The Gulf Coast Disaster.

GALVESTON, Tex, Oct. ia speCla,

steamer Lamar returned there last even
ing from Sabine Pass with sixty addi-
tional sufferers, one-half of whom will
go to Beaumontas soon as transportation
can be obtained The balance will re-
main here in care of the local relief COM
mittees. Ten additional bodies havo
been found and were buried up to the
time that the Lamar left Sabine at noon
Yesterday. The relief committees of
Orange have exhausted all their supplies
and funds. The sufferers are constantly
coming in. The relief committees have
$50 now in charge, and $50 more We're
expected in last night from Johnson's
BAYOU, the Emily P. having gone for
them yesterday morning. Such is the
situation in Orange up to the present
writing, and unless more relief comes
Immediately great distress will prevail.
MANY of the sufferers are sick and re-
uuire the greatest attention. The ciu
zens of Orange are doing
all i'm their power to alleviate
their distress, but the demands are
greater than they can bear. The relief
committees were notified yesterday that
81 900 had been donated by Houston,
which is all the aid that has been re-
ceived outside of our own town. Par
ties returning from the coast report
much thievery going on.

Suppose every farmer concluded that
every other farmers hogs were afflicted
with contagious disease, what would
he do first to prevent his own from
catching the contagion? viii the reader
stop Just there before reading further,
and ask himself that question and an
swer it? It can be answered; it must be
both answered and acted upon sooner or
later if we would save our stock from
disease and death. We have talked and
talked; VIC have written and rewritten;
we have doctored and dosed; we have
tried this man s remedy, and that man s,
too, and our own into the bargain, what
has it all amounted to? We have hog
cholera vet; we have much and more of
it, and the longer it exists the more we
have of it. Have we acted the part of
sensible and intelligent men, or the part
of a lot of automatons, knowing moth
ing and acting only as pieces OF ma
chinery? We have no hesitancy in say
ING that in the vast majority of cases we
have done nothing but dose and pretend
to doctor much as an autonlaton would
do its work, and that in q very large
percentage of other cases we have done
but little better than automatons.
Our talking and writing, our dosing
and doctoring have all been futile; time
and labor and money all thrown away
and we are getting deeper into the mire
every month and losing more every
year Why? Because we do not, will
not take an intelligent view of the stua-
ton and act upon it. This is as the
world goes; men growl and complain;
they talk among themselves; they de-
bate this matter and that, and it ends in
talk.
If man knew that Asiatic cholera
was prevalent in his neighborhood and
he wished to save his family from the
contag.on and was determined to do so
if possible, what would he doP He
would take that family away to where
the contagion could not reach them.
