GAYEXPX'AXD JOHNSTOWN.
The public is so used to exag
gerations in the first accounts of
great disasters that people are
prepared to make great, allow
ance, finding at the end that the
evil was multiplied by two at
least, but not so with the great
Galveston disaster, as it was not
with Johnstown.
Few dispatches put the esti-
mates so high .as now, and con
servative estimates hoped for
casualties not to exceed 3,000.
They are placed now as high as
6,000, which puts it within 1,000
of the great Johnstown flood.
The two rank as America's
greatest calamities and they differ
chiefly in that the Johnstown
ti.roke was imrelyQa flood with
out wind and more sweepingly
destructive to life and property
than that of Galveston, which
was storm and flood and killed
many and injured many but left
more than half the population to
bring order out of chaos, bury
the dead and minister to the
wounded. There is in the latter
larger necessities for relief and
the nation has the opportunity
of bestowing availing pity, which
it is doing right nobly. The for
tunate part of the Galveston sit
uation is that enough was left to
set the machinery of relief and
restoration in motion and to open
the channels through which the
currents of the world's clfarities
may flow to the injured.and the
suffering destitute.
No pen can adequately picture
the.borsars of either.' At first'
the world , stood aghast, then
rushed Jjphe rescue. JVhen suf
fering relieved in a measure
the late great catastrophe will-
begin to dim as it recedes into he
realms of. the pastand by the
time another occuis this will ap
pear diminutive in comparison
as the Johnstown flood does not
to the average person.
STORM SUFFERERS.
An $peal for Aid From Alvin and
m Ylcinity.
"The uSderagedciizensoiJ
Atyin, Texas, comppsing the Re
lfef Committee appointed, by a
mass meeting of the storm 'suf
ferers in conjunction with the.
city council qf Alvin,' state for
the information of the ptfbiicJ
that Altfin is a city of 2,000 pop
ulation 29 miles west of the city
of Galvesten on the G., O. & S.
F. Ry.; that thQ surrounding
country tributary to Alvin, of
which Alvin is the trade centre,
has a population approximating
5,000 outside of the city limits;
that during the . late storm of
Sept. 8th, a storm unprecedented
in the history of the coast coun
try from its earliest settlement,
the homes of thousands of our
people with practically all of
their personal effects, were, lit
erally swept away by the rav
ages of the storm, and they are
now completely homeless and en
tirely helpless, being unable to
help themselves.
About twenty persons were
killed in the territory embracing
the Alvin country and scores of
others badly injured. These
people, who embrace a very in
telligent class of farmers, horti
culturists and merchants, who
by energy and perseverence had
built up nice, comfortable homes,
coming from every State and
Territory in the Union to enjoy
the benefits of our most excellent
and mild climate, are today
homeless and without the neces-
'sary sustenan.ee of life; besides
this, many of them have lost all
their clothing, household ef
fects, etc.
Not able to help themselves
or each other, and seeing the
dark clouds of despair hovering
over them, they make this ear
nest appeal to a most generous
public, who have never yet been
found backward in responding
to the call for help from their
fellow countrymen, and we most
respectfully and earnestly re
quest that every person into
whose hands this appeal may
fall take the matter in hand in
person to the end that relief may
come.
Besides the loss of homes, per
sonal effects, fruits and flowers,
the growing crops are entirely
destroyed, and hence we would
ask for contributions of garden
seeds ior fall planting, such as
cabbage, lettuce, Irish potatoes,
beets, turnips, etc., these being
profitable fall crops for this
country, . .
"We, ask for contributions of
provisions, clothing, farm tools
and money, as may be most con-"
venient for donors.
Send all contributions to the
Chairman of the Alvin Relief
Committee Alvin Texas, who
willreceipt for same and conduct
a fair distribution among the
needy,
Speedy action is urgently re
quested as the only means of
preventing great suffering.

The above has .all the essen
tials of a meritorious call. The
names of nearly all the signers,
including the mayor, aldermen,
bank cashier and the editors of
the Commoner and the Sun are
found to be genuine in business
and newspaper directories.-
Galveston has thus far been
regarded the sole sufferer worthy
of aid, but -there are others and
Alvin's appeal has such genuine
ness in its tone -that it should re
ceive a reasonable share of the
nation's charity.
We publish, this notice by re
quest and will announce later the
plan of collection when matured.
