GUILTY OR NOT GUILTY.

II this yellow fever nightmare that
has so disturbed the quiet of this city,
broken in on it's business, driven trade
away from it's doors and hundreds of
citizens, is the result of the hostility
of certain members of the board of
health TO the existing city administra-
ton, then it is in order for the board
of health to order an investigation and
purge their body of such members. 1t
is currently reported that a member
thereof has told, q month since, at the
government post in this city, that yell
low fever had been epidemic in San An
tonic, and was liable to be again.
Such statement is utterly untrue, as
the past history of this city shows.
No more reputable physician than DIR.
Herff is to be found here, and he has
had experience with every form of
fever that has visited this city for the
past half century, and he positively
asserts that yellow fever does not COM
municate itself in this city, that it is
not infectious. Whatever the cause
for this outrage on the people and
business of this city, or from what
ever reason this falsifying of the re-
cord as to former years in San An
tonic, there can be but one opinion as
to the malignity of the mind that
would so overstep the bounds of
to bring the city in which
he lives and practices his profession
into disrepute. If any political capt.
tai is thus sought to be made for its
author, or against the present city
government, it will fail of its object.
San Antonio is as jealous of her repu-
tation as the health resort of Texas as
she is of her business opportunities
and she is not willing that either
should suffer unnecessarily. Much
less then is she willing to sit tamely
down and see both these, her health
fulness and her business brought into
disrepute, not only for no good reason
under the sun, but falsely and with
great inconsiderateness. The city
council and the mayor Of the city, who
have stood in the breach for the de-
fence of the city, will be gratefully
and their belief that it
would be wise to throw the gates of
the corporation wide to all who might
desire to find a refuge here, where no
yellow fever can be transmitted by
cOntagiOn is warmly seconded by
many of our oldest and most con-
people. In like man
ner, those members of the
board of health who for days with
stood the opportunities of a few to
charge the city with harboring yellow
fever, are appreciatively spoken of
and their good services will be remem-
bered. There is an awful responsible
ity resting on the shoulders of very
few physicians in this city and time,
which brings around it's own revenges,
will sooner or later put the saddle on
the right ones.

Texas have made bigger fools of them
selves than the Light was willing to
believe possible. It is not the fault

had greater confidence in the horse

outcome justifies.

board and a union Of their forces eff

THERE is a growing feeling that
the elements of patriotism and of
willingness to give the party in power
an opportunity to test its proposed
principles which caused the passage
of the tariff bill may result in drawing
together a sufficient number of votes
in the Senate to pass a bill based
upon the propositions of President
McKinley's message, in which he
recommends a system by which it
will be impossible to embarrass the
government by continuance of the
use of the greenbacks to draw gold
out of the treasury.

THE calm, clear and forceful express

have impressed the country very
greatly in his favor, and have devel-
oped a general willingness to leave
this important and delicate question
in the hands of the administration
instead of attempting to force action
and embarrass the government by
such Congressional action as was
demanded by so many people few
months ago.

A NEW kinll in the law relating to
the estimates of expenditures which
government officials are required to
turn in every year is responsible for
the enormous figures covering the
estimates for the expenditures for the
fiscal year 1899, and for the nominal
estimates of deficiency in that year.
Secretary Cages estimate, sent to
Congress on the second day of its
session, indicates a prospective deficit
of sci, 900, 900 in the fiscal year which
begins next July and ends June 30,
1899. The fact is that neither the
Secretary nor any of his assistants
expect that there will be any deficit
in that year, but, on the contrary, a
handsome surplus; but a law recently
enacted compels the War Department
officials to include in their sO-called
Estimates of expenditures the esti-
mates made by their Subordinatcs
scattered over the country. ii relation
to river and harbOr appropriations,
and this resulted in an estimate from
the War Department for over 500
100000 for river and harbor work,
while it is well known that no more
than onefourth of that sum is likely
to be appropriated. This accounts
for the estimate of an apparent def
cit in 1899, about which Democratic
editors have given themselves so much
