tsinly provo menace 10 the future. Peo-
pie will argue that II has happened
once and IL likely TO happen again. There
can be no doubt that these disasters
OF wind and wave have absolutely ruined
more than one formerly promising town
on the Texas coast, az witness Velasco,
Port Layaca and Indianoa. And there
Is no doubt that Galveston, with all It's
wealth, population and prestige, has
been greatly damagcd from the same
cause. There are thousands Of people,
representing nm immense amount Of CAPT
tai, nov residents Of this or that town
ia Interior Texas, who would be living 10
Galveston to.day, owning property and
doing business there, but for the appte.
hension Of lnsecuri for life aud property
cngcndored by the terrific storms that
sweep the islard from time to time,
bringing the sea right into the streets Of
the city. Enjoying immunity from such
vIsitatious In the past, Sabine Pass, with
It's natural and to-be created advantages,
was looming up, as we have said, as a
prospective deep.water city There will
now, Inevitably, be the same sentiment OF
apprehension for Sabine that exists IN tho
case OF Galveston, and which has made
Indanoa and other coast towns waste
places, mere memories OF their
former selves. These suggestions
may be regarded in some quarters
as pesslmistlc, and TIE GAZETTE will
indeed be glad II they shall prove So We
fear, however, that II will DO many years
before the ambitious and promising little
town can regain even measure Of the
prestige and confidence II enjoyed before
the great calamity came upon IL. Our
entire Texas coast line, owing TO the con-
formation OF the land Immediately 0d-
iacent to the sea front, il unfortunate In
this respect Corpus Christi and Rock
port are the only ports that have escaped
these frlghiful foundations, so destructive
TO life and property, and even at those
towns there have baen scenes Of danger
and destruction that would prove very
detrimental to the growth and prosperity
Of the more advantageously located towns
on the Eastern Atlantic seaboard were
such scenes TO occur there.
