NEW YORK, September 14.-This week

Anything Political He Sees
for the Asking.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW LONDON, September 14.-The an
nouncement that ex-Consul General Waller
is not to abide in England, but is coming
home to his beloved New London, has set
all the politicians of Eastern Connecticut to
talking. His whole political horoscope
has already been set up for him, ana
nothing more remains to be done but
for the little giant to get into gear with the
seers and belly them to verify their own pre-
dictions. "What's Waller coming back
for? After Charley Russell's place IN Con-
gress from this district, eh?'' said an anx-
ious looking veteran politician yesterday
"Or maybe he'll be looking for Senator'S
berth. Well, he can get either of those
places, fancy. He can be Congressman, at
any rate, for see he was shrewd enough not
to get tangled up with any Of those Engllsn
syndicates as their representative.
Since Barnum's death Mr.. Waller is
about the only strongly representative
Democrat and leader its party has In this
State, and if he comes home right away to
his own Connecticut chickabiddy, he can
have any Office he wants, in the gift OF the
State. He can be Governor or he can go to
Congress, either as Congressman or Senator.
For Mr.. Walters unique and superior
abilities the House no doubt would
be the most fitting sphere, and the
ex-Consul has long been credited with de-
sire to represent this black old Republican
Third district there. He probably Is the
only Democrat who could carry both New
London and Windham counties, and as his
opponent would be the present Congress
man, Charles Russell, a young man who
succeeded the veteran Colonel Wait, and
who has made only an ordinary record in
the House, there is little doubt that Mr..
Waller could win.
1t would be a close battle, as Russell's
Sabin Sayles, the big manu-
facturer, whom ne represents, rather than
the district in Congress, is the political boss
Of Windham county, in which the parties
are about even in strength.
Politics has been very dull in this part of
The State, but with Waller home the district
will have to wake up, and there is fun right
ahead.

WHEELING A VICTIM
OF a Clever Young Swindler Who
Worked the Entire Community.
he WAS A VERY LIBERAL CHAP,
And Made Contracts for q Circus on the
Most Generous Terms.
EVEN THE MAYOR is A LARGE LOSER

WHEELING, September 14.-One of the
boldest and most successful confidence
games ever played on an unsuspecting pub
lie was worked in Wheeling this week. A
week ago to-day small, smooth-faced,
dark-skinned man. calling himself Harvey
Lacey, arrived in Wheeling and proclaimed
himself the advance agent of Adam Fore
paugh's circus. He was a genial man, OF
good address. and proceeded to make friends
with everybody with whom a circus agent
usually comes in contact.
He made a contract with the Stale Fair
Association for the use of their grounds on
the island for two days, October and s. He
let the bar privilege of the grounds and
large number of other contracts. He was
much sought after. 1t is not often circus
agent with so liberal heart is seen.
A LIBERAL FELLOW.
He stopped at the Mcclure House and
made all sorts of liberal arrangements with
the hotels to feed ''my people" and with the
bill posters and others to do my work.
Nobody ever got the concessions l have,
said he. II am young fellow, but I'm the
Napoleon of contractors"
Toward the end of the week suspicion was
aroused by the peculiar actions of Lacey.
He had received large amount of money
in the way of small advances from men with
whom he had made contracts, the sums
ranging from S25 to $50 in each case, and
succeeded in lining his pockets with large
amount of money. The fact that he was
unable to tell where the Forepaugh show
has been exhibiting during the past week
looked peculiar, and a newspaper reporter
telegraphed to-day to Fort Dodge, Ia, to
Mr.. Forepaugh. in short time receiving
the following reply:
OPENED THEIR EYES.

The people at the Mcclure House, where
Lacey was stopping, were notified, and
warrant was issued for his arrest, which was
accomplished this afternoon. The news soon
spread, and the Justices Court was quickly
crowded with large and excited audience
of Lacey's victims Among those who were
swindled out OF large amounts of cash were
Mayor Seabright, Captain Sam Brubacker,

BUT HE is STILL In LONDON.

AMERICAN ACTRESSES IN LONDON
rBY CABLE TO THE DISPATCH |

LONDON, September 4-[Copyrightl. -
Paris went wild this afternoon on the report
that General Boulanger had secretly left
London and taken up his quarters at Jersey,
in order to be nearer his beloved France,
while still on the safe soil of England dur
ing the critical period OF the general elec-
tion. Boulanger, however, is still IN Lon
don, for saw him this evening at the Savoy
Hotel. where he was dining serenely with
Sir Moreu Mackenzie, Colonel Clarke and
a few other friends. He has been much
overworked of late, owing to an enormous
amount of correspondence and other busi-
ness open and occult, connected with the
elections, but he said he felt very well, in
deed, and he certainly enjoyed his dinner.
THE COMING STRUGGLE.
Frenchmen are beginning to take an in
terest in the coming struggle, which is to
decide the fate of the Republic. In the big
towns, notably Paris, Marseilles and Lyons,
the interest is shown chiefly in turbulent
meetings, factional fights and combats be-
tween rival billstickers. The other night
the autl-Boulangists attempted to prevent
humpbacked Monsieur Naquet taking the

locked the doors and GRATED with yigor to
which black eye seemed to give additional
zest.
THE GOVERNMENTS ACTIVITY.
This was in Montmartre, where Boulanger
has a good show of election, despite the
wbole.souled manner in which the Govern
meut agents are endeavoring to break up
his meetings and prevent the circulation of
his election literature.
If the Government obtains a majority
Boulanger's return will be promptly invali-
dated, as he is now legally an outlaw, but
there will be no difficulty if Revision is to
carry the elections. Monsieur Thevnet,
Minister of Justice, at a lively meeting in
Lyons described the coalition between Bou-
LANCER and the reactionarIes as a plot
against the Republic, and his constituents
emphasized the argument with a brickbat
On the other hand a TOO ardent Government
supporter shot and wounded Conservative
candidate at Nancy, and after a row at Tou-
louse a disproportionate number OF bleed
ing Boulangists testified to anti-RevisionIst
zeal in the South.
All parties profess the utmost confidence
of victory, and the wise outsider, under
these and other circumstances, does not care
TO prophesy.

A GLIMPSE OF THE FUTURE.

There is nothing but praise at home and
abroad for the handsome manner in which
the business men of Pittsburg entertained
the Pan-American delegates last week. OF
course the expenditure of time and money
may, SO far as South and Central American
trade is concerned, be no more than bread
cast upon the waters; the returns to Pitts
burg will be contingent upon a good many
things yet to be determined. Congressional
action giving steamship service, and the
successful establishment of trade relations
with the several countries of the southern
half of the continent, cannot be had in a
day.
But there is another and a greater benefit
to the city from the reception of the dele
gates than any that may come directly in the
shape of South or Central American trade
Our people are taught again what can be
done by hearty cooperation. This is rela-
lively new spirit in Pittsburg, yet it is
essentially the spirit which is needed to ad-
vance the interests of the town. The build
ing of our handsome Exposition quarters is
due to it. The grand dimensions and help
full character of the relief for Johnstown, In
which PittsDurg led, was an Outgrowth of it.
The successful reception of the Pan-Ameri-
can delegates is the latest illustration OF il,
When the people Of Pittsburg and Allie
gheny, and of the numerous busy commu-
mites within a ffty-mile radius, see what
power there is in a long pull, a strong pull
and q pull altogether, there is no useful or
feasible project for the good of the section
that will daunt them. A city like Pitts
burg, which, through the aggregate of in
dividual efforts and enterprise of its citi-
Eens stands already seventh in the business
list of American cities-easily distancing
such older and more pretentious competitors
as Baltimore New Orleans and Cincinnati,
and contesting closely the laurels of San
Francisco and st. Louis, may we'll have a
newborn pride of place and achievement.
Who will measure the future growth and
achievements of this town if the men of
great resources in brains, capital and tech
nical knowledge who are to the front in its
iron and steel, glass, coal and coke, petro-
leum, electric, gas, railroad and mercantile
interests, pullItogether? In any practicable
undertaking they would be irresistible.
Building expositions and worthily enter
tanning delegates are relatively small mat
ters. Their Importance consists in that they
show the way to success In greater ones to
follow.

And she stands lost 'twixt hope and fear.

An, maple boughs, that you should shade,
Such happy little maid.

In autumn's richest livery stands,
And it is showering leaves of red
And orange hue, upon a head
That's bending low o'er fast-clasped hands.
For he Is going, going lone,
And she is left to weep and moan.
All, maple boughs, that you should shade,
Such mournful little maid.
The maple tree adown the lane
Stands out against winters sky.
Useless. old tree, are all your charms,
To beckon with your long, bare arms,
And toss your uncrowned head on high
For she will come TO you no more;

RESTITUTION BY IMAGINATION.

The reports that Mayor E. A. Burke, who
recently made the not unprecedented financial
stroke of leaving the country after. making
an oyer-issue of Louisiana State bonds, is
going to replace the loss by means of an i'm
mense fortune, drawn from Honduras mines
is interesting. But even that report has a
rather familiar sound about it. There have
heretofore been fnanciers with a genius for
defalcation who were liberal with announce
ments of what they were going to do in the
line of making good the shortage, after. they
had made immense fortunes. When the
lost money is actually paid over by Mayor
Burke or any other defaulter, then the case
will be unprecedented and phenomenal.
Few men have the fortune after they have
utterly destroyed their own credit, to be
able to make millions at single stroke
outside of their own imaginations. 1t is
much easier to tell of such things than to
find the millions. When Major Burke
makes goods the deficit in the Louisiana
treasury, we shall be ready to hail him as
the bright and shining genius of financial
irregularity. Until that is done stones of
that sort appear principally valuable as
ground bait for gudgeons who may take the
hook Of Honduras mines.
