NOTSO BAD AS PAINTED

The floods Throughout the state within
the past few days have been unusually
severe and distressingly disastrous, but
IL is possible that the calculated des-
Effectiveness is considerably exaggera-
ted. Our farmers and planters, unior-
tunately, are in the habit of taking the
gloomiest possible view of tho situation
and insisting that crops are to be de-
stroyed and the country so to rack. No
matter what the promise, this seems to
BIO the old, old story and trade becomes
alarmed.and sluguhriousness, frigh tful
to behold, seizes the public.
This season started in with magnid-
cent promise. The crops were to DO all
that the planter could wish, while
prices were firm and constantly on the
rise. The floods came and the rains
descended and along the river beds and
in the bottoms degree of loss ensued.
Immediately, therefore, tho cry of
alarm takes the tone of the cry of a
panic and general devastation, loss and
destruction are predicted for tho entire
state, This Is manifestly exag-
geration and "bear" movement
on trade generally. When the
real losses are properly and
sIatistically understood, it will be found
AZ has been the case in the past, that
"much ado" has been made about little
and that tho catastrophe is not near as
great as at first stated.
Texas il a mighty state, an empire
within itself, and 1t Is hardly possible
for flood or disaster to become 80 gon,
eral that u universal failure of crops
will onsue. Last year the heavens were
especially unpropitious in thi,
part Of the world. Perhaps the
outpour Of upper waters sur
passed anything this year MAY
witness, and yet the Texas farmer did
not go to the wall. This excellent elias,
Of our state citizenship becomes toe
easily and quickly alarmed. The HER
AID sympathizes most sincerely Will
the poor unfortunates who have gone
down, along our river bottoms, in lii,
or property, in consequence of the re-
cent floods, but IL can see no reason
for the anticipation of general disaster
or consequent retardation OF trade. In
short, The promise after all, and in spit,
of all, for a prosperous year in Texas /,
as good as for many years has been seen
