which position he held until his eleva-
tion to the bench In 1887. Elected re-
preventative in the Legislature IN 1884
to 1856. he was leader OF the opposition to
the extravaganza and corruption which pre-
cipitated the revolution Of 1887. He was
member of the Executive Council OF the no
yolutiouists OF 1887, but withdrew before the
cnlmination, being too conservative to agree
With the radical action then taken. After
that he was appointed Judge Of the Su-
preme Court, in 1887, which position he has
allied with the greatest credit to himself and
satisfaction to the people until he resigned
It to assume the position he now holds.

The Secretary in his report gives an ac-
count OF the operation of the Marine Hospi-
tai service and Of the good work done under
its supervision In preventing the entrance
and spread of contagious diseases.
The admonitions OF the last two years
touching our public health and the demon
strated danger Of the introduction. OF con-
tagious diseases from foreign ports have in
vested the subject OF National quarantine
With increased interest. A more general and
harmonious system than now exists, acting
promI tly and directly everywhere, and con-
stantly operating BY preventive means to
shield our country from tho invasion OF dis
ease, and at the same time having due re-
gard to the rights and duties OF local agen-
cias, would, believe, add greatly 10 the
safety OF our people.
WORK or THE ARMY.
The Secretary OF War reports that the
strength Of the army on the 30th day of Sep
tember last was 25,778 enlisted men and 2144
officers.
Neither Indian outbreaks nor domestic vio-
lenca have called the army into service dur

duty required Of 1t has been in the Depart
ment OF Texas. where violations Of the neu-
trality laws Of the United States and Mexico
were promptly and efficiently dealt with by

.- FORESTRY AND AGRICULTURE.
The report of the Secretary OF Agriculture
will be found exceedingly interesting, espe-
oially to that large part OF our citizens init
mately concerned in agricultural occupa-
tions.
IespeciaIly commend, to the attention Of
| the Congress tho statements contained In the
Secretary's report concerning forestry. The
| time has come when efficient measures
should be taken for the preservation OF our
| forests from indiscriminate and remediless
! destruction.
The regulations OF 1892 concerning Texas
| fever have been enforced during the last
year, and the large stockyarjs OF the coun-
| try have been kept free from infection. Oc-
casionally local outbreaks have been large

guarded against BY tho owners OF the af-

Is still prevalent Investigations have been
made during tbs past year as to the means

correct diagnosis. Much progress has been
made in this direction by the studies OF the
division of animal pathology, but work ought
to be extended in cooperation with local
authorities until tho danger to human life
arising from this cause is reduced to mini
