TBVTE8 PUBLISHING COMPANY,
R1 Paso. Terse
The Ilerald'ernploys two meth-
ods to dodge an argument. When
caught’out in'the rain by a legal
question its argument is: “Well,
so and so is a lawyer and he
ought to know,” but if it is a ques-
tion of every day facts it cries:
“the people are with the Herald!”
That question of the people being
with the Herald and the Herald
being with the people has been
passed upon several times by the
people, who by their votes de-
clared that the Herald was not
any where in their neighborhood.
But it would be foolish to attempt
a discussion with a dodger.
The sad death of James It.
Smith, followed by the Times’
timely warning Sunday morning,
has aroused our people on the
subject of protection against mad
dogs. El Paso is over run with
worthless canines and a large
number of fine pet dogs are al-
lowed to run loose on the streets.
The shot gun or the muzzle are
the only remedies to prevent
other each deaths as poor Smith
snffered.
The following is from the Las
Vegas Optic, the leading Republi-
can paper in the southwest:
Postmaster J. A. Smith, of El
Paso, has been arrested for refus-
ing to let the El Paso Times pass
through the mails. It seems that
th6 Times published something
about the decision of the supreme
court of Louisiana, concerning
the lottery of that state, and
Postmaster Smith rejected the
Times from the mails because of
that fact, saying that the paper
had published the same thing
twice, and consequently, the sec-
ond publication was in the nature
of an advertisement of the lottery
The fact is that this whole thing,
on the part of the government, is
an effort to exercise a censorship
over the press, which is contrary
to American institutions, even if
it be not actually unconstitutional.
We would like to see a test case
made and the matter arrived at
through the highest conrts.
While the Optic is a partisan
republican paper it is conducted
with editorial ability and is not
too narrow-minded to realize that
the El Paso post office incident
is a dangerous menace to the
freedom of the press and if al-
lowed to pass unnoticed will set
a precedent for further encroach-
ments upon that freedom and re-
sult in making the postmaster of
every little cross road town a
censor of the press. The real
newspaper men of the entire
country are with the Times in
this tight, but unfortunately
there are to be found, here and
there, a newspaper—so called-
controlled by men who have no
conception of the duties of' the
press, of its high responsibilities
and of the necessity of leaving it
entirely untrammeled. The ama-
teur managers of the so-called
newspapers have no higher aim
than to prostitute the columns of
their papers to keeping alive
petty party spites. In a campaign
for the election of a constable
they are in their glory.
There is no politics in the
Times’ light. It is simply a protest
against unlawful official officious-
ness that emperils the freedom of
the press.
The Denver Republican a zeal-
ous supporter of the administra-
tion has this to say:
The postmaster at El Paso
seems to be an arbitrary official.
The other day he excluded from
the mails the entire mail edition
of the El Paso Times because it
contained a synopsis of the deci-
sion of the Louisiana Supreme
Court upon the question of wheth-
er the proposition of the Louis-
iana Lottery Company should be
submitted to a vote of the people.
The publication of this synopsis
was in no sense of the word an
advertisement of a lottery. It
was a matter of judicial informa-
tion, to be classed with an ac-
count of the conviction of a man
for violating the anti-lottery law.
Apparently the El Paso postmas-
ter has not a very high regard
for the freedom of the press.
The New-Orleans Times-Demo-
crat of the 15th says:
We are glad to see that the El
Paso postmaster is to be made to
answer for his arbitrary conduct
in the conrts; and it would be well
for the country if Mr. Rathbone
also were to be sharply reminded
of his duty in connection with his
carrying out of the anti-lottery
act. Mr. Ilathhone has not alone
willfully caused the act to be
broken over and over again, with
the not very lofty motive of pun-
ishing political opponents, as in
the cases of the New Orleans
States, Mobile Register, Atlanta
Constitution and El Paso Times,
but he has been convicted of deli-
berate untruth in his floundering
attempts to escape from the
charge which we laid and proved
against him that he was guilty of
securing the illegal opening of
sealed letters.
The heads of the administra-
tion ought to take a hand in this
matter of opening letters and
confiscating newspapers under.
the ostensible shelter of the act. |
The people anyway will hardly
remain patient forever when they
see a law, which at best is ques-
tionable, nsed by Federal officials
as a handy weapon with which to
adjust political differences and
gratify private spite.
-- -----•—■--.--—
The boom has struck El Paso
in earnest, and it is here to stay.
The eastern capitalists who last
Saturday invested $200,000 in El
Paso real estate will immediately
commence improving their prop-
erty by laying it ofFinto lots with
nicely paved streets and avenues,
and as soon as this is done build-
ing will be commenced. The
gentlemen who made this pur-
chase are shrewd operators and
they inspected property from
Puget Sound to Georgia before
deciding in favor of El Paso.
They saw here the most desirable
opportunity to make a fortune on
their investment.

Various Hues.
Every once in a while the African
mind will evolve an expression that has
a wealth of grotesque poesy in it. An
elderly man who is employed about one
of the public buildings in this city was
heard to remark:
“ 1 dunno what I’se gwine ter do for
close foh all ob my family ?”
“Have you a large family, uncle?”
said one of the clerks in a quizzical tone.
“ Deed 1 is—seben chillun.”
“ Are they all the same color as you ?”
“ No, sah ; dey varies, rangin’ all de
