A postoffice is not always first-
class simply because the department at
Washington so designate it.
Wonder, if tho present administra-
tion would grant ua-anotber postoffice to
compete with the looal amatner postal
force.
If the departing mails get no more
prompt attention than those received at
the n Paso postoffice, then our valen-
tines will reach New York next month.
state of Cuba was a scandal not to be
endured by a oivilized oountry in the
position occupied by the United States,
so are the relations existing between the
United States and Puerto Rico scan
dalous and unendurable.
“To end the first we were required to
make war; to end the second it is neces-
sary to piss an act of congress waiving
or modifying the tariff.
“The best way of facing the new sit-
uation would be to abolish the tariff
between the United States and Puerto
Rico entirely, in accordance with the
original recommendation of the presi-
dent. But a simple modification would
be better than what is.
“Congress sullenly leaving Puerto
Rico out in the cold, the victim of war,
is like a troop of soldiers that refuses to
bring in the wounded from the battle-
field through unwillingness to diminish
the common share of the mess table.’
No wonder the Herald is boldly re-
dating telegrams of the Globe-Demo-
crat. Its “grapevine” service is the vio-
tim, too, of the tardy delivery of mails
in El Paso.

Here is a resolution which was in-
troduced. as a good joke, at the stock-
men’s convention in Oklahoma the
other day. It accounts for some ofour
McKinley prosperity thus: "Resolved
That while we deprecate war and blood-
shed of all kinds, yet the present war
in South Africa between England and
the Boers is not withont its blessings as
viewed from the western ranges of
America, and if it is poesit le to keep
the combatants far enough apart to
prevent bloodshed, we favor the contin-
uation of the war indefinitely.”

Senator Cullom's poor showing for
re-eleotion in Illinois brings to mind
what Secretary Blaine once said of him:
“Cullorn is very shrewd about some
things, but he’B got no sense about oth-
ers. He seems to be always looking at
the past instead of the future. He rec-
ommends men for office for what they
have done for him rather than for what
they are able to do for him in the fu-
ture. For example, he has bothered
the life out of me ever 6ince I came into
the state department about a broken
down old soldier who is dying of con-
sumption and thinks he can get a con-
sulate down in the tropics. If Cullorn
should bring in some bright, active,
promising yonng man I should be in-
clined to appoint him, but I cannot
make the consular service an asylum
for invalids.”

To the merchant who understands
newspaper advertising, nothing need
be said of its value and close connec-
tion with successful business ventures.
We know merchants who boast of put-
ting more money iu newspaper ads
than in house rent, tine merchant says,
and with great truth, rather than have
my store on the main street of a city at
high rent where I deal with the passing
throng, all strangers to me, I prefer
lower rent on a side street putting the
difference in newspaper advertising
which brings me customers and makes
me acquainted with them.
The best argument that newspaper
advertising pays is the great amount of
advertising found in the daily newspa-
pers of the country, which represents
millions, of dollars annually. This
money would not be so invested year in
and year out, unless there was suffi-
cient return to warrant the expendi-
ture. These are facts so well establish-
ed now that the following opinions of
big advertisers throughout the oountry
aae remarkable for their truth and
brevity:
"The [ mau who does not advertise
simply because bis grandfather did not,
ought to wear knee breeches and a
quene
‘The mau who does not advertise be-
cause it costs money, should quit pay-
ing rent for the same reason.
‘The man who does not advertise be-
cause he tried it and failed, should
throw away his cigar because the light
went out.
‘The man who does not advertise be-
cause he ' doesn't know how himself,
ohght to stop eating because he can’t
cook.
“The man who does not advertise be-
bause somebody said it did not pay.
ought not to b lieve that the world is
round because the ancients said it was
flat "
The enormous increase of the trade
of the Pacific with this country will be
responsible for future railroads into
this city with an outlet to Mexico’s
western ooast. The reason El Paso
stands preeminently as the objective
point for new lines, is her already oom
plete network of railroads, her proxim-
ity to the cotton crops of Texas and her
future control of the increasing trade
with Mexico.
From statistics compiled at Washing-
ton we learn that American commerce
with the islands and countries of the
Pacifio shows a greater gain in
the I year 184)9 than that of any
part of the world. Our total exports in-
creased $20,000,000 and our exports to
Asia and Oceanica alone increased over
119.000. 000; our total imports increased
1164.000. 000, and $84,000,000 of this in-
crease was from Asia and Ooeanioa.
Exports to Asia and Ooeanioa increased
27 per cent, while imports from that
part of the world increased 40 per cent.
Of this increase of $20,000,000 in ex-
ports to Asia and Oceanica, over $6,000,-
000 went to British Australasia, $4,000,-
000 to the Hawaiian islands, $4,000,000
to China and the remaing distributed to
the various countries and islands of
that part of the western Pacific, while
of the imports from Asia and Oceanica,
$12,000,000 were from the Dutch EaBt
Indies, $11,000,000,] from Japan, $3,000,-
000 from the Rritish East Indies,
$7,000,000 China and $6,000,000 from
Hawaii.
Of the inorease in exports, the large
proportion was in cotton, cotton goods,
machinery and other manufactures of
iron and steel, and El Paso is along the
natural outlet for cotton to the Pacifio,
But the cotton in transit must avoid the
long and expensive haul to the western
coast of the United States. The Mex-
ican coast is much nearer and lines
must be buit to handle this trade econ-
omically and El Paso will be on these
lines of railroad.
El Paso’has a population of 22,500 and has put over a million dollars in building improve
ments during the past year. The mining industry is flourishing. The Sierra Madre Line
now taps the Sierra Madre Range at Casas Grandes, a virgin region for the American
prospector. Many rich mines have already been discovered and are now big producers.
The El Paso & Northeastern Railway, now building from El Paso, has reached to within
few miles of the great coal fields near White Oaks, N. M. El Paso is a cosmopolitan city
and destined to be in a few years the Greatest City in the Great Southwest.
development of cotton fabrication in his
native land. There are at present 125
factories, including two for knit goods,
scattered m groups over the republic,
and it would appear within a few years
the republic of Mexico will be entirely
independent of foreign fabrics of this
kind.
The government has on its hands 272
women and 352 children of the families
of the Yaqni prisoners captured in the
Mazoooba battle, a few weeks since.
They were sent to Manzanillo in the
gnnboat Oaxaca, thence distributed to
Guadalajara, Irapuato, Sllao, Leon and
other interior town. These are apart
from the 600 prisoners sent also to Man-
zanillo a day 01 two since.
In the hydranlio lime faotorj just
this side of Guadalupe, the furnaces
for horning the lime stone are very
badly constructed, and several oases of
asphyxia have occurred among the
workmen. The board of health has sent
an inspector to examine the place and
has ordered various changes to he made
which will obviate the recurrence of
asphyxia. This establishment is doing
an immense bnsiness with its hydranlio
lime.

The citizens of Honey Grove are cir-
culating a petition in that city for the
purpose of securing money to build a
cotton mill. Their object is to secure a
capital stock of $100,000 with-whioh to
erect the mill. Up to last night $65,000,
had been secured, which almost assures
them the mill.
A telephone message was received at
Beeville from Pettns, stating that Sam
Copeland, son of Deputy Sheriff J. W.
Copeland, had been shot to pieces by
some party who had waylaid him. Of-
ficers immediately left for the scene.
Young Copeland is one of the most pop-
ular young stockmen iu Bee oounty.
The bridge building fever has assum-
ed popular form at San Angelo and an-
other petition was presented to the com-
missioners court for an election on the
proposition of another bond Dissue of
$10,000 in addition to the one acted up-
on, for the purpose of increasing the
capacity of the existing bridge in the
city. The electors will, therefore, on
the 24th prox , vote on the issne of $20,-
000 bonds for bridge bnilding purposes.

The death rate at the Phoenix Indian
training school has been unusually
large on account of the prevalence of
measles in the institution.
A special from Nagales says that the
Owen brothers, two of the handits who
held up and robbed Wells. Fargo &
Co’s express car at Fairbanks, on
Thursday evening, had been captured
near Pearce, Arizona, >by the Tomb-
stone posse.
Jos. Dunlap, familiarly known as
Three-fingered Jaok. who was captured
near Tombstone, says that he was de-
serted by his companions and left to die
on the desert. Dunlap was the leader
of the band of desperadoes who held
np the Arizona and New Mexico train
at Fairbank last week.

The island grabbers of the Republi-
can administration are cutting a sorry
figure.
They tell us that when the Philip -
pines shall have been pacified, then,
their policy towards those islands will
be made known. They seem to forget
that Puerto Rico has been pacified and
has been awaiting the verdict. Bnt till
now that verdict is suspended and the
grabbers don’t know what to do.
The present administration has no
stronger supporter than the New York
Snn, which blindly Iovbb everything
that smells of McKinleyism and yet
even this blind turncoat organ of trusts
and vassal of Ifod Almighty takes the
following view of this injustice. It
says:

Edward McBride, one of the old-tim-
