McOlure given te a New Yerk Jferdld reporter ft different deduction fmm i!fi Intervlew with Carlisle fttid Morrison, from that which he has com. munlcated te his own newspaper, In which he Insisted that he was firmly Impressed with the conviction that Wat Wat tersen speke by authority of Carlisle and Morrison In threatening te leave the Democratic party If It did net proclaim itself for the tariff for revenue only at Chicago. Te the Jlcrdia reporter, Mr. McOlure says that "the free traders will doubtless carry the caucus en Tuesday next, but I think they will be defeated In the Heuse, and I should think the convention would make a delivcrance In favor of Randall; in which event I don't belleve the ethers would belt." That Is un accurate view of the situa tion as we regard it, and If Mr. McClure badat first se stated the Impression which he derived from his consultation with Carlisle and Morrison at Washlngten.we would net have had occasion te differ with him. Morrison, Car lisle and the Democratic congress men who particularly sympathize with them in their tariff views, undoubtedly desire a free trade declara tion In Congress and the national con ventien, as Is sufficiently evidenced by their support of the Morrison bill, which is n. sten In the direction of their aim. We de net think that any one can fairly cbargn with felly Democratic statesmen who deslre the party te be placed In line with the free trade sentiment, toward which the opinion of the country Is sensibly growing; nor with ethers who think that present agitation of the subject Is unnecessary, since it is a ques tlen that will be properly settled by the logic of events. The whole issue in the party is as te the expediency of thn present agitation of the mntter nnd the degree and mnnner of tariff reduction. The question will be settled by the national convention, and te the decision which It makes, every member of the party can yield without scruple. "We have net believed Mr. Wattersen'a de claratlen that prominent Democrats would refuse te thus yield, because It chnrced them with a felly which they are tee wise te exhibit. i m Titesk who Bay that free trade Deme cratsmrry their devotion te their Idea se far ns te desire te have a declaration In Its behalf put Inte the party platform In a way tha will, In their opinion, cause the party te remain out of power for certainly feur.and probably eight, year?, attnbute te such Democrats a short sightedness which falls te see that freer trade Is likely within eight years te be se strongly demanded by public sentiment and interest, that no party will be found te contend against It. The Republicans will net fall te detect the sentiment, which will be paten t,if it exist?. Having maintained themselves in power by pre tecting tin; Industries of the country when they needed protection, they will maintain themselves lu the government by proclaiming the free trade, which Is then demanded by the country's inter ests ; nnd se by a very consistent nnd logical evolution they will stay en top. What will then be the appearance of the Democratic leaders who, by their precipitation, have upset their political pet? m i It does net uproar that Mr. Arthur and his followers are hunting delegates wllh a brass band : nor are they se openly nnd unblushlngly using the federal patronage te renomlunte him as it was used, for instance, by Jehn Sher man te promote his presidential aipira tlens In 1880. But it Is true, neverthe less, that when you scratch an office holder you find an Arthur man ; there are a great many of this class and the most of them are active, Influential and well trained politicians. It Is net se certain, either, that the growing candidncy of Mr. Blaine nnd the mam fest purpose te make him the favorite will net drive the ether candidates into a united opposition te him and the natural support of, Arthur as thn least objectionable man. The president's chances for renomlnatleu are qulte as geed as Mr. Blaine's. It would be interesting te knew hew large a fund the county treasury has en baud from time te time, who has tin use of It nnd what part the cenalderatiuu of tills matter will play in the make up of combinations for the approaching Re publican primaries. Were the facts fully exposed the people would understand better the necessity for every geed pub lic Interest of electing men te the office of county commissioner pledged te no higher tax rate than Is absolutely necces sary te meet the expenses of the county and te pay off a moderate portion of the debt. The policy which levys the tax te raise money for the favored depositories and the political speculators must be abandoned. The Istelliehnckh would have abundant opportunity te call "the same men feels one day and wise men uiu next," as the Philadelphia Times accuses It of doing, if It followed the different declarations of the editor of the Times en different days us te the nntnlens of theso men. Cel. MC dure get up from that Washington dinner of his te Carllsle and Morrison te dcclare thnt they meant te kick the Dem Dem ecratlc party te pieces If they did net get a free trade declaration from the Chicago convention. After a little re re pentance he does net think they mean te de any kicking. The Times needs te apologize te itsreadcrs.whem it deceived mere man te vu " " in a late A TEXAS COW BOY. uev in: uiku witu ins noers en. Mn. James R.

" We are in sym pathy with the sentiment and have mero than ence declared that Mr. Kiteu, In his long public career, has exhibited a most notably consistent record In sup pert of sound principles of government. The man who.theugh often tried.ls never found wanting, is a man whom the Democratic party cm tie te with the surest confidence and reliauce. A New YeitK IhraUl reporter has thought it worth while te gather the opinions of Philadelphia editors upon things political, and llnds a remarKaeie degree of uuanlmlty among them in favor of President Arthur as the Eepub llcan candidate for reelection, Messrs. McClure and Slngerly speaking espe cially in warm terms in his cemmenda tien. This is about the only thing in which these two gentlemen are known te agree, and their agreement should set tle the matter for the Republicans Mr Slngerly Is wi'dly for free trade nnd McClure as wildly fee protection that tills matter is open for debate. se Gi:n.

If Hen Thompson had net been killed the ethnr night In San Antonie, Texas, he probably would have been finished in Dal. las. He intended te go thore te ntteud the convention of cowmen, and, as he was morally certain te cot into trouble, it is also certain that he would have bad no quarter. Dezens of oattle men and ethers new in Dallas, carae with the expectation that they would have n battle with Thompson, and the word had goue round thai if he indulged in nny of hit eustom eustem eustom ery pranks he should be leught te death. The determiucd efforts of several unknown citizens el Antonie who, standing high ever Thompsen'n head, tilled his body with bullets, spared the cowmen the disagree, able duty of killing him during conven tion weck.

When the oattle raisers met lu Austin, two years age, lien kept the cntire crowd ea the vorge of battle for turee or four days, but no bleed was shed. On the list day of the convention he drank heavily, and when the delegates were indulging in a farewell banquet he jumped into tbe dining hall withau unearthly war whoop, nourishing a big revolver m eacu hand. Tbe attack was se sudden that thn cowmen stampoded, seme jumping out of windows, otbers crawling under tables, and still ethers dashing madly into the street. Very few of thorn were nruied, and the well known desperation of the man threw them Inte a momentary panic Five niiuutcs later the bauqneters wcre going around with tears in their eyes, bemoaning their luek, and wishing they could have had a soceud's warning of the terror's approach. When the banquet hall was cleared Thompson steed at ene end with a rovelvcr in oaeh hand, and emptied bin weapeus, two shots at a time, at tbe plasties en the table.", bicakiug about half of them. After this experience tbe cowmen determined te be ready for turn, and many of them came te the meeting this year expecting te have trouble with htm, for he eent word early that he would be there. Bui Thompson had been a berder des parade ever since the war, aurl his victims numbered fully a score. He was well known in all the cities of Texas, in many western raining camps, and along all the cattle trails, ills parents nre English people, who came te this country just before the war, when Den was a lad of 10. seen after only te find n let of dead and dying horses.

It is n pity te spoil no charming a lomauce, nnd It is almost oeld bloniled te declare that it Is cut out of the whole oleth, yet such Is the oase. Harry Paoker's widow who is still living, was a Miss LoeUhard, whose father and undo were associated with Asa Packer in busN H08S when Harry, the youthful levor, was an infant. Rebert Loekhard, Mrs Packer's undo, has lein: bceu ene of the wealthiest citizens of llethlohem. Miss Loekhard was reared lu the family of her undo, Ellsha Wilbur, of Ilethleheni, where nlse Harry Paoker bearded whlle nltendlng Lehigh university.

When the drive occurred he ami his brother Hilly nlwa; b went along, and always get into trouble. In 180S, when Abilene was the Bbipniuc peiut for Texas cattle. Thompson arrived there with a herd, and the same night undertook te "run the town,',' as he called it. William Hickok, better known as Wild Bill, was marshal et Abilene, and hearing of Thompson's move rnents, he recruited a party aud attacked him. Thompson had several backers, aud in the ruuniug Are that was kept up for mere thnu an hour, several men ou both sides were killed and wounded. The next meruinc Wild Dill organized a pesjc aud chased Thompson and his lricuds into the fudlan territory, keeping oleso en their trail, and allowing them no time te rest or Nleep. Thompson dually escaped, but be never appeared in Abilene again while Wild Hill was marshal. The uext year the drive ouded at Ells Ells eorth, Kansas, whero Ren and his brother Hilly determined te recover seme of their lest prestige. They captured the tewu immediately en their arrival, aid wheu the eheriff remonstrated they shot him dead. Finding the place tee het for them, they left the town the next day, closely pursued by a posse, but the brothers, who were magnidoently armed with Winchesters and rerelvers.kept their pursuers at bay, and escaped in safety te Texas. Although Hilly Thompson was arrested for this murder tome time after ward and taken back te Kansas, he was nover punished for it. After killing a number of men down en the border, Thompson appeared in Austin in 187-1, and, provoking a quarrel with the owner of a tbeatre there named Wilsen, shot him dead. This was a desperate battle, a dozen men taking part, and weapons of every description, from a shot gun te a bowle knife, being used. Much of Thompson's deviltry was oem mittcd in a spirit of fun. Going by the Raymond house in Austin ene night, he noticed a number et guests en the piazza fanning themselves, ' Let's have seme fun," said he (e his companion, and, walkiug behlud ene of the strangers, he II red his rovelvor twice iu rapid succession iute his chair. The man was hit by ene of the bullets, but was net fatally hurt. Iu the excitement Thompson escaped. Once when In partnership with a nau named l.orraine iu the gambling business at Austin Thompson, who had drawn moie meney from the bank than was due him, was turned off when he asked for mero. Drawing his six shooter he put ene bullet through the check rack, smaiihed the glebo of the hazard dealer witli another, and shot off a gas burner. Hearing that a woman named Fannie Kelly hail speken of him in uncomplimen tary terms, he visited her at her home ami opened the intervlew by sheeting the keys out of her piano, shattering the mir. rers aud snuffing the lamps with pistol balls.

Ill feeling has existed between the two women for a year or mero past, Mrs. Rees accusing Mrs. Simmons of enticing her husband away from their home and harboring him, aud Mrs. Rees did net rccclve a very cordial wolcemo. After being seated about llve minutes a boated discussion took place between the two wemen, which ended in Mrs. Rees pulling a six-shooter revolver from her pocket and aiming it at herenemy.' "Thore, take that, you mean thing, you," she exclaimed, at the sarae time pulling the trigger and firing. The aim was a bad one, however, the ball going fni off its mark and striking a young man nnmrd Eli, who was hitting uear by ami a vihiter at the heuse at the time. ' Oh, I am shot," cried EH. "Ge for n doetor, quick," and fell te the fleer from his chair. He lingered in great agony for about an hour, when bodied. "New you soe what you have dene," cried Mrs. Simmons. "Y'cs, I de soe," roplied Mrs. Rees, "and I am sorry it's net you instead of the visi tor." The nlarra was at ence given and the neighbors from the surrounding country Hocked te the soene of the tragedy in great numbers. Mrs. ltecs was taken Inte custody nnd was brought te Wilkesbarre. She told the constable that she wasserry that the ball missed its aim and lilt the jeung mau, hut she was in such au exclted state of mind that she could uet steady heiself. She said Mrs. Sim mons had been the cause of ruining their happy home and that she could no longer icstrniu herself. She had from time te time warned Mrs, Simmons that if she persisted in dittoing her husband away from his home she would suffer for It, " but she paid no heed te the warning, nnd as a lest resort, in a tit of desporatlen, I raade up my mind te get evon with her. I leve my husband nnd I think he loves me, but the fasolnntleus of thnt woman led him te forget his obligations te me entirely. I am willing te take the couse quonces, let thorn be' what they will.

Sunday iu this village has bceu n day et marked solemnity and the eveuti Indicat ed pretty olearly that If seme determined ellert is net m.tdn by the company te re cover the remains of the 152 victims, the miners surviving will make the attempt en their own account. Rev. Charles AHhley preached en Sunday morning In the I'nlen church, the sceue of the indignation meet ing Filday night, and addressed selemn words of waruiug te Ins congregation agalust any lawless demonstration. The stormy weather of yesterday had passed away and the day was bright and pleasant, lu striking contrast te the uni versal gloom pervading evety quarter of the village Facing his congregation, which was sul aud tearful, Mr. Ashley said he had Heard with regret of the vie lent sentiment which had bjim niauifosted ou Friday night at the indignation meet ing. He thought it was a redaction upon the Intelligence of the white men of Pocehoutas that a negre had bceu the only man present who had speken sensibly upon the rash project of forcing an en trance into tbe mine. "Standing here, with mero thau a htiudre I bodies of your dead relations aud friend -i uuder my fcet, I tell you that you have been uuwise. Ged will uet prosper the village where such a lawless spirit prevails. 'ou mustlearn te leek at this alUictien iu a preper light. Ged knows your burden Is heavy and Ued will aid you te bear It." Mr. Ashley then procecded te urge that no elf irts be made te interfore with the company. "Kven If we de net credit thorn witli Chrlstiau fool feel ing, all practical men mas' admit that they have au interest in oxtiuguiehmg tle I'ue in the mine." The sermeu was listened te with ole.so attention by the miners prexent, but it i.s net boheved that they took the warning clesely te heart. Sunday afternoon the meu congregated araiiud the mouth of the main drill te tbe mine aud for mero thau llve hours were closely eugaged in consul tation. Tne strongest element which is urging the epening of the burning mine Is composed of women. Yeung girls, principally daughters and sweethearts of tbe vietuus, are continually circulating among the men and by taunts nud plead ings endeavoring te Induce thorn te make an effort te enter the mine. About sun down a hardy lass, tall and of maguillcent physique, sprang upon a horse trough standing near the fau house aud exclaim cd : " I have a lat'ier lu th..t mine, boys ; he Is dead aud I kuew it, but I leve him aud I want te bury hU bjdy decently. I will marry any man in this crowd who will lead a puty into the mite. nils singular appeal met with no response, although the girl, whose name is Mollie Merris, is qulte a bolle in thn village and tbe object of admiration am -ig mero thau a score et young meu. The desperate longing for the b j.iies of the dead has In uowise been decreased by tbe failure of thoattempt te enter the mines yesterday. The inhabitants npparautly cannot bring thomselvcs te contemplate calmly Um dread reality that there is absolutely 1 human jiewer which eau enter the min.r f I'oeohontns and resoue the bodies.
