wreckage. Many horses were killed.
Cattle here escaped but nearer the
gulf many were drowned. A few days
later we drove 25 miles toward Cal
weston Bay and found several miles
inland marks of the great force of the
south wind, which were terrifying to
behold. Great pieces ~ feet long of
the Bay bridge with ties, rails and all
complete We're lying ON the praire car
ried there by the waves. Pieces of
furniture We're there. beds, chairs,
tables but most pathetic of all, a
cradle, a baby's empty cradle, baby
indeed is gone,
I'm that drive OF - miles we saw
only one farm house standing on the
praire which had lately been dotted
with happy homes. Two or three were
scattered i'm the edge of the timber and
u few left in a little town we passed
through.
our town Of Anglcton. the county
seat of Brozonia county, suffered Sc
verely, the poor LETT destitute, the rich
crippled. 70 all the relief sent out by
kind friends further north was n ost
welcome, a bright ray in all this dark
ness. How blessed this charity which
helps both giycr and receiver. All
that we have is what we have given
away. II is all that can be taken be-
yond the grave" Boxes of clothing
hIye been received by the Relief com
mittee here from New York Pennsyl-
vania Iowa aud many other places.
/ want TO make special mention of the
box from lola Kansas sent to the
writer. 1t was model package in
many ways and gladdened several
hearts, May the donors receive their
reward in the hereafter. We hope
they will never need it here.
As to the future Of the mainland here
no one can prophecy with certainty.
Many are leaving and many more are
in doubt ,as to the wise step. The
Santa Fe, the I. G. NJ. and perhaps
other road, have acted most literally
toward this section carrying refugees
and bringing relief boxes free.
This is most enchanting country.
The quick recovery Of the vegitation
from a disaster ike tins is incredible
to those further north. The trees
which after the storm were bare of
leaves, in ten days were a mass of
green again as in June with you. The
peach and apple trees arein full bloom
again for the second time this year
and the roses and lilies are loaded
with their fragrant blossoms.
The rice men are enthusiastic. The
rice stood the storm, strawberries
also. These two are'all that escaped.
Soon we expect nice boom since
this experimental farm is a success.
Now if the Goulds take hold
of the port at Relasco as they
are expected TO do this country
will develope real estate rise in value
and fortune will come quickly to
those who held out. But asau honest
real estate man says, that remains to
be seen yes we have honest real estate
meu,here). 1t seems incredible to us

The GALVESTON HURRICANE
Description Of the Awful storm rs
Told 10y an Eye Witness

redeuted storm which visited Texas
last month was written by sister of
Mrs Laura Barnes especially for the
REGISTER:
The eighth day OF Sapte u)er, 1900,
is day which win be famous in his
ory because of this storm. Nothing so
destructive to- property or causing so
great loss of,life has ever occurred n
America. I'm fact neither she total
loss Of life nor that of property can
ever be fully known "ul the ,ea
gives up IFS dead"
So much ma, been said about Ga =
weston that this article win speak OF
the maitland, which suffered so se-
verely but has been overlooked 10y
many OF the great dailies, and our own
experience on that awful night is, with
slight variation, the experience OF
thousands.
We. of this part OF the beautiful
''coast country" Of Texas, being Il
miles from the Gulf, were not reached
by the storm wave, which washed: Gal
weston, but were in the very worst of
the hurricane, and we have very
vivid recollection OF the storm and
that terrible night.
The day before was not unusual in
any way except perhaps rather
warmer than we expect on the coast.
About night it grew cloudy and at
O'Clock Saturday morning rain began
falling gently at first and with Slight
wind. The rain fell faster and the
wind increased in velocity every hour.
We We're not in the cyclone belt, 50
we We're not alarmed blythe state Of the
weather and apprehended no danger
from the storm.
Even at y. IN. when a neghbor
came TO arrange to bring his sick wife
and daughter 70 Us. as his house was
going 90 pieces we We're glad that
our house was larger and stronger
aud could safely be used as refuge
in a storm. Little did we think then
that in six hours not one timber OF 10
would be left standing.

NOT TO BE FREE AZ ALL.

The Cubans see their franchises COB
bled up, their valuable lands traversed
by companies that forget to remunerate
them for the damage done and the right
of way occupied. They see the reven-
ues confiscated by thieving lackeys,
whose powers to obtain favors has a
premise on being able to purchase an
Ohio legislator. They do not observe
that they are any closer to freedom than
when Spain ruled the island and they
notice that the fellow who runs 1t Is
still called governor general" Now
all governor generals look alike to the
Cubans. What they want and what 1t
is claimed they are going to have, is
an opportunity to select their own
officers. President Mckinley says this
will surely be done, yet Admiral Dewey
says the Filipinos are more capable Of
self-government than the Cubans. Why
doesn't the president promise the same
to the Filipinos? AS matter of fact
isn't 1t becoming apparent that he in
tends no measure of freedom from
either of them?

TIE WIRELESS FENCE POST.

1t Is now announced that the Ameri-
can Steel e Wire company raked off
Sc, 800, 900 in half year and that the
earnings continue to be 100000 a
month. The wireless fence posts that
Editor Lawler, of Carrollton, referred to
at late Democratic convention In
Canton, come in just here for appro-
pirate reference. The farmers cannot
spare the timber with which to make
fences and have long since adopted the
wire fence as being cheaper and more
durable. Now the price has gone up
till many farmers cannot buy the wire
and those who can, pay large bonus
to the trust. That is where the trust
makes 100000 month, an enormous
profit off it's investment. The wire
trust is only a sample of the general
trust business. In all lines the COM
binations are throttling competition and
controlling the output Of the product
that has been cornered and then the
people are called upon to pay tribute.
The election of Colonel w. j. Bryan
will put an end to some of this ruinous
business. 1t is claimed by some that
he cannot stop 1t If he Is elected. They
also said that Andrew Jackson couldn't
do anything with the fellows who
cornered the money when he was presi-
dent, but he found a way. The fact
is that the trusts and the trust foster
ers know that Mr.. Bryan will find
way to relieve the situation and that
is why they are so persistent in their
efforts to defeat him. They know there
will not be so many wireless fence posts
when he is president.

CAUSE AND EFFECT.

They seem to have lost sight of the
real cause for the Chinese war and
the occasion for the violent antipathy
engendered among the nations for all
foreigners. The Chinese rulers have, for
years, seen the brains of their people
stolen by the use Of opium and kindred
narcotics, but frowning British gun
made resistance futile unless prepara-
tion was made for a long and bloody
war. Is 1t any wonder the Chinese
hate foreigners? Is 1t any wonder mis-
sionaries are not welcomed? Is II all
peculiar? With the United States In
the Philippines at the gateway to China
there should be suspicion as to the ulti-
mate designs of this country. Ordinarily
our ministers would have held the key
to the situation and his representation
would have been considered the proper
solution to any question that arose.
But how is 1t now? It has been found
necessary to plant the flag ON the i'm
perial domicile at Peking, and now
comes the crucial test. Who Is to haul
1t down?

republic would see that It be done.
What a play 1t would be! England
could make wry faces and let go and
Mckinley would pose as the liberator
Of the valiant Beers.
Such might prove a possibility were
1t not for men like Hanna, who really
owns Mckinley. Such men believe in
crushing opposition at any cost and
England is also full of such men. The
masses of England as well as the
masses Of America desire the freedom
of the Beers but the men who desire to
reap wealth from stolen Boer territory
do not.
Meanwhile the American people have
an opportunity Of putting true friend
of liberty into power by the election Of
Bryan. Bryan's election would mean
the recognition of every righteous
struggle for liberty in the world and
the restoration Of America to the proud
position 1t occupied as the friend Of the
oppressed before the Hannaised admin
istration turned war of freedom into
a war of conquest and sub
stiuted the emblem of slavery for
the cap of liberty.

that prosperity and power rests with
the creators-the masses-and not with
the drones. Brawn and brains make the
wheels move and not European stock
holders, or those who ape royalty, be-
lieving that the way to reach the masses
is through their stomachs.
With a monarchist like Hay to con-
duct our foreign policy, Hanna to look
after labor and a check book for the
politicians, it is time for the common
people to look after their own rights, or
get ready to take to tall timber.

OPPORTUNITY FOR GRAND STAND
PLAY.

The fight the brave Beers are making
in South Africa for their liberties and
for their homes appeals to every true
American and finds a responsive chord
in almost every breast save those of the
present pro- English administration and
its trucking followers.
Late dispatches show that, notwith-
standing the disadvantages of fighting
a foe Numerically ten times stronger
and being cut off from supplies. the
brave burghers of that South African
free land are fighting with the courage
and desperation that saved America
from the British yoke. England itself
Is tired of the struggle. That nation OF
money gatherers has no usesfor a fight
that does not bring dollars to the pock-
cts Of the people and thlempire. This
being the case a glorious opportunity
affords itself for the Administrators

no COLONIAL POLICY.

Senator Edmunds, who is known as an
nti-Imperialist, and one OF those whom
the Democtate have counted on for help
in their anti Imperiaistic crusade, is a
Republican, and for Mckinley as against
Bryan, For party OF good purpose and
proved capacity as against e party with
only mean purposes and proved in
capacity. Mr.. Edmunds took all the
f)rce out OF the Democratic anti-Im-
perislistic plank the other day when he
said that there was no colonial policy in
the government of this country.
The question OF colonial dependencies
has come into our political discussion as
fact to be provided for, and not as a
theory for discussion. The issue of a
war that was forced upon us, has left us
with outlying dependencies that must be
governed and protected, and which must
be protected from themselves as much as
from other people. Incapable of gov
ernnient as we are committed to and
understand it there seems to be but one
method OF procedure-to govern them un-
til they can govern themselves. When that
time comes the Democrats admit that
whatever phase OF self government is
adopted for the Filipinos, it must be
under an American protectorate. That
is as far along the road to Imperialism as
any Republican has gone the Demo-
Gratis as far as the Republicans. The cry
Of imperialism at this time is not direct.
ed against anything the Republicans
have done, but to prevent Republicans
from doing from what Democrats want
to do.
