TEXAS SANDWICH: If the

THE farmefs OF Cameron
county are jubi'ant over the
prospect of an enormous crop
next summer. It is an establish
ed fact in Cameron county that
every time il is swept by Il hur-
ricane, the succeeding year
yields a phenomenally large
crop. The rains accompanying
and following the hurricane of
last August have thoroughly
saturated every foot of ground
in the county, hence there
seems good cause fol. the ex-
pectatiou. of our farmers. One
drawback to this good fortune
is mentioned by some, however,
and that is the low price of
corn, our chief product, which
always results from such an
abundant supply, making it
scarcely worth while to hanl it
to town. This disadvantage is,
of course, largely due to lack
of rail transportation, for if the
crop of this section could be
placed on the market as soon
as it is fully ripened, which is
generally four to six weeks
earlier than that of any other
section, it ought to bring fancy
figures.

MANUEL, ROMERO RUBiO.
One Of Mexico's Creates
Lawyers and Statesmen
Passes Away.

Manuel Romero Rublo, MINIS
ter of the interior and father-in-
law of President Diaz, died this
morning, having failed to rally
from an operation fer cancerous
tumor. His age was IS.
The department of the in
terror, which is one of the most
important of the Mexican cabi
net, was held by this eminent
statesman and politician, who
was one of the best lawyers in
Mexico.
His career from the day that
he was admitted 10 the bar to
the present time has been a
series of triumphs, and his
eloquence, as he was one of the
greatest orators in Mexico, and
had given him great fame.
Whether in the halls of Con
gress, or in political discus
sions, Romero Rnbio was al
ways at the front. 1t may be
said without fear that he was
one of the most respected and
popular public men in Mexico.
One Of the greatest lawyers
that was ever known in Mex
leo, was this statesman, who
had been identified with politics
for the last thirty-five years.
He was born in the City of
Mexico, and came from a dis
tinguished family. While yet
very young, after a brilliant
and satisfactory course in the
public schools of the City of
Mexico lie entered the Univer-
sity Of San Ildefonso and began
the study of law. As soon as
he was admitted to the bar his
name began to figure conspic-
uously in the conduct of i'm
portant civil and criminal cases
and before many years of
practice had elapsed he became
one of the most famous lawyers
of Mexico. In politics he affil-
lated himself with the Liberal
party, and finally was elected
to Congress by a large majority
and several times reelected.
While in Congress he was one
of the most eloquent members,
and his voice was often heard
and listened to with the great
est enthusiasm and admiration.
He was one of the trainers OF
| the Mexican Constitution of to-
day and the author of many
important bills which have help
ed to build up the country and
to develop its manifold resour-
ces.

President Diaz appointed him
secretary of the interior. an
Office he has held ever since.
1t would require a large space
to mention even briefly the
many reforms which Senior
Romero Rubio had carried out
in his department. As minister
of the interior he vas undoubt
eddy one of the best if not the
best that Mexico ever had, and
in that great work ofreconstruc-
ton and development which Gen
Diaz has carried out in Mexico
Republic, Romero Rubio had
been one of his great cooperat-
ors.
In 1888 Gen. Diaz and he
visited the United States and
were received everywhere with
the utmost enthusiasm and
shown many kindnesses and
attentions. Senior Nj. Romero
Rubio was a great friend OF
that country and Il strong ad-
mirer to its Institutions. No
one was more welcome TO his
palatial silence in the City
of Mexico than his American
friends. This friendship was
reciprocated by the American
colony in the City of Mexico,
and in fact by almost all the
foreign colonies, and so it was
that he was one of MeXicoS
most popular public men.

to take a course in the normal school.
