The stock market to-day was barely steady
et the opening, but soon became weak and
lower on account of unfavorable reports con
cerning the trunk lines and coal combination.

cent below the price of regular. The tfansac

decline outside of Laekawanna ranged from
to II per cent. Texas Pacific was affected by an
adverse decision in the NARROW case Before IL
the temper Of speculation changed to the better,
and the market continued strong throughout the
day. The advance was brought about by good
buying for long account which frightened the

which ranged from to II per cent. In final

EVOLUTION IN MEDICINE.

THE STATESMAN is Indebted to DR..
F. E. Daniel, editor of the Courier
Record of Medicine, for copy of a
portion of proceedings of late con-
ference of state boards of health, held
at st. Louis, at which the subject of
Asiatic cholera in North America and
the action necessary TO prevent or
limit cholera epidemic were ably re-
viewed and considered. AT this meet
ing there were represented twenty
three states and the Dominion of Can
ada and the Province of Ontario.
Though Texas had informal represen-
tation in the body, it is notable and,
at this time, to be regretted TACT, that
our state has no board of health,
Texas, usually so advanced in all
things, has never yet organized
such board. The lack of
such body may be properly tracea-
BILE to the absence of urgency on the
port of the medical men of the state,
but at the last meeting of the State
Medical association it was resolved,
that the organization of a state board
of health was an imperative necessity,
and committee was appointed to
draft a bill and present it to the nine
teenth legislature. That this body
will refuse to adopt the suggestion is
hardly to be supposed. What almost
every othe state and territory has al
ready deemed aneeessity and provided
will not be reg s-tlcd by Texas law.
giyers, in this enlightened and adj
vancd age,a useless appendage of gov
eminent. Existing sanitary ne.
cessities make such a board
a necessity. at this very time, and one
of the first acts of the legislature, un-
doubtedly, will be to put such sani-
tary forces actively at work, without
delay, as may be beneficial at time
when they may be most needed for
pubic health. The pamphlet left be-
fore US is suggestive of the demand
for a state board of health. One of

effect in Europe, and when the next
spring opens 1t is expected to take on
new life and reach out towards all
parts of the continent. 1t has already
found its way across a great ex
panse of ocean-seven thousand miles
Ito Buenos Ayres, and, leaping across

presence in Chilli. That it will reach /
the United States is not regarded as
4 debatable question. The wisdom of
hose who understand sanitary ques-
ions best should be invoked, and
vitality be at once infused into meth
ids which may prevent or limit the

SHORTER PRESIDENTIAL CAM
PAIGNS.


The proIongation of presidential
campaigns is just now coming IL for a
share of comment. The general con-
clusion is, that these contests are made
to occupy too much time; that they
are made too expensive, in consc-
quence, to all the varied interests of
the country, and that they are there
fore fruitful cause of waste and of
accumulated financial embarrassment.
The imperative matters of trade
are neglected, social affairs are
forgotten, and even religion languishes
The manufacturer subordinates in
dustry to politics; the merchant neg
lects his current business to take a
hand in politics; the preacher forgets
his sacred calling of saving souls, and
goes to saving candidates. There is
no telling how intricate the political
campaign becomes in its relation to
ali human conditions. The protract-
ing of such conditions is what is OBJ
jected to. Since they appear to be
necessary consequence of political
campaigns, it is very properly urged
that these campaigns be made as short
as possible. The late campaign lasted
five months, when it should not have
lasted over six weeks. During so long
a period the honest impulses Of men
may be overcome, and they may be
led to vote against what they honestly
know to be right. This has notably
been true of the late campaign. Had
the election been held before enor-
nous sums OF money were turned
loose in New York, Illinois, California
and other states Mr.. Cleveland's ma
jority in the electoral college would
have been much greater than it is. 1t
is hoped we have passed through the
last long and tiresome presidential
campaign.

The IA hionable flower at this sea-
Son is the chTysanthemum. 1t pre-
sents such variety of shapes and
hues as to form by itself bouquet of
the lOvliest sort. There are colors al
most without end-maroon, violet,
cinnamon, purple, buff, ruby, orange,
pink, salmon, cherry, ivory and silver
white, and many others. At the
chrysanthemum show in New York
one of the most curious exhibited was
Julius Scharoff, SchaIoff, a japanese
variety; the blossom shown was
about five inches in diameter, the
quilted rays of a dark rose color,
curved and twisted with the tips
pointing in all directions, making it a
marked flower.

One Thousand Acres of Land and
"R1ght Smart of Bears,

On the deck of big Mississippi steamboat
stood an aged Southern planter. Indicating
bya sweep of his arm the waters the boat was
passing over, he said to a passenger from t G
North: when l was Twelve years old

That was mighty good plantation, and there

THE STATE DEFICIENCY,

The people of Texas are opposed to
bonds. That is their record, and they
are not going to be satisfied with
simple shifting of debt from one
condition to another. If the state has
gone into extraordinary expenditures,
when it should not have done so, let a
lesson be learned therefrom. Instead
of paying as you go, let payments be
made as soon as possible. Increase
taxation, and do not saddl3 posterity
with the expense of present
follieS. With increased tax
alton the state VIII be be-
hind in it's payments for short
while, but that is no new condition.
It is a condition to be deplored, but
the creditors of the state can stand it
until taxes may be collected. Comp
troller Swain warned the government
against these extraordinary expendi-
lures, a year ago, but he was laughed
at then and the expenditures were
made. The officers who laughed then
do not laugh now, and the
people begin to wonder why
public men can rot be statesman
look into. the future and provide for
apparent contingencies and emergeiI-
cies. Nothing was ever more de-
moustrable, year ago. than that
the state was launching out into a
