Petroleum V. Nasty, the bad-spelline
humorist, whose name was D. R. Locke
before he became known to fame, paid q
flying visit to Chicago yesterday. Mr.
Nasty retained from European trip
about four weeks ago, and this was hii
first visit to Chicago since March, 1882
when he lectured to large audience in
Central Music Hall on the Irish land ques
ton, his lecture being based on persona
observations made among the poorer
classes OF Parnell's countrymen when he
made a tour Of Great Britain.
A Tribune reporter met Mr.. Easby at the
Grand Pacific last evening and asked him
how long he intended remaining in the
city.

In the steamship Spain, which brought

100 ofthem had tickets to Chicago. There

Many English mechanics are going tc
Hungary for the same reason, and 1t Is my
opinion that England, inside Of two years

Coming back TO his European travels
and the great cities he had visited, Mr..
Nasty said OF Roms that II was becoming

business blocks, and hotels as fine as those
possessed by Chicago. This Improvement
he credited to the fact that Rome had
passed from under the control ofthe priests
to the control OF the civil authorities.

when It comes to politics they won't allow
the church to stand between them and
their rights. They say they must have
bread and butter, and the Pope, on finding

his pronunciamento."
MI. Nasby's opinion Of the French Re-
public Is that 1t will last forever.
Coming back to home matter and poll
tics, Mr.. Nasty expressed the opinion that
Judge Foraker would carry Ohio, although
Il was probable the liquor question would
