The ladies Car.

Editor Of The Times:
Sir-Whle we arc discussing the uues-
ton of the Ladies' Car on our railroads
in past times and its relation to the more
serious question Of the Jim Crow car
which now confrouts us. let me say that
the young gentlemen whom you have in
tervieweG and who have given their eNper-
icncc (Alf Bryan, Captain Bowie and
c.kcrs) have not carried their remlnt-
SCIENCES back far enough.
TIE Ladies' Car was an establish and
well-recosnzed fact long before our war,
and ,bef0re there were soldiers In the land.
indeed il remember Alright, the rule
of excluding men unaccompanied by
ladies Was more sternly and ineNoraby
enforced before than during that mem
orable epoch in our history, and was
quietly and universally accepted by us
without nlurmur or protest
our resrect ana veneration fer our ladies
in those early days were so great that we
rnircsitrtinGy Eeiievsd that they were by
divine right entitled to all the good things
OF This world and we never for a moment
thought of disouting their dominion or
resisting tlleir authority. but our desire
to he in their vicinity was so strong that
we would sometimes mins!e with Il party

guise contrive to cvade the argus-eyed

HON. Q, A, LARRAZOLO,
NEXT DELEGATE TO CONGRESS.

Larrazolo, native of a foreign state
stood upon adopted soil as the travel
Ter who views the limitless plain
wondering whence the trail came and
whittier it led.
A study of party history decided him
to cast his fortunes with the demo
cratic party because it was the party
of the people, (and verify he was one
of them,) and he has been an active
and influential member of it since he
made his choice
Poor In all the influences of heredi
ty except the proud spirit of gentility
nobility of purpose and humble integri
ty, his fortune not forerun with ances
tral power, he vaulted into the arena
armed with the sword of intellect and
the shield of hope. and in all his
gladiatorial contests he has never yet
placed his foot upon the neck of a
foe, waiting for the command for death.
The people of 81 Paso county elect
ed him district attorney by an over
whelming majority, and there is no
man to say that he ever wore an iron
heel for the unfortunate.
i, He held other minor Offices in El
Paso county, which evidenced the es-
TEEN in which he was held by the
masses of his. fellow citizens, with
whom he was always very popular.
| After the expiration of his term as
district attorney, Mr. Larrazolo de
efded to cast his fortunes with the
people of New Mexico, among whom
he had wide acquaintance, made in
his school days at st. MichaePs col
llege, and who had watched his upward
course with equal pride and pleasure
for Octaviano Larrazolo never met al

Hon. Octaviano A. Larrazolo, the
subject of this sketch and democratic
candidate for delegate to congress
from this Territory, was born at Ell
Vale, state of Chihuahua, Republic of
Mexico, just forty years ago, coming
to the United States when a babe in
arms.
At the age of ten years as the pro-
tege of the well-remembered Arch
bishop Salpointe, he went to Tucson,
Arizona, and has since that time lived
in the United States. He lived under
the protection and in the favor of
Archbishop Salpointe for six years,
and was then sent to st. Michael's col
lege in Santa Fe, New Mexico, where
he spent two years. With the excep-
tion of this assistance, Mr.. Larrazolo
is a self-made man, for at the age Sof
eighteen he went to Ell Paso, Texas,
where his parents then resided, and
taught school for two years. He was a
hard student and was after a while
made assistant in the Office of the
district clerk at Ell Paso, afterwards
being elected district clerk of Ell Paso
county for two successive terms of
two years each.
During these years of clerical SER
vice, Mr.. Larrazolo applied his spare
hours to the study of law, for which
his courteous bearing, his fine oratori-
cal powers and his acumen, fully dew
eloped in later years, we'll fitted him.
In 1887, at the age of twenty-seven, he
was admitted to the El Paso bar,
and few men of any nationality ever
carried with them to the laws forum
greater natural talents. He soon at
tracted attention and took his place
among the legal fraternity, carving his
future with an indomitable ambition,
as honorable as it was vaulting
1t was not unnatural that this young
man, feeling the tingling of youths
fiery blood, endowed with the energy
that impels men forward, burning with
the fire that kindles a fame on the
altar of fame, nd blessed with the
talents that companioned his ambi-
| tion with the means of it's satisfaction
should feel a lively interest in the
current political questions of the day
and with this spirit antagonize or ad
vocate them. The young student car
ried with him no inherited faith in
politics.. no fathers prestige, no fami
ly following. Spread before him like
a cnoatic panorama was the turmoi
of American political struggles. The
history of party policies was as an
atlas spread before him, where he
could trace with retrospective finger
the pathway of victory and defeat an(
