A Vetera CaiffkU
Editor JIeCIure(is a pretty old politi
cal birdbat he teems' te have fallen a
victim , according te his own accouht,'te
the trick of the soptemore hand of young
Governer Fattisen. Mr. McClure was
an advocate of the election of the gov
ernor, and the latter called upon the
editor, as the editor says, a few days
after the election, and proposed te confer
about his cabinet and the general policy
of his administration. " Men and meas
ures were freely discussed and advice
frankly given when asked for." Ne
doubt Mr. McClure put in a fer
vid pretest against Cassidy's selection
as attorney general, though he does
net say se. "We se judge because Cassidy
is McClure's bete noir, and it was his
appointment by the governor that con
verted Editor McClure from his political
friendship jte political j; enmity towards
the candidate ne"had supported. The

meajaxas; rEoUter McClere the 'ether
day submitted te be interviewed by,a
reporter of the New Yerk Herald'
concerning his view of the po
litical situation in Pennsylvania,
and his present trouble comes from
that exhibition of weakness as we may
term itJaceadjter Vho can talk
daily through nis own paper is hardly
wise te let a reporter talk for him in
anetber.fi )8tlll Editor McClure does net
seem te have suffered from reportorial
Inaccuracy, as se many of the unhappy
interviewed de.ft 'Editor 'McClure, being
an experienced bird, knew hew te secure
the printing of his words as he wanted
them te appear, and no doubt revised
carefully the copy or the proof. What
he is reported te have said in the
Herald he did say ; and that Governer
Pattlienhad premised te recommend the
abolition of the offices of recorder and
of sealer of weights and measures ; that
en the contrary he had sent te the Senate
for confirmation the names of his own
friends fp.rthesfy offices ; that the Senate
refuijbi'flfi'nB them, and that i'then
Pattison," seeing' the mistake 'he had
made, did what he should have done at
first ;" he demanded-the abolition of the
offices.
Through the Harrisburg Patriot the
governor upon seeing this statement of
his quondam friend McClure, presented
te the public a short letter addressed te
him by Editor McClure from the office
of theTiincs en Nev, 20, 1882, which
runs tfius : fj
MyDeak Govbrkeb : Upen reflection,
I think you were right in the suggestions
te appoint a recorder at once and an Inde
pendent Republican, and I was wrong in
suggesting delay for legislative) action. I
write merely te say that upon full consid
eration I think your suggestion entirely
Apparently, that is an expression of
Editor" McClure's approval of "the gev
erner's appointments of a new recorder
and sealers of weights and measures as
seen as he took his seat ; an act which
he appears te have explicitly condemned
in his denunciation of the governor in
the Herald.
And hew does Editor McClure explain
this apparent inconsistency ? Simply
thus : He admits the letter ; but be says
that in the interview had in the editorial
s inctumftbatilayi after1 'the1 election,
when he undertook te start the governor
straight en his official path, he " urged
that it was important for the adminis
tration te (Start.nwitlrsthe boldest de
mand for the abolition of all needless
and oppressive offices .without attempting
te fill them." a The governor and he had
already agreed, he declares, that among
the first of (the former's official duties
must be efforts te abolish the office of
sealer of weights and measures, and te
repeal the odious features of the record -ership.
The governor suggested that the
repeal might be aided by the appoint
ment of an Independent Republican of
high character and qualifications, te
which the editor then dissented ; but the
" day following, McClure believed that
the governor might be right in the prop prep
osition te appoint an Independent He"
publican te the recerdership, at the same
time that he demanded the repeal of the
offensive features of the office, and he
wrote the letter before quoted."
Mr. McClure seeks te walk away from
his letter upon - the' statement that he
only approved the filling of the offices te
be vacated, . provided, the governor ac-
companiea.rtneirrtappeintmenc with a
demand ferrthe abolition of the offices,
and this be declares th-governor well
understood but nevertheless in contempt
of his pledge; Ht the governor made a
cowardly and disreputable effort te
transfer the plunder, efthe offices te his
personal following,' without one word in
favor of then: abolition ;" and only made
a virtue of jHeceaait ,wiie ,thejJ5enate
would net c6nfirmxliis men".
Which1 may be possible. The governor
may hare deceived h worthy and trust
ful McClure and, meant te be vicious,
when his appearance' was' virtuous ; but
unfortunately for ! Mr.McClure Ub does

. -Editor Beadlex, of. the .Wilkes
barre Recerd, has been visited by a dele
gation of liquor sellers and threatened
with their vengeance because his news
paper sides with an association that, as
we understand it, has noether purpose
than te make theliquer sellers obey the
law that licenses them. Editor Bradley
can well afford te have the ill-favor of
sucti unreasonable men. As we have
often pointed out, respectable and intel
ligent liqaer sellers will find it their profit
asvell as their pleasure te obey the law
and te compel everybody In their busi
ness itef de the same. They live by the
lawjand under its protectien.1 If a man
gets drunk en their premises by tee free
patronage of their bars and begins te
smash things, they are very quick te ap
peal te the law and te the protection of
its officers. They must expect te conform
te its regulations; and if the "Wilkes
barre Becerd, like ether well regulated
newspapers and tavern keepers, has come
te jfully recognize this, it only performs
the proper functions of legitimate jour
nalism. Mr. Arthur has gained the esteem
of jthe country and its confidence in his

The Time, " Editor's explanation
letter te tne Governer.
OfJflS
In this morning's Times, Cel. McClure
after republishing portions of the inter
views with himself and with Charles
Emery Smith in the New Yerk Herald of
Sunday, and the letter written by himBelf
te Governer Pattison, makes editorial re
joinder as fellows :
" The foregoing letter from Mr. McClure
is correctly given, audits publication is no
violation of trust ; but the attempt of the
governor te convey the Impression that
the letter advised the course he subse
quently adopted is as discreditable te his
professed appreciation of truth and fair
ness as his action iu regard te the record recerd
ership and sealer of weights and measures
is discreditable te his professed devotion
te reform. If he had told the whole truth
he would have condemned himself ; by
withholding a most material part of the
truth te convey a false impression te the
publie, he must stand doubly condemned.
" Tne wnele truth is simply this, and
we challenge contradiction of the state
ment : A few days after the election last
tail Governer if attisen called at the limes
office and proposed te confer about bis
cabinet and the general policy of his ad
ministration. Mr. McClure bad net seen
or had communication with him for six
months previous. Fattisen was told again,
Shathewell knew before, that Mr. Mc
luxe had no favors te ask at his hands ;
no friends te put in place ; no enemies te
hinder In promotion. Men and measures
were freely discussed, and advice
frankly given when asked for.
Beth entirely agreed that among his
first official duties must be an effort te
abolish the office of sealers of weights and
measures and repeal the odious features
of the recerdership. He suggested that
the repeal might be aided by the appoint
ment of an Independent Republican of
high eharacter.and qualifications, te which
Mr. McClure dlsssented, and urged that
It was important for the administration te
start wlth.the boldest demand for the ab
olition"' of -all needless and oppressive
offie&t without attempting te fill them.
The day following, Mr. McClure believed
that tbw .'governor might be right in the
preposition te appoint an Independent
Republican te 'the 'recerdership, at the
same time that he demanded the repeal of
me offensive feature ej ine epice, ana he
wrote the letter before quoted."

,The recent gale m Missouri seems te
have been terribly destructive. In Kan
sas; City the day throughout had been
stormy. .Frem' early mbrnhif heavy
showers fell at mtervakVaecempanieaat
times by gusty winds.' At about 4:30 the
clouds which had been especially threat
ening along the western horizon, cath
ered densely ever and a little west of
Wyandotte. Out of them grew a dark,
funnelsbaped cloud, which started north
ward acrets the farming lands west of
Wyandotte and crossing the Missouri
river pasted into the country northeast of
the city. About ten minutes later
a second - clead formed near the
same place where the first originated,
and followed the course of the Kaw
river te the Missouri and down the latter
te Randelph Point, five miles, where it
seems te have disappeared in the river,"
cnrewing nuge volumes et i water te a
great height. This cloud did very little
damage, but was followed a few minutes
later by a third and mere terrific one, which
laid waste buildings and trees and fences
in its path across the southern portion of
the city. It seems te have started near
the place of the preceding ones, southwest
ei itne city, and touching a portion of the
suburb of Armstrong moved in an easterly
oeuroe, tending Blightly northward across
the city.
Death and Destruction.
At the stock yards the exchange was
unroofed and ether buildings damaged or
destroyed. Then, passing en. it struck
the summit of the bluff. Moving south
erly it passed along between Fifteenth and
eixteentn streets, veering slightly at times
until it reached Main street. Then the
course changed somewhat te. the north
east. When it had traveled as far north
ward as Seventh street its advance was
checked. The entire progress from the be
ginning ei tne nrst te tne end of tne tnird
cloud occupied about half an hour. Sev
eral people were killed and many injured.
Workmen are clearing the streets and
patching up houses capable of repair.
Confusion still prevails and complete lists
of wounded and of losses are net procur
able. Following is the latest report of the
killed : Willie Selben, Mrs. David Reid
and Jeseph Burns. The injured reported
are : James JUrummeuu, internally, and
very serious ; H. Zeebrecht, dangerously,
internally ; Mrs. Trainer, about the
knees ; Mrs. S. Zerie, ankle broken : Mrs.
Themas J. Dye, dangerously hurt, inter
nally ; Mrs. Wm. MeClellau, internally ;
Mrs. Mary Jacksen's 3 year old child
(colored) fatally, internally; Arthur
Whitney, aged twelve years, danger
ously about the head ; Mrs. Cyn
thia Davis, terribly cut about the
head and face : Frank Jenkins, badly cut
about the head and face ; two children of
Jeseph Jacksen, one and four years, net
expected te live! Mr. Jacksen was ill in
bed when the reef was blown from ever
bis bead. Ed. Wheeler's child was badly
hurt. Capt. Jee Burns, an old beatmau,
was standing by the river side when he
was struck by the flying timbers of -his
house, and had his neck broken and head
crushed. Willie Siaben was killed by the
overturning of .a wagon at the circus
grounds. Mrs. Reed was blown against a
tree and had her neck broken.
It was reported that two empleyes of
Ueles' circus were kuleu, but tbis is net
confirmed. Probably definite returns will
reduce the estimate of damage te property
te less than 9250,000. Tne losses are
almost countless, but generally In amounts
from $100 te $5,000, as the destruction
was net iu the best part of the city. Ne
reports are received from out of town, as
the telegraph wires are net yet restored.
The damage in the country is probably
less than apprehended from the meagre
reports obtainable last night.
It is new thought that all the injured
will recover. Professer Greenwood, su
perintendent of publie schools, received
painful bruises and had an ankle sprained.
Mr. Steen had most of his clothing tern
from his body. Many singular freaks of
the elements are recorded. In a house en
McGee street, a lady was sitting at a piano
in the second story when the wind lifted
the upper part of the house and left her
seated in the open air unhurt and
the instrument undisturbed. The
English Lutheran church, corner of
Oak and Fourteenth, a brick building,
was completely wrecked, the walls seem
ing literally te melt and fall Inte the earth.
But fifteen miputes .before a large Sunday
school gathered in the building had been
dismissed. Had the scholars been within
the church the less of life must have been
fearful. At Fifteenth and Campbell, Jes.
Ryan, a grocer, with his family, was at
supper in the basement beneath bis store,
when the wind struck the building, blow
ing away everything above the ground
fleer. Nene of the family were hurt. On
the west side a gentleman sitting at the
window of a residence next the storm was
blown thieugh the window en the oppe
site Bias ei me room inre me area oeiew
and though somewhat hurt went te the as
sistance of ethers.'
Destruction In tbe Country.
Most of the. telegraph wires are down
and news from the country is very.meagre.'
In a general Way it is stated that the town
of Oronage was totally destroyed and
thirty-three persons were injured and six
killed. A relief train, was started from
Jeplln, but it could net proceed owing te
the, railroad track being covered 'with
fallen timber, and it was obliged te return.
Further efforts are being made te reach
the place by rail and telegraph. At Lib
erty, Missouri, several houses were de de
streyed, or badly damaged, and In the
adjacent country several farm houses and
ether buildings were blown down, fences
were destroyed and trees uprooted.
Captain Jehn Thompson was severely
injured and his horse was killed
while passing .a barb that was blown
down. At Missouri City, en the Missouri
river, the steamer Bright Light was tern
from her moorings, blown across the river
and ledged On a sand bar. 'Near Pattons Pattens
burg tbe storm was very severe, leveling'
several houses and blowing down trees,
fenees, etc J Fragments of houses and
pieces of clothing were blown into Pattons Pattens Pattons
burgfrem across v the 'Grand 'river, thus
indicating that .'considerable destruction
was done en the south side' of that stream.
The destruction' about Wyandotte is con
siderable. Several farmhouses were blown
down. In one of them, Mrs. Reid. who was
killed bv beine blown aeainst a tree, lived.
P. M. Matthews, with a two-year-old child'
in his arms, was blown tnree hundred feet
through the air and dropped unhurt. Mrs.
Smith and" 'five ethers of a family were
sitting in a small farm heuse.1 The build
ing was lifted up 'abd carried ever their
heads. Nene were1 hurt. William Dud
leys house was blown ever, caught fire
ana the wreck was .consumed.: An appeal
for aid has beea received from -Muaeie, a
railroad station twelve miles from Wyan Wyan
dette,indicatin that the disaster is wide
spread. A reporter drove for several miles
through the country along the track of the
storm 'and found everything within its
confines swept away: Many farmhonnen
are gene 'and several persons have been
killed. -The cyclone passed ever an extent
of territory felly fifteen miles in length.

dredeaassef '80 and 1 leaf were sold by
Lancaster packer and hers. ar reports
of a few sales of ' te' cigar saaaufaetar-'
era. These early pnrehaMS of the last

fine quality and low price of the goods,
which it is thought will Increase in price
after it has been sweated ad prepared for
manufacturing purposes.

There are a few very geed crops yet in the

20 cents for wrappers, but the average
prise has net been above 10, with seconds

In tbe course of a week or two all of the

figmns will be taken by the dealers, and
taatwhieh la held above Its market value
will have te be packed by the farmers
themselves, as it will deteriorate greatly if
allowed te remain in bulk much longer.
We, hear of one farmer (and there are
probably ethers), who holds airthe tobacco
grown by him for the past three years. He
thinks his goods worth mere than the
I dfbaleVs offer him, and se holds en te them
Llbr' a rise." He forgets that tbe nimble
sixpense is better than the slew shilling.
. The low prices at which the crop of 1883
lass bes sold saggssts the propriety of the
tobacco growers reorganizing the Tobacco
