The urfeoa reason for this is the completion f the codification oi the laws, but it is iloo presumed that the governor intends oi have the Legislature on hand ready to oton the decision of the supreme court, ?rtiich meets November 1st, as to the onstitn?onality of the dispensary law nd also* to arrange to pay the big deficit ehich it is thought will be made by the iispensary. I < <m. ? mm> . - An analysis of the statistics of the busi teea failures in the United States for the irat six months of this year by the tradesman, published at Chattanooga, liscloaes the fact that the Southern States isve withstood the financial crises better tttu any other section of the country. 'he TrcuUsm*inls figures show that while he total number of failures in the United tates was 2? 2-5 per cent greater for the irst half of 1B93 than for th? correspond ?g period of 1892, in the Southern States he increase was only three-quarters bf 1 er cent The assets of embarrassed tins in the name period for the whole of ] to United States increased 260 per cent. rbereas.in the South tbe increase was ?ly 1?? per cent. Liabilities for the rhole country increased 200 per cent. ver the same period last year and for the oath the increase was 100 per cent. A few dayh 'ago at Darlington Judge Hudson rendered a decision declaring ae Dispensary Act unconstitutional and old, and it has been a big bombshell mong the supporters Of the State bar 3091. His decision is to the point, and xprejsed-in^hTs usual plain, frank man? or. His main point against the consti atlonality of the Act is that the State has q right to "take a business away from odividaals and create a monopoly for ?elf. He also decides that railroads oald not be prohibited from bringing whiskey into the State from other States; bst when tbe sale of liquor was prohibi ad by the State law the citizen cannot Oil it, but if It Is his property the rail bad a can deliver It to him. There is not more fearless or unpartisan Judge on he. bench of onr whole country than udge Hudson, and in this decision he as shown what constitutes a true man, le knew what would be the consequen &st bat he dared to do his duty and gays 1 his hones** opinion of the Act. Yes, "nothing better could be expected" of such a Judge, as one of the organ grin? ders expresses it, and "he will doubtless be remembered" for having done his duty as an honest Judge. The College commencement season is now at an end for this year, and for sev? eral weeks past the papers from every section of the country have been filled with glowing descriptions of the. occa? sions. At the male college commence? ments, especially, it has been quite an amusing incident to notice the genuine pride the father of the college boy always takes in bis young son who is to gradu ate on commencement day. Take for in? stance the horny handed farmer who is present to witness the great day of his boy. Great is the expectations and the anxiety of the poor old farmer, - whose hopes are wrapped up in bis son. He has perhaps made many sacrifices and straggled hard to keep his son at College, and ; the ?son can neyer know how to appreciate it. He. sometimes begins to look at his own head and admire its length and breadth, when it has nothing but thickness. The old man, then, is worth studying. His head may not be full of ihe fancy points of culture, but it is a hard and wise head all the same. The graduate may be thankful if he has one that will do him as mnoh service. It is quite a drop to come down from the study of the world's moat famous men to this wrinkled and brown-handed farmer who has left his cotton field to attend commencement, bnt we have no hesita? tion in telling the gifted graduate that, if he desires to make a man of himself in an honest way, he cannot afford to disre? gard the old man's principles and meth? ods. This old-fashioned and half forgot ten father is not saying much. He feels that he must first get' acquainted with his brilliant son. But his whole life is a volame of advice. He has let speculation alone, and br been satisfied to make himself Inder, "en t and comfortable by hard work anu . "ft. He has stuck to the church of bis ?. aers, and has never been bothered by the agnostics or any of the modern philosophers. He has made his word ws good as his bond in business transactions, and has never gone back on a friend.. He lias humbly served his God and Jis country, doing his datyas he saw It, and while there are richer and more distinguished men in his country, not one i? more widely loved and res? pected. .Let this college graduate keep befonthlni in life the great principles of truth and duty, which his old father-has laid down, and we dare say that he can find them as valuable as a compass on the broad and .dangerous sea. ^ CUEMSON IS OPE?ED. '?^ Tbm Completion or a Great Work. ? Clemson College is now formally, of? ficially and fully opened. The trustees yesterday ended a well done task and handed over the .trust committed to them by Mr. Clemson and the State to those who will have control of the actual oper? ations of the institution and on whom the responsibility.for its success or failure mhst hereafter rest. The ceremonies were not very elabo? rate yet; tho simplicity which marked thorn was not without grandeur. It was entirely appropriate that an institution intended to be .devoted to practical Intel* factual work on plain and simple lines should be opened without pomp but with-a magnificent intellectual effort; for all accounts agree that the address of President Craighead Was one of which any living man might be proud and. which not only did honor to the State and College, but was full. of promise that the management will be marked by active, progressive, virile thought and will be an ever flowing stream of new strength for the State. ' The trustees hold their last meeting before the opening on Wednesday night. There was only formal business to be transacted. Everything had been so thoroughly done that there was no need for last minute labor and tho men com? posing the board had the satisfaction of feeling that they would turn over their part of the great undertaking finished in every detail, with every wheel, joint and piece in place and working Bmoothly and effectively. ''. . Yesterday morning the 264 boys already in tho college marched from the mess hall, where they had breakfast, to mem? orial hall?a special .mo morial to Thomas G. Clemson. The hall itself is a beautiful one, with seating capacity, on the main floor and in the gallery, of 1,500. It is lighted by day by fourteen stained glass ; windows, each five' feet broad, and by I nigh, by three chandeliers, each with twenty sixteen candle power incande? scent lights. A handsomely executed portrait of Thoa. G. Clemson by Professor Welch, the drawing master of the I college, stands at the head of the.halL The boys were foliowod' -by the following gentlemen who took seats pro? vided for them on the stage: Governor Till man and Professor Craig head ; D. K. NorriaandM.B. Hardin; W. D. May field and Jame? E. Tin dal; Chas. M. Furman and D. T. Bedfearn; J. E. Wan amaker and Prof. W. S. Morrison; J. H. Hardin and Prof. H. A. Strode; H. M. Stackhouse and Prof. C. W. Welch; Jas. L. Orr and B. W. Simpson; Prof. Jas. Wood row and J. G. Clinkscales; M. L. Donaldson and W. D. Evans; Prof. B. N. Bracket* and C. W. Sims; Prof. T. P. Harrison and Lieut, T.?. Donaldson, Jr.; Allan Johnstons and Professor Newman; the Hon. G. W. Shell and Prof, Sloan; the Bev. Mr. Sprout and Prof, J. F. C. DnPre; Prof, J. W. Hart and W, C, Monoref; Secretary Sloan and Col. R. E. Bo wen; Hon. B. F.. Cray ton, of An? derson, who was present by special invi? tation. Congressman Shell had entered a son and so had Secretary of State Tfndsll and Governor Tillman. Mrs, Till man also graced the occasion with her presence. Trustee Stackhouse entered two nephews and B, W. Simpson and Col. R. E. E o wen a son each. The proceedings were opened with prayer by the Bev. Dr. James Wood row, of the South Carolina College. Chairman B.W. Simpson, of the board of trustees, was ailing, and therefore spoke very briefly instead of making the somewhat lengthy address he had neon scheduled for. He said the day was the Erondest of his life and that he wss there l behalf of the board of trustees to turn over their work completed to the faculty who would have charge of its aotual con? duct hereafter,. , ? v Governor Tillman had been notified only the night before that he would be expected to take Chairman Simpson's place in making the address in the behalf of the board. He was intro? duced by Chairman Simpson as one who had been a laborer in the cause of the college - before it was created and before the board had been organ? ized The governor said the motto of the college would be work. Every man and boy in it would be expected to work .or leave. He devoted a good part of his re? marks to a very earnest and strong trib? ute to Mr. Clemson who, he said would be remembered in the State's i history as being as .great a benefao I tor as her greatest Statesman, John C, Calhonn. j He then proceeded to give an outline history of the creation, and endowment of the college and the work of thetrus ! tees, alluding to the many troubles and discouragements that bad been encoun? tered in the work. The board, he was proud to say, had been' unanimous in its purpose always to. do what was best for the institution and to promote the great work on which it had been engaged. There had been differences in judgment but none in purpose and there had been no political friction. Professor Craighead then made the ad? dress receiving the college in behalf of the faculty. His keynote was the mag? nificence of the work in which the South? ern people are engaged in building up the South, of the wonderful achievements already made in that direction and es? pecially of our educational progress. As already stated, the address was declared by all who heard it to be a wonderful one ?rich in thought, perfect in dictation and expression, full of life and strength, en? ergy and promise, It would probably fill seven or eight columns of the Green? ville Newa and any synopsis which woold give an adequate Idea of it would be im? possible. It will probably be published in pamphlet form, many wishes-to that effect being expressed on all sides. The exercises were closed with prayer by the Bev. Mr. Zimmerman and the college will to-day be at work smoothly and steadily aa if it had been opened a year ago. The dormitories have J5g rooms, each room being provided with comfortable provision for the three occupants. The I arrangements for san iteration and ventjr < lation art perfect and in accordan-e w ii !i tho inost modern scientific knowh-?gv. There will be an abundance of hot and cold water baths. The mess hall is pro? vided with forty-two tables, each seating twelve students. The tableware and linen are neat, substantial and suitable for their purpose. Two hundred and eighty-one persons breakfasted there yesterday morning and were served com? fortably and promptly, the breakfast con? sisting of wheat and com breads, hominy, coffee and milk, all well cooked. The kitchen is under the charge of T. J. Gal? loway, formerly of tho Mississippi State college. The students will be divided into four squads, under the care of Lieutenant Donaldson. Reveille will be sounded every morning at 6.30. Breakfast will be served at 7.20. Recitations will hegiu at 8.10 and continue until 12.30. Dinner will be served at 1 o'clock and recitations in practical worn will be continued from 2 o'clock to 4 o'clock, at which time there will be drill followed by retreat. The tattoo will be beat at 10 o'clock and "taps"?"all lights out" at 10.30 p. m. The following is the income of the col? lege for the present fiscal year, beginning October 21st, 1892': Land scrip.8 5,700 Clemson bequest, interest..... 4,000 Hatoh'fuhd. 15,000 Morrill fund.:. 9,500 Tax tags.;. 50,000 Tuition fees, etc. 3,500 887,709 The registration up to 7 o'clock this this evening Bhows 228 students in Clem? son.

Darlington, July 7.?Judge Hudson to-day decided that the Evans dispensa? ry law is unconstitutional. This decision was made in the ease of several freehold voters of the town of Darlington against the county board of control and J. B. Floyd as dispenser, in which- the free? holders petitioned that an injunction be issued restraining the board or Mr. Floyd from opening. a dispensary here. The in) unction was asked for on the ground that the dispensary law is unconstitution? al and that J. B. Floyd, who was appoint? ed dispenser, did not have a majority of the freehold voters upon his petition for appointment. The main point upon wbioh Judge Hudson decided the law to be unconsti? tutional is that the State takes a business from the individual and oreates a monop? oly in it for itself. That prohibitory laws are constitutional, but that the Evans bill is not'such a law, but on the contrary is a law for revenue or profit. He also said that the famous Wilson Act of Congress does not prohibit the railroads from bringing from without the State liquor to citizens within the State. When the sale of liquor is 'prohibited by State law a citizen cannot sell it, but that | it is his property, and the railroads can deliver it to him. This opinion on the Wilson Act was given* parenthetically and it do?s not bear upon the case at is? sue. Judge Hudson further, decided that Floyd's appointment was illegal as he did not have a majority Of the freehold voters upon his petition. The Judge, therefore, issued an order restraining the county board and Mr. Floyd from open? ing a dispensary until further order from the Court. This, of course, is the most important decision rendered in this State in many Sears and will be read with great interest y everyone in South Carolina. Messrs. Netties A Nettles, who represented the freeholders, were sustained in every point by the decision, wbioh disinterest? ed lawyers pronounced to be a particu? larly strong and able one, Messrs* Boyd & Brown represented Mr. Floyd, and Assistant Attorney General Buchanan and Solicit Dr Johnson appeared for the board of control. Tbe legal fight was a vigorous and bard fought one, lasting nearly two days. Judge Hudson is now putting his reasons. for the decision in writing, which I will forward to (he News and Courier as soon as filed. Columbia, July 8.?The talk of the town has been the unexpected decision of Judge Hudson declaring the E vans dispensary law unconstitutional. No one here expected it, and it appears that pot evun the lawyers interested in the case expected so far-reaching a decision. One thing is certain, the decision is not at all pleasant news to the State authori? ties, and they are going to have an ap? peal made just as soon as possible in the hope of overruling the decision. Of course it will be interesting to know what Governor Tillman has to say about the decision. In this case he has shown very much more than his wonted reserve in talking about public matters, and when seen about tbe decision to-day said: "I want to see the decision before I undertake to criticise or comment upon the decision, One thing is certain, we will appeal from the de cision by the quickest way possible." ^.i Major Townsend, being in the Govern? or's office at the time, was asked by what means the case would be brought up on an appeal, and he replied that no decision had yet been reached, and that it depen? ded upon tbe text of the decision as to what course would be pursued. Major Townsend is of the opinion that the peo? ple want the dispensaries and that they are from now on going to be regularly established. It will be interesting to know what some of the leading lawyers have to say about the decision. This morning one of the ablest lawyers and an Ex-Judge and ac? tive practitioner said to me: "I have all along regarded the dispensary bill as a usurpation of power on' the part of the General Assembly, The claim, that it was passed in the exeroise of tbe police power, is a mere pretext, and when the claim is brought to the test of judi? cial arbitrament they cannot in my Judg? ment prevail. The ground upon which , the bill has been passed is based upon the power of the j$tate- to care for the moral and tbe social' wepare and health of the country, and it is ?im ply a grim j joke to say that the State oau prohibit a private person from selling whiskey when in tbe same breath it provides that the State may do that very selfsame thing. It ps sfmply a law to create a monopoly in nieronand?sablo articles in order to raise a revenue for ?be State, and it is a bold pse of authority to enforce it as an exercise of the police 'power. This I take to be the meaning of Judge Hudson's opinion, and I think it is cor? rect." . The exact significance of Judge Hud? son's opinion Is not known, and there has been all kinds of speculation as to {low it would affect the law as well as the iquor men. An Ex-Attorney General add one of ,:.be most distinguished law? yers in tue State to-.day said that the de? cision of Judge Hudson ' was binding only In tbe case heard until it was re? versed by the Supreme Court, if reversed at all. "Is it a precedent binding upon anoth? er Circuit Judge?" '"No. Judge. Hudson's decision only decides this case and does not affect any other case except for the value pi the ar? gument." v "What will be tbeeffectof the law upon dealers in tho county ?" "The law having been declared uncon? stitutional would very probably lead Judge H udson to order a violation of the particular law to be of no force, and he would probably direct the jury to acquit apy map of a violation of the law, pro? vided he was protected with a license." He went on to say that in conformity with bis opinion Judge Hudson would until otherwise ordered by tbe Supreme Court, bold the dispensary law to be unconstitutional, and it would amount to the same as if it had never been pass? ed. This would restore Darlington, or I any other county in which ha might [ make a ruling, to the same condition as I existed prior to tbe passage of the law, i and a mandamus might be secured to re { quire ibe county treasurer to issue a li? cense. Of course Judge Hudson's deois , ion might be reversed by other Judges in the State, and will not necessarily be of force in other counties of the State where tbe Judges may not be of tbe same opin? ion as Judge Hudson, It w ill hardly be yery long before sim? ilar proceedings are taken before other Judges, and it may not be very long be? fore tbe State dispensary will find itself much more crippled than at present? News and Courier. Charleston, S. OL, July 8.?An order has just been received from the clerk of the United States Circuit Court, restrain? ing tbe Bailroad Commission of South Carolina from enforcing; tbe provisions of their latest schedule of rates on liquor. High L. Bond, Jr., counsel for tbe Receivers of Richmond and Dan? ville Bailroad, went before Judge Hugh L. Bond, at Baltimore, and pre? sented a petition setting forth the cir? cumstances of the case, and praying for a temporary injunction and rule to show cause. The petition is quite lengthy, giving a complete history of the action of the railroad commission in the matter. The prlnoipal grounds on which the petition Is based' are that tbe commission con? strues the Act of the Legislature of South (V' litia in December, 1892, to make tbe ')?? igbi rates established by the commis? si'>n stand as fair and reasonable, with? out i.Mowing tbe roads to attempt to convince the commission to the contrary, that the action of tbe commission is null and void, inasmuch as tbe law, if con? strued as they interpret it, will be a viola? tion of the fourteenth - amendment to the Constitotion of the United States, and that he fixing of these unreasonably low prices on liquor in glass packages as the dispensary ships it, is an unlawful in terfe *ence with the property in the hands of tho receivers of tbe court. Judge Bond issued the order prayed for, Mid .the hearing of the case will come oll'nl Greenville, August 7. FARLEY TO 1KB?. Tbe Adjutant General Talks With Bark off. Spabtanburg, July 6.?Gen. Hugh L. Farley has been here several days. It was reported that he had prepared for tho press-a certain paper in vindication of bimself, and in doing that he a aim adverts on Senator Irby. This is an important chapter in Reform history and shows clearly that all Reformers are not of the same opinion. Gen. Farley prepared this pane? for "their papers," as they are called, and has mailed a copy to each one, as we understand. One of them has refused to publish it, and perhaps the others will. I have secured a copy for the Newa and Courier, which is herewith enclosed: j "Various articles in reference to poli? tics and the blacklisting which is going on haveappeared in the newspapers of this State and my name has been frequently used In connection therewith, but I have pa\d very little attention to them, regard? ing them as merely sensational, iu most cases, or as the petty malice of designing partius who only wanted to create more bitterness and division in the 'Reform' rankn, to which I did not wish to contri? bute. "Later developments, however, have convinced me that there is asettled, mali? cious and determined purpose on the {tart of certain parties, not only to black? ist, bot to misrepresent and malign me and others,- which has found expression, in such a way as to cause my friends to ask me the reason for it. The first inti? mation I had of it was in the appearance of tho following correspondence in the Augusta Chronicle, signed 'Craddock,' which appeared immediately after the inaugural of President Cleveland and was copied by various papers in this State : 'The leaders of the South Carolina Reform movement that assembled in Washington during tbe inauguration seemod to have more important business than Bight-seeing. The rank and file of the Reform movement in the State have, to all appearances, been satisfied with the leadership of Tillman and Irby, hot not so with some of tbe lieutenants. One of tbe State officials announced to a suppos? ed enomy of Governor Tillman and Sena? tor Irby that the following combination bad been agreed upon: Congressman Shell, who signed the prepared manifesto In 18 )0, and who, ad at once, recently, became so disgusted with politics and politic ian s that be had himself interview? ed announcing his retirement from poli? tics, iu to bo the Antl-Tlllmanite candi? date for Governor, posing as a healing plaster between the two factions. Sena? tor Butler is to be their candidate for re? election. Gen. Farley is to succeed Shell in Congress.'Mr. Talbertis to have no opposition from the Conservative faction for Congress, and is to receive the Con? servative support. The position of Adj ti? tan t General is said to have been offered Capt. J. H. Tillman, but it is likely he will not accept.' "La er an article appeared in the Lau? ren sy; lie Herald, in which the charge is made ;hat I attended a Donaldson caucus at Spartan burg, in which various parties mentioned as 'traitors,' etc., were 'shar? pening their Brutus daggers' for Ben Tillmun, and like expressions. Now, I would have been content to let these things go by without dignifying them by a denial, relying upon my record and character as a sufficient reputation with all Interested and well-informed parties. I and many others saw the animus and purpo :e with which they were written, and conld easily tell tbe source from which they came, but later developments have convinced me that it is my duty to expose them. It may be as well, how j ever, while I am writing, to say iu my own behalf, as well as the others named, I that tl ore is not one particle of truth in tbe alleged ?'combination' said to have been igreed upon in Washington, and that tfce whole thing sprang from malice and the imagination of one who-evidently aspire,; to be the 'champion liar' of the State. This is not.only a simple denial but a challenge to the real author of the .'Cradc'.ock' article, whom I shall name, to produce any credible evidence to sup? port h,a statement, If necessary I,will appeal to all tbe parties named, to Butler, Shell, Talbert and J. H. Tillman, as to whether there has ever been even a con? versation or intimation or effort at such a schema. Altbongb it is a small matter, it ma/ be well also to state,-by way of showi ig how lies are manufactured, that no Farley either previously knew of, was invited to or attended the so-called Don? aldson caucus, at which the 'Brutus dag? gers' were sharpened. Indeed, I am yet to be informed whether the caucus of Alliance men at Spartanburg had any political significance, and the first intima? tion that X attended it went from the Hon. Stanyarne Wilson to Columbia, and later the Laurensville Herald, which possibly got its information from the same touroe. The parties who attended Senate r Donaldson's Alliance caucus can easily tell who were expected, or invited to, or did attend the Donaldson caucus, as I suppose they had a right to do, ana also as to the object. This, however, is a mattet.' of little importance. As the 'blacklisting' aud the 'Craddock,' article charging a political combination com? menced in Washington, and has been fol? lowed up by various articles and inter? views in the papers, charging conspiracy, and -alluding to various parties as 'trai? tors.' 3tc.. to the 'Reform' movement, thus causing great dissatisfaction, confu? sion and suspicion, ?s well as threatening contention and division in our ranks, it is of tbe greatest importance to find out what la tbe cause of it, who is at the bot? tom of it or responsible for, and, in short, to inquire who is tbe real, author of 'Craddock.' "I w ill state simply that I have the evi? dence ip writing in my possession which shows,' 'with other facts that I aw in possession of, that one Senator John Laurons Manning Irby dictated the article to his private sec? retary . and had it sent to the Chronicle under the name of 'Craddock,' the regu? lar correspondent, without his knowledge and consent, and that the outrage would have been exposed (as it will be now) but for tbe peculiar circumstances and rela? tions existing at that time. I stand ready to give' my authority apd evidence on denial or demand. There |s the 'milk in the coooanut' and' the cause of all of the dissension and confusion in our ranks. This great 'political accident' and 'politi? cal misfortune,' who represents tbe greatest mistake of trie Reform move? ment, is at tho bottom of it all. "No wonder that we have discord and division in pur ranks, when a United States Senator descends to such dirty and disgraceful methods of injuring; his for? mer personal and political friends and allies, who have rendered far greater ser-! vice tLau he to the Reform party. "Now, the object and animus ( * Sena? tor Irby is perfectly clear. Aftei prov? ing bimself a political failure in Wash? ington and realising that ins political hold a id dictatorial power' is about uuad in South Carolina; after losing all his Batron age and influence in Washington y bis fool course there, whero ho rashly declared, although the State "Chairman of the whole Democracy, that he did not want any reconciliation' among the Dem? ocrats of South Carolina; after, in short, making an ass qf. and subjecting himself to the scorn and ridicule qf tpe whole country, he turns in his eo vy, malice and disappointment upon Congressman Shell to denounce him and to blacken and blacklist every man who, he thinks, can? not be made a tool of and will not submit to his dictation, Knowing that be has no real power or influence qf bjs own, he tries iu every way to drag Governor Till? man into the quarrels, to attach himself to him like a Siamese twin, hoping to save himself, and under the cry of 'The leadernhip of Tillman and Irby' to brand the rest, who do not approve of his foolish and unprincipled methods, as 'traitors' to the 'Reform movement' and ss sharpen? ing their 'Brutus daggers for Bon Till? man.' "H4& purpose is to bully and keep down every other political leader In South Carolina who belongs to tbe Reform party ind will not do his bidding, by using Governor Tillman's name and influence in connection with his own, to create suspicion and distrust, and then with bis former cry of bale and discord to rais&old Cain and keep bell a-brewing until be can get back into tbe Senate. "Th( simple truth is that tbe 'Reform movement' is a permanent buccoss and is in no danger except from such men as Irby. The only 'traitors' to it are those who would divert It from its true purpose and prostitute it to their own base and ambitious aims aud ends, and Governor Tillman will bo sale if he will be true to the Steto, the Reform movement and to himself, and he may well say: 'From such friends and advisers as Senator Irby good Lord deliver me.' 'Sis for Congressman Shell, I know that be is trying to do his duty to his God, his State, tho people and the Reform movement, and the treatment he has received at the hands of Senator Irby makes the basest ingratitude I have ever known, even among politicians. He found a frozen viper, took it to his bosom, warmed it into life and is now being repaid In denunciation and anonymous thruats. I will not say anything of in-' gratitude to myself, aa to our former personal, and as I thought friendly rela? tions, for I have long since found that I would have.to class all my connections with him as a part of my criminal prac? tice as a lawyer, for which I am possibly being justly repaid. I only know, so far as the Reform movement is concerned, that I was present at its conception and birth nnder Gen. M. W. Gary, in 1677 8-9; I stood sponsor at its christening in the March Convention in 1889, when Governor Tillman was nominated, and as one cf its principal nurses and defen? ders I have seen it grow into strength, manhood and success; but now, if it is to be turned over to the tender mercies of such a stepfather as J. L. M. Irby, I am alraid that it is destined to meet an untimely death. When Govornor Till? man first started bis work as a new-found leader of tbe movement he sought my aid and assistance. The whole State knows how I stood by his side in the hours and days of difficulty and danger. He has had my cordial support and assis? tance in his Administration and none but calm and dispassionate oounsel, which could make no enemy and injure no cause. ? When I disagreed with him I have frankly and kindly said so, and, as a member of his Administration, I have kept silent. So long as he is true to what I consider the best interests of tbe State and tbe Reform movement, he is entitled to the same consideration, because there has never been the slightest disturbance of our personal, official or political rela? tions. I say this much in justice to him and myself, but I want it distinctly un? derstood, both now and hereafter, if I am to support him or any other man it must be of my own free will because of the principles he presents and for the good of the State, and not in obedience to the dragooning of any man or set of men. Such things may do for slaves or cow? ards, but not for free men who call them? selves Reformers. "We did not fight for ten long - years to secure independence of thought and action and to free ourselves from an autocratic ring in order to establish a new one of a more dangerous and arbitrary character. I want it understood also . that I will not follow or be governed by such men as Irby, who, if allowed to have his way, would not only blacklist us all, but drag tbe State into bloodshed and actual revolution in order to accom Elish his selfish purposes and to gratify is malice and ambition. He represents and personifies this idea and policy, while I do not believe that it is. wiBe, statesmanlike or patriotic, much less Christian-like, to try to continue, and to increase, as he evidently desires, the Eresent bitterness and discord in the emouratic party. It can only lead to disorder, riot, bloodshed and ruin. "I am sorry that I feel compelled to make this exposure, but I cannot, and will not, submit to the long continued private as well as anonymous abuse and misrepresentation of this lond-mouthed, vulgar-mannered, bully and braggart, who has already disgraced us in Wash? ington, and is now bringing discord into our own ranks by playing tbe part of a dictator and a tyrant. He has no good record and has done nothing for the State, party or the Reform movement worthy of distinction, unless it be for strutting around Washington, as my old friend Cash would say, 'Tike a big buck nigger on* Emancipation Day,' while be Is trying to make our innocent and un? suspecting people believe that the bray of a jackass is the roar of a lion. "I am, very respectfully, H. L. Farley." Iowa's Terrible Tornado. Sioux City, Iowa. July 7.?A telegram from Fonda states that five entire families were blown away at Alta, but the full list of fatal accidents cannot be had. D. T. Miller is known to have been killed. Mrs. Gordon was killed instantly by the wreck, of her house and nothing has been found of the family of seven. No trace can be found of Edward Sargeant and his family of five. They are supposed to be dead. Sam Heraham, wife and two children are missing. Mrs. Hers ham was in confinement when tbe storm* broke. All were blown away and are thought to be dead. Trains arriving from the East on tho Illinois Central came into Sioux City last night with all tbe glass in the cars bro? ken. Tbe train men say they ran through a severe bail storm, but encountered no great wind. At Quirn by, a little town east of Chero? kee, many hpqses are reported wrecked, and at least two persons are known to have been killed, They are Mrs. Allep War bar ton and Mrs. Mollneaux, When news can be had from the country it is expected that the loss of life will be found to be / very great, as the region through which the oyolone passed is thickly pop? ulated. Fort Dopoe, Iowa, July 7.?Pomeroy, a town of nlue hundred inhabitants in Calhoun County, was partially wiped out last night by a oyolone. Between fifty and one hundred persons were killed and nearly two hundred injured, most of whom will die. The scene were appall? ing as men went. about wit" laptgrns among the debris. In some instances entire families were wiped out, their mangled remains being found in the ruins of their homes. The south half of the town was razed. There was no place to care for the injured, and a church just outside the track of tho storm was used as a hospital, Des Moines, Iowa, July 7.?Governor Boies has received a telegram from Vice President Harrigan, oi the Illinois Cen? tral Boad, now at Pomeroy, stating that thirty-seven dead bodies have been found in that locality. r a latter account from pomeroy. Pomeroy, Iowa, July 7.?Fifty-three dead, seventy-fife fatally Injured and one hundred -?nd fifty with Rrokep Ijmbs, outs and ~uise8 more or less severe? this is - . tbe tornado of last night aocomp. ->hod in tbe matter of casualties. The towi of Pomeroy is one complete wreck, lnere is scarcely a house left standing. About fifteen acres of debris constitute now what was yesterday a village. Splinters are all that remain. Scarcely a' tree remains. Piles of broken timbers and occasional pieces of furniture are all that can be found of what were once the largest buildings in the place. Two hundred and fifty houses were in all destroyed, and the money loss on these and their contents is placed at 8200, ooo. ' ' 'f ' ' ' The tornado, for such it was, came from tbe northwest. All who saw it agree that it was hot of the funnel shape species, but came bounding along the prairie like a huge bail, It was of a dark green color and accompanied by a terrific noise, Many saw it when it was far out of town. Those gave the alarm and many were prepared for tbe monster when it reached tbe village. Most of the people, however, became panic-stricken. They ran out of their houses and fled up the streets, crying and shrieking till struck by the flying timbers of whirling trees. The cooler ones, 'however, especially those who were near to them, made for two caves in the southeast part of the town, built especially for such occasions as this. Into one of these caves collected twenty-five people and in another one five, All escaped without a scratch. It is pretty iyell agreed that the tornado struck the town about ?.50 o'clock. Half an hour before this it was exceedingly sultry and save for a few small clouds there was no evidence of tbe approaching whirlwind. The tornado was of but few minutes' duration and was followed by a terrific rain storm, which continued at intervals' more or less throughout the night. The path of the storm seems to be about' an eighth of a UjUp wide and twenty miles long. The death list out in the country is heavy, and many of the neighboring towns roport many casualties, In Fair field, in Cherokee County, the number of dead is fifteen. Eight more are reported killed at Storm Lake, and many other places give notice of one or two deaths. It was pot until noon to-day that tbe work of rescue began, By that time there was a good supply of doctors, not large enough, however, to care for the wounded, LadieB of Fort Dodge went as nurses, and there was a plentiful supply of bedding and food, As rapidly as possible the injured were taken to improvised hospitals and given medical attention. The buildings were inadequate to tbe needs of the injured. A company of militia from Fort Dodge brought their tents, and these were used for hospital purposes. Tbe heat of the sun was very great, the thermometer rising among the nineties. The tents were very hot, and deaths among the injured were very frequent, The intense heat made it impossible to keep tbe bodies of the dead, and those that were not claimed by relatives or friends and by them buried or taken away by noon were placed in the graveyard by tho officials. Forty graves were dug and filled with dead up to 9 o'clock this evening, and at that hour the flitting lanterns in the cem? etery showed plainly that the work of burial was going on still. Hundreds of willing hands dragged the dead and dying animals, with which the ground seemed to be literally strewn to tbe outskirts of town, piled thetn in heaps and covered them with the remains of houses and applied the torch. Fully a dozen of these strange bonfires were kept going all tbe afternoon. Whole families were in many instances wiped out by the tornado, and in houses that contained from tour to eight persons not more than one escaped alive. Hus? bands have been left without wife or children, children are left orphans and there are fifteen or more women in Pom eroy to-night v. ho have neither husbands nor children left. At Quimby, south of Cherokee, wbero the storm started, Mrs. Molyneanx and Mrs. Lester were instantly killed. Five miles south of Aurelia, Samuel Burch and wife and three children were killed, also a farm hand named Johnson: Lulu and Ella Slatter and a Swede girl were killed. Five miles southwest of Storm Lake E. J. Breeton and child and a man named Bottmann were dashed to death. A family of five persons, living five miles south of Newell, died in tbe awful temp? est, Mrs. Gorton and three children and John Detwiler were killed three miles southwest of Fonda. &-qgai; hews.
