TIE poLITIoAL SITUATION.

The Democratic Generals Taking the
Lead in New York-How Long mr..
Cleveland Will Stay.
New YORK, October 1.-The week, polit-
ically, closes down here upon situation
which is congested with possibilities. The
foreground of the political field is at pres
ent occupied chiefly by the Democratic
Generals. The Republican forces lie back
and watch and wait the movements of
their adversaries.
The gathering here of the Democratic
State and National Committeeman and the
presence of Mr. Cleveland and Senator
Hill all contri buted to growing interest in
the present Democratic movements here.
Ex-President Cleveland has notyet decided
how long be will stay in New York City.
His stay will be determined In measure
by the progress on his new city residence.
Since his arrival in New York he has seen
nearly all the Democratic leaders of the
city and State and large number of prom
inent politicians engaged IN the work Of
the national campaign. His last caller left
the Victoria Hotel shortly before midnight
last night

There is one American heiress who
was not dazzled by the brillisncy of the
\ona-karat-gold plated coronets of the
Aoken down nobility Of Europe. Her
name is, or was, FLORENCE BLYTHE, Of
California, and she is a four-times mil
li9uairess.
She had no sooner got possession Of
her fortune than the rag-tag and bob
tail Of European nobility laid siege to
her --os American dollars. The poor
m was worried and even badgered and
bnuied half to death by about every
5nsoidated lord, count, duke, baron,
,-opis. keeper Of the royal socks, and
master Of the imperial bOOt-jack that
81 wind of her millions. No
less than sixty Of these titled bummers
rote her letters, offering their tin

CELESTIAL sMUGGLERs.
They Run Opium aud Chinese Into the
Country UnlRWfullY.

CHICAGO, ILL, October Treasury
agents here are not alone Of the opinion
that syndicate has existed here for
the purpose of smuggling Cinnamon In
to the States, but that opium snug
Cling has been an important branch Of
the work. Up to within few months
ago Sam Moy, now under arrest at De-
troit, and his friends professed the
greatest friendship for the government
agents and furnished information that
led to the capture Of opium smugglers.
Since then it is said that the Celes-
tials have been playing double role.
Several suspicious acts on the part OF
Sam Moy and his friends have excited
the ire of the treasury agents, and COD
fldence is no longer reposed in them.
As to who the leaders Of the syndicate
are can only be conjectur out that it
is powerful, embracing many of the
Chinese merchants of this city, the
government has no doubt.

men entered the railroad depot at Nicho.
las Junction, four miles from here, and
wit drawn revolvers demanded that night
telegraph operator, Robinson, should open
the safe. This he could not do, not know
ing the combination. They knocked him
down with coupling pin and bound and
gagged him, while they ransacked the
place. Four passengers sleeping in the
depot were robbed of all they had.

nsAxr n A souAKE DEAL

The arrest Of i've and the issuing OF
warrants for the arrest Of twenty-eight
other leaders Of the locked-out work
men at Homestead has excited consid-
cradle comment and, also, general In
dignation among those whose sympa-
thies are with the men-and they are
not few.
To man up tree itwould look as If
the authorities of Allegheny county
were pulling" with CARNEGIE 4 Co.,
for it is plain that if the leaders who
manage and speak for the workmen are
put out of the way the remainder would
be practically helpless-in the position
OF an army without officers.
The charge OF treason" upon which
these warrants were issued is based up
on an old and almost obsolete law, and
is almost unprecedented in such cases.
The armed Pinkertons whom the strik-
ers resisted were an unlawful body and
represented no State authority, and
CARNEGIE & Co., are as liable to arrest
for bringing them to Homestead as the
men are for resisting their entrance.
We have yet to hear of the strikers re-
sisting any State authority, unless the
over-awlng Of ten deputy sheriffs at the
beginning Of the strike can be so called.
These, however, were protected from
violence by committee Of the strikers
themselves.
Both sides were wrong at the start,
and the men are already under indict-
ments for murder. Is not that enough?
This ad iitional charge under an almost
forgotten law aud the arrest of their
leaders for 'treason against the State"
looks very much like persecution. 1t
also looks very much as if CARNEGIE
& Co. owned the authorities of Allie
gheny county.
When it is figured down to matter
of justice the balance is at least equal
between the strikers and the company.
1t is sufficiently hard lines for the
locked out men and their families, as
the situation stands.
Give them fair show.

AN INJUSTICE.

TIE TRIBUNE has no doubt that it was
an unwise move on the part of Mayor
O'Brien to have instituted contests against
so many citizens who have applied to pur-
chase tide fats within the city. 1t was
not only unwise, but they will prove ex-
pensive and useless proceedings. In the
first place, the law never contemplated
that municipality should enter the field
Of real estate speculation and the city can
not maintain itself as a purchaser under
the statute, hence these contests will only
add expense without profit.
The TRIBUNE regrets that so many citi-
zens have so unjustly been put to so much
unnecessary expense in order to protect
their interests against the city. The Off
GERS Of the city should be the last to i'm
pose such burdens upon its residents
and The city councils attention
is now directed to this mat
ter in time, so that prompt
action in checking the mayor in what ap-
pears to have been done without authority
will save this city considerable expense
and prevent further imposition upon those
citizens who are clearly in the right. and
should be permitted to purchase without
other expense than that named in the
appraised value.
