FOR THE COMMON GOOD.

/ one OF the oldest inhabitants of
Brownsville, having lived here only
nine years-though he has the IN
terest of the town as much at heart
as anyone who claims his or her
residence here He has invested
his capltal-small though 1t he, To
be sure-in Brownsville, aud has,
in his way, done what he could to
up-build the town Nevertheless,
he feels that in time when the
most important interests of the
place are involved, the older citi-
zens are the ones who should take
the initiative aud push matters.
Hence, In regard to action in the
matter of securing troops for Fort
Brown, he has not attempted any
thing further than the publication
OF what are considered the facts in
the case, leaving it for the older
and more prominent citizens to act.
SO far, however, no move OF any
sort in that direction has come to
The HERALD'S knowledge
Unfortunately local political
strife seems tn have So divided
some of our most prominent citi-
zens, that even the common well
fare of the town cannot bring them
together, aud some even seem to
be so prejudlced against The HER
AID that even its most humble sug-
gestionS are Ignored bv them
though any minded reader
must admit that the paper has al
ways done its best for the town.
and it surely has never calumniat-
ed any of those who are bow OPP
posing it. Still, THE HERALD will
once more venture to appeal to the
citizens OF Brownsville fo put aside
their prejudlceS. and work together
fer the good of all.
If Fort Brown be abandoned, if
will seriously hurt the business in
terest> of the town. There will be
no mare contracts foI furnishing
supplies TO the garrison, and our
merchants will lose the trade of
the troops, which they have hith-
erto enjoyed Even now, with GU
" handful Of soldiers here, the
town Is duiler than it ever was be-
fore But not only III the loss Of
the large sum which was formerly
diSbutSed here In the pay of the
troops will the town suffer. 1t will
also be exposed to the old danger
OF lawless bardS, which are always
more or less likely 10 maraud an
unprotected frontier This danger
has lately been set forth in The
HERALD by contributor
Moreover, the sending of troops
here now would probably result in
the immediate expenditure OF IL
large sum for building and repairs
at the post, which would add much
to the prosperity of the town
In fact, there are many reasons
why it is most important that a
garrison should be maintained at
Fort Brown, and if our citizens will
only make "A strenuous effort, they
can doubtless secure it. And if
proper representations be made to
the war department, the permanent
Improvement of the post by the
erection of new quarters aud other
buildings could doubtless be
brought about. There is no doubt
of it, if the right course be pur
sued.
1t is sincerely to be hoped then,
that our citizens may awake to the
vital Importance of this matter
without loss of time, and act vigor-
ously.

The trial spins of the Shamrock III
show her to be the most formidable
| yacht that has yet crossed the At
| lantic to compete for the America s
cup. Moreover. il. is everywhere con
teGed that she is being handled with
| rare Judgment and skill. 1t is very
evident that the race is not destined
| to nc any procession. and it would not
| be surprising if the next one were held
| on the other side Of the ocean. OF
course we shall all hope to see the
cup remain ir this country; but the
Ams rican people are too genuine lovers
of sport not to appreciate the strong
| points of Il manly and generous rival.
and if Sir Thomas Upton succeeds in
carrying home the famous trophy
there will be no vain regrets.
1t must be admitted that the present
/ season has thus far been, in large
measure disappointing to American
yachtsmen. In this feeling the general
public has shared to a greater or less
degree.
There was very general feeling that

fairness that should be characteristic
Of an organizat ton which claims to
! present the country as a whole in
the field of international sport. 1t is
undeniable that this feeling has done
much to destroy public interest in the
race even though the Independence
failed. in actual trial. to come up to
expectations.
| But the Independence is not the only
disappointment in yachting enterprise
| this season. The Constitution has
certainly failed to exhibit the general
, superiority that was anticipated by her
| builders. In all the previous races for
country has never failed to show itself
| clearly better boat than its pre-
decessor. Today it is the very general
opinion that the Columbia. the cham
nioE of two years ago. which has been
| used in the preliminary races as a
PAGER. has shown itself to be ahead of
it's newer rival in most of the points
that make for speed in anything but a
drifting match. 1t looks as IL the old
boat would after all have to contest
the honors with the Shamrock III and
there are many good yachtsmen who
| believe that she is still entirely capable
of holding the cup on this side of the
water.
Taken. altogether. however. the con-
ditions to date have not been calculat-
ed to inspire a surplus of public conf
dence

to match the Columbia against Sir
Thomas Lipton's boat they will have
