New York and the Tariff.

Morgan ]. OBrien. formerly a supreme
court justice in New York is now in Europe
on holiday and talking politics to the
correspondents of American newspapers
He is an estimable and popular man. and
confesses that he is much interested in the
efforts to effect harmony in the New York
democracy. On that point he says:
There are three very strong elements at
war with each other. and the efforts to
find some common ground on which all
three could meet have somewhat of the
elements of Diogenes search for an honest
man. But i think that progress has been
made. | feel that matters are in better
shape toward reconciliation and adjust
ment than they were some months ago
Still, when three strong-willed and power
full factions disagree reconciliation is diff
tcult task My interest has been purely
that of a desire to see democracy present a
united front TO republicanism.
The democracy, TO my mind. should
unite upon one issue, tariff reform. In
other words. we should get back to Cleve-
lands program. which was tariff reform
and 1 believe that in this We would have
the people and public sentiment with us.
ITO my mind the evils of trusts have
simply been brought by unfair tariffs.

An Easy Victim.

There can be no genuine sympathy for the
Ohio banker who sat in a faro game in
New York recently and lost $4,000 to
gang of professional gamblers. According
to his story one of the card sharps induced
him to go into the game by promise that
he was to be allowed to win 100000 in
order to get revenge upon the syndicate
owning the game. Thus he was deliberate
ly entering into conspiracy to defraud.
Things did not go according to schedule.
and when two sittings had been completed
the Ohio man had lost $4,000. Feeling
that probably this was only blind to cover
the ultimate delivery of the goods by the
man who had promised him riches. he
hired a special train. went out to Ohio.
raised $4,000 more and returned to New
York. He soon dropped the extra roll of
bills, and then reached the conclusion that
he had misunderstood the bargain and that
it was probably intended that he should
lose 100000 instead of winning that
amount. So he quit the game and going to
Pittsburg told his story to the authorities
and later caused the arrest of three of the
sharpers. After learning the facts the
magistrate expressed the opinion that he
was probably without Jurisdiction, but
would withhold his final decision for a
week.
Such easy money schemes would seem
to De too transparent to fool any business
man. but it is alleged that this same game
has been worked in the past two years
upon residents of Pittsburg and vicinity
with more cash than prudence and that
more than $1.0O0GO has changed hands in
consequence. The gullibility of the man
with the large roll and desire to make 1t
larger is sometimes beyond belief. He is
caught by the man with a priceless inven-
ton. or bonanza mine. or. even in these
days of wide publicity, with a satchel full
of alleged counterfeit money. The fake
crooked card game is a familiar device,
and In that case the victim is in the same
position as the would-be purchaser of green
goods. He goes into the affair with a
fraudulent intention, and when he is
f1eeced he gets only what he has intended
to impose upon others. If Pittsburgers are
as susceptible of persuasion by the crooks
as is now represented the steel metropolis
is in fair way to distribute it's surplus
wealth to other financial centers in short
order. and by less creditable methods than
the building of public libraries or the in
stitution of art galleries.

The Garbage Strike Ended.

After several days of inaction caused
by the refusal of the regular garbage
collectors of New York to work under
the established rules and rates of pay,
the big city's disposal service has been
resumed and a situation fraught with
the most menacing possibilities has been
ended. The strikers undertook to secure
from the mayor a promise to grant their
demands. but upon being assured by him
with more frmness than he has been
wont to display in emergencies hereto
fore that he would not treat with In
subordinate employees their leaders de-
cided to call off the strike and clean up
the city. They were then assured by
the municipal executive that when the
emergency had been met and the city
restored to a normal condition he would
consider the grievances of the workers
1t is highly characteristic of the big
city that the day the strike was called
off was marked by the most serious riot
ing on the part of the crowds in the
tenement district. To add to the con-
fusion and danger of the situation pyro-
technic bombs or torpedoes, used by
Italians in their celebrations. were
thrown from roofs and windows into
the ranks of the policemen and strike
