A Terrible Storm in Texas.

On Friday and SATURDAY. of last week a
tvphoon formed in the Gulf of Mexico. near
Florida Itpassed on up the gulf until off
the coast of Texaswhere it was met by counter
current of wind causing a wall of water at
least 40 feet high. There was another current
from the Mexican side and on Sunday and
Monday the water was forced by the storm in
the rear to the Texas shore cause the destruc-
ton of Port Arthur, and great loss to Sabine
Pass and Sabine City, About 20 persons are
known to have been drowned or killed by the
rushing waters, while the destruction of prep
erty is immense
Nearly every building at Port Arthur was
wrecked. At Sabine all the shipping at both
the new and old towns was destroyed. The
old town was wrecked. Only the large build.
ings in the new town remain standing Dur
ing the storm six feet of water covered the
place.
When the wind struck Sabine it was ac-
companied by rain, which soon made rivers
of the streets. This, together with the high
waves breaking over the banks of the lake,
caused fear that the town was about to be
visited by tidal wave An hour after the
storm the water had all drained off and the
next day the streets were dry.
The rice crop on Taylor Bayou, Texas, was
damaged Sl5O,OO0 by the hurricane Sunday

Very Pertinent.

Some Democrats in Baltimore are dis
pleased because the money question was not
made leading issue in Maryland this year,
and have set up shop for themselves. At a
meeting on Monday night these gentlemen
determined to interrogate candidates for the
Democratic nomination for Mayor as to how
they stand on the free coinage of silver at a
ratio of Is to l.
As the money question, and particularly
the ratio of coinage, is entirely under the
Jurisdiction of the Mayor of Baltimore, it
would seem the interrogatory is very perth
nent(?)
A countryman going to Baltimore, how
ever, would more likely believe some interro-
CATIONS on street improvement would be more
pretinent, particularly if he got on Mt. Royal
avenue and some of those where the road
ways are grass pats.

Row Among Pennsylvania Repub-
licanS.

Governor Hastings, of Pennsylvania, has
precpitated a row in the Republican party in
his state that is likely to result disastrously
to the party. He is going up against Quay
and is candidate for the latter's seat in the
Senate. 1t appears, however, that he is en-
deavoring TO force the nomination of friend
for governor. If Quay does not oppose the
nomination then the Governor may not be a
Senatorial candidate The Governor created
a sensation last week by asking for the resig-
nation of Gen. Frank Reeder, Secretary of
the Commonwealth. Gen. Reeder complied
at once, and his note was as curt as the Gov
ernor's in asking for the resignation. Reeder
is Quay man, and Gov. Hastings, it is said,
proposes to oust every Quay man from his
cabinet
The quarrel seems to be wide and deep,
and unless the fight is stopped shortly the next
Governor of Pennsylvania will very likely be
n Democrat

Agricultural and industrial Unrest


The acts of courts, sustained by the mill
tary arm of the general government, or by the
militia Of the state; the combination OF capital
TO Cypress labor; the corrupting of voters by
corporations and financial Institutions; the
bribery of legislative bodies; the increase in
taxation and the refusal of the political party
now in control of the government to give the
country a stable financial system, are all con-
tributing causes to an immense agricultural
and industrial unrest that will some day break
forth and be a very serious matter.
The right of peaceful assembly, use of the
public highway, and free speech have been
recently denied by Injunction issued by a
federal court in West Virginia and by state
court in Pennsylvania, and the use of the
military to uphold the courts has been re-
sorted to, with considerable loss of life.
Agriculture has been made to pay tribute
to the manufacturers, and great corporations
have crushed out all the small industries once
10 be found in ever town and village. For
thirty years manufacturers have obtained from
Congress high protective duties, ostensbly
that they might pay higher wages to laboF,
but in order to exact excessive profits from
the American consumer. Labor has rarely
ever had voluntary increase in wages, but
have almost annually had to strike against
reductions,
A recent increase upon the tax on coal has
been made, and the great strike OF the miners
now on is declnation by the mine operators
to pay the miners living wages. In order to
get cheap labor thousands upon thousands OF
foreigners we're imported under the alluring
promise of better wages and more comlorta-
bic homes in this country. They were put IN
the places of our own people, and when they
are shot down under the new system Of gov
ernment by injunction they are spoken of as
only ignorant foreigners in the monopolistic
press.
The money changes and manipulators have
the government by the throat the railroads
influence elections by intimidation; the courts
are presided over by attorneys once under
corporation influence; great journals are near
ly all on the side of capital and monopoly and
against the plain people.
When actual conditions and tendencies are
viewed, is it any wonder that the people are
being driven to desperation and becoming
anarchists
The government by injunction" that was
denounced in the last National Democratic
platform, was no imaginary condition. 1t
had been reality then and there has been
more of it recently. The courts have actually
made laws by their Interpretation of others
and their powers extend to declaring null and
void legislative action. In fact there is no
law except that which has been accepted as
constitutional by the courts. The powers of
the Judiciary have always been too liberal,
and this new power of government by injunc-
ton if persisted in will provoke great disor-
der. Matters have been growing worse every
year, and it is well to stop and consider where
the country is drifting.

Americans May be Victims Next.
From the Cumberland Time

From the Cumberland Times.
The New York Sun, the ablest and the
most candid of the organs of the trusts and
plutocrats, administers unlimited praise on
Martin, the sheriff of Luzerne county, Penn
sylvania, under whose auspices upwards of a
score of human beings were ruthlessly sIaugh-
tered few days ago. The event indeed,
must be recorded as great triumph for the
barons. 1t will thrill monopoly with joy, and
will be expected TO strike terror to the hearts
of those who might be disposed to question
the rule of our masters.
The Sun takes observation of the fact that
the victims Of the sheriff s bullets were for
eigners-Hungarians and Poles. Let us re-
mind the Sun and all others whom it may
concern, that the same Winchesters that kill
ed the Hungarians and Poles can kill native
Americans. If resistance to tyranny be met
with death at the hands ofoficial bravos, then
it is safe to say that few Americans are safe.
If Hungarians and Poles are the victims
today, Americans bred in the bone, may be
the victims tomorrow. If American miners
are shot down this week, American statesmen
may be shot down next year.

ST. Louis's Worst Hot Spell.

ST. LOUIS, Missouri, Sept. 13.-For dura-
ton and extremes the present heated spell has
never been equalled in the history of the
Weather Bureau Sunday was the hottest
day in September, the Government thermom
eter registering $50, and this afternoon the
mercury climbed to $40 in the shade. DR.:
Frankenfeld, the local weather observer said
tonight:
''1his hot spell is Unprecedented. This is
the nineteenth consecutive day since the spell
began, on August 26. The mean tempera-
ture for the last twelve days is $40. No Sep
tember has ever equalled this. No twelve
consecutive days in any month ever exceeded
these figures, except in August, 1881, when,
on twelve consecutive days, the mean tenn
perature was so.

The Philadephia. Pa. Ledger says 1t
is reported from Boston that a combination OF
a number of the largest paper mills in the
country will soon be made; from Chicago,
that the largest biscuit mandatory in the
world is about to be established there, and
from Birmingham, Ala, that tract of coal
land covering Is, 600 acres has been purchased
by Northern capitalists, who will proceed at
once to develop the property. All these are
signs of reviving prosperity, but they indicate
tendency of capital to combine on trust lines
which is not gratifying to the observer who
does not believe in trust principles

Strikers Shot.

HAzLETowN, Pa, Sept. 1O.-Twenty strik-
ers were killed, Is were fatally wounded and
forty were more or less injured near this place
today by deputy sheriffs, under command of
Sheriff Martin.
The entire region is wildly excited over
the shooting, and there is every indication
that the deputies will be assaulted by friends
of the dead and wounded.
Hazleton is in a turmoil tonight. The
streets are crowded with citizens of all classes,
and all are talking of what they consider a
terrible outrage An indignation meeting is
being held. There is talk of requesting Gov.
Hastings to order an investigation, and in the
meantime to place the command of the depu-
ties in other hands than those of Sheriff Mar
tin.
The citizens will also ask that the deputy
sheriffs concerned in the affair be discharged
from all authority and disarmed. They say
the local police force is competent to deal
with the strikers if any disturbance occurs.
Later dispatches say that % were killed
and ten of the wounded have since died.
State troops were ordered to Hazelton on
Monday and acted as a guard over the prop
erty.
On Wednesday there was practically no
change in the strike situation in the Hazleton
district. 1t Is SAID that the coal operators are
willing to enter into an agreement as to a
uniform wage scale, but no steps in that dl-
rection have been taken. On the other hand,
there is said to be lack of leadership among
the men.
General Goblin transferred the Fourth Reg.
iment from Audenried to Drifton, where two
of the Coke collieries are in operation.
There were no disturbances during the day,
Int the troons were Occupied doing guard
duty at points where disorder was threatened
at i.attimer and at the Audenried water sup
ply. A troop of cavalry was sent to Gran
berry TO protect two deputies in a search iol

no explosives we're found.
