1t would seem from this that Texas
is soon destined to become the most
sanitary city In the country Indeed,
1t Is believed and predicted that the
sanitary conditions of Texas are To be
revolutionized through the enforce.
ment of these rules and regulations.
Many of the writer's are asking for
more copies of the laws and others
want to know how to better enforce
rules. Special interest appears to be
manifested by county commissioners
who have to do with the sanitary con
dtions of county jails and prisons, As
Is well known. the sanitary condition
of the average Jail Is not the best in
the world where all grades and cOndi
tions of persons are confined and some
times huddled together some of them
already infected with disease. which Is
quickly impaired to other unfortunates
confined in prison DR. Brumby says
there is no place where persons are
more liable to become infected with
disease under unsanitary conditions
than in the average Jail. but under the
new rules and regulations. requiring
disinfectiOn In systematic manner,
this condition of affairs can he con
siderably minimized
Dr. Brumby declared that county and
city officials are taking a deep inter
est in the matter. and from reports he
is receiving the rules and regulations
are being obeyed and carried out to the
letter. He Is also receiving many in
quiries as to what kind of disinfectant
to get which will better carry out the
requirements of these rules and regula-
lions. The disinfeCtant recommended
by the state health officer is solu-
ton containing 2 per cent of absolute
formaldehyde, and 1t can be prepared
by mixing one ounce of u. 8. p solu-
ton of formaldehyde, which is 40 per
cent strength. with 10 ounces of pure
ctstern water OF distilled water.

HARpING ON MY DAUGHTER.

The Syndicate organ of this vicinity
continues to suggest policies which
would augment surplus in the State
treasury, or that which would amount
to the same thing SO far as evil effects
are concerned, would create a constant
~ growing sinking fund, in itself ordi-
narily most dangerous source of cor
ruption The principle has been, in
practice, most vicious, and few govern
ments now propose the mode as the one
proper to meet future obligations
Let US presume that in 1879 when the
volume and character of the present
State debt was confirmed it had been lie
termined there should have been a sink
ing fund plan set on foot, there would
have been now, not alone two and half
millions as bone for contention and as
a corrupting force in our politics, but
five or six more millions in addition!
just imagine what a scramble would
have resulted, and then measure condi
tons political that would now prevail
with what did prevail when lottery
money was the corrupting factor.
The contention of the contemporaries
for the Syndicate for the payment of the
States obligations is not bottomed upon

to augment the funds in the treasury,

This the fiscal board will control, and
its letting will be the contention.
1t is notorious fact, and one which
is becoming SO well authenticated that
none can dispute it, that syndicated
banks are behind Mr.. Sanders can
didacy. These institutions are striving
to control the surplus funds now in the
State treasury in their use, paying there
for as small return in interest as they
can or must.
Nothing has or will contribute so
much to Mr.. Sanders defeat as this
scheme. Just why his organs, and the
organs of the plan to control the sur
plus, should when public attention is
directed keenly to the matter, propose
the more indefensible surplus-policy, a
sinking fund, passes ordinary compre-
