Secretary Of State McGrath and
Col. Joseph Pulitzer have had some
correspondence about the alleged po-
litical detection Of the Post Dispatch.
The following extract from Mr.. Pu-
1itzer's letter on the subject we are
permitted to copy: -
ssDon't be mistaken. This paber
is going to be precisely as indepen-
dent and anti-Republican as it has
been for years-certainly for more
than q year past there has been nc
change. We are fighting the asses
and blunders of the Democratic party
only and not what is good in it,"
II so the Post should give its OWL
editor hi, that is, If he claims to bt

The Longest Speech ON Record.

That made by Mr.. De Cosmos in
the Legislature Of British Columbia,
when a measure was pending, the
passage of which would have taken
from great many settlers their lands.
is believed to have been the longest
speech on record. De Cosmos was
In hopeless minority. This job had
been held back until the eve az he
close of the session. Unless legisia-
zion WINS takcn before noon of the
given day, the act of the coniscation
would fail. The day before the ex-
piration of the limitation, De Cosmos
got the floor about 10 a. M, and be-
gan speech against the bill. Its
friends cared little, for they supposed
that by one or two O'Clock he would
be through, and the bill could be put
on its passage.
One O'Clock came and De Cosmos
was speaking still; he hadn't more
than entered upon his subject. At
two O'Clock he was saying, sin the
second place" At three O'Clock, he
produced a fearful bundle Of evil
dence, and insisted on reading it. He
was going to speak until the next
noon and kill the bill. For awhile
they made merry over it, but as it
came to dusk, they began to get
alarmed. They tried interruption,
but soon abandoned them, because
interruption afforded him chance to
digress and gain time.
They tried to shout him down, but
that gave him a breathing space, and
finally they settled down to watch the
combat between strength of will and
weakness of body. They gave him
no mercy, no adjournment for dinner,
no chance to more than wet his lips
with water, no wandering from the
subject, no sitting down..
Twilight darkened; the gas was lit
members slipped out to, dinner il
relays, and returned to sleep in squads
But De Cosmos went on with hi
speech. The Speaker, to whom b.
was addressing himself, was alternate
ly doing. snoring and trying to lool
wide awake.
4 Day dawned, and the majorit,
slipped out in squads to breakfast
and the speaker still held on. |
cannot be said that it was very logi
cal, eloquent or sustained speech
There were digressions in it, .repeti
tions in it also; but still the speake
kept on, -,
/ At last noon came to a batfled ma
|jority, livid with rage and impotency
and to single man who was trium
phant, though his voice had sunk to
husky whisper, his eyes were almos
shut, and were blcared and bloodsho
s his legs tottered under him, and hi
+ baked lips were cracked and smeare'
: with blood. De Cosmos had spoke
. Itwenty-six hours and had sawed tn
o settlers their lands.

ne>sce the death Of Hon. Jesse
James We speak Of him as Hon.
Jesse Jamss aecanse it is possible he
may not be dean get, md we should
not desire any persoualin.a raked
up in case he should still be at i,rce.
The regular semi-annual death Of
Jesse James has been 4 case for ma
tional sorrow for. some time. His
obituary has been written seven or
eight times by the faltenng hand that
pens these lines, and we are still
young.
Death has marked Mr.. James for
it's own good many times, and now
he has again been butchered to make
q Missouri holiday. The soil from
Maine to California has been drenched
with his gore, and the green grass
waves above his ashes in every por-
ton Of our great land. No man has
perished from earth 30 :ubiquitously
as Mr.. James, and no American cit-
zen has yielded up his young Life un-
der such varied circumstances.
Lay him down where the bobolink
blossoms on the sweet potato vine,
and plant him in the valley where the
pecan waves.
Born Of humble and obscure pa
rents, he rapidly rose to the proud
eminence OF Americas leading thief
and murderer. When death marked
him as his victim the Last time, hewas
- prominent man as Henry Ward
Beecher or Roscoe Conkling. His
genious took different shoot, it is
true; but he won q reputation as q
piunderer which throws the proud
achievements of our modern bank
cashiers back into cold and clammy
oblivion. Death has once more
stilled the pulse of man who, were
it not for his little sccentricities as q
human butcher and grand larceny
connoisseur, would have made an
elegant humorist or statesman.
Had he been less Of an enthaaiast,
and less radical as murderer, be
might have shone in the best society.
Had he pleaded emotional insanity
the first time he got up q. surprise
funeral, instead Of making an outlaw
Of himself, he might now be alive,
loved and respected. But he was
ignorant Of the law, and thought that
when a man murdered all the first
class passengers ON train, he would
not be dealt harshly with and ostra.
eised. That is where he committed 3
grave error. He went on from bad
to worse, and lost all respect for him
self.
Yellow fever and the james boyt
have been q great scourge to thii
country. The mortality from thes'
ssaahiAAd diseases has been frightful
Now that Jesse is dead once mort
we feel hopeful that the country car
be populated without serious delay,
Heretofore, it has been an uphill job
and such men as DR.. Haywood have
felt at times as though they would sinh
down with encouragement. But nov
there is hope again. The yellow
fever is subdued, and Jesse james
again reclines on his bier. The cen
sus should show rapid advance il
the next Eve years, and boom il
a way that win make other nations

interests will be more firmly estab-

men to drop all little things and

can be only one of two results-a
Democratic or Republican victory.
1t is not Cameron or anti Cameron,

A Pittsburg dispatch published in
the New York Times says:
The published reports of the con-
ference between Senator Cameron
and business men of Philadelphia,
in which he is alleged to have been
greatly excited, and to have intirna-
ted to them that unless they sups
ported him during the present con-
test he would devote the remainder
of his term to opposing measures in
their interest, particularly tariff
measures, awakened lively express
sion OF sentiment in this community

and business men, including Fl. ".
Oliver, J. K AIoorehead, John Chal-
FAINT and John B. MeCune. The
majority, even of those who are
looked upon as Independents, did
not believe that Senator Cameron,
whose reticence is one Of his strong
est characteristics, ever made uee of
the language attributed to him, and
others doubted the ability of the
defiant Senator to carry his threat
into execution.

Is THE SOUTH STILL SOLID?

The New York Times of May %,
devotes two solid pages to the publ
cation of letters from Southern De-
mocratic editors aud other Demo-
cratic leaders, touching the political
situation. The information gathered
from these letters is to the effect
that the masses of Southern Demo
crazy are reasonably well satisfied
with their leaders. and that the South
is practically solid for the Democratic
party. After making all due allow
ance for the prejudices of the writer's
of these letters, the fact is prominent
that there has been no break of inn
portance in the solid South outside
of Virginia, and it is not certain yet
that the break, even there, is perma-
nent. The trouble in Virginia is,
that the alliance against the Bour-
bons there is based on rotten foun
dalton, and is consequently not suf-
ficiently strong to command univer-
sal confidence.
These letters are said to have
been read with great satisfaction by
Democratic leaders IN Congress,
who feel certain that the solid South
will prove most important factor
in the next Presidential election, as
it has in the last two, and they will
redouhle their efforts to keep it SO
It is unfortunate for the country that
sectional lines are to be still kept NJ
in politics, but we confess that the
prospects that such will be the case
appear somewhat tiattering.

fine as we expected, but oats are
doing well. Cotton is very inferior,

corn instead.

MORE ABOUT PENNSYLVANIA.

Mr.. Cooper, chairman of the Re
publican State Central committee of
Pennsylvania, denies that Senator
Cameron ever made the threat with
which he is credited. To CORES
pondent of the New York Tribune
he said:
Senator Cameron never made
such threat" was the reply. Il
heard the word from which the res
port probably sprang. Senator Cam
eron may have said that ii he were
like other people he might do such a
thing. All the reputation the Cam
erons have made springs from their
support of the tarit. He did say,
IF the Republican party goes down
the tariff goes down too. Turning
to me, he said. Senator Cooper,
don't you think that is true2 But
the party won't go down. 1t will
rally with great interests depending
upon it. 1t would have been mad
ness for Cameron to say what has
been attributed him. He wasn't
going to drive these people away
from him This is substantially what
he did say, Il have been assured by
numbers of leading Republican Sen,
ators and members OF Congress that
the result Of this struggle in Pennsyl-
wanna is watched with the greatest IN
terest everywhere. They have volun-
teered to come to Pennsylvania this fall
aid III the election OF General Beaver
because they believe from the tactics
of the Democratic party that the
Democrats will make the result OF
this fight the basis of their work in
the Presidential campaign of 1884.
Some gentlemen would have you be-
.leye that this fight is between Cam
eron and anti-Cameron. Don't be-
heve anything of the kind. It will
