Gresham Thoroughly Reconstructed.

Man About Town in New York Press1
1t is said President Cleveland has re-
considered his determination to invite
Col. Frederick D. Grant to remain
as minister at Vienna The ''era
of good feeling appears to have
stopped short with the appoint
ment of Judge Gresham. The latter
has taken no pains to cultivate the
seed. In fact Mr.. Cleveland's secretary
of state is acknowledged to be the most
intense partisan in the cabinet. His re-
moval of DR.. St. Clair, the chief of the
consular bureau, is good illustration of
what may be expected from Judge
Gresham DIR. st. Clair has been chief
of the consular bureau for nearly 30 years
He was not disturbed by Secretary Bay

the faculty of picking quarrel with men
dinate capacity. He had not been in the
postoffice department week before he
began a system of petty tyranny toward
the heads of bureaus and others in re-
sponsible positions. He treated them
with deliberate insolence, and apparent
ly regarded himself as the only honest
man in the department. Another pc
culiarity of Gresham is to assume that he
can take charge Of a great department of
the government and know better how to
run it than men who have spent years in
studying its details. He overturned
many of the long established precedents
of the postofice department, and not one
of his changes saved the government a

that Mr. Ingraham is sacrificing himself
for the benefit of the people of Portland.
"a Democratic mayor was never more
urgently needed than now'' he says, and
then he proceeds to show why a Demo-
cratic mayor is needed. First and fore
most Democratic mayor is needed to
administer the liquor agony The
drains and sewers, police and minor
matters of that kind Mr.. Ingrahan thinks
can be trusted to the Democratic alder
men, but when it comes to the liquor
agency then the need of the Democratic
mayor-the need Of Mr.. Ingraham-be-
comes apparent. We quite agree with
Mr.. Ingraham that if the agency is to be
run on the plan that it has been conduct
ed on the past year Democratic mayor is
needed. And there is but one Democrat
ic mayor that will fill the bill and that
is Mr.. Ingraham. We doubt if the
town affords another Democrat who
makes pretentions to responsibility who
would run low dirty official rum shop
throughout his term-and then boast of
it and offer it as the chief reason why
his fellow Democrats should reflect him
to Office. Mr.. Ingraham's performance
in this respect is only comparable to that
of the man who had the itch and
was proud of it. When he was nomi-
mated year ago for Mayor his
principal complaint against the Republic
can administration was that it had al
lowed a too free sale of liquor at the
agency. But under his administration
the sale of liquor has been about double
whatit was before, and he is now appealing
to the people to re-elect him in order to
ensure continuance of the same sort of
management. His letter is sim
ply a manifesto to the slum
element that if he is reelected they can
have all the rum they want. There has
never emanated from any man in any
part of the country more shameless APP
peal for votes than this, with the possible
exception of some of Carter Harrison's
recent appeals to the slum vote of Chi
CapO.

The story of the defalcation of Cash
Ter Shaw of Bath, is the old familiar
one. He wanted to get rich fast and
adopted speculation as a means to that
end. He lost, then borrowed of the
bank, thinking that his luck would turn
and he should be able to return the
banks money. He lost again and con-
tinued to borrow and to lose until he
was irretrievably involved. The strang-
est thing about the affair is that he was
able to conceal his speculations for u
wears without being found out

Among the other reasons Mr.. Ingra-
hams gives to the citizens of Port
land why he should be elected
mayor is that the council may indulge in
extravagant appropriations, and he is
needed to check them by veto. I'm
agine the conceit of this declaration.
The people must elect Ingraham because
the men they have already chosen to
transact the business of the city are in
competent and reckless fellows who
need guardian in the person of the dis
tinguished ex-counsel to Cadiz.

Secretary Carlisle is said to be growing

placed in by the President. His wife
says he is nothing but a clerk, and is
sorry that he ever exchanged a senator
ship for cabinet office. 1t seems
Cleveland will not permit Mr.. Carlisle or
any other cabinet officer to make an ap-
pointment to an Office with salary ex-
ceeding $500 unless he is first consulted
and his approval obtained. Further
more there is growing jealousy of Sec

Respecting at all times the sacred suprem-
acy of the law, they will express their indigna-
ton by thousands of ballots on the 18th, at the
shameful libels upon the great Democratic party
by the Republican press.-MayoT Ingraham's
Letter.
This is Mr.. Ingraham's allusion to the
frauds in Ward One, through which he
obtained a certificate for the mayoralty,
which he held on to until the midnight
meeting, when the city clerk declared
his intention of submitting the check
list to the Republicans. The fraud was
apparent to everybody the morning after
election. Even Mr.. Ingraham himself is
on record as declaring that he suspected
something was wrong, but tried to
believe everything was all right. He
was so anxious to hold on to his certifi-
cate that he undertook to argue himself
into the belief that the figures of Ward
One were true. Yet he had the means
of ascertaining beyond all doubt whether
these figures were correct any time in
the three days he carried around that
certificate, gleefully showing it to his
friends. Why did he not use those
means? Was it because he feared they
would show that his certificate was
fraudulent? Keeping away from the evil
dence appears to have been one
Of his ways of trying to make
himself believe that the figures
were all right. Yet after this perform
ance on his part and the unblushing de-
fence which the Democratic organ has
been making for Harper, he has the
effrontery to talk about the shameful
Gbels on the Democratic party

Only Fifteen Persons Known to Have

SAVANNAH, Ga, Aug 3O.-The storm
injured many buildings in Savannah
and did great damage to the trees.
Fifteen people are known to have been
drowned and more are missing. It is
impossible to estimate the amount of
property destroyed. More than 40
wrecks have been reported so far. Fiji
teen vessels in the harbor and off Tybee
were wrecked or badly damaged. More
than that number of smaller crafts are
missing and are believed to have been
lost. Six unknown vessels are reported
ashore on Tybee beach from the out
side. Nothing has been heard from the
steamship City of Savannah now many
hours overdue.
Tybee island is about wrecked.
Houses were blown and washed away.
The railway track was blown from the
ground and parts of it stood up along
the route like fence. At least half the
houses on the island have been blown
down or badly damaged. The damage
to the buildings in Savannah is being
rapidly repaired.

Details of the Extent of the Storm Is
Not Yet Known.
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-The violent
storm which swept over the city and
surrounding country from midnight
till a. m. bore close resemblance to
the hurricane which worked such
havoc few days ago. Like that
storm, this one had its origin in cy-
clone that arose In the West Indies and
then swept along the Atlantic coast in
q northwesterly direction. While the
other, however, only skirted the coast
along the Gulf stream, scarcely pene-
trating inland, this one, since it swept
over Florida on Sunday, had its storm
center well inland, and reached out in
every direction for more than 1900
miles. AS almost all Geographic con-
nections are broken, the signal bureau
is unable to give complete report of
the storms course, or of its exact di-
rection. but from the local observations
it was surmised that the cyclone has
gone westward and would probably
make its way out to sea through the
st. Lawrence valley.

Some OF the Counties ofSouth Dakota
Are just Beginning.
CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., Aug. 80.-Not-
withstanding the fact that there are
already more than 200 artesian wells in
South Dakota, many of the counties
are just awakening to tho importance
of sinking wells. The state commission
or of irrigation has just selected the To-
cations for five new wells in Douglas
county, and it is likely that fully
dozen will be sunk in that county be-
fore the work is finally discontinued.
In the Black Hills the work of sinking
artesian wells is but commencing. For
years, or ever since the first we'll was
struck east of the Missouri river, it
has been serious question whether or
not the artesian basin extended so far
west as the Black Hills. This question
has now been settled by the striking
of an artesiaL we'll at Belle Fourche,
Butte county, in the extreme northern
portion of the Black Hills, and from
now on scores Of wells will be sunk in
that section.

Rockaway Beach Again Visited by .
Destructive Fire.
RoOKAwAY BEACH, L. l., Aug. 3d.
Rockaway Beach, the famous summer
and pleasure resort, was visited by
another disastrous fire during the
morning. The place had hardly re-
covered from the conflagration of last
fall when nearly every structure on the
beach was destroyed by the flames. The
fire was discovered in the seaside sta
ton of the Rockaway Beach railroad at
2:15 a. m. A hurricane prevailed at
the time and the flames spread with
amazing rapidity. Days hotel caught
fire. The building was filed with sum-
mer guests. none of whom had time to
dress themselves, and they fed from
the structure in their night clothes. No
Roadway could be made by the firemen
and volunteers, and Days hotel was
soon in ruins. Louis Reynolds hotel
in the rear of the railroad station was
then attacked by the flames and also
damaged. At this time the wind
changed, blowing in the direction of the
new Seaside House. It was the largest
hotel on the beach and had As guests
within it's doors. These people were
bundled out with little ceremony and
the fire department devoted all it's ener-
gies to an endeavor to save the hotel,
but without avail. Heavy rain began
falling at 4:15 o'clock and this caused
the flames to be extinguished. The
damage will be very heavy, as all the
burned structures were entirely new.

Roofs and chimneys were torn off. shut
