CANTON, o., Feb Al. Addison Porter,
editor of the Hartford Conn Evening
Post, took lunch and had consultation
with Major Mckinley yesterday He has
been Endorsed by the Connecticut legisla-
ture for minister to Italy, but that was
not the object of his call. It can be def
nitely stated that Mr.. Porter will be pri-
vate secretary to President Mckinley. A
private telegram from Mr.. Porter to a
friend In New York states that he has ac-
copied the position.

There are $4,000 men in New York who
ere under bonds to contribute to the sup-
port of their abandoned wives. The state
ment accompanying the about fact says
that in fifty per cent. of the cases above re-
ferred to the contracting parties were both
in their teens at the time of marriage
twenty per cent. of the wives who invoked
the aid of the courts being under twenty
one years of age. There doubtless are
other causes of marriage failures. but this
is evidently the most prolife.

The coIieetor.s Errors.

The most difficult task that can be i'm
posed on the newspaper editor In town of

on cases of The character revealed by the
report of the Finance Committee of Council

reported IN the proceedings thereof pub
iished Oh another page. Happily such cases
rarely occur, at least here, the only pre-
vious one in our recollection being OF
somewhat similar, but less aggravated
character one year ago, involving the same
officer
If we believed the extent of this offence
against the good name of our city, and the
personal offence against every taxpayer
was underestimated, and the public con-
science here so dulled that it would not,
unaroused, administer punishment IN full
II easure to the crime flor such it is as the
case now stands) then would our faith in
the right of this people to govern them
selves be permanently shaken.
it was entirely proper, it was the Collectors
duty to make collection, as he did, on the
basis of the previous assessment, but it was
his duty, sworn and bounded duty,to enter
the error on the duplicate and place the
money in the City Treasury, which the
Committee find be did not.
That he stands ready to make good the
deficiency after the Committee have found
it, three years after the transaction. is kind
to his bondsnen, nothing more. The peo-
pie would much prefef to have heard from
him that he could show that every dollar
be had received was in the Treasury. He
has nearly TIVE weeks yet to do this, and
the people hope he can do so, preferring
such termination to the fear aroused by
the unanimous report of the Finance Com
mittee, that our Treasurers Office is in IN
faithful hands

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE

Response To DIR. Gray.
To the Editor OF The Post.
! and the thousands OF other citizens of
Houston are so rejoicsd over tho news
which your excellent paper conveys to us
this Sunday morning that there Ia no oc-
casion to continue the correspondence on
this mournrul theme Of yellow fever.

come u byword amongst rs In the future
that he Will be at least forgotten In the
plenil,,de of HIS ignorance.
receive with perfect good grace DR..
Grays structures. and perhaps l deserve
them. but DR.. Gray must remember that
we layInen hear a good many things that
his profession do not. He can form no con-
ception of the donunclatIons that passed
to and fro consequent upon the dread I'M
certainty OF things after the diagnosis OF
DR.. urwitz In the Eva Duncans case. The
public were lett In the dark, and we igno~
ramusos could not help asking why we had
not a concentrated opinion on the part OF
all the available medical skill In tho city
upon one or all OF those cases said TO be
yellow fever by DIR. Guiteras. II was be-
cause OF our profound respect for such an
opinion that hundreds Were indignant that
they could not get IT., and ] am satisfied
that Mr. Cleveland was one OF them.
DR.. Gray will please remember tina. did
not criticise the medical doctors profcs-
sionally, because am not able to do 10 !;
but Or, Gray must know that where a
whole State Ia going to ruin commercially.
and the most vital interests OF tho people
are being sacrificed, no invitation should
be necessary TO draw all the medical force
together voluntarily and by their concur
rent opinion TO assuage the public anxiety.
This was our contention, and etiquette and
sentiment cut no figure In the profound
duty which the profession In such case
owe TO the public. DR.. Gray has but TO
recognize the compulsory ignorance OF the
best cultured laymen In medical lore to see
how helpless the people are In great einer-
gencies such as this that has now happily
passed away
am sure a great number Of your readers
viii be greatly relieved by DR.. Gray's own
opinion that there was no yellow fever In
Houston. and the last act Of the medical
fraternity In this dream Of or. Cuiteras,
viz: inviting the whole outside world to
investigate for themselves. will not alone
have the effect Of restoring conlidenes.
but Will also be the means Of satisfying the
community that we have In our city men
like DR.. Gray, DR.. Stuart. DR.. Harrison and
others who are ready TO fiji tho breach
when the people are In danger.
DR.. Gray will pardon my desire to pre-
serve nom de plume. ! am not OF suf-
ficient Importance TO parade myself in any
way. but have a great love for this city
and this country and It's fair name. and
this must be my excuse for the strength
Of my language In the midst OF most
trying time Of distrust and uncertainty.
