A suggestion comes from Wtinh-

is to turn Greer county into a reserva-

The views of Swain Tumpletun
and Walsh a majority of tho Capitol
Board us indicated in an article ou
our first page appear to us conclu-
sive in favor of going ahead with tho
capitol as proposed by tho contract-
ors. Tho article shows that there has
been a great deal of misunderstand-
ing as to what they did and did not
contract to do and that they wore
not really proposing to go outside of
tho essential points of tho contract.
The opposition to what thoy propose
seems to us to be actuated by a mere
sontiment which is very ubsurd in a
matter of business of so vast impor-
tance to tho stato. What Texas wants
is a substantial compliance with tho
contract in tho shape of a first-claRH
building j as to where tho material
comosfrom is of infinitely lesa impor-
tance Tho stato of Georgia wo are
told is blost with all manner of fine
stono yet sho has seen fit to contract
to have her new capitol built of Indi-
ana limostone. This is certainly a
demonstration of its superior merits.
Should the contractors of tho Texas
capitol be given a reason or plausible
pretext for tbe abandonment of the
work so that it shall bo thrown back
upon the state it will bo found to bo
anolophant of thohugest proportions
and tho most crushing character on
tho tax payers of tho stato. The de-
votion to a sentiment in producing
such a result would then bo a sub-
ject of execration rather than ap-
plause on tho part of tho pooplo. Let
us have no moro poetry and senti-
ment about Texas stono but lot the
contractors proceed with their work
unless they make somo moro substan-
tial departure from the letter and
spirit of their contract than thoy have
as yot douo.
Tho Stalo Lunatic Asylum at Austin-
Outline of its History and
Present Status.
Having recently mado a hasty visit
to tho older branch of tho Stute Pen-
itentiary at Huntsville and briefly re-
ported tho samo for our columns we
proposo doing a liko servico with re
spect to another state institution
tho Lunatic Asylum at Austin
which we visited on Friday of last
wook.
Going over on the morning train
wo were convoyed from tho depot to
tho institution. En route we had
occasion to notico considerable im-
provements in Austin in that direc-
tion. Wo saw for tho first tinio tho
one wing of tho University building
which is completed tho rest has not
been commenced. Wo passed the
handsomo residenco of tho lato Ben
Thompson which wo notico by tho
papers is offered for salo. Also tho
elegant mansion of Col. Driskill tho
cattle capitalist. By the way during
this visit we also saw tho foundation
of Driskill's new hotel building. It
occupies an entire block tho second
on the left-hand as you cuter East Pe
can street. It will no doubt bo a
grand affair and is a comtncndablo
enterprise characteristic of a public-
spirited citizen. Would thoro were
moro such among our men of wealth.
The Asylum wo wore told is just
opposito tho Fair Grounds and sumo
two-and a-half miles from the city
Ouo would think that two points of
so much interest with the interven-
ing distance rapidly settling up
would warrant the extension of tho
street-cars thus far; but as yet they
only extend a short distance beyond
the University. Somo Col. Driskill
would do himself credit and probably
muke it pay by leading off in this
enterprise.
Sume time before reaching tho
Asylum buildings you enter the large
und beautiful wooded park in which
they are (situated one fact in regird
to which made it peculiarly interest-
ing to us viz. : its beiug set with
grass. Iu tho Northou states and al-
so we presume in the Southern t-t ites
of the Mississippi valley every vacaut
space the grounds about dwellings
the commons in towns the open
woodlauiU in greou with gras ; nnd
Texas shows to great disadvantage ir
this respei t Heneo we were delight
ed with this grassy park tho- first we j
had seen iu the stite The grass we j
were told is a mixture of Bermuda
and lawn grns and shows w hat might j

od with the maniigemont of the Asy-
lum was also for a tinio a readout of
San Marcos but wo did not have the
pleasure of rooet:ng her.on the pres-
ent occasion. Wo however made the
acquaintance of Dr. Giveos tho asso
ciate physician and Mr. Weeks the
steward; tho right-hand men of the
superintendent wo presumo in thoir
respective spheres.
Soon after our arrival Dr. Donton
was so kiud as to start with us on a
survoy of the different buildings and
wards pending which just after din
ner he favored us wit tho perusal of
a manuscript historical sketch of tho
institution which he had juBt pre-
narod at tho request of a daily paper
of Northern Texas giving us pcrmis
sion to use tho facts therein set forth.
So beforo procooding to report what
we saw we will give a synopsis of the
Doctor's MS which will bo found in
teresting in itsolf and will render more
intelligible what we may further have
to say.
Tho Lunatic Asylum was erected
by act of tho legislature of August 28
1850 which took effect in November
f jllowing. Dr. J. C. Perry was the first
superintendent and was appointed by
Gov. Pease. An appropriation of 50-
000 was mado for buildings otc. In
February 1S.18 Chas. G. Renan was
mado superintendent by Gov. Run-
nels in placo of Perry who brought
6uit against Renan for possession
which reached tho supremo court
and was decided in favor of Renan.
(2G Tex. Rep.) Two years lator Dr.
B. Graham was mado superintendent
bv Gov. Sara Houston but in a little
over a year wos removed by Gov. Ed.
Clark and Dr. Kenan again came in.
This change was owing to Houston's
own removal just prior to tho seces
sion of the stato. Tho old buildings
(without tho wings) were about this
time completed and were formally
opened for paticut3 March 11 18G1
during tho administration of Dr. Re
nan who was superseded November
(5 by Dr. Steiner. From tho open
ing of the institution to 1801 there
woro but 35 occupants 27 males aud
8 females. Prior to 'H there were
never as many as 100 patients. Dr.
Stonier presided from Nov. '61 to
Sept. '05 when Dr. Graham again
came in by appointment of A. J.
Hamilton military governor. Gra-
ham held till August '00 when Dr.
Boal succeeded by appointment of
Gov. Throckmorton. Dr. Graham
was again appointed in '07 by Gov.
Pease. Dr. James Cooly was next
appointed by Gov. Davis who in '71
appointed Dr. Weisbaugh who was
succeeded by Dr. Wallace appointed
by Gov. Coke. Dr. Wallace hold till
'79. What is known as the North
Building having a capacity of G5 oc-
cupants and tho "Pavilion" accom-
modating 40 were erected about this
time. The latter was destroyed by
firo in 1881 and " Rocreation Hall "
built iu its place. During Wallace's
administration the number of patients
increased from less than 100 to about
300. Dr. Landers was put in charge
in '70 by Gov. Roberts Dr. T. J. Gra-
ham in '81 by tho same who held to
Jan. '83 when Dr. Denton the pres-
ent superintendent camo in with
Gov. Ireland and was recently ro-ap-pointed
by the Board of Managers.
It will thus bo seen that there havo
been fourteen distinct administra-
tions of tho Asylum during the 2G
years of its existence certainly a bad
stato of affairs for the success of such
institutions and one which is discoun-
tenanced in thoso slates where they
have been most satisfactory. The ad-
ministration of such institutions
should be divorced from political con-
siderations and fitness and efficiency
govern in the appointment of their
managers. It is but simple justice to
Dr. Denton to say that although he
came iu according to tho old rule he
has proved himself pre-eminently the
man for tho place. His nr.turally
grave nnd eamest temperament it
seemed to us has been intensified by
a sense of his present responsibilities.
While evidently ambitious to excel he
manifestly feels a deep interest in the
welfare of the poor unfortunates un
der his charge. Although so thoro'
a Southerner he has Wen ready
to profit by the "Yankee notions"
which have been found valuable in
similar institutions at the North. He
lias made two extensive tours of in-
spection in that direction and the ef-
fivts arc vis.blc in tho many improve-
ment in the buildings and methods
of treatment of tin inmates which he

has increased from 350 to CC0. More
than 200 acres hare boon added to
the grounds by purchase; and 87 acres
added to the number formerly in cul
tivation ranking about 120 acres in
all besides pasture land. Abundant
forage is raised tor all animals in use.
All products of tlie farm this year are
largely in excess of any formor year.
The peach orchard it is estimated
will turn out 1000 bushols of peaches.
The grounds in front and rear of the
buildings havo been re-graded re-
modeled and otherwise improved.
Now drives have been laid out thro'
the park the Asylum supplied with
steam heating-apparatus gas wator
etc. A now wing has boen added to
the west end of the old building. The
old grave-yard which was located in
front has boen removed to tho rear.
Many important changos and improve-
ments made in the keeping of the in-
mates also in internal manage-
ment practical abolition of mechan
ical restraints except to prevent self-
injury or injury to others. Many
other minor improvements have been
made or are in progress. For some
time a complete renovation and par-
tial reconstruction of the older build
ings has been going on. The old
broken plastering is being replaced
by new in the best style with new
and improved internal arrangements
of all kinds. The old wooden stair
ways are being replaced by iron ones
both for security against fire and bet-
ter appearance. It is a herculean
work but is steadily going on to suc
cessful completion.
In short while we were awaro that
tho superintendent is possessed of
moro than att ordinary degree of on-
ergy and executive ability we confess
we were surprised at the amount of
work he has accomplished in so Bhort
a time.
Now in conclusion we will hastily
jot down some our further personal
observations. First we will say that
the institution has a system of water-
works of its own. Water is pumped
by steam-power from several unfail-
ing wells into a large elevated tank
and thence distributed throughout
the buildings and immediate sur-
roundings. By this means every part
of the buildings is supplied with hot
and cold water for domestic purposes
of all kinds a good deal after tho
style of good modern hotels which of
course conduces to all possible clean-
liness which is consummated by a
sewer leading into the Colorado. The
cooking washing etc. are done prin-
cipally by steam-power supplemented
bv machinery.
"We passed first through tho new
buildinsrs. which are occupied by the
female patients who number about
250. The floors are oiled tho rooms
well ventilated and comfortably fur-
nished. Each ward has one or more
attendants a dining-room well sup-
plied with good wholesome food in-
cluding fresh fruits a bath-room eto.
The natients of course manifested all
the various phases of human nature
in like conditions. Ihey all ap-
peared to be glad to see tho super-
intendent who mingled kindness with
firmness towards them. A daughter
of Col. Fannin who fell at Goliad
and another of the late Chief Justice
Wheeler were among the number.
Both have been there about 20 years.
Tho latter was once a society belle of
Austin now all her mind is gone. In
the male department is C. R. Smith
who was a member of the constitu
tional convention of 1809-70 and
otherwise variously distinguished.
Tho mala department we found in
some confusion owinc to the improve
ments in progress but it will soon be
fitted up in a style equal to tne ie-
malo. There are about 60 negro patients.
malo and female who are as well fed
and cared for as the rest
It is thought best for those pa-
tients who aro physically and men-
tally competent to employ them in
somo sort of labor ; and those who
are competent for it are allowed daily
recreation in the park a most enjoy-
able and beneficial privilege for these
poor people. They seldom or never
make ony effort to escape.
Dr. Denton expressed his regret at
one great lack inside the buildings
viz. : the want of billiard tables and
other similar facilities for the amuse-
ment of the inmates. At present
while in the building many of them
have nothing whatever to interest
them a Btate of things which would
wear on the minds even of the sane.
We heard also with surprise and re-
gret that there is no library whatever
for the use of the patients. We trust
the legislature will takt prompt steps
to supply both these important and
urgent neods of the institution.
Among the improvements we have
not noticed are a greenhouse in front
of the mansion in charge of a patient
from Soguin ; and a large fountiin in
course of construction which will be
a delightful addition to the jiremiscs.
The superintendent b of course
an extensive correspondence respect-
ing the r irioua patients etc. He in-
dicates bv t-ndotscinent on each lot-
i tor a Miit.ib!e reply and turns it over
to Mr. A if la for answer. IWore

departure rejoicing that in this de-
partment of enterprise so honorable
to humanity our great state is keep-
ing pace with her wonderful advance
in material and educational progress.

Rev. Dr. McAnally the votcran ed

reasons he gives appear to us conclu-
sive in favor of his position.
The Huntsville Item copies pretty
much in full our article concerning
that placo but makes one correction
as follows :
In brother Julian's notes on our
city copied in another column wo
find he erred in saying Gen. Houston
died at his original residence here.

familiarly known as "The Old Steam

FROM ST. LOUIS.
From our Kegular Correspondent.
St. Louis July 10 1885.
Ed. Free Press : Tho weather
here is intensely hot The courts are
closing for the summer and lawyers
are clearing their dockets for rest and
vacation Many of our citizens are
packing their "duds" for the many
resorts. Gen. Beauregard was in the
city this week. Your correspondent
had a pleasant chat over a glass of
lemonade with the old warrior at
Urig's Cave on Monday evening.
Urig's Cave is a fashionable summer
gai;den whore the popular operas of
tho day are produced of nights.
The steamboat-excursion craze is at
white heat here now. From four to
six large boats leave the city whnrf
evfery afternoon crowded with the
youth of the city. The sporting fra-
ternity is largely represented and ev-
ery excess that wine and beer music
dancing and roller skating can pro-
duce is indulged in by both sexes ir-
respective of social distinction or pre-
tensions. Every boat has a rink and
a bar ou board. The steamer is never
allowed to return to port till the last
keg of beer is emptied and every ex-
cursionist is correspondingly full.
The city is dull. The theatres are
closed ond so are the fashionable
churches and business languishes.
