Rheumatism
Usually settles in the back or limbs,
and often SO completely overpowers
its victims that all business or labor
has to be abandoned. Our readers
should remember that Hoods Sar-
saparilla il not recommended as IL
positive specific for rheumatism; its
proprietors doubt il there is, or can
be, such remedy. But many peo-
pie who were most severely afflicted
state that they have been positively
cured by Hoods Sarsaparilla. The
disease is often the result OF impure
blood.-hence the power of this
great medicine over it. Its success
in many severe cases justities us in
recommending its use to all suffer
ers from rheumatism. 100 Doses

THE COMING ELECTION.
A Correspondent Suggests the Names
of Few Men Who Would Make
Good Aldermen.

To the Light.
The best interests of San Antonio i'm
periOusy demand that it should draft
into its city government its best BUSH
ness men-men, known and respected
for their sound business judgment and
energy of character. and who have
earned and won the confidence OF their
fellow citizens by strict prObity. IL is
an Cgregious mistake to suppose that
anyone that is not an idiot, is capable of
dsuharging the grave duties OF mayor
or alderman. 1t is equally as great mis-
take to Imagine that the possession of
the respect and confidence of the public
dOrs not increase the usefulness of pub
lie officers and give t. them weight,
that challenges respect for their views
1t suggestions The people Of San An
tonic cannot afford TO play the part of
CIams; they must manifest an Interest
in city affairs and strive to elect munich
pal officers who can push forward the
various improvements SO badly needed,
simply because they possess the entire
confidence of the people. Ward bosses
and pot-hOuse politicians are generally
more noted for trickery and jugglery
than for sound judgment and knowledge
rejecting portion of the public.
Inasmuch as four aldermen are to be
elected for the city at large, 1t stands
the people in hand to choose four Of the
best qualified men that can be culled out
of the city. AS part and parcel of the
nredful qualification, | include weight
of character, sound judgment business
knowledge and business habits, and the
possession of the confidence Of the peO-
pie ! we are to inaugurate syetem
Of improvements that will require the
expenditure of q considerable sum of
money, il is essential that the city gov
prnmcnt should possess the confidence
of the people. 1t strikes me that Col. III.
Il. Andrews or Mr.. Ed. KOtua, in the
Third ward. Mr.. w. II. Huermann or
Mr.. kOeher in the Fourth ward:
W. T. Story or Dr. SlOCum in the
second ward james NJ. Foster, or Alder
man Gallagher, in the Fourth ward,
would fill the bill' as aldermen from
the city at large. They are all progress
sivr Hen-which, in my humble Onin-
ion, is a prerequisite. Captain Story
was in favor of progressive measures
during the time that he held seat in
the council, and | take il for granted he
is of the same mir d still.
80 lar as my lhulVlduai IeelthSs are
concerned, deprecate a political scram-
bile for the aldermaniG offices when are
to he filled by the vote OF the entire city,
and my reason for doing so is that de-
Fire to see the best qualified men elected.
A political scramble would be very apt
to Illustrate that most desirable result.
This article has been written without
any consultation with the gentlemen
mentioned. but presume all of them are
imbued with too much public spirit to
refuse TO serve, should the people elect
them. ALLONs

to Sl25, 900 per annum from such an in
sursuce business, the city could be won
drrfuly improved and beautitied in the
course OF ten years, without taking a
cent from the pockets Of citizens to pay
for such improvements.
The money paid out for insurance
would remain ia San Antonio instead Of
being sent to New York, Chicago,
ST. Louis, Boston, etc, etc. The
losses by fire never have aggregated
500, 1000 In any one year In the past
history Of San Antonio, and are not
Iikclv 10 do so in the future; so that the
deposit of Sl5O.OOO kept constantly on
hand in the bank would fully suffice to
Iiuuidate all losses by fire thrt might
occur in any one year.
As Il matter OF course, the city would
conduct the insurance business upon
strictly business principles and 10 con
forniiy with the rules and regulations
at present enforced by the Insurance
companies in their dealings with their
patrons or customers. Thus conducted.
it would be both safe and profitable.

State University.

Up to the present time our average
Texan has given very little attention TO
the actual condition of our state school
lands. AS an illustration, our State
university lands are held for actual set
Tiers at 81 per acre, or 20 years time
and the building of Axe pig pen, and
during the past three years the transact
lions foot up the immense quantity of
three sections sold, while our university
remains unfinished and without funds
TO continue constructions. The build
ing completed is to cost Sl50,000. and up
to the present about $4,000 has been ex-
pended. If some brainy member Of the
next legislature would propose bill al
lowing our university the benefit OF
what already belongs to 1t, this build
ing could easily be completed within
two years, without a single cent outlay
TO the state. The university lands are
located in counties that will not be in
demand as agricultural lands for
ten years to come. AS evidence
of this fact only three sections have
been sold in the last three years.
These lands are fine grazing lands. and
can easily be leased for five or ten years
at cents per acre. This plan would
give our university an annual income of
$4,000. with which, in short time, it
could be made a grand Institution and
credit TO Texas, free from all cost to the
taXunEcrs
