The social wheel continues to turn
merrily, in spite of the sackcloth- wound
spokes and the ashes that are sup
posed to impede its progress. The func-
tions are, for the most part, however,
'small and earlies." and only one or two
receptions and card parties of any size
have been given this past week. Quite
the largest and most important affair
was the charity ball, given by the officers
of the German Ladies' Benevolent asso-
citation, in Turnvereln hall. Receptions
were given by Mines. VIII Knippenberg
of Estrela avenue, Ballard of Boyle
Heights, Sterry of st. James park. and
J.. Jacoby of South Hope street. There
have been a number of dinners and lunch
cons, the hosts and hostesses being Mr..
and Mrs. Cromwell Galpin, Mr.. and Mrs.
A. H. Busch. Mr.. and Mrs. H j. Woolla-
colt, Mr.. and Mrs. ]. A. Osgood Mr.. and
Mrs. A. III. Naftzger, Mines. J. H. Norton,
W. S. NewhalL Lacy and w. S. Porter.
Those who have entertained with cards
are Mr. and Mrs c. N Flint. Mr.. and
Mrs. r. w. Chase, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Montgomery, Mr.. and Mrs. J. L. Platter
and Mrs. Catherine Johnson. A half-dozen
theater parties, a couple or so of musi-
Gales and a small number of weddings
complete the list of merry-makings.

MONDAY, OCTOBER IS, 1897.
THE WHOLE OR A PART.

This week will see matters material
ly improved in Texas. The lessons of
ahe unnatural and unnecessary scare
of last week will have had time to OPP
people will induce them to open the
gates of trade. In the mean time the
lesson, costly as it is, will not be lost,
if it shall lead to such action on the
part of the state authorities as will
prevent for all time the people of a
county stopping the passage of through
railway trains by a local shot gun
quarantine. The senseless few should
not be permitted to sacrifice the inter-
ests of the many who are more sensi-
BILE, and ruin the trade of the state.
The millions that have been lost to
Texas this month and last would have
come in mighty handy. The death
rate in New Orleans and Biloxi and
Mobile is not such as to justify a quar-
antine of the whole country against
them, much less does it Justify cutting
of all trade communication with them
and shutting up thousands of carloads
of freight to the destruction of all of
it that is perishable, and to the ruin
of the carrying trade and the thou
sands of railroad men who are engag
ed in it. Self preservation is the first
law of communities, that is true, but
there must be some competent authori-
ty to decide when the necessity of self
preservation arises, and the history Of
this present scare demonstrates that
localities that are so easily stampeded
by a senseless fear are not to be trust
ed with the power to shut the gates
of commerce and industry at will
There should be some power above that
of a county court to which the great
railroad interests of this state could APP
peal for protection and the privileges
of their business in a panic like this
Large interests demand a large COnsid-
Grafton, and this can only be given by
those who are accustomed to look at
things from a general and not a local
standpoint State and not county au-
thorites should deal with all matters
that concern the general business and
welfare of the state. There is no dan
ger that any of the interests OF the
counties will be lost site of in this pro-
Viding for the whole.

John Bull is mighty sly. 1t will do
him no good. His strtegy is under
stood. He would not become a party
of any conference on the question in
which Japan and Russia are admitted
as members but he would be one to
conference in which his Oldest kid,
Canada Jack is a party, thus making
the United States a minority in that
conference. Great Britain and Cana
da are one in this matter. If Japan
and Russia agree with the United
States upon a sealing policy for the
whole northern sea it may be that
Great Britain will not go hell bent to
back Canada in destroying the sealing
herds.

There Is one thing that is worthy of
note in this Greater New York election.
This is the fact of the ring politicians
in both parties being at a discount
Tammany generally sees the day that
her majority in the region now includ-
ed in Greater New York is round
hundred thousand. Today she is faced
out by Henry George, who is polling as
large vote as the Tammany candi-
date. On the other hand, Boss Platt.
with all the power of the city and state
Republican machinery behind him is
bringing up the rear Of the procession
with his candidate, the independent
wing of the Republican party behind
Seth Low, outranking him at every
turn of the game. This is truly indi-
cative of reform.

DIVIDE THE BURDEN.

This present suspension of trade and
business comes very hard upon the
| south, particularly upon this south
west. The return of good prices for
wool, cattle and hides, together with
the signs of approaching prosperity on
all sides, had led our people in all de-
tightening of the burdens that the past
four years had imposed upon them.
To be met on the Threshold of this
expected BITTERNESS with a perfect
paralysis of our interior trade,
on account of yellow fever APP
pearing in the neighboring states,
while owing to causes not necessary
to recount our own state trade has
been literally blockaded, throttled and
done to death, is a something that re-
quires rare fortitude and business
courage to meet. While facing the
condition it would be we'll to wisely
consider where it's burdens fall, and
so as to have them weigh as lightly as
possible. There has been a large re-
duction in the working forces of the
carrying companies, express and 9TH
er lines, and here and elsewhere many
artisans, clerks and employees of every
kind have been dismissed as supernu-
merary. The Light suggests that
where there is such reduction needed,
and until the improved trade so GER
tain to come a little later is realized.
that there be no positive dismissal of
employees, but an arrangement to en-
ploy a certain number at a time, each
