Republicans, as 1t has not been at a city
election for many years, counted for a
great deal in the fight. Moore, for May
or, had support that was pecu-
liar. He was backed by the church
people because he was regarded as a
kind of representative of a good-order
element, and the Enquirer published q
certain speech of his at a Sunday pic
mic, which greatly strengthened him In
the eyes of the readers of the Enquirer.
They were made to see in him an oppo-
nent of strict Sunday laws, and were
drawn to his support on this account,
while the people who would have voted
against him because OF the speech, not
being readers of the Enquirer, never
heard OF it. In this summing up
Tibbles must not be forgotten.
He worked quietly, but he
was up and at it early and late, and as
he gathers up his handful of steamboat
cuts tonight and commences his regu-
lar employment again it will be with the
feeling Of a man who has worked to
some purpose.

THE IMPENDING RAILROAD WAR.

There is every indication Of another
conflict between the Eastern trunk
lines. When Vanderbilt agreed to a
treaty of peace last fall, it was evil
IDENTIFY his design to get as high rates as
possible during the winter, and begin
active hostilities again when navigation
opens. The treaty, as then made, was
known TO be concession on the part Of
Vanderbilt, who had often stated that 1t
was his intention to force the Pennsyl-
vania and Baltimore & Onio Railroads
into an agreem5nt making the rates
from the West the same TO all the East
ern seaports.
Evidently Mr.. Vanderbilt has never
given up that intention, and will now
make another effort to bring about the
much-desired result. Though the rates
have been sustained from Chicago to the
East AS tar as is known, yet there can
be no doubt that mach cutting has been
going on for some time pasU from st.
Louis, indianapolis, Toledo, and other
Southwestern points, to the deJriment
or the roads leading East from Chicago
Vanderbilt and Jewett claim that tnis
cutting has been dooe by Scott and Gar
rett, and the latter say that it Is Van
uerbilt, who has been breaking the
agreement in order TO bring about an
other war. In fact, one blames the other,
but all agree that the compact Of last
tall is q nulIity land that each road has 10
act according 10 Its own discretion. Un-
der the circumstances ii is impossible
to maintain the present rates any longer,
and general decline will soon be the
order Of the day. TO avoid an indIs-
criminate cutting OF the rates, meeting
of the General Freight Agents OF the
Eastern roads in this city was held al
the office Of the Lake Shore Il Michigan
Southern Railroad yesterday afternoon,
for the purpose Otagreeing upon uni
form reduction, ana to work with some
degree OF unanimity during tue pending
war.
The meeting lasted until late in the
evening, but nothing was accomplished,
and another conference will be held al
10 o'clock this morning. 1t is not be-
heYed that the grain rates Will be fixed
at lower rate than 70 cents from Chi
cago to New York. Tue regret is gen
orally expressed that the railroads coulG
not settle their difficulties without an
other war. Last years contest demon
strated that such wars are not only dis
astrOus to the railroad interests, bul
also acls depressingIy upon the bust
ness interests. A lalr steady rate is
much better for the shippers Lhan low
unsettled rate at which they can base
no contracts.-[ ChicagO Tribune.

The Reason Why.

Not being able 10 compete in merit
with the Automatic" Sewing Machine,
many companies are Offering machines
at greatly reduced prices or making
great concessions In the way of giving
very large prices for old machines taken
in exchange, in order to sell their goods.
The Automatic" is not sold on this
basis, but is sold purely on its merits;
and although people buying this ma
chine can not get as much for their old
machines, nor buy at reduced rates, yet
the advantages found in the Automat-
ic" over any other machine in the world,
more than pays for the difference in less
than six months. Thousands who are
using il daily will testify TO the above.

SCANDALoUs WORK BY RoUGHs.-The
other evening the greatest excitement
was created in Paterson, N. j., by the
fact, that because OF the marriage of u
young Holland couple at the brides resi-
dence, the rowdy element OF the city
had turned out to give them greeting.
The house was white house once, but
through the efforts Of the offenders it
was SO bespattered with cakes of mud
that it could scarcely be recognized.
The stoop was filled with old tins and
rubbish of all sorts, the doors were
banged and kicked at and the shutters
were lifted from their hinges aud carried
away. 1t was most shameful proceed
ing throughout.

PHILADELPHIA Is having an interest
ing war between the grocers and huck-
sters. Public meetings have been held
for and against ordinances prohibiting
huckstering in the streets, and for
and against an ordinance imposing
a tax upon vendors of produce.
The fight is pretty even one.
The grocers have the advantage of
being residents of the city, and the
Influence OF the corner grocery in any
matter is not to be despised, but the
hucksters, on the other hand, appeal to
the selt-interest of the consumers, and
one side is able to marshal about as
large force as the other.
