The Brownsville daily herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1897-1910, 1905-09-20

For some time it has been known
that Fort Brown is below the aver
age in the matter of quarters botl
for officers and enlisted men, an,
recommendation have been mad,
for improvements al this post
But il takes more than mere re
commentator to secure the need
ed improvements. If our citizen.
are interested in the matter, and
they should be. il would be
a wise plan to solicit the good
Offices of our congressman, Hon
John n. Garner, and 9quest him
to place the matter before congress.
Mr.. Garner has already signified
his Willingness to do everything
in his power for the benefit of his
constituents, and will no doubt
take pleasure in bringing the mat
ter to the attention of congress.
Other posts have been improved,
but it was not by sitting down and
waiting tor congress TO voluntarily
make the appropriation necessary.
II we want these Improvements at
Fort Brown, and THz HERALD has
been informed they are badly need
ed, the quicker the matter is taken
up, the quicker it will be settled.
This is the second most important
post in the state, and is should be
looked after. Let our more prom
inent citizens take the matter
in hand, and they may feel as
sured of all the assistance pos
sible from army officers here,
and see if we can not secure the
necessary improvements for Fort
Brown. II is estimated that $780,
300 would put this post in first
class condition, with modern quar-
Lers for officers and enlisted men,
and the greater part of this amount
would be expended in Brownsville.
Reports so far as obtainable
indicate that the rain this morn
ng was general throughout this
section. About three fourths of
IN inch fell at Olmito, and about |
he same amount fell here. 1t is
reported that there was a three
nch rainfall at Kingsville. with |
Indications that it was general in
hat section. On account of the !
line up the river being

rom that region. Moisture was
"a lily needed in the entire section,
Ind the precipitation last night is
very acceptable.

PEASLEY vs BURPEE.
The Formers Prsss Agent is Working
 Overtime at Present.

The latest effusion about Judge Peasley's claims on the deputy judge ship of the district court has greatly : irritated Judge Burpee of the city court. Judge Peasley's press agent quotes lawyer "who is on the inside'
 to the effect that a member of the jul dietary committee told him that the appointments for the district court
 were to be Judge Burpee for judge and Jndge Peasley for deputy judge: that Judge Burpee will, at the proper time, resign his place on the commit- tee that is to present the local bar as- sociation's petition to the governor for the appointment of Judge Cowell and Attorney Carmody, because he will himself be appointed, and by re- maining on the committee he would necessarily stand in his own light. Judge Burpee wishes it to be under stood that there is not particle of truth in that statement, and that he is not and never was a candidate for the judgeship of the district court. He could not account for the publication of such an erroneous statement, be- cause 1t was absolutely basetess
 There is feeling among the attor- neys that Judge Peasley's press agent
 is hurting more than advancing his cause by the peculiar and offensive means he has chosen to present it to the public. The idea of accusing At torney O'Neill of trying to stir up sen- fime.nt aDainSt him Is secuted hy every attorney in the city.

THE OLD IRON
 TANk IS REMOVED

Superintendent Johnson of the water department has removed the watering tank from the north side of the green io the yard on Benedict street. where it will remain until it is disposed of witl. other trappings to some of the junk men. It was leaking and besides it is thought that the weltOn fountain will meet the requirements of that nei2hborhood for the present at least. Tie city should keep that old watering talk as a heirloom. It was the first one ever set up in Waterbury and per. formed valuable service. In fact. it was in harness longer than tbe time mentioned in the teachers bill. and yet it had to step aside without a pension. IL stood for years at the corner of West Main street and Exchange place aId was removed after long fight to tiie other side of the green. The horse meu made big fuss about it that time. nut not one Of them sneezed when it was knocked in the head this time.

THOSE C0tD OLD LAYS.
When the Counci.msn Held tho
 Aldermen In CAsck.

Some of the older citizens are ap- palled at the way expenses are piling up ill the city government and claim that the public made n big mistake when it allowed the board of council- men to be abolished.
 Some of the best public officials we ever had," said a man who does not like the. way things are going, were found ill the council chamber. To be sure, we had poor ones, but dn the whole think it was more repre- sentative of the people than the high CT board. Do you think all these measures that are being pushed through the aldermanic board would pass if we had the cOuncilmen? The factories of Waterbury and the public schools grew to what you see them to-day without compelling those who entered them to joln certain organiza- tions, but things have changed, and in my judgment not for the better. Tho !, first real trouble that appeared in the shops was due to the conduct of some men who claimed that others shouldn't be allowed to work unless they joined certain societies. The employers were very much opposed to this and by con certed action succeeded in maintain ing certain amount of freedom in the factories so that willie number of men might like to be able to say to their shopmates who don't agree with them. if you don't join our society you cant work here any longer,' they are deterred from speaking their mind through fear of getting themselves into hot water, but it is coming, and sooner or later every man who works in q factory will have to show card. It looks that way to me and I'm begin. ming to think that the principle must he right. The owners of the factories fought this order of things Ll their own business, but I understand they favored tine system in the schools, and what is good enough for the schools ought to he good enough any place. From now oil you cannot get a posi- ton in the schools unless you join the union of teachers. With this indorse- ment of uniOnism before us, how can the boss of factory find fault with tool maker or polisher who objects to allowing man to compete with him who persists in remaining outside the craft he makes living at? But , t' is 'n aga progress ain [ it is not , wise for us Id folks to worry too much about such matters. We won't be here much longer. anyway, and ae- ter we're gone we'll soon be forgot ten.''
 The same gentleman was asked what he thought about turning the Naugatuck river over to private company. but he gave. an eyasive an- swer. He didn't think most of the land in the extreme eastern part of the town worth $l5 an acre for farm. ing purposes, and thought that 1t would pay much better to store all the water that can be collected there and ne" it during the dry season. He con. sidered the Naugatuck river almost useless as it is, hut knew that it could be made very valuable Pressed fo an answer. he. smiled and said: ''Tlrs water question won't bother you or me n hundred years hence." His in terests are naturally with the men who compose the Naugatuck Valley i Water Co.,, but he didn't care to say so and he didn't care to indorse the pro- position.
