--=.sxs--IsE nas oeen recommended
as a means Of relief from sorrow by q
writer, who mentions a woman whose
sorrows seemed piled mountain high
through the loss by death within a few
mouths of her husband and child and
Of property as well. Trained to no
work as a girl she seemed helpless.
But her little garden demanded atten-
tion and her very losses compelled
her to work with her hands. Here,
too, the soothing balm of pure air, ex-
ercise and occupation worked its mar
yels in recovering health, contentment
and a spirit of self-helpfulness.

George A. Chace, at the head of the
Bovine cotton mills, at Fall River, Mass,
has announced that after July the
mills will become profit sharing estab-
lishment. Not less than six per cent. of
the cash dividends of the concern will be
divided among the employees on or before
February, 1890. The plan will be tried
as an experiment during six months.
The management wish to see what effect
the arrangement will have on the guam
tity and quality Of work turned out,
also on the general carefulness and con-
duct of the employees.

TERSE TELEGRAMS.

One of the dams leased by the South
Side club at Oakdale, L. T., overfowed
its banks Thursday night and flooded the
main road to considerable depth.
Travel was stopped on the road Friday,
but the water has receded.
The report of the board of railroad as

assessed value of all railroad property to
be So, ,448, ,123.3S.
Washington has almost entirely re-
covered from the floods, and mails are

G. M. .Seibert, secretary of the Ameri-
can legation to Chilli, writes that he is
constantly receiving letters from railroad
men of every sort, asking what are the
chances of getting remunerative en-
ployment in Chill. It is well known
that an American syndicate is building
700 miles of road for the Chilian govern
ment, but natives of the country are
given the preference and the supply is in
excess of the demand. Mr.. Seibert eau

they have definite engagements before

An extra session of the Fifty-first con-
sgress, to meet in October, is prophesied.
The Republican and Democratic parties
are so evenly balanced that there will be
hot fight in the organization of the
house. The present official majority, ac-
cording to election certificates issued, Is
only three. The four new states will hold
elections in October. This will bring In
five new members. The Republicans ex-
pect to elect all these, but the Democrats
are also confident of securing the men-
Der from Montana, which went Demo
cratic in the recent election there.
The next house will contain 325 men,
bers, including those from the new states.
If the Republicans elect all five of the
new members the party will have ma
jority of only eight. Death or accident
can easily cut off one or more members Of
either party, even now, before the meet
ing of the house.
There is so much able material for the
speakership that this promises to be a
W cCtt1Ss 4llS1O w l4A O0 q
fierce fight over the rules, hinging on
the question of how much power the
minority party shall have to obstruct
legislation, filibustering, as it is called.
Each new house of representatives makes
its own rules. The minority party has
had wide latitude to filibuster in the last
two congresses. The Republicans will
endeavor to change this. They say that
five changes in the rules that governed
the Fiftieth congress will accomplish it.
On the other hand the Democrats will
oppose these changes with all the force
and persistence at their command. So
that even if the session is called in Oc-
tober, it will merely give opportunity for
the house to get q good ready for Decem-
Der. However the country at large may
view it, the contest will be watched with
profound interest by parliamentarians
all over the world. It will certainly be
a pretty fight. A Democratic senator
says:
think that parliamentary struggle such as
We have seldom Witnessed will begin the moment
almost that the house comes together. II we
begin in October, we are pretty certain to be In
continuous session until August again. It will be
a congress Of partisan bitterness from the start.

Carnegie on Wealth.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie's paper in The
North American Review on the true
Gospel of Wealth is interesting as being
the mature judgment Of self made mill
ionaire. In our present civilization there
are and must be rich and poor. This is
the basis of his proposition. Mr.. Carne-
gle even says it is best that it should
be so.
But the most interesting part of his
paper is that in which he speaks of the
disposition rich man should make of
his wealth. It is mere vulgarity and os-
tentation to leave immense estates to
children and heirs. The rich man should
provide sufficient incomes for the women
of his family to live. well. He should
also leave very moderate incomes in
deed to his sons, only enough to keep
them from want, for the Inheritance of
immense wealth is curse to young men.
After thus providing for those depend
ent on him, the much moneyed man
should devote, during his lifetime, the
rest of his wealth to the good of COM
munity. He is trustee for the poor,
and must, if truly civilized, look on him
self in that light. He is strictly bound
in duty to administer his surplus reve-
nues in the manner which, in his judg-
ment, is best calculated to produce the
most beneficial results for the commu-
nifty.
AS instances of surplus wealth nobly
applied, Mr.. Carnegie names Cooper in
stitute in New York and the free FIVE
million Tilden library that is to be, per-
haps. If the millionaire does not thus
do good with his wealth in his lifetime,
his estate should be heavily taxed by
death rates, after he has loosed his hold
upon it, the tax to be spent for the good
Of community.

The Fury of the Waters.

By the bursting of the South Fork
dam at Johnstown, Pa, from $4,000 to
$4,000 lives were lost and Ss5, 5,000,0
worth of property destroyed. Corpses
foated down the Ohio river past Pitts
burg. seventy-eight miles west of Johns
town. The losses in New York, Penn
sylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia from the great rainfall and
flood will not fall short of $4,000, 900.
The Johnstown calamity was the direst
disaster by flood that has ever overtaken
an English speaking people. =
Fifteen years ago the dam at Mill
River, Mass, burst, causing terrible ruin
and loss of life. In China, for centuries,
the banks of the low lying Yellow river
have been damned and diked up, as is
done at present with the Southern Mis-
sissippi. Higher and higher above the
heads of the people the levees were built,
until two years ago, 1887, the mighty
water rose in its strength, burst the
bonds which held it as though they had
been paper and destroyed half a million
people. ..a
Within a year two other artificial reser-
voirs, similar to that at Johnstown, have
broken their banks and caused wide ruin
and loss of life. The first was at Montreux,
Switzerland, the second in South Amer
lea. There was one feature common to
all three of these dam disasters. The
embankments were known to be unsafe.
Repeated warnings had been given,
which were needed neither by the hap
less souls who dwelt in the path of de-
struction, nor by those whose duty itwas
to see that the works were secure. In
any case mans puny strength can never
measure itself against the nature forces.
Sooner or later, be his achievement what
it will, they rise and overwhelm him.
Hereafter men should think twice before
damming up great reservoirs upon hills
above towns and cities. e e>s
There remains to be recalled the awful
devastation of the waters in the Straits
of Sunda, in the volcanic eruption Of
Krakatoa in the summer of 1888. Fol-
lowing that eruption, tidal waves forty
feet high swept the shores of the straits
and islands. Forty thousand persons
were drowned by these waves. Vast
ruin by flood has come upon different
parts of the earth in the pastseven years.
In 1888 and 'S4 in America happened
the fearful successive floods in the Ohio
valley. In the spring of 1889 occurred
the breaking of the levees and the over
flow of the Mississippi, bringing terrible
destruction, sickness and loss Of life.
At jackson, Miss, the river was at one
time sixty miles wide. Itwould be In
teresting to know what peculiar atnos-
pheric or planetary disturbance has been
behind it ALL
The strangest feature of all in connec-
ton with the floods and ruin in the
United States is that the storm which
wrecked Johnstown seems to have gone
around the world. Within day or two
after our great storm, a hurricane and
water spout caused great destruction
and death at Reichenbach, Germany.
The same day there came from the
other side of the world news that 10, 900
lives had been lost in hurricane at
Hong Kong.

| Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, Sept. 25.-The Galveston
! deep water delegates are actively making pre-
partitions 10 start for Topeka next Saturday.
They seem enthusiastic with regard to the sue
cess of the city securing the prize, as they
claim that they viii have the active
support of the Colorado and Kansas dele
cations, beside a decided majority of the
delegates from Texas who viii favor Galveston
as the most available point on the Texas coast
for deep water port. Galveston has done ga
heap of PROSECUTING the quiet, and will
make q desperate effort to secure the indorse-
ment of the Topeka convention as being the only
point where it is practical to obtain deep water
on the Texas coast and where all future appro-
priations for that purpose should be concen-
trated.
In the name Of Texas, and in behalf of
this and other states, THE GAZETTE
protests against any such action at
Topeka, and if Galveston, aided by the
Santa Fe roads local influence at To-
peka, shall accomplish its purpose the
people and the congressional delegation
of Texas Will not feel bound by it.
Texas wants deep water and its wants
the harbor where it can soonest
be had for the least money. Gov
eminent engineers have been ap-
pointed to survey the coast line; they
have performed their duty, and their re-
port will be made to congress. In adj
vance of that report Texas wants no
monkeying with public opinion. If the
engineers report in favor of Galveston
the congressional delegation of this state
will doubtless unite in advocating action
thereon, but until that report is made it
shows a wanton disregard Of the states
interests to attempt to forestau and di-
vide public opinion.
The Galveston idea is: Galveston or
nothing The Texas idea is: coal
weston or something - This state asks
the general government to invest
its money where it can SOON
est and most oheaply secure the de-
sired object. It is unreasonable to sup
pose the government will be willing to
spend $40, 900, OCO for deep water
harbor on the Texas coast when one
half or one third that amount will secure
1t at some point not recommended by the
Topeka convention. Colorado and Kan
sas have an interest in this matter with
Texas, and if those states JON in the
"Galveston or nothing movement of
Galveston and the Santa Fe road, they
will only cripple the effort of men in this
state who are honestly working for deep
at which it may be soonest secured.
