We nr< authorized to announce 1.KIGII
C'liAKK. Esq., of KI Pasf.ft candidate for
District Attorney of tl»» :t»th .JudiH&l District
^ the ensuing ejection
NKEDKO LEGISLATION.
A petition in which the f^rape
growers of the l'io (Iraude valley
arc directly intereHled, and which
was signed by the most prominent
importers of foreign wines, deal-
ers in domestic wines and whole-
sale groceries of New York, has
been forwarded to .Senator War-
ner Miller, to be piesented to
congress. The petitioners repre-
sent that the existing law, section
3328 of the revised statutes, tax-
ing imitation and spurious wines,
lias not been enforced, for reasons
which the officers of the ■govern-
ment may explain. It is generally
understood that, this law can be
made operative by additional leg-
islation, and with such changes as
Congress in its wisdom may decide
to bo proper.
The enforcement of this law
would prevent a loss of revenue
to the government and would, by
reason of the stamps allixed, ben-
efit. the public by enabling con-
sumers and physicians to distin-
guish between pure and spurious
wines.
One of the most important Uses
for pure vine is in cases of illness,
convalescence and failing strength
in old age. Such wines, when
sweet, are necessarily strengthen-
ed by the addition of sufficient
distilled spirits to preserve the
saccharine matter contained in
them from fermentation.
The value of such wines (s,
therefore, dependent largely upon
the kind of spirits used in fortifi-
cation. In order that the best
grape spirits may be utilized in-
stead of cheap alcohol for such
purposes, facilities given to pro-
ducers for the* use of pure grape
spirits would materially benefit all
consumers, whether in health or
disease.
The weather is hot enough
these days for anybody.
The last report of the statisti-
cian of the United States depart-
ment of agriculture statesj that
sheep husbandry is in deeper de-
pression than any other animal in-
dustry of the country, the last an-
nual decrease in number being
about 2.000,000. With all stock
except sheep the number has in-
creased.
8pkaki.no of planting shade
trees, it would be a good thing for
El Paso if we had a man like
Lieutenant-Governor Ames, of
Massachusetts, in our midst. He
gave away trees on last Arbor day
to any North East on people who
would set them out. Hei gives the
town this year £2000 to be used in
planting shade trees along the
public highways, and has pur-
chased twenty-five hundred trees
for that purpose.
A.\ exchange from the interior
of Texas discourses as follows:
"I'nder existing laws county com-
missioners. arc kings. They can,
regardless of the wishes and inter-
ests of the people, meet arid pass
an Order levying the maximum tax
| with which to build bridges,court-
houses and jails; and the people,
if it happens in vacation of the
district court, are without a.reme-
dy tinder existing laws. The
commissioners are absolutely be-
yond the reach of the tax-payers
and also the courts, provided that
they do not levy more than 50
cents on the $100 valuation. The
people may apply for an injunc-
tion restraining the expenditure
as extravagant, inexpedient, and
| oppressive, but if it, be refused,
there is ho appeal allowed to the
people from the decision of the
district court • rendered in vaca-
tion.

Every citizen of El I'aso will
feel proud and patriotic on the
coming Fourth of duly all of next.
Sunday and the Monday follow-
ing. What American heart may
not feel proud on that day? In
the Old World unstable dynasties
are tottering to their fall, and the
light of empires grows faiut. but
peace and prosperity attend as
handmaidens upon our favored
land. We rejoice that on the day
we celebrate was given us a docu-
ment that made us a free people :
from thirteen states wo have
grown to thirty-eight, with several
territories knocking at the door,
asking to be admitted into the sis-
terhood—the grandest freest na-
tion in the world; a people, the
most intelligent, happy and pros-
perous.
A community was started at
Anaheim, Cal., several years ago,
the principal feature of which was
that only uncooked food was to be
used by its members. One after
another of its members have left,
either by resignation or starva-
tion, and now but two are left.
One of these, the spiritual adviser
of the society, Walter Loekwood
Thales. is so. nearly starved io
death that lie is confined to his
bed from weakness, and the other,
Mrs. IIinde, is so near the bound
of life that the Indies living near
her are forbidden to see her pale,
wan face in the dying pangs of
death by starvation. A counter-
part to this folly can be found at
the cranky community of Shalam,
near Las Cruces. the members of
which abstain from all animal
food. __________
Last Wednesday night at 12
o'clock, the bells tolled the death
of all saloons in <ieorgia. The
latest news is that all Georgia was
so jolly drunk at that moment that
nobody heard the tolling.
