INVESTIGATE RAID AT
BRO WNSVILLE.
"NTnw that the senate committee
xm military affairs has resumed the
investigation of the negro soldier
xaid on Brownsville, The Herald
xcn.,ld resoectfuUv urge that every
&nrt hp- made bv the citizens of
Brownsville and by the Southern
TPnrPsentatives in congress to have
he committee visit Brownsville and
imake a personal investigation of
the matter here. As was pointed
. u.. rUa 5! meeting of the
eoDle of Brownsville in the resolu
ions which were adopted urging
The committee to visit Brownsville,
there exist here such irrefutable
proofs of the guiit of the negroes,
and thereby establishing the in
nocence oE-flle people of Browns
-ville, on whom the actual perpetra
tors of the crime r.ad their friends
are trying to fasten the guilt, as
cannot fail to convince the most
skeptical and prejudiced member
of the committee, with the possible
exception of Mr. Foraker. The
neoole of Brownsville are apt to
iff.r.1 ton secure as to the result of
Ihe investigation, knowing them
selves how absolutely preposterous
xre the claims made in behalf of the
neirroes andialso the charges made
against Brownsville in the effort to
exculpate the actual murderers.
While it hardly seems conceivable
nfchat a sane committee of American
citizens, of the high standard of
-intelligence which we may presume
tthe average United States senator
to possess, could possibly come to
a decision contrary to that war
ranted by the facts in this case, yet
at should be remembered that the
'Brownsville affair has now become
a political issue, and that the presi
dential aspirations of one of the
-most influential and powerful re
publicaus may depend upon the
Snal disposition of the matter.'
Such being the case, every possible
paeans to sustain the stand taken
fcy that man in the case will be re
ported to, and as some of the mem
bers of the committee and more of
Mlie members of the senate may be
"willing to trade a vote to Mr. For
- aker for his influence in other mat
ters, in. which they may be more
-vitally interested than they are in
seeing justice done to Brownsville,
the Jesuit of the investigation may
be said to be still problematical.
'There is no doubt that the friends
of the soldiers, among whom is
.the powerful negro political organi
sation known as the American
'Constitutional League, will use
everv means to restore the guilty
Penrose battalion to the army, and
Jt .is doubtless true that the negro
4awyers, Gilchrist Stuart and Na
Tjoleon Marshall, who visited Mata
snoros last summer and who have
already attempted to spread such
absurd lies regarding their treat
ient while in that city, have some
rfan or other by which they hope
Xo defeat justice and to place the
-jguilt-of that infamous crime upon
tfce -very people who were outraged
by Penrose's fiends. Therefore it
Jbehooves the people of Brownsville
to fte on the qui vive before the
iSnal conclusion of the investiga-
tion makes it too late to act. The
committee was authorized by the
sens.: o visit- Brownsville, if it

people of Brownsville should do all

so.
of Falfurrias' enterprise and ot
Brownsville's apparent lack of that
quality lies doubtless in the fact
that Falfurrias has a chamber of
commerce, while Brownsville has
nothing of the short. This place,
however, did haveabusiness men's
organization, which should have
done for Brownsville what the Fal
furrias organization did for that
place. But there will be another
year and another fair, and there
may be a revival of the Browns
ville Business Men's Club in time
to remedy the past year's ignomin
ious failure in that line, and to
take advantage of the same op
portunity next year to make a
suitable display from this county
at San Antonio. Let us hope so,
at any rate.

the beauties of the place, instead
of keeping their eyes glued to the
prnund . for fear of breaking their
necks on some of our terrible side

A Japanese Fable.
Once unon a time a man discov
ered the fountain of -youth. Tnamcs
to its manic, he. teturned voumr,
fitrnnrr nnd heartv to the land from
which but a short time before he
haii dnnnrtfid an old and feeble man.
The first person he met after his
return was an old woman, and he
told her about the fountain. The
wnm.nn Icnew a srood thiner when sh&
o a
heard it, and she at once set .off
to seek rejuvenation upon her own
account. The next day when the
man strain rerjaired to the fountain
he found by its side a few days' old
babe. It was the woman. She had
overdone it.

Deafness Cannot be Cured
bv local aonlications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deamess is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is inflam
ed von have a rumbling sound or imper
fect hearinc. and when it is entirely clos
ed, Deafness is- the resnlt, and unless tne
nflammation 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 inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred.Dollars for
