If Monk Gib son is guilty he should receive the punishment which the horrors of the crime demand and that in the briefest space. Our esteemed contemporary The BROWNSVILLE Herald has return ed to first principles, and kicked out its gasoline engine, and the pesky thing now lies out in the back yard ' 'hors du combat, with one foot over the tongue." Bro. Wheeler has fallen back on the old reliable G. Washington press, and is printing his spicy little daily in exactly the same way that Ben Franklin printed his 140 years ago. It is a slow process, but it is sure, and for the latter motive we got a G. Washington press when we enlarged the Advance We will install a steam double cylinder press when the proper time comes.

The city has adopted some new meas ures in the treatment of remale prisoners which promises to have excellent results. The women have been put at work usually done by men, and are engaged in digging up grass and weeds from amone the stones in front of the Hospital Qivil. They are guarded by armed policemen and watched by many curious and scoffing per sons. To be put at work usually accorded to men is considered the heighth of disgrace by the people here. In TauiDico the onlv place for the confinement of women prison ers is at the Hospital Civil, where they are allotted to the detention department. There are usually more than a score jii women in the jail on various charges, from drunk enness and disturbance to murder The scheme of putting the women to work is a new one and has every evidence of being a good plan. It is believed that women will be very careful not to get into the clutches of the police after this. Attention, Truck Growers.

It now seems to be an assured fact that a railroad will be built from Laredo to Brownsville, and that it will come right down through the fertiile valley of the Rio Grande, where the soil is the richest, the climatic conditions the most favorable, and the water supply inexhaustible. At the hour of going to press the Grand Jury is still in session. Many indictment for felony, and a few for misdemeanors have been returned.
