The FL Paso News says: The build.
ers of the proposed Albuquerque Eas-
tern railway have asked the people of
the Duke City to donate right of way
and terminal grounds for the line.
which is now assigned to go to Duran
go. Albuquerque has longed for com
petition in railway freight rates. II
will now be seen whether the city has
the enterprise to OFFER an inducement
for hurry-up proposition. The time
TO get railway enterprises is when they
are available-for delay often changes
the drift of matters. The News makes
the prediction that line from Albu-
querque to the road from Santa Fe to
the Ell Paso Il Northeastern for con-
nection to FL Paso. will not be built un.
less the extension to Durango shall be
constructed. Albuquerque had better
hurry Such an extension would serve

Certain persons In the eastern part
Of the United States find In Mormon.
ism and its alleged increase a source
of terror which Is next to incompre-
hensible to persons living In this part
Of the Union, says the Denver Repub-
lican. An illustration Of this Is shown
by the fact that In recent issue of
the Christian Work and Evangelist of
New York. Rev. s. r. Wishard repre-
sents that II New Mexico and Arizona
are admitted as states Mormonism
will control the whole section from
Mexico to Canada.
Every one who is properly informed
knows that Mormonism in this sense
is nothing but a bugaboo. hardly
worth the consideration of thoughtful
men. That the Mormon element is In
the majority In Utah Is not denied
hut its power In Salt Lake City, the
center and citadel OF the church, has
been broken. The Gentiles are the
dominant power in Salt Lake. and they
are so In every state and territory oil

Utah. In Wyoming and Idaho the
Mormons are an element to be taken
into consideration. but they cannot af
feet the result of elections. except az
they may throw their weight to one
