SENATOR MoRGAN,s INTERVIEW.

The republican and goldbug newspapers
terview with Senator John 7. Morgan. in
which the venerable Albanian is under
stood to have advised the subordnation OF
the silver question In the coming cam
paign and the dropping OF Mr.. Bryan as
presidential candidate. That part of the
interview which is SO pleasing to our
friends, the enemy, Is as follows:
.My personal views may be OF little i'm.
purtance. but have an idea which. II worked
out, would, believe, bring the democratic
party together and get out every vote In the

We should nominate man who would be
willing to say to his party something like

MAKE HOUSTON CLEAN.

The editorial in yesterdays Post calling
organization in Houston has met with
general approval, and there Is no doubt
that the people Will take immediate steps
to inaugurate such a movement.
1t Is realized that no especial criticism
OF health officials is meant by calling upon
the people to act in this matter. The in
tention is not to antagonize but to work
with the health department In securing
an improvement In Houston's sanitary
condition. While 1t is quite true that
officials employed to look after the clty's
interests can do moro than has been done
In the past, they can accomplish very little
unless they have the assistance of the peo-
pie. Every citizen must be made to realize
that part OF the responsibility rests upon
his own shoulders.
The health department is the instrument
to lead in the enforcement of sanitary reg
ulations, but the people must be educated
to keep their premises clean and to COM
ply with the sanitary ordinances. They
should be made to realize the danger
that is now confronting this city, and to
understand the incalculable injury that
may result from continuance OF our
present indifference and carelessness.
A mass meeting should be held in order
to give vent to the sentiment of tho COM
munity
Physicians and others who know what
results may be visited upon this city II
It remains unclean should call attention
to the necessity OF prompt action.
There should be no hesitation. no mine
ing Of matters.
Tho facts In regard to Houstons unsan-
itary conditions can not be concealed. and
should not be concealed.
| In such time as this 1t Is better that
tho truth be known. Let the evils that
exist here be laid before the public and
let the people organize to correct and rom
edy them.
BY prompt Systematic and universal ef-
fort Houston can be made the cleanest city
In Texas. Inaction and Indifference on the
part of the people will mean a continuance
OF unsanitary conditions and the endanger-
ing OF the health of this whole community.

President Mckinley recently appointed post
master In an Alabama town was so fond OF
life that he declined to accept the office. VIII
the World please tell the public why II ID
that MIR. Mckinley insists on appointing ne
Eroes to such places in the South when he
knows such appointments are distasteful to
nearly the entire population. and that such
action is suro to bring about trouble. Is It the
part of patriotism to do sol Did he ever
appoint negro postmaster in Ohio. or any

many colored people in the presidents own

ambition. In the face OF all the facts It looks
as II tho president was actuated by the sole

LONDON, July l2.-The salvagers have
moved the American liner Paris nstern
$50 yards and have shifted the vessels
position slightly to the eastward They
hope to be able to get the after stoke
hold fires alight. The Paris is now clear
of the rocks The sea is smooth, but a
heavy fog prevails. Three salvage boats
alone practically removed her from u
critical position unaided. She still has
a distinct list to the starboard, and can
not be assumed out of danger.
The German salvagers are elated at
their unexpected success in floating the
Paris. She has been weighted with
nearly 1000 tons Of granite at her stern,
with view of hoisting her bow from
the rocks. Divers had difficulty in get
ting at the rock, and this was the reason
for the attempt to move her. Unless
something unforeseen occurs the. Paris
will be towed to Falmouth today, and if
on inspection her condition warrants
she will be taken to Southampton or
other dock for repairs.

Jetfords arrived here yesterday to sign

however, would indicate that Jeffries is
