SMicu mat wnicu was uoi true Air. Kvuus um
tint maico any threat to shoot tho reporter but

ment was not corrected ho would go to tho

Turner added significantly that he did rot
allow such scenes to occur In his court Mr.

ney Evans ho declined to say anything be) ond
that It was a personal matter between himvulf

ANotiiblo VeidictT
Tho trial ofStillwcIl II. Itu&scll In tho United
States court at tbU place which eamo to a ter-
mination night before last was n nolnblo one
nnd ono that bus attracted attention all over
tho country. Every United States Marshal
was Interested In tho trial and tho Depart incut
of Justice was greatly Interested so much so
that It is possible too much was done to brlmr
about tho verdict that was obtained
Hut abovo all others the party tho most In-
terested In this and all other cases wherein
honesty In the administration of a public trust
Is tho essential clement now and Is tho people;
and whllo every ono will sympathize
with tho Innocent wife and sis-
ters and friends of Itussell and his many
friends will feci a pong for him yetthogrcnt
public will hull with sutlsluctlon tho llrm oath-
like stand taken by twelvo good men drawn
from their midst who In tho fnco of tears and
human sympathy dealt out the law as It
stands nnd proclaimed that all men stand
equal boforo tho law. And what gives force
and emphasis to the verdict Is tho character
und standing of the Jury; a Jury composed of
as good men us llvo lu Vt cstcru Texas coming
from vurloussoctlons of thu district till having-
n good standing at homo and each pne bearing
a namo which is tlio Bynonym ot honor whero
ho lives.
Itussell hold a hlvh and hunorablo ofilce and
perhaps thu most lucrative In the State. Ho
had an opportunity to do as tho present Mar-
shal is doing and always has done mako a llrm
faithful and painstaking olllccr and nt tho same
tlmo "como homo" to tho people lu away to
mako Ids namo a household word u namo that
all love to speak and speaking honor. Hut
such was not Russell's policy. Ilo utterly
neglected his office and sent forth to outrage
tlio decency and respect of our pooplo as un-
godly und rascally a set of deputies us over
Infested a country having nothing in common
with our peoplo bent on costs ana costs alone
and making tho Innocent to suffer along with
tho guilty that costs might uccruo. Itussell
saw all of this or should havo seen It; ho
stood by und saw thousands nnd thousands
enumerated In his "costs" columns and with
absolute Imperturbability drew not only his
shuro but took 40 per cent of each doputj'u
share even on "actual expense" accounts and
then went further and cushod public drafts at
private bunks und used tho money.
Itussell Is a good fellow a capital good fol-
low nnd wo do not bluino his associates who
aro now cut off from his great bounties for
wailing and deploring his lute but wo think
the best thing thoy can do Is to chip in nnd
kcop their friend In a practical way Instead of
standing around and cursing tho court and an
honest Jury for doing their duty.
Tlio general public solemnly confirms tho
verdict.
AN 1UISU I.15AUKK.
Notes nf tho Life nnd Adventures of Col-
onel II. O'Sulllvuu lturke.
Colonel R. O'Sullivan IJurke who will
address the citizens on next Saturday evening
at the Casino hall is one whose intimate rela-
tionship to eveiy eventful period in the history
of Ireland since 1865 justly qualifies him as
an authority on the Irish question. Serving
during the war having entered the army as a
private in 1861 and leaving It In July 1865
as Captain of Engineers he was appointed by
Colonel J O'Malioney as agent of the Irish
Republican Brotherhood in Paris but this
position he resigned when John Mitchell
after being released from Fortress Monroe
signified his willingness to serve in
raris ioionei uurxe was men as-
signed to the important duty of arm-
inc and equippinc Ihe oreanlztftton
of the I. R. 1!. in Ireland This duty he per-
formed with security and advantage to the or-
ganization. He was subienncntlv placed in
charge as Executive of the English branch of
tne 1. k. 11. ana sun subsequently had charge
01 tne waierioru Kilkenny Southern Tip-
perary and Wexford division of the Irish or-
ganization In March 1867 .during the pro-
jected operation there. He was one of the
few officers who condemned tho policy of a
riling" when he realized the true condition
of the armament of the I R B On the ar-
rest of Colonel Thomas J Kelly In Manchester
in 1867 Colonel Iiurke became Chief Execu-
tive officer pro tern. and so remained
until the rescue of Colonel Thomss J. Kelly
in broad daylight in the heatt ol Manchester
restored him to his position Cotonel Burke
retiring to that of Director of the English
branch of the I. R. D. He was subsequently
arrested in London tried and couvicted re-
ceiving a sentence of 15 years penal servitude.
in IS72 ne was released and since men ne
has traveled extensively through Ireland
England Scotland and in this country lectur-
ing upon the Irish and labor questions. It
was he who conducted the case of Edward
O'M. Condon before the Department of State
and congress and introduced the measures
that indirectly compelled his release. It was he
who obtained from Congress the hall of the
House ol Representatives for Charles b.
1'trnell on February 2. 1880. Colonel
Burke's views on the Irish question are said
to be marked by a broad liberal character
but San Antonians will have an opportunity
of judging for themselves as to tbeir charac-
ter and the ability of the speaker on next
Saturday evening.
The address of Colonel Burke is to be fol
lowed by a ball which it Is eipected will be
largely attended.

Four hundred Texas cowbovs can orrran

things is to try the moral suasion of Winches
