fact that in the favored spots allud

found almost identically the SAME
fora that exists in the tea districts
OF Crylon and India.
The value of coffee is that from
that berry very popular drink lie

applies to tea. 1t would not be
money thrown away if the govern

pay attention to the possible pro

Vas a MzsTAKE.

The Corpus Christi Caller of
June 81 points out the fact that
in TIE HERALD's report of the
proceedings OF the Cameron county
democratic convention it does not
appear that the convention instruct
ed for Grain for congress. In th..
same article the Caller reproduces
telegram from Hon. y. B. Wells,
chairman oi the conventions to n
gentleman of Corpus Christi, saying
that "this county instructed for
Grain first, last and all the time"
and asserts that there must be q
mistake somewhere. The Caller is
right. There was a mistake make
not serious one, however-but
The HERALD is not responsible tor
it. That it was the intention Of
the the convention to Instruct for
Mr.. Grain, there is no doub.. In
decd, it was SO much a foreg"ne
conclusion that it would do so,
that; in the hurry aud confusion Ct
the convention proceedings, no one
noticed that the instructions were
omitted. The resolution recording
the sense of the convention regard
ing Mr.. Grain was wurded Just as
it appeared in The HERALD, fully
endorsing HIM and landing him in
the highest terms, but the clanse
instructing delegates to the con
gressionsl convention to vote for
him WAS omitted. OF course, the
omission was accidental. Strange
to say, the omission Was overlooked
by the convention. 1t was alse
overlooked by the secretary in r,
cording the proceedings, and Xix,
wise by everyone else who haC
anything 10 do with the matter
The editor of the HERALD il
editing the copy for The paper Owe
looked the omission and was Ell
tirelY under the impression tina
instructions to vote for Grain TO
congress were embodied in tn
proceedings. In fact, two telegram
received by the editor inquirin,
about the matter were answered t
3 the effect that the convention il
structed for Grain. An inspection
E of the account of the proceedings
E as published in The HERALD, ho,
: ever, and also of the s cretary'
original copy, proved that he, i
common with everyone else, ha
been mistaken. The conventio
, did not instruct for Grain. Still
; it Was the full intention of the CO
A ventlon to do SO, and virtually
was Grain convention. Howsve,
it is very minor matter, as ever

THE Lareio News thinks the
press OF Brownsville has very little
influence, as Mr.. Grain was uomina
ted by the Cameron county demo-
cratic convention for congress, al
though neither of the English pa
pers of Brownsville advocated his
cause. The News might have add
ed, however, that said papers did
not advocate any opponent of MIR.
Grain, either. While THE HERALD.
is not an ardent sdmirer of our
William Henry, yet it hassaid from
the first that it considers him irfn
itelS better material for congress
than the gentleman from Victoria
who is opposing him. Mr.. Cram
needed no advocacy to carry Can
eron county, and he met with nc
opposition.
