A FINE CLIMATE.

We may truthfully say that San Antonio
enjoys more fine days during the year than
any other city on the continent. If the read
er will cast his or her eyes upwards you will
discover the deepest blue sky in the world,
and our sunsets are glorious. The weather
is actually never so severe but what our peo-
pie might be out for pleasure or business
every day of the year. Then what is it that
interferes with our perfect content and happi-
ness?
When people get together in city in order
to be healthy and comfortable large outlay
of money is required.
The continuous traffic and travel over the
streets requires that they be paved with some
durable, clean material, or else they become
unsightly and impossible.
The dirt and filth of city must be dis
posed of in some speedy way or else it will
dispose Of the people.
A river and irrigating bitches are very
handy to dump dirt into, but as the city
grows larger these natural sewers will begin
| to stink.
Sewerage is necessary in all towns of over
&c, 900 people. Otherwise no matter how fine
the climate the people will be afflicted with
malarions diseases.
In the occupation Of business people forget
that recreation is also necessary What is a
fine climate worth if there is not pleasant
drive or walk in or about the city?
Nature, left to herself, makes all things to
harmonic, and in the course of years COM
pletely obliterates the scars made by thought
less man; but when city is started in lovely
natural situation, Of vale and hill, of forest
and river, unless art is summoned to the res
cue. all beauty and natural loneliness is de-
stroyed. Our old city, as it was twenty years
ago. furnished a pleasing picture,-t was a
quaint old place, and its adobe buildings and
old ruins accorded we'll with its surroundings,
But now we are aspiring to be modern city,
and things must be made to harmonic. A
city is a costly aftair-it either costs life Or
money. A dirty city is maintained at the cost
of human lives; clean city at the cost of the
peoples money.
Climate won't save us much longer. That's
what We are getting at. Our city government
must adopt policy in accordance with the
necessity OF the times.

"Fun i'm u Boarding school,"

"Fun in Boarding SCHOOL, was on the
boards at Turner Hall last evening. As
play it is not worthy a thought unless it be
one of strong condemnation. 1t is merely a
framework for the introduction of more pleas
ing features. John E. Ince earned applause
by his rendition of Sergt. Buzfuzz' speech, as
reported in Pickwick papers, and Miss Lisetta
Ellan Miss T. Newcomb, Miss E. tones
and Charlie Allison received encomiums for
their singing. Miss Ellani charmed the en-
tire audience. She has a pleasing voice
which reminds one Of Minnie Palmer's. Be-

"GovERNoR ROBERTS has secured the
chancellorship of the law department of the
state university. We congratulate him and
express our entire satisfaction at the choice of
the regents. ~ Houston Post
What is the use of playing toady; you know
that he is unfit for the position, and you know
that his appointment is of his own creation
and is sort of pension on the part of the
democracy of the state. five have to PEN
sion these old spawned, wind-broken, string
halted democratic ofice-seckers, let US do it
directly from the state cash balance, and not
aict the youth of Texas with their drivlings
and imbiciliy, and questionable habits One
consolation, It will be many long day before
this university becomes a "capstone," as the
Statesman calls it.
