JhebeJs generally—supposed to
be trouble brewing in J£'.igl*n«l.
Republicanism, Socialism and Ni-
hilism are rap dly increasing and
scions of many a noble house a^-ropa
the ocean -are quietly investing
their funds in Texas lands and
stock.
Mexico is fast coming to the
front as a coffee producing country
and ere long will be sup-
plying all the beverage that is con-
sumed in the United States. Let
Mexicans send their coffee to the
merchants here in El Paso and ex-
change a large trade in manufac-
tured good* and f-»rm implements.
There is undoubtedlv^something
very mysterious about the Doughty
case. Public opinion is very sel-
dom entirely at fault, and the gen-
eral approba io i that the action of
the Times in regard to the matter
has received sets forth clearly that
"the oourse pursued h;is be-.-n a just
one." The whole case deserves speedy
investigation on the part of the
public. The time has gone by
•when' lawlessness and evil doing
reigned supreme, and the citizens of
El Paso must make their voices
heard and their will obeyed.
Certain officials have complain-
ed to us of the course the Times
has thought right ttvadopt in sev-
erely criticising and condemning the
action on the part of the authori-
ties in regtrd to the Doughty af-
fair. T e8e gentleman have a per-
fect right to protest, but we shall
not moderate our language nor
change our policy. For the pres-
ent we make no particular charge
agains* anybody, simply a general
condemnation of all concerned. St
no distant day we shall be in a po-
sition to make a specific charge
ag linst certain persons connected-
with the cus*. but shall follow it up
by inaugurating criminal proceed-
ings against them. A lot of evi-
dence has found its way into the
hands of the Times and jut-tice shall
be accorded the offenders ere long.

He sat tffldvr the shade of an
awmng. leaning against the coruei
of an adobe house, thr same ol-t
Mt xic.iH who for weeks has haUi t-

fell in tangled profus on over ntb
<gr.m, wrmkied v.sage, and liiS ey*s,

seemed to defy Time tc dim tnei«

m..nd. He belonged to an age, the
highest requirement of which was
to be the humble peon of a power-
ful grandee. He led his life inno-
cent of the knowledge that nature
demanded progrefcsion, ..nfcver
di earned of tne coming day, when
progress should undermine the
ldtas upon which it was foundtd,
and leave him aged and despised
by a generation which had broken
from all that beheld dear, and which
held in contempt those things
which he had venerated. Time has
swept over him and left him the
wreck of an age gone by, to look
around him and behold every the-
ory of life he ever cherished refuted,
-every hope dettroytd, to io >k and
gate and wonder and mourn a life
-of uselessness. His bowed head
rested upon his hand and a tear
trickled from his eye, and he arose
from his. recumbent position and
pensive musings, his long staff lent
him aid to the middle of the plaza
where he stood and watched the
iron columns of a new building
arise and htar the lusty shouts of
young Mexican laborers erecting a
mansion where once his humble
ad.jbe stood, and as the, great pul-
leys creaked, the cordage strained
and the immense columns swung
into their places, he drew his hand
across bid wiinkled brow, Bhook hi*
head and slowly went an ay.
We clip the following from an
Austin pap»»r:
"B>n Thompson, the Austin
Jplioot^r,' I a9 gone to Monterey
with a re ative of Miller, wl o wt B
ki'led by the Mexican jvd ce. It is
not known whether Thompson's
mis-don is for p^.#cn or the extermi-
nation of the Mexicans'"
It is to be hoped, for the sake of
Mr. Ben Thompson, the Austin
"shooter," and his friend, that they
have gone t"> Monterey on a peace-
able mission, otherwise they m y
not return from Mexican soil Mi Her
was killed by the Mexicans, owing
to his own foolish error, and also to
his possession of forbidden weap-
ons. In a certain extent the fttal
affray^at1SI«>nterey in which Milier
lost Jus. life, arose from miscon-
struction^ nevertheless the Ameri-
can was to bl tme, and not the Mex-
icans. If fbrefguers attempt to
llrun'r i, Mexican town then they
must not be surprised at finding
themselves considerably "run" in-
stead.
It ig the duty of all citizens to
werk for the general good- of the
town and its community, and con-
sequently 1<t is the duty of all the
inhabitants of El Paso to promote
an American-Me*ican exhibition to
• be held hi El Paso sometime next
year. EL Pa^o/is peculiarly well
situated 4or an undertaking of this
description, placed as it < is on the
border of the two Republics, and
possessing the most extraordinary'
railway advantages that are to be
found fti the Gr< at Southwest. The
profits fa giined by the holding
of a largi exhibition in our town
jroul<Lbft simply enormous, end
the success of the undertaking, if
well organized and managed, is in
disputable.- S wne of the-principal
merchants and railroad officials in
Bl PaSo, t>> whom we have spoken
about this undertaking, are greatly
in favor of it, deeming it prac .ipa-
W«. a^y^tagrou* and wprthy of al I
Oar Country—Its Pursuits aud Pleasures.
Young men from the overcrow dtjd
and unhealthy cities, particularly
of the North, have in recent years
had their attention directed to
stoek raising, not only as a means
of profit, but for the recovery of
the greatest of all blessings, the
boon of health. Many have come
with the dollars in their Docket-
with which to invest and perma-
nently locate, while others have
have brought but a m^re pittance
tipon which to suh-ist for a few
weeks, a? d an awfully, bad coutih.
We have see them earned from
the passenger coach to the omni-
bus, and from the omnibus to the
hotel, and from the hotel to the ad-
jacent country, wheie they have
builded up their shattered consti-
tutions and made of themseives
vigorous and aotive men and useful
and respected citizens. The pure
air and health giving ex-
ercise incident to the
life of a Western Texas stockman
renders the occupation one that the
feeble young men of the overcrowd-
ed cities should long for. Over the
hills, dashing and tearing through
and along expansive valleys, where
the long grass waves and innumera-
ble flowers smile at you and ca-t
their sweet odors upon the air, you
return to your meal with the appe-
tite of a glutton and the diges ion
of an ostrich. The lungs drink in
the air that is a« pure as the driven
snow, and the muscles expand and
harden and the feeble man ;ga'h-rs
flesh, loses his weakness and devel-
ops his power. While he*lih come»,
prosperity follows it, and happiness
is but the natural eon-sequenceJ
There are opportunities forariy hon-
est, faiihful man, to build his
fortune as well as hi
health, and the cases, that suggest
themselves to us for mention are nu-
merous. Cat'le can be purchased
all the way from twelve dollars" to
twentyfive per head, and horses at
a6cut the s*me prices. The profits
are wonderful, and the "w»rry"
rather of the nature of pleasure.
Ad the wealthy stockmen' in West
ern Texas, men who are 'woirth Wl-
lioas ^jave crawhd upon the very,
bottom round of the iad<$er. We

called penniless—and at 11 within a

the- business, recover themsefves.

a^ they do eveiywhere, and it is a
ren.arkibie fact that j irors in the.-e
times, particaiarly in thinly popu-
l.ited counties, are generally cons i-
tu'ed of new-comers.. The law dis-
qualifies the o d settlers on the plea
of'having formed an opinion, or
they are not wanted by the prose-
cuting counsel for the reason that
they are noted for tightening the
screws whenever they have a chance
at a criminal,- There is the am-
plest protection here of life and
property. We* have of en wondered
why the yoUng men of the large
cities, who have means, do not
pack their grips and migrate in
cl'ubs and by the chartered car-load
to our regiotn, and e.-cape the rigors
of winter in the far north, er joy the
sports of the plains, chasing the
deer, the antelope and the bear, and
practicing on the turkey and quail
and prairie chickens, and numer-
ous other small game that abound
upon our praiiies and in the gulches
and canyons of our hills. Let all
come and see us, learn to know us,
enjoy our healthy climate, partake
of our iprosperity and our pleas-
ures.—Texas Live Stock Journal.
