NEW LUHATIC ASYLUM,
| The commissioners in charge have re.
ported in favor of locating the branch luna.
tic asylum at Terrell, Kaufman county.
The commissioners seem to have discharged
their duty with diligence and circumspec.
ton. They have taken into consideration
the claims of number of other places that
vera IN competition, and have decided on
Terrell as combining more elements OF
qualification than any other point. Te.-
rell is easy of access, being directly ON the
Texas Pacific, and, therefore, in connection
with all quarters of the state by lines run.

The want of accommodation for the unior-

the state had worked great injury on our
people, and had constituted painful re-

THE BRANCH ASYLUM.
Before this issue of the Star reaches its
readers, it will be generally known that
Terrell has been selected as the location for
the branch lunatic asylum, and our citi-
zens will not BIO slow to appreciate the
compliment bestowed upon us by the SO.
lection, as it Is an official endorsement of the
superior advantages of Terrell over all the
other competitors for the location. The
law creating this commission required
them to seek the most advantages as re-
CARDS health water, fuel, productive soil,
ana accessibility to the population OF north
Iexas. The three gentlemen appointed to
select the location were men of unquestion-
ed ability, spotless integrity and state wide
reputation. Citizens of distant part of
the state, they were totally disinterested in
the location, other than to fluid the place
ailording the greatest number of the ad-
vantages named in the law. Thirty DAYS
have been spent by these gentlemen inyes.

OF Terrell will ever cause them to regret

LET GALVESTON TAKE CARE OF HERSELF.
Colonel Il. W. Pierce expressed himself
the other day rs favoring the idea of the
state taking stock to the amount of SO
100000, in the effort to obtain 25 feet of
water on the bar at Galveston. Would 3d.
100000 secure that depth of water? Ii no
larger sum than that would be required,
why has IL not been raised by Galveston
long ago2 IL is n pretty large sum of
money 10 risk, 20 be sure, but it would be a
trille to Galveston if there was any certainty
of obtaining and keeping % feet of water on
her bar. How much would it take to Sc
cure that depth OF water ut the mouth of
the Brazos, where the finest harbor on the
Gulf of Mexico could be obtained, the bar
once removed We have heard il said that
the lots In Nelasco and Quintana at the
mouth Of the Brazos had all been bought
up by capitalists some time ago. What ior?
We know the estimate made to obtain deem
water there was far less than $40, 900 OOO.-

CUI BONO.
The young men composing all the COM
panies which entered into the competition
at New Orleans and Nashville, would i'm ali
likelihood be found keeping perfect stem
and time with each other If their country
called them to tented fields and while it Is
,, important that our citizen soldiers should
understand and practice what is laid down
IN the tactics, and now and then "competi-
tive drills" might be both improving and
pleasant, still there is an old saying about
too much ct certain thing making 1t diff.
cult for canine to swallow, which may
not be improperly applied here, and we
honestly believe, and volm ter the opin.
ION, that our citizen soldiers had better
take long vacation, so far as 'competti, o
drills, are concerned, for surely indications
are, that they are not productive of as
much good as will offset the other thing
