General Grant dined Monday with
Senator Miller of California, Tuesday
with Mr. Secretary Frelinghuysen and
Wednesday with the president. Grant
has many strongly attached personal
friends. Honers and wealth iavished
on him have wrought no change In his
personal habits or relations to men.
His manners and bearing are as sim
pie and unaffected as when he played
polka among the Digger "injunsn or
hauled wood to market in ST. Louis.
But Arthur, of whom some one said
that he Is the dead cat thrown BY the
disgusted Conkling at his enemies in
Chicago because Garfield, instead of
Grant, was nominated, is most

Doctors have slowly reached the con-
clusion that disease is living animal.
If they can. learn how TO. kill the
spores, without killing the patient, the
profession will be crowned with DEATH
less honors. An old graveyard, in
which are many bodies of those who
died of cholera in 1882, must be con-
verted into streets and residence prop
erty. But the doctors say that the
are in the soil about the
bones and decayed collins and
TINT they must not be disturbed.
Sunlight and air will revivify the
spores and cholera rage In its old
haunts of 1892. There is lesson in
these facts for uncleansed, unsewered
towns and villages of Texas. Half the
people die because they must inhale
spores from sinks and vaults and from
rotting filth in foul streets and gut
tiers. A backyard pit, full of foul ex-
cretions and reeking in southern sun
light, sends up exhalations by day and
night fatal to human life. Each stencil

system by myriads of deadly spores
and malignant fevers are only de-
velopments of forces they exert.
CLIMBING THE GOLDEN STAIR.
Eastern newspapers forget how Gui-
teau was translated by his confessor.
He climbed the golden stair set upon
his gailows by the exponent of his re-
ligious faith. So of the bartender
killed the other day in New York, and
so of the negroes recently hanged In
Texas. Never were the powers oil
saving grace more vigorously illus,
trated, and yet Bob ingersoll is SUI:
fered to live and preach. Hardly 8
rogue swings beneath the gallows
| that some idiotic godly attendant
does not announce to inquirine
| friends that the dear departed
found the gates of Paradise ajar, and
angelic arms wide open to receive him
Such twadddle might be tolerated
down East, but was hardly anticipated
when it came from Texan gallows las
Friday by telegraph.
BREWSTER.
Brewster's confidential factotum i!
Brewster Cameron, of whom much il
known in Texas. Cameron is esteemed
malignant, malicious devil. III,

two lawyers 500 per diem as assistant
star route prosecutors, and another $50
In all, he has paid lawyers employed

ploying Bliss and others to do hi

lished maledictions, leveled at the

on decency and civic rights. His con
duct in this behalf finds no justifica

officer of the crown, preiudges Dor

nothing whether Dorsey be innocent

represents, deems him innocent till III

in a published illumination of hi
wrath, pronounces him a thief anC
