at variance with the view of thinkiu g
men, democrats or republicans.
This view, which msEy erstwhile
democrats will express unequivocally
by their ballots in November,is tersely
stated In letter received a day or two
ago by a well known Ell Paso democrat.
The writer of the letter is naval Of
ficer o: high rank. He is Virginian
by birth, an eX-confed crate, and had
always. been a rock ribbed democrat.
When Cleveland was inaugurated in
1885 he went to Washington with q
train load Of enthusiastic democrats to
"help turn the rescals OUT" as he was
fond of declaring. He served actively
during the Spanish war, aud lately was
stationed In the Philippines.
Now this open minded Jeffersonian
b. as changed his mind; he has come to
realize the great mistakes that have
been made by certain irresponsible and
none too scrupulous politicians of con-
Stunning ambition who have used the
name of the democratic party to con-
ceal and keep warm their brood of
selfish and dangerous schemes. Thus
he writes:
Since the democratic party exists no
longer, l can only hope for the re-
e ection of Mckinley and q republican
house. | want to see the country up
held before the world, and 1 wish to
see the results of the Spanish war
cinched so tight that no one eau ever
try oundo them. This can only be done
through Mckinley and his party.
have no faith in all this funny talk the
other fellows blow out. They give me
q pain.
There lie prophetic ststesmanship in
the unadorned truth.

SALISBURY'S MISTAKE.

What did Lord Salisbury mean?
This is the question that is being
flashed back and forth around the
world. England is stirred while states.
men ipdustriously proceed to twist
the British pr emier's remarks to suit
their own particular views.
Britain, then, fears Ireland. The
glorious British empire is apprehen-
sive of armed rebellion at its very CEN
ter. The Irish are 'powerless," they
are temporarily ''erased," but English
men may be sure that they will not
remain so.
The prime minister has unequivocal-
~ stated England's position with re-
gard to Ireland. There ia no hope"
says he, "that we shall give Ireland
practical independence, for we have
learned from South Africa how q dis
loyal government can accumulate arms
and thus secure terrible advantage 1"
Follow ing so close upon the queens
visit to Ireland, and the shamrock in
cident, this statement must convict the
British government, before the world,
OF the most shameful double dealing
and insincerity toward the Emerald
Isle.
The insult Is deadly and direct, ard
every Irishman in the world will take
it to heart. Think for q moment of the
effect this terrible arraignment will
have ON the ardor OF the thousands up
on thousands of Irish soldiers who are
fighting for the queen in South Africa.
Were the Irish less genuine people,
such direct evidence of the British
governments purely mercenary and
almost inhumsn attitude toward her
devote soldier sons would result al
most certainly in general revolt ard
com plete disorganization OF the army
in the field.
As it is, ireland will robsbly write
Sails US speech upon her heart N
bitter characters. and wait for the day
when she can assume her true estate.

THOSE FRANCHISES

There is no reason why there should

There Is no conflict in the plans Of the

terests of all, since each proposed road

that end, the president of the United
States issued to all governments in the

gentine Republic, Bolivia, Chile, Nj
caragua, Salvador, Guadalupe, Dutch

from the others soon. Many of the

THE TEAR-DOWN PARTY.

There are a great many democrat!
In Ell Paso who dissent heartily from
the letter and spirit of the resolutions
adopted last Monday by the county
convention. To begin with, the con
vention declared for free silver and
against expansion, thus antsgonizi G

They commended Bryan enthusiastic
ally, although q leading democrat of
this city. speaking for others besides
himself, declared that Bryan, far from
being q statesman, was not even a
patriot.
Most of the sections of the platform
are negative or denuncia,ory in char
acter, ''opposing" and ''de noupcing"
this and that with small discrimina-
ton. The only positive declarations
in favor of any thing are those calling
for the election of senators by
popular votesand for the construction
OF the Nicaragua canal by the govern
ment. Both of these measures are
strongly favored, by the republicans,
who have been mainly instrumental in
pushing them. Outside of these Two
measures there is only one business
like declaration, and that lie the last
section, commencing the late demo-
cratic legislature for refusing to enact
Cover nor Sayers's highly vicious tax
bill.
It Is q curious.fact also that the con-
vention permitted Judge Plemmops to
belabor Congressman Stephens and de
nouoce him as faiiblesss to this COM
munity, without attempting to offer
word in reply. Since Congressman
Stephens took the pains to excuse his
sbsence on the ground of pressure of
public business, and asked the con-
ventlon to instruct for him. the action
of the convention.can be considered on
ly as being an Indirect rebuke to Mr..
Ste phens.
The local democratic party shows by
It's declarations that it lie in no respect
different from the other branches of
the party, always denouucing, oppos-
ing, ana tearing down, while the re-
publicans are progressing and building
up the prosperity OF the nation. It is
democratic destruction against repub-
lican construction, democratic retreat
against republican advance, democra-
tic encouragement against republican
hope.

TIE three bank statements that ap-

interesting reading. The absolute
solidity of these institutions Is some
thing for Ell Paso to be proud of. Moth

TEXAS raises enough cotton to give
employment to 300, 900 mill hands in its
manufacturers fact on which the San
Antonio Express comments thus:
That would mean the support OF some
hundred thousand families who would
supply the mill hands with various
commodities. including milk and butter
and chickens and eggs and vegetables.
and it would mean increased trade for
a greater number of family grocers. as
well as for other tradespeople, and it
would mean increased business for a
greater number of real estate and rent
al agents, house builders and house
furnishers and greater prosperity all
around.
And Texas could double her crop of
cotton If the demand justified 1t.

prophecy can be fulfilled. The end is

Boer Women Miss Kruger says:
Eyes. the Boer women go to battle with
husbands and fathers. Was there not a
time when the women OF America risk
ed their lives that a republic might be
born? Somewhere I have seen q, picture
of the Revolutionary heroine, Moll Pitch
er, firing a cannon.
s#{ '-Boer women are strong. They hunt
with their brothers., sitting their horses
with superb ease, disdaining saddle,
shooting game, big or little, with unfal-
tering aim. General Joubert's wife can
be taken as the type Of Boer woman who
does not fear the whiz of bullets, ready
to risk life that her children may enjoy
liberty. In peace or war Mrs. Joubert is
always at her husbands side. have
often heard her tell that during the last
war she drove sixty miles in a Cape cart,
accompanied only by little negro girl.
It was a very dark night, and the enemy
fringed the way, but the men CALAMITY
fighting at the front were in sore straits
for food. and her cart was freighted with
a precious load Of rusks and bread. So
Mrs. Joubert, forgetting the dangers that
heset the way, drove on TO the starving
soldiers.
Many Of the Boer girls are highly ac-
complished, studying music and dancing,
with French and German instructors.
They are, many of them. very prepos-
sessing, with flashing black eyes and OIL
i've compilations. The Boer girl is equal
~ at home in kitchen or drawing-room,
and a nervous temperament; ldndled by
foreign contact, promises to save her
from becoming the colossus of fat that
is the phlegmatic Boer fate. The Roer
girls wear a short skirt and simple bodice
for riding and hunting; for dress occa-
sions they pattern their gowns after the
English. choosing rather gayer colors
than the English wear.
The most popular miseonception of our
race is that Zulu blood filters through
our veins A few there may be who are
mus tainted, but the God-fearing Boer,
loving and living up to Puritanical stand
ards, does not pardon such intermingling.

How TO Clean Ribbons.

Now THAT ribbons are SO extensively
worn 1t IS quite worth while to know
how3to clean them successfully and easily.
The two methods here given have been
put 10 the practical test many times over.
80 there need be no hesitancy about try
Ding through fear of failure or of unsa;is-.
Factory results.
The first method is exceedingly simple.
and answers the purpose for all except
white ribbons or those That are Very badly

Easoline-more or less, according to the,
amount OF ribbon to DE cleaned. Place
the soiled ribbons dn it-all colors. lengths
and kinds may go in at once-aid screw
the cover on tightly. Shake the bottle
uocasonally. and leave It closed from two
to six hours, or over night. Then take
out the ribbons. shake each one we'll. and
hang It to dry in the open air. The rib
hons will be clean. and the dirt will be
found In the bottom OF the Jar. or course
che ribbons need a thorough airing and
sun bath to remove the todor of the gaso-
line but that Is all. No pressing Is re-
ouired. as the gasoline does not affect
them as water would.
The clear gasoline should be poured of
without disturbing that IN the bottom.
Then the Dirt which has settled at the
bottom should be emptled out. and the
clear gasoline put back, ready for another
cline. Keep 1t tightly covered. and OF
course, never use it near a fire light or
heat. because of the danger Of Its sg-
hitting.
