GALVESTON. TEXAS July 1.-The Texas food stu
alton is the result of four days steady nin begin
ming June 70. which, at some points. partook Of
the nature of cloudbursts In some cases the rain
fall twenty inches, and at several places it was
reported as eight inches. These heavy rainfals
caused rivers to overflow, in some cases reaching
the highest points known. In the central part Of
the state the food reached its height saturday and
Sunday The Brazos River at Waco flooded part of
the town. but there was no loss of life. At Hearne
and Navasota the same was true. The Bazos Val
ley at Calvert, Robertson county, flooded so
suddenly that plantation hands could not reach
high ground.
Reports were circulated that fifty people were
drowned As the waters recede near Calvert, the
facts are found to be that fourteen lives were lost
All of the victims were negroes except one. Many
head of cattle were drowned. Tonight the food
condition in Lower Brazos Valley, at Brookshire,
Wallis, Richmond, Rosenberg, Thompson, Duke,
Areola Fulshear, Chenango and Columbia is very
bad. Wallis reports that the Brazos is ten feet
higher than in 1885; back-water within one and
one-quarter miles of town is ten feet deep. The
san Antonio and Arkansas Pass bridge, at Wallis is
two feet under water.
The Southern Pacific Road west of Houston is
washed out near Rosenberg and Richmond. The
Santa Fe is washed out near Thompson 1t is feared
when the rise now at Wallis gets to Rosenberg and
Thompson the consequences will be serious At
eight O'Clock tonight the river is rapidly rising

Is it a Mockery or Protest

Last Tuesday was the Fourth of July, the
l2sd anniversary of the Declaration OF hide :
pendenee. 1t was celebrated to greater
extent this year than for some years past
There were parades, oratory, music, canon
salutes, and the usual display Of fireworks.
To children the Fourth of July is day for
fireworks. To the thoughtful citizen, who
cherishes liberty and republican Institutions
it is reminder that It is the anniversary Of
declaration Of principles that astounded the
nations of the old world and marked the be-
ginning of a heroic struggle which resulted IN
the independence of the colonies and the
erection of the freest and best government
ever established and maintained by man.
In times past our statesmen and orators
were wont TO speak of the Declaration of In
dependence as Immortal and when it was
read in the hearing of the multitudes its de-
clarations we're hailed with shouts Of appro-
val. 1t declared
I've hold these truths to be selfevident That
all men are created equal that they are ehaoWeu
that among these arc life liberty and the pursuit
of happiness. That TO secure these ri9fs, govern
lust powers from the consent OF the governed
When the people of the United States we're
celebrating the adoption Of the Declaration OF
Independence last Tuesday-that document
that declared all men are created equal and
endowed with the inalienable right 70 life,
liberty and the pursuit Of haPpiaess-Uniled
States soldiers were invading foreign soil
- 4 sT-,fysstyfar life ~
Ryiag liberty and prereRting happiness.
In view of this was the celebration of the
adoption of the Declaration Of Independence
a mockery? 1t was either that, or protest
against the abnegation of the principles II
declared by the course Of the Mckinley Ad-
ministration in trying to subjugate people
whose only offence is love for liberty and de-
sire for self.goveEnment
The Fflipinos hailed the presence Of United
war ships in Manila bay aud reioieed at the
destruction of Montejo's feet. They vel
coined the presence of United States soldiers,
and co-operated with them in hemming in the
Spanish army. The presence Of the Filipino
army on the north of Manila prevented Span
ish retreat, and the capture Of the city be-
came easy work But II is not at all impro-
bable, had the Filipinos forseen what our
occupation meant they would have joined the
Spanish in defending the city aud islands from
our INVASION Our work has been more dis
tasteful than Spanish rule. They believed
the United States came TO deliver, but they
soon found they had come TO occupy AID
govern the Philippines. They believed We
adhered to the Declaration of Independence.
to the Monroe Doctrine and respected the
advice of Washington. They have beea de
ceived, and their leaders, educated and in
tefigent men, many OF them, will wait to see
whether the Fourth Of July celebrations IN
the United States were mockery pro-
test against what Mckinley once said would
be terminal aggression.

The Real Cause

Postmaster-G General Smith, in a speech at
Omaha, Nebraska, on Monday, seeing the
drift of public sentiment against territorial
expansion and needless and cruel war, en-.
deavored to place the responsibility Of the
war in the Philippines upon the delay in the
ratification of the treaty with Spain. Had
the treaty been rejected, we would have no
semblance to title 10 the Philippines and our
troops and ships could have been withdrawn,
and there would have been no war. 1t was
the determination Of the Mckinley Admin
istration to branch out as a great naval power
that has caused all the trouble. The treaty
should have provided only for peace between
the two countries and the REIMBURSEMENT Of all
authority by Spain over Cuba.
