A FINANCIAL FURRY.

The little furry in Wall street yester-
day had something of paincky tinge
to it, yet there is hardly occasion for
much alarm. The sharp demand for
money and the very considerable decline
in stocks. all resulted from little tussle
the bulls and the bears were having
with each other, and were not due, so
far as can be seen, to any real depreS-
sion or tightness in money matters. By
coupling events III Wall street yester-
day with the strike on the VANDERBILT
line, it is comparatively easy matter
to trace JAY GoULD'S fine Italian hand
in the whole business. The old wrecker
is Oh deck, and is evidently yearning
for somebody's poeketbook. 1t would
be a big feather in his cap if he could
make hole in the VANDERBILT for
tune, and he doubtless imagines that he
now sees his opportunity to do it.
1t is unfortunate that there is no re-
serve fund in the treasury with which
to check Mr.. GoULD's little game. The
extravaganza of Republican admins
tration has squandered the surplus
which came down as legacy from the
CLEVELAND administration, and which
was used with good effect few years
ago by Mr.. CLEVELAND, when there
was just such disturbance in Wall
street as now exists.

MOSBY EXPLAINS.

Col. JOHN S. MosBY, who has been
conspicuous as a rebel guerilla and as a
Republican officeholder, has been in
retirement for the past ten years, and
his name has almost passed from the
memory of American people until he
turned up the other day in the role of a
confidential friend to the HARRISON
family. The delicate task assigned to
Col. MosBY was to eXtricate RUSSELL,
the son and heir apparent, from the ugly
lottery scrape into which he had gotten.
1t was to clear the immaculate HAIR
RIsoN name of the stain of being asso-
ciated with lottery brokerage that
MosBY's services were called into re-
QUESTION. He did his work in real gue-
rilla, bushwhacking style. He stopped
over at Ell Paso the other day to explain
the matter to press reporter. Ac-
cording to MosBY's statement RUSSELL
HARRISON did not solicit advertising
patronage from the Juarez Lottery COM
pany. That would be beneath the dig
nifty of a HARRISON. He sent an
agent to do the soliciting, and to make
sure that there should be no hitch in
the proceedings on account of his own
absence, RUSSELL dropped into cigar

Pittsburg, have large trade
with the Southern states, which
will be destroyed if the force bill
passes. The business men of those two
cities are importuning QUAY and CAM
ERoN TO kill the Ubiquitous measure
Another reason, and perhaps the
stronger of the two, is that the Repub-
lican leaders, with QUAR- and CAMERON
at the head, made contract with the
Eastern manufacturers in 1883 that if
they would put up the Doodle for the
presidential campaign of that year the
Republicans would increase the tariff
tax on manufactured articles. The
manufacturers provided the campaign
fund, as they agreed to do, and now the
MCKINLEY bill is the Republican part
OF the agreement. QUAY and CAM
ERON feel that they are in honor bound
to force the passage of the MCKINLEY
bill, and all their efforts are exerted in
that direction. The extreme partisans
who wish to rekindle the fires of Sec
tIOnalism in order to divert attention
from the lniquities of the MCKINLEY
bill insist upon coupling the force bill
with it and pressing them through to-
gether. The Eastern manufacturers
are restless lest the two measures may
fall together, and insist upon separat-
ing them. So, altogether, it is the most
perplexing quandary the Republican
leaders have ever been caught in, and
it will be q genuine blessing if they
never get out of it.

THE REAL CITIES

For city that has so much history,
cuts so many coupons and has JOHN l..
SULLIVAN, Boston hasn't fair shake
in the census. 1t is given 200, while
st. Louis isput at 100000. Yet radius
of twelve miles from the center of st.
Louis will show but 100000, while the
same swing about Boston common Will
take in $4,000 persons. That is about
the real Boston. Cincinnati has but
$4,000 and Pittsburg 100000, while the
suburbs that should be counted as a
part OF them give each 100000. This is
pretty much the case with st. Paul also.
The suburban population within a
dozen miles or so would bring 1t up at
least to the st. Louis figures. New
York is counted out 1,519,O00, while it
is the center of population of over
2,50O,000. This shows that the nominal
figures of the census are not a real

MIR. DUNNELL's TAsK,

1t is given out from Washington that
Congressman DUNNELL, of this state, is
formulating the census material into
the necessary bill for making the reap
portiOnment at this session of congress,
having the assurance that the figures
will be had in time for this. 1t is stated,
however, that this will not be in time
for use at the November election. If
this is the fact, the query will at once
arise why there should be such effort
to rush the measure through at this Ses
sion when the December session would
afford equal opportunity to improve all
the partisan advantage to be obtained
from it. No explanation is afforded,
and it may be doubted that it is the pur-
pose, if the bill Is passed, to defer its
operation for two years, unless no
way appears to make it help out
the Republicans in their desperation.
With the total of 64,500,000. as COM
puted, and ratio of $4,000. which is
regarded as near the ultimate figure,
only about one-third of the states
would have change in their repre-
sensations. There would be four or
five states, like Minnesota, that
would have additional members to elect
on the general ticket. This state would
have three, Nebraska three. and others
two and one. But New York would
lose two members, Ohio probably one.
and Indiana, New Jersey, perhaps
Michigan and others, one. Here is
where the trouble would come in. The
entire number in each Of these states
would be elected by enc party, and the
Republicans would not wish this in
New York, New Jersey and Indiana.
But Mr.. DUNNELL Will hardly have
time to get up bill and pass it without
neglecting his home fences.

WILL BE PROHIBITED.

In his campaign for governor of IIli-
nois two years ago, Gen. PALMER made
one of his most effective points in oppo-
sition to the use of PINKERToN armed
detectives in the protection of the i'll
terests of corporations. He was bitterly
attacked by many of the Republican
papers for his denunciation of this
practice. There had been signal illus
trations in Illinois of the impoliey and
danger involved in it. There is now
hardly dissent in any creditable quarter
where corporation pay rolls are not in
use, to the disapproval of this method of
preserving the peace. In Chicago the
authorities propose to interfere and pro-
hibit the exercise of the police powers
assumed by the detectives. 1t has in
the case of strikes nearly always re-
suited in bloodShed. Bitterness and bad
feeling is always aroused in much
greater degree than when the lawful
authorities exercise their power. The
Chicago example will probably be fol-
lowed in most large cities.

MIXED PICKLES.

The Republican Tow over the election
and tariff bills is still in full blast, and
will probably reach the climax to-day,
as Mr.. QUAY has announced his pur-
pose to force his resolution upon the at
tention of the senate to-day. The diff
ferenees between the Republican sem
ators are of nature that do not easily
admit of a compromise, and it would be
a fortunate thing for the country if the
ruction is kept up until both the force
bill and the MCKINLEY bill go to the
wall.
1t is not question of principle so
much with the Republican senators as
it is one of financial interests, and this
is the reason why it will be difficult to
effect compromise. The two Pennsyl-
yania senators lead the bolt against the
force bill, and they have double rea-
son for the action they have taken.
One IS that the two principal

WHERE WOMEN VOTE.

With the exception of Nevada, which
has fallen from $4,000 to 10000 in the
past ten years, Wyoming, with its Co.
600, has the smallest population of any
state. 1t would probably not have been
admitted had the figures been known.
But with assurances and the woman
suffrage system in full operation, there
was no doubt entertained that it could
always be put in the Republicanicolumn
unchallenged. But the little state is
now rocked with its first real party con-
test, and the reports are that the Demo
Gratis have rather the best show. They
have some advantage in strong men On
their ticket, and in the Australian bal
lot. The women are not quoted as par
tial to either side, and will no doubt
divide as their male kindred do. Women
have voted there twenty years, and
yet the question of prohibition does not
seem to have been raised. If the state
does go for the Democrats, the Rephb-
licans will see that they made blunder
in admitting it.
