Done out of s

URBANA, ILL.,, Oct. ga neat.and
successful confidence game was played
here yesterday by a couple of Chicago
sharpers that has caused considerable
excitement. Several days ago a young
man representing himselfas Mr.. B%lanton,
an insurance agent of Decatur, ILL.,, rem
ted a room for a few days at the residence
Of Mrs James Porter, and displayed a lot
of papers and documents around the room
to give it a business like appearance, and
pretended to be very busy. In the mean
time mis- confederate was about town
getting pointers and seeking n victim.
After fully maturing his plans he called
at the residence OF James Harrison. an
old resident Of this city, and negotiated
with him for the purchase of a horse,
representing himself as James Busey,
son Of the Hon. II. S. Busey, and nephew
of Col S. 7. Busey, the banker. Failing
to agree upon the price, they repaired to
the home of Mrs. Porter, TO consult Blu
sey's partner. Shortly after their arrival
at the house Busey told Harrison that he
owed Blanton 81. 800 and that the latter
had threatened to tell his uncle, S. II.
Busey, il he didn't pay Immediately.
He further stated that his uncle was al
ready on his bond for $4,000, and for
this reason he wanted the matter kept a
profound secret. He said he was a banker
at Danville, ILL.,, and hat he wanted the
money only for a few days and he would
give his note for the amount and slO0
as interest, The man seemed so familiar
with the names of the entire Busey fam
lily that Mr.. Harrison readily granted his
request and let him have the money. II
was not until evening that Mr.. Harmison
discovered he had been swindled. In the
meantime the rogues had skipped. They
have been identified by parties who hav,
seen them in Chicago. One is about Z
feet II inches tall, and the other about
feet 81 inches; and both are heavy set
with dark compilations.

Protesting Against the Order

MONTREAL, Oct. 22.-The resolution
Of the local board of health, calling upon
the central board to close the churches, is
meeting with great opposition. Monsig-
nor Fabre, the Catholic bishop, at mass
this morning, denounced the idea in UNI
measured terms, saying the authorities
need not think they can bring about such
an unprecedented resolution as the sup
preston of public religion at the time of
a calamity like the present. Bishop
Bond, of the Anglican Communion, has
also spoken against. it, while Father
Dowd, of st. Patrick and Rev. MI.
Stone, of St. Martin Anglican, say they
will absolutely refuse to comply with the
measure should it be enforced. The mum
Der of cases OF small pox in the civic hos
pital up to date is 4S5, of which lis died.

An Interview with Riels Counsel.

LONDON, Oct. 22.-In an interview to-
day, Fitzpatrick, Riel's Canadian counsel,
said: 1T is impossible to pretend that
Riel was unfairly tried. No doubt at the
time of the outbreak in the Northwest
grievances existed, which have since been
remedied. Riel commenced the agitation
from purely political motives. Many peo-
pie still consider that he rendered valuable
service to the country. Doubtless excite
ment rendered him incapable OF keeping
the rebellion within the legal limits. On
the scaffold Riel will become a martyr, in
prison or in an asylum he would be for
gotten In the face of the conflicting
medical evidence in Riel's case, Fitzpat-
rick advocated the appointment by the
Canadian government of a commission to
again examine the prisoner.

One night last week Adolphus
Barrier, of Mount Pleasant, had
occasion to look for some medicine
in a bureau drawer. While search
ing for it a spark dropped from his
light, igniting about a half pound
of powder, which was near. He
was knocked senseless to the floor.
Fortunately, though burned consid>
erably in the face, his eyes were
not injured, and he is now doing
well.-Concord Times.
About the meanest trick we have
heard Of lately was the malicious
poisoning of dog at Salisbury the
other day. The dog, a very fine
setter valued at $1,000, was the
property OF some Northern gentle>

Field Trials at High Point, and
who had stopped over, by request,
at Salisbury for day or two. The
citizens, who regretted the occur.
renee very much, offered a reward
Of $50 for the perpetrator of the
mean deed.-Rockingham Rocket.

quick enough and the rear one was
run over and instantly killed, being
horribly mangled. The mans name
was Harry Welsh. He was prin>

be about twenty-five years Of age.

OUR POSITION rs TO THE ADMIN
LSIRAIION.

Of course U. S. Senator who
wants the Federal patronage to dis
tribute amerge his friends aud sup
porters, will not come out and cons
denim Mr.. Cleveland and his secre-
taries for refusing to remove Rep ub-
licans and appoint Democrats nor
criticize them for any of their blum
ders and short comings, because
that would clean their bread of but
ter, and butter is one of the objects
they are after. Nor would it be right
in them to differ with Cleveland on
minor matters, nor upon any issue
unless it should become necessary
in the defence and maintenance of
the great foundation principles of
Republican institutions. Yet SEN
ator, or representative or any other
mau has an iDalienable right to his
opinions and right, to express them
upon the policy of the administration
as Mr.. Cleveland has. AS to
whether they will exercise this
| right depends upon the
temperament. judgment, dis
erection and objects in view Of each
man. Now in our view of this mat.
ter, when a public servant thinks
himself too good and too great to be
criticized by his supporters and
friends, it is time he had retired from
public life. We disapprove of the
principle of retaining Republicans
in Office under Democratic admin
istration, provided honest and faith
full Democrats can be found to re-
place them. We think we are honest
in our opinion, and we think we are
right, therefore we disapproye of Mr.
Cleveland's policy of appointing Re-
publicans to office, if he can find
Democrats or men who voted for
him qualified to fill these places
Next we cannot give our consent
to retain any man or set of men in
political office for life, therefore we
cannot support the civil service law
as we understand it. If an officer or
appointee cannot be removed except
for cause, when he gets in and makes
a good officer, he is in for life, unless
to be Democrat or Republican is
sufficient cause. In fact we are op-
posed to life tenure in Office under
any circumstances, and to retaining
Republicans under Democratic ad-
minis tratlou or Democrats Under any
Republican administration. As we
understand Mr.. Cleveland he believes
in the English System Of civil Ser.
vice. We do not.
We verify believe that public
office is public trust and should be
administered upon business princi>
pies, but for our life, we cannot un>
derstand why the duties and func>
tons of these places sad offices can
not be discharged on business prin,
ciples as we'll by Democrats as by
Republicans.
Is Mr.. Cleveland Democrat and
does he discharge the duties of his
high station strictly on business prin.
ciples? Then why can he not put
Democrats in and then compel them
