TnERE ARE oTHER TOWNS.

The fact seems 20 be overlooked that
other towns than Galveston were
ruined by the great storm. Not only were
there other towns. but the storm destroy
ed crops and farm houses over wide
section Of the state Of Texas. A dispatch
from Seabrooke 20 Houston. which we
published yesterday. contained this state
ment: 1T Is no use TO send newspapers
here 90 sell there are but few people
left and they are Starving for food and
need clothes 20 put on. Thirty-three out
Of the thirty-four houses are now Nat on
the ground. and twensy-one people out OF
our small population were drowned"
IL IL probable that there arc many other
small towns that suffered uimost as much
as seabrooke. and It will no doubt appear
that the losses sustained by farmers are
such chat they will ind Ct dlfncult to live
until they can raise new crops.
The welfare Of this class OF sufferers
will no doubt be looked after by the Gov
ernor. a very great deal OF the money
that has been contributed Is IN his hands
While he will see to Il that Gaiveston's
wants are provided for he will nos over
look towns less likely to attract auen-
ton.
The first reports OF the damage by the
storm 90 the Texas cotton crop were to
the effect that the loss would approx
mate 8 per cent. OF Il. Later reports mod
ify TO a very considerable extent the first
Impressions. II Is now said that the loss
Will not go above $4,000 bales. and the
chances are that will not be as great as
that stll. tho loss TO she cotton farmers
will be great.
The fact that the ruin wrought by the
storm covers a large territory was one OF
the reasons for the suggestion that much
Of the storm fund should be sent to the
Governor. He IS IN a better position TO
see that II is properly distributed than
any one else.

doubt In the publlc mind Of Mr. Bryan >
sincerity The only doubt by which the
people ore disturbed is whether the trusts
can be reached by the legislative methods
proposed
Ia his speech Mr. Bryan not only points
ont the evils 81 trusts, but he mentions
che remedies proposed for getting rid Of
them. one OF the remedies 90 which ne
directs particular attention. Is a change
la the tariH laws. At present the trusts
are strengthened by the tariff. Il pro-
,oc,s them and enables them TO sell their
products IN domestic markets az prices
that are much higher than those demand

give more attention 20 the trust question
than he has hitherto.
