NEW YORK and Chicago are talking
of abolishing street cars altogether
Not only that, but the New York
Evening Post, one of the most conserv-
alive papers in the country, thinks
the time is not far off when horses will
be relegated to the country towns, and
all city transportation will be carried
on in horseless vehicles. The horse
less vehicle Is already becoming COM
mon in the large cities. In New York
some stores use them altogether for
their deliveries, and there are regular
omnibus lines of automobiles. With
all this, large, and we regret to say
influential, section of Ell Paso citizens
are in favor of retaining the present
system of little Spanish mules and her.

Need For a Constitutional ConVen-
ton.

ton.
A Paris, Texas, letter to the Dallas
News says: Col. E. L. Dononey, who
was member of the convention OF
1875, which framed the present cOnst1-
tuition, was asked his opinion today as
to the advisability of another conven-
ton to frame q new constitution, and
replied:
body of men, and the most representa-
tive.body that ever assembled in Texas.
Every profession and every avOcation
was represented on the floor of that
convention. But this very fact, lead
ing to seeming conflict of interests,
together with the peculiar environ
ment of the times prevented the con-
vention from making q constitution
which was entirely satisfactory even
tn Ter, and of course it is less 80 now.
"Take, for instance, the judicial ar
ticle. The lawyers themselves could
not agree upon system. The unsatis-
factory article adopted was made by a.
each distinct section, in the midst of in
tense excitement during the last days
of the convention. And all efforts
since made to amend it have only made
it more cum bersOme. expensive and un
satisfactory.
1.-THE following are few OF the lead
ing reasons for q new constitution:
81. Our state government, although
republican in form, falls far short of q
real democracy. We all claim to stand
on the declaration of independence,
and maintain that all just government
must exist with the consent of the gov
erned. A. d yet, for quarter of q
century q large minority of voters of
Texas t. have had no voice what
ever in the government,
legislative, executive or judicial.
The aggregate vote of the
minority parties Is not less than 300,-
OOO-say IT'S, 600 populists, 100, 900 re-
publicans and $4,000 gold democrats.
The vote of the organized democrats
does not exceed this aggregate. and
yet this one-half of the voters elect all
the members of congress but one, and
all the legislature but seven or eight
mem bers, and holds all other state of
fees and agencies. This is unjust, in
furious and. in open violation OF the
fundamental principles of free govern
ment. All the people should have a
voice in making and hand in ad-
ministering the laws. Any one politi-
cal party is mentally as
capable and morally as
good as all other political
parties. In all parties there are good

fuse to limit debate. they like to make
long winded speeches on irrelevant
matters, and senatorial courtesy pre-
vents any interruption. The army bill
will be scored roundly when it shows
it's face there, and whether vote can
be reached before the expiration of the
present congress Is q question.

THIS has been another case where
the citizens of Ell Paso have been able
to get together on some subject. But
is it not quite characteristic that while
the citizens were unit they were fight

MAYOR MAGOFFIN prides himself
upon what he has done for the city,
both personally and officially. Did he
ever do anything he was not forced to
do, by circumstances, or by pressure
of other sorts? Some people call him
conservative. Fortified ia the word.

him backward to the ground. Barton's head
struck rock and he was rendered uncon-
scious., When Mrs. Barton heard the shot she
hurried 70 her husbands assistance The shot
