CHARLES ANDERSON DANA
New York October 18. The Sun's
announcement this morning of death
of its editor was almost pathetic in its
simplicity. The news columns were
dumb but at the top of the first
column on the editorial page is in or-
dinary type: "Charles Anderson Dana
editor of the Sun died yesterday after
noon."
Being a man intolerant of shame
and intellectual feebleness Dana
frequently fell afoul of his less brilliant
and sometimes self seeking New York
contemporaries. Lately ha scored the
Tribune as a liar and thi Herald as a
fraud and this mornine those two pa
pers are silent. The World to whom
he always showed unceasing enmity is
al.o silent.
This morning's Times says: "No
urnalist in this city none indeed in
the country could b eo peculiarly
missed as will be Mr. Dana. - Of what
may be called editor he was master
master by possession of intellectual
qualities that can be called great."

EDITOR NEW YORK SUN DEAD.
gives a short biography of Charles H.
Dana: "Born at Huisdale N. H.
August 8 1819. He studied two years
at Harvard university did not
graduate owing to a disease of the
eyes but received the decree of A. M.
He edited the Harbinger was a con
tributor to the Boston Chronotype
wai connected with the JNew York
Tribune from 1847 to 1858 and then be
came editor of the New York Sun. He
also edited the "Household Book of
poetry and in connection with Geore-e
RiDley edited the American Cyclo-
pedia." He was assistant secretary of
war unaer president Liincoln in
1863-64."
Mr. Dana was an old time editor
contemporaneous with Horace Greeley
the elder James Gordon Bennett
Thurlow Weed and others who were
prominent in moulding the political
and moral opinions of hia day. He
outlived all his contemporaries and
with bis demise there passes away the
last of the great editors.
Is Willing to Debate.
The Rev. Dr. Martin in hia discourse
on Science and the Bible last Sunday
evening utterly failed of his. aim in
his atcempt to prove the consistency
between the two. Hia talk was very
superficial and such copious displays of
pedantry has no effect upon sober
science whatever.
He entertained the audience very
highly but only represented his side
ot the question while the opposite side
remained open to his merciless attacks
and invectives.
Now if the learned doctor is made of
the material that he says he is he will
defend his side of the question before
an El Paso audience and the public will
be shown how grossly he has misrepre-
sented science and scientists.
If Dr. Martin is open to controversy
we are not hard to find and will meet
him any time. Critic.

The Political Couditions that Prevail
Throughout the State and Nation.
J. A. Smith returned this morning
from Dallas where he had been attend-
ing the meeting of the state republican
executive committee.
In regard to the appointment of the
collector of customs at this port Mr.
Smith said that while away he met
parties who were thoroughly posted
who told him the following facts re-
garding the appointment of a collector
here: Mr. Grant is a strong Campbell
man and wlli hold out for Col. Camp-
bell until the appointment is made. He
says that Col. Campbell has the en-
dorsement of a large number of origin-
al McKinley men in the s'-ate and tnat
this-suoflort originated rieht from Pres
ident McKinley w ho looked upon Col.
Campbell as one of his lieutenants dur-
ing the time plana were beine- mads to
run McKinley for president in 1895 aod
while Col. Campbell was' mayor of El
Paso.
There was nothinsr against Moan
Dillon but that he had never been
prominent in the politics of the statu
and he did not believe that Dillon
should be appointed even if CamDbell
did not get it but that the office would
go to some man who had made him
self prominent in politics in the state
and in the fight for McKinley. Mr.
Dillon had the support of all the rail-
road organizations in the state and was
also supported by a number of promin-
ent republicans besides the support he
is receiving from the El Paso repub-
licans. However the administration
does not look upon the office of collec
tor as a local office and local influences
would not cut much of a figure in tha
fiht.
Dr. Grant stands stronir with the
president and out of all the presiden-
tial appointments made in the state he
has only lost but few offices for people
whom he recommended and these
appointments were made over hia re
commendations only by different in
fluences in which the parties who were
appointed had strong attachments on
the president himself.
if Mr. Dillon erets the appointment it
will be through the efforts of the rail
road people and the stronsr work done
by bis friends in El Paso.
Mr. U. S. Stewart returned from
Washington this morning by the Santa
Fe and was seen shortly after his ar-
rival by a Herald reporter. In
answer to an inquiry as to how the
tight for the collectorship stood at
Washington Mr. Stewart said:
1 went to Washineton and Rich
mond on private business but while in
Washington I made some inquiry in re-
gard to the appointment of a collector
at thia post. I was informed on relia
ble authority that the matter would
not be taken up until after the Ohio
election. After the election the fisrht
will be taken up in earnest -and will
then be fought out to a finish. Of
course I cannot say who will be ap
pointed aa the administration has not
yet thoroughly investigated the mat
ter. The administration mav. however.
take the matter up before the Ohio
election but if they do it will be be-
cause of some change in the situation
since I was in Washington."
Fears for a Horseman's Safety.
Great anxiety is felt at the City of
Mexico regarding the fate of Aueustin
Cazeaux a well known American citi
zen and a native of New Orleans who
went with some race horses to Guate-
mala a month ago. He was expected
back but has not yet returned. He -
won a number of races In Guatemala
City one of which was over a horse
owned by Gen. Barrios. In thus allow
ing nis horse to win over that of the
Guatemalan president he did not show
as just an appreciation of the situation
as he might have done. Word ia anx-
iously awaited at the city from the
missing man for it is feared that he
may have bem slain in the warfare
into which the country has' been
plunged for some time.
Mr. Cazeaux was formerly a well
known merchant in this city and ia a
brother-in-law of Mrs. Frank Wells
Brown.
Deafness Cannot Be Cared
by local applications as they cannot
reach the disaased portion of the ear.
There is only one way t cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian tube. When this tube is in
flamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing and when it is en-
tirely closed deafness is the result and
unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed
rorever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by catarrh which is nothing but an in-
flamed condition of the muooua Bur-
faces. We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cura. Send for circulars; free.
