Hot Springs, Ark, Visited by O Terrible
Storm Which Leaves Destruction and
Death in its Path.
Hot SPRINGS, Ark. Sept Ruin and
wreck meet the vision everywhere and
nothing has been known to compare with
the results of Thursday nights storm,
which occurred too late to be telegraphed.
Without warning people were awakened
from slumber to find themselves threat
ened with destruction by the mad wave,
but strange to relate people were uncon-
scious of the disaster until they awoke to
look upon the desolate scenes next morn
ing and dragged the drowned from the
drifts.
The storm struck the town about eleven
O'Clock from a northwesterly direction. 1t
was accompanied by stiff, cool winds
though not strong enough to produce
damage. The rain fell in torrents from
eleven to one O'Clock without intermission.
At the close of the storm great and om-
inous sounds, mingled with the shouts Of
people and cries of distress went up from
the valley, and such citizens as were in
the vicinity of the creek and ravines went
forth to render assistance.
The food on Central avenue, the prin-
cipal thoroughfare, was like an angry
river, whose rushing tide swept every
thing movable on its bosom.
Up to last night six persons are known
to be missing, ave of whom have been
found in the wrecked buildings. The
damage to property is estimated at

DENVER, Col, Aug. 31.-The committee
on resolutions of the Dsepwater conven-
ton was in session until 10:8O O'Clock yes
terday, when Governor Thayer called the
convention to order. After some routine
work a resolution was adopted that after
the final adjournment OF this convention 1t
may be called together by majority Of
the vice-presIdents giving thirty days no.
tice, and that when the convention next
meets 1t shall be at Topeka, Kan. The
committee on resolutions being called for,
Judge Hancock, of Texas, read the jor-
ity report which demanded the establish
ment Of one deep water harbor on the
northwest coast of the Gulf Of Mexico;
that all the Senators and Representatives
and delegates to Congress be requested to
procure the necessary appropriations to
complete the work; and that a committee
from each State and Territory be appoint
ed to visit Washington and assist In secur-
ing the passage of the necessary laws, and
requesting the President to recommend
this in the next message to Congress.
Senator Houston, of Texas, presented the
minority report, whC. in substance urged
Congress to appoint board Of engineers
to locate a harbor at the most suitable
point and the adoption of all necessary
means to secure appropriations and COM
plete the work. The report indorsed the
efforts Of the private enterprise to secure
deep water on the Texas coast and
pledged its influence to induce the Gov
ernment to reimburse the persons engaged
In the enterprise. 1t further approved
the idea of securing deep water at Aran-
sas Pass by private capital, and asked
Congress for protection in the prosecution
of the work, and to reimburse the citizens
engaged in it.
Ex-Governor Gibbs, Of Texas, intro
duced a resolution, which he moved should
be adopted as a substitute for both. After
a short preamble 1t urges upCu Congress
the necessity of deep water harbors, one
on the east and one on the west coast OF
the Gulf, and asks Congress to locate both
and make the necessary appropriations foI
their speedy completion
All were earnestly supported by the gen.
tlemen introducing them. The merits OF
each grew so warm that it ran into per.
sonalities and for few minutes it seemed
as though the convention would break VI
in a row. Governor Thayer finally Sc
cured order and the convention took re.
cess until six O'Clock.

These facts prove not wealth, but poverty;
not prosperity, but adversely. Do they not
warrant the words OF Mr.. Burrows, president
OF the National rarmes' Alliance, who says:
81 regret as much as any man living the
poverty and dependence OF farmers which ex-
lists at this day to an alarming extent, though
denied by some"
Why does this distress exist among the farm
ers of the WestS Natural causes have played
a part, but the chief and most effective cause
is artificial, and consists in tho onerous, un-
fair and dishonest taxes laid upon our agrt-
cultors, not only for the support Of the Gov
ernments, but to transfer the gains that some
men have toiled for TO others who have not
earned them. 1t is because an average tax OF
90 per cent is LEVIED upon all the cotton goods
that they buy IN order that wealth and pros
perity may exist among the owners OF cotton
mills in Massachusetts, and an average OF Il
per cent is collected from them on all the nee
essaries and comforts they buy In order to give
extra gains to those engaged in manufactur-
ing Industries. 1t 10 because they are I'M
poverished in order that other classes may be
enriched; because they are preyed upon oy the
monopolies, and by the Infamous trusts and
dishonest combines VIII ch have been recently

From the statistics we are able to obtain it
