in congratulations for their admirable
management and entertainment of El
Paso's thousands of visitors.
Spectacular Teddy of New York
is coming West, and the dispatch con-

‘will travel as a private citizen.” That
is a condescension on Teddy’s part.

Says the Houston Post: ‘ El Paso

crowd. But with a teachers’ conven-

visitors just what a remarkably lively

not have permitted too much rain in

The cheering information comes from

W .1. IIKYAN'S INSPIRATION.
Before he became the leader of the
Democratic party Hon. W. J. Bryan
was a newspaper reporter and a good
one. Joe Mitchell Chappie, editor of
the National Magazine relates an in-
teresting incident at the St. Louis con-
vention in 1890 when Mr. Bryan made
up his mind to run for the presidency.

Chappie, "elnoe I wee sitting at a re-
porter's desk adjoining Wm. J. Bryan

McKinley was nominated for the presi-

the Omaha World Herald man. Attir-
ed In a black alpaca coat, a ‘lay-down’
oollar and white lawn necktie, my first
impression of the busy worker was what
a splendid successor he would make to
Edwin Booth! His energy was not the-
atric, bnt dramatic. *
‘‘During the demontration that fol-
lowed the nomination and the adoption
of the gold standard plank, many of the
newspaper men stood npon their desks,
joining in the bnzzas, throwing copy
paper, telegraph blanks and everything
movable in the air.
"With lips closed tightly and an ex-
pression of defiance on his face, as he
hurried off the dispatches, William J.
Bryan madenp his mind then and there
to run for president, and the compara-
tively unknown newspaper man here
received an inspiration that a few weeks
later swept the Chicago convention as
a tidal wave. This is an instance show-
ing the subtle and unexpected inter-re-
lation of events in presidential cam-
paigns.”
IT IS SILVER PROSPERITY.
In the consular reports for June jnst
published and sent ont by the depart-
ment we find the following from Con-
sul Griffith of Matamoras, Mexico:
"Confidence in the stability of the
present business prosperity has been
conclusively shown during the past
winter by the increasing interest evi-
denced by prominent northern capital-
ists. Many have visited the republic,
not only in order to investigate pur-
chases previously acquired, bnt also to
make additional investments in favora-
ble agricultural and mining properties.
Such handsome dividends have been
realized from many of these invest-
ments that the owners are very enthusi-
astic. It is a well known fact that
the commercial interests of this country
are unaffected by labor disturb-
ances or panics. Mexico’s proposition
to decrease the present rate of taxation,
which will enable her to redeem out-
standing bonds bearing a high rate of
interest and to undertake many needed
public improvements, is the culminat-
ing proof of the excellent condition
of her treasury. While in some
branches of industry and trade, during
□ Now if Consul Griffith had been able
to send a different report, one detailing
a stagnation of all business interests in
Mexico, the Mark McKinley gang
would be gleefully holdiug up Mexico
to the inspection of the world as a hor-
rible example of the free coinage of sil-
ver policy.
Four years ago European and Amer-
ican money powers made a desperate
effort to induce Mexico to demonetize
silver and adopt the single gold stand-
ard. But President Diaz and the
statesmen of Mexico refnsed to surren-
der the control of their monetary sys-
tem to the men who control the gold
supply of the world. The,Mexican gov-
ernment clung to silver, and the wis-
dom of its policy is seen in the prosper-
ity that country is enjoying today.

Some Hojer* of Scalped Tickets In El Paso
Who had to Pay Fall Bate-Soma Recent
Decisions of Supreme Courts—Does not
Look Like the Ticket Buyer has Mach of
a Sh.wlnK.
Fourteen people who left El Paso on
the first section of the G. H. Wednesday
night were trying to travel on scalped
tickets. Their tickets were taken up
and they were required to pay full fare.
There were five people on the second
section with Scalped tickets, but they
left the train at the first stopping place.
Two important decisions have just
been made by the courts on the rights
of holders of railroad tickets and of the
railroads. The question as to whether
a railroad company has the right to con
fisoate a mileage ticket if presented for
passage by anybody bnt the original
purchaser has been decided in the af
firmative by the supreme court of New
Hampshire. The plaintiff in the case
waa accustomed to rent ont mileage
books at an advance on the price which
he paid the railroads for them. A con-
ductor of the Maine Central railroad
took up one of those books which was
presented by a passenger who purchased
it from the plaintiff, and he brought
suit to recover the amount he originally
paid for the mileage book. The supreme
court denied his right to recover, hold-
ing the conditions on which the mileage
book was issued were not contrary to
law or public policy, and, having vio-
lated the conditions the law affords the
plaintiff no relief.
The supreme court of Kansas has just
rendered a decision adverse to Thomas
Daugerfield, who started two years ago
from Kansas City to Ireland. He bought
a scaipers ticket to Kansas City and the
Topeka oonduotor honored the ticket,
bnt the one east of Kansas City took it
up and demanded that Dangerfield pay
his fare. The passenger refused and
was put off the train. He sued the com-
pany for $10,000 damages. The district
court of Osage county threw the case
out on a demurrer and Dangerfield ap
pealed to the supreme court. In affirm-
ing the decision of the lower court the
supreme court held that Dangerfield,
not being the original purchaser nor
having complied with the conditions
plainly written npon the ticket, was not
entitled to ride upon the same; that the
conditions of the contract were not
waived and the railroad company was
not estopped to refuse the ticket be
cause the agent of the comnanv to
whom it was first presented did u >• dis
cover the imposition, and when ih-t dis-
covery was made the company had thi
right to refuse to carry DBngsrfiield
further, and npon his failure to pay his
fare to require him to leave the train.
So it would seem that the man who
pays his money for a raijaoad ticke is
not allowed to use it as he would a
horse or anything else he bought. The
ruling* of the courts are in substance in two sections, taking baok to Houston
that while a man may pay the price about 400 excursionists.

of its tickets, the railroad reserves the
right to control the property It has
