Spreading Disease in Books.

We have on several occasions dis
cussed the possibility of conveying in
lection by means of books lent out by
circulating libraries. That disease may
be thus conveyed there can be no doubt,
though this affords no real ground of
objection to the loan system if ordinary
precaution is observed. tbs, therefore,
the more satisfactory to note that IL
brarians on their part are not inclined
to neglect any due care in this particu-
lar. AS an instance, we may now refer
to the method pursued at one public es-
Enlistment of this kind where lists of
all tho infected houses in the surround
ing streets are received weekly. The
occupants of such houses, if in receipt
of books, are warned not to return them
until efectually disinfected. No doubt
the Act for the Notification of Infectious
Diseases would afford a useful assist
ance to all such endeavors on the part
OF Librarians to avoid any possible trans
fer OF contagion. and they would do
well to avail themselves of its aid. It
should be remembered, however, that it
does not cover every communicable dis
ease, measles being q noteworthy ex-
ception. In order to secure still further
the desired immunity, it is advisable
that each borrower be required, under
suitable penalties, to guarantee the
freedom of his household from infection
at the time being, to report Immediately
the appearance of infectious diseases,
and to arrange for disinfection of books
on loan to him. We would further sug-
gest that the work of disinfection be
carried out if possible at the library
building itself Its efficiency could
then be assured. Lancet.

Year after year the F. r. Collins
Manufacturing Company have made
additional improvements to their
works in San An ohio, until they now
have he largest water supply estab-
lishment il the southwest. But their
business is still on the increase, and
still further engagements are found
necessary. They have recently pur-
chased the fine property adjoining
their factory property on st. Mary's
street, and propose enlarging their
tank works and erecting a large tOun-
dry and machine shop. When these
improvements are completed it is
PROBABLE that all wind mills and most
other machinery handled by them
will be made here. The advantages
of this to those who deal with them
will be obvious to all. Only the best
Of material will be used and all work
can be fully warranted.

The Mistake of the Times

4 ne "lSIdhe OF the 4 lHleS'
| To the San Antonio LIGHT:
The San Antonio Times falls into
the error of mixing up politics with
the Grand Army of the Republic when
| commenting upon some trouble arts
ing over the admission OF colored vet
Grams into the organization in Lou
isiana.
Thousands of colored veterans be-
long to the g. A. r., and there is no
bar to the organization of posts COM
posed of cOIored men. The organiza-
ton is largely social in its character
and nOn-partisan. To draw the con-
clusion that because cOlOred veterans
are not organized along with the
whites in southern parts there
fore the republican politicians should
take a hand in the matter,
or that it furnishes any argument
justifying political race troubles in
the south, is not only erroneous but
savOrs OF ignorance in regard to the
G. A. II.
The g. A. r. contains a large body
of men who are democrats in their
political faith, as well as repu blicans
and adherents to other political par
ties.
Admission to the order is entirely
a matter of choice with the members
of each post. And it does not follow
as Il matter of course that any man
because he is white can be admitted
Our cOlOred people, north and south,
organize their own social and reIig-
ious societies; their own military or
CARNATIONS. The democratic consti-
tuition OF the state of Texas separates
them in the public schools, and the
colorsd people are jealous in the mat
ter of the teachers and demand coiored
teachers. ,r-,,-,-.. -
Is would be just as fair to arraign
the Methodist and Baptist churches
for keeping the eolored people to
themselves. 1t is plain that only af-
ter the cOlOred man has passed the
pearly gates of the New Jerusalem,
wi his social position be made plain,
and no democratic paper will be able
to frame an excuse tor the outrages
committed upon him as citizen.
