A4m TSHEBALD. issued . Every Day Except Sunday, THE 0FF1CSAL COUNTY JOURNAL. The Herald is authorized to announce the name of Hon. J. N. Garner as a Candidate for Congress irom this the Fifteenth District, subject to the Democratic Nominating Convention. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1S02. If the government will nse Hit surplus in the treasury to irrigatt the arid regions of the West, tin country will forgive it the sur plus. Tttp. Intpst nhaseof "government by injunction" is the suppression oi' free speech. As free speech is a fundamental right of American citizens, guaranteed by the Con stitution, government by injunction in this instauce, at least, is clear ly unconstitutional. Iowa and Massachusetts have fallen into the Roosevelt column also, and "Me Too" Piatt answers for N- .v York as being assured for Ron 'velt. It looks as if every thing t-publican were going Ted- dv-waid, and Mr. flanna must begin to feel a bit lonely. The reports concerning young king Alfonso's conduct have a rather saffron tinge, but their persistency makes it appear as if therf may be some basis for them .if his majesty is such a naughty hoy as the press reports say, he might to be put into a dark closet or sent to bed without his supper- Some people are worried because President Roosevelt is using a government ship for a pleasure yacht. If he never violates re pnblicau principles to any greater extent than that, he will not do any harm to the government which was founded by our "daddies". There is no more harm in his using the Mayflower for a pleasure sail than there is in his giving a ball in the white house. Col. Bryan, in a speech at Mouutain Lake Park, Maryland, lest week, said that he prefers the honor of being a private citizen, and that he is "too democratic" to covet the position of the presi dency. It is most likely that he will have his ambition gratified, as ha has beeu twice defeated for the presidency and, even if he were nominated again, it does not seem possible that he could be elected. It is not even likely that he will be nominated again, however. The King of Italy is visiting the Emperor of Germany for the pur pose of inducing him to joiu in a move for the reduction of the con tinental armaments. Meanwhile Germany is making notable addi tions to her navy, and the prospect of a war with England, with the ultimate object of gainiug colonial possessions for the Germans is openly talked of. The Czarvof Rus sia may favor peace, Frauce and England may wish to avoid war for the present, but the German empire is not believed to feel peace fully inclined just now. It is even hiuted vaguely that the Monroe doctrine, may yet be iriade a target for some of Germany's big guns, if it should stand in. the way o2 that country's supposed designs upon certain South American ter ritory. It is to be hoped, though, that Victor Emanuel's mission of peace may not be without results. All the world is at peace now, and it would he a crime for any nation to bring on au unprovoked and unnecessary war. Late Items. J. P. Morgan has bought a hand some residence in London which belonged to the Countess of Dud ley. Chicago grave diggers are on a strike and funerals were turned back from the cemetery gates last week. A colored seer has predicted the destruction of Atlanta Oiiy, N J,, by a lidal wave on Aug. 16 The 0. H. weather- bureau will offset the prediction by publishing a statement. The will of the late Lord Paunce ote, former British ambrssadn a: Washington shows him to 'have been worth abont 63,700. President Roosevelt will make a personal investigation of the troubles on board the Mayflower. Half of the l4l sailors on the ship are said to be ready to desert. BROWNSVILLE WILL GET A .RAILROAD. The people of Brownsville expect to get their first, through railway connection frou Mataraoros to Monterey. Matamoros is just across the Rio Graude from Brownsville and it is now an as sured fact that the Matainorns branch runniug to San Miguel will be extended Mi Monterey. Tim; branch is 7iiles in length and is the pperty of the National Railroad Company of Mexico. The gap betweeu San Miguel and Monterey will require the construc tion of a hundred miles or more of new road and the National will build this. The branch line to San Miguel is a uarrow guage road and all preparations are under way to broaden it into' standard gauge before very long. San Antonio Express.

Our Napoleons of industry graciously permit the foreigner to purchase a lawn mow er for $2.75. It must not be overlooked that the additional freight charge must be deducted from the price at which the manufactures are sold abroad in order to give a fair es timate of the discrimination agaiust us. Thus we see that the American consumer who has nourished and bnilt up the "infant" is openly robbed by his pet This is an abuse which American consumers, who are heavily taxed to maintain the high profits of the industrial! combinations, will not tolerate in-j definitely. The Democratic leaders' are wise in making it an issue in the congressional elections this: year. The facts ought tobe brought home to the people and the found ation laid for an effective campjiigu of education in the next Presiden tial contest. The tariff issne and the relation of the alleged trusts to the tariff should be emphasized at every opportunity.
