ia In the field and Roosevelt and the
Washington, Oregon, North and South
DAKOTA Montana, and Idaho deleea-
lions for him. Idaho's first choice is her
gallant soldier Torrey, but after him
she favors Trip. Both men are highly
esteemed but If this country could
indulge In q little pure sentiment and
ley aside practical politics there would
probably be one voice for Q sailor or
soldier vice president. The fact is that
the sailors and soldiers do not want the
vice presidency and there are plenty
OF good men and true who do, but in
the patriotic fervor of our day the
country would like to carry one of her
brave warriors on her shoulders for
awhile.

l. pAsO's FOUNDATION STONE.

It Is to mining that FL Paso will
have to look for her truest AMI great
est development. The mining industry
was the foundati of Denver. and so
will It be of the Greater Ell Paso. Our
people should not let this vital fact
escape them.
There has been q great multiplica-
tion here during the past few years of
purely mercantile concerns, whose
sole function is buying and selling of
imported goods. The growth of this
class of business has been out of proper
tion to every other, and there ia q
limit beyond which competition in pure
ly commercial pursuits cannot safely be
carried. Indeed that limit seems to be
about reached in this city.
But while this ia true of the business
OF store keeping it is in no sense true
OF the productive industrial pursuits,
wherein things ere brought into exis-
tence by the labor of man. The
manufacturing interests of the town
are not overdone in most lines. The
markets of the surrounding country
are just beginning to be reacned and
developed. That there is q good open
ing here for manufacturing industries
in many branches is beyond dispute.
But the crowded condition of affairs
Is east of all felt in that greatest of sll
productive industries, next to agricul-
ture-that OF mining, the digging out
of the earth of the mineral treasures
that have been stored there from time
immemorial. This comes about as
near creating wealth as can be in
this world. The amount of
wealth that can thus be created
is absolutely ipexhaustible, go
far as our finite intelligence goes And
best of all, there is no competition At
all to speak Of in this virgin country.
Money invested in legitimate mining
Ia money we'll placed. There are wild
eat INNINGS chemes just as there are
men who insist on buying gold bricks.
but there is no more need of anv man
being bitten by a mining shark than
there is for South Sea Islander tn

Ell Psso's future rests on the develop-
ment OF the mining Industry in the
surrounding territory. Everthino
that tends to build up that industry
more truly benefits everv isdiv,du.,

1t Is in our power to centralize the
greatest OF the industries of the west
In this city, and thereby absolutely
control its development. Municipsl
energy expended along this line will
repay a thousand fold.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MUST LEAD.

ONLY two weeks more and the teach
ers and their friends will begin to
pour into this city by the thousand
The secretary of the chamber OF CON-
merce and the committee on conven-
lions have been working hard for some
monrhs making the arrangements,
and the women OF the Woman's club
have determined to give series OF
receptions and entertainments to the
visitors.
From information given out by the
railroads 1t appears certain that the
crowd will number from two thousand
to twenty five hundred. AS an illustra-
ton of what the railroads have been
doing. the offers of the T. P. and U.
81. & S. A. are enough. These roads
have practically made a fiat rate OF
i've dollars for the. round trip from
any point in Texas to Ell Paso. This
rate is In some cases 60 cheap that the
mileage rate is lees than q third of q
cent. Such competition may be
hard on the railroads some
times, but it is certain that Ell Psso
are thinking about to manifest so
mu Oh Indifference is beyond explain
ing. 1t must be because they are
incredulous, and cannot understand
the real greatness of the occasion.
From Sherman and Denison q chair
oar will be run to Houston, Galveston,
aud then here, and back home again,
all for five dollars for the round
trip. Sixty will come.
Information has been received that
i've hundred people will come from
Waco and vicinity. If the proper tion
is kept up in the rest Of the state it lie
hard to see where it will end.
lions are great thing
for any city. Ell Paso is not old enough
yet to be blase on such things and
every citizen should turn in to help in
every possible way to make tie occa-
sion a grand success.
Some members of tn cham Der of COM
merce, prominent ones, too, have made
the mistake of seeming to be unwilling
TO shoulder the responsibility of pro-
viding for the comfort and happiness
of the visitors. The overwhelming
sentiment of the city is in favor of bav-
ing the chamber of commerce take
hold of the matter and push it with a
vim. The few laggards should be
made to feel that the reputation of the
oity for hospitality and for ability to
care for big convention rests with the
chamber of commerce to maintain.
The thing to do now is to get In and
work, and quit talking.

Faith in Chi ese Gone.

Paris, Aug. 4.-The events of the last week touched almost ev- cry note in the gamut of human passions. Parisans experienced sorrow, genuine and sincere, at the assassination of Italy's King; joy over the victory in Africa which removed Rabah, the most stubborn enemy of France in that country, and indignation and cha grin that the sovereign of anoth CT country should have had his life ieopardized by one of their coun- trymen while he was a guest of the nation.
 So quickly did the acts follow one another that the dawning hope for the safety of the Ministers at Pekin, as revealed by recent dis patches, was almost lost sight of and even the more circumstantial evidence adduced early ill the week that the general massacre re- ported was not an actuality, re ceived only slight credence.
 A sinister warning found place in the press, counseling the gover- ment not to trust the subtle ema- nations from Chinese officials who asserted tue safety of the for eigners and urging an advance of the allies toward the capital.
 Hope, but not conviction that the ministers are alive is the pres ent condition of the public mind, and as the advance against Pekin has now begun, another period of anxiety is the result. So skepti- cal is French officialdom regarding the Chinese assurances that nOth- ing short of the actual production of M. Pichon, the French Minis ter to China, whose name has not been mentioned or referred to in any of the dispatches of the Minis ters or attaches of the other Pow CTS, will satisfy France, and the next ten days will be anxious ones.

On the 1st inst. the state treasury uiped out the last of the debt due the United States government. from the state government, by rcdeeming the remaining thirty bonds of the l6O provided for in the celebrated debt settlement made with the gov ernment and ratified by the legis'a- ture of 1897. A special fund was created for the purpose of meeting this obligation, and the debt has been met year before the time which the legislature considered would be necessary for it's dispssi- ton. The amount paid the govern nent was $160, ,000.
