MErRODS OF SIZZLING REAL ESTATE.

METHODS OF SELLING REAL .ESTATE
Without sarcasm this can truly be called an
@era of reform so far as the real estate bust
ness is concerned. The present system OF con-
Quoting transactions, by which piece of prop
erty is placed for sale in the hands OF several
brokers, has caused much complaint among
many of the dealers. They declare that while
in theory it enables property -owner to dispose
of his realty nor, quickly than if only one per-
son is interested in effecting its sale, in practice
it leads to the cutting of commissions by the
brokers and reduction in the price which the
parcel would command were it not for the COM
petition of the different persons interested in its
disposal So far has this evil extended that
many brokers decline to receive property Tor
sale or rent unless the owner gives them sole
authority to conduct the transaction.
The subject is stimulating agitation among
the members of the Real Estate Exchange, many
of whom have even agreed among themselves
not TO offer at the daily meetings at the tx
change any property which is in the hands OF
more than one representative. There seems TO
be no danger that the advocates of this method
of doing business will attempt to push their
views too far in advance of the opinions OF the
majority of the trnde but it will not he for lack
of earnest effort if the Exchange fails to exert
an important influence in pushing into discus
sion all vital measures affecting the prosperity
Of the great real estate interests of this city.

FOREUARNED. FORE1RuFD.

There il believed to be imminent danger of
an organized attack upon the Chinese in w ash
ington Territory but if it occurs it cannot be
said that fair warning was not given To the
Territorial authorities. The resolutions
adopted by the meeting of workingmeg held ut
Seattle indicate determination and settled pur-
pose Those resolutions announce the intcn-
ton of their trainers TO expel the Chinese from
the Territory, without regard to any laws,
local or National. Employers of Chinese Labor
are called upon pcremptorily to discharge their
hands, mass meetings are arranged to further
the expulsion programme, and all whom it may
concern are finally informed that Z" we will hold
yourselves not responsible for any acts of
evidence which may arise from non -compli-
"ance with these resolutions" After this
formal and frank announcement Governor
Squire clearly can have no apology for being
taken unawares. After-the Rock Springs
massacre it will not do to laugh at dcmonstra-
tions of this kind. No doubt manifestations
of hostility to the Chinese have been common
on the Pacific Coast for years, but the
Wyoming outrage has brought things to
critical condition elsewhere, and such warnings
as that of the Seattle meeting must be needed.
1t rests primarily with Governor Squire to
take precautions against any outbreak. Troops
are available, and if applied for in time their
use can be had. Dates having been fixed by
the meeting for the various steps of the pro-
gramme. it should not be difficult to make
preparation in advance. 1t is not probable that
the local militia could be depended on safely in
n case of this kind, since it is apt to be COM
posed of the very men who are most clamorous
for The expulsion of the Chinese. Fortunately
the meeting has given the Chinese a months
grace, and since all the country knows what is
intended at the expiration of that time failure
to be prepared for any emergency would under
the circumstances be inevitably regarded M
proof of acquiescencc in the lawless action of
the Seattle convention. 1t is hardly conceiy-
able that any administration would subject

1T IS HIS FUNERAL"

Anxious to save Mr.. Clevelands Administra-
tion from the damaging effect of expected
defeat in New York, some of the Democratic
journals are devoting their space to the plea
that "this is not his funeral" The President
has nothing to do with the election in New
York, The Herdid urges, though it admits that,
according to dispatches from Washington. he
seems to be very anxious about that election
and profoundly convinced that tie defeat of
his party there would be construed as proof
that the people disapproved his course.
The President Is right. Those ver-service-
able friends who supported him because he was
an ideal of patriotism and purity, OF wisdom
and executive ability, and who now excuse him
on the ground that he means well but has not
sense enough to know what his most intimate
associates are dong, naturally strive TO make
it appear that condemnation of the Democratic
party and ticket in this State will be only a
vindlcation and approval of the President But
he has sense enough at least to know better.
He knows that Republican victory by $4,000
majority in his own State would mean that the
Republican platform, i'll which his disregard OF
his pledges, his sham reform, and his prostitu-
ton of the public service TO the uses of Bour-
bons in Virginia, of H0adly i'll Ohio, and OF
1899 Thompson and Mclaughlin in New
York, are justly and strongly denounced, has
the approval Of the people.
President Cleveland has before him the usual
and deserved fate of people who try the Good
Lord, Good Devil policy. Had he acted with
consistency and fidelity in the Line marked out
by portion of his inaugural address, he might
indeed have been opposed by most OF his own
party, but all good citizens and the great ma
jority of Republican voters would have felt
that such a President deserved encouragement.
Instead he has done inst enough to anger and
disgust his own party in the effort to keep up
the pretence of reform, while the general con-
duet of his administration has been such as to
convince thousands who voted for him that he
either has no sincere or honest intention to
serve the public interest rather than ms party,
or that he is destitute of the moral courage and
backbone to resist the influences about him.
With perfect prOprety. the Republicans point
to his conduct as evidence that the country has
been defrauded, that he is not the reformer
that he pretended to be, that he does not i'll
fact administer public Office as public trust,
but with infirmity of purpose, sometimes for
private ends and sometimes for the benefit Of
his party and its bosses. This arraignment has
power with the people, for it is just

The First Assistant Postmaster General. who
his friends say, is good for 500 removals from
fourth-class post offices every day, seems to be
going little too fast in New-Jersey. He has
not, in all cases, put in Democrats; but in
many instances he has selected Prohibitionists
to fill the vacated offices. Considering how
much the ProhibitiOnists have helped the
Democratic party of late it will occur to the
impartial observer that Mr.. Stevenson is only
doing the fair thing by his political allies
But New jersey Democrats do not think so.

The clear and comprehensive statement of

this morning will command attention. 1t is

People Justly wonder how 1t is that men OF the
recognized character of George II. Sterling, q ward
politician, a saloon keeper, and a patron OF dog
hghters, with an unenviable record in the police
courts. can secure the recommendation and lndorse-
ment of respectable merchants for places or trust
and responsibility. Such curiosity is not wholly I'M
natural In Collector Hedden's own case. The fact
that people generally good-natured and indiner-
ent. and willing to do almost any one slight ana
inexpensive favor, undoubtedly goes long way
toward explaining the circumstance. But there Is
still another and much more alarming reason that
applies especially to the Endorsements OF business
men of applicants for important places In the
Customs seIy ice Such an officer as the Collector,
Surveyor, Appraiser or Wogher. or even Inspector
can cause merchants world of trouble expense
and loss if he wishes. Or, on the other hand. II
we'll disposed he can materially facilitate taelr
business. 1t may readily be seem therefore. that
merchant whose name is desired to petition in
favor of a person strongly backed by political
influence is placed in very unpleasant posi-
ton. He must either sign the petition or
run a serious risk of loss and annoyance in the
event of the applicants appointment. Many OF the
names on Sterlings petition directly traceable
TO this feeling, and it is by means unlikely that
Mr. Hedden's list would have been much shorter
than it was but for the same sentiment. We shall
scarcely see the petition humbug abolished
however, 50 long as it enables the President TO
make his usual childish plea of being imposed

One reason why vice has so long flourished in
the neighborhood of West Twenty -seventh-st.
in this city is that it has paid big rents Houses
whose occupants were never asked unpleasant
questions always had high-priced tenants,
while owners who would not let their buildings
for vile purposes saw their property greatly
deprecated in value. Decent people living
near by could work no reform the police did
not, whether they could or not. Naturally,
the decent people stunned publicity in their
work. but it has finally become evident that II
this low neishborhood is to be purified the at
tention of the public must be directed toward
the Twenty -seventh-st. real estate owners,
some of whom live in highly respectable
quarters, but whose income is drawn from sin
and shame. Elsewhere III this paper, therefore,
will be found the names of the owners of some
of the houses INVEST Twenty seveutn-st used
for the lowest purposes. Perhaps the police
authorities of the Twenty ninth Precinct will
also be benefited by the TRIBUNE's list.
