SPLIT REPORTED
IN COUNTY
RING f
Youngsters, It Is Claimed,
Want to Get Some of
the Spells.

Political scions are scheming for an
insurrection in the ranks of the Ell
Paso ring" and the overthrow Of long
service officeholders. There are sew
eral factions working to cause revo-
luton in the Democratic ranks at the
next county election.
Just who is in back of this move
ment has not yet been made public,
but it's said that the young men OF
the city are firing of the dictatorship
and have decided that instead of bow
ing the neck to. the yoke, to take up
the ballot of insurrection and vote for
one of their own number
From time to time stories leak out
about dissatisfaction within the ranks
of the faithful and true: on each and
every occasion these reports are de-
MED and it is proved when election
time comes round that there was moth
ing to it after all. It was just BLUM
to put the boys on guard and keep the
crowd together and 1T always worked
beautifully.
1t is known among certain Of the
legal fraternity that there is a long
flight of stairs from the ground floor
to the second floor of the courthouse.
and there is certain friction among
the men higher up and offices on the
There has been a long established
custom for the sheriff to keep a Span
ish speaking deputy who can act as
interpreter, but at. present there is
none; kick number one from the gall
lery Other officers complain that
there is tendency on the part of the
sheriff to tell them how to write out
their complaints and warrants; kick
number two.
But the real grief is caused on ac-
count of the dictatorship assumed by
mayor c. E. Kelly. It is pointed out
that while he has selected heads for
his various departments. he makes the
appointments and conducts those de-
partments according to his own fancy
without going through the formality of
consulting the chiefs of departments,
and thereby hangs the principal bone
of contention.
And now mayor Kelly is going fish
ing He will be gone for 80 days and
perhaps when he returns he will have
a conflict on his hands which will re-
quire all the reserve energy he can
store up while he is back in Mississippi.

HAY WAREHOUSE AT
NOGALES IS BURNED

Nogales. Ariz., June S-The hay
storage house of Escalada Bros, of
Nogales, filled with about 200 tons Of
hay, was almost totally destroyed by
fire. with a loss of nearly $4,000. par
tally covered by insurance. The fire
is supposed to have originated from
the careless dropping of cigaret stubs
or smoking, since it broke out inside
of the warehouse.
News has reached Nogales of the
marriage of Miss Winifred Cooper and
w c. Kelts in Phoenix. Miss Cooper
was reared in Noga1es.
Gen. McCabe, brigadier in the United
States army, visited Nogales to inspect
the second squadron Of the sixth cav

FOR ENFORCEMENT OF LAW.

We arc glad indeed To see that the
Dcserct News, the official organ Of the
Mormon church. is trying TO work up
in it's own mind zeal for the enforce
mcnt of the law. On Saturday even
ing IT cvasivcly answered the question
- Do you think the laws Just enacted
against gambling and the use of to.
bacco by minors Will be enforced in
Utah'' by saying that these laws ought
to be enforced. Now, we also believe
most earnestly that these laws should
he enforced, the same MS all other laws.
The Descret News would have the pub
lie believe that this is dts own position.
And yet, since the News is the cham
pion and organ Of a sentiment here that
is stubbornly opposed 10 the enforce.
mcnt of some of the laws, it finds 1t
difficult to be unreservedly in favor OF
the enforcement OF law, as law.
1t is careful all through to confine
its reply TO the one who inquiries of
1T as to the enforcement OF these laws,
that these particular laws can be en-.
forced, and ought to be. II never. at
any time, so far forgets itself as TO
pronounce in favor Of the enforcement
Of all the laws Certain laws which 1T
wants enforced it believes should be en-
forced, and it clamors for such enforce.
mcnt Certain other laws. as those
against polygamy and unlawtul cohabi-
tation, il not only fails to demand en-
forcemcnt of, but il rails and rcvilcs
anyone who undertakes to enforce them
as vicious and unholy prosecutors.
If the time should ever come when
The church organ in chief should un-
reservedIy and heartily pronounce IN
favor of the enforcement Of all the
laws. instead of chcerfully calling for
the enforcement of certain laws while
obiccting to the enforcement Of others,
the legal and practical political sItua-
tion in Utah would be immensely re-
lievcd.

GERMANY MILITANT.

1T is not easy to account for the
German military attitude, unless one
supposes that it is assumed for the pur-
pose of notifying the world that Ger
many is not in accord with the peace
sentiment so much urged, but on the
contrary is directly opposed to IT. A
law has recently been passed by the
German Reichstag, providing for
gradual annual increase of the German
army for the next five years. This Was
passed by the enormous vote OF 247
against 63. 1t was passed also with
out much debate, and with so little op-

position that scarcely anything has been
heard Of it in the world at large. II
is evident. therefore, that the German
public is quite in accord with the I'm
perial ideas on this question; and the
Emperor, it is known, is always for an
overwhelming army. and for the strong
est possible navy.
The peace strength Of the German
army has. for some time. been on the
standard Of 100000 available mon.
Russia alone, of all the nations in the
world, claims a greater standing army,
or rather n greater standing military
force, for the Russian troops are di.
vided into three separate armies, each
of which knows little OF the other. viz,
the European army the army Of Cau-
casus, and the Asiatic army. These
combined make nominal force Of
100000 men. The available strength
of Russia on a war footing is approx
matcly 6,000, 900, but it is not in the
least likely that any such force as
that could actually be brought into the
field. France comes next to Germany
ranking third in size of her army, which
amounts to 100000 men. Japan comes
next with an army Of 100000 men on
n peace footing. being about seven times
the aggregate of the army Of the United
States.
The German army is supposed to be
kept in n higher state Of efficiency than
any other army in the world, man for
man, and as this army is likely to be
increased to about 100000 on q peace
footing, the German military strength
is indeed formidable. 1t has been the
of forty years ago to keep her army
up TO substantially the same strength
as that of the German army. This wall
no longer be possible, for Germany has
a population practically fifty per cent
greater to draw upon than mas France,
and her army will doubtless be increased
accordingly above the possibility that
France can reach.
1T is. however. an extraordinary thing
that Germany should begin now, in a
tltlS VI tiolOulu NOIlu PtdSc, hhb
when arbitration is at a higher mark
of popular favor than ever before, and
when the advocates of peace seem to
be having all their own way, TO make
such heavy increases in her army. The
possibility of conflict between Ger
many and Russia is too dim to account
for this increase of her army by Ger
many. And yet the move must mean
something 1t IS explained in Ger
many as being simply a move to keep
the German army to the same proper
tionato strength that the population
has increased since the standard Of
100000 men was fixed for the army.
And the Kaiser can be fully trusted TO
see that as extensive additions as the
new legislation will allow TO the army
will be made,

son was elected, by the legislature in
majority candidate was designated at
the primaries. and there being no ma
.jority candidate II was held that the
legiSla ture was not bound. The lcgls.
lature could easily be bound, however,
by device which would allow of the
selecting, either through primaries or
by a convention, of the party candi-
date, and having the name of that
candidate on the general ticket at the
election when the legislature was cho-
his party vote, and The party eeeting
the legislature would ratify such popu
lar choice. Or. as in Oregon, it might
be that the people would designate as
their choice a Democrat, and il would
be the duty of the legislature even
though il were Republican, to make
official the choice of the people where
they made choice of a Democratic Sen
ator.
The way being so well opened and
so variously tried for the election 'of
Senators by the people in the different
States, it is difficult to see why there
should be this insistence upon passing
the constitutional amendment. 1t can
only mean. that those who are urging
this, desire to have the control of Con
gress over the election of Senators
md Representatives taken away. That
control is now secured by the consti-
tuition. There would seem TO be no
reason for giving up that control; nor,
even if the constitution were amended
so as to allow of the election of Sen
ators by the people. would there seem
to be any reason why this question
should be raised at all. 1t was raised
in the last Congress for the purpose
of defeating the popular election Of
Senators, and after the direct reasser-
tion of Congressional power in the pro
posed amendment, the most of the Sen.
ators from the southern States voted
against such popular election, even
though they had themselves been sent
to the Senate by that same means, their
opposition being to the reafirmation of
this power of Congress, which they
feared might be exercised in the old
manner Of the force bill, which was
found so offensive
We should consider it very unlikely
that the Senate would devote much
time to this question at the present
session. and even moro unlikely that
it should agree with the House in pass
ing this proposed amendment.

SENATORS BY POPULAR VOTE.

II is curious that the Democratic
House should be so prompt and en-
phatic in passing the proposed amend
ment TO the constitution, which would
allow Of the election of u. S. Sena.
tors in the different States by the peo-
pie. For, first, there is no necessity
whatever for the passing of such
amendment, The people of any State,
on their own motion, as has been done
by them in many Of the States, can
provide for the popular election of Son
ators: the legislature being called on
as is done by the electoral college in
the case Of the election Of President
and Vice-President.
Various means have been adopted in
the several States for effecting this
purpose. Some Of the States have pri-
mary elections. and the Legislature, at
the proper time rati1ies the choice of
the people az these primaries. This
works well in the South, where the
elections are onc-sided. where ihe Dem
ocrats have II all their own way, and
where the Republicans have no show
whatever, either in the primary or in
the Legislature, In States where there
is fairly equal division between the
two parties, and where each is fight
ing strength. this might not work so
smoothly. But, nevertheless, primaries
arc held in many Of such States. They
are unsatisfactory at times. rs in Hi
