The Galveston Flood.
Dallas, Texas, Oct. 9, 100

Dallas, Texas, Oct. 9, 1900.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Siebenthaler,
Dear brother and sister-I will
write you few lines today to let
you know we are here safe and are
thankful to get away from Galveston
alive. God only knows what the
fate will be of those who lost all in
the storm, and who are not able to
leave now, as Galveston is in most
frightful sanitary condition, and in
just state where some dreaded cpl
demic is likely to break out any
time. When we left, Sunday night,
there were a cases of daugue fever,
and that is to yellow fever what
variloid Is to smallpox.
The newspapers and doctors of
Galveston would like to make the
outside world believe that Galveston
is in fine sanitary condition, but
such a horrible smell and condition
of things as are there now are be-
yond all human description, and
cannot be believed by anyone who
never saw Galveston. The town had
very poor drainage at best, and
since the storm all drainage is clog
ged and filled up with debris and
sand.
All around the outside part of
town are piles of splintered houses,
box cars, bridges, rail road ties,
factory buildings, ETC., with, God
only knows how many, dead bodies,
horses, COWS, dogs, cats, chickens
and hogs mixed with 1t. When near
these drifts, person gets a smell
that will make one with a weak
stomach deathly sick; and such
mess of flies! no one on earth ever
saw before. The air is hazy, so
thick are the flies all over town.
We Jared remarkably well, all ex
cept John, at Galveston. John
passed the night in way that will
be forever stamped in his memory.
He was with a family at the beach
front, toward the west end of town,
where there is now no sign of
house for five or six blocks. The
house he was in had I6 people in it
when the Gulf waves licked it up
and demolished it into small kindling
wood. John and another young
man and Mr.. Brown, were the only
ones that were saved. John and Mr..
Brown were in a Salt Cedar, and the
other young man was in another tree
near by. After the house went to
pieces, and they were in the tree, 3
houses went right over them on the
waves, and at times the waves went
over them 40 or SO feet high. How
near instant death he was over
thousand times that night, no one
knows but he himself, and he did
not realize it until it was over.
The house we lived in stood it
like a rock; we saved it by cutting
the kitchen floor open and letting
the water in freely. Our furniture
is a total wreck and fell to pieces
before we left, so we did not ship
any of it, and now we are ready to
start over again in this world, but
we are thankful that we are all alive
and well. Your brother,
ADAM SIEBENTHALER.

A NEGRO'S OPINION.
Fort Deposit tAla.) Vindicator.

Fort Deposit tAla) Vindicator.
The better class Of negroes, as a rule
respect the white man and those W whitt
families who respect thenselves-es.
.pecially the white people who stay in
their own place and make the negro
stay in his.
However, there is certain class of
worthless. transient, vagabondish, ne
groes who respect nobody. They are
but little bctter than brutes, ard IL is
from this class most of our trouble
comes. They are the cause OF friction
between the races. Its generally the
strange negro passing through the
community that does the most pilfer-
ing and commits the dastardly crime
for which negroes are almost invari-
ably lynched. The better class 0f ne
gioeS who desire tn live in peace
among their white friends should see
to it that the loating negro does not
hang around their premises and when
any OF that gang commit any offence
against dccency calculated to stir up
strife between the whites and blacks.
the better class Of negroes should be
anxious to bring the offender To Justice
and If he deserves death help to break
his neck.

A WORD TO THE UNIONS.
Chicago journal.

Chicago Journal.
One OF the big stumbling blocks in
the way OF a man who attempts to de-
fend the general theory Of labor unions
Is the blundering manner In which the
the theory is specifically applied.
One finds that an opponent OF the
unions will grant that labor organiza-
t'ons are necessary in principle, but he
goes on to say: The way they are run
IN Chicago makes them the worst ty-
rants imaginable" He tells you OF a
strike ordered because a work invman
was laying cement with a spade in
stead OF a trOwel Hc gives instances
where thousands Of factory hands were
thrown out Of employment because a
walking delegate would not permit a
chimney To be mended on Sunday; Of
rules limiting the amount of labor to
be accomplished by man in a given
number Of hours; OF intolerable inter-
Terence with private rights by walking
delegates. He will give case where
a corporation had to choose between
jeopardizing the lives OF hundreds Of
people and disorganizing Il grert sys-
TEN because, unknown to its officers.
material manufactured by n0n.union
men had been found in the building.
He will tell you that there Is hardly a
business man In Chicago who has not
suffered from the exactions Ut repre-
seDtatives Of labor uni0ns, who. by
habits and associations, are unified
for their duties.
