Some Prosperity.

Not counting timber, mineral
stone and other native products,
with an annual output equaling
the total agricultural production,
nor an increasing volume of man
ufacturing products exceeding all
put together, Texas this year has
produced and is marketing agri-
cultural and live stock products to
the value of more than $4,000, 900,
900 or more than SIPS per capita,
which is new wealth, created, as
it were, out of the primal elements
of this fertile spot of earth. The
Texas cotton crop will hardly fall
short of 8, 100000 bales. At $50 a
bale-it is today worth S55-that
is Sis, 200, 900. The corn crop is
worth at least $4,000, 900; the
wheat, oats and rye are worth $50
900, 200 more; the vegetables and
small fruits another $50, OOO,O 900;
the rice and hay another $50, OOO,-
900; the potatoes and miscellaneous
crops, other than staples. another
$50, 100000, with a host of live
stock-cattle, horses, mules, swine
and sheep-worth more than $780,
900, 900, with poultry and dairy
products thrown in for good meas
ure.

Popcorn For Seasickness.

1t is not generally known that
popcorn is one of the best remedies
For nausea CAUSED by sea-sickness
of car sickness. In one case known
to the writer a lady starting on an
overland journey of,several days
duration was, before many hours
had passed, attacked by the usual
symptoms. She decided to try the
new remedy, whatever it might be,
that she had been assured she
would find in a good-sized tin box
that had been given her at her
departure. Although rather in
credulous, the traveller tried the
popcorn she found in the box,
and, to her qualification, the nausea
gradually disappeared. She ate
freely of the corn every dav when
ever there was the slightest indica-
ton of nausea, and, thanks to this
simple precaution, the journey was
accomplished with an unwonted
degree of comfort. -Harper's Ba-

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an infamed con-
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus-
tachian Tube. When this tube is inham-
ed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is the resnlt, and unless the
can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.

Everybody Works but
the Father of Waters

a SO, 900, 900 dam to be built
across the Mississippi, furnishing
a force which will generate 211,-
500 horse power, is the latest word
in civil engineering circles, told by
W. E. Pringle in his article The
Mississippi as Millstream, in
the Technical World Magazine for
October. This dam will furnish
more power than does Niagara
Falls at the present time, and is
beirg promoted by a syndicate
aggregating $500, 900, 900 in cap
ital, who have already spent $780,
600 in preliminary surveys etc.
The article gives a clear account
of the curious difficulties which
had to be overcome in promoting
this project-showing the govern
ment had spent 100000 in
building a canal for navigation of
the river past the rapids opposite
Keokuk, Ia, and that the new
water power scheme would neces-
state the overlooking of this great
national canal. But nevertheless
congress was induced to look with
favor on the undertaking, as the
promise was made, that, although
all the Federal works in the neigh
borhood would be drowned out
new ones would be constructed
without cost to Uncle Sam, and
that $4,000 a year would ultimate
ly besaved the government in the
cost of operating their canal. 1t
is expected that the actual con-
work on the dam will
commence the first of the year.

Uncle Sam as an Employer.

New York Tribune
As matter of fact, no other
labor is so well remunerated and
so well treated as government labor.
The average of wages is high,
tenure is secure and superanrua-
ton is tolerated. Clerks are employ
ed in the departments in Washing
ton who, as testimony before the
house committee on appropria
tons has shown, have TO be taken
to their posts daily in carriages. If
the government pays moderate and
in some cases inadequate salaries
to higher officials, it certainly
balances the score by literally
rewarding workers in the lower
grades.

THE CITY COUNCIL.

l MOuQdy 4Ol lnN Edl POS~ ~ 0A0
cussing and disposing OF the
question as to whether or not they
would lower the assessment made
by the board of equalization on
the property of The New York
and Brownsville Improvement Co.
In compliance with a written
request made of him by the city
council, City Attorney Kibbe rem
dered a full and comprehensive
opinion on the question, from
which we quote:
From a very careful review,
perusal and study of the above
statutes, authorities and decisions,
unnecessary and too numerous to
mention) it is my opinion that the
city council of the city of Browns
vile has no right, authority or
power, at all, to review, revise,
correct, change, or alter the tax
rolls Of tile City of Brownsville, and
you are, accordingly, hereby ad-
vised."
During the week Mr.. Kibbe,
not relying on his own opinion
alone, wrote to the attorney gen
eral for his opinion in the matter
and received the above answer that
Mr.. Kibbe made to the council.
The council was also informed by
Mr.. Kibhe that the attorney gen
eral had given this decision.
In the face of these opinions,
one by the city attorney, furnished
by the city as legal adviser and
director for the city council and
paid for his services as such, the
other by the attorney general of
Texas, legal adviser and director
of city, county and district attor-
neys, aud paid out of the taxes of
the people, the city council de-
cided that discrimination had been
made f,y the board of equalization
against the New York and Browns
vile Improvement company in the
matter of assessment, and pro-
ceeded to reduce the assessment to
that of last year.
A motion was made by Geo.
Champion to set aside the entire
work of the board of equalization,
since a claim was made that the
board was not legally organized,
having in its personnel a nom
property owner, and to leave the
tax rolls of 1905 stand, there being |
quite a number of other material
raises, but the motion received no
consideration, and was lost.
THE HERALD makes no hesita-
ton in saying that the city coun
Gil has entirely overstepped its
authority in this instance and has |
taken a position it cannot maintain.
We venture to predict that the
consequences arising from this
action will be disastrous, not to
say ruinous, to Brownsville.
Not one of the taxpayers of the
city whose assessment has been
-aised, whether justly or unjustly,
will ever consent to pay one cent
III the raise and the finances of
he city will suffer to an extent
lot now realized. Under the opin-
on of the city attorney, supported
by that of the attorney general,
he only way left then, is for the
,ity attorney to go ahead as he is
empowered by law to do, ignore this
rbitrary and ultra wires action of
he city council, and collect the
axes as fixed by the board of
qualization.
If it be necessary to bring suit,
hen let him sue and sell so much
f the property of those refusing
o pay the taxes, as may be neCes-
airy to satisfy the legal claim of
he city as fixed by the board of
qualization.
