TtIRN TEXAS LOOSE.

From the time Judge Clark arrived
last night at 7:lo to the present time
there has not been 30 minutes time
in which one could not hear some-
where in Fort Worth the slogan
"Turn Texas loose" Judge Clark
touched the right chord when he said
that in his announcement as a candi.

full of love for the Lone Star State
have taken up the refrain and two
hundred thousand threats will be
found this summer following "turn

THE SPEAKING.

Hon. George Clark spoke to-day in
the Fort Worth opera house to per-
feet throng Of people. The meeting
was called to order by B. B. Paddock
and the distinguished candidate for
governor was introduced by Hon,
Seth w. Stewart. The opera house
has a seating capacity of 5000, but
hundreds of anxious men were turned
away for want of room, When Judge
Shark was s.presented, the audience
went wild and it was several minutes
before quiet was restored sufficient for
the speaker to begin. He is now
speaking and such enthusiasm was
never witnessed in Fort Worth before.

land by the revocation Of Balfour's pro-
clamations of five years ago. The law
under which those rights might be again
suspended still stands unrepeaIed, but 1t is
made dead letter by Morley's proclama-
tion of Wednesday.
Thus is the first promise of the new Gov
ernment to the Irish people fulfilled. Irish
men. for the first time in five years, are
equal before the law with Englishmen,
Seotchmen and Welshmeu.
There have been no loud rejoicings in
Ireland over this act of par
tial emancipation. The indipnity of Tory
insult for its removal to prompt any feel
ings of gratitude. Besides. ireland is look
ing forward to q greater emancipation,
toward which this is but step. Morley's
action is therefore regarded as merely the
tulfllmeht of an obvious duty, and even
the opposition press fails to criticise it.
OF course the coercion government is JUS
tilted by its defenders, who point out that
the necessity for the crimes act ceased to ex-
ist some months ago, but they do not ex-
plain why MI. Balfour failed to make the
repeal instead of leaving the duty to his
successor. Mr.. Morley's next problem, and
1T is the problem of the whole
Liberal party, is what to do for the
evicted tenants Of Ireland during the COM
ing winter. Things cannot be allowed to
take their course without bringing terrible
crisis of misery and discontent-a crisis, by
the way, which the Tory opposition would
regard with selfish equanimity. An imme-
diate inquiry will probably be undertaken
by the new Government, and, when Parlia-
ment meets, the facts will be clearly put
before it, with some plan for assuaging
hunger and relieving distress

mind from the pale, questionable Democ-
racy of Douglas, into .he passionate devo-
tion to the Union. Coming, as Dougherty
did-a Democrat-the rising hope of the
young Democracy of Pennsylvania, his ac-
cession to the Union League was not that
OF person but force. 1t was force
eagerly welcomed by the fathers of the
league, because they saw behind it that
Democratic sentiment which wos so desira-
BILE toward successful prosecution of the
war.
Dougherty had many friendships, upon
which, if space permitted, it would be
pleasant to dwell. There were two notably
which Influenced his life-those Of John
W. Forney and Edwin Forrest.
II love Forney," he used to say. "He
was my earliest friend He gave me my
first glass of champagne. Forney was
some years, ten I think, senior to Dough-
erty. When the young orator was edging
to the front Forney, with his remarkable
Forney had the princely gift of recognition
and, more than that, appreciation. Who
like him could speak the cheering word,
illumine the young hope, or give fire to
the new ambition? He saw in Dougherty
noble gifts, and out of his own ample ex-
perience and intellectual resources guided
them. If Forney was Dougherty's
first friend, I take it he was his
first master. They had much in CON-
mon. They had been under the yoke
of what Bulwer calls the twin jailers of the
daring heart, humble birth and iron fortune.
They were self-made, self-taught, alike in
their pride, their aspirations their unpaus-
ing devotion to cause. Forney knew the
world better than Doughertv. While the
younger man was mooning-his forehead

and Cato, the elder was studying the causes
of the latest detection in Berks and the
reasons for believing in a larger vote In
Lancaster. Forney realized that, not having
made the world, he must take human nature
as he found 1t and follow the ancient land
marks 1t would take an eternity to amend
them, and his work must of need be for the
time being
Dougherty's Political Philosophy,
Dougherty was pessimist His pessim-
ism was that of the idealist striving for an
ideal ever unattainable. A youth of lofty
thoughts, Of rspt and vivid Imagination, his
head was among the stars The Romans
yes, the Romans! And the Greeks! There
were your men. The heroes made empire,
and lawgivers evolved the oracles of eternal
justice, and poets sang, and philosophers

our own great men, our Senators of the ear

with his awe-compelliug sentences and Clay
charmed with his eloquence, and Calhoun
convinced with his logic. To be of them,
that was not possible. But to take tbs torch

path emulate and improve their example. i
What dream for the daring young man!

Slckles and I kept Anderson in Sumter"
In the throes Of conceived rebellion came
the news that Major And erson had one
night transferred his command from Fo rt
Mouitrle to Fort Sumter Buchanan was
President, and dallying with the Confeder-
ate leaders; who were exchanging essays
with him on the abstract right of secession,
while their folks at home were cleaning the
guns and mixing the powder Floyd and
Thompson were in the Cabinet. The trans
fer awakened the anger of the South, mean
ing as it did that Anderson had mQyed from
. trap into fortress. In good faith
Buchanan must order Anderson back,
must command him to leave the fortress
and re-enter the trap. Buchanan, who in
the hands of the strenuous Slidell was even
as clay in the potter's hand, agreed. STAN
ton, temporarily in the Buchanan Cabinet
as Attorney General, was in despair. He
thought of Sickles-theu Congressman from
New York-who had been Secretary of Le-
gasion to Buchanan when English Minister,
and was on familiar terms with the Presi-
dent. Sickles, with the instinct of genius,
saw the war coming, saw its magnitude. and
had thrown himself prone upon the Union
cause. Stanton implored Sickles to arrest
Buchanan's fatal resolution. In vain
back to Moultrie Anderson must go. For
Slidell had said it, and who dare challenge
the imperious mandate?
How Buchanan Was Complimented.
But Sickles was of all men living the
last to be baf1ed. So swift went a dispatch
to Dougherty, 'Meet me at the early train
without fail, even if the heavens fall"
There sure, in the cold wintry morning, was
Dougherty; waiting, breakfastless, to chafe
and grieve over the news go swift,
G,I
have 100 guns firedfn honor of the 6rmness
of the venerable President in ordering
Anderson to occupy Sumter. Have the
guns fred, and then rain dispatches on the
President commencing him as q second

The counsel given, Sickles, without leav-
ing the train, fastened to New York, where
he had Rynders with his guns to salvo the
heavens in honor of the firm Buchanan.

still breakfastless to find the guns and the

"And thus it was," said Dougherty, with

broken with sorrow, limping on his crutches

The Grant incident caused Mr.. Dough-
erty the alienation of valued friendships I
was abroad at the time, but on returning
found many friends angry with Dougherty
for some speech denouncing Grant. That
he was to be a king or something, and,
furthermore, that 1 was in some sense in
the plot to overthrow the country, in that
by some writings had developed and made
possible the third term. I did not think
much of the comment, never having read
the speech. I remembered that it was poll.
tics, and, like Iago, having myself in the
trade of war slain men, was disposed to be q
lenient critic even when was the object Of
criticism. When L saw Dougherty I was
disposed to deal with the speech as the for
gotten eferyescence of political champagne,
and that we would both smile over the exu-
berance which for the moment had carried
him away. But mol Dougherty was in ope
of his pessimistic moods. Again he had
fears for the future of the Republic. He
had studied Grant. He knew him. He
admired him. But even so he might have
admired Caesar and Napoleon. Nothing
was palmer than this conspiracy against the
Republic.
. Dougherty governed his life with rigid If
not austere laws He had mapped out
high plane of moral action, and from that
he never swerved.
Dougherty disliked eItemporaneous
speaking, although he was at his best when
he spoke from his heart, instant, full and
free. He was conscientious over his art.
Demosthenes had declaimed to the waves
with the pebbles in his mouth, Dickens had
rehearsed his Copperfeld reading 200 times,
and what he did he would do WELL I pre-
sumo he wrote his little speech nominating
Cleveland 20 times. 1t would not make 100
lines, and when he came one morning to
read 1t to me he would only have the Sc
verest criticism. There was nothing to
eriticise, but the conscientious man went
on refining and refining, until, when it was
delivered before a hushed convention, it
was as perfect in expression and condensa-
tion as an ode of Horace.

And this scene at the Catholic service in
the same town: The church was crowded
and the congregation ,trailed out through
the open porch into the churchyard and
against the walls, as far as to the shrine on
the eastern end, and around again to the
western door. Old men and women who
were late lay under the open windows with
their sticks and crutches stretched
out beside them. The rest outside
were all on their knees, following the serv-
ice as it proceeded within, clasping their
hands, making the sign of the cross, giving
the responses and joining in the singing
The service WAS almost over before the
easing of the crush near to the door ena-
bled me to push into the interior
as far as to the inner door,
and then PRAYER was being
said, asking for the cessation OF the plague
that was near at hand. 1t was said IN
Polish, and only the substance was made
known to me, but its effect on the congrega-
tion was thing that required no in
terpreter. From porch to chaneel they
bent forward on their faces, with their
crowding would permit, and then they be-
gan to sing.
No Such Singing to Be Heard.
"I have never heard such singing There
was no organ, and if there was choir Its
voices were lost in the deep swell OF the
melancholy wall that rose from the people.
When We came out again into the open
sunshine the lame with their. crutches, the
sick, the infrm and the overRowing congrega-
tion were lying prone on the ground around
the church, singing in voices that were like
groans to tune that was like moan"
Some valuable information comes from
st. Petersburg. As the result of close
study of cholera one investigator writes:

This condition, it must be understood, had
nothing to do with the cholera, but was of
old standing, according to certain infallible
signs which need not be placed here. There
is an explanation of many things
about cholera, its preference for the

had profound admiration. And one even

toward politics as an ideal, was doomed,
when he came in touch with it, to rude
awakening. What, after all, as he learned
in bitterness and dismay, were these con-
tempcraneous gods but idols with feet OF
clay? What was political action but CHI
canery? Who could conquer but by stooP-
ing in filth and slime? The shock came
rudely upon an imagination which mad
dreamed of silvern harmonious ways In a
public career, who had seen himself with a
party crowding to honor him for his elo-
quence, people coming with crowns Tor his
civic virtues
How often in bitterness, and with Jun1us
like invective, have 1 heard Doughertv rall
at the realities of public life, what men call
practical politics, the use of money and
patronage. There was no way to pace but
by walking in the shadow OF the penlten-
tiary. There was no use for genius or char
acter. A political career-it was the hitch
ing of Derby winner to an otfal cart
Politics-successful politics-what was 1T
but the deadening of moral sentiment, the
emasculation of manly virtue? Place meant
money. And as he could not bend, as he
never bowed his head but to the cross,
Dougherty kept his way-his face to the
stars, while the eager world swept by him.
His Removal to New York.
Dougherty went to New York late in life.
He had an unusual success. His repute had
gone before him. He became center OF
social and political honors. Tammany Hall
sent him to St. Louis to nominate Cleveland
At the outset of his New York career,
whenever I saw Dougherty, he was aglow
over his hearty political recognition. HIS
qualification was ingenious and sincere. ana
I remember having my own thoughts about
it as to how long it would last, and In what
manner the most impossible OF politicians
could become possible to Tamman,; and
whether the spirit that would not brook the
whips of Democratic management In Ph1la-
delphia would accept the scorpions of New
York. The Cleveland nomination incident
lasted q season and made the skies rosy.
But it could not endue.
The eyes of Dougherty slowly opened to
Tammany Hall. The political chlcanery
which had been the work OF amateurs In
Philadelphia was here the work OF masters.
He found practical politics reduced to
science. In nv last conversation with him,
summing up his New York experiences, he
dwelt with scorn upon what he had learned
of Democracy, and said that he was making
ready tor what he meant to be the work OF
his life-a war to the death against Tam
many Hall
In New York, even in a greater degree
than in Philadelphia, as my readers will see,
again the ideal had struck the real-agaln
there had been the rude awakening, and he
saw the degradation involved in the inner
management of political affairs. Doughertv
was an absolutely honest man-and although
with his imagination and his world of high
fancies he might for period go incoming in
the land of dreams, when the truth came
and, he saw it, there was anger as OF the
gods.
