NOW FOR BUSINESS,

The last echo OF 'iGuspiclous fever cases''
having died away. the senseless fear Of
infection having disappeared. and the quar-
antine against Houston having been every
whore raised. tho city and Its army OF
business men are once moro enabled to
pursue their various avocations without
danger from within. without opposition
from abroad, and with only friendship and
encouragement from all the State.
We have passed through trying ordeal.
we have suffered good deal of CONNER
clal loss, but the spirit OF Houston re-
mains buoyant and hopeful the whistles OF
her factories and locomotives sound cheer
full as ever and the business procession
moves vigorously on an 1t did before.
1t Is needless now to condemn or depre-
cate the causes which contributed to our
temporary embarrassment. 1t is enough for
Tho Post to know that the embargo has
been removed and that the normal enter
prise alnd activity for which our metropolis
is noted are manifest In oil directions. Cool
reason. affrighted for the moment, has re-
turned to take Its customary stand, and
trade and industrial confidence have be-
come re-enthroned on the citadel OF Hous-
toms progress and prosperity In truth, the
situation in this section--relieved OF the
pail which so lately Swallowed It's pros
pects--looks gratifyingly bright and prom
ising, and now that the wheels OF com
mcrce have been once more set in busy
motion. and the avenues OF trade are all
open to lis again. The Post looks for re-
doubled energy on the part of our live,
progressive men and an exceptionally sue
cessful fall for tho general interests o,
the community.
Let us take fresh heart. put on additions,
steam, make up for lost time, and forge To
the front as the leading city OF Texas.

Hntil the LIST of November and that all

Professor Balm, - not In itself the stand

Daniel Webster understood this. as his
careful language, above quoted. unmis-
takably indicates. His words are; Gold

standard OF value" 1t was to correct the
misoonoeptlon caused by, the use Of this
misnomer double standard" that Ger
