BURNING GALVESTON'S DEAD;
JIM HOWA FACES GALLOWS
More Than 200 Bodies Cremated on Saturday and Sun
day Witness SWearS Howard Admitted the
Murder Of Senator GOebd

Galveston. Sept 1s.-Still the grue-
some work goes on of recovering the
dead from the gigantic mass OF debris
that lines the south side of what re-
mains of the city. On Sunday 107 bodies
were recovered and cremated. Among
them was q mother with a sucking
babe tightly clasped to her breast. The
body of Major W.T.. Levy. United States
emigrant inspector of this district, was
among the number. He made a strug-
gle to save his wife and three children.
All were lost. The bodies of the wife
and children have not been recovered.
The number recovered and cremated
yesterday will exceed 100 or more. The
task Of recovering the bodies that are
beneath or jammed into this immense
rick of debris, extending from the
eastern to the western limits of the
city, distance of over three miles, is
a herculean one, and the most expedi-
tions way of removing the whole from
a sanitary point of view is by fire.
This immense mass Of debris, strewn
with dead bodies, the carcasses Of de-
caying animals. etc, is a sore menace
to the health of the city.
Yesterday it was decided that all the
laborers now employed in buiying the
dead, cleaning the buildings and NOV
ing the debris from the streets and
sidewalks shall receive s1.5O per day
and rations. Heretofore they have
been working for nothing. and IL they
refused were impressed by the military.

DANGERS OF THE TRUST
DISCUSSED In BRIEF

The platform very properly gives prom
lnence TO the trust question. Ihe ap-
palling growth OF combinations In re-
straint OF trade during the present ad-
minlstration proves conclusiVcly that
The Republican party lacks either the de-
sire or the ability 20 deal with the ques-
tlon effectively. If as may be fairly as
fumcd from the speeches and conduct OF
the Republican leaders, that party does
rot intend TO take the peoples side
against these organizations, then tho
weak and qualihcd condemnation Of
trusts to be found In the Republican
platform is designed 10 distract attention
while industrial despotism Is completing
its work. private monopoly has always
been an outlaw. No defense can be made
Of an industrial system IN which one, or
few men, can control for their own
profit. the output or price OF any article
OF merchandise. Under such a system
the consumer suffers extortion. the pro-
ducor OF raw material has but one pur-
chaser, and must sell 90 tho arbitrary
price fixed; the laborer has but one em-
ployer and is poWcrloss TO protest against
injustice, either I'm wages or in conditions
Of labor, the small stockholder is at the
mercy Of the spcculator, while the trav-
cling salesman contributes his salary to
the overgrown prOfits of the trust. Since
but a small proFortion OF the people can
vato monopoly it follows that the re-
malndor OF the people are not only ex-
less victims OF every monopoly organized.
