THE WASHINGTON CALAMITY.

Few of the holocausts that have, at
intervals, for the last several years,
startled the country, have been more
shocking than that which yesterday
morning swept away the family Of
Secretary Tracy. 1t appears from the
description in the dispatches that the
inmates of Secretary Tracy's residence
slept in the upper apartments and
unaware that the flames were fast
preparing in the basement and on
the first floor the tomb of fire in
which Miss Tracy and the servant
were so soon to be burned. The effect
of conilagration in lulling the senses
of the sleeper within its power is well
known, and Secretary Tracy asphyxi-
ated with smoke was utterly uncon-
scious of the approaching flames till
seized by the stout arms OF the fire.
men and hurried to window.
Had Mrs. Wilmerding and her
daughter, who jumped from the sec
ond story window, the presence of
mind TO have noted the ladder raised
for their escape the former might
have saved herself from injury and both
the further and probable fatal imperil-
ment of their lives. The death of
Mrs. Tracy from suffocation by the
smoke was an added horror of the ter
rible event. The nation sympathizes
most sincerely with kSecretary Tracy
in this time OF his unutterable loss
and grief.

PARNELL'S TRIUMPH.

The SANDER suit of the Irish leader
against the Great Thunderer involved
the certain result of one or tho other
going to the wall. Had Pigott not
been the scoundrel he proved to be, had
the Times established its charges
against Parnell of completely in the
Phoenix Park murders and the dyna-
mite policy of the crazy extremists,
who well nigh broke down the Irish
cause, Parnell would have been politi-
cally and socially buried. He would
have been forced to resign his seat in
parliament and abdicate the leader
ship of the Irish party.
But he has proven himselfinnocent,
that the Times charges were utterly
unfounded, and that in his course as
the leader of the Irish, he has done
nothing beyond the pale District honor
nothing that could besmirch his
character as Il man or as statesman.
1t is the Times that has gone to the
wall. BY the voluntary payment to
Parnell of $4,000 as conscience money
the Thunderer has confessed its guilt
and the fact that it had brought so
monstrcus a charge against public
man without an iota of evidence to
substantiate it, stamps the Times with
the character of unreliability and SLAM
der SO ruinous to the influence OF a
great newspaper. Parnell came out OF
the contest untarnished; the Times
with blackened optics, and the
same besmirched reputation it
attempted to foist on ParDell.

The Horticultural Convention.

VIII. Raglan, secretary of the Amerl-
can Horticultural society, has handed
us copy of the Arkansas Democrat,
from which we clip the following con-
corning the contemplated stop-over OF
the society at Little Rock. Secretary
Raglan assures us that, Judging iron
the solicitous inquiries of his numerous
correspondents, this excursion and the
meeting in Texas will be of unusual
interest and profit to all who are SO
fortunate as to be participants.
A grand excursion of delegates to
the ninth regular meeting OF the
American Horticultural society, to be
held at Austin, Tex, February IL and
continuing four days, will arrive IN
this city ON the 18th of February. An
invitation has been extended signed
by Governor Eagle, Mayor Whipple
and President Jones, of the board OF
trade, to stop over several hours III
this city, and an answer received by
Prof. Thomas, of the Iron Mountain
land department, last evening, accepts
the invitation. The special train will
accordingly arrive at the union depot
on the morning of the l4th, and the
hundreds of delegates from every
section of the New England and East
ern states will be entertained by the
city.
The American Horticultural society
had It's origin in Arkansas, and our
citizens feel a just pride in its growth
and prosperity. 1t was before this So
ciety that our fruits took first premium
in New Orleans, and subsequently at
the California exposition under its
direction Prof. Thomas carried off the
prize with his magnificent exhibit.
The meeting at Austin it is expected
will be the most successful ever held.
Every arrangement has been made for
the accommodation of delegates, and
the society will have the privilege of
the city.-Denison Horticulturist.

AUsTIN's WHOLESALE TRADE.

An interview in this issue of THE
STATESMAN with travelling man rep
resenting a large Galveston house,
should prove of great interest to our
wholesale merchants and to the citi-
zens of Austin generally. The name
of this gentleman can, upon applica-
ton privately, be supplied. The gist
OF the interview when boiled down is,
that Austin is doing about One-third
the business she should and could do
if the proper effort we're made. That
our wholesale merchants should be
utterly unknown, with few excep-
tons, through territory contiguous
to our county and which should be
our natural camping ground, seems
strange to the degree OF monstrous.
Yet such does this wholly disinter-
ested gentleman declare to be the
case. BY rail and wagon travel Aus
tin is nearer and cheaper to those
western counties than San Antonio,
yet the latter city is doing the whole
sale business. There should be some
good reason for this-can our whole
sale merchants tell why it is? Why
should all that country pay tribute as
it does Galveston and San Antonio
rather than to Austin? Don't our
merchants want that trade, does not
Austin need it? Under present con-
ditions they could secure it with a
proper effort, but with the Austin
and Northwestern railroad extended
through that section it would be al
most thrust upon them. Is it not
their duty and that of our board OF
trade to have this question thoroughly
ventilated?

PLUCKY LAREDO,

By the splendid news and booming
matter Laredo is publishing in all the
papers of the Union, that town is not
only advertising itself but is attract
ing the eyes of capital everywhere to
Texas. The St. Louis Republic has
this to say OF that growing town S
wide-awake course: "The Laredo
Land and improvement company,
which is back of the big boom the
city of Laredo has been experiencing
during the past six months, seems to
be doing exceptionally good work,
not only for that town but for the
whole of Texas. All the reports from
the Rio Grande metropolis indicate
that town of considerable import
ance is fast growing up on the Mexi
can frontier" Laredo is experience
ing phenomenal growth, and it has
been simply business cooperate IN,
pluck and vim that have done it. May
she grow in a few years to be city Of
at least fifty thousand people. She
deserves such success.

OBJEC OF THE ANTI-sILvER CRU
SADIE.

The other day the representative OF
the late silver convention at st. Louis
laid before the house committee on
coinage the views of that body in IA
vor of free coinage Of silver. The po-
sition was very correctly taken that
the Punishment OF silver from our cir
culation or its curtailment would be
one of the worst disasters that ever
befell the people of this country. Its
financial history bears out this asser-
ton. From the foundation of this
government up to 1873 silver coinage
was free. For forty years prior to that
date silver was at a premium over
gold. In obedience to the wishes OF
the bondholders and capitalists we, by
the act of February u, 1873, stopped
silver coinage and made the gold dol
lar the unit OF value. The great crash
of 1873 followed, from which the coun-
try has hardly yet recovered. For five
years-the darkest in the financial
history of the United States-this law
was operative, until 1878, when COM
pulsory silver coinage was enacted,
now sought to be repealed by the
Window bill. Gold monopo-
lists claimed then, as they
do now, that silver coinage
would drive gold out of the country.
But ten years of silver coinage under
the act OF 1878 proves directly the
reverse.
The records of the United States
mint show that in 1877 the total gold
in the country was one hundred and
sixty-seven million five hundred
thousand dollars in round numbers,
and in 1887 it was seven hundred and
eleven million seven hundred thou
sand dollars.
Its clear that this has only been a
subterfuge of the anti-silver men.
The real purpose in the attempt to
demcnetize and Danish legal tender
silver from the circulation is to in
crease the purchasing power of that
portion of the circulation which is
left. Thus the debtor will be forced
to pay dollar for dollar debts con-
tracted under larger and less valu-
able currency.
OF course it would benefit the cred
itor class by hundreds of millions and
swin1le the debtors in the same ratio.
1t would enable the holder of Texas
State or Austin City bonds to collect
his interest in money that would buy
much more than the same money at
the time of contract. A first rate
thing for the bondholder but really
robbing the people who have to pay
the principal and interest on the
bonds. The same thing would apply
to Wall street.

DISCOVERY IN ASTRONOMY.

The variable star, Algol, of the sec.
ond magnitude has always been a
subject of great interest to astrono-
mers from the fact that its light nearly
disappears at regular intervals. The
old astronomers of q hundred years
ago advanced the theory which has
just been demonstrated by the savant,
Vogel, that the star has dark body,
a satellite, revolving around it, and
periodically coming between us and
the star. Professor Vogel has shown
by the spectroscope that the satellite
is one hundred times a3 large as the
earth and its speed fifty-six miles per
second, the star itself being one hun
dred and thirty-four times larger than
our planet.
Thus has been demonstrated the
startling and stupendous theory adj
vanced by modern astronomers OF the
existence of dark bodies in space, the
remains of extinct suns.
