of the same vessel were arrested by
Special Agent of the Treasury Depart
ment Ames this afternoon as they were
walking off the steamer, and $500 worth

Special Agent of the Treasury Ames
learned some time ago that on this trip
of the steamer Wilmington a lot OF opium
would be brought down from Tacoma,
which it is thought had been smuggled
from Canada to Tacoma. The opium
was in hand bags which were among the
ordinary luggage on board. Ames
watched the bags, knowing the owners
would take them on shore with them.
When the boat landed the men took up
their grips, left the steamer and called
hack. As they were about to drive away
they were arrested and with their booty
taken to the office of Marshal Franks,
where each gave bonds in the sum of
81 900. Townsend said the stuff belong
ed Keyes and that he had only taken one
of the bags to be accommodating.

CHICAGO, October pa sensational
incident happened to day at the funeral
service of G. S. Squires, who was Assist
ant Postmaster at Chicago for nineteen
years, after having worked Ibis way up
from errand boy in the postal service.
Mr.. Squires was lately reduced to chief
clerkship and subsequently, suspended.
His friends claim that he died OF g broken
heart. The funeral took place with high
Masonic honors in Emmanuel Baptist
Church, one of the most prominent con-
gregations in the city. The church was
crowded to overfowing. DIR. Lorimer
pronounced eulogy and his eloquence
had already greatly wrought the audi
ence, when he said: see in the dead
before me an arraignment OF the Civil
Service; l think as he lies there he de-
clares the failure OF the system; our
ideal is still beyond our intellect, nor
will justice and purity prevail in the
civil service until preferment shall be
given upon the scale OF talents and
fitness.
There was moment of silence. and
the big church rang with an unrestrain-
able outburst Of applause. Knights Tenn
plar, in regaIia, and plain business men
alike e4citedly shouted approval, not
withstanding the sacred surroundings
and the presence OF the dead. DR.. Lori
mer besought order, saying, "Not here,
mot here" but adding, Had this loved
and loyable man had his Just deserts, he
you'd You'd have M Se BEEN suu mogrning % for the &c dead
postmaster OF Chicago, and not clerk of
the Registry Department"
So intense was the agitation of the
audience that it was with difficulty that
the church could be cleared.

FULLER,S FIRST OPINION.
The New Chief Justice Hands Down
His Initial Decision.

WAsHINaToN, October 22.-Chief JUS
tice Fuller to-day delived his first opinion
in the Supreme Court of the United
States, in the case of the Western Union
Telegraph Company, plaintiff in error,
VS.. the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
The Commonwealth levied tax on all
the kilograms passing over the company's
line within the State, this tax being i'm
posed regardless Of the fact that much OF
the business was not confined wholly to
the State, but was to points in other
States. The Supreme Court to-day held,
through Chief Justice Fuller, that the
State was not entitled to collect the tax
except for messages between p.ints
within the borders Of the State, and ac-
cordingly reversed the judgment OF the
State Court.

-Four days have elapsed since the first

The Local Conflict.

1t will do no harm to acknowledge that
the Republicans of this city have put
good enough local ticket in the field
good enough to be beaten. Joel B. Err
hardt, nominated for the Mayoralty, and
his co-nominees have records that pre-
sent no seriously Objectionable features
outside of the character Of their partisaE-
ship, whicn is decidedly Objectionable
from the point of view of very large
majority of the metropolitan voting popu-
lation.
1t remains to be seen, now, whether
divided Democracy can give the city
Democratic Mayor and Democrats in the
other city and county offices to be
wrestled for, notwithstanding this call
upon the Republican element to support
the undivided batch of Republican can
didates. Assuming that the local strength
of the contending parties is to be
fully developed and made available under
the inspiring and energizng influences
of the contest for the Presidency,
Democratic local victory can be antici-
pated as a fofegone conclusion by induc.
ton from the experience OF the past
There are twice as many Democratic as
Republican voters in this city, with some
thousands to spare, and even If the con-
ditions were as much an incentive to the
Republicans as to the Democrats, the
latter would prevail on account OF their
actual and absolute numerical supo-
riority.
But the Republicans have not that in.
centive to activity in the local arena that
| is at this time inciting the Democratic
factions to extraordinary exertions.
When Tammany measures strength with
the County Democracy, all the tlghtlng
resources of the two organizations are
sure to be brought into ,equisition. 1t is
on that account and because the
development of strength divided
upon the local issue, but united
upon the State and National ques..
tions, would insure an enhancement oi
the majority for the latter, that we in
vited and advised the local conflict. This
city's Democracy can safely take the
chances of local victory with it's factions
pitted against each other, when ou'
of the excitement the sharp cleo
tioneering and the invigorating quail
ity Of the partisanship for the lesser
but the nearer offices is to be realized
La larger vote for Cleveland, Thur
man and tariff reform, as well as for tht
Democratic State ticket. Proceed witt
your campaigning with alacrity and con
fidence, Democrats Of this city, and yo'
will have good Democratic Mayor ant
good Democrats in the other offices il
disputation, whichever of the Democrati
factions win.
In the course Of these reflections, "
