the president responsible for the

not subscribe to this belief. If it

move the president one iota from
his purpose of prosecuting the VIC

firm, sane, not necessarily the same

IF the railroads are not strong
enough to make and enforce such

the Morning Journal two days ago,
for the purpose of showing Mr.. Haw-

how easy a matter it is for even an
able man to make al ass of himself
by rushing into print at a time when
his passions have the upper hand
of his judgment. Mr.. Hawkins has
the reputation of being an able at

which the FL Paso paper prints upon
his authority would do discredit to

outburst by Mr.. Hawkins in the
Times puts a totally different COM

reading of his statement makes upon
our mind, as it cannot fail to make
upon he mind of any unprejudiced
reader, just two positive impress

First, that Mr.. Attorney Hawkins

working some crooked scheme upon

call attention to one, which, of and

Il was told when I reached San

fairly good body of men, and that
there was in particular one good,
strong Mexican, a Democrat, n
one who was a Republican, on the
jury who would probably largely
influence their fellow Mexican
members.
Immediately upon the recon

men, one a Republican and one a
Democrat, were each excused by
the court, without any reason be-

was talked publicly around the
court house and on the streets of

QUEER IDEAS.

Albuquerque Citizen.
William Allen White, the versatile
editor and writer, has queer ideas.
He is full of them. Some of them are
not half bad, and some of them will
not be so bad thirty years from now.
But queer ideas and a "long head"
go together, and "Bill' White makes
his ideas pay from a literary stand
point and otherwise.
The following from Whites paper,
the Emporia Gazette, about the
mean old cuss,' who say mean
things, might be termed a queer idea,
but it's the truth md hits someone
in every town. The Gazette says:
The most unpopular citizen of
Emporia is a MAJ Who takes great
pride in the fact hat he always
says what he thinks
HE calls it talking from the
shoulder 1t affords him a great deal
of pleasure to say disagreeable
things. and the only thing that mars
that pleasure is the fact that peo-
pie don't seem to appreciate him.
In fact, they avoid him as much as
possible, and they count it IN omen
of i'll when they see him coming, and
they can't get away.
The polite, CHEEKY man is the one
we are all glad to see; the man wao
has a pleasant word and a kindly
