RObesOn's Defeat From u Friendly
Point of View.

Gloucester City IN. J.) Tribune.
The defeat OF General Robson In this dis
trict is not a matter of surprise when we take
into consideration tho influences which were
brought to be against him. His opponent
was confessedly popular man, and It was
known from the start that he would poll quite
number OF Republican votes. Besides this,
It is now an open secret that General Sewell, a
man who holds tho highest oillce within the
gift Of the Republicans OF tho State, and who
for three terms was elected to the State Senate
united efforts of General Robson
and his friends to keep tho
Republicans in line for him, not only exerted
the influence which his high o1ice gave him to
defeat the Republican nominee, but used the
great railroad corporation he represents in
behalf OF the Democratic candidate. And
this TO wreak his personal vengeance upon a
single man-and one, too, who has done more
for the Republican party than any other man
In the State. Such treachery upon the part OF
Senator Sewell and his subserylent tools de.
feated General Robson IN this district and
made the election OF Democrat TO the United
States Senate possible. These are tho facts,
Notwithstanding which the Republican papers
OF the State are afraid to speak above a wills.

4. Above all lie must be man who does
not lie or sneak or make false promises, or
deal in subtcrfugos, or sacrifice two friends
TO concilatc one enemy, or trim upon
great public questions; who is not tricky
or slippery or treacherous or two.faced or
ungratoful. In short, he must be a man who
will be to the torn and distracted Repub-
lcan party of 1881 what Andrew Jackson
was to the domoralizcd and discouraged
Democratic party of 1928. If John Logan
is not that man, we do not know whero the
Republican party can look for him.

ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Narrow Escape of Judge Lawson
From u violent Death.

Adispatch from Dublin, dated November 12,
gives tho following details of an attempt
to assassinato Judge Lawson: "Judge Lawson
evidently had narrow escape from assasslna-
tion last evening. Since his appointment as
ono OF the Judges under tho prevention of
crimes act, and more especially since tho Sc
we're newspaper comments upon him, he has
never gone out without police protection. He
has received large number Of threatening
letters, and II Is alleged has been sentenced TO
death by secret tribunal. Hc was walking
last evening from his residence on Merton
street TO tho Kildare street Clubhouse, fol-
lowed at the distance OF a few yards by two
constables, while two army pensioners, who
wero engaged to assist the constable, kopt
him in view from tho other side OF tho
street. Tho party had nearly reached
the clubhouse, whom n man having tho ap-
pearance of an artisan jostled against Cor
poral Mcdonnell, one OF tho pensioners, In
endeavoring to pass him somewhat hastily,
and said in n confidential manner, 1T is ali
right Mcdonnell thought there was some.
thing suspicious In tho mans manner, and
tracing his attention. Whom opposite the
clubhouse tho man crossed tho street and
turned TO meet Judge Lawson. Mcdonnell,
who had meanwhile noticed tho butt of a re.
volver protruding from an inner breast pocket
OF the mans coat, rushed after him, proclaim
ing his discovery, and, knocking him down,
Mcdonnell received cut on the back of the
hand. Tho revolver is q siS-chambered
one of unusually large Size, and the
exact pattern of those found In tho
house on Dorset street, where McMahon
was shot some time ago. on tho
way to the police station the prisoner tried to
get rid of dozen cartridges. His real name
is Patrick Delaney, and ho resides at No. 13l
Cork street, In this city. He was formally
charged to-day with having feloniously at
tempted to discharge revolver at Judge Law
son with intent to murder. 1t is believed that
other persons besides Delaney were engaged
In the attempt, as IN endeayor was made to
stop tram car 80 as TO give the assassin an
opportunity TO escape during the confusion.
The police say they know Delaney we'll, as a
returned convict, who is obliged to report
himself to them from time to time. In 1870
he was sentenced to i've years servitude for
robbery and attempted murder. Tho police
state that the search which they made of the
prisoners house revealed nothing, but they
appear to regard his act as corroboratiyo OF
their suspicious relative to him in connection
with anOther Yery impOrtant alfalr.n

COLONEL ROBERT G.. INaERsoLL Is
cIedited-or debited-with the statement
that General William Tecumsch Sherman
is the most available candidate that the Re-
publican party can nominate for President
in 1884. The suggestion is worth thought
but we hardly think that analysis will i'm
prove its impression. Any gentleman who
may take the trouble to consult our files
will discover that during last July We
pointed out the reasons why General John
A. Logan would occupy the leading position
of availability in 1884. The result of the
late election has verified our Judgment.
Let us see what are the qualifications
!. The candidate must be man on whose
personal integrity there can rest no shadow
OF doubt. John Logan fills that bill.
2. The candidate must be Republican of
incontestible antecedents and of such attl-
tude toward the respective factions that
neither can find pretext for boiling his
nomination or halting in his support. John
Logan is the only man of that attitude that
we can think Of whose rank among men
entities him to consideration as Pre,i.
dental possibility.

The CRITIC has repeatedly and with EN-.
phasis signiaed its confidence in Major
Hains, the engineer in charge of the harbor
and flats improvement. Having thus
manifested our friendly interest we feel
abundantly justified in assuming the role
of adviser in so far as to warn the Major
that it behooves him to be watchful as to
the influences brought to bear to secure the
award of the dredging contract. If it
should turn out that any person had
claimed to have influence over him and
upon that claim had succeeded in getting a
fee from one Of the bidders, the thing could
hardly be kept from publication aud it
would be very difficult for the Major to
escape suspicion, provided the direction of
the award should seem to verify the aforc-
said claim of " influence"
The pending contest is between Mr..
Adams of this city, and Mr.. Ross, of New
York, the former being the lowest bidder
Now if it should turn out that Mr.. Adams
is a straw bidder, and he should be induced
to withdraw his bid, we do not think 1t
would be wise to award it to the next high.
est until the Major is perfectly satisfied
that the job did not involve anything
blackmail. Our anxiety is solely to see the
Improvement go on; aud we should deem II
great misfortune if the great work so aus
piciously inaugurated by the last session oi
Congress should have no other result than
to provide material for an unsavory lnves
tigation by the next. We have no doubt
as to Major Hams integrity Our only
solicitudo is for the accuracy of his iurorma
tion as he proceeds with the delicate tasl
he has in hand.

recently submitted to an interview, which
closed as follows:

statesman,
Mr.. Carlisle will labor under two disad-
vantages in his canvass, either one of
which would be fatal, unless the Demo-
cratic party has undergone radical change
of character in the last two years. One of
these disadvantages is the fact that he is
very able man and would make most
capable Speaker if chosen. This disad-
vantage has hitherto been insuperable. The
other is the fact that he cannot command
the support of the Democratic bosses in
New York, which has already been pledged
to one Samuel ]. Randall.

THE Hon. William L. Chandler is quoted
as follows in illustration of his views as to
the late election:
"a New Hampshire mau not long ago was 50
Ill that consultation of physicians was
called. The patient was anxious to learn the
real opinion OF the men OF medicine, and 50
directed his servant to conceal himself IN the
consultation room and report what he over
heard. Tho fellow came back and said he
could not understand much of the conversa-
tlon, except that there was good deal of talk
about what the autopsy would show"
This leads us to inquire whether Mr..
Chandler himself desires to be understood
as figuring in the role of consulting physi-
clan or an anxious patient Without ex-
PLANTATION upon that point his illustration
leaves his friends in n state of painful sus-
pense.

Colonel Bowie.

Sensational articles appeared in spec
ial edition of the Houston Daily Post re-
Gently, written by w. P. Zuber, of
Grimes County, protesting to give the
first full account of the massacre of the
Texan garrison in the celebrated fortress
of the Church of the Alamo, at San An
tonic, March 6, 1886. Zuber says he got
the account from Mexican tifer known
in Texas as Polin, who was with the
Mexican army at the time of the capture
of the Alamo. Polin says that after the
Mexican soldiers had taken the fort,
scaled the walls and put the garrison to
the bayonet or sword, Santa Anna, ac-
companied by members of his staff, en-
tered the fort and viewed the Texans
slain. Polin, being fifer and priv
LEGGED character, entered with Santa An
ma, and Immediately behind the Mexican
dictator. Santa Anna ordered the citi-
zens of San Antonio to pick out the
corps of Colonel Travis, the Texan COM
mander, which he ran his sword through.
After Santa Anna had retired from the
fortress, two Mexican officers. with a
number of soldiers, entered and pro-
ceeded to pile up the bodies of the dead
Texans, in order to burn them. In the
search for corpses they discovered the
celebrated Texan patriot, Colonel James
Bowie, in a secluded apartment of the
fortress, lying sick upon stretcher. One
of the officers looked at the sick officer
and asked the other if he knew him. The
latter said he thought he did, and that
it was the infamous Bowie. The officers
then berated Bowie for fighting against
the Mexican Government, after having
married a respectable Mexican lady. He
denounced them for fighting under a
tyrant like Santa Anna. They ordered
him to shut bis mouth, and Bowie said:
"Never, for your sort" ':Then," said
the senior officer, 'we will relieve you
of your tongue" They then had SOL
diers take knives and split open his
mouth, cut off his tongue, and throw his
body, still writhing, upon pile of
corpses. The latter was saturated with
camphene, and while Colonel Bowie s
body, still bleeding but speeches., lay
alive upon the funeral heap, match
was stuck into the combustible fluid and
a tall pillar of flame Immediately shot up
and one of the American officers, pale
and trembling, said to his companions:
THAT fire takes Bowie soul up to God. -
This is the first account of the last mo-
ments of Colonel Bowie ever published.

The Founder Of Missions.

The report is made, on the statement
of Father Casanova, parish priest Of
Monterey. that the grave of Father
Junipero Sierra has been discovered in
the old San Carlos Mission in Carmel
valley, about four miles from that town.
There has always been tradition that
Sierra and fifteen Mexican. Governors OF
California were buried in the old church.
The exact spot where their honored
bones reposed was open to as much
doubt as the grave of Adam, over which
Mark Twain wept. Now it seems lat
Father Casanova has begun the work OF
digging away the debris of century,
and has already brought to light the
bones of the founder of the Missions.
The name of Junipero Sierra is one Of
the best known in the early mission
annals of this coast. He was a man of
singularly unselfish enthusiasm, devoted
to spreading his faith among the simple
minded Indians. He first established
the Mission at San Diego, then the San
Carlos Mission and afterward the other
missions on this coast. He seemed to
have passionate desire to set up the
cross in all parts of the State. but he
made his headquarters at the place
where his bones are now said to lie. In
the pleasant Carmel valley, overlooking
the pleasant little bay, he built the
church which forms to-day one of the
best monuments of the substantial archi-
lecture of the Mission Fathers.
But he did more than build churches.
He improved the ground, planting
choice varieties of grapes, pears and
other fruit. In the Mission garden at
San Carlos, now fallen into decay, is an
orchard of magnificent pear trees, with
trunks as large as mans body. The
culture of the land and the training Of
the natives went hand in hand. The
methods of the Fathers were primitive
but there is no question that this coast is
largely indebted to them for the civil
zation which it gained before the days
of American rule. It was an Arcadian
period of peace and happiness, when the
lust for gold was unknown and pastoral
pursuits and paternosters absorbed mems
minds. The decoration of an alter was
of greater moment than the destinies Of
the Old World from which they came.
They were aff1uent in leisure; they build
ed for all time; they were never hurried;
they scorned to lie or cheat; but they
took possession of the country, utilized
the natives and left . Substantial I'M
press upon the land which another CEN
tury Of American vandalism will find It
difficult to remove. They deserve to be
remembered because they possessed
many of the traits which are most con-
spiciously absent in the life of the
adventurers who elbowed them out Of
the way.-SGn Francisso Chronicle.
