 All will rejoice in the revival of pros perity in Galveston. That city is emerg- ing finely from the ruin and disaster brought upon it when the city was overwhelmed by the great gulf tide of four years ago. Much has been done to guard against a similar disaster in the future, and great progress has been made to that end. A high sea wall over three miles in length has been built and tcompleted at a cost of over $l,500.0OO, and the event was recently celebrated I in a notable manner. The federal gov ernment also has contracted for the ex- tension of the wall from it's present terminus at Thirty-ninth street to Fifty-third street. The total length of the wall when the government extea- sion is completed will be little more than four miles. The county of Calves ton had the sea wall built, and now the city will attend to another important twork-the raising of the grade of the city within the sea wall. This work is now under way. The grade will be eight feet above low tide at Avenue A, fronting on the bay, ten feet at Broad way, twelve feet at Avenue P, and con- tinue upward to the top of the sea wall at the gulf, seventeen feet, thus form ing a rise of one foot in fifteen hundred from bay to gulf. The total estimated cost of sea wall and grade raising is s, 100000. Bonds were issued to cover the cost of these improvements by the county and the city, and the bonds weretaken mostly by Galveston citizens. The legislature has rendered important aid in the matter by beneficiary legisla-' tion and has also authorized the issue ! of $2,0O0,O00 bonds and declared the money as donated by the State to be a trust to aid Galveston to pay the inter est and sinking fund on this bond issue. And all this work of improvement has been done and is being done legitimate Fly. without graft. As part also of the changes going on, 2,156 houses will have to be raised on account of the change of grade. +s.ls
 Galveston has twenty-seyen feet of water in its ship channel at low tide, is the terminus of many railroad lines and has sixty-one lines of steamers plying to foreign ports. Galveston stands third among American ports in the amount of it's exports. and thirteenth in im- ports.
 The importance of Galveston and her future brilliant prospects are well set forth in an array of facts and figures in a special issue of the Galveston News, all of which clearly indicates |Galveston's manifest destiny"
