GALVESTON, September 29-The
Austin Daily Statesman ediiWially
says the absurd extravaganza Of the
stories teleguphed abroad from Hons
ton, as to the extent of the deuiment
done that city and Galveston hy the
recent tempests, should be punished
The dispatches were male to tell us,
and Houston newspapers published
these statements, that the LOSSES sus-
tanned in that city amounted to$l 900, :
600, while Galveston's calamity was
estimated at $5,O00,0O0
New York aud Boston papers repro
duced these absurdities, aud on these
base their appeals to Northern people
for money 10 be sent hitler When
they find out that some reckless news
gatherer for reckless newspapers sent
over the world Il batch of lies, Texas
will find itself placed by this one adj
venturer in the position of the lying
wretch who cried "wolP when there
was no wolf
When our coast may be stricken
with desolation, or crops fail, or an
other tempest sweep down from the
mountains to the sea, there will be
none to believe, to pity or to give.
The loss and greater part of suffering
falls on the farmers in the wide dis
trict swept over by the storm. While
great numbess were drowned along the
coast and houses swept out TO
sea, the greatest loss of prop
erJy occurred on the cotton
and sugar estates. Corn ungathered
was thrown down in the burrows, open
cotton bolls We're stripped Of the silken
wealth and sugar cane rots where 1t
fell. The planter is impoverished, the
laborer starves. Villages along the
coast were desolated and their inhab-
itants drowned, hut the woes of count
less, helpless negroes IN cabins on
plantations are forgotten, White Tie
telegraph tlaunts indecent eXaggera-
tons of the woes of two cities, that
have lost comparatively nothing, he
fore the eyes of plying world
The managers Of the Texas Press
Association, whoever he may be,
should punish with remorseless fierce
ness, the senseless eXaggeration or
the calamity that belell Houston and
Galveston.
