At ktaaawr, FortUaa. a OX THE GR1UIR0X. . a I The World to-morrow will publish two-column arralngment of Attorney-General Olney, in which will appear the following from its Wash ington correspondent regarding that official's attitude toward the Chinese law: Attorney-Oeneral Olney entertains no sympathy with the law regulating the Intercourse ot Chinese with the United States. He believes the oppo sition to the fresh Ingress of coolies come from the working people and the lower cla generally. The law prohibiting the continuation of th enoll avslem iii this country not agmitble to the ltiaiton arlstne- racy; hence he Im not hesitated to condemn the slutute which prevents the untrammeled coming and going of as many Oil nose as the Six Com panies choose to transport. ' It is openly charged here that the Chicago, Burlington and Qulucy Railroad would like to Introduce Chinese along Its thousands of miles of lines as lalwrers, and that Mr. Ol ney, as director and apeclal counsel of the corporation, naturally desires to aid its means of money-making. Of the truth of this there is no satis factory evidence. The fact remains, however, that there is no more rad ical opponent of the Chinese restric tive laws than he. The criticism Is quite general that, while the right to entertain whatever private views he likes on the ques tion of political economy rests with the Attorney-Oenernl, there is no Justification for his allowing his indi vidual prejudices to interfere with his sworn duty as an officer of the law. He hits steitdrttstly refused to aid in carrying out the law as it stood previous to the passage of the recent modification of the original Geary act, extending the time for Chinese to register. At the time Judge Lacomlw of (he District Court of the United Htales at New York directed two Chinese to he deported for violation of the law in refusing to register, and turned them over to the United Htates Mar shal, with directions to him to carry out tho law, Attorney-General Olney prevailed iinii Judge Iiacomtie to susuend his order and to release the! n.in.n ih. vn ...irniranii.

The reply was that there were no funds he could use for tho purpose. Geary thought there was an avails- ble balance remaining of the unex- pendetl general fund of tho Law De partment. Accortlingly he went to the Treasury and Inquired of Secre tary Carlisle. The latter sent fori Assistant Secretary Hamlin, who investigated and reported that there were about $23,000 of the general fund to the credit of the Attorney General. Mr. Oeary asked Assistant Secre tary Hamlin to go over to the Attor ney-General with him. When Olney was seen again he changed his tactics and informed Mr. Geary that he was not called upon to enforce the law ; it was the duty of the Secretary of Treasury. Mr. Geary denied that there was anything in the law that left Ihe deportation of Chinese to the Treasury. The statutes were produced and it was demonstrated that the Secretary of the Treasury should attend to the registry of Chinese persons, but nothing was mentioned about him removing them fromthe country. Mr. Geary pointed this out to the Attorney-General and then inquired If it was not law that when a case was decided by the United States Court the execution of its decree was the duty of the United States Mar shal. Judge La com be had ordered two Chinese to he sent out of the country. Should not the marshal execute the court's order? Olney was forced to admit that this was quite correct. "Will you rescind your order then and have the prisoners deported asked Mr. Oeary. The Attorney -Gnral retreated to his old position, saying, "There Is no money to use." Then Mr. Geary quoted 'Mr. Ham lin's statement that there was an available balance of $23,000, sufficient to send away the two. Driven to the wall Olney threw off the mask and flatly refused to act. His disbelief in the Chinese over came his sense of duty. We know," said Mr. G-ary, "that the present Attorney-General has re fused to enforce the United Slates tai UV hdaflfeA K HibM first hiIiV.A Ifl It it.

We had the r ght to demand that the party pledges be fulfilled, and that if a democratic officer stood in the way, then that democratic officer should go down and out." . CARLISLE'S PITIABLE SITCATI0X. The situation of SecretaryOafllsle is one that apMaIs to the sympathy P P""!'!. Ho I carrying- I t ,, . I. . "toting," as he would say the heav iest burden of cure, anxiety and per plexity tlmt has rested upon the shoulders of any cabinet officer since the dark days of war. To the extent of his power and opportunity he has labored In a faithful way to conduct the financial affairs of the govern ment with discretion and advantage; but the conditions have been singu larly unfavorable to him from the start. It was only after a prolonged and exciting struggle that he was able to secure the necessary congres sional action for the adjustment of the silver difficulty. Ho has been face to face with an ugly monthly deficit ever since last July. And now he has been compelled to order a sale of bonds to provide money for the payment of ordinary expenses a proceeding for which he is being sharply criticised by his own party, rind which he has been summoned to explain and defend to a committee of the congress th.it should help him, but that seems disponed Instead to multiply his troubles." He Is not personally responsible, of course, for the miserable state of things that he has to deal with ; but being placed as he Is, the fierce light of public Impa tience and Indignation beats upon him as if he were alone to blame in the matter. It is his misfortune, in other words, to stand as the repre sentative of his party when in fact his party is Ihe cause of his distress. There Is reason to believe that If this embarrassed secretary could have his own way he would is-rform me uutiesor nis great omce according repuhllcun method and prcced- enw, ami itirn'ftjrc TfrTfirtntercsts of Chl-lfarry out his goo-i intentions, ne i did not bring nlmut the deficit, he does not wish to si-ll iNind under a doubtful interpretation of a law passed nearly twenty years ngu ; but these things count against him nil the same, because his party fails ti sustain aud a-it him In his laula ble efforts to live up to Ihe cxmnvv or Ms repuiuicuti pr.tiisv-si.rs. li i- Impossible for hint lo pu s -the Wllsonlaii pmji-ei ol i. trill" -ni i- i Ing, with its inevitable train of dis asters. He can m t prevent the Im pending Increase of internal taxes to make up for reckless reduction of customs duties. Tho old wild-cat currency system is likely to be re vived, In spite of all that he cs ii do to avert the calamity. How many other grave mistakes may be made by the present congress, regardless of his protests and entreaties, nobody can tell; and all of the injurious effects must necessarily fall upon hint in point of official annoyance and discredit, because he happens to beat the head of the Treasury Depart ment. It is only fair to say that his case is extremely pitiable, and that he deserves kind ami indulgent treatment at the hands of the people whom he would be glad to serve In an efficient and profitable way if his party would only permit him to make such a record.

A remarkable story came to liht yesterduy regarding an exis-rience on Monday night of Charles Onbornc, tho mining man of Shasta county, with a pickpocket, In which he came off immeasurably best. Osborne has Just sailed fur South Africa in com pany with J. C. Petty. The story Is so unusual as to seem hardly cred ible, but Is vouched for In a way to carry belief. Osborne arrived here several weeks ago. He is one of the best known mining men of California, having mined "fur vears in the North. He f?. i... ..r .1... g 1 1. wuft luv uimvvi rw v. iiiit .iiuutwii(- gold mine, French Gulch, which he sold for $MI,000. A he was no his way to Johannesburg to take charge of some mines and did not know when he would get back, he cut uonie time here seeing tho sights and taking his ease preparatory, to start ing. While here he sent to Redding for $1000 which he received by express. Much of this money he carried on his person, for Osborne is a big, stal wart man, who has been about the world and Is not afraid of anybody. One night over a year ago, when he and his friend Petty were out seeing the sights, a light-flngtrcd man touched him for two $20 gold pltre, w hich he had In one of his trousers pockets. Thru' was a surprise toOf borne, and set him to thinking. He had never had anything like that happen before, and he was much an noy til. He said nothing about it at the time, however, hut set to work devising a plan for thwarting any similar accident In the future. In a dim way he recollected that l.e thought some one had put a hand In his pocket on the night he lost the coins. Osborne, as Is customary among many mining men, wears sulisiantial corduroy clothing, and these are equipsd with unus ually strong pockets. In the rtbt pocket of his trousers, therefore, he skillfully arranged half a dozen big fishhooks, each carefully fastened to Its place, and In such a way that they would offer no resistance to a hand being inserted, but the hand would lie grasped by the barbs while being withdrawn. Any one of the hooks rtrmild hold a 10-ounl huIiiioii, Thus rquipKd O-iborne again started forth. At the corner of Cali fornia and Kearny street a fakir was blithesouiely expatiating about his wures, and the mining man :ipK'd to hear what he had to say. Deslrou of test I n ir his Invention, he Untried two or three $20 1 1 eces care lessly iu sight, and then (lroxd a mil i If of tin-in in o the yawning muw u lo-v ilii- fl lihiH.k-. Then he leaned liiick and Ist-ame tdisorhcd in the tris'r-c. nc r oritory. In a few nioiiiciiK -up i i onjli, he felt a lintid "i .'j ili in his XH'kft. It moved io iy -i'.d or, fully, I ut ev ery linn- tie- inkir said anything to make the crowd Isuli It went down with more eon II lence. Pretty Mion .Mr. Gnome frit that he had a u an at hi' ellsiw who was doing some deep thinking. He knew lhi by lh- lontm itioii 'h it had taken place In his MM.-k t. He said nothing, but he knew something was going to haps?n. It did, whi-n a voice said : 'Say, mister, I've got my hand In your ptK-ketl" "What in have you pot your hand in my pts-ket for?" said Oslsirnc cheerfully. "Why dont you take it out?" "I can't;" Its caught," said the man, looking up aud turning pale. "Well, come right down here to a policeman. He w ill help you take it out," replied the mining man, and he moved off as he spoke, the thief being forced to trot along by the side of his captor. "Oh, I didn't get any money. For heaven's sake let me go!" cried the thief. Osborne did not care anything about imprisoning the fellow and punishing him further. lie declared he would not have minded it a bit if he had lost the additional gold pieces. All he wanted was to see if hi trap would work. So he released the fellow and let him go. He Immedi ately ran away, and Osborne returned to his hotel, followed by several people. II. R. Bemis and others examined the fishhook guarded pocket. It had considerable blood in it from the lacerated hand of the wouid-be thief. S. F. Chronicle. What I Thflr Relation. Goble at the northern terminus of the Northern Pacific railroad In this state has a couple of interesting couples, one of whom are the proud parents of an heir and son whom it would puzzle a gotal mathemati'-ian to designate hi relationship to all parties concerned.

The won1 couple omsww 01 ithe mother of the aforementioned beardless youth who Is married to The last men- IUh! couple are the proud parent 'of sob, and the question of n-lstion CJembt" of tbe ly is proving a most vexing one. Prior to the advent ol this young hopeful, by dint of close application upon all spare occasions the several parties interested had to their satis faction demonstrated that the women mentioned are each daughters of their own sou while the youthful benedicts ate apou the same hy pothesis father of their own mothers.

Professor Wilson of Wit Virginia ha been very determined, in fram ing hi taritf measure, to secure cheap wisjIcii clothing for the masses of the people. The only trouble w ith him Is that he goes alsiut it In a theoret ical instead of a practical way. This was to I' expected Irom a college professor w ho Is not it btislues man. He first set to work to ruin the farmer who produce wool, so that they would have little or no money with which to buy woolen goisls. Wo remember the touching solici tude with which Professor Wilson, in a recent paper, referred to sample of cheap, F.ngllsh woolen good on his desk, that would afford warm and comfortable clothing to the poor working girl. Rut if 1'rofew.or Wil son has closed down the factory where the pi sir girl worked and haa taken from her the opportunity of earning a living, how is she going to pay his 40 per cent, tax on the cheap Knglish woolen goods, let alone the price of the material and the profit of tho Importer ? Wo have already shown In the American Economist how the woolen manufacturer of llradford, F.ngland, state that they w ill, under the Wil son bill, s.H'tire Iw-tter control of our market of 70,000,000 people than they have ever had, and what a boom to them the free wool to ur will ls, lxt us now look at the prospect for cheap woolens from the standpoint of a New York Importing hrnim, mm -mnvtrti by- MfWS. IVtl. Van Ingen & Co., who have always la-en interested in securing free trade for Knglish gssls. In a recent cir cular this firm said : We are having many Inquiricr from our customers n to the effect upon prices if the tariff bill now ls fore is ingress shall become a law. That hill proHses to place wool upon tho free list and to inuko the duty upon woolen goods 10 per cent, ad valorem. Wild mjcIi rule of duly fine grade of foreign ootl would be reduced in price ail. mt 1.5 per cent, and medium gntlc s-rhapn 20 to 2.1 ja-r cent. With frco wool . American good would probably be reduced about 10 per cent., possibly iu some cases 10 ptr cent. Rut the new tariff on woolens will certainly not take effect before July I, und therefore spring aud summer gtssls w ill not bo af fected in prievs at all. Highly exaggerated ideas will pre vail among tailors' customers, we suspect, as to the reduced prices of garments when the change of Inrifl does come. If wane remain as now the reduced cost of cloth will warrant no more than .1 s r cent, reduction In the tailors' prices, or say $2 to $3 on a suit. During the coming six months the tailor will, no doubt, In? able to mod ify the expectations of those custom ers w ho tuny be looking for a Knitter reduction. With a reduction of from :J0 to Hsi kt cent. In the cost of raw wrsil, ami of 2.1 to I lo per cent. In the cost ofwtsilcn production the freetrad er have promised In their new tar iff, is it not astounding to learn from such a high trade authority as we have quoted that "if wages remain as now, the reduced cost of cloth w ill warrant no more than .1 s-r cent re duction?" Hut if wages go lower there may l a lower price, though there I no promise to this effect, nor is It stated what proportion the decline in cloth will lar to the decline In wages. How about the ssir working girl, Professor Wilson, whom you deprive of work and to whom yon have promised nice Lnglish cloth at PK) ts-rcent. less than tho present price. Will you tny the difference, of IM ts-r cent., professor, to all the working girl who want English cloth at your theory price-?- Economist.

A special cMi rvspondont sends this bit of good reading lo the St. Louis ( i lobc-1 tcmocrat: At that famous Victoria hotel tli li ner, when President Cleveland sat at the board with Ricltard Croker and Lieutenant Governor Sheehan, he said tnat ho was a believer In demo cratic organization. Furthermoro the president added that if elected (hi time he would do nothing b In jure the democratic organization, in New York city, Brooklyn ami tho state. These famous democratic or ganizations had elected him governor mid president, find were about to elect Mm nain to the presidency. Tlio-c close to the president havo said ail along that ho was not bound in any way to rocoguizo tho orguui .ations with patronage, because Mr. Croker, Mr. Mclaughlin, Senator Murphy, (iovernor Flower, Lieu tenant Governor Sheehan and all of Senator Hill's friends had fought Mr. Cleveland's nomination at Chi i -a go. For a reply the leaders de clare that they had n s-rfcct right to oppose nny man's nomination at Chi cago. On their return from Chicago they sailed in for Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland's remarks nt the Victoria Hotel dinner were made during the fierce heat of tin-campaign, and his assurances were accepted. Nolssly -aid tim ing ihe campaign that tho democrats had no right to oposo Mr. Cleveland at Chicago. This was u poht-elis-tiou device. It Inventor now siy that Senator Hill and Murphy have no right lo opiKMC the president's nomination. The two New York senators Isire patiently everything up to the Horn blower and Pcckhnm nominations. Ilornblower and Pcckham are and have been the osn nnd avowed ene mies of the democratic organization in New York, and It was determined to make a stand against them. Sen ators Hill and Murphy have not nskctl President Cleveland for any thing, 'l in y have not been consul tisl on a single appointment. They have not asked to be consulted. With the Victoria hotel dinner In mind, look at a Hit of Ihe president's appointments iu New York state for the ten months of his administration. Ninety-seven anti-organiztion demo crats, not including fourth-class post masters, have la-en given olllce, while only thirteen organization demiM-rats have leen slmiliarly fav ored. The democrats hereabout of til stripes fail to understand the de lay of the president In not appolnt- ng successors to several official .vhoso terms have expired. The dis cord and dissatisfaction are daily In creasing, it is considered a mighty peculiar condition of things, when republicans are aching to get out of eflico und democrats eager to get into otllce, that nothing has been done.
