PrTTsBURGH, Pa, Oct. i'm comment
ing on the resignation Of Thomas Barry,
Of the General Executive Board knights
Of Labor, Homer l.. IAicGaw, ex-AIaster
Workmon OF District Assembly No. 3,
said tonight that he did not believe the
order will die within year, but says
the membership has fallen off consider
ably within the past two years. The
spy system adopted at Richmond in the
interest OF the Administration, he says,
is correctly criticised and he knew OF
"men who have been made intoxicated
by these spies fbr purpose"
Ex-NIaster Workman Joseph L. Evans,
OF D. a. 8, was more emphatic in his
language concerning Barry's resigna-
tion. He said Tom Barry's sickness
has impaired his mind and he does
not know what he is talking about. The
order will not go to pieces in n year and
not in thousand years. He is
right in one instance, however,
Tie clerks in the general office
who were favorable to Barry, were
spotted aud discharged. Men who die
not belong TO the order were taken III
and aiterward made Knights Of Labor.

cut is surely Republican on the present
issue, and he gives plenty OF reasons fol
thinking so. The views one gets here
about New York are influenced by the
politics OF the talker, and nobody il
giving away any OF the inside workings
OF the party headquarters even il such
things are known. Secretary Whitney,
who is one OF the few men who do not
try to cheat the President with unjusti'
fable claims, gave him something Of q
scare about New York some ten-days ago
which still holds good. Whitney is one
OF the clear sighted who is now under
stood TO fear that New York is leaning
the wrong way for Cleveland just now.
WHERE TIE DRIFT HAS BEEN.
These are some OF the details OF the
situation which come in one shape or
another here that give fair view of the
field. Democrats who are not blinded
by partisan interest have recognized
that the drift was against Cleveland from
the start, and 1t is now confessed that
none OF the several efforts TO check it
have had all the desired effect. The de-
clared hope OF the Democrats was TO "cd-
ucate" the people to their way OF think
ing about the tariff and they still hope
they have done something in this line.
II they have it has not been made aP-
parent to Republican members who
have recently been through their dis
tricts. Instead of finding converts to
the Democrats, they claim to know OF
considerable number OF Democrats who
have changed on the tariff issue. 1t is
not an unusual thing to find Reoubli;;
can from q country district who can
name from three to dozen Of them in
almost every township in his county.
Party work in the heat of the closing
days Of the canvas may change some OF
them back again, but it is claimed that
such changes as may thus occur will be
but little felt in the midst Of the large
numbers that will stay Topped.
THURMAN A DISAPPOINTMENT.
Another feature OF the Democratic
campaign has proved not only a disap-
pointment, but n positive drawback.
That is Judge Thurman and his candl-
dacy. The incident OF his physical fail
ure in New York is small matter COM
pared with the general feeling. Nothing |
expected in his nomination has been
realized. He was wanted togo upon the
stump and stir up the old-timc Demo-
Gratis, who have hever been very cnthusi-
astic over Cleveland. His speeches have
been the most astounding failures, and
it is felt to be extremely hazardous to
exhibit him again before the country.
There is a good deal OF criticism OF the
President, who is personally responsible
for the nomination OF Thurman, and it is
seen by everybody now that the choice
OF Governor Gray, OF Indiana, would
have given some strength to the ticket
where it is greatly needed.
Two weeks ago there was considerable
inside discussion about getting Thur.
man Off the ticket and Clay on. 1t had
many advocates, and the talk was par.
ticularly prevalent in Indiana, where
the necessity for some action was best
understood. But it was agreed that the
change could not be made without do
ing quite as much harm as good. ! do
not know whether Judge Thurman's
opinion on the subject could be taken or

TROUBLE AT CHICAGO.
Tho Police have n scrap with Striking Street
Car Men.

SuE HAElls
CmCAGo, Oct. 5.-Mayor Roche to-day
issued n proclamation requesting the
people OF the city not o'congregate in
the streets. The Mayor says that the
collection OF crowds should be avoided
il the authorities are to maintain good
order. The announcement that an at
tempt would be made 10 run the North
Side cars tomorrow morning with new
men is the occasion for the proclama-
ton.
The number Of police massGd will be
several hundred, the Harrison station
alone sending 100 men. The first col.
iision between the police and the strik-
ers occurred about midnight at the Lar
rabec street barns. Capt. Schaick and n
company OF his men brought six
teen imported laborers to tho
barn in the guise OF Mooney
and Roland special policemen and were
trying to get them under cover without
attracting attention when few of the
strikers began to call out "scabs." This
infuriated the Captain, and, springing
from his buggy, he called on the officers
to clear the street. Tho men were slow
about oheying the order. In
fact they behaved as il they
would rather that somebody else would
clear the street. The captain, who had
advanced to within few feet Of the posi-.
ton occupied by the strikers, observed
the hesitation, and turning upon the
line Of bIue.coats, he shouted, "Cowards,
disperse this mob" The officers, evi.

strikers and scattered it in every direc-

New YoRE, Oct. THE Democrats Of
New York City are fighting again. That
is good news for the Republicans. The
New York members of the Cabinet,
Secretaries Whitney and Fairchild, Col
onel Brice, ex-senator Barnum and Sem
ator German all came TO New York and
consulted for two days and two
nights. They told Tammany to
be good and take Hewitt if they
couldn't get anything better. Tam
many wouldn't. They wanted the coun.
ty Democracy to accept somebody else
than Hewitt and the county Democracy
wouldn't. The National Committee
labored and prayed and swore, with the
result that Tammany nominated Sheriff
Grant and the county Democracy in
dorsed the Citizens nomination OF
Hewitt. They will put up separate
tickets throughout, and go to ciawing
out each others political eyes, in regu.
lar Democratic fashion.

hold Testimony.


The congressional committee has Leen
favored with the testimony of Mr.. Flagler
and Mr.. Archbold, of the Standard Oil
Trust. According to these witnesses
nothing.could be more innocent than their
corporation. They admitted that it was
big, having ninety millions of stock, with
. market value of sle0 for a hundred dol.
lar share, or total of sl4i 200 900. The
dividends Of 1887 were ten per cent. The
average dividend had teen seven per cent
and the earnings thirteen. The trust
was not interested In gas.making, or in
horse car lines, or in the cottonseed trust.
II has an interest In one or two natural
Gas companies. 1t controls seventy
i've per cent. of the oil business.
It has enjoyed rebates, but other people
could have had the same, and no divi.
dend was made with railroad officers. Its
success was due to business ability and the
assaults upon it were by sore heads, and
tho men who charged 1t with corrupt
dealings with railroad officers should be
prosecuted for libel.
And 30 they should; and If their wit.
nesses swore to the truth they should
hasten to prosecute their maligners. AS
they are of this opinion, why do they not
do 1t (? 1t is safe to say that very few
people will believe that the Standard Oil
Trust has reached its present proportions
by fair dealing and through business
acumen only. 1t is very bold thing for
its members to make such statement.
That it has enjoyed railroad freight rates
which its rivals could not reach is a fact
which it takes a deal of hardihood to
deny. No testimony from men willing TO
make such statement will command
credence.

THE statistical report Of our foreign com.

and bullion for the month was valued at

was S66, $685. showing On excess of i'm
ports OF over eleven millions for one month.
In March oflSs7, the excess Of exports was
S,125s4s, These balances are not very
large, as such things are measured, and
oauses OF apparently trifllng Importance
might have changed them from one sid a
to the other. The long talked of European
war when II comes will mako these figures
dance In 1871 the excess OF imports was
S23l, ,542; In 1872 1t was SIG 2s36 GAG. In "a the
exports exceeded imports over fifty-seven
millions. In 1879, excess OF exports was
1850, 363, l07, and the balance has contin ued
on that side down to 1887, with variations OF
q hundred million or 10 from year TO year.

It is said that the resolution concern.

permanently organized, and that 1t
therefore will not he effective.
The clerks OF the convention say
It was, but the newspaper CORES:

taken was by the temporary organiza'
tion. 1t does not make much differ
ence, probably; save that 1t gives op'
portunity in the future for Chairman
Cooper to hang on IL he chooses, and
to refer the matter TO the next
state convention which, 1t will be
noted, will be anyway the deciding au-
thority as to the chairman for next year.
It can put Andrews out, however he was
chosen by this convention. The fight
that Quay has started, TO boss the party
to the exclusion of Cameron, Is likely TO
bring that gentleman into the field to
protect his prerogative. He has had no.
tice served on him to stand aside which
he is not likely to do unless he finds that
he must; and the consequenceis is likely to
be a lively party fight for the control Of
the next convention.

parts OF the country, the most important
gatherings being held In PittsbuIg and

was given at which Senator Sherman made

record, but expressed the doubt whether
his civil career added anything to

doubiedly 1t did not. Grant would have
been nearer IN fame to Washington had he

: 20 ReelI.e Elevated scheme.

N number OF wide awake Philadel-
'rAians are strongly opposing the Reading
railroad plan for an elevated railroad into
tho heart Of the city, insisting that the
ruad should be built underground In or
der that property along Its line should not
b deprecated and the citizens suffer in
many ways as they have suffered In
New York. Philadelphia has some repu.
tation for wise conservatism and her slow
movement towards rapid transit has been
watched in the firm conviction that when
Ghe finally does reach 1t, the system that
she will choose will be the very best that
human ingenuity and solid cash can pro-
vide. The sad experience of New York
IN elevated roads ought to be enough to
forever bar the way to their construction
n Philadelphia I; but Mr.. Corbin has
settled the matter to his own sublime
subtraction In letter to a councilman.
It ID curious how easily his weak points
Are found by men who became familiar
with his peculiar style Of reasoning 10 the
great labor controversy. Mr.. Corbin had
referred to the blessings and benefits that
had fallen upon New York from the
tracks Of the elevated roads, but Mr.,
Joshua l.. Baily, chairman of the citi-
zens' committee, notes that property along
those tracks has in many cases been
greatly deprecated In value, and where
It has advanced, has still been below the
value Of property not passed by the
tracks. He also notes that while the
New York roads are light,an built with
. special view to quiet and smooth run
ming with little smoke, the Corbln road
viii be for eighty-ton engines and full
grown trains. Tracks at grade have long
been tolerated by Philadelphians, out of
consideration for the poor and struggling
rival OF the Pennsylvania road, but now
that the Reading Is on its feet, Mr.. Baily
and his friends are disposed to correct
the impression that the streets may be
used as the village roads of small way
station.
But the climax Of Mr.. Baily's reply Il
In the announcement that this same maj
WAV DPO0Ac ~ uioPoAaSiuSiy VI unucl
ground roads is president of road of tn,
kind In New York which he proposes :,
extend through that city and under til,
East River. Mr.. Corbin said: Nv,
cannot afford to take any position amopl
the people of the city of PAiisdsiphi,
that looks to the injury y6f their proper
~ simply that It may benefit the railroa,
compspy.n Mr.. Baily compares thi
w.ththe " actual course of Mr.. Corbin'
o8mpany, who at the very moment b
Twas writing this letter, probably, sen
250 men by night into o neighboring cit,
70 tear up the streets, in violation of al
public rights. /"
Il is plain that Mr.. Corbin is wei
understood and the proper value give,
70 his assertions since his experience witt
the congressional committee and hi
striking men.
