely lack of pro-
gress cannot be due to
any want of confidence in the
gentlemen in charge of the enterprise,
as they .are all recognized as among
our very best business heads. When
such men as J. P. Dieter, A. Krakauer.
A. Courchesne, E. Kohlberg. w.
s. McCutcheon, +. J. Taylor, and
Felix Martinez, who comprise the d.
rectory of the company, have charge OF
any undertaking there should be no
such word as fail If the people of Ell
Paso do their part. Now can it be
possible that our people. are going to
allow this enterprise to fail for the
lack of financial support without which
it cannot succeed? It is q lamentahle
fact that in all of Jul pub
lie enterprises the great bulk
of the work falls on a few, but this
should be very different, as those in
charge are men having large busin ess
interests of their own to attend to and
their supporters should seek them and
not await to be sought, as whatever in
vestment is made will without doubt be
profitable to the Subscribers
as we'll as putting US
in a position where our lighting facili-
ties will be a credit to US instead of as
at present a reproach. There are doubt
less a great many people who have not

are willing to do SO when called on,

The condition OF the sewers OF this
city as disclosed by the board of health
and related In last nights HERALD is
certainly disgraceful. It is almost in
credible hat a city of the size and inn
%portance of this should, for want of q
competent engineer inspector, permit
the health and lives of its citizens to
be ieopardized. 1t is q pleasure, how
ever, to be able to state that
the board of health seems to be fully
alive to the gravity of the affair and are
determined to force the city admins
tration to provide for more efficient
care of the sewers. The fall in the
main line sewers is SO small that the
pipes are not self flushing as they
should be. Means should be provided
for flushing the main lines regularly,
at lie asst once a week all the year round
and every day through the summer.
It has been suggested that great flush
tanks be provided, built on a plan
similar to those at the head of the
l~aterals. If this is impractlcable, the
fire engine should be used regularly
for this purpose. Az for the Second
street sewer, this is said to have
SO little fall as to be near
ly horizontal. Moreover, the Sec
tion of the city south of Second
street is without sewerage ia
c!lities. AS this section Is rapidly fill
ing up, it becomes necessary to provide
immedistely for extending the sewer
age system to that section. To
this end it is proposed that a greater
fall be given the Second street sewer
and that it's lower end be carried near
err the river and placed at lower level,
80 as to receive the drainage from the
lower portion of the city. The lower
end of the sewer, under these circum-
tances, would probably be below the
should be constructed with an efficient
pumping plant, which would force the
sewerage northward to a point
from which the fall would
be sufficient to cause q
steady flow from there to the outlet
of the main sewer. This Ia only one OF
the plans that have been suggested.
In view of the fact that the present ar
rangements appear to be inadequate.
there should be q full discussion of the
question before anything is done; and.
above all, a competent sanitary en-
gineer should be employed to spend
that twenty thousand dollars which
will be derived from the sale of bonds.
It is a matter hat concerns every citi-
zen, and now is the time to bring
strong pressure on b administration.
The HERALD invites communications
on this subject from the people.
