ALGER HAS NOW QUIT TALKING
ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE
TRADE WITH HIM.
No interference in the Michigan
senatorial Race IL He Gives Out
No More Statements.
fsneclal TO The Post.)

Washington, July 27.--Indications point
decidedly to truce between the admins
tration and Secretary Of War Alger. When
Alger resigned he let 1t be known that he
had a statement in defense OF his ouiclai
conduct in course of preparation, whien
he would give to the public the day AFTER
he became a private citizen. Later ne
decided that he would make his defense
on the installment plan. and following out
this determination, he gave to the press
on Sunday last official correspondence 10
show that he originated the idea OF sehu-
ing the Spanish prisoners back TO opaln'
and that his ingenuity saved the county
half million dollars. This statement was
10 have been followed up with another
contribution from the official files to snow
that he mas all along approved the idea OF
sending more men to the Philippines. rms
statement, however, has not yet appeared,
and one of the secretary's friends Is au-
thority for the statement that 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful If he will make any pub
lie stat ement at the present time or in the
near future.
The intimation has been thrown out tnat
an agreement has been reached whereby
Alger is to avoid public utterances intend
ed to cast reflections upon the administra-
ton, and the administration will not take
sides with the Mcmillan faction in the
senatorial contest against Mr.. Alger. In
other words, it is limited that the president
will maintain neutral position, just as he
did in Ohio when the fight between Hanna
and Foraker was on. Just how much
foundation there is for the reported truce
the correspondent is unable to ascertain,
but it is a fact that only one installment
Of the seoretary's promised defense has
yet appeared and his friends say that the
material collected for the others will be
held in reserve indefinitely. He will not
be able to avoid making a few speeches
when he is welcomed back to Detroit, but
his friends here say that he will care
fully refrain from any criticism of the
president.

Frankfort KY, July 27.-The populist

was nominated for governor by acclama-
ton.
An effort was made to have the con-
vention nominate former Governor Brown,
who probably will run for governor on
an anti Goebel ticket, but the anti-fusion
sentiment was so strong this plan 1alled
to 20 through. though some OF the deie-

an attempt TO disfranchise the voters OF

HOUSTON, FRIDAY, JULY rs, 1890.
TEN PAGES TODAY.
A TRIUMPH OF SANITATION.

The American public--that part OF 1t
can never have too many practical OBJ
ject lessons of the value OF modern SAM
tation impressed unon them. The latest
and among the best statistics on this sub
iect are furnished In report recently is
sued by the Chicago department of health.
Some OF The Posts exchanges have al
ready been conveying the conclusions of
the report to their readers il Is pointed
out that the site Of the city was originally
a swamp and in the earlier years of the
city's existence, before drainage had pro-
crossed very far, the death rate reached
the astounding figure of 4O,6 per thousand!
This was greater than the Losses in bloody
battles. The death rate of 1898 was about
a third of that in the first years OF the
clty's life. Ordinarily the denser the
masses OF population the higher the death
rate. Chicago, however. with Il popula-
ton now Of nearly 100000. has death
rate only one-thlrd of that which she had
when her population did not number more
than $4,000! The old iegree of mortality
among a population such as she now has
would have been $1,000; last year it was
22,000a saying-think OF lt!-in one
year of 5000 lives!
To drainage. sewerage and letter water,
the chief objects of sanitary science to-
gether with enforced cleanliness of the
city, these results are directly attributed
and that In the face of constantly grow
Ing denser population.
IE noting some of the above facts ant
figures. one of our Southern exchanges
SO largely decreased but 1t is estimated
that the improved health conditions have
saved Chicago more in preventing Illness
than In decreasing the death rate. There
is supposed to be an average of ten cases
of sickness to every death and this being
true 1t may be calculated that 100000 doc
tors bills were saved to the people last
year through sanitation
This same exchange, the birmingham.
Ala, News. very properly concludes that
these figures demonstrate the truth that
the health of cities depend more on proper
sanitary measures than on climatic advan-
tages or conditions This wonderful show
ing, says our Birmingham contemporary
should carry lesson to every municipal
ity in the country which is without perfec,
sanitary arrangements The preservation
of life and health is the first the most inn
portant and the ever present duty of city
officials everywhere.

siip-shod department Of our State. coun-
ty and municipal government is generally
to be looked for in the assessment sys-
TENS.
The Post suggested at one time what
1t believed would be a means OF rectifying
many mistakes. preventing favorttism and
lessening injustice.
That suggestion was to by law, with
penalties attached. either to post or pub
lish In each district the full assess
ment for that district, SO that the
man on one lot or farm could see
how he was taxed In comparison with his
neighbor. II injustice had been done In
any case the victim could see 1t; II ia
voritism was patent 1t would show up,
and by going to an honestly constituted
board OF revlsers with the facts and the
proofs, the wrong might be righted and
greater uniformity reached. Again the
rich man with valuable property which
he had been heralding and holding at
high figure, would not feel so disposed
to have his Insignificant assessment
published to the world!
The best plan, in connection with the
above, would be to tax property at It's
market value and reduce taxation to
lower figure. This would give COM
munity prestige as being very wealthy
and with very low taxes.

COTTON SEED oRusHERs.
Many New Members Enrolled and
Arbitration Plnn AdOpted.

Many New Members Enrolled ana
Arbitration Plan Adopted.
Memphis, July 27.-The second annual
convention of the Interstate Cotton Seed
Crushers OF America finished its work at
late hour today and a large number of
the visitors left tonight for their respec-
tive homes, The convention will probably
prove most profitable. Thirty or forty
new members have been enrolled and now
that the arbitration plan has been adopted
il is thought the business will be brought
TO more profitable basis.
Memphis was named as the central point
of arbitration and it will be turned over
to the manufacturers merchants exchange.
In other words, the arbitrating committee
of the exchange will offciate for members
OF the association just as it does now for
members of the exchange. Members of the
association have thought for some time
that a change should be made in the rules
as to grading. In other words, the idea
that some specific definition as to grades
and types of seed and oil and seed products
in general should be uniformly observed in
the association is now very .trong and
when the committee to which revision
OF the rules has been Entrusted made its
report changes to meet such views We're
incorporated in the recommendations
Nothing radical was done and besides
what has already been mentioned in q
general way the only matter of Importance
accomplished during the session, so far
as legislation is concerned, was In the
appointment of committee TO get up a
cipher code. to be uniformly used by mem
bers of the association.
Officers were elected as follows: Presi-
dent, George b. Allen of Greenyile, Miss. !;
vice president, e. S. Ready of Helena,
ARK secretary and treasurer, Robert Glib
son, Dallas, Texas

FIRST VOTE FOR BAILEY.
1t Was Cast by II Member from Hop
1Sins County.


Dallas, Texas, July 7.-Congressman j.
w. Bailey delivered political speech at
Sulphur Springs, Texas, today at a big
democratic barbecue.
Mr.. Bailey made this the occasion to
vindicate an old friend and make rare
incident in politics. In 1898 John w. Nell
son OF Sulphur Springs represented Hop
kns county in the Texas legislature. When
the election of United States senator
took place Mr.. Nelson refused to vote for
Hon. Roger @. Mills, but cast his vote
for j. w. Bailey, then new member of
congress, but not a candidate for the SEN
ate. The Hopkins county democrats were
almost unit for Mr.. Mills, and Nelson's
failure to support him aroused such in
dignation that Nelson moved from the
county rather than live in community
that denounced his official political course.
Now Bailey is a candidate for United
States senator and Hopkins county is as
solid for him as it was in 1893 for Mills
and the majority of the democrats wish
they had John w Nalson back with them
Some mighty cheers We're given today for
Bailey and Nelson.
