The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1898-02-02

THE HERALD editor, after a
residence here Of nearly six
years, has failed to witness it.
The men who vote here can all
show their papers, declaring
their intention to become CHI
Gems of this country, in accord
ance with the law. The fact is,
the opposing parties are always
too wide awake, too vigilant, to
permit such dishonesty as The
Star has been led to believe ex
lists here. The Rio Grande vote
is in most respects as legal as
that Of other sections. The edi-
tor of the Star shows little
judgment and less sense in at
tempting to prejudice the state
against this section, and to an
tagoni2e the democrats against
so large and influential a num-
Der Of their own body, at the
same time giving aid and COM
fort to the enemies or the party
1t claims to represent, when it
cannot prove the charges it so
boldly makes. Cuero democrats
would do we'll to give the
would be Don Quixote Of the
Star a little advice to be more
sure of his ground before be
advances further in this silly
crusade. We do not wish TO be-
lieye the Star would wiIfully
do an injustice to a section of
the state which already has
burdens enough to support, by
publishing malicious and false
statements concerning it.
One other point in the Stars
article We cannot pass without
comment. 1t says: The editor
Of this paper has never yet vio-
lated party pledge or bolted
a democratic convention. We
don't believe the editor of the
Herald can say as much" The
reference is, OF course, to this
papers support of Clark
Hogg in go. We do not
see any cause TO be ashamed Of
it, but we do deny that in do
ing so any party pledge was
violated by THE HERALD editor.
Judge Clark was a democratic
nominee. Mr. Weldon was not.

blackguardism-calling Greene,
of Nebr a back-woodsman. He
and his party will find lots of
back woodsmen IF the same
sort next November, aud every
one of them will cast an anti
republican vote.
This is what Senator Teller
said of this era of prosperity:
81 do not know, perhaps, but
/ have tried TO learn. I have
given this question hours of
study that few men have, and
| believe that this is the great
question; that the money que, :
ton; threatens not only this
people, but the enslavement of
mankind throughout tbs world
| said in 1893, to my country
men: You are entering upon
an era Of industrial slavery
such as the world has never
seen." Mr.. President, it is here
now. With all your boosted
prosperity you are closing the
mills of New, England, and
deducting from the wages OF
the laboring man 10, Is and 20
per cent, and making it irnpos
sible for him to perform the
duties of citizenship, aud then
you tell as that all these things
are doue in the interest of
honor, and labor must stand
it. But the bond holder gets
the bounty"

mysterious Billy" Smith
and Garlic Johnson met at the
Arena in Philadelphia on the
18th, in what was programmed
as a six-round bout. Before
a minute of the first round had
elapsed the affair was stopped
by the referee, assisted by the
police. In that time Smith
had "cross-buttocked'' his OPP
ponent, hit him while he was
lying on his back, and then
kicked him in the side. In the
first clinch Smith repeatedly
fouled his man. He was then
suhmarilly elected from the
ring and afterward from the
premises.

THE CUER0 STAR ONCE
MORE.

TO "Lower Rio Grand Condi-
tions," in which articles de-
nOunciBg the Stars course, in
attempting 10 discredit the de-
mocracy of this region, are
copied and replied to. Too
much space would be required
10 copy the reply to THE HER
AIDS recent article upon that
subject, bat some response
seems unavoidable, which must
be our excuse for recurring to
the matter.
THE HERALD has no desire
whatever TO enter into a con
troVersy with the Cuero Star
regarding political conditions
on the lower Rio Grande, and
especially would it avoid any
personal abuse or mud-sling-
ing. "Lie" is an ugly word for
one man to fling in the face Of
another, and much blood has
been shed on account OF g too
free use of The term. The Star
finds it easy TO intimate that a
man has lied, when that man is
two or three hundred miles
distant. 1t is worse than use
less to discuss the events of a
campaign now long past, and
especially when the candidate
under discussion is numbered
with the dead, yet THE HERALD
must in self defense reiterate
what it previously minated
namely: that money was placed
in the hands of republican lead
ers in Cameron county by the
Independent candidate for con
gress in 1S9z for campaign pur-
pCSes-a term that is always
more or less vague In meaning.
Moreover, it has the testimony
Of relia bic men that money was
offered for votes for that candi-
date in this county, whether
with or without his sanction
TIE HERALD does not under
take to say. However, that
question is neither here nor
there in the crusade which the
Star has undertaken against
what we do not doubt it Believes
to be a great evil In regard to
the magnitude of the alleged
evil, THE HERALD must say in
defense of the section it repre-
sents that it honestly believes
the Star has been misled as to
the facts. In starting out TO
break its lance upon the alleg
ed election abuses against
which it inVeighs, it should
take care that it does not run
against lot of wiDdmills.
There are doubtless as many
election tricks resorted to on
the lower Rio Grande as else
where in the state. Personally
the editor cannot say, never
having Witnessed them True,
the voters are royalty treated
by the contending parties, and
doubtless most of them vote
for the side that has given them |
HE best mescal. But as to the |
statement so commonly made
that men are brought over by
rhe wholesale from the Mexican
side of the river and voted, the
StarwiIl End ii hard to prove.

result of an understanding be
tween the administration and
that its principal object there
is to stave off Congressional
action.
So long as President Dole,
Of Hawaii, who is now being
entertained in Washington as
1.-The guest of the United States,
contents himself with the social
attentions that are being paid
to bin and his wife he will find
everything lovely and the goose
hanging high, but if he at
tempts to meddle with the an
nexation fight-he will find
things very different.
During The discussion which
preceded The adoption Of the
Teller resolution declaring U s
bonds payable in silver at the
option of the government, Sen
ator Allison, who voted for this
same resolution 10 1878 and
now against it, to admit that it
would be legal and proper for
the Secretary of tie Treasury
TO pay the obligations of the
government in either gold or
silver. Mr.. Allison tried to
qualify that admission with a
lot of stuff about the duty of
tue Secretary of the Treasury
to maintain the parity of the
two metals etc, but the admis-
sion was all that Mr.. Teller
wanted; he is willing to leave
the explanation of Mr.. Allison's
vote against the resolution after
that admission to be made by
that gentleman to the voters of
Iowa.
Although Senator German
pointed out that the Pension
appropriation bill as it came
from the House carried about
ten million dollars less than
would be spent by the pension
bureau burning the fiscal year
beginning July /, next, and
Senator Allen offered an amend
menG adding 100000 TO the
total carried by the bill, no &C
ton was taken by the Senate
to increase the appropriation
aud the bill, was passed
substantially as it came from
the House. It is somewhat sur
prising that the Senate should
even to this extent have helped
along the republican policy OF
insufficient appropriations, in
order that the government fl
nances may be made to appear
better than they should be, for
for the purpose of bamboozling
voters at the Congressional cleo
tions. 1t is at this time aDso-
lutely known to officials of the
pension bureau that deficien-
cy appropriation which may
exceed 100000. will have
TO be made by the next session
of Congress to pay pensions.

There is loud complaint now that the
torpedoes placed at the mouths of the
Kennebec and Penobscot rivers are a
nuisance to navigation. Yet our Con-
gressmen were given no rest until, in
response to urgent requests, these rivers
we're mined. AS far as the Penobscot is
concerned there is about as much reason
to expect visit from Spanish ship,
even if the war should last ten years, as
there is of the north pole breaking adrift
and grounding on our shores; and those
who dreamed of Spanish invasion in
this quarter must bave done SO after a
midnight dose of mince pie and strong

Mrs Sarah Pitcher passed peacefully to rest
last Friday morning at the home of her only
child, Mrs. Georgia S. Clark. No. 1lS High

there remained with her through life. In
her latest years she made many fine speci-

eyes and fingers. To the last she evinced
great interest in current events, and even
after she was too ill to read for herself asked
many questions and conversed intelligently
about the progress of the war. Her husband
was, during his prime, prominent in local
and State politics and in business, and she
was true heipmate to him. She was kind
and loving wife and mother, good neigh
Dor and valued friend The funeral was
