Contagious Blood Diseases.

Ulcers, sores, pimples, itch, salt
rheum, ETC., are evidences of contagi
Gus blood disease. 1t is manifestly a
duty to eradicate blood poison from
the system by use of B. B. B. (Bo-
tanic Blood Balm, thus enabling the
sore places to heal, and thereby re-
moving all possibility of other mem
bers of the family becoming likewise
afflicted. Send to Blood Balm Co.,

LAREDO IN THE FIELD.
And Reaching out Vigorously for the Insane
ASYLUM.

And Reaching out Vigorously for the Insane
Asylum.
The following from the Gate City
shows that Laredo has advantages
that cannot be lightly passed over:
Laredo can offer the state of Texas
$40 acres of land within the city lin
its.in solid bodylwhichs.can not. beIsur-
passed as site for an insane asylum
by any locality in the state.
***
There is no healthier place in all
Texas than Laredo, and in this respect
it offers superior inducements for the
location OF the asylum.
~
Laredo is accessible to all parts of
southwest Texas by railroad communi-
cation, except the Rio Grande valley,
which has no railroad, and Laredo &C.
cupies central position in this val
ley.
Laredo has all the modern conven-
fences to offer the asylum, such as
electric lights, water works, tele-
phones, ice factories and electric mo-
tor street railways.
Xxx
At Laredo both wood and coal are
cheaper than at any other point in
Texas. Wood can be contracted for
by the hundred cords at $3.50 per
cord and superior coal mined at her
very doors at "a per ton.
***
All classes of building material,
such as lumber, brick, rock and lime,
can be had as cheap at Laredo as
at any point in southwest Texas.
***
Owing to the cheapness of labor at
Laredo the state of Texas can build a
one-third finer building at Laredo for
$3.50, 900 than at any other point in
Texas.

ought greatly to be cheapened.

INTERSTATE COMMERCE. REPORT.

The first annual report of the in
terstate commerce commission has
been issued, and it shows the stock
and bonded Indebtedness of the rail
way systems operating in the United
States.
The Indebtedness is supposed to
show the cost of construction of the
several systems. The heaviest in
debtedness is placed against the Penn
sylvania Central, four hundred and
seven thousand, four hundred and
eighty-six dollars per mile; the sec
ond, the New York Central, two hun
bred and ten thousand and forty-two
dollars per mile. The least costly
road on the list is the Southern Pa
cifc, which is rated at seventeen thou
sand, one hundred and fifty-seven dol
lars per mile. Between the four hun
dred and seven thousand, four hun
dred and eighty-six dollars of the
Pennsylvania and the seventeen thou
sand, one hundred and fifty-seven
dollars of the Southern Pacific,
there is difference that can
hardly be accounted for on ordinary
commercial principles. The Pennsyl-
vania road represents double, triple and
quadruple tracks, costly bridges, sta
tions and general equipments. The
other represents single track over a
country presenting most of the way
no great obstacle to overcome and no
such lavish outlay as is visible at all
points on the Pennsylvania road. But
the cost of the Pennsylvania road is
about twenty times that of the Pacific.
The Baltimore and Ohio has an in
debtedness of sixty-seven thousand,
three hundred and thirty-six dollars
per mile; the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, thirty-seven thousand, three
hundred and twenty-seven dollars /;
Rock Island and Pacific, sixty-one
thousand, and thirty-four dollars; Mis-
souri, Pacific, sixty-two thousand, nine
hundred and forty-five dollars; Chicago
and Northwestern, forty-two thousand,
eight hundred and eighty-five dollars;
Atlantic and Pacific, one hundred and
thousand, seven hundred
and twenty-five dollars; the Northern

STATE = OMFOOLERY.


islature the governor has appointed a
committee to select a site for the
Southwestern Asylum for the insane.
The committee has organized and is
on its travels as jury of view. In the
meantime the location has been put
up at auction and ambitious towns,
not out of their swaddling clothes, and
cross-road postofiices will bid for the
same.
This is all wrong and it is not emf
nently calculated to impress people of
ordinary intelligence that the state
has surplus of business sense, gener-
osity or dignity.
The idea of a great and wealthy
state like Texas engaging to build a
charitable institution going out upon
the highways and byways, asking the
people how much they will give to Sc
cure its location among them!
Texas is the only state where the
auction business of locating public
buildings is in vogue, and past expert
ence shows that it has been costly to
her taxpayers.
Is an asylum or other institution
erected by Texas merely to benefit
some local interest or politician, or is
it to benefit the whole people?
If it is the people, then it should be
placed where it can be cheaply
maintained; where it will be easy OF
access and where it will do the great
est good to the greatest number, and
it should be located without any dona-
ton and without any tomfoolery.
A little less political jugglery and
clap-trap in the matter of locating
public institutions and a little more
plain, common, business sense and
patriotism will be of infinite benefit
just now, and a blessing to tax
payers.
There is but one"place, from a prac-
teal, business point of view, health
and other advantages, in all south or
southwest Texas, where this new
asylum should be located, and that
place is San Antonio.
A large institution, such as the
asylum will be, can be maintained at
San Antonio twenty-five per cent
less than at any other point in
south or southwest Texas. The
buildings can be put up as
cheap, if not cheaper, and
it will be of more easy
access than if located at some other
place.
The North Texas asylum should
have been located at Dallas, and a
great and costly mistake was made
when the location for the East Texas
penitentiary was auctioned off and
the prison located at Rusk.
San Antonio is the place for that
new asylum, donation or no donation,
and The STATESMAN hopes, in the in
terest of convenience and economy to
the people of Texas, it will be located
there.
