A PAIR OF LEARNED DOCTORS


How doctors disagree is shown by
a case in point at Beaumont, in this
state. where great deal of anxiety
and much probable infection might
have been avoided by doctors being
able to tell cases of smallpox from
syphilis. A negro woman, from Cal
weston, was taken sick, and Doctors
Jordon, of Beaumont, and Chamber
lain, of Sabine Pass, declared her af-
fected with smallpox. Beaumont
has city physician, named DR.. Gill
der, an NJ. D., of course, and therefore
very learned man in his profession,
as all city physicians are known to be,
He pronounced the case syphilis, and,
speaking officially and having a city
council behind him to indOrse, because
of councilmen's superior intelligence,
his wisdom, the case was imposed up
on an unsuspecting family, where it
was kept under inspection. After the
case had been on hand about two
weeks this same very learned DR..
Glider, city physician, concluded to
submit his opinion to the very learn
ed physician and practitioner of Hous,
ton, DR.. Burroughs, who visited the
case, and then and there, after a most
searching professional, diagnosis un
qualifiedly endorsed the opinion OF the
learned city physician. OF course
these other doctors that had pronounc
ed the case smallpox, felt crestfalleI
when the accomplished NJ. d. from thu
! metropolitan city of Houston, decided
against them, and the elevated Dr.
Glider invested then, no doubt, Il
new and elegant office furniture ant
such things, preparatory to command
ing all the practice of Beaumont
' DR.. Boroughs was immense, and b
= was fully as great medical man a
S the metropolitan doctor. But thing
r did notconcatinate so as to work on
? the most supreme glory for these tw
S distinguished doctors. A child wa
taken sick in the family, upon whic
the sick woman had been imposed
r and DR.. Glider pronounced this cas-
o syphilis. 1t may be supposed COZ
s siderable fuss was kicked IL
e about this time by the other doctors
: for soon the state healt
g officer, DIR. Swearenger. wa
! called to the scene, and h
e pronounced the cases smallpox. L
the meantime DIR. Glider has foun
out that he is attacked just like tn
woman. and syphilis it may be wit
y him and DIR. Burroughs, but to a
the rest of the world it is smallpox
1t would make very little differenC
if he were taken off by it, nor if h
T. noted confrere should succumb to til
= disease; but the probability of
i loathesome malady, becoming epiden
. ic among people, through the il
i norance of pair of presumption
D doctors, is not to be treated otherwis
= than seriously. Drs. Glider an
= Burroughs might, profitably to the
e communities, emigrate to the Pacif
n slope, and kill off Chinese by treatin

To SHOW an unfortunate tendency
to depravity, where it should least be
expected, a correspondent writes
from Uniontown, Pa, as follows:
Ever since his dastardly conduct
toward Miss Mutt and his acquittal
for murder, respectable ladies have
received his attentions and auarreled
with each other for his addresses or
his passions. You may win the pas
sions of n. L. Dukes, but his love
forever is mine,' writes one to another.
His effects are said to be freighted
with tender missives, showing many
conquests and innumerable amourS.
1t is a queer phase of human nature
when the life and vices of such a
man are opened to the world that he
could still find his way into the soci-
ETY. of respectable women. II is this
aspect Of remarkable case that has
made much of this trouble and caused
such ruin"

Stieklers for Customs and Traditions

In accordance with time honorrd
custom, the grand jury, which has
about concluded its labers, accom-
panied by Sheriff Smith. went to the
poor farm to-day, where they will be
treated to Il sumptuouS vegetable
dinner by superintendent Kinnin.
The jury will return this evening and
report the poor farm in tlourishing
condition. The only excuse whatever
for the grand jury taking in the poor
farm at the conclusion of each ses-
sion, is that it is sanctioned by Gus
tom, and grand jurieS are great stick
lers for the customs and traditions of
the country.

War means business, and western adj

welcome war, because they think
the destruction of the Chinese
army and navy, and conse-

would act as a volcanic influence,

The Civil Rights Act Set Aside.

New YORK Herald.
The United States district court
sitting in Austin, Texas, recently de-
clared unconstitutional the civil
rights act passed by congress in 1875
to secure to colored citizens equal
rights with all other persons in "pub-
lie conveyances on land or water
If the court decides that congress is
not authorized by the constitution to
punish railroad companies for making
unjust discrimination against colored
passengers on roads wholly within a
state the decision is sound. But if
the court means to hold that congress
has no power whatever to protect col
ored passengers against injustice and
outrage in public conveyances the
opinion goes too far.
The fourteenth amendment, as the
United States supreme court has re-
Gently declared, prohibits a state, but
not an individual or a corporation,
from DENYING to colored citizens the
civil rights guaranteed them by
rights act of 1875 can not
be sustained under that amend
ment. But the commercial clause of
the constitution gives TO congress
power to control and regulate inter-
state transportation of freight and
passengers in all aspects. Authority
to prevent unjust discrimination
against cOlored persons on railroads
and boats carrying passengers from
one state to another was expressly
conceded to congress by the supreme
court few years ago in the case of
negro woman who was refused admis-
sion to the cabin set apart for white
persons on Mississippi river steamer
plying between ports of two states.
But while congress has this power
in the case Of interstate transportation
the act of 1875 might be held uncon-
stitutiopal because it's operation is
not limited to the carriage of passen-
gers between states, but extends also
to traffic carried on wholly within the
state. a law unconstitutional in part
is sometimes held to be invalid as a
whole. But this cannot prevent con-
greSS from passing an act applicable
to Interstate transportation exclusive.
