SUFFERING.
Hundreds of Families in Small
Texas Towns in Want.

Reports from Alvin and some other
of the smaller Texas towns devastated
by the great hurricane bring the in
telligence that hundreds of families
are suffering positive want, and that
relief funds or supplies are impera-
lively needed. Following the first re-
ports of the devastation wrought by
the storm most of the subscriptions
raised all over the country were sent
to Galveston, as that city seemed to be
the greatest center of want and suffer-
ing. Owing to ignorance concerning
the conditions existing in the smaller
towns and villages, the latter were
sadley neglected. and while hundreds
of thousands of collars were hurried to
Galveston, ALVIN and the smaller com
munities were almost completely lg-
nored. It is safe to say that the ever
generous American public will see to
it that the smaller towns and villages
are promptly relieved as soon as the
fact that they are in actual want be-
comes generally known.

Soochow, General Gordon obtained Ii
Hung CLang's consent to pardon the
leaders on condition that the city
would surrender Internationally. The
terms were named, the city capitulat-
ed, but what was Gordon's astonish-
ment to find on the following mora
ing that Ii Hung Chang had invited
the leaders to his tent and while they
were partaking of his hospitality had
barbarously massacred them.
Gordon's fury knew no bounds. The
deceived general, it is said, followed
Ii Hung chang with loaded re-
volver along the city walls, and the
Chinese commander escaped being shot
by taking shelter in the house of a
friend. The subsequent friendship GO
years afterward) which subsisted be-
tween the two has always been an
enigma to the friends Of Gordon and
can be accounted for only by Cor
don's deep Righteousness and his desire
to forgive.

now said, will be sent to the rescue early

THE NATIONAL CREDIT.

Upward of $3l4,000,0O0 OF the Older
Government bonds, says the New York
Herald have now been converted into
the new per cents, and it is significant
that of the entire amount all but $25, 900,
600 are held by the banks.
AS the new bonds will run for 30 years
as they are available as security for circu
laling notes equal to their face value
the old notes being formerly security for
only 80 per cent. of their facc-and as
the tax on these notes is reduced Gr0m
per cent. to per cent the reasons for
the rapid exchange of the old bonds arc
obvious.
The greater value Of a bond having 80
years to run as compared with those that
had nearly matured is obvious. while the
per cent. reduction in the tax on notes
alone makes the 2 per cent. equal to ?!
per cent. on the old basis.
AS result Of the Treasury having kept
all its obligations through the trying
times of the last 40 years the credit of the
United States is of the very highest char
acter; but when the President and other
good Republicans in their speeches ignore
the advantages conferred on the new
bonds and speak of the conversion as a
plain rcfunding at per cent, they are il =
dulging in mere flapdoodle

DEVELOPMENT PLANS.

A letter from Ocean City to the Balti
more SIM says:
A movement has been recently inaugural
ted on the Maryland peninsula fer tie
organization of an eastern Shore board
of development" The promoters OF this
movement are State Senator NJ, Y. Brew
ington, of Salisbury; Col, OSWALD Tilgh
man, of Easton DR.. Paul Jones, OF Snow
Hill, and w. s. Mexican, of Ocean City,
hut until recently, however a resident of
Washing ton, and the original publisher
of the Ocean City NewS. These gentle
men have given the subject much study
and, after consultation and corrcspon-
dence with number of prominent citi-
Zens of the Eastern Shore, have decided
to go ahead and perfect the board Of
development and get to work in the direc-
ton contemplated. The scope of work
of the board will develope as the move
mept progresses, but the most important
efforts will be the preparation of news
paper and Magazine articles setting forth
the great advantages of the Eastern Shore
as place for investment and settlement
and its remarkable healthfulness and
productiveness.
1t is generally conceded that the people
of other parts of our country know bat
comparatively little of the Maryland PENN
sula and that the tine has now arrived
when there should be organization and
IF q 81
interested in its further development.
A goodly number of prominent people
will meet at Ocean City during the first
week in August to organize the board of
! list of officers, and then an invitation will
probably be sent out to prominent and
progressive citizens of all the counties
composing the Maryland peninsula to join
and meet for the completion of the organi-
| cation.
The promoters of the board Of develop
| ment contemplate that a part of the work
will be in the direction of bringing settlers
| to the Eastern Shore and the broadening
| of the markets for its grain and general
products, they believing that such an
| organization as proposed can do much in
| brin ging about these very desirable ends.
1t is found upon investigation by some
| of the gentlemen named above that there
are thousands of the people of the North
west States who are seeking such a climate
and opportunities as can be offered by Tie
| Maryland peninsula, but that these people
lack the information that can and should
be furnished them. The board of develop
mcnt will therefore exert some energy IN
the Northwest. Much more valuable lcgis-
lation can be gotten. both at Annapolis
and Washington. it is believed, through
the efforts of the board, made up rs it viii
be of energetic and influential men from
all the counties.
In the matter of officers Of the board it
is contemplated to have a vice president
from Cecil, Kent, Queen Anne, Talbot,
Caroline, Dorchester, Wicomico, Worccs-
ter and Somerset, and also a representa-
| tive on an executive committee, thereby
making the board thoroughly representa-
| tive of all sections

DISTRI
CUBAN POSTAL SCANDALS.

The report of the official invcstiga-
ton into the postal frauds in Cuba tells
unrclentingly story of looting that in
reckless daring is not often cXcelled,
says the Philadelphia Times. 1t does
not appear that Mr.. Rathbonc, the
Director of Posts. was Immediately
concerned i'll the robbery Of the funds
thing wore than incapable. He went
to Havana to draw his salary and en-
joy his pclqnisites, living in ostcnt;,-
lious style and charging his eNtrava-
CANT personal expenses to public &C
count. Meanwhile his sul,ortlnales
hcil,ctl themselves.
Il is shown that Nicely, Ike Indiana
man who was made Chief 0! Tie Bureau
Of Finance. began to improve his op-
portunitics as soon as lie got there, so
that within three months he was able
OF his salary OF $50 His cmbczzle-

This cntvrprsing Indianian had
other sources of revenue also. He gave
orders t,r printing to his own concern
at home and duplicated the bills He
bought post office furniture from a
concern i'll indianapolis in which some
OF bis political friends were interested
and received commissions on these
purchases. He was in various local
spccula:ions, and was altogether so
obviously and VIGOROUSLY crooked
that his immunity even for the short
period in which he tiourisl,ed must
have been impossible if the Director
OF Posts had been him elf in position

Since these Havana defalcations
We're made public, the Post Office
Department has made what appears to
have been very thorough invcstiga-
ton, has preceded vigorously against
the culprits and, it may he hoped,
has taken measures to prevent a re-
petition Of such crime This is all it
could do. after the event and its dis
coycry. 1t must be said also that the
Assistant Postmaster General WHO
was the political sponsor for these
cmbezzl,rs has resigned, to bcrpmc
secretary 10 the Republican national
committee.
The Nioc affair IS nevertheless
