TIIOMAH II, JOHNBO.V, Xluslness Manager, TUDII8IIAT, JAMJAKY 3, 1884. There ! going to be a power of fun in ths House when the wool question conies up. A Fort Worth institution proposes to spend $30,000 on a iliiplsr at the New Orleans exposition. A level headed philosopher, in discussing the stignant condition of trade, cine very near the truth when he said all tlie country needed at the present time was to be let alone, and the greatest dagger was from tariff tinkering. It 13 refreshing to see that there Is an earn est desire upon the part of the numerous can didates for Aldermen to place themselves on record as being In favor of city improvements generally. Good streets and sewers needed in San Antonio now, popular opinion has wrked up to the fact, and progressive, wide-awake Aldermen U1 provide a way for them. The two most practical remedies suggested to break up the fence cutting troubles 1 herd law and the establiihment of county roads. The latter would ia a measure pre vent the fencing up of last tracts of land and no doubt be more acceptable than would a herd law, which simply would be a system of wholesale theft, where might makes right and the small proprietor the loser. While Texas was mainly a frontier State, with an unsettled population and few advan tages in the way of recular judicial machinery for the execution of criminal laws, lynch law was more or less to be looked for, but the condition of things has now entirely changed, and all eicuse for lynch law has disappeared, The courts are now ample and areregulrrly holden, the jails are secure, and lawlessness can be punished in case juries vs. ill but do their duty accordiog to their oaths. Lynch law, in any case, shows a contempt lor the majesty of the law, which deserves the condemnation of all good citizens. If lynch law is upheld and defended became it meets the approval of the Immediate community, then fence cutting Is entitled to aland upon the same footing. The ground assumed by the Lull I r Is that lawless' less, In all forms and shapes, lynch law, mur dcr, fence cutting, etc., must be opposed with energy and leal, and respect and reverence for law must be inculcated. Half way measures never turn out well. If men hang men without a legal trial they should make no outcry against fence cutting. Now, let the grand juries indict the persons resorting to lynch law, and let the petty juries convict them, and lynch law will cease. The press of Texas shouldbolJly denounce and condemn all lawlessness, and so educate public opinion as to bring it to be the prop and support o( the laws of the State. This is exactly what is ceded. The Washington Capitol, in an article the condition of General McKenzie, says: "It is not true, as stated in some quarters, that General McKenzie has inherited his Insanity. There was no taint in his family. His uncle, John Slidell, who was a Judge in Louisiana and afterwards United States Senator, did die at an advanced aged of softening of the brain, but there was no insanity In his case. Nobody ever accused John Slidell of crazlness. Gen eral McKenzie'a father, whose name was orig' inally Alexander Slidell, took the name of McKenzie from a relative who left him a for tune on condition that he would do so. He was 1 commander In the navy at the time of bis death In 1847. The fortune was swept away in the failure ol the United Stales bank, General McKenzie'a mother, whose maiden name was Robinson (she belonged to a New York family and was a relative of Hamilton Fish), died only last year. She was a woman ef strong tialts of character, and left a small fortune tn her daughter Harriet, who since ber death has been keeping house for General McKeaate la San Antonio. Ills only brother Is a lieutenant In the navy. General McKen tie has been taken to Mo.m!ngdale asylum at NewYoik. His Injury Is said to have been from a spent ball which struck near the spine, nil mentally shocked his nervous system. General McKenzie has never spared himself in any way, and his nervous system has been shattered by draughta made upon him. Gen. tral Grant and General Sheridan always spoke of him as one of the greatest military men. They have always believed that II an oppor tunity came he would prove a mtlitarygemus." FOLLOWING on the publication of Major Humphries' report on the question of city sew eisge, the following from the Sanitary Engi neer will be read with Interest, and shows most conclusively that the Waring system would be much mote practical 1 "When a natural watercourse traverses a town, and its bsnks become built upon, the easiest way of getting lid of filth and house wastes Is to throw them Into the stream. Every man's Instinctive impulse Is to get rid of what annoys him, and not to mind how his neighbors will be affected. Afier awhile, when the water course lias become sufficiently natty, the peon fte come to a realizing sense of what they have brought upon themselves, and then they try to devise a remedy. In this they begin usually at the wrong end. They look on the stream as creating the nuisance, and don't consider that it is their abuse of the stream that is the source of the trouble. So they go to nor!: and cover the stream up and call It a er. What is the fesult Simply that the stench of the foul matter In the old channel ts bottled up somewhat, to be vented throu(h every manhole, every Inlet and every house drain, and probably do more real Injury than hen the rotting filth was exposed to the air and the sun, and diffused its aroma through the whole atmoiphere. The channel of a sm'l! natural stream through a town or village ght never to be converted into a sewer for bouse wastes. This will strike a good many people as an odd doctrine, but still it Is sound doctrine. The functions of a natural stream and of a sewer are so diverse that one can not be made to do duty for the other. A natural water course serves for the drainage of the land all along its course. Its banks can not be made water-tight without obstructing the natural progress ol the water In the soil and backing it up and retaining it where it ought not to be retained. A sewer, on the other hand, is intended to carry off foul matters which must be gotten rid of as quickly as possible, and the channel for conveying them must be abso lutely impervious, so that nothing can soak through it to the soil. As the level of the water in the soil rises and falls with the sea son and thi amount of rain, an open-jointed or pervious channel would sometimes admit water from the soil d sometimes permit fluids flowing in the channel above the level of the ground water to flow out, and thus pol lute the soil and the air in the soil. Again, a natural stream draining a conilj- erable territory is subject to great variations in its volume. A channel to carry its extreme discharge in floods must be many times larger than can ever be necessaty for the carriage of the greatest amount of sewerage that can be brought to it. A target channel is not su'ted to the rapid removal of a small flow of filthy fluids, and, moreover, costs a great deal more than a sewer of the proper size. Even if the large channel for a fluctuating stream is built through a village, the sewerage from the houses should not be turned into it unless the minimum volume of the natural flow in the dryest season is large enough to keep the channel thoroughly scoured. There are a good many small towns which have for years gotten along without sewers, and have arched over natural water courses running through the heart of the town, but are now impelled by the "sanitary revival" to construct sewers for removing household wastes. The first impulse is to utilize the covered streams to save the expense of constructing .a few hun dred feet of sewer. They should be very careful how they proceed. It is better to spend a little more money and be safe, than to economize in first cost and spend ten times the saving in doctor's fees and undertaker's bills." Our Local Juphet. In search of a father, Captain Story sends a slim, small delegation to interview Colonel Andrews, of the Sunset road, and request him to make the Aldermanic race against Colonel Ilclknap. Mr. Andrews promptly declined, and "would none of it." Story ia still in quest oftheholygrait. We will tell him where to find a candidate. Let him resign and run for the long term against Colonel Ilclknap and he will be convinced just how much the ward wants him or any other man fighting progress. He would in this event be lucky enough to find at the bottom of the election urn his poll cal tombstone. Story would, evidently, like Artemus Ward, sacrifice anybody, including his wife's relatives, belore he would risk anni hilating himself. A Quaker Desire. Mayor French received this morning a com munication from the Mayor of Philadelphia, Fennsylvania, asking him to use his influence, if agreeable, for the purpose of creating a separate Indian department In the administra tion of poor Lo'a wild lands, his wampum court, and hair-lifting derlck. The maiden In her venison-smelling tepee also has a dime novel bid. The Mayor of Philadelphia is a fellow of "extraordinary pith signing himself Smith." It seems we have beard that name before somewhere. We agree with Quaker City Smith. The Indian needs a separate department. He deserves it. The grave yard should be his immediate resting place. Let us by all means bury the hatchet and then supplement Quaker nonsense from Philadel phia by burying the Indian with the hatchet. Republican - Conventions. From tho Chicago Journal.
