Cold Mayes.
They Purify the Atmosphere and
Benefit the Human System.


| The cold wave, SO much dreaded
by most people, is really a blessing
in disguise. 1t charges the at
mosphere with fresh oxygen and a
surplus of free electricity, which
produces a most exhilarating and
beneficial effect upon mankind.
Torpid energies are aroused, physic-
al vigor and resistance increased, by
the advent of cold wave to such
an extent that any incidental
/ damage is more than made up for.
The American climate has al
ways been recognized as a strong
factor in causing the aggressiveness
and enterprise which have lifted
our people into the first rank among
nations and made US commercially
supreme. The cold wave, with its
results of increased energy and
vigor, is meteorological phe-
nomenon peculiar to this country.
The chief of the weather bureau at
Washington explains the origin of
this wave.
1t appears that with a high
pressure system, rotating with great
velocity. large volumes of cold air
are drawn down from above the
clouds, so that the cold wave is
homemade" being simply pro-
duct of motion. The system of
motion originates in the northwest,
but the cold air comes from above
the clouds.
The cold wave is not only useful
for its beneficial effect upon the
human system, but as a cleansing
and purifying agency. 1t dissipates
the deadly carbonic acid gas, the
product of respiration and combus-
ton, and the foul effluvia of decay
ing matter, increasing atmospheric
circulation generally and thereby
relieving stagnation.-Medical Brief.

Two Good Farmers.
Corpus Crony:

Corpus CrOny:
w. W. Dupuy is well-known
resident Of Corpus Christi who
dwells within the southern limits
of the city on a roomy residence
lot Mr.. Dupuy has a two-acre field
near his house which be planted in
cotton about the middle of April.
He has just finished gathering his
crop and he owns three bales Of
cotton, aggre3ating 1903 lbs, all
of which was produced on the two
acre tract. This is a genuine bale
and-a half crop and it was pro-
duced on land which grew cabbage
last winter and is now being
prepared for cabbage to be grown
this coming winter. From those two
acres Mr.. Dupuy sold 1926 lbs.
of cabbage between March Z and
April q of this year. He planted
the cotton between rows of cabbage
stumps which were cut out after
wards.
D. NJ. Dodson is a practical farm
er whose place is about three and
one-half miles south of Corpus
Christi. On land which did we'll in
cabbage last winter, he planted
twenty acres in cotton last April.
He has completed his harvest and
the books show that he owns 16,56S
lbs. of lint cotton in bales. This
means that twenty acres produced
more than thirty-three 500-lb. bales
of cotton. The land used by Mr..
Dodson was first broken last fall.

WHAT'S THE USE?

The Gonzales Inquirer republish-
as the following pessimiStic rehec-
lions from an unknown writer:
None are satisfied. One man is
struggling to get justice, another is
going from it. One man is saving
TO build house, another is trying
TO sell to get rid of it. One man is
spending all the money he makes
Ia taking his girl to the theater and
sending her flowers in hopes of
eventually making her his wife,
while bis neighbor is spending all
the gold he has getting a divorce.
The eastern man wants to 60 west
and the western man wants to go
east. The farmer wants to 60 into
the city and the city man wants to
go into the country. The man in
trade wants TO get out and every
body not in trade wants to get in.
The old want to be young and the
young want to be old, and so it
goes.
And above all there echoes for
ever that haunting, unanswerable
query: What's the use?

LAREDO.

4 few days ago THE HERALD
published the conditions at Laredo.
and the facts showed sad state-a
state of restitution and urgent
need. We made an appeal for our
afflicted neighbor and hoped and
expected that aid from Brownsville
would be forthcoming Immediately.
But it seems we reckoned without
knowledge of the. character OF the
Brownsville people. No response
has come, no prefer whatsoever of
help for the city in distress. Yet it
has not been so many years since
Brownsville was in the same condi-
ton as Laredo today.
Yell Nv Jack held high carnival
here and his victims persisted by
the hundreds. Disease and famine
walked hand in hand and the
scythe of Death reaped fearful
harvest, many of our best and most
useful citizens succumbing to the
terrible scourge.
Brownsville called for aid and
Immediately from all parts of the
country money and provisions were
sent until the aggregate amounted
to much more than we needed.
Wien the epidemic was abated and
Brownsville again in free commune
cation with the world it was found
that we had a great deal too much
provision and several, thousand
dollars more than was needed to
relieve the stress of the situation.
First and always in the lead of
other cities that helped Browns
vile was Laredo. That brave and
generous city stood faithfully by
and was indeed friend in need to
Brownsville.
Now conditions are reversed. But
IN Laredo's distress Brownsville
has shown no interest, save that of
strict quarantine and the complete
bottling up of the stricken city with
her disease and restitution.
Other cities over Texas are con-
tributing nobIy to Laredo's wants.
What wiz Brownsville do? We
pause for answer.
LATER Since writing the above
we have been shown a paper con-
tanning a list of subscribers for the
relief of the sufferers at Laredo.
Seven citizens have so far subscrib-
ed, the total amount being $50. |
The paper is the hands of Hon. w.
j. Russell, and anyone wishing to
subscribe can do so.

SENATOR GORMAN's SPEECH.

Practically the last democratic word
in the campaign was spoken in Balti-
more last night before an unusual audi
ence. Senator German was the particu-
lar star. He delivered an incisive
speech in which his paramount theme
was the race issue. That furnished OPP
portunity anew for him to press his
views in criticism of President Roose-
welt and to brand republican leaders
for holding negroes as political slaves in
every large State whose vote decides ma
tional elections. A revival of the negro
problem, as raised by President Harrison
through the force bill, was ascribed to
the present administration. Senator
German declared that it would be
squarely met, and the republicans
would suffer from the outcome. 1t was
not of democratic seeking. Such a
contest he regarded as bound to effect
the national prosperity, because of
evil effects upon the South, and
as being particularly unfortunate in
coming at critical industrial period.
One of the finest points in the meeting
was the Senators's retort about bis own
political future. The ovationin his hon
or was most enthusiastic, there being
frequent shouts from the audience about
him as Roosevelt's successor. The Sen
ator was not responsive to these illusions
till well along in bis speech, when a
man with penetrating voice made him
self heard above tumult of cheering:
Next President of the United States. 1"
az want to say to my friend over in
the far corner of the hall, " replied SEN
ator German, with spirit, "that this IS
an election for governor of Maryland Zap

most excellent ticket for all parts
of the State. Elect il. You can choose
your President afterward. Meanwhile,

MIR. Choate and the Free Traders


London, Oct. 31.-Many of the
adherents of former Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain's preferential tar
if scheme are greatly annoyed by Amer
lean Ambassador Choate's recent address
in which he quoted Benjamin Franklin
as saying that any policy which sought
to aid either the mother country or the
colonies ateach Others expense, was par
tial. unjust, and mischieyous. 1t seems
that the feee traders are using this quota
ton most effectively in their campaign
against Chamberlain scheme, the saying
having additional weight as coming from
Ambassador Choate. The Chamberlain
ties on the other hand question the pro-
priety on Choate's part to refer in any
way to the English tariff discussion, and
recall the Sackville- incident. As
the quotation used by Ambassador Choate
was written in 1774it is impossible to
complain formally ofhis statement. The
incident of Lord Sackville West, it will
be remember, occurred at the time when
former President Cleveland was running
for his second term of Office in 1892. A
former English subject who had become
naturalized citizen Of the United States
wrote to Lord Sackville-West, then Brit
ish minister at Washington, and asked
him how he should vote. The British
Minister replied that he thought it would
tke best to oppose Mr.. Cleyeland's free
trade ideas. The matter became public and
Lord Sackyille- West was given his pass
ports.

AGAIN CONVICTED.

For the second time within two months
Samuel j. Parks, walking delegate OF
Housesmiths and Bridgemen's Union,
Local No. 2. was conEicted of the crime
of extortion in the Court of Of General
Sessions in New York yesterday after
noon. 1t took the jury just II minutes,
during which time they took two ballots,
to agree on the guilt of Parks in extort-
ing $500 from the Tiffany Studios, a
firm of contractors, under threat of keep
ing them from continuing work on build
ings last January. 1t was shown at the
trial that Parks had obtained 5000 from
the Tiffany firm as an Limitation fee,
last January, when the housesmiths and
bridgemen were on strike on three OF the
Tiffany contracts in New York. Parks
claimed that his money was a fine levied
by his labor union. Later the fact de-
yeloped that Parks had been disloyal to
his union, inasmuch as he permitted the
Tiffany firm TO employ nonunion men on
certain jobs after having received the 5000.
This accusation was not denied by the de-
fendantor his counsel during the trial, but
the latter contended that Parks had
given the money to the treasurer of his
organization, and that the entire trans
action was business deal which, in
stead of being crime, afforded con-
siderable business advantages to the firm
which paid the money Counsel for
Parks endeavored to introduce certi6-
Gates as to the prisoners delicate state
of health, but Judge Newburger, before
whom the case was tried, refused to adj
NIT them.
James w. Osborne, Parks chiei
counsel, made an excellent defense, al
though he had weak grounds to stand
upon, while Assistant District Attorney
Rand placed Parks in an unenviable
plight, both to the public and his fellow
labor unionists in his summing up 10
the jury.
When the jury was polled and the
verdict rendered Parks glared at thejury-
men with the same look of defiance
which he maintained during this as well
as his previous trial. He was remanded
for sentence week hence. Parks i:
now awaiting the decision of the higher
court on a writ of error, having been
sentenced after his first trial to term
of not less than two and half nor more
than three and half years in Sing Sing
prison.
The charge on which his former con-
viction was secured also was extor-
ton.
Tim Mccarthy, who, together with
Sam Parks, is under two indictments for
extortion, failed to appear in court, and
his bail of 81, 600 was declared forfeited.
A warrant for his arrest was issued.

III THERE are any who really believe
that Mr. German is not regarded by the
democrats of Maryland as the ideal lead
err of the party in that State, they should
read the full report of the big democrat
ic meeting held in Baltimore last night
at which the Senator appeared and made
a telling speech. Democratic and re-
publican papers alike devote much space
to the meeting, and the American, the
leading republican paper of Baltimore,
gives the following preface to its account
of the meeting:
Senator A. 2. German was the star
speaker at the last general democratic
ass-meetlng OF the city campaign In
the Lyric, last night, and shared with
Mr. Edwin Warfield, candidate for gov
error. M honors of the occasion. Mr.
Gormau was hailed as 1.-THE next Presi-
dent of the United States" before and
during his speech by voices in the aud
fence. which filled the main floor, the
galleries, the stage and private boxes OF
the hall. lie was Given an ovation when
he appeared on the platform with the
other speakers, but the great demonstra-
ton of the eyening-one that is seldom
equaled in Baltimore-took place when
he was introduced preliminary to be-
ginning his speech. All of the men,
who filled the first floor and stage and
who were escorts of the women who oc-
cupied the galleries, seemed to make
some contribution to the cheers and
hand-clappings with which the Senator
was greeted. The demonstration was In
undulations, alternately subsiding and
then rising, reaching its climax when,
under the leadership Of Gen. John Gill,
who presided, the whole audience arose.
Men waved their hats Women waved
their handkerchiefs.
The Sun has the following to say:
Hailed as "the man who killed the
force BILL" and cheered by enthusiastic
thousands as "the next President of the
United States" Senator German made
his second speech of this campaign last
night at the Lyric, in the presence OF a
mighty gathering of democrats. 1t was
the last grand rally of the democracy
before the election, and the big hall was
not nearly large enough to hold the peo-
pc who turned out to hear him speak.
Hundreds of ladies' were in the assem-
blage and in the audience, and on the
stage were representative democrats from
every section Of the city and from many
counties. The enthusiasm was unbounded
and the demonstration accorded Mr..
German was spontaneous and tremen-
dous. The cheers with which he was
greeted seemed fairly to shake the build.
ing and the whole multitude rose and
shouted welcome.
