Thb Optic says: "El Paso has planted
a very large number of young trees. Las
Vegas should follow the example."
The interstate commission is hearing
complaints against railroads from all
parts of the country. Yet a few adven-
turers in this city deny us the same right
that other sections enjoy of making their
grievances known.
The Santa Fe road deals in coal. It
therefore behooves that road to keep up
the price of that commodity. Why it
can haul ore uver the same track and
same distance for less than it hauls coal?
Coal is not ore in its schedule. Yet it
pretends to favor El Paso. »
Facts which the Times has brought
out show not only that the Santa Fe rail-
road is charging over three times as much
as other roads for hauling coal, bu t that
the same road between the same points
hauls ore for $3.40 per ton and charges
$4.55 per ton for coal.
T«e record of the Santa Fe road
towards El Paso is easy of access, and it
reflects little credit on itB "friendly''
attitude towards a city that will grow
regardless of that road's enmity. We
will never foeget the bull team freighting
from El Paso to Las Cruces and to other
towns up along the Santa Fe route at a
time when our city was trying to estab-
lish its wholesale trade.
HELP THE DEAF AND DUMB.
The state institute for the education of
the deaf and dumb send out to the peo-
ple of Texas through the prees the fol-
lowing circular :
This institution has been established
for the purpose of educating every child
within the borders of Texas that is too
deaf to receive instruction in the public
schools. It is distinctively a school where
tho sound mind are educated, not an
asylum where imbeciles are sent jto be
kept, and it is the only place in the
state where the deaf may receive instruc-
tion. The institution is supported entire-
ly by the state, is virtually a part of our
public school system, and every deaf per-
son, in the state, of sound mind, between
1 the ages of ten and twenty one, may be
seat here for instruction, with no expense
to the parents, except for railroad
fare and clothing. Board, tuition and
books are furnished by the state. Ar-
rangements have been made with nearly
all the railroads by which half rates may
be secured for the" children when they
come in the fall and go in the spring.
In addition a fund is also set aside to
pay the railroad fare and buy the cloth-
ing for those children whose parents are
shown upon good and satisfactory evi-
dence to'be so poor that they cannot ob-
tain the same, this latter arrangement be-
ing intended, however, only to provide
for the needy and worthy, not to encour-
age mendicancy. Thus the state has
done everything reasonable and just,
and tho means of obtaining an edu-
cation arc thereby placed within the reach
of all; if some deaf grow up in ignorance
therefore, and we have no doubt there are
many, it is due either to the lack of in-
formation on the part of parents and
guardians, as to the existence or character
of this school, or to a wilful disregard of
the children's best interests. In both
of those cases the editor of the home
newspaper, being a man of influence in
his community, could help us very mate-
rially; we might through county authori-
ties get the names of most deaf children,
but he could do more in a few minutes
of personal solicitation than we could by
sending circulars or writing a number of
letters. He could give information
where required, and through the confi-
dence which his position, inspires he
might, wherever there is reluctance on
the part of parents, induce them to send
their child.
Wc want every deaf child in the state,
of school age, sent to us and we a9k the
newspaper men, who generally lead in
whatever promotes intelligence and good
citizenship, to use their influence toward
having this unfortunate class of our peo-
ple educated and made self-sustaining.
If there are no deaf within your reach,you
would oblige us and render a service to
those who are growing up ignorant and
hopeless by handing this paper to your
county judge or superintendent or any
one who, by his situatiou, might be able
to render the desired service. Parents
desiring to enter a child may write the
superintendent of the institution for an
application blank, which when properly
filled and returned is acted upon as to
the fitness of the child for entrance here.
The institution is of a dual character; in
addition to scholastic education, manual
training is provided for. So if desired
each boy may learn a trade and t e
therefore made independent, and girls
receive instruction in needle work, Lend
us your aid, friends, in getting into
school all deaf children, that they may
be brought up to useful manhood and
womanhood.
A fkw days ago Albuquerque sent out
an Associated Press dispatch saying that
the melting of the heavy snows in Colo-
rado would cause the Rio Qrande to
overflow its banks and wash away small
towns along its line. The Tucson Star
that dity headed its telegraphic page:
f "The Rio Grande overflowing its banks
from the melting snows." The fact is,
the snow has not yet begun to melt and
the prophet from Albuquerque is seeing
the danger of that small town, wanted
company in his misery.
Thb Timm was very much annoyed to
find a mention in its columns yesterday
dying that Booth aig Barrett would
hot be here February 24th, when the
fact is that on that date thoso world re
Downed tragedians will appear here. The
"copy" furnished the printer was cleai
and distinct and the "not "was unin-
tentionally added by him. Our proof
reader did not detect tho error because
he depends on his proof reading for the
sews and it was a newt item either way.
Mr. Cole, the printer who ' improved"
on the "copy," hat been heavily fined
aod is ready to pay for an ad. in the
Timbs such aa the injured managers may
deaire. We readily see the great harm
that could follow such an error by the
wide circulation of our paper, bat we
hope th's correction will counteract any
Ich effect,
The New York Herald sent a corres-
pondent to Los Angeles to report upon
the real estate movement which the
boomers" have started there. The cor-
respondent's picture of the condition of
southern California iB discouraging. He
says Los Angeles is overdone, that it is
overrun with real estate swindlers, and
he advises eastern capitalists not to in-
vest there.—Denver Republican.
Swindlers present themselves in all lo-
calities, and as long as the law is en-
forced there is no reason for complaint.

The Bankers'Monthly says: In Bue-
nos Ay res there is a bank which has a
paid up cupital of $57,000,000, deposits
of $35,000,000, and a line of discounts
amounting to $60,000,00®. Great as iB
the United Stated in extent and wealth,
the whole country was convulsed at one
time, a few years ago, by a New York
proposition to form a bank with only
$10,000 000 capital. As we contemplate
a government bank at Washington with
$600,000,000 with comparative indiffer
ence our ideas of figures are enlarging.

A prohibitionist says: "Chicago,
which introduced tho nostrum of high
license some years ago as a cure for
drinking, has had more and more flour-
ishing saloons ever since, and more of
the fruits of the drint traffic. Her
Christmas, from the criminal record, ap-
peals to have been a saturnalia." A
Chicago paper answers these charges
thus: "Tho above assertions are quite
untrue; yet, we only notice it from tbt
financial point. The regul. t on of Ka-
loons has been greatly aided and the rev-
enue of the city from this sourc*, (a foim
of tine or penalty) is very large, and Chi-
cago has 2,000 less saloons than if the old
law were in operation. It ia the only
way possible for orderly citizens to mact
this question in the presence of adverse
public opinion by majority aa to prohi-
bition."
