The Herald can Rive the Times so
many parallels that the latter will
Boon tire of its efforts to discredit this
newspaper. It is a notorious faot that
the Associated Press is very often be
hind the times and is not seldom left
out in the cold completely. Witness
the Gillett matter when the Times
got left to begin with and then used
every Dosslble means to cover up Its
traoks branding its own Associated
Press dispatches "fakes" In its frantic
efforts to right itself before the people
and being forced at the last to ac
knowledge that it had been outwitted
at every turn by the Herald. The
parallels that have been published by
the Times in the last lew days are
legitimate prey. We are grateful to
that paper for them as they enable us
to use strong pressure on the Western
Press Association to which the Her
ald belongs bo that greater care will
be used. But where the Western as
sooiation makes a slip once the Asso
ciated makes three. The Times itself
has been scooped so many times by the
Herald not only in local news but
also in telegraph news notably during
the late war that it grasps t straws
in its efforts to regain some slight por-
tion of its former prestige. But in
order to fill up the ' voids caused by the
barrenness of its news it is compelled
to resort to the republication of an-
cient reprinted articles as "news."
As a pertinent illustration one out of
myriads we call attention to the par-
allel printed on this page. -
Without regard to the merits of
the case it must be clear to every bee
that Gen. Eagan committed a fearful
breaoh of military and official etiquette
in speaking as he did concerning Gen.
Miles. Certainly such an exhibition
oan not help having a demoralizing
influence on the American army and
the president oan hardly let the matter
pass unnoticed. It is true that assur-
ance was given at the time the in-
vestigation of the war was begun that
no witness should suffer for anything
he might say before the commission
but it is doubtful if that proviso covers
Buch disgraceful outbursts of personal
vituperation as Gen. Eagan was guilty
of in the course of his testimony. It
would be a very good -thing if he
should take the advice of the commis-
sion and strike out the objectionable
words from the manuscript of his tes
timony not because he has changed
his mind but for the good of the ser-
vice and in the interest of proper discipline.
Some of the proposed charter amend-
meats the Herald heartily approves.
Some it does not. We believe how-
ever that there can be no objection
from any quarter to the proposition
that elections shall hereafter be held
in this city only once in two years
The constantly recurring elections
with their campaigns calling forth all
the heated nolitical strife of which this
community 1b capable reBult inevita
blv in ioiurv to the business interests
of the town not to eay our municipal
morals. When two elections come in
the same year as in 1898 the result is
an almost continuous campaign and
nothing can be gained by the constant
agitation. A strong effort should cer
tainly be made to clean up the city in
a political sense and then let politics
rest for a while.
As the Herald has before stated it
is decidedly opposed to making the of-
fice of chief of police an eieotive one
There can be nothing gained by lessen
ing the responsibility of the mayor
of the city for the due enforcement of
the lawB. This would certainly result
if the ohief of police were elected by
the people. There is nothing to show
that any better men would be secured
than under the present method. In
fact It would have the effect of mak-
ing the office still more a political
prize than it is now and still it would
be harder than now to fix the responsi
bility.
There is abundant evidence that
the reforms that have taken place in
the balloting methods of the various
states during the last few years have
had marked effect upon the elections
making them not only purer and more
easily conducted but causing a great
decrease in the number ' of contests.
This year in twenty-two states the gov-
ernors elected last fall take office with
out the slightest friction. There have
been no contests or appeals to the
courts. It looks as if the next congress
will have few disputes to settle. These
are hopeful signs.
No police officer should be permitted
to take active part in elections. Th's
matter could be easily "reached if we
had a mayor and a chief of police who
had some conception of their duty in
this regard. But if it be necessary to
change the city charter in order to at
tain this very desirable end then we
should like to Bee the charter chang
ed.
During the year 1898 when train
robberies were of frequent occurrence
in the United States and the number
was increasing to a deplorable extent
there was not a single train robbery in
Mexico. Our sister republio punishes
train robbery with death.
Reform Id Louisville.
The Louisville Post says:
The
oramblino-rooms are dark.
dusty and
deserted :the faro dealer's box has been
turned unslde down: the whirl of the
roulette wheel has been silenced; the
dice and chips have ceased to rattle
merrily upon the green cloth: the lit-
tle blind boy who drew winning num-
bers in the lottery has lost his job;
blazing circulars giving 'dates and
places of tbe meeting of prize fighters
who are 'hot rags' are not to be seen
while the thrilling announcement that
'they're off at .New uneans sure
Thing in the lead' is no longer heard.
Verily the claws of the Louisville tiger
have been extracted not trimmed."

On the first page of the Chicago Re
cord of January 7 was a large pioture
taken from a photograpo oi tne de
parture of the Spanish commander
from Havana. The picture shows
about twenty men walking down the
street. Among those named was Cap-
tain Juan Hart of El Paso who had
acted as assistant secretary of the
evacuation commission. Judging from
the picture Captain Hart did not
starve while in Havana. In fact he
has grown an abdomen that will be the
envy of Col. Bill Fewel. Lordaburg

THE SIMPLE FUNERAL OF COLONEL
MABRY
A Tribute of Love From the Soldiers
In Cuba
Correspondence New Orleans Picayune
Headauarters Second Louisiana Re
oriment. Buena Vista. Near Havana
Cuba. Jan. 6. The death of Colonel
Mabrv of the First Texas regiment
took place yesterday evening at 6:30
o'clock. He had been very dangerous
ly sick since Saturday tie was
not in rood health when he left Savan
nah but saemed better when hejlanded
In Havana. This was a very brief im
provement as- a day or two later his
Illness was announced and the fol
lowing day it was pronounced
grave. He was a victim of pneumonia
with some complications such as usual
ly cause the fatal termination of such
cases of sickness.
The body was taken to an under
taker's establishment in Havana yes-
terday evening and left on a steamer
lor Home today. Tbe funeral ex
ercises in camp took place at 6 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. The body had
previously been placed in a handsome
casket and reposed in the colonel's
tent under the regimental flag. A
sentinel paced to and fro before the
tent. At the appointed hour Colonel
Dwyer ordered the regiment formed
in line of masses facing the tent and
the coffin was brought out and placed
on two camp stools In the open space
thus inclosed. A little group of of
ficers formed on either Bide
Major General Keifer Brigadier
General Hasbrooke Colonel wood
Colonel Vifqualn Colonel Duiour
Colonel Creager Major Soott Colonel
McClay a number of the officers of
General Keifer's staff and the members
of the first brigade staff. Several
ladies were present.
The scene was indescribably impres-
ive. The light was very slowly fad
ing and the faint breeze stirred the
flag resting on the coffin. The coffin
was brought out from tbe tent by six
sergeants from tbe regiment. As soon
as it was in position Chaplain Watts
took his place at the head and the re
giment came to parade rest. n.very
body else stood bareheaded. The chap
lain read the brief service appropriate
to the ocoasion..The solemn words "In
the morning it cometh up as a flower
and in the evening it is cut down" fell
with melancholy insistence. As Boon
as thejohaplaln concluded the sergeants
stepped forward and as they raieea tne
coffin to their shoulders the wuoie re
giment presented arms and the band
began to play "In the sweet y ana
By. " The little procession marched to
an ambulance which wbb in waiting.
and there it was placed in the position
in which it was brought to Havana.
Then the procession formed tbe re
giment marohing in column of forms
at the head preceded by the band
After the ambulance walked the pall
bearers who were Colonel Wood re-
presenting the brigade; Colonel
Duiour. representing tne secona
Louisiana: Colonel Vifqualn re
presenting the Third Nebraska Major
Scott the division adjutant; Colonel
McClay of tbe Third Nebraska ana
Colonel Creage. tbe division quarter
master: General Hasbrooke marched
behind the pallbearers. Then
oame a second ambulance
containing the traveling oase or outer
coffin. An army wagon followed con
taining the guard which was assigned
to watch the body during the night.
The. closing part of the column was
composed of a number of mounted offi
cers from the regiments etc. The
column was nearly a quarter of a mile
long. It marched down the road
through the camps between rows of
men standing bareheaded and reveren
tially: down to the military road and
thence about a mile to the bridge over
tbe Conongo river. Here the regi
ment formed in double line facing in
towards the road and presented arms
while the ambulance passed followed
by the wagons and the escorts.
At this point tbe official parade
broke up and tbe regiment returned to
the camp. But the body with an
escort from the First Texas besides
the guard proceeded to town where the
coffin was deposited in an undertaking
establishment where it was encased
in metal. In the morning it was taken
aboard the Lincoln a vessel running
from this point to Miami. It will be
sent back to Texas for interment.
