below whas conditions a month ago in

the drouth in South Texas did more
general damage than was at first be-

that territory have been modified.
North Texas has been successful,
not only with wheat, but the cotton
crop there has suffered so severely
from drouth the chances for a
phenomenal crop would have been
good.

THE Ontario and Daily mines at Park
City, Utah, which recently shut down
on account of the low price of silver,
have just made public their reports for
1896. from which it appears that the
cost of producing 1,191 ,672 ounces of
silver from the Ontario last year was
1896 cents per ounce, and from the
Daily, ia, 1913 ounces of silver cost 62t
cents per ounce. The two mines also
produced 1887 ounces of gold last year,
and this production has also been

ONLY eighteen million dollars
worth of foreign goods remained in the
bonded warehouses of the country at
the end of the fiscal year 1897, while at
corresponding date in 1896 the amount
in the bonded warehouses was over
fifty million. This shows how
thoroughly the importers had swept
the world for goods which would be af-
fected by the new tariff law, and ex-
plains the light importations, and
small collections of customs duties dur.

THE democratic papers and polit

THE democratic papers and politi-
clans of Louisiana in discussing the
proposed constitutional convention to
be held in that state, seem to lose sight
altogether of both the spirit and letter
of the constitution of the United
States in their blind determination to
disfranchise large class of native born
American citizens. As indicating the
purpose of the democrats, if they can
control the convention, we quote again
from the New Orleans Daily States,
the ablest democratic daily in Louisi-
ana: "If the convention shall prove
success the negro will be wholly and
permanently eliminated from our po-
iitical system"

FOR CONTAGIOUS DISEASE
Chances Favor the Building of Hos
pital.
The Sherman Avenue Site or Some
Other-Plans Haye Been
Drawn Up.

There is every indication that the District
will have a contagious disease hospital
within short time. iuaaL
1t is understood the Commissioners have
received assurances from Congress that an
appropriation will be granted sat this ses-
sion providing for such an Institution.
In order to fortify themselves against all
contingencies the Commissioners have been
engaged for some time past TN collecting
data relative to contagious hospitals, COM
piling estimates as to cost and drawing
plans embodying all the advantages Of
frst-class institution. 1t is well known
that the District already ewna' site for
such building, but is q prohibited by
act of Congress from using the same. This
site cost the District So, 500 and at pres
ent lies idle. Now. the Commissioners,
realizing the absolute necessity for con-
tagious hospital, and ahkiousA to provide
Washington with such an institution, have
made, it is understood, several propositions
to Congress concerning the matter. One is
that the site, located on Sherman avenue,
above referred to is to have the restric-
tons laid upon it by Congress Withdrawn
and used for a hospital.
Another plan is to purchase another tract
of land outright and build the hospital
there.
Already they have received proposals
from a number of land owners and these
have all been scheduled on large map,
so that the committees In Congress can
appreciate at a glance their precise loca-
ton.
Building Inspector Brady, in conference
with the health officer, has drawn tentative
plans for hospital which may be used
either upon the ground already purchased
or upon a more pretentious site Ihese
plans briefly show hospital consisting of
an administrative building, around which
are grouped three hospital buildings, each
10 feet apart, and constructed so that they
.nl all No. L,
hospital wards are designed after the most
modern of their kind, and are to be used
for the treatment of scarlet fever and diph-
iberia. These are to be provided with mod
ern appliances. and it is estimated that
such a building can be constructed for
about 10000.
