The ng-talked-of drop in New-York City
real estate has not yet made its appearance
and as the renting season opens, tendency
toward higher prices is noticeable. Rents in
this city are already at figure which, while
it may be fully justified, is certainly strong.
Most of the larger dealers are content to stand
by last years prices, which were not notable
for moderation. This is wise. 1t is not
healthy to force rents to a point which slim
ulates immigration into Jersey, Long Island
and Westchester.
What is sure to prove most important move
ment in the political life of New-York City
was rendered permanent yesterday by the es-
Enlistment Of the Downtown Club. The
members of this new association are the bust
ness men who gave such an effective support
to Harrison and Morton in the late campaign,
stimulating the interest Of private citizens in
the National contest by many and potent APP
peals to their intelligence and patriotism. The
club was opened with proceedings both elo-
quent and inspiriting, and at one step put itself
into the front rank of social and political or
CARNATIONS.

those presented by the census in Brooklyn.
When Washington was inaugurated one hun
dred years ago, Brooklyn was only cluster Of
houses around the Wallabout Inlet. In 1900
1t had but 2,378 inhabitants. Its growth in
fifty yoars thereafter was comparatively slow
and did not enable it TO boast of more than
$1,000. Since then, however, it has bounded
into the front rank Of merican municipalities,
multiplying its population every decade until
now it has over 100000 people within it's
boundaries, and is sure OF a round million be-
fore the century closes. This record is truly
wonderful.
If the Urionist party of Lord Harrington
and Mr.. Chamberlain has any sentiment about
1t, it must regard The London Times, and
it's paralytic witness with an amusing combina-
tion Of malevolent emotions. This foul reptile,
Pigott who has attempted to sell himself and
his criminal capacities to every prominent man
in Great Britain turning from one to another
in utter falsity to all, was for years it has been
proved, an object of charity from the great
leader Of the Unionists, Mr.. Forster. Mr..
Forster gave the BLACKBOARD money, bread.
possibly old clothes. He offered to send him
to America and establish him here in business
while all the while Pigott was looking around
for some one willing to pay for the lies and
forgeries which he meant To coin against his
benefactor. And this is the creature upon
whom The 1imes'' has builded its great
sssuetsre of offence against the Parnellites and

\ dispatch from Guthrie, Oklahoma,

tween cowboys and veterans in the new
territory, said TO have occurred one DAY last

The old soldiers are located on the Canadian
river, near the southern border. Their
lands are very desirable, and a number Of
cowboys tried TO take them from the set
tiers. The cowboys were noun ed On fleet
ponies and rode down on the camp, evident
ly with the intention OF surprising them.
The soldiers, however, were prepared for
them. The cowboys TO e down the line
yelling and firing revolvers. The old sol
diers began 10 let their guns, when the
cowboys turned and dashed across the
prairie. a volley from the soldiers brought
down man and horse. The rider of the
latter jumped on the back of companions
pony and in a minute all the cowboys were
out Of range. Alter his the fight was after
the Indian fashion, the horses were used as
barricades and over their backs the cow
boys shot and killed X members of the
colony. When it was seen that the soldiers
were being wors ed they drew up in line
and the order for an advance was given.

horses and dashed madly a ross the coun-
try, yelling in retreat that they would soon
return.
