CITY SANITATION.
Some Suggestions on the Subject From
Mr. Wm. Lomas.
While many things, in the plan and
survey of this city, have been provided
for, there is one thing, and that of a
vital nature, that at least as regards
present application, has not been pro-
vided for; and that is effective sanita-
tion. This is, even in older cities, lit-
tle understood and too frequently less
thought about, till Nature’s broken
laws recoil in fearful and fatal retri-
bution ; then men awake and begin to
think. AVould it not be better to think,
and act, beforehand ?
With your permission, I will offer a
few suggestions anent this question.
The soil of this coast, except the
black-waxy belt west of this, is very
absorbent and will retain the solids,
and liquids, and gases of excrementa-
tious matter, up to the point of satu-
ration; and when, as such, it is brought
into contact with living vegetation,
decomposition and reorganization fol-
lows, and no harm is done, but it is
beneficial. But let living vegetation
be absent, and the poisonous gases es-
cape into the air, and the liquids and
solids, largely unchanged, especially
during rains, leach down into and
poison the water strata.
And that water! I had heard that
the water at a certain depth was good
along this part of the coast, but was
not prepared to find it so pure, and so
'SW-et, and so plentiful, and to be ob-
tained so easily. Will you permit
that bed of clay, that at present effect-
ually protects that pure underlying
water, to be invaded by pernicious
surface drainage, and so poison the
very springs of life?
You have a pure, clean little city.
Will you keep it so? You can if you
will. How ? Not by an elaborate sys-
tem of sewerage, to be flushed with
water; you have not this, or the water,
and what would you do with this
water, as a filth carrier, if you had it?
Put it into the bay? No! Would
any system commend itself to you
that only carried this filth from one
place and distributed it at another;
that fouW a river from one end to the
other, or only diluted this filth by
spreading it over the waters of the
bay? Burn it? No doubt effective,
but in such case there are several dif-
ficulties in the way.
The method that is best for this city
at present, and for a long while in the
future, is at once simple, easy, cheap,
and most effective. This is known as
the dry-earth system. And that your
citizens may adopt it at once, as they
ought to do, I will describe it in its
simplest form:
First—See that all present pits or
excavations used for water-closet pur-
poses are cleaned out, and deodorized,
and then filled up with clean earth.
Second—Put a box, or drawer, mads
water-tight and with iron handles,
under the seat of closet. If two places,
then use two boxes, as being better to
^handle; and let them fit well.
\ird—Have a box or barrel stand-
• ^hiigthe closet, where it will be
mg lnsia^^fc^^pjg pox with dry earth,
kept dry; closet is u ’
or soil, and when
throw in enough of iAA ary soil to
cover the deposit or absorb any liquid.
A stove shovel is the best to use, as
hold enough for all practical
rhen necessary the boxes
xdrawn, emptied into a
replaced ; and if these

ton 2240 pounds, while in the South
the average cost of the run of a furnace
of pig iron is $10.75. This difference
is in favor of the Southern product.
Tennessee produced 47,873 tons of pig
iron for the year ending May 31, 1880,
while for the year ending June, 1890,
she produced 290,747 tons. Her per-
centage of the total production in the
United States in 1880 was 1.27, while
in 1890 the per centage had been in-
creased to 3.04.
The largest cotton crop in the South-
ern States prior to the war was in 1860,
when 4,669,770 bales were produced.
In 1871 it was 4,352,317; in 1891 the pro-
duction reached 8,652,597 and 604,661 of
the product was consumed by South-
ern mills against less than half that
quantity ten years before.
In 1890 cotton seed oil mills crushed
1,050,200 tons, the product being worth
$27,310,836, an increase in round num-
bers in ten years of $24,000,000.
The number of cotton mills increased
from 161 in 1880 to 336 in 1890; the num-
ber of spindles from 500,000 to nearly
2.000. 000,and the product from $16,356,-
182 to $54,199,379.
In 1880 there were 567 establishments
for the manufacture of wool in the
Southern States, while in 1890 there
were but 334, but the decrease in num-
ber in no way indicates a decrease in
other features, for the capital invested
in woolen manufactures in the South-
ern States was $4,104,077 in 1880 and
$10,283,005 in 1890.
In 1880 the production of distilled
spirits amounted to 21,413,237 gallons,
and in 1890 to 41,276,093 gallons, while
of fermented liquors the Southern
States produced in 1880 1,340,037 bar-
rels and in 1890 the production was 3,-
482,869 barrels.
Between 1880 and 1890 the mileage of
Southern railroads with the exception
of Arkansas, Louisiana, Maryland,
Missouri and Texas increased from 13,-
238 miles to 24,956 miles and the num-
ber of passengers carried from 6,295,-
000 to 30,061,000. _ The number of pas-
sengers carried increased nearly five
fold and the amount of freight moved
grew from 17,759,441 tons to 61,971,929
tons. The total earnings and income
of Southern railroads increased from
nearly $47,000,000 in 1880 to more than
$103,000,000 in 1890.
The capital invested in the great in-
dustries of the South represented by a
banking capital, which in 1880 was
$92,000,000, was in 1890 more than $171,-
500.000, an increase of over 86 per cent.
The capital invested in manufactur-
ing establishments of all kinds ad-
vancedfrom $179,250,000 in 1880 to $551,-
500.000, in 1890 while the total number
of hands employed more than doubled,
being 153 per cent greater in 1890 than
in 1880.
The total indebtedness of theSouth-
ern States, including county debts and
less sinking fund, that is practically
the net total debt was in 1880 $215,-
712,241, while in 1890 this indebted-
ness had been reduced to $178,162,755.
The reduction is best expressed by the
figures representing per capita indebt-
edness. In 1880 the net indebtedness
of the Southern States was $11.20 to
every inhabitant. In 1890 it was re-
duced so each person is represented
by an indebtedness of $8.08. The
State of Tennessee reduced the total
debt from $32,000,000 in 1880 to 1
than $20,000,000 in 189'
pressed hv per . as ex-
indebtedness,
•e 1 in the first year named to
$11.13 in the last.
In 1878 the Southern States expend-
ed $8,877,370 for school purposes, in-
cluding buildings, school expenses,
salaries, etc., but not payment on
bonded indebtedness. In 1888 ten
years later such total expenditures
reached $16,806,668. Tennessee alone
increased her expenditures durino- tu-

paper, and he is at once deluged with
letters from all parts of the United
States, and all of them are anxiously
asking for more information. No won-
der, then, that people who are in the
line of the exhibit cars crowd to see
them with such curiosity, and finding
any particular section represented by
an exhibit which pleases them par-
ticularly, exclaim: “That is the coun-
try I want. That is where I amgoing.”
The Texas exhibit at the World’s Fair
will be a thousand times more bene-
ficial to the State, and the immigration
it will bring will be of the kind that
Texas needs; thriving, energetic, wide-
awake people, who will build up the
State in the most substantial way.
Such advertising as this costs the State
something, but like most advertising,
it pays.”
Every Texan should rally around
the World’s Fair enterprise; every
Texan should nurture the cause and
foster the grand undertaking to place
on the shores of Lake Michigan a
building that will fill the stranger
with surprise and the incredulous
with belief—an exhibit that will cause
admiring thousands to cry out in
amazement: “Behold Texas!” It is
the one grand opportunity in the his-
tory of the State, and our people must
avail themselves thereof or spend the
next decade in paying the penalty of
their folly of omission.
The Evening Tribune says: Dallas
has its State Fair, Fort Worth has had
its Spring Palace, both of which enter-
prises have done a great deal to build
up and attract attention to these
North Texas cities; but the advantage
of these enterprises are incomparable
with the advantage that will result to
Galveston from a permanent exposi-
tion located here which will embrace
the entire exhibition that will go from
Texas to the World’s Fair.
Texas must not fail to participate in
an exhibition costing nearly fifty mil-
lions of dollars; one in which every
nation and commonwealth in the
world will be represented, and where
she can show her vast resources to
fifty millions of visitors, which means
in five years a million new people and
five hundred millions more money in
circulation in our State.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRY.
The Wonderful Progress Made During
the Past Decade.
Mr. Carroll D. Wright, United States
Commissioner of Labor, delivered an
address last Thursday night, April
7, at the Watkins Institute, in Nash-
ville, Tennessee, on the progress of the
Southern States from 1880 to 1890. In
the course of his remarks he said:
The Southern States in 1870 pro-
duced but 184,540 tons of pig iron; in
1880, 397,301 nettons;and in 1890,1,730,-
909 net tons of pig iron were produced.
In steel the South has not yet made
much progress. In 1880 the number
of net tons was 4350, and in 1890 184,-
625. This is the most encouraging
outlook and bespeaks for the South a
steel industry in the future of which
she will be proud.
The average cost of pig iron in the
northern part of the United Sates for
the run of a furnace is about $14 per
Every year sees a more marked dis-
inclination on the part of immigration
to seek a home in the bleak northwest,
and when once it is demonstrated
that a more kindly climate and equal
returns can be secured by capital and
agricultural labor, the stream of im-
migration will be turned southwest.
Kansas, Colorado and the Pacific
slope and the South Atlantic States
are all preparing to put themselves on
reoord at Chicago, competitors for im-
migration. The argument will be the
products of their several sections and
unless Texas shows equal claims with
any and all of these for the desired
capital and immigration she will fail
of securing them. This World’s Fair
at Chicago should be made the su-
preme opportunity of this State. That
it can be made so is doubted by no one
acquainted with her resources and
prospective development. These nat-
ural advantages, however, must be
made known and made known by
such a general presentation of all that
Texas has to offer to capital and im-
migration that all who see may be con-
vinced. To do this requires money.
To attempt to raise money by legisla-
tive appropriation has practically
failed, and it now rests with the peo-
ple to raise this money themselves.
Galveston has proposed the most feas-
ible plan, yet suggested for raising at
least half the entire amount that will
be required. Galveston, however, in
this proposition has not been prompted
entirely by patriotism or unselfish
motives as in providing this money
she also proposes to provide for her-
self an auxiliary exposition that will
more than repay her on the invest-
ment she proposes to make for the
good of the public.
The Austin Statesman, on the sub-
ject, adds: The tide of immigration is
setting towards Texas, and the east-
ern States will be able to catch only
the smallest proportion of it. The
people of Texas themselves can have
no idea of the wide and growing in-
terest in this State. All over the
south and east and north, thousands
of people are eagerly seeking every
possible avenue of information about
Texas. They are fully determined to
make their homes in some part of this
great State; but their ideas of the
land to which they are coming are so
misty and vague that it is almost im-
possible for them to decide upon a lo-
cation. Let any Texan write the brief-
est descriptive letter concerning his
section to any northern or eastern

The New Ca ifornia.
This part of Southwest Texas has
been so called, because it has a
climate so fine that none could think
of any place hut California for com-
parison, and because specimens of
all the things grown in California
have been made to grow here also.
But the New California is the bet-
ter California.
Those who have come here from
the Pacific Coast say that this cli-
mate is the best, and those who have
studied our agriculture know that
our products will he greater in num-
ber and greater in value.
The old California was suddenly
given life and made a fruitful vine-
yard by the master spirit of progress
which took men across an untracked
continent for gold; hut this, the
newer, nearer, better region, has
lain for decades hound in the ser-
vice of an industry which forbade
its use for agriculture.
Now the bonds are loosened; rail-
roads open the way, and land can
he had in parcels large or small
Those who would share in the last-
ing benefits of what promises to he
the greatest agricultural develop-
ment of the age are invited to come.
They are invited to share in the ad-
vantages they might have gained
had they become the first possessors
of the lands of the old California;
and they can be truthfully told that
the geographical limitations of the
United States make this the only
similar chance they will ever have.
The following extract from the
Report for 1890 of the U.S. Secretary
of Agriculture shows what has been
done in California, andAvill convey
an idea of what will he accomplished
on the Live-Oak Peninsula: !

d are making rapid
e sky and the ever-shm-
mg sun, in Avhose rays he finds no
oppressive heat.
. The fear that it is too good to last
is natural to those coming from lo-
calities Avhere samples of all the va-
rieties of climate the year can pro-
duce are frequently shoAvn in one
day.
Here in midsummer the early
morning greets you with the cooling
freshness of spring. With the ris-
ing sun the breeze from the sea fresh-
ens, and all day long it rolls the cot-
tony white clouds across the sky.
In every shady spot it is cool at mid-
day, and the vertical rays of the sun
at noon are tempered to the degree
of comfortable endurance. Sunstroke
is unknown.
At night, Avith the setting sun, ap-
'ear the glorious tints that r3* °'aV
outhem skies at the Beginning ana
the ending of the day; the wind from
the cool bosom of the broad Gulf
bloAvson, driving the last trace of
heat from city streets, forest and
field, cooling the air instantly upon
the disappearance of the sun; not
dying aivay to rise again Avith the
sun in the morning, hut remaining
to bless the pleasant hours of night
in equal measure with the day.
And so are all the days, the weeks,
the months. No sultry, suffocating
hours, when men gasp for breath
and stew in a damp atmosphere. We
do not have them.
There is probably no place in the
United States where hotter summer
days are not experienced. If the
Canadian had the magic means of
transferring himself each morning to
our beautiful coast he Avould come
here every day to cool off. And he
Avould stay all night.
Even the Kicker admits that our
climate is without reproach. He
kicks at everything he sees or hears
of until he comes to the climate,
