El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1900-12-26

FL Paso people should not forget that
January first, next Tuesday, is the
first day of the twentieth century Pre-
parations should be made for the
biggest demonstration of noise at mid
night of the thirty-first that has ever
been heard here. Everything ought to
be brought into play to make the
night hideous. Every firecracker and
cannon ought to be shot off in honor
of the new era. And what's the mat
ter with having a sort of preliminary
illumination of the crest of Mount
Franklin? Surely there ought to be
a hundred boys willing to climb up to
the top and light a tremendous bon
fire 1t could be seen for miles and
miles, as far as the human eye can
reach.

A few sentences out of the history of
Oswald Ottendorfer, the German edi-
tor who died recently, serve to indi-
cate the chances for success in this
country of ours. Fifty years ago OF
tendorfer arrived on our shores an
emigrant from Germany, penniless, ig-
norant, friendless. and unacquainted
with the speech of the new land. With
in ten years he had triumphed over
most of the disadvantages and difficult
ties and in the late years of life he was
the head of the most powerful organ of
opinion among the Germans, and a
man with a national reputation not on
ly for the power of his work and
thought but for his integrity and public
spirit. He left an estate estimated to
be in the millions. Yet there are mis-
anthropes who claim that ayoung man
has no chance in this country. that hos
tile capital controls all the avenues of
success. Brains and determination
control what they will.

The evidences of business activity abound on every hand, says Banker Henry Clews in his weekly letter: the condition of the crops holds out. al the moment. the promise of q good har- vest; our surplus of eXDOrtable staples and of manufactured products keeps up the extraordinary rate of increase. that has prevailed for the last three years; in fact, while the imports are kept comparatively low. our foreign shipments are all the time going ahead of our most sanguine expectations. At the same time the industrial interests have seen and measured the great trust" undertakings born in the last two oTihree years and are not alarmed at them. They see plenty of room for investment of their owh capitals, and find nothing to fear from the special powers and working facilities from which the trusts" have expected so much and of which they, have boaSted so much.

Senator Hanna has taken occasion

Senator Hanna has taken occasion before congress adjourns until January 3, for the holiday recess, to do some vigorous cracking of the party whip over the heads of those republican senators who have dared to express opposition tc the ship subsidy bill. He threatened them with all sorts of things if they did not get into line for the bill by the time congress re- assembled. and added that no repubii- can who opposed the bill need expect any favors from the administration. Whether those tactics will win cannot be told until the senate is again ill session.
