TO TOWN BOARDS.

The new registration law 81 1899 il
q complete change so far as township
and village registration goes. All
town and village clerks and super
visors should read it, IS 1t makes it
their duty to make, at least 20 days,
and post up at least 10 days, before
election, Q list of the legal voters ii
the township or village. Chapter 1s9
OF the laws of 1899, so far as it APP
plies to villages and towns, is as fol-
lows:
Except in cities of over 1900 in
shabitants, the board of registration In
each election district in the state at
least 20 days before any election,
shall make list or register Of the
names OF all persons who are entitled
to vote in their respective districts at
such election, which list shall contain
the surname OF such persons in their
alphabetical order and their places of
residence. Three copies of said list
shall at least 10 days before such
election be posted in each election
district.
The s'place of residence means the
section town and range, or the street
and number where the voter lives. "A
legal voter is one who has lived in the
state six months, in the precinct 30
days; and if foreign born, that he has
had his second papers for more than
three months prior to election day.
Railroad hands and men engaged in
working in the woods, and who are in
the precinct only for the purpose,
are not legal voters.

The populists never lose an oppor-
tunity to roast ssplutecrats, and 70
moan that the republican party is
ever against the poor man. And yet
the Beltrami- popu1ists did not hesitate
to endorse Judge Holland, one OF the
wealthiest men in the district, in order
to turn down his republican opponent,

mostly upon its rarity.

Auditor Dunn, our hat is off and we
are humping the floor with humble
head before you, Two weeks ago we
scored him for removing the state
bountx on wolves, thinking the act
applied to Beltrami comfy. Mr.. Dunn
informs US that his bounty repeal
applies only to the counties in the
southwestern part OF the state where
convictions of wolf-farming have been
made. You are re-instated in our
highest esteem, Bro Dunn, and we
will try torepair the injustice we have
done you BY calling on our brother
editors to qualify the item many of
them have published in regard to the
withdrawal of the state wolf bounty.

AID FOR GALVESTON.

In loss OF life the recent g Galveston
catastrophe far surpasses all other
|calamities which ever occurred in the
United States. The number OF deaths
in and around that city is placed at
from five to eight thousands, the de-
struction OF property at $50, 600, 600.
We know that in prosperous Bemidii
there are people who wish to contrib
ute their mite toward relieving distress
In that smitten community. It is with
pleasure that we will act as requested
IN the following letter:
GALVESTON, TEXAS, go 90.
DEAR SIR
At the time OF the storm, Sept. 9th,
We had in press very handsome pub
LEGATION entitled Picturesque G alves-
ton. 1t is a book Of something over
a hundred pages. printed on S0-pound
coated paper, filed with views OF this,
one OF the most beautiful cities in the
world. 1t was to have been issued
this week by the business men Of Gal
weston as souvenir advertisement of
the city. We find that possibly one
halt OF the edition can be saved and
are now binding those copies and will
have them ready for delivery very
shortly. N
We have rendered the profits OF this
publication to the Galveston Relief
Committee and under their auspices
the book will be sold to the general
public at $500 q volume. The book is
one Of the handsomest things that has
ever come from the printing press,
and il souvenir Of Galveston Of the
day before the storm. AS record OF
what the city was and as q prophecy
OF what the city will be when restored
this volume is well worth the money,
as it is the only thing Of record in
that line, Besides, purchasers will
have the satisfaction Of knowing that
they are contributing to the relief Of
thousands who were left homeless and
destitute by the hurricane.
We beg to request that you will at
once in your columns advertise this
volume and receive orders for the
book, forwarding the same to us with
the money at the rate Of ~ q volume,
We feel that We may appeal 70 you in
q fraternal spirit and that you may
safely guarantee to purchasers full
value for their money.
WeWill be able to save, perhaps,
3000 or 1000 volumes. OF course, the
first orders received will be the first
orders filed. Orders received after
the edition Is exhausted will be. return
ed with the cash.
May not personally appeal TO you
in behalf OF humanity'to push this lit
tie enterprise in your columns? For

q satisfactory in vestment. Possibly
you may get Your business organiza-
ton to take a few copies, and certain
ly many people 81 ARTISTIC taste IN

Democratic voters, think Of this:
Bryan told you ia '96 what . curse
the gold standard would be, now he
tells you Imperialism Is hundred
times worse. By figuring out how
much the gold standard has damaged
you, yon can get an idea OF the extent
OF danger pf Imperialism. But he was
false prophet on the money question;
do not trust his later awful predictions
now.

NEW MEXICO AND THE PHILIP
pINES-A PARALLEL

That the United States 10 not new to
ties as the Philippines present, is
proved by the concise state mens of the
Instructions of New Mexico and Cali
fornia prepared by Judge Magoou Of
the war department and Issued by Sec
recretary Root as Information for the
benefit Of the senate.
The report briefed Is as follow
The conquest of New Mexico by the
military forces of the United States
was accomplished by the campaign OF
1916. In compliance with Instructions
from the president, Gen. Kesrney, the
government for the occupied territory,
ano filed the executive and judicial
offices by appointment.
In Dscem Der. 'lS46, the native inha
bitants organized conspiracy to over
throw the United States authority In
New Mexico. On the first ghs of the
insurrection, January Is. 1S47, many
Americana, sheriffs, governors, mer-
chants, citizens, officials, and Next.
cans who had accepted Office under the
American government, were assasei
mated. The insurrection was general
and il was the purpose to kill every
American and every American sympa-
shizsr In the territory.
Col. Sterling Price WAS then oom-
msnder of the army of New Mexico,
With headquarters at Santa Fe. He
learned OF the uprising aud attendant
atrocities On January 20, 1S47, and that
the army of insurrsc!ion was marching
against Santa Fee. He took promps AID
vigorous action, and marched out to
meet the insurgents with force OF
about 400 men. There were many Sc
rious and sangulnery engagements,
from one position than it took refuge
in another, and main tanned q deter
mined resistance throughout.
For elk moths the war was carried
on. The Mexicans burned, pillaged,
aid killed everywhere. The loss on
bob sides wes terrible. Finally in
June, congress asked the president for

average visitor will spend five days IN
this city. The average visitor Cannot
live here for less than 81 SO per day.
The total amount that will be left
here, in money, by the visitors, will
thus be, at the lo~estsestimate, over
$50, 900. This will be brought into Ell
Paso in cash, and left here widely dis
tributed. From this estimate we might
consider total of four thousand pee
pie, elk days, at three dollars, making
S72, 600. But the most conservative
possible estimate shows Us clearly
what the convention will be worth in
money to Ell Paso.
1t is safe to say that there is not q
single man in business, not q single
householder, in the city, who will not
receive some direct or indirect benefit
from this large addition to our city's
available cab capital. It ought not
be hard to raise ten percent OF the
least amount that will be gained, ii by
this means Ell Paso will be rated as
tie finest convention city Of the Great
Southwest.
The business men ought to be will
ing to contribute two or three thou
sand dollars in order to get back ten
times that amount, pre- badly twenty
times. 1t Ia an Investment such as
does not present itself every day or
every year, and why there should be
any apathy with regard to it is more
than we can tell. Most Incompetent
sible of all IL the real opposition
that Ia manifest in some quarters.
The HERALD does not believe in max
ing an ''appeal" to the business men
to subscribe to this thing: It is tie
certain duty Of every citizen who has
the slightest regard for Ell Paso's good
name to 60 down in his pocket and make
q handsome contribution. Start the
list at high figure. Have some pride,
and give as if you liked it.
Ard remember that the time ia short.
But seven days remain. Rememb Der
also that the citizens who are giving
their time and effort to further this
thing are in some cases those that are
TO be least benefited. Remember that
they are men who have to work for q
living too, and they have no time to
stand and parley with some cheap in
1ividusl who Is false to his duties as a |
,itizen.
Do not keep the solicitor waiting.

Every Ell Paso business man Is directly
