was blown up from the beach until
great sand dunes have formed, and
these, under even great storms. have
protected the city from the big waves
rolling in. The Galveston beach is
thirty-two miles in length, and it is
said to be the finest in the world. Ger
tainly it is the finest driveway. Prac-

summer to enjoy the cool breezes or

All told, the government has spent
some $4,000, 600 in building ietties and
obtaining deep water. Some of these
millions were thrown away in driblets
and patchwork. The famous Tom
Ochiltree was s ant to congress from the
Galveston or shoestring district and he
obtained an appropriation of $500, 600
in lump. This brought deep water
and made Galveston a sea port.
On the bay side tho water is deep and
the big ships come in. Elevators have
been erected and the grain from the
Northwest and from North Texas seeks
tide water there. The export business
is enormous but only a bagatele to
what it will be. Only OF late yeUrs

Talk of moving the city and hiding it
away from storms is foolish. AS we'll
talk OF moving the island. The next
storm may find a focal point some
where else
Galveston island is an odd bit of the
earth's surface. 1t is sand bank two
miles from shore, some twenty-seven
miles in length and very narrow, 1t
probably an outer bar at one time, and
when the bay behind it filled up the sea
receded and left it exposed. The high
est point of the island is not much more
than six feet above sea level. The
ground upon which the city stands is,
perhaps, not two feet higher than the
see level. The island lies nearly east
and west and on the eastern end is To-
Gated the city. The island is barren OF
trees. Grasses grow on it. Oleanders
bloom and thrive so luxuriantly out OF
doors that it has been called the Ole
ander City. On the south side of the
island salt cedars have been planted
] and these have arrested the sand tina

To Build up Galveston.

During seasons of excitement of any
sort lot of foolish talk is always in
dulged in. There was foolish talk about
moving the site of Memphis some years
ago, aud there is foolish talk about
moving the site OF Galveston today
This sort of foolish talk does no harm;
nevertheless, it is foolish talk.
Galveston will arise from her couch
of desolation and calamity stronger,
prouder and greater than ever. 1t will
not be the same Galveston in some
particulars, because much and many
that were are gone to return no more.
1t will be the same Galveston in its
larger aspects, in its hopes, ambitions
and commercial consequence. Calves
ton is destined to be the Carthage of
the Southern gulf of the American
Mediterranean. 1t will not pass as did
the Carthage of old, because it will be
defended by q better civilization The
end of the island will be raised The
buildings will be more substantial and
capable OF resisting the winds and
storms. Better bridges will connect
the island with the mainland. More
and better breakwaters will be con-
structed. The geographical position of
the island in its relation to commerce
justifes all this-renders it imperative.

traffic to this point-only since the COM
pletion of the jetties.
Galveston is desoIate but she will be
rebuilt. Though maritime city her
people are not as cosmopolitan as many
other cities. They are for the greater
part from the stock of those pioneers
who went to Texas from Virginia, the
Carolinas, Tennessee, Georgia and Ala
bama. The longshoremen, who un-
load vessels, the screwmen, who pack
away the cotton and those who go down
to the sea in ships are principally Of
foreign extraction but they are in the
minority. Galveston is intensely
American and Americans are city
builders.
Out of the present chaos will come
order. After the night Of desolatior
will come the day of gladness. Calves
ton has been sorely wounded. So wat

CO. NEW
The Compromise,

1t is doubtful if it is ever best to sup
press the truth, however unpalatable,
but in the present state of affairs, like
Blanco's ghost-it refuses to down. At
first while neither side swas especially
pleased neither raised any serious OBJ
jections to the terms Of the compromise
as published, and it looks as if it would
be finally accepted, until after the cleo
tion, as the best thing that could be
done.
However, when itBScame konwn that
the state organization instead Of being
composed of an equal number Of each
faction, that it was composed of twen-
ty-one committeeman from one faction
and only eleven from the other, the
voters Immediately refused TO accept
the result and openly declare they will
not vote for the compromise ticket.
The result is that the voters are more
determined than before the compro-
mise was made. The compromise has
not, so far as we are able to find ont
changed single vote. The plain yot-
ers charge that the compromise was not
made in the interest Of the party, but
was simply an arrangement between
the office holders to perpetuate their
term OF office. That they are not inter-
ested in these gentlemen holding office
and will not be ignored or used as pup
pets.
Plain Talk warned the leaders that
there would be trouble il the peoples
wishes were not respected. It is USE
less to claim the voters are pleased and
assume few clubs will get them in
line. 1t has gone too far. Something
must be done or the ticket will lose
hundreds and perhaps thousands of
votes in East Tennessee. This plain
statement of the situation and our
opinion. Plain Talk.

Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale Of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought Of using
anything else for Indigestion or Bilious
ness. Doctors were scarce, and they
seldom heard OF Appendicitis, Nervous
Prostration or Heart failure, etc. They
used August Flower TO clean out the
system, and stop fermentation Of undi-
gested food, regulate the action Of the
liver, stimulate the nerves and organic
action of the system, and that is all
they took when feeling dull and bad

Died of HemOrrhage at Big Creek.

James Clayman, who has conducted
Morrell's store at Big Greek, was found
dead yesterday morning lying in
pool of blood. Upon investigation it
was found that he had died of hemor-
rhage during Tuesday night.
When he retired Tuesday evening
Mr.. Clayman was feeling unusually
we'll, although he hAd suffered from
consumption. Shortly before day
break Wednesday morning King James
heard two shots from a pistol, and got
up to investigate, but saw nothing
wrong at the store and again retired.
Wednesday morning he sent down to
the store to purchase some articles and
the messenger returned with the start
ling information that Mr., Clayman was
lying dead in the store with blood on
his clothes and the floor. The store
was close and guarded until Magistrate
Booher arrived and made an investiga-
tion. 1t was then found that he had
died from a hemorrhage, and not by
violence. The dying man had evident.
ly fired the shots hoping to attract at
tention.
The remains were taken to the Clay
man home about two miles above Big
Greek, and the funeral was held there
this afternoon at o'clock. The de-
ceased was about 80 years of age and
unmarried. Bristol News.
