1t takes all kinds Of people to make q

TIE TRIBUNE strives to increase its
popularity is that of giving to
each reader something that will

news Of industries; but 1t will always
be that which will appeal to his special
interest and supply, in as careful man

While recognizing the necessity Of
varied news supply, The TRIBUNE ney-
ertheless hopes to bO able to put in its
best licks along lines that will elevate

be predicted that the Hon. Joe Sibley will
not be nominated ~ their next candidate

that he Is more of Populist and Prohi-

The Republican Fight in the
Seventh Ward Grows Hot.
The Seventh ward has seldom been so
torn up politically as it will be tomor-
row evening when the friends of Eli
Warner and Willie Lightner will try
conclusions. 1t is conceded by all
hands that should nothing better result,
it will make Lightner acquainted with
the ward. for it Is matter of record
that since this strife began he has
abandoned his usual custom of reQuir.
ing to be twice introduced to man be-
fore he knows him again. The fight Is
really Summit avenue against the rest
of the ward, with Fred Bryant thrown
into the Lightner scale as a paper
weight, and the betting Is to l forW ar
ner, as the rank and file has hot poker
i'll the fire for the autocrats of the Har-
ris Richardson stripe who affect to be
ward dictators. Fred Bryant has really
hurt more than helped the Lightner
cause in inducing ridicule, and good
story is told of him in connection with
the famous coachmen's meeting in Cor
dOn'S barn. He wanted to furnish some
beer, and wanted to buy as little as
would answer the purpose, so tele
ph0ned Paul Lavallee to know how

Cardinal Gibbons Talks Interest
ingly on Labor.
FRosTBURG, Nd, Sept. so. Cardinal
Gibbons, in a sermon Oh the labor ques-
tion today. SAID in part:
''Bofore the coming of Christ manual
labor was held In degradation and rele-
gated to slaves as being unworthy of
free men. Christ, our Savior, has dig
nified and ennobled labor by word and
example. He was pleased to devote
many years of His life to mechanical
pursuits. and when Ae worked in the
carpenter shop He shed halo around
the shop. If the profession of Il general
as ennobled by Washington. if the
profession of a statesman as ennobled
by the example of a Webster and
Burke, if the profession of jurist as
ennobled by Marshal and Taney, il
the volume of prelate as ennobled by
the example of q Carroll. then the call
ing of a workingman is dIgnified by the
example of a Christ.
Labor has Its rights, chief among
which is the privilege OF organization
without infringing upon employers.
One of the most difficult questions in
our times to discuss is the question OF
strikes. Strikes, as experience has de-
monstrated. are very questionable for
the redress OF laborers' grievances.
The statistics furnished show that the
losses to employees by strikes for eight
years amounted to nearly SIS, 100000,
while the employers only lost one-half
this amount. l earnestly hope that
efficient remedy will be found to put an
end to our recurring strikes, and
arbitration seems to be that most potent
method that can be conceived Of"

BIG ATLANTIC GALE,
Shipping Having Rather Hard
Time of 1t.

QUARANTINE, Staten Island, Sept. 30.
The prevailing easterly wind of the
past few days caused an unusually high
tide today. At s o'clock a. IN. the wind
hauled to tine east northeast and con-
tinued to freshen and at II o'clock it
blew a strong gale from the same di-
rectiou, with a very heavy sea and
prospects of big storm. Incoming
vessels reported a tremendously heavy
sea running all along the coast. Yes
sells from the eastward have had the
southwark felt the full force of the
storm. The steamer Comal. of the NAL
lory line. was the only vessel to arrive
this morning from the southwark. Capt.
Risk reports having experienced very
heavy weather since leaving Galveston,
continuation of east or northeast
gales with high head seas, which greatly
retarded her progress, she being de-
layed more than twenty-four hours. She
received no damage, however. A very
high tide prevailed along the Staten
Island shore this morning, but so far as
could be ascetained no serious damage
was done to property along the shore.
L Ht Sltdiuct OIcCldii, VI Tic Allou line,
which cleared yesterday for Glasgow,
went to an anchor in Gravesend bay to
await an abatement OF gale. AT As a.
m. she got under way and proceeded on
her voyage. All vessels coming from
Southern and West indians ports will
undoubtedly feel the full force of the
gale and be delayed many hours.
ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., Sept. 30.-The
northeast storm which has been raging
along the coast for several days is in
creasing in fury tonight. Heavy gales
are playing havoc with the telephone
and telegraph wires and the surf IS
dangerously high. The water is on a
level with buildings In the inlet district
and is breaking over the board walk all
along the ocean front. The electric
| railroad on Brigantlne beach has bean
washed out in several places on the
| lower end OF the beach, aud 1t is feared
that the big steamboat wharf will go,
| as it is rapidly weakening. The rail-
| road tracks over the meadows are SUBJ
| merged and the late afternoon trains
| had great difficulty In crossing.
Boston. Mass. Sept 30.-The coast
of Southern New England was visited
| by fierce gale today, causing unusually
high tides. but which, having been
| anticipated for several days, did only
| slight damage to shipping. The hurri-
canes from the South have slowly crept
northward, until today the storm center
was about 15D miles south Of Fire island
| light. The wind blew forty-four miles
| an hour off Block island this forenoon,
and same rain fell, but the precipitation
was slight. The harbor is filled with
south-bound vessels.

MONEY IN POLITICS.
Vest Says Lots of 1t Will Be Used
in New York,

in New York.
SEDALIA, Mo-. Sept. 80. - United
States Senator George E. Vest arrived
here today. Questioned upon the politi-
cal situation in New York he predicted
the election of Hill. whom he consid-
cred most remarkable mau. Continu-
ing he said:
II do not regard Hill as a great man
or as the pOssessor of a great intellec t.
but he is great worker without anv
appetites or passions. Hill voted against
the tariff bill on account of the income
tax, not because he objected to its pro-
visions as to tariff duties on sugar or
anything else. The income tax
he irrevocably opposed for two rea-
sons: First, because he wanted to
strengthen himself with the business
men of New York, who had always
been for Cleveland; second, because he
did not want to drive from the Demo-
cratic party in New York the men who
make liberal subscriptions for cam.
paigns. Hill is determined not to give
up his hold in New York whatever
happens. and he played the opposition
to the income tax as his trump card. AS
to Tammany, which rules the party in
New York, it is governed by the
sachems, who are either rich men or
expecting to be rich. OF course, the
Tammany leaders are against the
income tax and Hill knows it. New
York politics is a strange business and
money is the principal factor. Morton
will be bled until he will give no more
and Hill will have all the money he
needs. think Hill will beat him."
