The railroads have been greatly
abused as soulless corporations that
were grinding the life blood out of the
people. The great Galveston disaster
has, however, revealed the fact that
the managers of these corporations
have hearts which are susceptible at
being touched by the cries of distress.
Their trains were placed at tho dis-
posal of all those engaged in reliof
work on the coast. Provisions and
supplies were carried forward freo of
charge, committees from ivory *ee-
tlon of the state were furnished trans-
portation, and when the refugees from
Galveston began to pour into Houston
and it became a serious qu stion what
was to be done with them the :. : i :irla
solved the problem by fu n. ' ing
transportation without charge' t > all
who wished to leave and to any tint
they wished to go. Grand Master An-
derson infoxms us that but for this
fact Houston would have baen overrun
with people who had to be, cared for,
and that suffering and distress would
have been largely increased as well as
the cost of meeting conditions which
would have prevailed. Bro. Anderson
desires us, through theco columns, to
thank the different roads for the groat
service rendered his committee at
Houston. If it were possible we would
be glad to see parallel columns, in one
of which should appear the acta of
these railroad corporations in a time
of great calamity and distress, and in
the other the amount contributed by
the little two-by-four demagogues who
are always trying to array tho preju-
dices of the masses against any and
every kind of enterprise.—From tho
Texas Odd Fellow.
