John r. smith, Proprietor OF Two Botoi'
Disappears,


John +. Smith, proprietor Of the Cross
Keys hotel, aud more recently lessee OF
the City hotel, disappeared from Lancaster
on Wednesday last aud has not since been
heard from. The circumstances as We
have gathered them are briefly these ::
After Mr.. Ferd Rahter, of Philadelphia,
had purchased from Mr.. II. II. Power the
lease aud furniture of the City .hotel he
negotiated with Mr.. Smith to take charge
of 1t and gave him possession month ago,
Mr.. Smith agreeing to furnish ample 50
curlty and naming Eli Eshleman, a reliable
gentleman, as his bondsman. Mr.. Eshlemau
declined to become his surety, and it was
then stated that Mr.. John Bair, of York
Furnace, a relative of Mrs. Smith, would
become surety. On Wednesday last Mrs.
Smith aud Mr.. Rahter went to York
Furnace, had an interview with Mr.. Bair,
and everything was satisfactorily fixed ;
but on their return to Lancaster Mr..
Smith was not to bo found and has not
since been heard from. Mr.. John Boyle,
conductor on the Pennsylvania railroad,
thinks he saw him an the train between
Lancaster and Columbia on Wednesday
afternoon. Mrs. Smith, who is an esti-
mablo lady, is much distressed at the uu.
accountable absence OF her husband.

SOME of the English guests at the
recent opening of the Northern Pacific
railroad shamed the lavish hospitality OF
their American friends. One underbred
MILFORD, who had Il ticket of invi alton
for himself, brought over his whole
family and servants to deadhead and
deadbeat their way on the excursion he
not only demanded whole car for his
folks, but sent his laCkies into the car
OF other people, better than himself, to
eat. A pair Of boy brats insisted on
carrying thirteen trunks filled with daisy
fresh white linen suits and had all their
drinks charged to Rufus Hatch. This
kind of people and their performances
had to be finally suppressed by mild sug
gestions that American railways pro
vided stock cars well adapted for their
use. OF course the well.mannered
foreigners were as much disgusted at
their conduct as anybody, and it en-,
forced upon their minds the impressive
lesson that the manners Of a people art
not to be judged from the conduct of al
exceptional hog who gets abroad with
out ring In his nose.

THE Chinese being barred direct en-
trance into the United States smuggle
themselves IN through British Columbia.
For q democratic government such as
ours, to exclude the people of any nation
from our shores, particularly when they
are left open to the African, seems very
absurd and inconsistent. There is moth
ing urged against the Chinamau save
that he is industrious and economical.
He is a money maker, rather than a
money spender. But this quality is a
very excellent one in the labOrng pOpu
lation of a country; it is labor that
makes the country's wealth. The Chi
naman makes a useful citizen. The white
laborers of the Pacific coast, who object
to his competition, have the same reason
to offer in objection to the labor of ma
chinery. That is a vain objection and
is not needed. If We have enough people
in this country, our doors should be
closed to all immigration. There is no
reason to make an exception against the
Chinaman. If we want more people,
we want them to be OF an industrious
honest and peaceful class and these
qualities the Chinaman has.

1t will be a very good power to execute.

Lovett and Henry Allen, q greaser, went
up on the top to weigh down the gover-

deck. While the two men were working
at the valve the boiler blew up. There
was no warning whatever, and the steam
gauge registered only fifty eight pounds.
The entire back of the boiler blew out and
the immense mass of metal crashed
through the upper deck, made several
revolutions, and fell through to the lower
deck within a few feet Of the stern. The

UNDER the operations of the internal
revenue law the high wines and alcohol
30 extensively used in the mechanical
arts of this country carry tax of from
800 to 500 per cent, which the American
manufacturer must pay, while they are
shipped abroad for the use of the foreign
manufacturer free from tax. There is
no sense nor justice in this policy of
ruthless discrimination against the home
manufacturer, and it is one of the thou
sand reasons why the internal revenue
tax must go.
