The Texas storm.

ST. LOUIS, September l3.- AdvICes
from Houston, Texas, up to n late hour
asst evening say that the wind veer"d
TO the north about sundowu and the
water Vt Galveston began to rccede. A.
5 o'clock the rain ceased, the scud Ittc.
and Galveston was visible from across
the bay. The shipping seemed to be safe
and no evidences OF damage were o5.
servable. The storm extended all along
the Texas coast. Lynchburg, on San
Jacinto bay, was partly submerged bv
the back water. Trains were expected
t. enter Galveston tbi, morning.
GALvEsToN, September ls.-A very
severe wind and rain storm visited I'll"
entire coast yesterday. At this place
RAIN ana high winds prevailed all day
Sunday, increasing in severity from
o'clock Monday morning till noon g.;
that day. TIE wind blew st rate OF
50 miles AN hour, and rain fell in tor
rents. The water in Galveston raised in
some places t. level with the wharves,
and the lower and more exposed por.
tions were under water for two or three
hours. About noon the wind moderated
and the water began falling before night.
The ky WAS clear, with strong cola
north wind blowing. Very little dam
age was done in the city. The railroad
bridge across the bay Is badly damaged,
and 1t will be several days before trans
viii be run regularly,

MARROW GAUGE RAILWAYS.

1t is very gratifying 10 us 10 notice 20
much interest manifested in many sec
tious of this State in the construction Of
short lines of narrow guage railways.
A road OF this description can be con-
s.ructed quite as cheap'y MS good turn
pike, and when done 1t is worth many
times rs much. We believe it has been
estimated that it costs twenty cents
mile TO move ton o..
freight by wagon, while it c's,s
but one cent to move it by rail. Over
long distances and easy grades, 1t Is pos
sibe that it would scarcely cost that
much on q narrow gusge, because the
amount of capital required in It's con-
structlon and the comparatively small
cost of operating it do not require 1t 10
make large earnings. 1t is further esti-
mated that every mile Of new railroad,
built through comparatively unde-
veloped country, adds one hundred
thousand dollars to the value of the
country through which it runs.
People who are discussing the question
of investing in the building OF lines
of railway through or near their own
property, and who have any doubts "s t"
whether they will afterwards be satisfied
with the investment, need on.y TO consult
those who live IN the vicinity OF rail
road now in operation. Ask one OF them
nom much he would take and consent to
have the railroad torn up and abolished
and he be compelled to 60 back 10 the
wagon and the mud road for all kinds O
transportation and travel. II he Is not Il
tool he will tell you that he would not
take the price OF half his farm and con-
sent 10 be thus set back hundred years

proceeds of the establishment before the
proprietor received his.
We shall watch this Virginia expert
ment with good deal of interest. If it
shall yield the amount of revenue that
many think it will, and if 1t shall work
as satisfactorily as it now bids fair to do,
it will be worthy the examination of the
lawmakers of other States. 1t looks
like most equitable manner OF levying
a tax upon this branch of busness-more
go than is presented by the license tax:
The saloonist is taxed simply upon what
he does, as u property owner is taxed on
wha. he owns. II business is dull
with him and his. sales are light,
his tax Is light; If his
business is prosperous aud his Golfers are
well filled, he can afford to pay tax ac-
cordlngly especially as We have seen
that the tax comes out of the pocket OF
the consumers and not of the dealer.
As we are told that an extra session OF
the Legislature OF this State is to be held
this winter, Notwithstanding the treasu-
ry is empty, it may be well for the pro-
moters OF that scheme to examine into
the workings OF the Virginia be.l-punch
liquor law in order to find some means of
getting Their mileage and per diem.
