LONDON, June 4.-McCoan, the member
OF Parliament for Wicklow, in letter to
Parnell, informing him OF his withdrawal
from the Parnellites, says his reason for
severing his connection with the party,
besides offense at Parnell's actions in his
(McCoan's) affair with Kelley, is that its
aims and methods have long ceased to be
those to which he subscribed three years
ago. He cannot, therefore, conscientiously
remain in it.
McCoan has also written to the Framdn'S
Journal, Dublin, regarding his withdrawal
from the Parnellites party. II it, ne says the
aims OF four or five gentlemen who obyi-
ouBly forced PArnell's hand, have long de-
veloped beyond the policy OF honest land
reform and federal home rule. He says he
cannot continue to maintain even nominal
relations with veiled communism and
rebelism. He asserts there are other men
in the party who think as he does, but they
are cowed by fear for their seats In the
House Of Commons, which is hard TO un-
de1tand in honest men. McCoan says he
will not shrink from asking judgment Of
his constituents on his action.

The Town Of Green vile suffers Heavily
from n Wind Storm,

GREESvrLLE, TEX, June "A terrible
tornado struck this city at ISIS last evening
with disastrous results. Rain fell in tor.
rents for twenty minutes. The total de-
struction Of the town seemed inevitable.
The wind came from Eorthwesterly direc-
ton with terrific force. A survey OF the
city shows one hundred and fity houses
blown down or moved of the blocks on
which they rested, while large number Of
others are more or less damaged. Strange
to relate only one life WAS lost, that OF q
colored child. Several persons sustained
severe injuries. Strong's residence was
torn to pieces and his wife with an infant
child blown aroun1 at the mercy Of the
wind, tho child being almost drowned by
the rain. Lovenstefn's residence, large
two story dwelling. was totally demolished.
Mrs. Lovenstein was bruised considerably.
Another large residence near by
owned by J: T Roberts, and occu'
pied by VIM. Wolfenberger, was
also demolished. His wife and an.
other member OF the iamily were slightly
Injured. The residence OF Mr.. L. Hall is a
toIal wreck. He went with his family TO
his barn aud all thus escaped. About
forty houses were blown down, but fostnn.
a,ely very few OF the occupants were inIur'
ed. Almost every stock of goods in the
town is more or less damaged by water
blowing into the buildings. The Horth
ends Of the Southern Pacific passenger and
freight depots are both blown oil. d. D.
Martins Touring mill, on the East Line
Railroad is badly damaged the engine
house being blown down. The Methodist
Church, the largest church in town, is com.
pleteIy demolished. The colored church
also was a total wreck. The Presbyterian
and Baptist Churches were badly damaged,
the Christian Church alone escaping in
Jury. W.T.. Suong's machine shop was
blown down and mis- mschinery badly
damaged. The loss Of property iu Green
vile Is variously estimated at from so, O,O00
to 100000 The damage to properly and
growing crops cannot be estimated now
but will be loss OF many thousands.

DENocnric newspapers and politicians

profess to believe is q yawning chasm in

To be plain, they lay hold Of the effort 10

were not many Republicans in that en-
terprisP, but many or few, 1t Is one thing
to Disagree among ourselves with
regard to matters Of policy, and smother
thing to oppose to the enemy solid front

distinguishing feature Of the Republican
party that 1t does not deny to ii
members the right Of opinion and
free speech. To be palmer still,
the l%rELLoEScER, which uncovered
and opposed the movement, did itwith
no other end in view than justice and the
welfare Of the party; and this on the solid
ground that the party could not afford TO
have faithful officer removed in It's name.
We have since had ample reasons 70
