question bat not carried away any demo-
crats. and at least 50,000 Germans will
be added to the democratic vote. And
th»y are iq to stay,too, if the party treats
them right, and it will do that," he said.
He is much encouraged in his race and
will spend his time between now and the
convention at Dallas and its vicinity,
because, as he said, he can see more
people from different parts of the state in
Dallas than in any other town cr city.
THE CITY ACEQUIA.
As the Dallas democratic convention
approaches the Texas newspapers begin
to fill up with state political news and
straws that show the way the wind is
blowing. El Paso furnishes only one
candidate for any state office but that one
is a strong one and' the reasons for his
success are soundly democratic and
purely patriotic.
We urge Major Geo. B. Zimpelman for
State Treasurer. He is the only one of
that brave handful of Texans in the tur-
bulent times when Governor Ross too
won the hearts of our people, who has
never been rewarded for the services
rendered the democracy of the state.
Every one of those veterans has been
crowned with honors, save Zimpelman,
alone, who being modest and unassuming
has devoted himself in the past to very
successful business ventures. Now he is
independently wealthy, and has been
prevailed upon by his friends to run for
state treasurer.
The propriety of his nomination for
that office by the democracy of the state
lies in the fact that the great German
element of the state deserves recognition
in the person of such a competent and
worthy representative. He has earned
the honor, let us becomingly bestow it
The San Antonio papers speak very
favorably of his candidacy. The Times
of that city in correcting a country
exchange which called for the old ticket
says:
There will be a rub with the old ticket.
Major Geo. B. Zimpelman and General
John M. Claiborne will be there.
The major is now in Dallas as the fol-
lowing paragraph from the News says:
Capt. G. B. Zimpielman, candidate for
state treasurer, is in the city. A News
representative called on him for an in-
terview, but he had nothing to say
except that the state is prosperous and
the outlook at present is that the demo-
cratic ticket will be elected in Texas by
at least 100,000 majority. "The tariff
We have just received the following
communication from one of the city ace-
quia patrons. While the Times agrees
with the writer as to the want of legality
of the proposed action and the necessity
of perpetuating the acequia rights, we do
not care to attack any citizen for busi-
ness ventures, whether successful or not,
and besides we believe the mentions
made by the author are somewhat incor-
rectly stated and altogether irrelevant.
The letter is strong on the water question
and voices the sentiment of nearly all
those who now enjoy acequia rights. It
says:
Mr. Editor:—A large majority of your
readers in this city is pleased to note that
you do not advocate the scheme by which
four or five men propose to monopolize
the water supply of this city and valley.
It is little less than astounding that such
a proposition should find advocates
among intelligent people. That a corpo-
ration should be organized with the
avowed object of robbing the people of
this valley of their vested riparian rights
and placing not only every householder
who has a grass plot or a few trees to
irrigate, but also every gardener and
farmer in the valley, under tribute, is a
proposition so bold and iniquitous that it
would at first blush appear strange that
men can be found hardy enough to advo-
cate it. Examination of the list of in-
corporators, however, discloses the name
of at least one would-be monopolist pure
and simply. Last year he got a corner
on meat and advanced the price twenty-
five to fifty per cent, and this year he
followed it up with a corner on ice
and advanced the price of the article
from fifty to a hundred per cent. If he
and his associates could by any possibil-
ity legally get their water scheme into
successful operation, our people would
soon find out that the present water com-
pany of Sylvester Watts is an angel of
light compared with the cheeky corpora-
tion that would fain run opposition to it
and multiply its iniquities a hundred
fold. But, thanks to the law! there is no
fear of this monstrous proposition ever
becoming anything more than the vagary
of a few monopolistic minds. The ditch
through this city does not belong to the
city, and the city council has no more
power to order its abandonment than it
has to order any settler in the valley to
abandon his farm. MQre than this, the
city cannot even legally refuse or neglect
to take care of this ditch; and if it should
attempt to do so it could be compelled by
mandamus or other legal step to do its
duty on the premises. The city govern-
ment, having assumed control of the
ditch, is legally bound to either continue
to operate it or else get the people whose
riparian rights are involved to reassume
control and thus relieve it of its self-im-
posed responsibility to every person own-
ing land along the ditch. But, suppose,
for argument sake, that the
city council has the power, and
should exercise it, of abandoning the
present ditch at the request of our dear
monopolistic friends ; would that prevent
the people from re-opening and operating
the ditch or building another one through
the city ? Our dear monopolistic breth-
ren should study up the law a little, and
they would find that there are certain in-
alienable rights of the people which no
city council or legislature can ignore or
legislate away. The incorporators should
hold a meeting at once and revise their
charter, making it cover some feasible
plan of operations, such as a corner on
flour, for instance. By the exercise of
considerable business foresight and tact
and the expenditure of a few thousand
dollars, they might possibly corner the
bread market and " cinch" the people of
El Paso for a few days, or possibly a
week. But they can never get a corner
on water or air until the fundamental
laws of the land are changed.
