The Dodge VIII Not Work.

Protection Is a Republican policy.
The Democrats have formed the habit
of denouncing it, and they think they
must keep it up, with or without rea-
son and sense. And so, with the splen-
did record of protection staring them
in the face, and being unable to point
to a single fact that is not to its credit,
they wildly re-echo Havemeyer's flip
pant utterance with some such scheme
as this in their heads: The people like
the protective tariff; let us try to
make them hate it by circulating the
absurd lie that it is the mother Of
trusts"
The hypocrisy of all this is quite as
comical as it is revolving. 1t shows
what a poverty-stricken old concern
the Democratic party is. Free silver is
dead. Flag hauling as an issue is worse
than no issue at all. Fantastic yarns
about trusts and the tariff are the only
remaining resort. The Democracy
grabs at this grotesque banner and
fourishes it frantically, hoping to rat
tie voters and muddle their thinking
apparatus. But the dodge will not
work. 1t is a confession of weakness
and proclamation of stupidity. The
people see through the game and will
coldly keep out of it. preferring to re-
tain their prosperity. their open work
shops. their 1O0-cent dollars. their ster-
ling Americanism, and their respect for
the flag OF their country.-Freepor

For the first time in her annals, Porto
Rico has enjoyed the excitement of
municipal election, and has experienced
the unwonted legal procedure of trial
by Jury. Eleven natives, with one
Yankee to act as foreman, composed
the jury, and the result of their delib-
erations is said to have been eminently
satisfactory to every one except the
culprit. The election, although prom
tsing as first attempt, was marked by
innocent. but somewhat embarrassing
innovations. The supervisors became
hungry at noontime, and adjourned for
dinner, taking the ballot boxes with
them. This rendered the appointing
of another election necessary to fore
stall possible complaints of lllegality,

ods are making headway in Porto R!co.

ON A SWAYIN6 PLATFORM
With the Santa Fe Train Thunderlng
On To FL paso at Thirty
Miles an Hour, We're Mr.. Wood
mansee and Mrs. Hogan Mar
rled.

r1eO.
A romantic marriage relieved the
N onotoDy of dusty travel for the pas
sengers on the Santa Fe incoming pas
senger which reached here yesterday
morning. Among the through pas
sengers in the Pullman from Kansas
City was q charming woman whose
name was Mrs. s. E. Hogan.
To her observing fellow tourists she
seemed rather anxious and ill at ease,
her evident embarrassment increasing
as the train neared Las Vegas. When
that city was reached, two gentlemen
boarded the train, and in her cordial
greeting to one of them, all Mrs. Ho-
gan 3 anxiety was lost in q joyous well
come. This gentleman was Mr.. II. P.
Woodmansee, of Las Vegas. and his
companion was the Rev. Harris, q min
lister of the same city.
Without delay and as though by pre-
arrangement, the party slipped out on
the platform, and. as the train gained
Roadway at thirty miles an hour, the
couple were married, with the wonder
ing passengers and Pullman officials as
witnesses. The ceremony concluded,
the minister gracefully swung from the
train as it slowed down for a
moment and the happily
and quickly-married couple continued
on to Ell Paso.
1t is said that Mr. and Mrs. Wood
mansee will make this city their home
hereafter. Mr.. Woodmapsee and Mrs.
Hogan were old friends but had not
seen each other for two years.

THE BARTENDER's STATEMENT.

THE BARTENDER 5 STATEMENT.
The statement of Jesse P. Gautt, the
bartender, is substantially the same as
that of Corbitt with the exception that
his back was turned when

ever, that just previous to the
discharge of the pistol and before the
men came to the bar they bad been
scuffiing in the center of the floor, but
it appeared to him to be of q friendly
nature, and no loud words were heard.
Bob Cole, one of the proprietors OF
the saloon, who was present at the time
of the shooting, could not be found.
Herbert Beckwith, workman on the
new Gemoetz building next'to the Times
office, said he stepped into the saloon
about IL O'Clock and all three
of the men were scuffiing in the center
Of the room and Bob Cole was careless
~ clicking q six-shooter which he held
in his hand. He told Cole to put the
gun away, but be laughed and
said it was not loaded. He after
ward gave the six-shooter to the
bartender and told him to put il be-
hind the bar which he did. He then
told the bsrkeeper to hurry and give
him his drink, as he did not want to be
shot, and after taking his drink walk
ed out of the saloon and was not pre-
sent when the gun went off.
COURSE OF THE BULLET
DIR. l. j. Bush, who attended the
man after he was shot, said that he had
bled to death. The ball entered the
chin about one inch below the angle
of the mouth, ranged through, missed
the neck, and severed the right id
ternal carotid, and emerged about an
inch aud half below the back of the
right ear.
All of the lower part of McMurray's
face and that part of the chin where
the bullet entered, are powder burned,
showing that the gun must have been
very close to McMurray, when dis

Witnesses-Whdt the Witnesses
Testified To At the Inquest.

Will McMurray. young cowboy, for
number of years in the employ OF j.
81. Nations & Co., and fsvorably known
in Ell Paso, met his death in the Legal
Tender saloon this morning about IL
O'Clock, through, it IS believed, the &C.
cidental discharge OF a pistol.
The facts in the case show that Nc
Murray was Intoxicated at the time of
the shooting and the several witnesses
who testified did not appear to be ex-
actly clear in their own minds, as to
just. at did happen.
WITNESSES WHO WERE PRESENT.
The only persons in the saloon at the
time were Bob Cole, the night bar
tender, Thomas F. Corpitt, young
McMnrray, and Jesse P. Gautt, who
was attending to the bar.
Corbitt, who was lifelong friend of
McMurray and had slept with him the
night before, said that about eleven
o'clock he and McMurray went into
the saloon to have drink. There
they met Bob Cole, who
there had a number of drinks to-
gether and just prior to the shooting
were all standing at the bar. Corbitt
said they ordered drinks, but he had
no money, so he pushed his six shooter
over the bar in payment.
DIED IN HIS COMRADES ARMS.
Another round was called for and in
payment McMurray proffered his gun.
But shortly after he placed 1t on the
bar, he started to take it up again and
as he did, it slipped to the floor and
was discharged. He saw McMurray
throw his hands up to his face and
stagger toward the slot machine.
When he ueared this he fell to the
floor and Corbitt Immediately went

SECRETARY mexican RESIGNS.
Sewers His Relations With Business
Mems Association,

The office of secretary of the Business
Mems Association was vacated Yesterday
by w. S. Mexican, who has held the office
since the organization of the association
largely through his efforts, in November
last.
Mr.. Mexican says he resigned his office
after motion to vacate the secretarvship
had been made at an adjourned meeting
of the board Of directors of the association
held Thursday night last. at which but five
members of the board were present out of
membership of twenty-five. He says
that this motion to vacate the office was
made by member of the association pres
ent who was not member Of the board
of directors, which motion was entertained
by the chairman. in face of the point of
order raised by Mr. Mexican that the
mover was not a member of the board.
The motion was supplemented with the
statement that there were no charges to
make against the secretary and that there
was no personal feeling in the matter. AT
Mr.. McKean's suggestion this motion was
withdrawn, and he rendered his resigna-
ton. which was Immediately accepted by
the vote of four of the five directors pres
ent, to take effect at some future time,
when larger meeting was held.
Mr.. Mexican says he will demand an in
vestigation of the whole subject and mat
tiers leading up to this action, by less than
quorum Of the directors, which forced
him to tender his resignation. Unless the
mistake is rectified at the next meeting
Of the board, which. he believes will be
done, he will probably, he says go before
the association at Its meeting in October
and make a statement and demand a full
investigation. He insists that he has been
unfairly treated, and he expresses regret
that the chairman of the board of direct
ors allowed others than directors of the
board to participate irregularly in the pro-
ceedtngS,

Running Mate With Bryan.
WILL BE OFFERED TO REMEY
In Case SchIey Declines the South At
lnntic Station.

AT the Navy Department it is stated that
no order has yet been issued to Admiral
Schley to command the South Atlantic
squadron, but he had been advised to hold
himself in readiness to perform that duty
1t was expected, 1t was said, that If the
assignment was distasteful to him, or he
regarded it as beneath his dignity, he would
inform the department of that fact, and it
was not at all likely that he would be
forced to accept.
1t is said that in the possible event that
Admiral Schley should decline the assign
ment to the South Atlantic station it will be
offered to Admiral Remey, commandant of
the Portsmouth navy yard. who is senior
to Admiral Schley, and who. according to
the new policy established by the depart
ment. is entitled to the first vacancy.
When the selection of a successor to Ad-
miral Sampson in command of the North
Atlantic squadron was under considera ton
1t was officially announced at the Navy
Department that the order of precedence
in flag commands was Remey, Farquhar
and Schley, and that the assignments to
vacancies would be made in that order
Something occurred, however to change
the arrangement and Farquhar was given
the North Atlantic and Schley the South
Atlantic.
1t is said that Remey was willing to take
the North Atlantic station, but if he could
not get that he preferred to retain his pres
eEt command at Portsmouth.
1t is explained that this is the way that
Admiral Schley came to be given the sec
ond sea command to become vacant instead
of having to wait for the third vacancy
under the policy recently laid down by the
Navy Department of combining such COM
mandS to the nine admiralS of the first
class entitled to sea duty.
