GERmANY AND AMERICA

The correspondence between Admiral
Dewey and Admiral Won Diedrichs, which
the Globe publishes today on the oc-
casion of Dewey's deserved promotion,
places certain very voluble persons, such
as Grand Marshal Halstead and Capt.
Coughlin, in a very dubious position. 1t
sustains, moreover, the contention of the
German-American press of the country
that the statements made regarding the
hostile attitude Of the German repre-
sentatives at Manila toward the United
States were false and unfounded.
The G o b at no time gave sanction,
direct or indirect, to those statements or
to the foolish attitude assumed by GER
tain of our politicians and newspapers
toward the German nation. On the con-
trary. there was strong inherent evidence
that, like the statement that England
had saved US from European coalition
/ on behalf Of Spain, the reputed hostility
of Germany toward us was manufactured
to promote the purpose of our political
Anglo-maniacs.
The maudlin Coughlin has passed into
his bureaucratic obscurity There was
much to be said by way Of pardon of
him, but in his final disappearance from
public view he is now generally recog-
nized merely taIkative and irrespon-
sible man, fitted we'll enough to do the
work Of a subordinate bu+ diso,o1i g Al
by temperament from the higher duties
of public station. He was used as a
cats paw, and he fulfilled the role very
satisfactorily while he lasted
1t is very gratifying to all Americans
! who recognize the closeness of the bonds
which unite this people and the Germans
that this dangerous political fabrication
should receive it's death-blow at the
hands of-Admiral Dewey. His voice alone
was necessary to It's destruction. The
| tone Of both Won Diedrichs' and Dewev's
| letters is that of companionship in arms.
They address each other not in the formal
language of official poIiteness, but in
that of friends. This is especially notable
in Admiral Dewey's letter, as we'll as in
the fact that he felt called on to advise
the German commander of his promotion.
Coughlin and the Anglo-American ALI
ance are buried in the same ditch. The
relations between the two nations of the
United States and Germany, on the other
! hand, We're never more cordial than they
are at the present moment For which
we have largely to thank the good sense
of the head of the German empire. the
faith Of our COMMUNICATIONS citizens
and the refusal of the American peo-
pie as whole to be misIed by a junts
of small political marplots.

STILL "FoR DEFICITS ONLY

The second year of operation of the IA
nous tariff bill that was to wipe out the
stigma put upon our finances by that
terrible Gorman-Wilson act, stigmatized
by the opposition as tariff for deficits
only has closed with a deficit of over
$SS OOO, 600, or $16O0O,OOO more than the
greatest deficit under the Cleveland adj
ministration, that of 1894, after a year of
panic and before the enactment of the
tariff bill law of that administration. 1t
is more than twice the deficit of June 30,
1895, and over four times the deficit arising
under the last year of that much con-
temned measure. President Mckinley
closes the third fiscal year with short
age of $SS, SIS, 9S9; President Cleveland
closed his third year with a deficit of
1888, 9O9 The treasury of Mr.. McKin-
ley's administration is helped out with
an income from internal taxation of $273,-
142, 400, while the same source gave Mr..
CIeveland's fsc but $143, SIC, 21O, a difference
in favor of the former of over $3.50 900, 900.
Had Cleveland's internal revenue equaled
that of his successor he would have turn
ed the fiscal year with a surplus of about
$50 COO, OOO
But, it may be said, we have had, and
have, war on our hands which has alb
sorbed, during the fiscal year, nearly
1920, 900. True, but there was taken
from the treasury by congress $50, 900
last year to prepare for that war, and
there was raised on bonds S2OO,OOO,OOO by
that popular loan of laughable memory.
The war expenditure for 1883 amount
ed to $32O,O 100000. The average an
nuaI expenditure before 1898 was
5O,OOO,OO0, which. as it would have
been maintained, should be deduct
ed, leaving the war cost some 1920, C000O0,
or So, 900, 900 less than the proceeds of the
loan and of the emergency appropriation,
the latter, it will be recalled, being taken
from the cash on hand in the treasury.
In spite of this surplus of war fund over
war cost, of the doubling of internal rev.
enue receipts, and of the s11O0O,GO0 re-
ceived on account of Central Pacific, this
administration, that was going to re-
store solvency to the treasury and re-
place deficits with surplus closes the
year with a shortage of over SIS, 900, co.,
Republican papers maintain a prudent
silence upon the subject. They no longer
pirate about Democratic tariffs for deficits
only; that epigram has ,lost it's point for
them. The comparison between their
| jubilant predictions, which they based
upon the estimates of the chairman Of
the ways and means committee when he
presented his measure to restore sur
pluses in the special session Of 1897, and
| the performance of his scheme is rather
too painful a topic to dwell upon. Mr..
| DingIey's last estimate, made after de-
Quoting losses from anticipatory importa-
! lions, was that his measure would pro-
/ duce at least $75,OOO,O0O more than the
! Wilson act in it's first, and over $100,O00,
/ 600 more in its second year. 1t falls over
/ ST., 900 600 short of doing as predicted this
| year. and exceeds the product of the Will
son act in it's last year by only $300O0,O00.

DISASTER APPALLING.
Fairest Part of Texas Made "a VIII
derness by Floods.

HOUSTON, Tex, July 5.-A correspond
ent has just returned from a voyage
through the flooded districts. The disaster
is appalling. After this flood Will come
sickness, undoubtedly. and what a week
ago was the fairest part of Texas is now
almost God-forsaken wilderness. The
Waters Of the Brazos have fog six days
covered its valley to a depth of from
six to thirty feet, where a week ago
there were on every hand fields of cotton
and corn, and thousands of acres of
waternIelons and cantaloupos today there
is Shiny mud over all the vegetation, and
the bare carcasses Of cows, mules, pigs,
dogs and cats, mayhap humans, for many
are missing. The party left Bryan at
sunrise yesterday morning, going TO the
NaVasota bottoms and to a point about
three miles from Millican. Here they en-
countered everywhere an overflow from
the Navasota, which spread out fully two
miles on either side of the Houston &
Texas Central track.
Everything is under water from two to
seventeen feet. 1t looked on all sides like
a great lake, and the water was so high
that for vast area it completely sub
merged the telegraph and telephone poles
along the line. In truth portions of the
NaVasota bottoms are even now a perfect
sea, extending four or five miles wide
at certain points. Hundreds of houses
there are totally submerged, and as many
more are swept from their foundations
and destroyed. The planters of the bot
toms are still moving their help, and
whatever Is left of their stock to places
where they can be cared for. They are
all nobly helping each other and seek
ing refuge wherever they can; some seek
ing safety on housetops sE
All planters stated that the outside
world has no conception of the floods or
losses incurred by the destruction of
crops, stock and buildings. Nearly every
planter has built boats and sent them
through the flooded districts to render
assistance to the people, and If pos
sfble save some of their drowning stock.
The flood district has a length of over
$40 miles, breadth Of probably fifty
miles, and in all this vast space damage
1ncalcufabIe has been done.
The loss to life will never be fully
known, perhaps, the bottoms were thick
ly settled, mostly with negro tenant
farmers; among these has been the great
est loss Of life. To show the damage
done, the following estimates have been
made by men who are in position to
Know: Lives lost from 100 to 800; loss to
farmers, including crops, as well as live
stock, from $5.000,000 to SIS 00O, 600; damage
to railroads and to country bridges So
100000 to 100000 These estimates are
taken In the whole area. 1t is known that
more than sixty people have met their
death; that many bodies have been re-
covered; 1t is not believed that all of
them will ever be recovered.
