that there are "four cases of small
pox on College Hill, one of our
suburbs. The Interstate News of
this morning also states the same
thing. There are no cases of the
disease on College Hill, pgoper, and
such news is altogether wrong. The
East side Board Of Health, at noon
yesterday, located four cases Of
varioliod in the country, in isolated
residences, and requested the city
press to so state the matter, One
of the families, (Mr. Kramer, T,
and P. baggagenan), lives fully a
half mile from Dunn's store on Col
lege Fill, in the country, and isolat-
ed from any other house; the other
family Mr.. Oats, fully mile from
College Hill, Errors like those pub
hshed are inexcusable, in view of
the action taken bytheSBoard of
Health to give it correctly to the
public.

THE QUESTION SETTLED.

The commissioners counted the
prohibition vote at Boston yester-
day, and we made several efforts to
learn the exact majority but,
strange to say everyone we APP
preached said, 81 did know, but !
have forgotten You can say, how
ever that the majority was suf-
ficiently large to keep down any
contest the ants may have antici'
pated making on this score, should
il have been a close vote, Our in
formants all said that the Commits
sioners' court had issued an order,
and would have it published in the
New Boston Herald four times, Civ
ing the saloon men just thirty days
to "wind up their ball of yarn"
This being the truth, our dram
shops will all close on the 10Th day
Of April, at u o'clock, high noon,
This means for Bowie county, the
city of Texarkana and the state, a
Topping off Of $4,000 in taxreyenues
on twenty-five dram shops license,
besides some five hundred dollars
taxes on pool tables, The prohibit
tionists claim, and justly 80, that
with all this money taken away, the
state, county and city will be the
gamer by Il decreasein crimes which
are brought about by the effects Of
whisky, The saloon men Of Texar-
kama, with one accord, will close up
and the ''blInd tiger" racket we
hear 50 much about will not be at
tempted by one Of these men in
business now, and If Others attempt
It they should be dealt with severe
ly and the law tested to its fullest
extent, in regard to prohibition In
Texas. We have heard II said
that the law Gxes no penalty for a
violation of the prohibition act, II
such is the case, and the law is de-
ncient, the friends of prohibition
should demand Of the Texas Legs
lature, now in session, to amend II
so as to make 1t plain to all, that If
we are are to have prohibition let us
have It right, and have no "blind
tiger dives and club rooms, which
would breed more drunkenness thar
all the open saloons in chrstendom.
Give us a strong prohibition law,
and the friends Of law and order
will look to It's enforcement,

A CAPITALIST FOR FREE SILVER.

Mr. S M Inman, of Atlanta, Ga, is
one of the most successful and con
sentative business men Of the south
He has Just returned from Mexico,
where he has been visiting for some
time. He comes back a stronger
silver man than ever. Here is what
he has to say about the situation
down there:
81 returned from Mexico a
stronger silver man than ever,
said Mr., S. M, Inman, head of the
we'll known cotton house of S. M.
Inman & Co., yesterday,
Mr. Inman visited Mexico for
nearly month, In company with
Captain W. G. Raoul of the Mexi.
can and International railroads
II took things leisurely, said
he, Every carefully observing bust
ness and industrial conditions, ]
find that Mexico has prospered dur
ing the last two years, when bust
ness conditions in our country have
been clogged where they have not
been actually going backward,
Cotton in Mexico is selling at 161 a
pound in silver, which is equal to 81
cents in our money, | paid ST. so in
silver for a suite of rooms, which in
this country would have cost $40 in
gold, A suit of clothes, a pair of
gloves, a hat, or any item of domes-
tic necessity sells in Mexico for
approximately the same amount in
silver that we are required to pay
here in gold, In other words, about
half as cheap. This establishes
very clearly to my mind the absurd
ity of the argument about silver
being depreciating currency, A
silver dollar in Mexico will do what
is done by a gold dollar in this coun-
try, and it has been the apprecia-
ton Of gold and not the deprecia-
ton of silver which has brought
about the disparity, ! found the
factories running on full time and
cotton factory at Orizba capitalized
at So, 10000 was paying from 20 to
% per cent dividends. The people
are contented and prosperous, and
have not suffered from the general
depression during the past few
wears. The truth of the matter Is
the silver currency of Mexico has
acted as a splendid protection mea-
sure against outside depression, and,
as it has resulted in Mexico, so II
would be in this country If we would
initiate the example Of Mexico in
this respect, and throw ourselves
upon our own resources
Mr.. Inman promises the Constitu-
ton at an early day a more detail
cd expression Of his observation
while in Mexico and it is needless
to say his views will be studied with
unusual interest by the readers of
the Constitution in whose opinion

As TO SMALL POX.
Doctors DiSagrOG,..IS il
Small POX or Chicken
POX?

The four cases of disease out in
the country, from on to two miles,
is in dispute. Two doctors, S. A.
Simmons and r, W. Reed, diagnose
it as varioloid, or mild cases Of
small poX; two other doctors H. O..
Webster and Chas. A, Reed, say it
is plain chicken pox. All four ply
sicians have examined the cases
thoroughly
Nearly all of the physicians in the
city express willingness to 60 out
and diagnose the disease, and it is
likely quite number of them will
do so this afternoon, This is a
laudable move on their part, and is
certainly the correct thing to do,
TeXarkana and the world should not
be kept in the dark as to the true
nature Of the disease; if it is small
poX, we will keep it isolated and
quickly stamp it out, and if it is not
we should at once stop all worry
and expense, and promptly inform
the outside world Of the truth about
it.
STRINGENT PRECAUTIONARY MEAS
UREs.
AS stated by this paper yester-
day, every possible precaution has
been taken-guards placed at the
two houses in the country and a
rigid quarantine established, etc,
The editor of this paper saw and
talked with Mrs, ]. A, Kramer, Cat
a distance) and her little son, Fred,
who has recovered from the disease,
She says that chicken pox has been
in different families around her for
some time, and that she believes
with Drs. G, A. Reed and II, A,
Webster, that disease is simply
chicken poX,
Prof, j. II, Owings, at the Inter
State College, informed us as to
chicken ,poX having existed for
some time past He says if disease
proves to be small poX, the College
will be closed down at once.
AS there is a disagreement among
the physicians here DR.. Jennings of
Little Rock, who is the state health
officer, should be telegraphed to
come and examine and make re-
