1t is to be hoped that the timely ac-
ton Of the general government and the
municipal authorities Of some Of the
cities In adopting precautionary mea-
sures against theintroduction of cholera,
will be heartily seconded by all the
people of this land. Some of us reInem-
ber the former visitation of this terrible
scourge. The hot-beds of this disease
should receive prompt attention al to
location and condition--hen roosts and
pig pens. The germs of disease are
generated in these places and carried
by the atmosphere to the nostrils and
so into the lungs Of every human being
inhaling the air. Every person owning
such establishments owen it to himself,
family and neighbors to see to 1t that
they all be 10 placed and in such a
condition that no one should be COM
PEELED when he seeks rest in sleep to
fill his lungs with poisonous atmos-
phere, heavy with disease and death.
No one certainly has either moral or
legal right to Place und. the nostrils OF
another nest of impurities, which ag-
gravate the tendency OF climatic in
iiuences, to producethat fearful scourge
with which we are now threatened. Let
every one be wise in time, and grea,
misery may be avoided.

A Monkey. with q Crutch.

krom tno fsost0p HERALD.
Armed with select assortment Of
surgical instruments, and accompa
MED by a reporter, Saturday afternoon,
DR.. Watts approached large cage in
the upper part Of his repository on
Kneeland street, in which poor little
monkey clung desperately to his perch.
This particular monkey was a native
Of Bania, and belongs to the ring
Species Three weeks ago he escaped
from his owners, and broke his right
leg Just above the knee. Modification
had set In and amputation was ne
c+ssary to save the animals life so he
had been turned over to DIR. Watts for
treatment. He weighed but FIVE pounds
and was very weak from his injury.
1t was the Doctors purpose to take off
this leg, 80 he adjusted his eyeglasses
rolled up his sleeves, madea cone out OF
y towel, inserting sponge soaked with
ether, and then proceeded to put the
little sufferer under the influence of the
annsthetic. After the monkeys strug-
giles ceased the doctor went to work.
Selling his knife, he cut up the skin
about two inches lower down the leg
than where he intended to cut the bone.
Upon turning up the flaps Of skin,
1t was observed that the monkeys leg
was exactly like that OF human
being.
DIR. Watts first severed the art ries,
picked them up and tied them securely
with silk thread. He cut The muscles,
and then, with fine saw, severed the
bone. More ether was administered,
the reporter acting AZ his assistant.
Great care and skill were necessary, for
the animal was very much exhausted,
but the doctor knew just what to do,
and how to do it. Scarcelya quarter
of an ounce of blood was lost during
the operation, which was thoroughly
successful in every way. The doctor
next drew down the flaps Of skin and
sewed them over the stump with silk
thread. A few bandages, and all was
over.
Tenderly the doctor took his dumt
patient to an open window and allowed
him to breathe fresh, cool air. The ex'
preston on the monkeys face was a
study. His every look was that Of q
human being. His eyes opened, and he
stared wildly about at first then be
acted more naturally. AS he saw his
amputated leg, and seemed to realize
what had happened, and that he was
still alive, an expression of wonder and
astonishment could plainly be seen
upon his little face. Carefully he was
laid upon mound of clean straw In his
cage He tried to walk about with the
leg which was not there.
Then he smelled of the bandage and
rolled about bit, finally curling ur
and going to sleep as II perfectly salts
fled. He seemed to know that wha
had been done was for the best, and ht
looked through the bars at the doctor
with grateful expression on his face
In six weeks from now he will be al
lively and as interesting as ever, and
will scarcely miss his lost member.
The doctor certainly performed an ex
tremely delicate operation, and on'
which has never been done before "
this country. 1t must certainly be 1

safely operated upon as human beings

And now comes the San Antonio
Express, In the plenitude Of it's wis
dom, and declares:
The people OF Texas are generous. espe

and they have so grea; an Interest a. stake
that they can spend nnmense sums OF money
10 gain their point. but they will never sue
csed while honesty prevails In the legisla,iy,
halls of Texas.
The Express Is an enterprising
journal. 1t has Hans Mickle and
other correspondents roaming all the
time through the cactus-covered plains
OF Southwest Texas and out as far as
the Rio Grande. Let IL call In these
gentlemen and send them up into
Northwest Texas. Give them instruc-
tons TO 60 with their eyes aud ears
open, TO see and hear all that is to be
seen or heard concerning free grass
and the lease law question. Instruct
them TO write frankly and without
restriction Of everything they shall
learn. If the Express will do this It
will revise some OF its theories about
free grass. We know that 1t will
modify its opinions, for II is only the
fool who never changes his mind, and
the Express is very far from being a
fool. 1t will find that the demand for
free grass Is not confined TO the rich
pasture men. 1t will discover that
poor men, whose herds and fiocks are
small, almost Insignificant rs to num-
bers, are unified in opposition to the
lease laws. The poor man knows,
better than anybody else, the tenefi-
cence OF free grass. He has seen what
1t has done for himself and others, he
recognizes what.it will do for those who
are yet TO come and share the country
with him. The argument Of the Ex.
press that the anti-lease movement il
rich mans movement is simply fall
lacious and will not stand analysis. IL
Is Intended to array the poor voter, in
the agricultural counties, against the
movement to keep freeigrass FOR North
west Texas. Will the Express inves-
tigate and publish the result? We
want II to find out, for itself, that this
Is pcoptc's increment. Free grass
made the rich and populous counties
of Hill, Ellis, Falls, Bell, McLcnnan,
Tarrant and many others what they
are now. twill do rs much for North
west Texas II the lease laws, as they
now stand, are repealed. Asa matter
of fact 1t Is the poor man, above all
others, who Ia interested In having
free.grass. Keep the existing leas,
laws In force and the poor man will b,
fenced out, driven ont. The rich
monopollsts can lease and fence; tn,
poor man cannot. Enforce these law,
and the settlement and development
OF IA fine section of country as there
Is In Texas will be retarded for wears,
Again we invite the Express to inves.
tigate.
