The BROWNSVILLE
HARDWARE CO.
The following has been given to
the press by the .National Rivers
aud, Harbors Congress;
Tiat improvement of the water
ways and harbors of the country is
demanded by every possible and
reasonable necessity of trade and
commerce is no longer debatable.
The question is now at a stage
where the railway interests frankly
confess their inability to keep pace
with the tremendous volume of
freight offerings, and whether that
confession was made willingly or
grudgingly is not to the present
purpose. But it may not be amiss
to suggest that the eyes of the
management of the railways have
batn opened to the fectthat, utiles
inlaud waterways are improved to
navigable stages sufficient to bear
their just proportion of freightoffer
mgs, the manufacturing, com
mercial and agricultural interests
of the country would be iniured
to a degree that would render
practically valueless the invest
ments in railway enterprises.
It is a fact which producer and
consumer have appreciated for
years, to their great injury. But
public sentiment has, at last, been
aroused to. the absolute necessity
for waterway improvement as the
one practical solution of the pro
blem of transportation and means
of transportation constitute the
very fpundation and capstone of
prosperous conditions.
That public sentiment has been
aroused. is a factfor congratulation.
But it would be folly to allow the
fact to breed overjconfidence or to
call a halt, even for a dav. in
preparing to harvest the results of
the demand for waterway improve
ment. threat causes require con
stant, persistent and impelling
- . . -
aciion. 11 is important to arouse
public sentiment. It is more
important to quicken that senti
ment into action by urging on Con
gress the duty it owes to public no
less then to private interests, to
inaugurate during the present ses.
sion, a policy of annual appropria
tions adequat-. in amount and avail
able as the wcrk of inlaud vrateir
way and harbor improvement
progresses, to the end that all sec
tions and all interests may be given
adequate channels for tratihporta-tion-at
once cheap, safe and contin
uous. The National Rivers and Har
bors Congress has done its part
fully. The work of urging on
Representatives and Senatois. the
duty 6T completing the work oi the
National Rivers and Harbors Con
gress should begin at once and be
strong and unmistakable in its de
tails. Public sentiment on the question
i? conceded. Toe rest is work to
bring accomplishment from senti
ment. Bery merchant, every
inmufacturer, every mine operator
every farmer, every shipper and
receiver affected by freight rates or
by freight, congestions, every pub
lic spirited citizen, in fact, should
in writing urge upon his immediate
representative the demand embod-
1 d m pubhee . sentiment , for the
adoption of a fixed policy of an
nual, appropriations, for waterway
improvements iu- sums completely
adequate to the. great work. The
earnestness, of the more -than two
thousand delegates to the Nationaf
Riveraand. Harbors. Congress could
be. shown iano more effective may
then by takiiig.up the matter -with
their Representatives at Washr
ington for the . completion ;of ..the
work in which : they so recently
took active and effective part, . ;It

W.
Hidalgo Advance.
The banquet committee of the
W. O. W. ordered two dozen fine
cakes from Corpus Christi for the
banquet and they were sent out
from Corpus Christi in good order
by express, but when they arrived
here Thursday it was found that
five of the largest and best cakes
had been stolen while en route,
and while in charge of the Wells
Fargo Express Co., and only five
empty boxes were received. There
has been considerable complaint
by people here .who have received
express packages which come up
short. There are some thieves in
the employ of the express com
pany and this last act of high
handed vandalism is the limit and
the express Company must be held
responsible for the conduct of the
men iu its employ. A suit for
damages against the Wells Fargo
Co., will be 4nstituted.aud.it should
be made to pay heavy, damages for
such gross negligence of its. em
ploye. In this connection the
Advance desires to say that no re
flection is intended as to Mr. E.
Mullen the popular local agent at
McAllen, as the thievery and acts'
of vandalism invariably occur be
fore the packages reach his office.
The people here are becoming in
dignant and the thing must be
stopped and the guilty parties
. . 1
punished.
