SHORT STOPS
Whot the People are Saying.

Whot the People are Saying.
After great injury has beer
done our city by the hasty, foolish
action of our city board OF health,
in declaring Suspicious case,'
the Board of Health attempts to
excuse themselves by claiming
that they did not want to hide
anything from the public.
What protection has our city
against the starting of another
panic, If this Board of Health re-
mains in authority?
If some half-fledged doctor
should get a patient afflicted with
"jim-jams" and report it as ssus.
picious" to the board of health,
they would forthwith herald the
news to the world, and then after
wards claim that they were so
honest that they did not want to
hide any thing from the public.
The whole shooting-match had
better resign. The people have
already passed a vote of want of
confidence in their judgment or
scientific ability.
Many people blame Mayor CAL
laghan for allowing himself to be
fooled by the doctors and for join
ing in the panic. His telegraph
ing for Swearengen was entirely
unnecessary.
Swearengen is an alarmist and
San Antonio is not loved. by its
commercial rivals. How easy to
rob us of our inheritance as a
health resort.
Our great morning daily has
contributed largely to the yellow
fever scare. 1t has devoted col
umns Ito yellow fever "news" a
repetition OF the same statements
day after day.
There are thousands of tender
foots here who are likely to stam-
pede at any moment. The press
and the medical fraternity should
combine to allay all fears and the
best way would be to remove all
quarantine restrictions.
Let it be said to the credit of Quar-
medical men, that a majority, es-
pecially the experienced men are
OF one opinion about San Antonio
having we'll earned reputa tion
as a health resort, and free from
yellow fever epidemic.

in Galveston at the time he was

THE REPUBLICAN SPLIT.

The split in the Republican
state committee whereby there is
created two state chairmen and
two state executive committees, is
nothing new. The organization has
been rent asunder for many
months and has only assumed au-
thoritive shape, by the election of
DR.. John Grant as state chairman,
leaving Mr.. Green to hold the
smallest bag. Now, who is going
to be boss? Alter the pie. is given
out it won't make much difference.
When the white Republican organ
ization was active the "black and
tans" kept together, hut the
moment the whites laid down
their arms the other side be-
came mutinous crowd, de-
manding the public booty. No
wonder President Mckinley hes
itates to recognize either side.
DIR. Grant has evidently the strong
est position as he has secured a
majority of the executive commit
tee, and as he can claim to be both
national committeeman and state
chairman ought to be able to un-
horse his antagonist. DR.. Grant
could have been elected chairman
at the convention that elected
Green, but he stepped aside for
harmony sake. The split Is a
good thing, it will be the means OF
reorganizing the party upon q
better footing than ever.

G DIN NG TO C U B A
VIM. ]. Calhoun Selected to Investigate the
Death Of Dr.. Ruiz.
He iS n Personal Friend Of the Presf-
dcnt--He Will Come Here to
Consult With Judge Day.

President Mckinley has selected William
| J. Calhoun of Danviile. ILL.,. as special COM
| missioner to go to Cuba and conduct the
investigation into the death of Ruiz This
selection is another evidence of the i'm
| portance which the President attaches to
| the case. Mr.. Calhoun has been his friend
since boyhood and enjoys his confidence in
the highest degree. He Is lawyer of high
standing at the Illinois bar
Mr.. Calhoun was in Washington last
week and was guest at the White House
when Judge William r. Day accepted the
appointment of assistant secretary of state
thereby making 1t necessary for a new man
| to go to Cuba. Mr.. Calhoun's fitness for the
position at once suggested itself to Maj.
Mckinley, and the matter was broached to
him.
The circumstances were explained and
he was given to understand the deep per-
sonal interest which the President felt In
securing thorough estigdtlon of
Ruiz's death,as well as report on the con-
dtions in Cuba. While Mr.. Calhoun was
not ready to give a definite acceptance of
the mission, he was tncired to oblige the
President. He left for Illinois with the
feeling that unless his private affairs pre-
, vented he would make the trip to Havana.
Word received from there indicates that
he expects to leave next Week, after spend
ing few days in WasniHez0n.
Mr.. Calhoun is fifty-rouF years Old. He and
Major Mckinley went to school together at
Poland, Ohio Mr.. Calhoun removed to
Illinois at the close OF the war and prac-
ticed his profession thereawith success. He
served In the legislature, but was never
ective In politics until asyear ago more.
Then he exerted himself and was in COM
mand of the Mckinley forces in Illinois
when the presidential l'nonination was con-
tested.
He took leading part in the campaign
after Maj. Mckinley's noxaination. When
the Illinois legislature was in deadlock
last January over the election of Senator
Palmer;s successor, he was looked upon as
a promising lcompronnise candidate. The
choice OF William E. Mason Eendefed the
compromise unnecessary. 1t has been
commonly understood ttat-at the first op-
portunity President McI1inaey intended to
elevate Mr.. Calhoun I'd the federal bench.
Before he goes totHaJana Mr. Calhoun
will consult with Judge Day. The latter
had given thorough study to the situation
there. and had fanhiliarized himself with
all the details of the Ruiz case. 1t is likely
that as assistant secretary of state Judge
Day will in a measure have the manage
ment cf Cuban matters and Mr.. Calhoun's
mission will receive his personal attention.
