States. ~
Yesterdav a gentleman—not a
resident of El Paso—possessed of
ample means an 1 great inHuence,
alte treading ths remarks we have
lately published on the necessity of
building a railroad from El Paso to
the White Oaks country at an ear-
ly date, and the possibility of build-
ing it, if necessary, w.th our own
means, said that if the~~eitizens^of
El Paso would at once rai.-*e the
sum of $50,030 towards that object,
h« would guarantee an equal sum
from outsiders. This is no idle
talk, but was said in real, practical
earnest by a man who is in the
habit of making good what he iavg.
We ought not to let this opportu-
nity pass by—this offef~may be the
" tide, winch taken at its flood,
vrould lead us on to fortune." One
hundred thousand dollars, care-
fully and judicioasly expended,
would go a great ways over tha
easy and perfectly practicable
"country whicfr lies between heie
and White Oaks. There are no well
nigh impossible engineering feats
to be performed, as on the railroads
of Colorado. A great portion of
the line could be built for from
$6000 to $7000 per mile. When
the first one-hundred thousand dol-
lars was expended, capital—then
no longer timid—would promptly
step in and put the finishing touch
to it, and our city would have the
one thing she now needs to carry
her to prosperity and greatness.
Our leading people ought not to let
this offer of a responsible gentle-
man—to raise $50,000 as soon Us
the citizens raise a like sum—pass
by without taking prompt and im-
mediate advantage of- it-
It is rather suggestive to any
thinking man who daily scans the
column«L_of our daily telegraphic
dispatches, that dozens of cold-
blooded and hideous murders are
committed daily in the Eastern
and Northern States, while in the
much abu?ed mining camp.s and
frontier cities of the w«st a homi-
cide is of comparatively rare occur-
rence. There are less infractions of
law committed intraduced El Paso,
of which Eastern correspondents
are so fond of making a scape-goat,
than in any city of moral Connec-
ticut, of squal size and population.
No trace of the G;»ge train rob-
b rv h«s l>een found t-o far, and «e
are afraid tlu.t ih s example i f im-
munity will have a bad effect upou
those clashes who read yeilow-cov-
ered literature and dime novels.
Fnr>M f??m Antoiio we learn that
the four 3M«xicans who smuc f inr
weeks : g<> ntuidi red a coun ryman
of theirs ruar Fort Davis, were
taken from ^ail and lynched. Very
reprehensible, but ju^t all the same.
The land boom in Western Texas
and Chihuahua continues. Euro-
pean and Eastern capitalists are
more anxious than ever to invest
their spare <';>sh in £uch tolld se-
curity.
Foi k years ago IVxas stood third
in wealth among the Southern
States. To-day she stands first,
having an assessed property valua-
tion of $250,000,000.
Somebody will yet start a can-
ning e-tablishment for Mexica ifri-
joles in ti is city, and 1 eat Bosk n's
fame for baked beans clean out of
sight.
Hukry up all needful city im-
provements ! The expense incurred
in them is truly "brsad cast upon
the waters."
Some sections of Colorado are
getting uneasy about the foot-hold
the Mormons are getting. The Mor-
mons must go.

Wages in Mexico along tLe lines
of the new railroads have nearly
doubled. Common laborers receive
$1 and $1.25 as against fifty cents a
year ago. Mason < and carpenters
get from $1.75 to $2.25, and tbe pay
of clerks has increased at least 50
~ per ct nt.
Pueblo is growing at a great rate,
r— and its citizens attribute their pros-

N«'w I come before a Im Uv used
people, asking tluir indulg* nee.
_ I have inflicted on a defenceless
community for the la^t two y* ars a
quantity of Latin sentences which
were .profoundly ignored on the Ap-
pian way in the Rome of the
Caesars.
The honest truth is that 1 know absol-
utely nothing about Latin; and, another
fact, si ill more deplorable, 1 know agreat
deal lc s about English !
But 1 had to formulate my ideas in
some manner; so I took the liberty of
manufacturing a kind of Lexicographic
mixture, automatic and self-adjustable to
every special occasion! In this way the
good people of El Paso and vicinity
.were favored with a scientific vocabulary
of their own—a s >rt of home-made dead
hinjruage. so to speak. (Patent applied
for.)
But in palliation of tLe offeu, e 1 offer
the following ex< use for favorable con-
sideration: It always has been a kind of
ch it "en famille, (this is genuine
Freach.) and every bod 3- seemed to un-
derstand me, ami still there was no Pub-
lic School in the town, (perhaps that was
the reason.)
Be that as it may, whenever I told the

Now that harmony is restored between

•
A short time ago a woman came and
bought Fourteen Dollars worth of Furni-
ture. She was in distress—expected a
remittance from Eastern friends—would
pay in a week. 1 did let go.
A few days later she sold my furniture
to another dealer and eliminated herself
from this landscape, carrying away with
her my co;ifid«-BL*e in huinau nature, her
beauty and, especialy, mv Fourteen Dol-
lars !
1 Don't Like It! Would You ?
How caa I satisfy the pecuniary dem-
ands ot these obsessing and rapacious
printers of the DAILY TIMES, across
the street, if women will persist in
vamosing away from rids voting precinct
owing me Fourteen Dollars?
m-
It is true, I would only li.-ive charge.!
Ten J>ollars had she paid cash, bat it
seems money was uo object to h«r at the
time she bought.
I, wish I had sold her that bill
of goods for Five Dollars only;
it would have looked more liberal on my
part, and my loss would not look so des-
perately large on the slate where I keep
account*.
Bat etperieno* is a kind of merchand-
ise which it takes money to buy.
I bought Fourteen Dollars worth ! I
have enough—I want 110 more !
If anybody wants to sell me any more
experience, they will miss the train, fail
to connect, and be left on the platform
of that preposition.
From the Immediate future all specu-
lative schemes having TIME as a basis,
will be r.ernly discountenanced.
I BROKE THAT SLATE ?
Just think of ir—Fourteen Dollars ! !
