El Paso daily herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1881-1901, 1901-02-28

An unusually strong protest from
citizens of Ell Paso against the re-
moval of Consul Francisco Mallen
from this diplomatic post has been
forwarded to President Diaz at Mexico
City.
The protest, which was in the nature
of a petition to the president of the
republic, bore the signatures of about
$50 of the most prominent citizens OF
Ell Paso. of all classes and of every
walk in life, and ought to furnish am
pie evidence to General Diaz tina nc
man better qualified than Senior Mallen
to fill the position of consul at Ell Paso
could be found in all Mexico.
During his residence of many years
in this city Consul Mallen succeeded
in gaining the personal friendship and
esteem of the very best citizens of this
locality. while his zeal in furthering
the interests of Mexico and cementing
the ties of friendship between the two
nations gained for him the admira-
ton of those who knew him only by
his works. While President Diaz prob
ably knows his own business it is hard
ly likely that he will send Senior NAL
len to some obscure post in the far
south when the diplomats services
would be of the greatest benefit among
and is popular.
Aside from the number of persons
who as individuals signed a petition to
General Diaz asking for the retention
of the consul. three Mexican societies,
two in this city and one at the smell
ter. adopted resolutions urging that
Senior Mallen be retained.
The petition was forwarded last
week to General Ignacio Mariscal, the
of foreign relations, and
ought ere this to be in the hands of
the president. 1t is expected that he
will take favorable action thereon in
4 few days.
The petition. with signatures at
.ached, is as follows:
Sr. General Porfirio Diaz, President of
the Republic of Mexico:
We, the undersigned citizens of Ell
oaso, Texas. have seen certain intima- |
ions in the public press, that the Hon. |
francisco Mallen is going to be re-
moved from his official position as |
onsul of the Mexican government at |
he post of Ell PasO. And believing
lis removal would prove serious det-
iment to the people of both govern
nents. we present this memorial in
estimony of his high moral and Off
ial character. and with the earnest
rust that your eXcellency will con-
inue him at this consulate. where he
as so long and faithfully performed
he duties devolved upon him. and for
7hich he is SO peculiarly qualified by
n intimate knowledge of the needs of
he people of this section of country.
The honorable consul has so con-
ucted himself in this high office. as
, secure the confidence and esteem
all our best citizens and we indulge
ne hope. that the pleasant relations
ow existing may not be broken or dis
lrbed by his removal from our city.

made haste to destroy. SO the forestry
commission went out of existence. The
destruction OF the forests has pursued
the unbroken tenor OF its ravaging way,
with no hand raised and no official
word spoken to arrest the course of the
lumber aud pulp ravagers, and no
movement begun to reforest the mil

else but the primeval covering of which
they have been ruthlessly stripped.

BUF ALO, Oct. 22.-Fire destroyed
the int Vior of the east end of the Ne "
Engla building on Saturday night.
The contents of the Vermont room
were damaged only by smoke. The
New Hampshire, Connecticut and
Rhode Island rooms were badly dam
aged by water. The estimated loss is
81 900 on each. The fire started in tn 9
partition dividing the New Hampshire
and Rhode Island rooms where the gas
fireplaces backed each other. The cold
weather of the past week necessitated
a continuous fire, thus overheating the
woodwork Of the partition.
The fire insurance authorities express
the opinion that the fire may have been
smoudering for days. 1t is hoped to
have the building reopened in few
days. Among the valuable paintings
lost was life-sized portrait of the late
James G. Blaine, which is said to have
been the best painting in existence of
that statesman.

Wisdom and Sanity Needed.

Goodwin Smith has renewed the dis
cussion about anarchy and the means
to abate it by a thoughtful article that
has been commented on by the press
in varied language. With one part of
this article conservative opinion, per-
haps will have no difficulty in agreeing,
and that is that extreme measures are
not needed, and perhaps aggrav,te the
disease they mean to cure. Mr.. Smith
approves no such method, and severely
condemns as worse than folly talk of
lynchlng, torture or any unusual pun
ishment, such as confinement on an is-
land. He can see no necessity for any
reactionary legislation, nor for the re-
vision of the principles that underlie the
American constitution. The people
who are now crying for curtailment
OF political liberty or restriction of
freedom of speech or of press on ac-
count of single murder, however
detestable, he says, will surely some
day be ashamed of this. No anarchism
could be more complete or worse than
arbitrary power in the hands of an au-
tocrat setting at defiance the higher
law Justice and humanity These,
indeed, be words of truth sober
ness. We must not forget that there
ia a higher law or higher principle of
justice and humanity that we may not
with our enactments lightly disre gard,
for the penalty of reaction, as surely as
history tells the truth, is greater than
anything that can be accomplished. -
