NEW YORK, October 20, 1888.
Another registration day in this
city has passed, and the same marked
increase is shown, compared with four
years ago, as on the first day. The
total az compared with the highest
previous registration for a similar
period, shows a net gain of $4,000.
The larger the increase, the greater
the majority for Cleveland and the
State ticket.
1t looks very much from the out
side as though the Republicans had
abandoned any lingering hope Of
carrying this State, and were locking
to other sections for votes enough to
save their ticket. They have one
strong card growing out Of the unfor-
tunate divisions in the Democratic
party of this city. As l have said
before, there is no cause for real APP
prehension on this account, but Of
course the managers on the other side
are making the most of it by spread
ing wild tales over the country OF the
alleged decentralization of the party in
this city. 1t is quite as much to the
interest of one of the local factions as
to the other that the State and Nation
al tickets should receive their cordial
support. No one who has studied the
situation doubts this.
Ex-Msyor Seth Low of Brooklyn,
made powerful speech in Cooper
Union last night in favor of Cleveland
and Tariff Reform. The Republicans
are very much chsgrined over what
they are pleased to term the "ingrati-
tude" Of a man whom they twice put
in the mayorslty chair in the City o
Churches. Mr.. Low is personally one
Of the most popular men in the two
cities as shown by his election in q city
that usually gives a Democratic ma
jority in excess of 10000. He will
make other speeches during the Cam
paign, and use all his logic and his
influence for the Democratic ticket.
Chairman Bsrnun, like Chairman
Quay Of the opposition, is not at all
gsrrulous, and when be makes an an
nouucement everybody listens. When
seen by your correspondent the other
day, he said positively that in ell his
experience-and he has generalled
several National Campaigns - the
partys prospects had not been so
bright at corresponding period be-
fore election. He regards success as
absolutely assured.
There has been a deal Of uufavora-
bic comment on the part OF the Dem
ocrats at the peculiar attitude of
Tammsny Hall with respect to Con-
greasmen from this City. At this
time the Metropolis has only one Con.
gresham who was elected as Rspub-
lican, Hon. Ashbsl P. Fitch, and he
has since publicly left the party on
account Of it's attitude on the question
Of the Tariff. He will go back to Con-
gress; but as Democrat. In some of
the Citys districts the Republicans
would have a very good show of win
ming with . divided local Democracy,
and this is what Tammany Hall
threatens. Negotiations are now GO
ing on with view to a settlement of
the differences between the factions,
50 that the party may not suffer. Ali
sorts of rumors are in the air. One
Of the most interesting is that the

understand that some Of our re.
publican friends are saying to the
colored people of this section that if
this tariff bill is passed their wages
will be reduced to Is cents per day.
Now, may have done things that ]

thing SO bald as that.
The tariff bears alike upon every
State in the Union. 1t is the same in
New York, Baltimore, San Francisco,
New Orleans-ths same tariff tax is
collected at every port Of entry in the
country.
Republicans claim that the tariff
regulates wages. If it did regulate
them they would be the same all over
the whole country, for the same tarili
prevails over it all. But in Massechu-
sets, wages are $500; in North
Carolina so cents; in California 50.
Why don't the tariff regulate these
inequalities?
What the tariff does do is to pro-
tect the rich manufacturers at the
North, enabling them to increase their
profits, but you never heard OF them
dividing with the laboring men. Oh
NO! When Mr.. Carnage made his
boast that he was Masking a million
and a half of dollars every year from
his works, the man employed therein
were striking for an advance of 10
per cent il their wages. The tariff
snrichss the manufacturers and they
leave the poor laboring man to strug.
gle on aud earn . living IS beat be
may.
What does regulate labor? Why,
the law of supply and demand. II
there is mors work than there are
lsborers to do it wages go up. II
not, wagse will go down. The char
aeter of labor, its skill and capacity,
have an influence upon wages. A
horse that can run a mile in . min
ute less than another will bring more
money than the slower one. So the
man who, in q given time, can do the
moCt skilled work will ever be worth
and command the highest wages.
The present AZ per cent. tariff is a
prohibitive tariff. 1t bears go hard
upon imports as to stop them. The
Mills bill lessons the burdens to some
extent and is more in the line Of pro.
tsction-less prohibitive.

BURGLARS AND THIEVES.
Gang at Work in the City-Some
are Captured.

A Gang at Work in the City-Some
are Captured.
Burglars are still at their work and
seem to be ably abetted by the COM
mon sneak thief. Saturday afternoon
they burglarized the house of Mrs.
Nathan Hart, 800 Augusta street,
which is occupied during the absence
of his family on visit
and his family The family of
Mr.. Schulz had gone to the matinee
at the Grand opera house and during
their absence it was that the house
was entered. Every trunk and closet
i'm the house was opened and thor
oughly ransacked, but only Mr..
Schuff7s pistol and Mrs. Schuff7s new
cloak were taken, although the silver
plate and other valuables were lying
within easy access. 1t is remarkable
that the thief or thieves were not dis
covered by the neighbors, that part
of the city being rather thickly set
tied, and the robbery is more bold
from the circumstance of being COM
mitted i'm broad daylight.
Probably it was part of the same
gang who were loafing all day Satur-
day about the corner of the Maverick
bank on Houston street ana Alamo
plaza. There were five of these and
when Contractor Dick Anderson
drew the money to pay off the work
men on the federal courthouse they
watched him with more than a friend
ly interest. In the afternoon two of
this gang strolled down toward
Alamo street and took a fifteen
dollar reversible overcoat from
the front of G. b. Franks store and
one tried to conceal it under his coat.
They were seen, however, by Charley
Walker and VIM. Sickenius, two en-
ployes of the ice factory, who were
walking behind them. These young
men collared them and turned them
over to Policeman Harris, who hap
pened to be near Schools. They were,
taken to the bat cave.
A bout the same time as the above,
occurred the other three were at work
on Houston street. One of them came
to Policeman Abbey and told him of o
man lying near the Baptist church,
who acted like he was crazy or drunk.
A bbey went there and found his man,
who quickly sobered up while being
marched to the station. The remain
ing two thieves, seeing the coast clear,
then went into a small dry goods
house on the south side of Houston
street. near Mavericks bank, stole
lot of shirts and other goods and
made their escape, though the owner
gave chase.

The Alabama Horror.

NEW YORK, December 10.-A Birm-
ingham, Ala, special says the situa-
ton here is very grave, and while all
good citizens here hope for the best,
the out. look is not the best. The
Howes murder mystery is almost for
gotten since the greater horror of Sat
urday night. Col. Jones, command
ing the troops is reported to have said
he feared violence to Sheriff Smith,
more than he did any further attempt
to lynch Howes. Sheriff Smith and
David Pruett, one of his chief depu
ties, have been ARRESTED on the charge
of murder. Warrants for number of
other officers have been sworn out,
but not yet served. The statements
of the officers and those of the men
who were in the crowd are very con-
fiicting. The people who were in the
crowd, say the officers fired first, and
that no one was making advance,
when the first shot was fired. They
claim also, that officers continued to
shoot while the crowd was running
away, and several men were hit in the
back. On the other hand the sheriff
SAYS a number of shots were fired
from the crowd OTTER the officers
ceased firing. Chief of Police Picard,
was also arrested last night,
on charge of murder. Coroner
Kobbitt made the arrest and took
charge of the sheriffs office. Yester-
day afternoon the news spread that
| 500 miners from the Pratt mines
about five miles from Birmingham,
would after dark, march to the city
armed with guns and dynamite
cartridges, and assault the soldiers,
and blow to atoms the Jail. Col. Jones
said the soldiers would be duly noti-
fed by scouts of the approach of the
mob. He feared some disturbance, but
believed he could make successful re-
sstance. An address issued yesterday
morning of citizens to the citizens of
Birmingham, says among other
things: ''There are some things as
sacred as life itself, and on them the
maintainence of the law made to pro-
tect life and honor and virtue without
the orderly observance of the laws of
the land, no man, no woman, no child
is safe. Public indignation at afro
cious crimes is natural, but at the
same time the laws alone should visit
the righteous penalty. We appeal to
every good citizen to commend law,
order and peace, to repress all attempts
to excite popular indignation and to
refrain from assembling. The good
name of our city your own securityand
that of your wives and children cOun-
sci strongly the strict observance of
the law"

A Wise Selection.

Mr.. Tom Hughes, who was for some
years connected with the city detec-
tive department and who made a
most creditable record as courteous,
honest and efficient officer has been
appointed deputy sheriff of Bexar
county by Sheriff Mccall and will be
sworn in today. This honor was Of
fered him soon after Sheriff McCalPs
election, but owing to his engagement
with the fair association he could not
qualify before. 1t is stated that when
Sheriff Mccall resigned his position
as assistant marshal OF the city the
place was offered to Tom and then,
for justifiable reasons, he declined to
accept the position. The fact is the
city did not treat Tom right, after his
many years of good service, because
he was not subservient tool, and
Tom had enough of that kind of treat
ment. If Tom would only talk what
a splendid city campaign document
he could give the anti-Callaghan par
ty! However this may be, Sheriff Nc
Call is to be congratulated upon the
selection OF such an efficient deputy
as Tom Hughes.

A Legal Sensation.

This is what was caused in the
county commissioners court this
morning when suit was filed by the
district attorney and Messrs. Huston
and Altgelt against Commissioners
Ben Kiolbassa, of precinct No. 3, to
disqualify him from holding his office.
1t was the topic of conversation all
day. The grounds for the suit are
that the county judge was ignorant
of the law of 1887 requiring county
commissioners to give $4,000 bond. The
old law did not require it. Kiolbassa
at the meeting shortly after the cleo
ton, offered to give bond in any sum,
but the matter was looked up and the
judge said it was not necessary and
he simply took the constitutional oath
and the special oath, not to be inter
ested in any county contracts. The
other commissioners, although not
having given bond are not disqualifi-
ed as they succeeded themselves and
hold their office until their successors
qualify. The effect this morning was
to quickly adjourn the court for the
day, while the matter is being inves-
tigated.

Another Chicago Bomb.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, December 10.-Short-
ly after o'clock this morning an at
tempt was made to destroy Schu-
feldt company's distillery, in the
northern portion of Chicago, by dyna-
mite. Enough facts are not known to
justify the conclusion as to whether it
is the work of anarchists, or some one
who has a personal grievance against
Schufeldt. At the hour men,
toned the neighborhood was
shaken by a tremendous explo-
sion, breaking many panes of
glass in surrounding houses, and
causing people to rush into the street
in great alarm. Investigation showed
that the bomb had been thrown prob
ably from the street into the detached
warehouse, used for storing high
wines. This building was shattered,
the hoops burst off of many casks,
and the heads of some driven in.
Very soon afterward a package
wrapped in paper, was discovered ly-
ing in the street, it contained several
sticks of dynamite, and some fusile
caps. A fuse connected with the
package showed evidence of having
been lighted and gone out premature

The Big Bear GroWls.

ST. PETERSBURG, December lO.-At
a meeting at the foreign office, high
military authority urged that informa-
ton be sent to the Persian govern
ment, warning it that Russia would
take steps for the occupation of Persia,
unless it cancelled the treaty opening
up the Karum country to the English.
M. Degiers, foreign minister, opposed
such a course, and advised the gov
eminent to proceed with moderation.
