the ballot-box. As the case now
stands, it is idle to look for an honest
election in the South, or for the pun
ishrnent of those who make honest
elections impossible. The people of
the North have a right to insist that
such state of affairs shall be cor
rected in the interest of good govern
ment and of political consistency and
decency. 1t is not as if these out
RACES were of a remote and indistinct
character. They are facts of to-day.
The evil stares us directly in the face,
and relates to the present safety and
success of our institutions. Nobody
asks that all the outrages of the past
shall be Investigated and legislated
upon; but it is demanded that steps
shall be taken to put a stop to the sys-
tenn of wrong and crime which now
exists. and which public sentiment in
the South condones and encourages.
The records of the last twelve months
alone are sufficient to justify positive
and stringent measures of relief. II
the South is not willing to provide the
required protection-and manifestly it
is not-then it is both the right and
the duty of Congress to assume con-
troll of the matter; and the country ex-
poets that course to be adopted at the
earliest opportunity. Louis Globe

NATURAL GAS ExPLODES.
Several Persons Injured and Building
Wrecked at Pittsburgh, Pa.

Several Persons Injured and Buildings
Wrecked at Pittsburgh, Pa.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 2S-Two natural
gas explosions in this vicinity within the
last few hours wrecked five buildings and
injured number of persons, one fatally
and two others quite seriously. The first
explosion occurred at Tarentum, almost
completely demolishing two brick dwell
ings and two smaller buildings used as
stora rooms. The dwellings We're occupied
by Joel Smith and William c. Prtcbard,
both prominent citizens, and the families
were more or less bruised, while Mrs.
Smith was terribly burned about the head
and breast and will probably die. The
loss was quise heavy.
The second took place in this city and
totally wrecked the frame house of Patrick
Murray on Briggsville avenue. The fam
lily, consisting of five persons, were still in
bed and it is miracle that they all We're
not killed outright. Murray was badly
burned about the head and face and one
leg crushed by a falling timber. Nora, a
thirteen-year-old daughter, jumped from
a second story window and sustained
painful but not dangerous injuries. Mrs.
Murray and the two Younger children
escaped with few scratches.
The explosions were caused by leaks in
the pipes and are the only serious acci.
denLs that have occurred here from natural
gas for nearly two years.

The Great "Rat" Organ Grieves Over It's
Ruined Mares Nest.
LONDON, Feb. 2S-The Times to-day in
its leading editorial quotes in full the
apology rendered by Attorney General
Webster before the Parnell commission
for the publication of the forged letters,
and continues: 1--WE desire to indorse as
appropriate every word of the foregoing
statements. 1t is our wish. as it is our
duty, to do so. Moreover, Mr.. Parnell
having in the witness box stated that the
letters are forgeries, we accept
in every respect the truth of that
statement. In these circumstances we
deem it right to express our regret
most fully and sincerely at having been
induced TO publish the letters as Mr.. Par
nell's or to use them in evidence against
him. This expression of regret includes
also the letters falsely attributed 10 Mr..
Egan, Mr.. Davitt and Mr.. O'Kelly. 1t is
scarcely fitting now to enter into the cir
cumstance under which we received and
published them. We are bound, however,
to point out that Pigott was not the per-
son with whom we communicated.
Moreover, we must add that we
firmly believed that the letters were genu.
inc until the disclosures made by Pigott
on cross-examination. 1t must be evident
to all reasonable persons that if con-
spiracy existed the Times was victimized
by and not party to it. Errors in judg-
ment have been committed and for them
the penalty must be paid 1t must be
clearly understood that what we have
done is altogether upon our own notion
and our own responsibility and in the pub
lie interest alone This withdrawal of
course refers exclusively to the letters OBJ
tanned from Picott"

REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
Meeting of the National League of Repul
lican Clubs.

Meeting of the National League of Repub-
lican Clubs.
BALTIMORE. Nd, March 1.-When Presi-
dent James p. Foster called the conven-
ton of the National League of Republican
Clubs to order shortly after noon yester-
day there was a goodly attendance of
delegates and Ford's Opera House pre-.
scented a gala appearance. Mr.. Foster
briefly recited the reason for the holding
of the convention at this time and con-
graduated the league on the result of its
work last. fall. He spoke of the rapid
growth of the league since its organiZa-
ton and said that at the head of
the inaugural parade on Monday next
would be found banner on which would
be emblazoned the crest of the National
League of Republican Clubs. He COM
plimented the clubs of Maryland on their
work as evidenced by the additional Re.
publican Congressman credited to that
State. He gave statistics showing che
phenomenal growth of the league from
400 clubs at Chickering Hall In
December, 1887, to over 1000 clubs
at the present convention. The spirit of
harmony that had pervaded the work of
the party since the Chicago convention
was creditab!e to the organized clubs, to
whose efforts much of President Harri-
sons success was due. He congratulated
the Republican party on the admission of
the four new States, claiming that they
belong to the Republican ranks and would
be found there when needed. An allusion
to James G. Blaine as the next Secretary
of State was greeted with an outburst Of
cheers.
The roll call was answered by nearly
900 delegates. Those from North Dakota,
South Dakota, Washington and New
Mexico, were greeted with applause as
they arose to answer to their names.
Addresses were delivered by prominent
speakers from various sections of the
,untry.

The Murder Of Clayton.

The motive of this crime is too
transparent to allow of its being passed
unnoticed by Congress. 1t casts a
lurid light upon the conditions under
which Southern Republicans have to
contend for their rights. There is no
justice in an Arkansas court for Re-
publican and no likelihood that the
Democrat who took Mr.. Clayton out
of Mr.. Breckinridge's way, by the
short and easy method of assassina-
ton, will be punished. But the Fifty
first Congress owes a duty to itself
under the constitutional provision
which makes it a judge of the qualifi-
cations of its members. 1t is in its
power to see to it that the fruits Of
this crime are not enjoyed. As Mr.
Breckinridge's title rests first on fraud.
and secondarily on assassination, 1t
would be fitting that his seat should
be declared vacant-Leaven worth

POLITICAL OUTRAGES.
The Duty of Congress to Provide PrOtec
ton for Southern Republicans.

The Duty of Congress to Provide PrOtec-
ton for Southern Republicans.
The next Congress will find it neces-
sary to give early and serious atten-
ton to the matter of political fraud
and crime in the South. 1t is undeni-
able that there is condition of things
in that respect which is at once both
National disgrace and Ma
tional danger. The assassination of
Colonel Clayton can not be regarded
as an accident or an exception; it is
simply one more scandalous and des-
perate outrage added to large number
of similar and systematic acts designed
to promote the interests of the Dem
ocratic party at any cost of violated
law and repudiated rights of citizen
ship. A species of Generalization ex-
lists in that part of the country with
regard to elections and the suffrage
which is a constant menace to the
public peace and welfare. There may
have been time when there was
some excuse for the lawless proceed
ings in question; but certainly that
time went by long ago. The war
ended so many years since that new
generation has grown up from the
cradle to manhood; and yet these Of
lenses continue as if We had but just
emerged from that awful season of
passion and bloodshed. Nobody doubts
or disputes the facts. 1t has come to
be understood that such crimes are to
be expected; and in no instance has an
honest effort been made to bring the
guilty persons to justice.
There is way in which Congress
can provide reasonable protection for
all citizens SO far, at least, as Federal
elections are concerned. The consti-
tuition gives ample authority for the
enactment Of laws to secure fair and
clean elections, and to prevent crimes
against the sacredness and purity of

A BOLD STEP.

The New French Ministry Makes a Move
Toward Suppressing Boulangerism.
PARIS, March 1.-The suppression of the
Patriotic League was decided upon at q
council held at the Eiysee Palace yester-
day. Afterward Premier Tirard, NJ. Con.
STAINS, Minister of the Interior, and NJ.
Thevenet, Minister of Justice, had con-
ference with the Procureur-General and
the project of police with the view of TAX
ing concerted action.
Then NJ. Paul Deroulede, president of
the Patriotic League, and other leaders of
that organization, were arrested and will
be prosecuted.
NJ. Deroulede and Deputies Laguerre and
Richard, members of the organization, are
charged with having by hostile acts, such
as the signing of the Atchinof manifesto,
exposed the State to the danger Of a
declaration of war.
The police took possession of tie offices
of the league. NJ. Deroulede declines -
answer the charges against him at PREF.
ent.
It is the belief that the suppression of
the Patriotic League is the first of series
of steps to suppress Boulangism and pre-
text to discover the organization of the
league.

Wild Man CautUrel.

Waco. Tex, Feb. 2S.-Adolphus Thomp-
son, a colored man of herculean build, has
been brought in by colored men from
Tehuacana, bound hand and foot. He is
about thirty years old and the son of an
aged and respected colored farmer of this
county. For three years he has run wild
in the woods, resisting all attempts at cap
ture. He was totally nude and subsisted
on herbs, acorns and pecans and when the
supply gave out he would terrify the
women and children of the neighborhood
by making raids upon the houses when
the men were in the fields In attempting
his capture one of the party was terribly
beaten upon the face and arms.
