The number OF men out Of employ
ment In the United States Is put at
100000. OF this number Texas has her
full share, and yet journals Of this state
are asking for 10000 or more to go to
work In Texas cotton and cornfields.

laborers anywhere In the state, in many

less and cruel as it is thoughtless.

The very uncertain details are given
OF the burning Of the lower Mississippi
steamer, ]. N. White, at Point Coupee,
thirty miles above Baton Rouge, on
Monday night. Reports are very con-
dicting a. to lives lost, the accounts
varying from q dozen to over sixty
This latter number, judging from the
accounts Of passengers saved, Is under
rather than over the real number, one
half OF whom were roustabouts. That so
many lives were lost while the boat W as
at her landing taking on freight would
seem improbable, but the accounts all
unite In saying that almost from the
moment the alarm was sounded the
vessel seemed wrapped in flames. She
had over 5000 bales OF cotton on board
and the pillows Of fire rolled over and
through her cabins and texas like the
nash OF q vast sheet OF lightning. She
was the finest boat on the river and her
loes is severe blow to the lower Mis-
sissipI trade. The boats papers were
all ioet and 1t Is not likely that any ao-
count OF the number Of missing can be
accurately given. One passenger places
the number OF cabin passengers at fifteen
or eighteen and another at sixty-fiye. A
very wide margin for differences. Col.
James, OF New Orleans, seriously In
jured, AYERS that not less than sixty
lives were lost.

SOME SUGGESTIVE FACTS.
Editor San Antonio Light.

The absolute necessity OF sewerage in
San Antonio lie admitted by every man
of sense In the city, still there is no pro-
Dounced movement in its favor Cd the
part of the taxpayers. Must we defer
action until the city shall be decims'ed
by some epidemic generated In the
filth accumulated In the cityr Must we
wait until the good name Of the city for
health 10 entirely gOne-its growth sus-
pended, and the tide OF health-seekers
diverted TO some other place with not
half our climatic advantages?
The laws of sanitation are never dis
regarded with impunity, and one Of the
primary laws OF sanitation 10 that the
seeds OF malarial epidemics germinate
I'm filth and garbage. No matter how
healthy a city may be, In consequence OF
its naturally salubriOus climate. 1t still
stands In need Of sanitation In the shape
Of sewers Because San Antonio en-
loved good health In past years. while
IL WAS n small town, 1t does not follow
that II does not need sewers, now thar
IL contains 1900 souls. The very
leyelness Of ground on which the city
stands, Is an unanswerable argument in
favor OF sewers to carry oil eX-
tremendous matter.
10 show the immense Importance OF
sanitation, have clipped the following
extract from a paper read by DR.. Ock.
ford, at the recent homeopathic medical
convention In New Orleans, and now In
yite the readers attention TO II.

SAM JONES COMING.
The Ministers Arranging with the Georgia
Reviyalist for Protracted Meeting.

Il was expected that Rev. J. w. Duncan
would deliver address on ''Pauperism" at the
meeting of Methodist ministers yesterday morn
ing, but he was unable to be present and the
session was occupied in the discussion of popu-
bar amusements. Progressive euchre was gener-
ally condemned as q monstrous social evil but,
rs full justice could not be done the subject, it
was decided to take 1t up for further discussion
ut another time The contemplated visit of
Sam Jones TO this city was the subject of some
talk It was stated by one of the ministers that
after a rest of two weeks at Atlanta Mr.. Jones
would stop in Indianapolis and preach one night
on his way to Chicago. He will return to this
city some time next summer and remain four
weeks, conducting protracted meeting. One
OF the special conditions on which he consents to
make the visit is that his preaching shall not be
upder the auspices Of any single church. and
another stipulation is that the meetings shall be
held in tent capable of holding 200 people,
With open sides 60 that all within the reach of
his voice could hear him. It was estimated by
the ministers that 81. 600 would be required to
pay the expenses OF these meetings and it was
believed that this sum could be easily raised. il
the revival could be fairly started as contribu
tions would come voluntarily afterwards The
sum required by Jones for his services will not
be fixed until the beginning of the meetings.

A Favorable Showing.

George T. Bruenig, ex-city clerk, said to a re-
porter yesterday: II think that the reports of
buildings erected in this city have never given
the city full credit for buildings really erected.
The report for the year 1885 shows OBJ building
permits issued, calling for an expenditure of
1925, 100. which l am satisfied does not give a
fair showing, for the reason, first, that great
many buildings have been erected for which no
permits were taken out, through ignorance of the
law or forgetfulness; and second, that great
many persons, being under the erroneous I'M
preston that the building permits are used by
the assessor basis for making the
assessment for taxation, give in the value or cost
of their buildings at ne.half or one third their
real cost.
If the police would pay more attention to
buildings being erected, as to requiring permits
to be taken out and if the people would under
stand that the cost of buildings is taken by the
city clerk simply for statistical purposes, / am
satisfied that hereafter the city would make a
very fine showing. The amount given above l
think may safely be increased one third, making
total. in round numbers, Of 81 200, 900.
