Laredo News.

Laredo News.
The R.o Grande at this place,
and as far mp the river as the coal
mines, is so salty at present that it
is scarcely fit for domestic pur-
poses. It is the first time; so old
citizens say, that it was ever a: bad
as it is at present. 1t can be ac
counted for only by supposing that
it is thus affected By the Pecos
river. That stream which is very
lengthy, liz always quite salty by
reason of the fact that is runs
through long stretches of alkai
plains. 1t must have rained on
those plains, which are drained by
the Pecos, and thus a large body OF
very salty water has been precipi-
tated into the Rio Grande affecting
it from the point where the Pecos
empties into 1t to its mouth. 1t will
doubtless disappear in few days.

CHANGE OF LINE.
A Trying Ordeal in Woman'l
Life Made Easy.

Pu ru-ns is the favorite remedy
during Change of Life, as it
not only palliates the disagreeable
symptoms during the trying or
deal, bat guards the system from
the mary chronic ailments which
are liable to set in. Pe-lu-na
promptly relieves the nervousness,
sleeplessness, throbbing, hemorrh-
age, rush of blood to the head,
palpitation, indigestion, painful
menstruation, leucorrh@a and faint
spells, from which most OF these
patients suffer. 1t acts as a pre-
venti7e against droray, heart dis
ease, enlargement of the liver, and
kidney diseases, which are SO fire
quently acquired at this time.

A FEW POINTS.
OF Interest About Brownsville
Written by the Express Man.

The following is clipped from
the San Antonio Express, of the %,
in its S page write up of Browns
vile and Cameron county:
Wherein does the greatness of
Brownsville lie?
The points, as yet comparatively
unknown 10 the world of home
SEEKERS; are as follows:
1t is located on great river, only
a few miles from the Gulf of Mex
leo.
The land, for hundred miles to
the southwest and nor.h, embodies
every variety of tillable soil OF sur
passing richness and strength
known to agriculture, much of it
being the famous sub irrigated
sand land, made apparently especi
ally Tor fruit and vegetable grow
ing.
1t is on the route of any air line
railroad projected to connect The
systems OF the United States with
the City OF Mexico and intervening
points, the most important of which
is the harbor or Tampico.
By building twen'y-sIx miles OF
broad gauge railroad from the city
to Brazos de Santiago harbor can
be reached where, without any
work at all, steame drawing less
than ten feet can cross the bar, find
safe anchorage and unload direct
ly into the cars. With some ex-
pendidute, unusually small for this
class of work, twenty feet of water
can be obtained on the bar and a
roadway capable of holding fifty
ocean vessels can be constructed.
1t is positively stated by capable
engineers that this won'd be one
of the best located and finest bar
bors on the Gulf coast. A haroor
that wonld certainly become one OF
the greatest commercial factors IN
the development Of Texas, MEXICO
aud the South. It's possibilities are

LATEST dispatches state that President
Cleveland will not sign the bill for coin
ing the seigniorage silver in the treasury
vaults, although the bill passed the house
and senate by good majorities. The
eastern capitalists, who want more bonds
issued, are wild with rage IN their oppo.
sition to the BILL and it is predicted that,
as usual, their influence will prevail with
the president, as against the wishes of
the people Of the west. 1t may be re-
marked in this connection that the word
'seigEiorage" applies to the difference
between the amount paid by the govern
ment for the silver bullion and the face
value of the same after it is coined.

An Unfounded Claim.

The contention of silver's enemies is that
the rich silver discoveries in the Rocky
Mountain region have 80 augmented the
supply, as compared with gold, that the
financial experience Of the world prior to
1873 is no longer applicable and must be
permanently discarded, says the Rocky
Mountain News. The truth is that the total
production of silver for the past twenty
years. relatively to gold, Is little more than
half what it was during the 800 years preced.
ing the California and Australia discoveries :;
and the added stool, Of silver since 1873 to
the total worlds supply has been neither
absolutely nor proportionately as large as
the added stock of gold to tho previous
worlds supply between 1850 ond 1870 It is
also true that Tic added stock of both metals
for the last forty years falls proportionately
far short of the increase in population and
the expansion of commerce. The theory
that legislation and not production regulates
the price Of gold and silver is maintained by
the ablest fnanciers.
