MIR. FOSTERS APPOINTMENT.

Generally speaking, the election of Hon.
l.. l.. Foster TO the presidency of the
agricultural and Mechanical college is
satisfactory to those most interested In
the welfare OF that institution.
OF, course. there are those who EXPIRE
doubt as to the ACCESSIBILITY of his sclec-
ton because OF his supposed lack Of
training and experience as an educator of
tho order to which the head OF one OF the
state's highest educational Institutions
should belong, but II Is noticeable that
the doubttrs are mostly professional, tsacn.
crs who Will, In all likelihood, as soon as
the disappointment incidental to the lurn-
ing down of one of their number in th,.
case wears Off. be the first to recognize
the wisdom of thu boards action e. az
those who have pushed Mr.. Foster 70 tho
front in this thing firmly and with good
reason believe that It will, his admlnistta.
ton proves successful.
So far as the needs Of the college arc
concerned Mr.. Foster certainly know,

years as member OF It's board O. dites.

DIFFERENCES IN TIME.
A STEP IN TIME.

The Post is not taking on any undue
alarm over the probability of an epidemic
during the approaching hot months. but
Il wishes to call the attention OF the people
OF Houston to the necessity OF general
cleaning UP of the city as u precautionary
measure.
II is true that the chances for an inva.
sion OF some such pestilence as the yellow
fever are somewhat increased ON account
Of the war, and this emphasizes the cx-
pediency of a thorough sanitation of the
city. which should be done any way. re-
gardless of outside considerations.
The premises OF every householder should
be thoroughly cleaned. and especially the
rear part Of the premises. which is gem
orally shut out from the sunlight. and par
ticulariy liable to propagate disease germs.
It should be seen that every alley and by
way is put into proper condition at once
that the sewer connections are In good
order and especially that water Ia not per-
mitted to collect itself In stagnant pools.
All debris and wastage in general should
be promptly removed and the usual dsIn-
fectants OF closets and sinks should be lib.
orally used
The Post urges tho necessity OF a gen.
erai renovation of the city merely as
precautionary measure. There Is no reasor
to be unduy apprehenslvc OF any epidemi,
outbreak this year more than any other

THE FAILURE or RECIPROCITY

If We expect hereafter TO increase our
with those to the south of us, we viii have
to do 1t through some other scheme than
that OF reciprocity. There Ia little dispo-
siton noted In any OF the South american
countries to return to the reciprocity plan.
Brazil has fatty refused 10 entertain
propositions looking to tho renewal of the
mutual trade agreement we had with that
country few years ago, and preliminary
negotiations for reciprocal concessions have
had no better luck, 30 far In other direc-
lions. Brazil Is very friendly toward us,
possibly more so than any of the nations on
Portuguese rather than Spanish extraction
and we have done her favors on one or two
memorable occasions that she can not we'll
forget But her president explains that a
reciprocity treaty would cause the loss OF
revenue that she can not do without, and
that her declinatlon TO again enter into re-
ciprocity agreements is purely n business
consideration based on governmental ne
| cessities.
| This objection would be sufficient to pre-
vent any OF Brazil's ncghbors from agree
ing to the reductions of tariffs required
under reciprocity treaties. Their revenues
are small at best. the development of their
resources limited aud their burdens mans

full aristocracy OF money in the history Of
the world.
Protectionism has built up the most stu
rendous trusts and afforded opportunities
for the accumulation OF money In such i'm
mense quantities that the power Of the cor
rora,ions Is equal. II not superior, to That
OF the government Itself. Such Is the irflu-
ence Of aggregated wealth that congress
has not only repeatedly failed to Impose
upon 1t it's Just share Of taxation, but lesH-
iation has been controlled TO . still further
extension Of special privilege. In the ef-
forts OF the government to meet the cx-
penscs OF the present war against Spain the
same influences are at work. and IN the
positive refusal OF such enormous monopo-
lies as the Standard Oil trust 10 pay tax
OF one-quarter Of per cent OF It's fabulous
profits the American people are tcn'rohtcd
with n problem which concerns the per-
petulty of democratic Institutions IN a most
vital manner.
II the trusts and corporations NAV cscare
the burden OF taxation at will. then their
power IL superior to that OF the general
government since the first OF all govern
mental powers is the power OF taxing the
citizen for Its own preservation. II the oil
and sugar trusts can successfully evade n
Just and necessary contribution on their
part to the maintenance Of the government
OF the United States, by which they have
been benefited to the greatest degree, then
tt,o O..
really living undm moneyed arigtocracy
instead OF a representative democracy. And
the statement OF the general solicitor OF
the STANDARD oil company that that corpo-
ration would not submit to the proposed
tax Is dang, roiisly in evidence of the truth
of the repeated assertion that we are doml-
mated by corporate wealth.
Such are the fruits OF protec,lonism and
the system OF legislative fayoritisin that
the republican party has constantly pro-
NOTED, and If there were no other evidence
of It's utter disregard. not to say criminal
neglect Of the public welfare. the danger
Gus escendancy Of aggra gated wealth alone
over every other interest OF the country is
enough to condemn Il rs UNI American and
monarchical in It's tendencies. and to arouse
the people to the necessity Of breaking It's
power completely and fer all time to come
