A Scene o. .Desolation.
Ten Persons Killed ana MANY
Wounded.

At four O'Clock Tuesday evening a
hurricane passed over Brownsville.
leaving death and desolation in itstrack.
The storm was preceded and followed
by q few minutes of rain. There was
an ominous looking cloud seen in the
southwest for o few moments. Just
enough to give nervous people time to
become alarmed, aud then the storm
burst in fury upon the town.
The first serious damage was the
Christian church. a good frame 1t is
careened to the southeast, and will have
to come down. A light frame just west
was not hurt. and another light frame
on the east only lost a chimney. South
on Bridge street. there is ONE slight
damage; while on the southeast corner
OF Bridge and MAN streets seems to be
the place where the storm first took a
good hold. This was a solid block oftwo-
story brick buildings up to the Central
Hotel, which was three stories high.
The store on the southwest corner was
demolished; the one next, on the
east is nearly destroyed; the third has
the south half of the upper story gone;
the mex two are not much hurt; the
Central Hotel Is slightly damaged about
the root, and all the small buildings
east of that, on the south side of the
street. are u%nfnjured. On the north side,
of Main street, opposite the mouth OF
Bridge street, . couple Of good houses
are down, while, q lew feet east OF them
are q couple of frame shanties uninjured.
Spring street runs from the depot to the
Central Hotel. On the west side of this
street every house except the two sham
ties mentioned, has either been O to
pieces or is so badly wrecked as to be
nearly useless. On the east side OF
Spring street, opposite the Central
Hotel is a couple of light frames next
to them, on the north. . house has gone;
then comes u light frame, with only q
chimney gone tken a good frame has
entirely disappeared. In this last build
ing was q large iron safe, which was
carried about 40 feet northeast into the
lumber yard. The lumber yard Oh the
north Is considerably damaged, the piles
being blown down, and q great deal of
lumber blown entirely away.

Lexington Avenue, running east and
west. On the southwest corner Is the
neat residence OF DR.. West. badly in
jqred. On beth sides OF Lexington
Avenue. from Spring street to Miller
street, were solid blocks of brick bust
ness houses. There is now only one
room in the whole two blocks that is
it for business. this being the furniture
room opposite the City Hotel. All the
rest are terribly wrecked, and most OF
them beng merely q pile Of brick and
mortar. Here IS where the most lives
we're lost. East OF the City Hotel was
a drug store where several dead bodies
were found, and there is ne telling but
that three or four more are buried in
some OF the stores ear by. As soon as
the storm spent its fury the citizens
went to work to save the wounded and
secure the bodies of the dead. Gangs
oil willing men worked all Tuesday night
and all day Wednesday. The following

scarcely anything to mark where it
stood. About $50 yards southeast of
the corner OF Miller street and Lexing-
ton Avenue stood the public school, a
two story brick. Mr.. Williams. he
principal, saw the storm coming,
and dismissed school, warning the chill
dren to hasten home before they got
wet. This caution saved the lives OF 1875
childen, for ten minutes later the house
was a wreck, the root and walls falling
on the second floor, and breaking
through the south half Of tho upper
floor, half filled the lower story with
brick. On the corner of Main and

shop, frame; east OF that a small brick
house. They are both wrecked. A neat

Mr.. Maybright and his wife and baby

CONSIDERABLE favorable COM
ment is now being made on the
proposition to add two or three
more departments or secretary
ships to the cabinet. 'Tis a good
idea; the present secretaries are
overworked. The secretary of
the interior, for instance, has a
vast and constantly accommodating
amount of unattended business.
Among other innovations it might
be we'll to institute q department

Free Trade.

PIXLEY, who Is dong Washlng-
ton at present, writing of the
great question soon to become
the leading issue In American pol
itics, says that the question of free
trade is gathering headway and
the protectionists are being put
upon the defensive. He says SIT
is urged that the protective tariff
is working for the benefit of the
rich; that it is the great and
wealthy manufacturers who are
reaping all the benefits of the ex-
isting laws; that the working class
es, laborers, skilled artisans, and
the farmers-in fact, none except
the manufacturers are benefited
by the present tariff laws. The
iron interests and the ship-build-
ers. it is claimed, are making ex-
horbitant profits, while our COM
merce is. suffering. Give us the
opportunity to go into the worlds
market to purchase ships, and we
will soon build up a commercial
marine that will equal that of Eng
land, is the argument of the mer-
chants. Allow us to 60 into the
worlds market for iron, say the
railroad men, and the result will
be less cos ly railways, and, as a
consequence, a reduction in freights
and fares. We have no protec-
ton for our agricultural products
say the farme S, and we need none.
Give US free goods in return for
those products. Everything is
protected except labor, say the
working-men. There is an unre-
stricted immigration allowed from
Europe and from Asia. There is
no tariff on bone, and sinew, and
muscle. Protection, they say, is
for capital only. Our wages for
skilled labor are not greater thar
in England, or Belgium, or France
The manufactured goods of those
countries can not enter our ports
without paying enormous duties
while the men who manufactur,
them are permitted and encour
aged to come to this country ant
enter into free competition witt
us in the very factories in which
we labor"
One very plain evidence of tn
destructive character of "protec
ton" is exemplified in the fact tina
in the one instance of the Centra
and Southern Pacific Railroa,
company, that corporation has pai'
for steel and iron eleven million
of dollars more than they woult
have paid had there been no pro
tective tariff. Thus in that on
item, is shown how the Paci6
coast has to help enrich the Penn
sylvania iron mill owner withou
any corresponding benefit. Blu
our protectionist friend when b
reads this will say, "Oh, well, the.
might as well have it as the Cali
fornia monopolists." Not so. Tw
wrongs never balance each othe
and in the present form of GU
protection laws it is only the ol
story of monopoly over again.
danger ever does come that tn
diversified interests of our countr
demand disunion, one of tn
strongest arguments will be sue
facts as we quote. The remov'
of the present injustice would lu
any murmur of such a nature.
