AFTER MANY YEARS.
Congressman CLIPS Experience Proves the
Truth of an Old Adage.

Congressman CLIPS Experience Proves the
Truth of an Old Adage.
Washington Post.
There is an old proverb which says
that all things come to him who waits.
Congressman Gill, of Ohio, who sue
ceeds the late Lorenzo Danford, is a
living example of its truth.
Mr.. Gill is the largest manufacturer
of lamp chimneys in the world, but this
has nothing to do with the story. Away
back in 1872, when Danford was run
ming for Congress, Gill was a delegate
to the nominating convention, which,
by the way was his first experience in
politics. 1t was a close contest, and Gill,
by throwing the votes of his county to
Danford, secured the latter's nomina-
ton. Danford served three terms and
then practiced law for eighteen years.
When he again sought nomination,
Gill happened to be member of the
convention, and by a curious coinci-
dence, was in position to give Danford
the necessary ESSENTIAL vote. Danford
came to Congress and served two terms.
During his second term he sought
Gill. "It's your turn now he said. 81
will decline nomination, and you can
be selected"
But said Gill, "have you any law
practice now? And hadn't you better
hold onto the $4,000 year for another
term?"
I'll take my chances" replied Dan
ford.
81 wont do it." said Gill emphatic
ally.
So Danford ran again and was re-
elected. He died during the summer,
Gill was named to fill the vacancy, and
last Monday stood in Danfords place to
take the oath.
Gill is rich and handsome, but unmar-
ried. But that. as Kipling would say,
is another story.

that some of the signers are counting

Quay is to be admitted to the Senate.
In defiance of constitutional principles,

Roberts. of Utah, against whose adj
mission to the House there is such
sharp opposition on account of his
having too many wives, were the only
one in Congress who has been sinner
in that direction, there would be at
least some consistency in the warfare
that is waged against him.
San Antonio Express: Perhaps it
would be better for the moral tone Of
the National Capital If no man who
has more than one wife were allowed
to sit in Congress or to occupy any
place of honor in the public service.

SECRETARY ROOTS REPORT
contains significant reminder OF the
domestic effect of enormous military
expenditures. Speaking of the esti-
mates of the chief of engineers for
river and harbor improvements, he
says: Il have not felt willing to ask
for this large increase of appropria-
tions for this purpose at time when
we are incurring such great and extra
ordinary expenditures for military
purposes, and have reduced the esti-
mates to be submitted to Congress for
general river and harbor purposes.
That is, internal improvements must
60 by the board while we are paying for
a war of subjugation in the Philip
pines or paying for Pacific cable or
Nicaragua canal.
In the midst of the general slush
about our frlendliness for England,
Senator Lodge has not overlooked a
possible infraction of the Monroe doc
trine which our British cousins may
have In contemplation. He has offered
in the Senate resolution calling for
information regarding the reported
sale of the Galapagos Islands to Eng
land for coaling and naval station.
The Galapagos Islands are fifteen IN
number, have an area OF 2,250 square
miles and few hundred inhabitants
They are located about 500 miles west
OF the coast of Ecuador, to which coun-
try they belong. The transfer OF these
islands to England would not only be
an invasion of the Monroe doctrine, as
interpreted by the imperialistic mind,
but would also be threat to the more
recent doctrine of the Lodge school,
that of our paramountcy in the Pacific.
1t therefore affords good ground for
quarrel with England and lot OF
lingo hullabaloo about nothing.
The committee to try Roberts was
not made up with any very serious re-
gard for the

to be determined or the decencies OF
the occasion. 1t comprises several new
members, one of whom has record OF
private life that would put Roberts to
shame. Everybody here knows that
an application of the test of persoal
objection which has been applied to
Roberts, would exclude from the bar
of the House number of members at
each session The high moral eleva-
ton which some of these members have
reached in the Roberts affair is very
remarkable, not to say hypocritical.

For His Recent Perfidy At the Polls
The Race For the Office OF Night
Captain Is sBetween Pat And Tom
Bendy, With Chances Favorable
To MagOffin's FavOrite Nephew.

The finest piece of sarcastic writing
from the pen of an Ell Paso citizen for
many day was printed in this moro
ing's Times.
The article refers to the contest for
the Office of night captain of police
now in progress between Tom Bendy,
the present incumbent, and Patrick 81.
Dwyer, the favorite nephew of Mayor
Magoffin.
The Times produ ON the subject
Is masterpiece of irony and sarcasm
and the HERALD considers it well
worthy of reproduction as 1t sizes up
the situation and touches up to
queens taste the rottenness of one of
Msgoffn's benchmen.
The Times tnsinuates boldly that Pat
Dwyer should receive the Office of
night captain as reward for q trea-
cherry and broadly hints that such ap-
pointment by Msgoffin would be per-
fectly consistent with his other official
acts.
The Times's article follows:
FROM THE Ell PASo TINES.
Who killed Cock Robin? lis not the
question that is agitating tie Eel Paso

burning zizzling question sof the hour
Is: WHO will be night captain of the |

Pat Dryer is after the job and his
friends say that he Is entitled to it:
they say that he elected Mayor Magof-
I'M; that If he had not won and BETRAYED
the confidence of John O'Keeffe the
democratic party would have lost the
day on the 11th of shis month Pats
friends say that he sacrificed every
thing, to save the party's

yesterday, "he has not saved the party
like Dryer did. Tom is a staunch dem
ocrat and always has been one, and he
| has always fought his psrty's battles in
| the open. But new methods have
been injected into local politics. Tom
does not favor such methods and is
| therefore considered out of date by the
new politicians. For that reason he is
going to be turned down."
An alderman speaking to Times re-
porter yesterday said:
"The mayor is held responsible for
his police appointments and I do not
think any one has right to tell him
who he shall and who he shall not ap-
point. 1t was the exclusive privilege
OF the aldermen to select the city attor-
ney, city clerk, street com missioner and
scavenger; they made their selections
and now the mayor should be allowed
to make his. 1t is for him to say who
shall be night captain and who shall
be policemen"
Members of the police force are of the
opinion that neither Bendy or Dwyer
will be made captain. They say that
the night against both OF them has been
so bitter that the mayor will not ap-
point either, but will give the plum to !
another. Some believe that & fficer |
Wtnkler will get it. while others be- |
lieve Officer Christley is theman. How
ever. there are still others who hold to |
The opinion that man not now on the |
police force will be made night captain
Ind that Constable Will Ten Eyck will |
De that man if he will accept.
The fight against Bendy has been
made by several prominent citizens,
md according to report several in
luentlal officials have signed Dwyer's
'et1tion and are backing him for the
ffice. The outcome is very much in
Oubt.
A prominent democrat said yester-
ay that 1t looked very much as if the {
mayor intended to be the Cleveland of '
