MAT BROWNSVILLE

The following editorial iu re-
cent issue of the Houston Chron-
icle, ON the Brownsville situation
is among the best we have read
Il is often the case that men
undergo trials and misfortunes and
dangers the gravity Of which is
such rs to benumb their faculties
aud render them unable to APP
preciate at once the extent of their
peril, and it is only when tue crisis
has passed and the danger departed
that the full measure of what they
confronted. endured or escaped
dawns upon them.
This Is doubtless the way the
people of Brownsville feel, and the
way the people of Texas feel, when
thinking of the Brownsville sit
uation ROW that the danger which
seemed so imminent appears to
Alave been removed. II IS difficult
tMSaiize that the seven to nine
thousand peaceable citizens of a
thriving city of q sovereign state
were put N imminent peril of the
loss of their lives aud homes at the
hands of the soldiers OF their own
nation, yet such was the fact.
No tongue can tell what the wo-
men of Brownsville suffered from

or color or previous condition Of
seryitude OF customers.
The idea that any citizens could
have been guilty of this outrage
upon Brownsville is too prepos-
ferrous to merit further attention.
But in that THE HERALD is relia-
bly, informed that the article is as
gross Misrepresentation of the
sentiments and actual conditions
at Corpus Christi, as It is of the
situation at Brownsville, this paper
feels that II should pay It sufficient
attention to giveit denial on behalf
of orr good friends at Corpus.
A representative gentleman from
that city informs THE HERALD
that in truth the only person in
Corpus who holds such views or
could have coceived such a prepos-
ferrous idea is the editor of the
Crony. After all that Brownsville
has endured, such insult added TO
injury might hurt, if it were
fza;il -SaassaJ-EGe Worthy d cor
sideration. But as it is the Crony
merits only the contempt of our
people And there are some here
who contribute to the support of

anxiety and suspense when they
knew one negro soldier had at
tempted the unspeakable crime
against their neighbor women and
hundreds OF othsr negroes were
threatening pillage and murder.
Il was indeed a remarkable sight
TO see citizens of Texas guarding
day and night their homes and
wives and children lest their
homes be burned and their wives
and daughters deflcd and murder
ed by soldiers in the national uni
form, yet such sight was seen in
Brownsville.
Such indignity and outrage was
endured with remarkable and com
mendable patience, but it will never
be endured again. Tie people of
Texas are law-abiding they respect
the American flag and American
soldier. they seek 10 conflict with
the national authorities, but had
conditions at Brownsville continued
a few days longer Z host Of Texans
would have swept dayy1r OF fnat
negro garS son and not one would
/ have been left to tell the tale.
When a peaceable. home-loving,
law-respecting people see one of
their chosen officials shot down,
see a peaceable citizen killed, see
the home OF another citizen riddled
with bullets and the lives of his
wife and children put III fearful
peril, and one lady sought to be
outraged, it IS. hard TO realize that
even such a people restrained them
selves. That they did 50 IS sur
prising, and when hereafter men
speak of lawlessness in Texas, let
them remember what the people Of
Brownsville endured, yet held their
peace and shed no mans blood.
They suffered in silence, they
demeaned themselves as law abid-
ing people, as they are, but if ever
they are again subjected to treat
ment so vile they will strike to the
death, and their fellow citizens will
see that they are sustained in de
Tense of their homes.
The time has come to strike
when soldiers in the national uni
form turn murderers, and when |
negroes dare recklessly to shoot |
unofending white men and offer to
lay lecherous hands or pure and
defenSeless women.

JUSTICE DEMANDS IT.

The entire report by Major Pen

ing the outrage on Brownsville
glared with Misrepresentation and
discrepancies, at which the entire
citizenship of. Brownsville was
fercely angry and indignant. II
was without doubt on account of
the impression given the depart
ment concerning the general COLI
duct of our citizens towards the
negro soldiers that the determine
ton of the department to abandon
Fort Brown was taken. a fair ard
full investigation of the outrage
has been respectfully urged by our
people, and, if there be any justice

accuracy of the Penro>e report,

for brushing insoieutlg against
some ladies who were with Nj.
Tate Mai. Penrose' S report states
that the negro privates walked
single file between the women and
the fence The fact is there IS no
fence along the sidewalk At the
place where the negro soldier
brushed against the ladies. It was
on the sidewalk in front of a vacant
lot which is not fenced at all, and
there was no obstruction whatever,
to prevent the soldiers from passing
respectfully around Any white
man would have done 50, and any
well bred negro would also have
done so. This incident Is the only
casus belli which Is detailed in
Major Penrose's report
The fact IS, that. while Major
Penrose has endeavored TO give the
impression at Washington that
Brownsville did not want the negro i

them badly, our people, OF the

PREPOSTEROUS LDEA or
CORPUS PAPER.

]
It required the gigantic mind of
the editor of the Corpus Crony to
conceive the Idea that the recent
outrage Oh Brownsville may have
been perpetrated by citizens dis
guised as soldiers. Really, it is a
pity that Captain Mcdonald was
not aware of the detective genius
that is concealed within the Crony
editors Uranium, as he might have
secured its aid and so have captur-
ed some prisoners that Uncle Sam
could not have taken away from
US. But, irony aside the article in
the Crony i'll which the above
insulting insinuation is made would
deserve to rank with the Penrose
report in the estimation of Browns
vile were its source worthy of
such notice. After an iutroduc-
ton in which the trouble at Downs
vile is attributed to race prejudice
as the handspring, the Crony in
dulges in the following amazing
remarks
In common with most garrisoned
towns, BrownsvilIe's greatest profit
from the nearby for came in pan
dering to the gambling and drink
ing proclivities of enlisted men.
With negro troops stationed at
Fort Brown, the gaming tables and |
the bars of Brownsville would find |
it necessary to interdict the patron
age of the negro soldiers in order
to maintain the high tone that is /
demanded by profitable and pune
tilious persons who may be pass

took an active interest IN the welfare and
government OF his native land and dur

siderable time going over the territory in

RAILROAD SPIKE
WEAPON THAT
KILLED STREUb

Great harrington. Mass, July 23.--The
belief Of the authorities that John Streub.
the l2-year-old boy, whose body was
found in the woods near here last Sun
day. was killed by blows on the head
delivered from behind with a railroad
spike, was strengthened yesterday by a
minute examination OF the weapon found
near the W oy.
Microscopic examination OF this spike
showed minute spots OF red which seem-
ed To diTcr from those with which the
implement was covered. Two hairs which
are thought TO have come from a human
skull and which correspond in shade with
the light brown hair OF the dead boy
were also found adhering 10 the spike
A chemical test OF the spots found
upon the spike will be made Immediately
and it ~ practically certain that the body
OF young Streub will be exhumed TO per-
init of more thorough examination OF
hts wounds. The summoning OF witnesses
for the coroners inquest. which will
probably be held on Tuesday. was begun
today.
