THE RELIABLE SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
The Globe-Democrat is after (be wool
of its El Paso correspondent. It seems
that this knight of the quill telegraphed
the G. D. about 250 words last Saturday
night, dishing up the miserable canard
about the revolution of the priests in the
City ol Mexico, and sending it in as the
details of a great attempted rise against
the government. The G.-D. thought it
looked fishy and suppressed it. Closing
a three-quarter column article on the
subject the G. D. says :
The El Paso dispatch to the Globe-
Democrat was also sent to the New York
Herald, and from that paper was tele
graphed to various points, including St.
Louis. It locked to our readers on Sun»
day morning as if we had failed in ob-
taining and printing a very important
piece of news. But we still believed that
the whole thing was a hoax, and that
the facts would vindicate this belief. We.
sent dispatches early in the day to the
City of Mexico briefly stating the con-
tents of the El Paso report, and asking
for information or contradiction. Finally,
at!) o'clock last night, we received the
following from the man who sent the
original and startling dispatch of Satur-
day night:
El Paso, Texas, December 30.—My
yesterday's special about a clerical up-
rising in the City of Mexico proves a
hoax, got up by Chihuahua papers for
the especial benefit of El Paso. Like all
people in this city I was taken in. Not
wmiting that you should miss what all
thought an important newB item, I for-
warded on the spur of the moment. Very
sorry, but fully det"rmiqed not to be
caught again.
This special scribe may make his peace
with his outraged employe as best he can
but in doing so he must tell the truth
when his statement affects other people.
He says: "Like all people in this city I
was taken in. '' Now as a fact he was
one of the few people in El Paso who
were taken in. The idea of such import
ant news coming to El Paso by Chihua-
hua newspapers. It was laughed at all
over the city. And while this inuocent
specialist was writing his «reat dispatch
of revolution and bloodshed, the Timen
local man was penning the following
little article which was all the Timks
published on the subject December 30:
A stoky from tub city ok mexico that
is 11K1.IKVED to uk a can a iii).
Chihuahua newspapers that arrived
yesterday morning contained thrilling
sensational accounts of an alleged slaugh
ter of priests in the City of Mexico. The
story is that a papisli uprising took place.
that the clerical party won over 18,000 of
the government troops at the outset, that
President Diaz, with his loyal troops,
had a pitched battle with the insurrec-
tionist? and that after severe fighting the
government troops were victorious. This
alleged uprising is the alleged cause of
the alleged execution of two or three
hundred priests. As All Innocent's Day
has just been celebrated, a day that in
Mexico corresponds to April Fools' Day
in the United States, the reported trouble
in Mexico is believed here to be a huge
hoax.
It is about time that the Globe Demo
UUUIUttU
crat and other dailies Were stopping ^ pagQ
much of the "slush" that is sent out from
El Paso as "specials."
Since the newspapers and public men
f Canada have so mercilessly ridiculed
nod denounced Ben Buttirworth's bill
f ir union with Canada, tint great states-
man, together with the jingo element in
the senate, has kept very quiet. The
jingo newspapers arc, however, keeping
up a running fire and saying some very
silly things, caring nothing for consist-
ency or even truth One of them prints
this trash one day:
Several of our statesmen who are spec*
ially noted for their temperate and con-
servative method of dealing with all
issues have declared their belief that the
logic of events will certainly make that
country a part of the United States at
some future time; and there are others,
more eager and sanguine, who hold that
such an event can not be delayed beyond
a few years, and that the initiatory steps
on our part should be taken at once. The
proposition is not viewed with so much
favor in Canada—at least by her public
men and her newspapers; but it is under-
stood that the people would be disposed
to take a friendly view of it in case cer-
tain valuable concessions should be
offered. There is still another party to
be considered, of course. Nothing enn
be done without the consent of Great
Britain; and it is easy to see that she
might have objections that could be re-
moved only at the cost of a war, if it
should ever come to that.
Now just how this Jingo understands
that the people (of Canada) would, be
disposed to take a friend'y view of it in
case certain valuable concessions should
be offered," he does not say. We sup-
pose he would send Matt Quay and John
Wanamaker, that new fledged ohristian
statesman, over to Canada to bribe the
people, or as he puts it, offer ccrtain val
liable concessions. A day or two after
this journal gives out the following,
which is a rather conflicting piece of
wisdom :
Some of the Canadian papers appear to
be indignant at the proposals made in
this country for union with the Domin-
ion. If these journals represent the sen-
timent of their section this settles the
matter. Not one person in twenty-live
in the United States is at all anxious for
the absorption of Canada. The people
who would gain most under such a scheme
as this are the Canadians, and the Cana
dians would have to take the lead in
bringing it about if a political union of
the two countries ever takes place,
Canada is eminently sensible to hold
such fellows as Butterworth, Sherman,
Blaine and their journals in contempt.
Since Canada has proved so cold, is it nol;
a good time to test the coolness of the j
Mexican shoulder on annexation 1 !

A revoIjT is springing up in the re
publican party of New Mexico. The
great visit of Rynerson and Catron to In-
dianapolis seems to be interpreted by
some to mean "boss rule." Here is the
way one party journal puts it:
Office-holding is not hereditary in New
Mexico, nor do we believe in a political Kea' estate, furniture anil iixt
dynasty, such as was recently formed at
Socorro, and which Col. Rynerson and
Thos, Catron are now at Indianapolis in-
troducing to General Harrison as "Home
rule," Emphatically we are in favor of
home rule, but not under the decaving
and obnoxious boss system which they
seek to perpetuate upon the free and in-
telligent voters of this territory. These
gentlemen should understand that the re
publican party of 1888 is quite another
class of voters than over which they held
full sway ten years ago. They mnst be
made to understand that we have progress
d, that the southwestern counties of the
territory have settled been up by a class
of men who read and write. Men whose
ballots you cannot fold up a week before
the election in a piece of paper and on
the day of election vote it just as it was
given to them. The Socorro syndicate
should be retired as gracefully as pos-
sible. Col Iiynerson should stay on his
ranch under probation fur some time to
come.
It is probably tiue, as declared by Qenj
eral Paisons, of Virginia, that the people
of his state "are not looking for patron-
age, but for prosperity." They are in-
terested, of course, in having the offices
filled by capable and honest men, but
they know very well that patronage may
easily prove to be more of a curse than
an advantage. This feeling is general
throughout the south, according to all
accounts; and General Harrison is wise
enough to understand that he cannot
afford to appoint obnoxious men in that
section under any circumstances,—Re-
publican Exchange.

Triosic 18 republican congressmen from
the south are standing quite "solid."
They are organized for recoeuition in the
next congress. They want a southern
republican in the cabinet, they want the
doorkeeper of the house, and several
committee chairmanships. They are
likely to get what tfiey want. The best
thing the solid 18 has done so far was to
refuse to support Mahone for a cabinet
position. If they keep on doing things
like that they may prove a real blessing.
Piiom a recent issue of the Two Re-
publics we see that the Coquelin-Hading
Dramatic company is due in the City of
Mexico January 7, from Ban Francisco.
Why is it that our opera house manage-
ment could not secure this great comedy
company for one night on its way through
El Paso. The engagement of this com-
pany would have been a great event for IaK k.t ~
the theatre goers of this city. ->nd -dc,lB"' " TI!K
