nuts the cleft can be drawn together so
closely that the wood will eventually
grow together again-that is, the new
growth will cover the cleft, for old
wood is dead wood, and that cannot
unite.
Bands connected by chains have been
sometimes used to prevent further sepd-
ration of cleft, but these prevent the
growth and act like girdling, the final
result being the death of the portion
above the band.

TRUTH EMBRACED.

Every dollar sent away from home
is drain and loss to the community
when the same need can be supplied
without sending abroad. 1t is a di-
rect blow at home enterprise and
build up the same occupation or pur-
suit at a distance that should be local
ly nutured and encouraged. The thou
sands of dollars yearly sent abroad
would afford increased facilities to
secure and retain material forces and
resources that would add to progress
and the general prosperity. 1t is not
economy; it is not wisdom. 1t is a
mistaken personal pride that in the
end affords no satisfaction or gratifi-
cation. Spend the dollars at home
where practicable, and help each 9TH
er. This is sound sense. Navasota

CITY TOPICS.
Mayor Callaghan's Quarantine.

Mayor Callaghan's Quarantine.
Mayor Callaghan's energetic action
in placing the ''On the Bowery" thea
trical company in quarantine, has
been the topic of general converse
ton. These people came through
from an infected region and although
they had clean bill of health from
New Orleans certainly became liable
to any sanitary regulation adopted
by our city. The mayor has made
their surveillance. as pleasant as posi-
BILE, and by taking this precaution has
gratified the sentiments of the COM
munity. 1t would be criminal on the
part of the city officials to be care
less over the possibility of yellow
fever invasion. Notwithstanding the
fact that the epidemic is late yet there
is plenty of time for the spread of the
disease before frost. San Antonio has
been proven safe against the spread
of this disease. AS early as 1S4S sew
eral persons who had travelled from
New Orleans were taken with the
fever after arriving here. A Mr.. Col
by died but no cases originated in
this city. In 1867, one of the worst of
the yellow fever years, the epidemic
spread to the interior Of the state;
cases originated in La Grange, Bren-
ham, and on the main travelled road
from San Antonio to Indianola. Sew
eral cases Of persons coming from
Indianola occurred here, and some
deaths, but no case originated in this
city. In 1867 San Antonio drew all
its supplies from Indianola, hundreds
of men, with teams were engaged In
the freighting business. All attempts
at quarantine were futile because the
country was unfenced and people
could. get into the city from all points
of the compass. While past expert
ence justifies the opinion that our
city is yellow fever proof, yet the
prompt action of Mayor Callaghan
will meet the approval of the public
as an ounce Of preventative is worth
pound of cure. The "Bowery Co.
will go hence with a genuine bin OF
health, and the theatre going public
can give them a benefit.

served for many years as judge of a
district court on the gulf coast and
from his observation concluded that
the fever is not bred in the gulf states
but is imported and his first message
TO the Twelfth Legislature contained
the most serious .admonition, to pass
quarantine law;
The commercial cities of Galveston,
Houston and Indianola roared and
kicked against this despotic enactment
as they termed it, for the reason that
their trade from abroad would for
time be paralyzed. But Governor Da-
Wis was memorable and insisted upon
the passage of the law. For this ne
merits undying fame. Texas was the
first state that adopted a quarantine
law in 1871 and demonstrated to the
world, that yellow jack could no
longer get a foothold upon our soil.
The law at that time applied to the
coasts only and was not made gener-
al until later on. Thus it happened
that in 1873 the fever was imported
into our state overland from Memphis
by way of Shreveport.
The fact was then recognized that
quarantine was the only safeguard
against the dreaded pest and the law
was extended to the whole Texas
border. Since then not case Of vel
low fever has occurred in Texas. The
other southern states emulated Tex
as example and one after the other
adopted quarantine laws.
The fact, however, remains indis-
putable that the. Republican governor
L. j. Davis, is the father of the statute
and though he may have had his mis-
givings, as all other men have, the
whole south should, for the reason
given, preserve for him sacred re-
membrance. s-

YELLOW JACK"

And Governor Z. ]. Davis.
Translated from the Texas Vor-
waerts.
That dreaded disease yellow fever
has made its appearance ON the gulf
coast of Mississippi and has spread
the greatest anxiety over all the gulf
states. A few deaths are also report
ed from New Orleans.
That the epidemic has been import
ed from Cuba cannot well be doubted,
since no quarantine proclamation has
been issued.
The rule is, as il ever prevailed in
former years, when the yellow pest APP
pears upon our borders, the fact is
concealed for many weeks and until
no longer practicable, for the reason
that the business of the commercial
world suffers in consequence of the
shut-out.
Thus it was formerly at New Or
leans. Galveston and Houston, until
the disease was carried to the inter-
Tor and thousands succumbed from
such places TO il.
III is now, we are informed, that
over 100 cases of yellow fever have
occurred at Ocean Springs, before the
report reached the outside world.
What suffering from yellow fever
has not Texas experienced anterior TO
the year 1871, especially during 1867
when whole townships were. depopu-
lated.
Why is it that yellow fever has not
prevailed in Texas, since the begin
ming of the seventies? Governor Z. j.
Davis, so much and so unjustly SIAN
dered, has saved the lives of thOus-
ands upon thousands by his quaran-
tine act.
He is the author and originator OF
this blissful enactment. Before he

KAIPUR, India, Feb. 4.-The special

who is inquiring into the famine raw
ages in this, the largest district of the
central province, having population
Of 100000, finds the situation very
grave. This is the center of the rice
growing industry, which is the only
crop grown, and. as it has failed, there
is a total lack of food stuff in this local
ity and real famine exists. About l 300
villages are affected. The relief works
have given employment and the means
Of subsistence to $4,000 persons.
The worst part of the district is
D'Harapara, 30>miles from here, where
lamentable conditions prevail. Many
people have already died of hunger and
many others are dying. The staff en-
ployed in the work of relieving the
sufferers is inadequate to cope with the
enormous area. If the work of relief
had been properly arranged earlier the
mortality would have been less, as
rains are increasing the spread of dis
ease. 1t will take three good years to
recoup the district.

A BETTER OFFER
Congressman Hubbard Says 9th
ers Stand Ready to Bid on
Union Pacific,
And That at Least Ten Millions
Above the New York
Offer. -
Can Be Obtained Attorney Gen.
eral Harmon Before the
Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The house
committee ON Pacific railroads had q
conference with Attorney General
Harmon ON the Harrison bill for q
commission to settle the Pacific railroad
difficulty. The attorney general urged
that broader authority should be given
his department to deal with the mat
ter. The committee adjourned until
Monday, ON the representation Of Rep
resentative Hubbard of missouri, that
parties stood ready to make the govern
ment a better offer for the Union Pa
cifc than the one made by the New
York syndicate.
Mr. Hubbard declined to say who
these parties were, more than that they
represented railroads with terminals at
St. Louis and other central points, who
desired to establish through system.
They would offer, he said. $50, 900, 600
In cash ($lO, 900. 900 more than the offer
Of the New York syndicate) to clear off
the first mortgage and pay part Of the
government debt, and would refund
the remainder at 3 per cent.
The most important statement made
by the attorney general was that the
pending settlement with the Union Pa
cific would probably be effected before
the adjournment of the summer term
of the United States courts. He sug.
gested certain changes in the Harrison
bill, one of them that the commission
be authorized to accept any offer to sell
the governments interest and title to
the Pacific roads. Mr.. Harrison has
prepared all amendment to cover this
point.
Mr.. Harmon said that no commits
sion should be restricted by the estab.
lishment of minimum prices for set
Elements. The authority of the exccu.
tive branch to make settlement, under
existing law, which is limited to fore.
closure, the proceedings, he said, was
inadequate, and for this reason the
establishment of commission which
would include the attorney general,
was desirable.
