The Prevention of Cholera.

The international sanitary confer

susceptible of epidemic extension Is
not developed spontaneously, except
in India, and when 1t appears In other
countries il Is invariably by introduc-
ton from without The evidence Oh
the truth OF this conclusion is over

reared in America unless Europe has
been first afflicted. With these facts
before us, there is abundant evidence
that municipal cleanliness Is abso-
lutely necessary to prevent the intro
duction of the disease into our coun-
try. How best to- secure this re-
suit is the only question with which
we have now 10 deal. Municipal

Free Grass in Red River County

The following letter is only one of
many instances going to show the
growth of the anti-lease law sentiment.
AS the question is agitated as men
see the operation of the lease law to be
detrimental to the settlement of the
West and the growth aud prosperity
of that section; as men see how the
settlement of the West would do more
to diminish taxation than the lease
law would; rs men see that the whole
state would be benefited by repeal
of the lease law, the cause of anti
lease grows. Probably no cause in
any state ever made such progress as
free grass has made in Texas in the
last ninety days, especially when the
strength aud nature of the opposition
to ii are considered. The very term
free grass is misleading and, at
first, offensive. But as men read
and learn its true meaning the
offensiveness is lost. AS men learn
that free grass simply means that land
policy in the future for Texas which
obtained In the state until the present
year, and under which Texas grew
and prospered; as men learn that free
grass simply means u land policy for
Texas like that which the general gov
eminent has always maintained and
by which the Northwestern states
have been so rapidly settled and made
great and prosperous; as men learn
that free grass simply means a return
TO the old-time policy of Texas, tn.
cause of anti'lease grows and spreads
Judging the future by the past, it /.
safe to say that no matter what thu
Houston convention may do, the mex
legislature will contain a majority o
} anti-lease members--for the discussion
and agitation of the question will no
cease until the day of election.-ant
