prospect of idleness, hunger and want

Suggestion from New York Journal:
There is only one way to find out ap-
proximately the number and the identi-
~ of the dead at Galveston. The census
office has the clew. It knows that on
June there were S7,7s9 people in the city.
1t knows the name of every one of them
OF course there were a few changes in
the population during June. July and
August, but probably not very many. If
the government would now take a new
census, showing the population OF Gal
weston today and compare the names on
it with those on the previous list, 1t
would know pretty accurately which Of
the permanent residents of the city had
lost their lives. OF course, this
would leave the guests at hotels
and other transient visitors to
be accounted for, but it would dispel the
greater part OF the uncertainty, and
most Of the remainder could be cleared
up by such hotel registers and other
records Of travellers as remain.
