CROPS A TOTAL FAILURE,
A Free Silver Argument and
Personal.
To THE HERALD.

To THE HERALD.
Deiina, July II, 1896 THE pro-
tracted drouth which has been hang
ing over us for so long was partially
broken last week by a good shower,
bat much more Is needed to do any
permanent grood. The crops in this
part Of Hidalgo county are a total
failure and grass and water on the
ranges are among the things of the
past. Owing to the abundance of
mesquite beans, horses and cattle are
still in fair condition, but no mark
cts owing,to the difficulty in reaching
shipping points.
Notwithstanding the big conven-
tons, and the bolts and squabbles Of
the two great political parties pol
itics down this way causes no COM
ment. Free silver we always have,
and the way we see it work we do
not want it any freer. We do not
pretend TO be 1inancIers, but COM
mon sinse tells US that for our gov
erument to declare for the free and
unlimited coinage at the rate Of l6
10 /, while the ctual value of silver
in the markets of the world is about
81 to l would simply result in flood
ing our country with a deprecated
currency. Our silver dollars could
certainly be worth no more than
the Mexican dollars, and we here on
the frontier fully understand how
many Mexican dollars we have to
get together to sent off to pay a bill
due in sound currency. We are in
clined to think that free silver is
very nice in theory but TO put 1t into
practice is an experiment which we
would prefer to see some other ma
ton try.
Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. March will
start to San Antonio on the 10, for
the purpose of making better and
permanent arrangements for the care
of the Odell orphane, who have been
cared for at the Protestant and Or
phans home, San Antonio, during
the past year.

vitalize the blood it has proved IL
self to be the safeguard of health,
and the record of remarkable cures
effected proves that il has wonderful
power over disease. 1t actually and

IIIDALGo NOTES /.
A Political Meeting Newspaper
Started.
For The HERALD.

4 Va LE
Hidalgo, Texas, July 18th. 1896
There was a large and enthusiastic
meeting at Havana, (this county,
last night, of the republicans of that
vicinity. After the election of J.H.
Edwards as chairman OF the meeting
and f. J. Philibert, secretary, a COM
mittee duly appointed by the chair,
reported resolutions of endorsement
of the presidential candidates NOM
mated at st Louis, and of the plat
form adopted. The resolutions, which
we're unanimously adopted, referred
in glowing terms to State Chairman
Grant and Hon. c. c. Pierce Of La
redo, and to their gallant and sue
cessful fight at the national conven-
ton. Mr.. Grant was endorsed for
reelection as State chairman. After
several addresses in Spanish and
English the meeting was adjourned
sine die.
1t has rained all around us and
we have had a very full river, but
no water has fallen here for some
time.
BY the way Hidalgo now boasts a
newspaper-"El Eco de IIidalgo" is
its name, published in Spanish every
Sunday by Mr.. Ramon Cara. We
bespeak for it many paying subscribe
ers and a long life.

THEN AND NOW.

Once l wrote a charming sonnet
To my Lady Mary's bonnet
And | called it smart and fetching and ]
called it highest art;
And | vowed each time l met her
With it on | loved her better,
And 1 ended by affirming that 1t simply
touched my heart.
We are wed. but Mary's bonnets
Never move me now to sonnets;
If they did I'd spend in rhyming OF my life
the greatest part
True her millinery's charming,
But the bills are most alarming,
And they touch my pocket deeper than the
bonnets touch my heart.

Gladness Comes

XH}ith a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
zeal ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due TO any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, andis
everywhere esteemed SO highly by ali
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that tits the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important; in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, TO note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
forria Rig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, n
may be commended to the most slIillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction
