THE SENATORIAL SITUATION.
Platt the Only Republican Can
didate in the Field.

Albany, n. Y, January 1S-The
election of United States senator
to succeed Thomas Collier Platt
will be the most important legisla-
tive event in the coming week. Thus
far there is but one republican con-
didate in the field and he is Senator
Platt. Both Senator Platt and Gov
ernor Odell have expressed the
belief that he will be reelected. On
Monday night caucuses of both
republicans and democrats will be
held.It is believed Senators Brack-
EFT, f Brown, who
refused toattend the first republican
caucus, at which Il president pro
TEN of the senate was nominated,
will also refuse to attend the Mon
day night caucus. The democratic
legislators will, name John B.

didate for United States senator.

The best way to combat con-
tagious diseases is to prevent them,
and cleanliness is the best preven-
live. Municipal sanitation is re-
eognized in all enlightened COM
Dunities as their only salvation
from death dealing epidemics. With
such a foul and deadly disease as
aubonic plague having foothold
N San Francisco and also in Ma
Eatlan, it is absolutely imperative
that all cities of both this country
and Mexico should take active
measures to prevent its importation,
and to discourage itby using proper
sanitary methods. Clean up! This
should be the slogan of all Texas
aowns today. Cleanliness is neces-
sary, not only to combat the plague,
but also to prevent smallpox and
typhoid, both deadly and conta-
siobs.
