NEW MEXICAN TARIFF.
An Eye-Opsner to Merchants on Both
Sides the River.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette
EAGLE Pass, MAVERICK COUNTY, Tex,
Aug. "a reliable telegram from the
City OF Mexico to-day conveys the informa-
ton which will be startling TO many mer-
chants on both sides the river, that the new
Mexican tariff Law which goes into effect on
the first of November viii increase the in
PRODUCTION duty on goods imported into
the iona Libre from 3 to 10 per cent This
large increase, coupled with the heavy
municipal and state taxes imposed
in i'iedras NegIas, largely nullifies the ad-
vsntaEes Of the free zone, and one shrewd
merchant expresses the opinion that by
thus increasing the zone duties by install
ments the free zone itself will be gradually
abolished within the next two wears. 1t is
also pretty certain that under the new law
the present heavy duties on wagons and
bucgieS imported into Mexico viii be
largely reduced

Proctor's Successor.
CooI.,f

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-The report that
Gen. William Wells of Burlington, Vt,
IS TO be made the successor OF Secretary OF
War Proctor, occasioned much talk in
Washington. Nothing is known about the
matter here. The appointment, however,
would occasion no surprise. Gen. Wells,
although unknown to politicians, is no more
obscure when considered in connection
with cabinet Office than was
Gen. Noble or William II. Miller at
the beginning Of the administration. The
opinion here is that some Eastern man will
be chosen, and if Proctor and Edmunds ara
urging Gen Wells for The place his chances
ought to be excellent. In the opinion Of
many, however, either Governor Cheney
OF New Hampshire or Gen. Veazey OF Yer
mont is much more likely to receive the
appointment.

An Anecdote of Daniel webster in Con-
nectfon With Them.
"I never have had more than my share
of the alcoholic headaches that have been
passed around where have been" re-
Gently remarked a member of Chicago's
leading clubs, "but have been heavy
loser by lntemperance nevertheless. In
fact, my family has lost about a quarter
of million dollars, believe, as the re-
suit of the intemperate habits of one
man-no less man than the great
Daniel Webster himself. The United
States government has just ordered the
payment of French spoliation claims
amounting to 81 500, ,000 and 81, SOC, 900
additional has been scheduled for pay
ment later. This money was originally
paid to the United States by the French
government to reim burse the owners of
certain American vessels that had been
seized by Napoleon. The United States
government used this money in making
the louisiana purchase. Now the gov
ernment is paving the claims of the de-
scendants of the original vessel-owners.
One of my ancestors owned five vessels
that were seized, and his claim was
placed in the hands of Daniel Webster.
The immortal Daniel looked over all the
papers, and seeing that the claim was en-
tirely valid, undertood to secure its pay
mSnI Dy congress. But at that time the
Un1ted States was not so careful of its
financial standing as it now is, and the
eloquence of the great orator proved
unavaiing.s One day, after a vain at
tempt to secure favorable action upon
the claim, Mr.. Webster went to his room,
filled up with liberal potations of old rye,
and under the exhilerating influences of
the same threw all the papers of the case
into an open CRATE, swearing that the
United States knew no such words as
honor or honesty and that it would be
utterly useless to waste any more time in
prosecuting the claim. So about $3.50,
900 worth of hopes went up Mr.. Web
ster's chimney in plain, black smoke
Now these French spoliation claims are
being paid off dollar for dollar. When
ever I think of the terrible effect of
Daniels costly debauch I feel like drown
ing the memory of it some way. Will
you join me?'

is Disease a Punishment?

The following advertisement, published
by prominent western patent medicine
house would indicate that they regard
disease as a punishment for sin:
"Do you wish to know the quickest
way to cure sever cold? We will tell
you. To cure cold qickly, it must be
treated before the cold has become set
tied in the system. This can always be
done if you choose to, as nature in her
kindness to man gives timely warning
and plainly tells you in natures way,
that as punishment for some indiscre-
ton, you are to be afflicted with a cold
unless you choose to ward it off by
prompt action. The first symptoms of a
cold, in most cases, is dry, loud cough
and sneezing. The cough is soon followed
by profuse watery expectoration and
the sneezing by prosuse watery dis
charge from the nose. III severe cases
there is thin white coating on the
tongue. What to do? 1t is only necessary
to take Chamberlain Cough Remedy in
double doses every hour. That will greatly
lessen the severity of the cold and. in
most cases will effectually counteract it,
and cure what would have been a severe
cold within one or two days time. Try it
and be convinced" Fifty cent bottles for
