GOOD NEWS.


Captain Richie, in charge Of the enp,n,,r
ing work OF this district, in which is i,
ciuded the Buffalo bayou as Well a. ~
weston bay. suggested recently nlsn 81
the war department for inaugurating ~.
contemplated deep water improvement q,
inc bayou, which the dispatches fror,
Washington Indicate has been approved ~,
re secretary OF war.
'ptain Richie, who understands thor
ogshly the scheme for giving Houston :
deep water connection, proceeded in HE
recommendations TO the department m tho
theory thai 25-foot channel was the ul,i.
mate object aud that the congressional an.
preparation of 100000 In the last rivers
and harbors bill was intended as the al
vance allowance for the beginning of this
great work. The captains idea was N
employ a powerful dredge and commence
the Improvement from Morgans Point this
way There was another theory to tho
tnect that ony l2-foot channel was
Intended to be provided and that the 5000
goo given by the last congress was to BE-
used IN securing tbs uniform depth
throughout the whole OF the bayou.
AGAINST this latter contention Congress

man Ball recently entered vigorous pro-
test at Washington and insisted that Cap
tain Riches views and plans should be in
dorsed by the department--that the money
about which there was no dispute should
be used in the purchase OF the required
dredge and only such work begun as looked
to the ultimate provision of 25-foot chan
mel, with the confident assurance that con
gress would authorize in unmistakable
terms continuing contract for the crea-
tion of frst-clsss port at Houston. The
dispatch in yesterdays Post from the scat
OF government was meager but its terms
seem to justify the conclusion that Captain
Riches plan has been approved The dis
patch read that the captain was instructed
to construct the dredging machinery and
to proceed with the necessary surveys"
This is extremely encouraging news t,
us. 1t means that work will at once be.
gin on an improvement chat is calculated
TO add another deep water port to the COM
mercial facilities OF Texas and make Hous-
ton one of the most important shipping
points in the South IL promisessthe early
realization OF our brightest dreams-the
contamination at no distant day OF a
scheme that is destined to make OF this
city one of the greatest in the South OF
West.
The work once begun in a systematic
manner 1t will continue of course until an
adequate ship channel is brought to our
very doors. But Houston has yet much
to do In furtherlng or supplementing tho
work of the department Ample provision
must be made for keeping the scheme be-
fore congress-there must be no ass,imp-
ton thao we are safe until we have abso-
lutely secured what we want. a few citi-
zens can not be expected to bear this whole
burden. Success is assured but only on
one condltion-that the people of this To-
cality practically recognize their duty to
their own highest interests

THE QUARANTINE RAISED.

II will be gratifying intelligence to the
State of Texas as well as to New Orleans
that the Texas health officer. DR.. Blunt.
las decided to raise the quarantine I'M
posed by this State against New Orleans
The idea advanced in the State Of Louis
ifna that we had Commercial" reason
for enforcing such a quarantine was SUI
premely absurd.
Such restrictions upon trade and travel
hurt ali sections They are but little less
disastrous and ineonygnient to us than to
the people Of the Crescent City. in fact,
not a few good citizens of Texas have been
protesting vigorously against this quaran-
tine from the day it was established and
saying almost as unkind tainss about pr.
Blunt as have been said in New Orleans.
Our State health officer acted wisely al
1Isi in visiting New Orleans and seeing
for himself the conditions existing there.
His visit has not only enabled him to
properly estimate the danger at present.
but to obtain. possibly, more practical
knowledge for the future. Contact with
the New orleans physicians VIII lead to
a better understanding of any conditions or
rumors in the future and at the same time
enable the profession aud tho public over
there the better to appreciate Or, Blunt
and judge OF the correctness of his mo-
tives il an emergency should again arise
whore Texas felt called upon to resort to
quarantine measures.
1t is as true as it is an old saying that
"al's well that ends we'll" The quar-
antine has been imposed and 1t has been
raised. No special harm has been done,
even II no real danger has been averted.
The error II error it was. was on the side
of safety. as The Post contended from the
first We have no patience with those
people who would risk human life for the
sake of few paltry dollars, man like
Dr. Blunt who does his duty as he sees
it, and regardless OF the criticisms OF
others, is the right man in the right
place as health officer of Texas.
We all trust that no more during the
summer will any occasion arise for resort
ing to the quarantine. but we all feel
easier and safer in knowing that II any
danger threatens we have at the head Of
our health department in Texas man
who will prove equal to the emergency aud
will allow neither commercial political.
nor that proverhlal hairs splitting argu-
ment Of his own profession to swerve him
from the strict line OF his duty to the
people
