THE democratic journals do not
like the beautiful unanimity of the
epublicans' on the tariff bill. No
doubt it is somewhat aggravating.
Did the democrats suppose that be-
cause each individual republican in
congress could not get a tariff bill
exactly to suit him that he would
bolt the measure and vote with the
democrats to defeat it? The republic
can congressman will do their Uest to
secure measure that will be gener-
ally acceptable, with as few objection
able feature as possible, and then
they will pass such a measure, and
the president will sign it, and it will
become law, and tariff discussion
will be largely at an end tor a season.

PERMITTING the democratic jour
nails Of New York to be their own
judges of the situation, there is not a
ghost of a chance for either Hill or
Cleveland as a presidential candi-
date in 1892. These democratic au-
thorities are conclusive to the fact
that Cleveland could not carry New
York and that if Hill could cary New
York he could not carry any other
northern state. The outlook is not
such as to cause a good republican
much weeping and wailing and
crashing Of teeth.

A CLEAR STATE RIGHT.

does not prevent gross careIessness
on the part of the state in many things
pertaining to the sacredness of human
life. In fact there is no question that
the rights of property are more gen.
orally enforced, and offences against
such rights more vigorously punished
than are the offences against the per-
son. While this is true of acts OF
violence and other offences against
security of person, it is doubly true Of
those offences arising from negligence,
ignorance and the whole train of
human indifference to life and its Sc
curity. Our legislation is wofully de-
ficient in humane enactments and
precautionary measures tended to
lessen the dangers to which men
are exposed in their persons
and families, from the ministry
of ignorance and incompetency
permitted by the carelessness or ava
rice or thOughtlessness of the state.
AS all example of this, take the phar-
macy law of Texas, or rather the
lack of adequate provision by law
against the daily dangers arising
from an ignorant and uninstructed
dispensation of deadly drugs. The
lives of the people of this state, and
their health also, are at the mercy of
the dispensers of drugs, the COM
Founders Of medical prescriptions and
no requirement by law atall adequate
to insure that these prescriptions
shall be rightly compounded, these
deadly drugs administered as pre-
scribed The law has finally taken
hold of the medical end of the pre-
scriptlOn, and insists that no one
without a specified training and des-
ignated license from due medical au-
thoritles shall practice medicine; but,
what license and qualification and
examination is required of the man
who takes the prescription and pre-
pares it for the patient? a knowledge
of drugs. of the materia medica Oh
the part of the COmpOuuder is indis-
densable to safety III the administra-
ton of medicines, and such knowl-
edge cannot be insured without
a stringent pharmacy law pro-
viding for the examination and
Ofpharmacists by cOmDetent
authority. The last legislature OF
this state was impOrtuned to pass a
law. restricting the COmpOundiug of
medicines and the administration of
drugs to prOperlv licensed pharma-
cists, but thew refused, because it
would cost the taX-payers of Texas q
few hundreds annually to paw the
necessary expenses of a board of ex-
animation. When the state shows

THE prOhibitiOnists are realizing
the meaning Of the decision of the su-
preme court and are endeavOring to
defeat it by special congressional leg
islation. There is no boubt that the
supreme court decision in its last an
alysis means that prohibition laws
such az now obtain in Kansas, Iowa
and other states are unconstitutional.
1t can be easily maintained that if
the state has no riget to prohibit sales
in bottle coming from another state
it has no right to prohibit at all. To
clear understanding of this whole
matter another supreme court decision
will be necessary.

drink fair and talk fair until the gates
open and then attend the fair.

CAR GRASSES STOLEN

From tho II. & o. Ynrds md Three Sixth,
Wnrders Arrested, and Charged with the
Theft.
About FIVE O'Clock yesterday morning
the grocery store belonging to Mr.. Fred
Weisgerber, No. 2GCG Chapline street,
was entered and q aack OF flour, a Get Of
dishes, several loayes Vi bread and about
a pound OF coffee were taken. 1t is
thought the thieves got in their work
shortly after Mr.. Weiegerber left to at
tend market. When Nr. Weisgesber
returned he was informed Of the loss by
his wife, and made n thorough search
about the premises. While thus engaged
he was informed by a neighbor who had
heard Of the robberysiu the meantime,
that three boys or young men had been
seen shortly before uncarthing some
thing from u cinder pile on the river
bank, and that they had loaded it in two
wooden buckets and carried it to the
back yard OF John McGinlcy's saloon, a
few yards below Weisserber's.
Mr.. Wciseerber investigated and
found "Luter" Hess, VIM. Flynn and
John La Rue in McGiniey's back yard
trying to make some coffee. None OF
the goods stolen were to be seen, how
ever, but instead the buckets were found
to contain about two hundred pounds
Of brass which was stolen the day before
from the Baltimore & Ohio shops. The
police were informed and later in the
day arrested Hess and Flynn, and last
evening La Rue was found on the South
Side by Truschel and Herbert and
brought to the lookup The three
worthless were taken before Squire
Davis, who held them under two hum
dred dollars bond each, in default OF
which they were sent to Jail to await a
hearing tonight at Z o'clock.
For sometime past brass has been re-
peatedly taken from the Baltimore &
Ohio shops and yards and an inyestiga-
ton will be made which may show who:
is to blame ior all the thefts. Hess, it
will DO remembered, was released from
Jail but a short time ago, where he was
sent under the bad fame act ior a year
by. Justice Davis.
