A DAsHING BUSINESS.
A Merchant Prince Buys n Ticket
from Omaha and Leaves. '''.

OMAHA, NEB., June 29.-T. s. Smith,
who aspired to be known as the merchant
prince of the prairies, paid his bill at a
local hotel yesterday, checked his trunk
for yariously reported points and left for
parts unknown taking, it is said, 800, 900
in cash with him.
Smith came here eight months ago
from Chicago. He had $75, 900 which lie
invested in the dry goods business, of
which he was apparently wholly igno-
rant. He at once began running NAM
mouth excursions into the city
rom distant points purchasing
the complete advertising space of the daily
papers and performing other like feats.
His prices reduced other merchants to u
point where they were forced to go slow
or break. He carpeted the streets for
he pedestrians, gave open-air con-
Ierts for the poor, played poker ex-
tensiyely and specialized in the Chicago
grain pits.
Some time ago it was thought that he
and his creditors placed men here to
watch matters. These men hud decided
to close the place to-day. At Ii
late hour last night Smith trans
ferred his stock to Cole IL Com.
pany, II new firm from the enst
the consideration being 100000 and
$40, 900 in three months. Smith said
little about his business and took lii
manager with him when lie left. j. "
Farwell 4 Co., of Chicago arelhe heaviest
creditors, their credit to him being about
| $25, 900.

Over the signature "a Londoner," an
Englishman now sojourning this country
records in The Critic his first weeks i'm
pressions in New York. He saw the
Decoration Day parade, and though he
has lived for 20 years in great English
military station, he has never seen finer
looking regiment than the Seventh.
Senator Evarts' Grafton at the Academy
of Music in the evening impressed him az
comparing very fayorably with the recent
war speech of Mr.. Gladstone, between
whose style and the American orators he
seesa close resemblance. He was struck by
the beauty and solemnity of the consecra-
ton of the Garden City Cathedral. On the
other side of the account, he puts the
liberation of recitations by an actress aud
precocious child ut the Decoration Day
services presided over by the mayor,
where Mr.. Evarts spoke and the President
of the United States was in attendance !;
and he is shocked ut the general want of
reverence of the people, us manifested
to give but IL single instance-at II recent
session of the supreme court which he
attended. The article is an interesting
and suggestive one.

PRESS OPINIONS.

The work of efficient heads of bureaus
comes after officers are appointed. We
have not word to say against, but every
thingin favor, of capable heads of bureaus.
But what can the head of bureau do if
he is forced to employ the people put
into his charge by politicians We have
said again and again that the object of
civil service reform is not merely or
chiefly to improve the service. The first
great object is to remove II corrupting in
fiuence from our politics. The Yice-Pres-
dent does not seem to grasp this idea, but,
what is much more to the purpose, the
President does, and he is faithfully stand
ing by it.-BOstOn Herald.
One of the morning papers reports Mr.,
Hendricks as asking, by the way, who
are we going to elect President next
time I" He evidently is not SO enamored
of President Cleveland rs to have him
constantly in his mind, for it is notable
that the existence of Cleveland was not
recognized by him in his speech. That
will not produce any conceivable differ
ence in public opinion, however. So far
us it has any effect, the influence will be
seen in an increase of Cleveland's popu-
larity. Mr.. Cleveland is holding the
poltlclunb nv Duy. Leu MIN continue TINS
policy until the end of his term, and such
change may occur in the position of
parties as will render his administration
one of the most noteworthy of recent
times.-BOston Transcript (Rep.).
Until President Cleveland's inaugura-
ton the section generally spoken of as
''the South" was seldom recognized as
portion of the United States. The Union
is now understood to comprise SO states
and nine territories. Sectional lines are
being obliterated, and the man from
Texas and the man from Maine once
more feel that they are citizens of q
common country. Instead of weakening,
Democratic administration has strength
ened public confidence. It has shown
wisdom, prudence, devotion to all interests
directly affecting the people, and an
economy in expanding the peoples
money unknown to the preceding Re-
publican administration. The splendid
record made by the Democracy forces
the Republican platform makers to
frantic efforts to revive the bitter
memories of the late war, in the vain
hope of once more arraying brother
against brother and section against
section.-Little Rock Gazette, Dem.

A Priests Friends Enraged because
He Feels Forced TO Resign.

49, WE n 0AGgM " NtgnAk he
ToLHDo, o., June 2s.-The priest of
the parish in which the riot occurred last
night, the Rev. Vincent Sewandasld, has
for the past three years In some way
made himself obnoxious to portion of
his flock, but has heretofore refused to
resign, asserting that the bishop would
not fill his place should he leave. Yes
terday, however, he gave notice from the
pulpit that he would leave them yes
terday. This seems TO infuriate
his friends, and shortly after the
close of services, an angry crowd col
lected and went to the saloon of Peter
Szelaszkiewiez, who was strongly sus-
pected of being implicated in the attempt
to blow up the priests house week ago,
where fight was soon started. Szelasz-
kiewiez was driven from the house and
several shots fred at him, but he escaped
with a wound in the hand.
The mob then attacked the house Of
Albert Dalkowski close by, and, entering
the house, dragged him and his wife out
aud shot him several times and beat him
terribly over the head with clubs killing
him. His wife was also badly dubbed
and is likely to die, The mob COM
pletely demolished the house. During
the riot many shots were fred, one striking
a bystander named Martin Dobroczki and
instantly killing him. Several persons
engaged in the fight were more or less in
jured. The scene of the riot is over two
miles from the police station, but force
of policemen were on the ground as
as possible and arrested IL or 10
of the leading rioters and Jailed them.
Not less than 100 men, women and child
rem were engaged in the fight.
