GALVESTOS DEVASTATED

News comes of a startling nature
from the chief city of Texas, Calves
ton 1t is so situated it is liable TO be
visited by a storm at any time. 1t has
suffered heretofore more than once
from a tremendous storm that swept
by it and partially over it. The ca
lamitous news is that it has again
been attacked by a storm of great vio-
lence. and that much of the city has
been swept away, and the awful, ap-
palling report comes too that several
thousand people have prished in it
and other southern Texas towns. W
must hope that the loss of life is nOt
SO great as reported. the destruc-
ton of both human lives and property
is very great there is no doubt. As we
wrote the particulars were meagre'
The whole country will sincerely sym
pathize with the inhabitants of the
unfortunate city, and it will be prompt
no doubt to render any assistance pos
sible to rebuild and r~eestablish the
city.

WHAT VERMONT'S ELECTION
MEANS.

The republican organs are so elated
over the vote in Vermont they actu-
ally print a cartoon at Bryan's ex-
pense. The most conservative of the
organs regard the vote as not encour-
aging for Bryan much. They find
hat there is no revolution in public
sentiment in New England favorable
to Bryan. They say it makes New
York. New Jersey and all New Eng
land safe for Mckinley. The Philadel-
phia Ledger tries TO be fair and
to tell the truth, and it puts the case
in this wise:
1.-The Vermont election is not of very
great service as a straw showing when
way the political wind is blowing but
straws are scarce, and, therefore, 1t is
worth while to see how this one points.
It is Favorable to h democrats, be-
cause, according to the returns thus
far received, the republican vote fell
off 10 per cent. from the state election
vote of 1896, while the democratic vote
was increased IA per cent. a CORES
ponding change throughout the union
of the Presidential election in NOVem-
Der would result in the election OF Mr..
Bryan without the aid of New York.
Deducting 10 per cent of h republic
can vote for Mckinley in 1896 and add
ing IA per cent. to the democratic vote
for Bryan would leave New York re-
publican by 200, 900, but it would turn
over half a dozen other states having
90 ELECTORAL votes to the democrats,
and would give Bryan altogether 245
electoral votes to 202 for Mckinley.
That is not bad surely for Bryan,
and the cartoon business was a misf1t
50 tar as it is applied to him.
Take a further view. List US take a
paper that advocates Bryan. n New
York Journal. 1t save the election in
Vermont showed that whatever drift
there is, is Bryanward. 1t thus ap-
plies the loss and gain, N there is
no Dragging in it, but cool calculation:
1.-THE indications are that the repub-
1ican vote in Vermont has fallen on
about 10 per cent. as compared with
the corresponding election in 1896,
while the democrats vote has
creased about 16 per cent.
Indiana has Is electoral votes. IN
1896 the republican vote there was S23,
754, and the democratic 3O5,513. Ii the
republicans lose 10 per cen and the
democrats gain 16 per cent. the repuo-
lican vote in Indiana this year will
be 291, 379, and the democratic 5o4,oI5.
leving a democratic plurality of 6S,-
OS3.
"A similar process would give the
democrats Delaware by 447, West Vir-
ginia by 1892, kentucky by 56,SS9,
Ohio by so, sol and North Dakota by
2S3.
Here are 60 electoral votes thai
Bryan did no get in 1896. If he should
get them now he could afford to lose
I vote in California and 4 in Washing
ton, and still he would e elected by
2S3 electoral votes to 214."

DEATH OF HORACE III. MUNsON

Thousands of people in North Carroll
Ia who greatly esteemed this excellent
gntleman, will be panied to learn that
he is dead. On Sunday night last, af-
ter s O'Clock, the soul of this good n
true man left it's crumbling tenement
and returned to the Heavenly Father
who created it. He had been in declin-
ing health for some years, and for sew
eraI months there were sad indications
to his loved ones and friends that here
he had no abiding city, but would not
long hence have to go. He had been
a faithful, earnest member Of the Pres
byterian church for many decades.
and was held in high esteem by his
brethren as he was held oy all the peo-
pl in Wilmington who knew him well.
He was indeed an honest man. There
was nothing allowed in his business
transactions that was not square and
perpendicular. He vas an excellent
citizen every way. and Wilmington is
a positive loser, for no man of his per-
sonal worth and admirable qualities
can be taken from a community with
out its suffering a decided loss. He was
a very genial man and a true friend.
He was doubtless ready. prepared for
the great change. The Messenger pro-
foundly sympathizes with the aged
wife and the children n relatives in
the sad bereavement they are passing
through. Il will be with thee; L will
not fail thee. nor fOrsake thee"

To Boycott American Cotton

Manchester, Eng, September AT
a meeting Of the cotton spinners here
today it was decided, practically unan-
imouSly, not to purchase American
spot cotton during the month of Sep
TENDER. Four-fifth Of the employers
in the trade were represented. 1t is an
ticipated that the decision will lead to
the closure Of scores of mills for sew
eral weeks. Only three manufacturers
opposed the resolution, and their OBJ
lection was that it va. not strong
enough and hat it should bind the
trade to stop the consumption of cot
ton and MOI merely to stop purchasing
It. %.
The meeting was private but it was
ascertained hat during the discussions
there was sharp criticisms of the Liv-
erpool SPECTATORS who, it was declared.
made b crisis worse by gambling.
Eventually the meeting adjourned
until September 21st, when the situa-
ton will again be considered.
