IT is enough that Texas must do the duty
and public service of the United States
and sustain military forces along the from
tier But now the Legislature is asked to
adopt a grand river and harbor bill such
as Congress enacts. The barbors along
the coast as we'll as frontier defense be-
come q local instead of Federal burden,
and Galveston is here to force the scheme
through the Legislature. We would like
to see a Granger, in good standing, try
his luck by supporting this scheme. Not
content with most generous subventions to
all roads converglng in Galveston, with the
extraordinary chartered right to levy un
heard of exsctions through the Wharf
Company upon the whole commerce of the
State, a body of exceeding good people,
who prefer to live on a sand bar in
the oceans midst to a spot on shore,
absolutely ask the Legislature to foot
bills incurred by the folly of those
who choose to dwell On such spot. Tex
as is asked to give up :he little wreck of
the public domain left US by Tom Scott to
quart sand bank against tho dacrees nf
Providence. If!the good people of Calves
ton must appeal to Hercules for help we
must insist that the doughty god find his
Olympus in Washington and not in Austin.
If Texas must open Galveston, or any har-
Dor, it were infinitely wiser for the State to
open that which the mouth of the BraZOs
would properly constitute, and If this task
must be executed by the State or its re-
sources, there are dozen points at which
the States wealth, for such purposes,
might be more wisely invested than at a
fiat sea beach where no ship, when tenn
pests are brewing, can ever repose in safety.

VOL. V.
PURGATION OF THE CAPITAL.

Hurd & Houghton, Of New York, have
published George E. Warnings articles on
" Drainage of Houses and Towns" that
appeared IN the Attantic Monthly, in pretty
volume. Every mayo- and alderman of
Texas towns and cities should have copy,
and there are two or three chapters that
should be reS1 before the two houses of
the LegissGture. The book is quite as
vallsSSSto architects, showing them how
81 construct houses and water pipes that
are not always cloggcd. In fact, the book
is SO practical and universally useful that
we cannot refrain from commencing 1t. 1t
points out the fact, from which everybody
suffers in Austin, that the contents Of SINKS
percolate the soil and enter cIsterns; and
we are shown how it happens that d fearful
degree of mortality and the typhoid fevers
Of this latitude are due to the neglect OF
proper measures of drainage by the rulers
of towns and cities. The horrible sink
that, undrained for an age, smells to
heaven in summer time on Capitol Square,
is the veriest disgrace to CIVILIZATION ana
decency. An earthen pipe, leading to the
rIver and costing little, and another of iron
from the reservoir. would redeem the place
and divest it of foul poisonous exhalations
and deadly contagion could find no victim
in the Capitol. The Legislature has the
right to provide for its own safety
and for the health and fresh air
of the officers of government. 1t is not
only the right but the duty of Iawgivers to
care for these matters, and therefore there
is everywhere, as an incident of such bodies,
standing committee having the public
square and public buildings in special
charge. There should be such joint COM
mittee of the two houses that disease may
not be engendered by accumulating' filth
either about the Capitol or the city which
was chosen, for its original healthfulness,
to be the seat of government. The book
to which we refer states that ''when sewers
are tardily undertaken, they are so faultily
made as to aggravate the evils they are in
tended to remove" " and we are inclined to
relieve while each lawgiver confesses that
sewers will become necessary, sooner or later,
that the pestpOnement of their construc-
tiOn may give origin to disease and foot
hold to epidemics, and obliterate every
fact that caused this spot to be chosen as
the site for massive foundation stones of
majestic public buildings. The Committee
on Public Grounds and Buildings should
confer with the municipal authorities, and
at any reasonable cost the foul sinks and
fetid accumulations of reeking filth, gener-
ting disease and death, should be swept
sway in sewers from among abodes of de
c,ncy and legislation and from proximity
to clsterns.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1876-05-18

TEXAS has one thousand and five hun
dred miles of sea coast and the Legislature
is expected to build coffer-dams along the
whole distance and open ports with public
land and build sea walls, and then erect
Chinese wall around Galveston to give it
safe anchorage. Meanwhile the wharf
company still levies, unheard-of exActious
upon the commerce of the State and fiat
shores of the sea-girt isle constitute no pro-
lection to vessels at anchor, and the people
say that 1t were wiser to expend a million
in opening the bar at the mouth of the
Brazos that the navies of the world msy
find safe haven on the coast of Texas.
