WHY?

After charging in effect that many of
the Americans who attended the Union
ball on New Years eve had been rude
and exceedingly impolite in their con.
duct, the Sentinel is able to mention one
instance which it uses to illustrate the
grave lack ofcourteSy on the part of our
compatriOts who were so fortunate as TO
be the guests of the Union Club. One Of
the gentlemanly Americans" ii remarks
sarcastically, was observed seated ut the
first table, when supper was served, al
though the first table is reserved for la
dies, and ladies were standing at the
time. The one who did this doubtless
was eXcusable on the grounds that he
was a stranger to the custom which rules
at the Matamoros ball, and probably was
under the impression that. as the lady's
escort, he should be seated at the table
with her, as is generally the American
custom. But granting for arguments
sake that one American may have APP
peared in an unseemly light by his
haste to partake of the tempting viands
provided by his hosts, or even perhaps
that a few others, out of the hundreds
of Americans present, may have been
guilty of some discourtesy or other. that
could hardly warrant an editorial charge
in a Brownsville paper that many Amer
icaps had proven themselves unworthy
of the Union Clubs hospitality. Even
had such a thing been true. why adver-
tise it by calling attention to it editor
ally? Why mortify the refined Ameri-
can people of the city and the valley by
placing them under such an imputation?
AS to the added charge of insincerity
and what would be insufferable trespass
upon the hospitality of our esteemed
Matamoros friends, in the Sentinals edi'
torial of yesterday, which implies that

ing the Union ball men who scorned their
hosts, who went there with 'hatred for
Mexico" in their hearts and who would
consider it a PROCLAMATION to dance with
a Mexican lady," The Herald does not
believe that there were any such deceit
full, two-faccd monsters among them. On
the contrary, our people are always
eager to obtain the Union Clubs invita-
lions, and speak always in the most glow
ing terms of the elegant hospitality dis
pensed by this exclusive society. The
Sentinel may reflect the sentiment OF
some hoodlum who has merited the lock
up in Mexico, instead of an invitation to
such an elegant function as the Union
ball, but it assuredly misrepresents the
Americans who were so fortunate as to
be guests at the ball last Tuesday night.

Popular agitation on the subject OF

make 1t at present a live issue In
many states of the Union. Investiga
lions such as that recently conducted
by a senatorial committee from the

a wide interest and prepared market

topic. The first man to come forward

He treats the question in a popular
