Key to Our Tableof Rates,
Thk onr month rate for space from the
ones is fixed so that
Texas has an alien land law. Under
it alien ownership in land is denied,
and even American firms and corpo-
rations in which foreigners have an
interest are debarred. An alien mort-
gagee cannot take real estate by fore-
closure, and hence cannot obtain landed
security for u debt.
The result is said to be turning out
badly for the stare, because it has
checked the investment of outside cap-
ital, and in consequence there is strin-
gency and distress. Some of the courts
have held the law to be unconstitu-
tional, but that test has not yet been
argued before the chief appellate trib-
unal of the state. It may be that the
present complaining is but what was
to have been auticipated in the early
operations of the law. But it is suffi-
cient to know that the people of Texas
are now divided in opinion as to the
wisdom of continuing the law in force
in its present form.
Texas needs capital to develop its
vast area and varied resources, and un-
less foreign capital can be invested
there such developments will be ex-
ceedingly slow. All such capital will
take wings for states where it is not
inhibited; no capital can be coerced;
it is a coward always and will flee from
every manner of assault. Legislation
cannot compel its entry or hinder its
departure.
If Texas can live through a decade of
the law, it is problable that home capi-
tal will prove sufficient for reasonable
expansion, but the experience of a sin-
gle year under the new law does not
encourage even home capital to remain,
or new to enter. The European money
market must always be a market for
American bonds, and where these in j (7-
g
any way relate to a landed basis they
will be excluded by such laws as those
of Texas. There is, however, virtue in
the la w, and the probability is that it
will prove but little embarrassing if
limited by amendment to small or rea-
sonable personal land holdings by for-
eigners, so as to prevent monopoliza-
tion of the land, and, indeed, such ap-
plication in a degree might be applied
to the holding of lauds by Americ .ns
also. But as .security for corporate
ions, for bonds, aud for certificates of
indebtedness for the protection of
needed enterprises, it is not probable
that guarded permission for foreign in-
vestment would work injury to the
state or encourage land monopoliza-
tion. That certainly can be prevented,
as it must be everywhere in the Union,
without actually closing the doors of
the money markets of Europe against
ourselves.

The Times has just issued a six-
teen page extra edition of five
thousand oopies to be known as
the “Silver Convention Special Edi-
tion,” containing the detailed proceed-
ings of the late Southwest Silver con-
vention at El Paso with all the statis-
tics presented and speeches made by
distinguished visitors.
The primary object of this edition is
to emphasize El Paso as the home of
the permanent organization of the
miners of the southwest and to create
the same impression upon those miners
who did not attend the convention as
was made upon those who were fortun-
ate enough to be here. We want to
make these impressions lasting and
with a true record of the events of last
week we cannot fail in this purpose.
Our description of the grand trades
display will be a feature that will not
only recommend El Paso to our read-
ers but will bring to them a thorough
knowledge of our industries and the
class of enterprising merchants that
our city contains. I t will be a most
complete advertisement for each of
those who avail themselves of space iu
just the tributary section that sur-
rounds El Paso and whose trade our
city should make all due efforts to con-
trol. It will make a lasting benefit of a
of a temporary expeuse already paid
by our citizens.
The edition will be well circulated
throughout the country und will thor-
oughly cover the mining camps of the
southwest. It will bo for El Paso and
for El Paso’s business men and will
prove productive of good results as
one of the best advertisements both
for our city and for t e business firms
that will patronize the enterprise.

The real estate men of El Paso con-
tributed nothing to tho success of the
Times Special Edition. This fact
stands out in contrast with tho pro-
gressive and liberal advertising done
by that class of men in every growing
▼illage and hamlet iu the country. It
Tfas the liberality of the merchants
that made^ our convention edition a
success. The real estate agents here
have not*y«t bought a copy. Verily,
as the Times has often said before, wo
need live, energetic and liberal minded
real estate agents in El Paso.
The Tribune makes an excellent sug-
gestion in regard to tho international
dam project in saying that: “Now
that Hon. S. W. T. Lanham, represen-
tative from this the eleventh district
has been appointed chairman of tho
committee on irrigation and arid lands,
he is placed in a good position to fur-
ther tho interests of the Mills dum.” A
united effort from our citizens will
make Mr. Laukam do every thing pos-
sible to realize the new dam.
Still Ueli«v«<l In Santa Claus.
Faith in the Santa Claus myth hasn't
entirely faded ou: of the juvenile mind,
though even the very youngest repre-
sentatives of the present generation are
apt to be skepticu I. Tho proof:
Little Betlina. three years old, has a
rag doll with whom iter relations are
particularly tender and sympathetic.
A morning or two ago this doll w:ts dis-
covered near the fireplace in a shocking
condition. Sue was black in the face
and, in fact, black all over, and the
smell of 8oot abont her was very strong.
It was a mystery until Bettiha was in-
terrogated. The condition of the doll
made her look a little rueful, but she
brightened up, and said:
“I firpered to Patty all the things 1
wanted for Christmas and sent her np
the chimney to tell Santa Claus!”—Bos-
