Yindication Of Mr.. ParneIl.

Editor Washington Star: feel myself
called upon to state that Home Ruler
Shaw" grossly wrongs Mr.. Parnell when
he declale s that the: latter is following
"a programme marked out for him across
the Atlantic" Irish patriots who are
themselves out of harms way were anx-
ious for MIR. Parnell to commit himself
to their ways but he was not the man
to endanger his constitutional agitation
and his own plans for its success by any
foolishness of the sort. This have from
authority as reliable as Mr.. Parnell him
self. Mr.. Parnell when he was here accept
ed financial aid and favors for his people
as he now accepts the sympathies of
Frenehmen aud EDglishmen Of every
phase of political opinion. 1t is not his
place to repel Bradlaugh, Victor Hugo,
or any other party who extends to his
just cause their friendly aid. Manifestos
of the character of Mr.. Shaw's are to be
expected from the narrow mindIac,1i and
deserters from Ire.and's cause. Home
Rulers Bellingham and Shaw. AS it is
every Irishman's duty to vindicate the
charaetef OF the leaders OF the land reyo-
luton In Ireland, l trust you will give
these few lines place in your columns.

a TYPICAL TEXAS TRAGEDY.

Galveston Netus.


The Uvalde Hesperadn gives an ac-
count of q fatal rencounter that reads
like some of the burlesques on life in
Texas, where reighbors are represented
as shooting each other in the most anna
bic spirit The Hesper5aa's story is only
too true:
Jack Kelly, who resides in the vicinity
of the Sahibal canon, near Waresville,
came into Uvalde and surrendered to
Sheriff Patterson, stating that he had
killed, in self-defense, the Rev. J. A.. j.
Smith, on Wednesday, the 10th ult. Dir.
Kelly made the following statement in
regard to the tragedy: "Some one must
have been speaking to Mr.. Smith in re-
gard TO his having grazed sheep on
Smiths land, and he knows no other
cause would have led to the affair. When
Kelly first saw Smith the latter was in bis
buggy, following Kelly's sheep. This was
about 3 80 p. m. and Smith had been with
them about two hours. Kelly then went
back to see II the sheep were going in
the right direction of his home, and
Smith was then still with them. AS
Kelly was walking around the sheep,
Smith called to him to "hold on" They
were then about one hundred yards apart.
Kelly then sat down by small pecan
tree and there waited for Smith, who
drove up opposite within about ten feet
of Kelly, stopped his horses, placed the
reins over the dash board, saving: Good
evening, Mr.. Kelly" and pick
ing up his Winchester, which was at
his side on the buggy seat. At the same
time, Kelly arose and replied: Good
morning, Parson Smith, raisi lg his Win
chester. which had been lying across his
lap. Smith then fired and Kelly an
swered the fire. there being very brief
interval between the shots of both par
ties. Smith fired one shot from his
Winchester, and jumped out of his
buggy on the opposite side from Kelly,
and fired another shot across the buggy,
which Kelly lodged by dropping
on his knees. Kelly fred two shots
from his Winchester, which got out
of order at the second shot, ard he drew
his six shooter Smith then fired be-
tween the spokes of the hind wheels of
the buggy at Kelly, who fired twice
through the spokes of the same wheels at
Smith. Both then stepped back to the
rear of the buggy, and met at point
blank range, when Kelly fired a
shot which took effect in Smiths
breast or stomach, and as Smith step
ped back several PAGES, Kelly fired his
last shot as Smith fell, the shot taking
effect in Smiths head Both parties to
the untoward affair enjoyed the respect
and esteem of the community, and have
means. Had not the practice of carry
ing weapons been in vogue in this sec
ton this difficulty would have been
aVerted, the bullet would not have cut
the thread of minister's life, and
kind hearted man, who never before had
difficulty in his life, would not have
had to take that life.

Charles O'Conor does not take a
hopeful view of our future, nor does he
think that we ought to be interfering
with Great Britain in her attempts to
ceerce Ireland. lie recently said. "The
measureless bounty of Providence to our
great and fertile country has enabled us
thus far TO endure steadily progressing
political evils. But l am of opinion
that every American patriot haFing any
capacity for public usefulness can en-
ploy himself more meritoriously in
checking the growth of governmental
evils at home than in srasmodic inter,
ferences with the harvest of official
crime by those employed in robbing the
British Islands, India and Southern
Africa"

The service of writs in all countries is
unpopular, but it is not in Ireland alone
that public opinion asserts itself in q
vigorous shape against it. A legal func-
tionary with his clerk went to serve a
writ in a village known as Matella delos
Canos, in Salamanca. The visit was
met with popular demonstration. The
men, as in Ireland, kept aloof, but the
women gathered in force to oppose the
legal invasion. The officers tookrefuge in
house, but 10 brief time the windows
were all smashed by the irate ladies. An
tempt to force the doors having been
unsuccessful, petroleum was suggested,
whereupon the imprisoned garrison got
out of window at the back of the
house. They were holly pursued for
twenty minutes, and had covered two
miles when they were run down. The
clerk became unconscious and after.
ward died, and his superior was half
dead when rescued by the police.

One of the difficulties that besets the
effort to secure the peace the Gillian
Government has conquered lies in the
fact that if il retains as indemnity the
country to the RorthWard of Chill and
south of the river Los, which contains
the nitrate beds, out of the management
of which the war originated, Bolivia
will be shut out from the Pacific Ocean.
AS Chill undoubtedly wishes to make
peace which viii be more than truce,
it is not desirable to leave BOLIVIA with q
standing grievance. Money indemnity
is out of the question, and the only pos
sible solution seems to be to furnish Bo-
livia with an ocean hRrborage by giving
her another slice of Peruvian soil. This
is hard on Peru; but for Chill the policy
has double advantage, inasmuch as it
would interpose strip of Bolivian terri
tory between herself and the more
formidable of her allied antagonists.

Verify, the British Government is
descending to decidedly contemplate
methods in dealing with the Land League
agitation. There is no doubt that letters
to the Leagues officers have been opened,
photographed and then forwarded-the
exercise of governmental power which
only can be justified in the presence of
graver emergencies than existed or are
likely to exist. And now the Home
Secretary has been detected in an attempt
to faint Mr.. Parnell with Fenianism,
through the presence of Dir. James
Stephens in Paris at the present time.
The truth is that Mr.. Stephens has been
there several months in an enfeebled
condition, and more occupied in mend
ing his ilIhealth than in promoting
Fenianism. If, as Is alleged by their
opponents. the Land League leaders
have made. some blunders, the govern
ment appears to be engaged in an earn
est effort to eclipse them, and 10 be like
ly to fully succeed.

Governor Murray, of Utah, says the
time has come for uprooting Mormon
ism. 1t came twenty years ago. But
the institution has been spreading all the
time. The United States Congress pass
ed a law against bigamy, but bigamy.
double. treble, quadruple and more,
exists all oyer Utah, and is spreading
into Iowa and other places. The inge-
NOUS foundation of polygamy is woven
into religious creed. and the Bible is
quoted by the Mormons to sustain it.
Now, the trouble with Mormonism is the
the difficulty of legislating or shooting a
religious belief out of the heads of a
people. That polygamy is demoralizing
or crushing to the society in which it
exists-that it degrades and humiliates
the women-there can be no doubt.
Bigamy can be punished. BY enforcing
the laws rigidly in State and Territory
in regard to it the abomination may be
broken up; but so far the laws have
been successfully defied in Utah. Gen.
Garfeld's friends report that he will at
tack Mormonism in his inaugural and
pursue it in his administration.

Chief Justice Chalmers on Negro
Suffrage.

In the Norih american ReUleU for
March Chief Justice Fl. H. Chalmers,
of Mississippi. has paper on the effects
of negro suffrage. He discusses the
subject with judicial fairness. he be-
lieves that the blacks right to vote, as
a race, is as fixed and irreversible as
their freedom, and the fifteenth amend
ment to the National Constitution is no
more likely to be repealed than the
thirteenth" While freedom of the
blacks is thus acknowledged, and their
right to vote unquestioned, there are
grave difficulties in the case where the
social inferior threatens, at every cleo.
ton, to become the political superior.
That Unborn sense of superiority which
every white man feels, that instructive
recognition of his own inferiority that
every negro evinces in his every action, !"
will be eradicated in the Southern States
when it no longer exists in the Northern
States, and not sooner. He questions the
theory that perfect political equality can
coexist with social inferiority Deepen
dent solely upon differences of race.
Thousands of honest, patriotic men in
the South are bordering this race prob
lem with the purpose to work it out on
the plane of equal political rights for
black and white. 1t would be the
heighth of madness for the national
government to again interpose for the
purpose of adjusting these questions in
favor of the blacks. They should be
left to be settled by the people affected
by them. ''In this work." the Judge
says, ''the North must aid and not OBJ
struct. They must understand, once
for all, that the Anglo Saxon race will
not be governed by the African, and, if
they are wise, they will content them
selves with aiding those who propose
that the African shall be wisely, justly
and fairly governed by the Anglo
Saxon"
