CHOLERA SPREADING.

The dispatches from Rome and Vienna
published this morning, indicate the prob
able beginning of another cholera cpl
demic in that quarter A popularity of
the malady observed in connection with
the present outbreak in southeastern Eu-
rope, is a deadly malignity that attached
neither to the recent French and Spanish
epidemics, nor the disease when it last
swept over Egypt. 1t is stated in the dis
patch that a feature of this fatal malig-
nifty of the disorder is the extreme sever
ity of the cramps in the stomach, and the
rapidity with which death follows the at
tack. In many instances, it is stated,
death closes the scene within an hour
after the first symptoms.
Or course, the dispatches convey no in
telligence of any remedy for this terrible
plague, which scatters death, desolation
and mourning in the countries to which it
has gained access.
AS to the causes, the researches of the
distinguished German philosopher, Koch,
have thrown satisfactory light upon the
origin, popularity and pathology of the
disease.
Science has accepted the fact establish
ed by DR.. Koch, that living microscopic
organism Is the cause of cholera. He has
demonstrated the existence of the cholera
microbe. Hence, all the old theories
about cholera originating from filth, and
want of cleanliness in cities, have been
exploded, just as the Brazilian physician,
Freire's discovery of the micrococei of
yellow fever, has shown, neither filth nor
foul air-the old idea has anything to
do with producing that disease.
The discoveries of DR.. Koch concerning
cholera, have a deep interest for us in
America. They warn us to put no faith
whatever in that argument generally used
by the country editor in the summer
season-"cleaning up"-so far as the Or
igination of cholera is concerned, although
sanitary science shows the health of cities
cannot be maintained without cleanliness,
and that filth does aggravate,if it does not
tend to propagate, a cholera epidemic,
once it has gained foothold.
All that can save us from cholera reach
ing our shores, is a strict national quaran-
tine against infected ports and countries.
That such quarantine will be establish
ed, there is little probability. Therefore,
the chances are we shall be, in the near
future, visited by the plague which has
generally travelled west.

SMITHS DECLINATION.

Hon. Felix Smith, we have the best OF
authority for stating, is out of the rSce
If so, the position assumed by him is an
honorable one, and the democracy OF
Travis county should, on some future oc-
casion, remember him. Without doubt
Mr.. Smith is strong man in the county
and his running as an Independent candi-
date would, undoubtedly, lessen the
chances of success to the regular county
democratic ticket. In declining to run
Mr.. Smith has shown good sense, and a
patriotic desire not TO jeopardize the best
interests of his fellow citizens by contri-
buting to the possibilities of democratic
defeat.

OVER THE FALLS.
A MAN ATTEMPTS THE FEAT OF
WEBB.

l. L
WEBB.
BUFFALO, July ia very few of the
thousands of persons who visited Niagara
falls to-day had any idea that another adj
ventuous man would attempt to swim the
whirlpool rapids, in which Capt. Webb
lost his life. For some time past G. D. Ora
ham has been making preparations for the
attempt, but few persons really believed
that his courage would hold out long
enough for him to make it. Such, however
was not the case, and about O'Clock this
afternoon, Graham started on his perilous
voyage, which he successfully accomplish
ed. Graham had told the reporter all
about his plans, and stated that he would
carry them out at the time he did, but
requested that the time not be given
in publishing articles, for fear
the authorities would prevent him
in his purpose. Accordingly, very few
were among the spectators. Graham kept
the cask in which he intended to make
his trip in saloon in this city. About II
O'Clock last night he loaded it on a wagon
and, accompanied by several friends
started for the falls. They arrived there
about this morning, unloaded the cask
at point on the American side of the
river below the falls, about 300 rods above
the cantilever bridge. A policeman ar,
rested him on suspicion of being Iona
wanda horse-thief, but his Buffalo friends
secured his release on bail. When every
thing was ready Graham got into the bar
rel and closed the man-hole at the top. AT
this point of the river the current is very
light. A small boat tOwed the cask out
into the river to point where the current
would catch it, and where Graham started
on what might have turned out to be his
trip to eternity. The towing process took
only few minu es, and then the stream
caught the cask and started it toward the
whirlpool. At first it moved slowly down,
then faster and faster, until the mad cur
rent dashed it on with its full force. The
cask bounded up and down over the great
waves and several times turned a com
plete somersault, but the wider portion re-
manned uppermOst, although it turned
around like top. The cask kept pretty
well in the center of the river until ii
reached the whirlpool, when it struck
strong side current and was car
ried swiftly through, reaching the
waters beyond in safety. From
here the journey was comparatively quiet.
The cask was picked up at Lewiston,
about five miles below the starting point,
and Graham crawled out of the barrel,
with only slight bruise on his arm. He
remarked: "When struck the eddies it
was one continued round of jerks, but l
am not hurt bit" Graham is a native
of Philadelphia, SO years old, and a
cooper by trde. He is a poor man, and
did this thing for glory.
The cask is feet long, 33 inches in
diameter at the widest portion, 90 inches
at the top, and IS inches at the bottom.
1t is bound around with iron hoops, which
weigh $50 pounds. The ballast which was
attached to the cask to keep it in posi-
ton, weighs 240 pounds. Graham will
probably repeat the trip. He says he
will yet go over Horsethoe falls.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.

The proceedings of the Texas Bar
association, at Dallas, will be found of
interest this morning. One of the most
important matters before the association
and one that concerns the people of the
whole state, is the proposition to amend
the constitution by changing the judiciary
article. The points are we'll brought out
in Colonel Peelers speech before the con-
vention yesterday, extracts from which are
presented in this issue. 1t is we'll known,
as Colonel 4'eeler says, that nearly all the
leading lawyers, jurists and public men of
the state favor the change.
There is one point which we especially
endorse; that is: if the next legislature
should agree to submit the proposed
amendment to the people, it should, in
justice to the interests of the people and
state generally, contain the clause abolish
ing peripatetic supreme and appellate
courts, and centralize the same perma-
nently at the state capital, where they
ought to be.

MEET MEXICO HALF WAY.

At this late date in the session of con
gress a resolution has been introduced
calling upon the president for informa-
ton relative to the probable advantages
or disadvantages to accrue to the United
States by the operation of reciprocity
treaty with Mexico" In due course of
events it is supposed the requested in
formation will be given congress upon
it's next assembling, and under the prompt
(?) action of that body something may be
done in the matter by 1890. In the mean
time what is going on? On the eastern
boundary of Mexico, Texas has border
line of a thousand miles or more; on the
northern boundary United States interests
border Mexico for another thousand
miles. What affect does this proximity
have upon Texas and other contiguous
states and territories? This whole
line of two thousand miles offers
an unbroken front to pillage and out
lawry - is standing invitation to
disorder as crime perpetrated within a
mile of the border line is provided with
immunity, when once the line is crossed.
And this not solely with reference
to extradition treaties, which
stand alone and of right, be-
cause of that comfy of nations, voiced
in International Law; but because of all
those little petty disturbances, those little
pilfering expeditions, of which a great
nation could not fritter away its time in
taking judicial notice; but which furnish
a constant source of annoyance, and tend
to engender sectional, then state, then ma
tional distrust, antiFathy and, at last, re-
venge. Under reciprocity treaty, and
when the pulse of the conjoined nations
beats with common impulse of mutual
good to each, then, still it is possible fol-
this border warfare to continue but un
der surveillance to the interest of each
side the line to strictly enforce; until a
length sense of right and justice il
brought home to these depredators, anC
the occasion for surveillance is uprooted.
But this boader immunity would a
most be principally local good; while {
reciprocity treaty with Mexico, in its full
est acceptation, means an incaculablt
good to Texas and the United States
But especially is this matter of yer!
great interest to us in Texas. With GU
railroads tapping that country in severa
places, with our vast quantity of product
ready to be shipped there, instead o.
1000 miles north to New York or Chica
go, and with our great need of very man
things just to hand in Mexico, but whic
we only get after terribly roundabout
journey, and then with the added expens,
of unnecessary travel; it does seem rea
sonable that our representative men il
Washington should be unremitting in thei

ADVANCE man in position, if you want

sphere, but that he had not the essential
requirements fitting him for the post just

attaching to him. Garland was high
toned, chivalrous gentleman, a man OF
honor and integrity, a true and loya
democrat while in the senate-now, as at
