The women of New York are agitat-
ing a two cent fare for street car pas
sengers who cannot get seats in the
cars. The New York street car COM
panies do not provide sufficient cars
to accommodate the crowds, but hang
most of their passengers on straps
during busy hours. and hold them up
for full fare just the same. The wom-
en- and their lawyers think the two
cent fare a fair fare proposition and
one that perhaps may force the COM
pany to put on more cars.

Chicago is having trouble over hel
public school teachers. 1t has been as
serted that there is considerable oscu-
lation going on between teachers and
pupils and the consequent tempest in
a teapot has brewed up to great
strength. Probably Chicago has as
decent schools as any city but occa-
sional unfortunate incidents nourished
by yellow journalism have gained her
this notoriety.

The horse is again making a fight
against competitors. This time the
automobile encroaches on his ancient
rights and privileges. In his struggle
against the bicycle he generally won
the road privileges, and until he got
used to them bicyclers had to dismount
and hide their machines for fear of
startling the nervous beast One New
York Judge rendered an important de-
cision in the horse versus the automo-
bile, when he said that the horse has
no paramount or exclusive right to the

just as much as a novel machine. but
that that fact ought not to prevent per-
sons from using automobiles under
reasonable conditions. Now another
judge has decreed that steam automo-

steam propelled vehicles and are there
fore bound to send out a f1agman an
eighth of a mile ahead to warn trav-

Ell PASO WILL BENEFIT FROM
SOUTHERN PACIFIC EXTENSION

The announcement that the South
ern Pacific will build a west coast road
down into Mexico comes as no sur
prise to Ell Pasoans- The only won
der is that the Southern Pacific people
have not before now made the build
ing of the Phelps-Dodge road from
Bisbee to Ell Paso impossible, however
There is such a magnificent field for
the Southern Pacific in the Far South
west, if that road should practice a
liberal policy toward the big and lit
tie concerns of that section, that it
would seem to be very short sighted
on it's part to let some other more
popular road reap the benefit which
rightfully belongs to the Southern Pa
cific. as the pioneer.
The northwest coast of Mexico. is
the continent. There is of course
some mining, some ranching, some
stock raising. some fruit growing. and
on the sea coast some shipping; but
without a railroad, with access only
to be obtained by ship or by a tedious
and expensive overland trip, the sec
ton has not begun to attain its posi-
bilities.
The Mexican government will no
doubt literally substitute any road that
shall be built down the coast. since
it we'll knows that there is nothing
like a railroad to develop and to unity
the country. The Diaz administration
has always been liberal in this regard.
and the course of the government. has
been approved by the people.
Whatever road finally builds the
trunk line to the Pacific coast Of Mex
leo, and the coast line to open up the
region beyond the Sierra, will add i'm
measurably to Ell Paso's wealth. Ell
Paso is as much the natural gateway
for traffic to the Pacific coast of Mexico
as it is to the interior Of that repub-
lic And this city will be more and
more the natural commercial center of
all that district, and the smelling and
financial center for the mines.

DRUNKEN TANTALUS NATIVES,

There Is q crowd of tough natives on
Tantalus that need attending to. On
Saturday night last. they and their
wives and daughters had high old
time of 1t in the new quarters that
Jared Smith has just had erected near
the halfway house. They simply yell
cd and whistled all night. allowing no
one In the neighborhood to sleep. This
sort Of thing goes on every Saturday
ana Sunday but last Saturday night
the carousal went beyond any limit
ever reached on former occasions.
There is one particular native with a
particularly loud voice who shouts at
/ intervals of about fifteen minutes. In
the quiet forest. he can be heard for
nearly a mile. Some Of the fellows
who make these disturbances claim
that they are in the employ of Jared
Smith and, indeed, It would seem so
for they have taken possession Of the
new quarters.

ing that just now there are two things
in which the people of Hawaii were
deeply interested. One is the labor
problem and the other land laws
Of the United States.
THE extension of the Chinese Ex-
clusion Act to Hawaii" said he. has
caused no end of trouble to the sugar
planters, for since the Islands have be.
come a Territory OF the United States
the sugar planters have experienced
much difficulty in securing labor to
work the Plantations. The Chinese who
formerly worked the plantations have
mostly gone to the towns, where they
have engaged in business. Ana there

as to permit the importation of Chi
nese to Hawaii for agricultural pur.
poses only, the Chinese thus imported
&C. remain for a period not exceeding
ten years. This would keep them from
coming in competition with other la
Dor.
THE people of Hawaii will also
want the land laws modified. Undel
the homestead act the Government
gives 100 acres of the public domain
to anyone who wants to settle on pub
lie land. Now, in Hawaii we haven
a great deal Of public land and 1G(

Senator Cullom Talks on Work Of

Chicago. Aug. 5.-After a visit to
President Mckinley at Canton. Sena-
tor Cullom says there is not likely to
be any general tariff legislation next
winter, but that some OF the pending
commercial treaties ought to pass the
Senate.
Speaking of the action likely to he
taken by Congress at the next session,
Senator Cullom said: we shall have
to enact some legislation regarding
the Philippine. but not much, think.
Porto Rico is now all disposed of and
there Is nothing to do for II. As far
as Cuba is concerned. II has accepted
the American proposals and we have
nothing more to do than to let II alone
and allow II TO work out its own sal
