LIKENED TO A WARD BOSS.
Editor Myriok Attacks Mr.. Cleveland Over
the Mugwump Affair.

ATLANTA, Ga, May 19.-Mr. Bascom
Myrick, editor of the Americas Times
Recorder, which has all along been
Speaker Crisp's organ, was urged by the
latter upon President Cleveland for an
pointment to the consulate at Berlin.
When it was drawn to Mr.. Cleveland's
attention that Myrick had criticised him
viciously during the campain his name
was wiped off the slate by Mr. Thurber's
sponge. MYrick, having been twitted
by the statement that "if" he had only
known in time he would not have writ
ten the offensive paragraphs, comes
out as follows in to days issue of his
paper:
IFS don't trouble the editor of tho
Times Recorder, because his utterances
were based on the solid rock OF truth
ana convictions of party, not personal
policy. If Editor Myrick had it all to
do over again he would not modify or
change word in the so called offensive
paragraphs or his personal advantage.
The only IF that would have influenced
his course since the election would have
been this:
IF he had known that the President
could not rise above the prejudice in.
stllled into his mind against those who
oelleved him not the most available man
to nominate and who opposed him in The
interest of Democracy, Editor Myrick
would, In so far as he was concerned,
have saved the country the mortifyipr
spectacle OF President of the United
States adopting the methods of ward
boss In settling scores with his personal
opponents after the victory
III Editor Myrick had known this
some other man would have been the
object lesson for Democrats to contem-
plate, that's all"

NEW YORK, May 19.-R. G. Dun g.
Co.'S weekly review of trade will say:
Stocks rally from the extreme depres-
sion but business shows no substantial
improvement. The distribution of pro
ducts to final consumers is rather less
encouraging, though the weather has
been generally more favorable, and at
some points helps the retail trade.
Wholesale business and produotion
shows each week more hesitation with
regard to crops next fall, possibilities
OF tariff changes and many uncertain.

minor Importance shows the effects OF
the increasing stringency in the money
markets. and while money is compar-
at1yely easy here, the pressure at other
points has increased. Almost eyerv-
where collections are slow,and doubt
about the future affects now undertake

trade, based upon past orders, is re-
markedly large.
The Treasury is in O stronger position
than for some weeks past, but exports
OF gold have notably increased. At

Marshals Cross. Eastwood and Wash
ington went to Princess Anne county
last night in separate vehicles with war
rants for the arrest of a number of per-
sons near the court OF that county on
the charge of violating the United States
pension laws.
They made five arrests this morning,
Dr. r. G. Perkins, lady, and three
colored men. The former are highly re-
spectable residents of Princess Ammo.
The lady being sick and unable to leave
her home, was bonded for her appear
ance, and the others were brought to
Norfolk this afternoon. The cases will
be heard by United States Com missioner
