GOULD SAVED HIM. J

At Sequel to the Fall la Manhattan Un' vmted Railroad Stock—Cyras VV. Field j Would Hare Bee a a Ftaaarlal Wrec k hat I for the Timely Interposition at day Goold—He Is SUU Safe From the Poor Nsw Yobe, July' 1—Cyrus W. Field turned over the remainder of his Elerated stock to Jay Gould Wednesday. The; amount was 90,000 shares, which, with the , 59.000 shares previously disposed of by Mr. Field to Mr. Gould, shows the former's total holding to have been 70,0)0 shares. The value ot Mr. Field’it big' block of stock s.t 160, which was the market value before the downward. movement began, was 511,301,000 He now bas no inteiest in Manhattan, and will retire from the board of directors. Mr. Gould will keep the first lot of 30,00? 1 shares to add to his own holdings, making ' his total interest in the stock of the com- < pany about HO,OTO,OOa The-second lot of 30.000 shares be will split up. The correspondent baa tbe whole story of Mr. Field’s retirement from good authority. It was enforced. He wsti carrying his monstrons load on margins. He bad borrowed money from nearly every trust company in the street, on the stook as fast be acquired'it, in order to hoy more. He finally cornered the stock and ran the price up to 170, The fate of his corner was, however, the fate of very nearly all corners. Disaster overtook him. After the collapse of the coffee and wheat corners and tbe breaking of the Fidelity Bank, the trust companies and other money lenders grew distrustful and began to call their loans. The market began to shrink and M-. Field diid not margin down his stock any lower, as be had no collateral on which to raise money. It was then that he and his son B1ward went to Mr. Gonld’s house at Irvington. Mr. Field told Mr. Gould the position he was in. He could no longer curry his load. Mr. Gould was satisfied of Mr. Field’s solvency if given relief from his Elevated stock burden, and agreed to take the amount offered, 50,000 shares, at the price it averaged Mr. Field, which was about 130. Mr. Gould came to New York the next morning to procure the money and complete the transaction. It turned out, however, that Mr. Field was still unable to extricate himself, and again he went to Mr. Gouid and asked the latter to take tbe rest of the stock. $fr. Gould .agreed to do so and furnished the money to margin it down. In tbs early part of the day Mr. Field’s face had indicated great mental distress. After the deal with Mr. 'Gould was consummated he was in excellent spirits. Toe disposition of tbe stock had saved him from perhaps complete financial ruin. Mr. Field, despite his great, loss in Manhattan, is still a wealthy man. His fortune is estimated at 53,00X00(1 He saves all his real estate, and the United States Bank, in which he has the ecntroling interest, is relieved from any embarrassment to which it might have been subjected. Tbe Washington huildingeest 53,- j 70X000, and there is a mortgage of 51,000,900 on it Mr. Field bas an extensive propertv on the Hudson. He has.in addition,the Matt and Xxprmt. Mr. Field Is now slxlyseveu years old. He is too far along in years to regain his position as n leader in the financial world. He has always been proud of the fact that his name is historical as n promoter of the Atlantic cable and Elevated railroad system in New York. Russell Sage was asked last night If the statement of Mr. Field’s complete retirement from the Elevated waa correct, and he replied that it was Mr. Field had disposed of ill his stock. Mr. Sage d d not care to name the price of the stock, that was a matter between Mr. Gould and Mr. Field. !lt was ascertained that Drexel, Morgan <ft Coand 8. Wormaer, T._W. Pernall ft Co. and 3. V. White ft Co were among the houses which were carrying Manhattan stock for Mr. Field. Mr. Field’s loss on Eletra’ed stock, it is estimate!, will reach 53,500,00a _ _ PRAYING FOR RAIN, 4 Serious Drought Raining the Cro|n and Blighting the Prospects of the Farmer, at Western Illinois.

ROTTEN TO THE CORE. T

n» Intotorwaee, Dtohacmtjr •»« DtcaulMOV of the KepaMfoau: Party. A political party, with honor and principle as its guides, appears it its best in the moment of defeat, lieverses only tend toi purify if from the dross which accumulates around it after a long term of power and triumph. The leaders of such a party,, instead of being disheartened by non-success at the polls, renew their efforts with greater energy to i jput their party in better shape for the next contest, and their followers are inspired by s consciousness of the righteousness of their cause. Reform becomes their ralljing cry, and they endeavor, in every way. to show that they are sincere in their professions of reform. In this manner the Democratic party constantly increased its strength, won the admiration of even its opponents, and bore itself with dignity and respect during the long saturnalia of Republican rule. Thus it bui.lt itself! np after each defeat, and at length triumphed over what were considered insuperable obstacles. The people grew tired of the corruption of the dominant party and it; lawless methods to perpetuate its power, and in 1884 they n**c up i n their might and overthrew the corruptions and their mighty edifice of fraud, deception and tyrannical partisanship. They turned, towards the party which had given such indubitable tokens of its sincerity to the cause of reforms and placed it in charge of their, interests. How that trust has been fulfilled the historv of the present Administration for two years and a quarter sufficiently testifies, ’[tie judgment of the pwple has been amply sustained: corruption has disappeared from the Federal offices; economy has succeeded extravagance, and honesty has been substituted for thieving: the growing power of monopoly has been checked and the rights of labor have been recognized; the sunshine of business prosperity is beaming over the iand, ami on all sides is manifested a feeling of confidence and content. The Republican party has beea out of power for two years and a quarter, long enough to judge of its capability to sustain adverse*. How has it borne adversity? Has it endeavored to purify itself and win badk^the confidence of the people by endeavoring to assimilate itself to their interests? On the contrary, it has, strange to say, made every effort to alienate still further the minds of the people from it In this State it has delivered itself into the power of a petty boss, who has not even ability to back his pretensions. It has shown it3 contempt for the constitution, its servility towards the iorporations, its hostility toward Union veterans, Knights of Labor, Grangers and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,, its disregard for the canal and commercial interests of the State, its blind, unreasoning partisanship and its advocacy of indefensible jobs and schemes of plunder, it is no longer the Republican party that Seward, Conkling. Fenton and Arthur regarded with pridey it has become the party of Platt, the party of the rag ring, the ]>arty oC the “combine” and of “scrambling about the. corridors.” Republicanism has been transformed

into rlattism. Over in New Hampshire the Republican party is on the point of changing its name to that of the party of Chandler. The hero of the Tallapoosa, the last wrecker of Uncle Sam's navy, the maker of worthless contracts, which coat the taxpayers a pretty penny, has been sent to the United States Senate to represent the Granite State, One would suppose 'that the Republi can party had suffered enough in the past from the taint of Chandlerism, and that little experience would have taught it to let slippery *‘BiHu alone for the future. But experience seems to have been lost on it, if the confidence expressed by Senator Blair, that he hopes to have “Bill” Chandler as a colleague, be well founded. We may next expect to see “Secor" Robeson rising up in New Jersey and entrusted with the task of patching the badly shattered Republican machine in that State. Another appropriate resurrection in company with Chandler and Robeson would be that <*f Keifer tin Ohio. Such is the spirit shown by the Republican part)- in adversity. Experience has been lost upon it, or, rather, has made it, it possible, more intolerant and corrupt. It clings to every morsel of patronage with more eagerness than it did when the Nation’s coffers were in its custody and boldjy proclaim its intention, should the people ever give it the chance, which they will not, to boycott Democrats with more virulence than it did before, and make up for its exclusion from power by squeezing Umltaxpayers. A coterie ok rich men control its action and dictate its policy and it is as devoid of patriotic aspirations and principles as when it was driven out of the off ions it abased. Is it any wonder, then, that tie tide of Democracy is rising higher <each year and sweeping away, in its resistless power, Republican stronjjholds which, were considered impregnable? Even Rhode Island, *iron-c!«l and rock-ribbed Republican Rhode Island,” as Governor Hill termed it, has pntmird out of Republican hands, in spite of the party advantage maintainad by actually disfranchising every foreign-born citizen unless he is a freeholder. Signs of the final breaking np of the once proud party are manifested in other New England States and in the Northwest, where it wati most strongly entrenched. The chimge is easily aceountei for. The Den: erratic party Is giving the people bettor government than that which characterized Repnblican rate, and is in favor r«f Just and equal laws for all, The Repnblican party is still wedded to the Mote that earned its overthrow in ISfte and has shown in adversity « more malig

to show that it is entitled to an indefinite period of exclusion from the government of the peopf.— (If. T.) Argus.

DOWN ON THE NSSRO. Wfcy Ifte Sapubttnn Pmrty Ik Daaalurow In BmHittai IIm Oitannf Km In a recent speech or woman’s suffrage Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, said: “I have no hesitancy insaying that granting the right of suffrage to the colored people has nrovcntah ab- . solute and unqualified r,iitl»ire7r Senator Ingalls is a Republican, and one of the acknowledged leaders of his' party. It would be fair bit presume that he speaks for a large portion of his party on the question of negro suffrage. Rat we are not .’.eft to inference or conjecture on this point. From other Republican loaders and from various Republican newspapers have' come expressions similar to those of Senator Ingalls in his recent speech. It is a common thing to hear Republicans In Congress declare that the negro is a failure as a voter and is unfit to exercise the privilege of. the ballot. What is the logical result of such reasoning? If Senator Ingalls and his brother Republicans believe that the negro is unfit to vote, they are driven to one of two courses. They must either perpetuate what they denounce as an absolute and unqualified failure, or they must, disfranchise the negro. The colored voter will thus see that, in any event, he has.little to expect from the Republican party. If he is to vote at ail, it is over their protest It is easy to understand the position of Senator Ingalls and the other Republican leaders on the question of negro suffrage. When the negro became a voter the representation of the South and its relative influence in Congress were greatly increased. The Republicans supposed that they could always control the negro vote, by arraying it in opposition to the bulk of the white vote of the South- This miserable policy has failed. The white man and the black man in the South are naturally friendly. They understand each other and trust each other, It is true that a few years after the war the mass of negro voters blindly followed the lead of the carpet-baggers, Who found it easy to deceive this simplehearted race. But gradually the eyes of' the negro were opened, fie saw that he was a mere tool iu the hands of designing men who used him for their own advancement. He was robbed of h is hard-earned savings by his new friends. They fat-1 tened on public and private plunder while the negro dM the work and the voting by which they prospered. The result was inevitable. The negro found that after all bis truest and most reliable friends were the white men | with whom he had been reared. They were readiest to come to his help when he got into trouble. They did not lie to him, and they never stole his money. These facts have been impressing the negroes of the South more and. more forcibly during the past ten years. The. election of President Cleveland, and his wise and kind policy toward the negro, have done much to remove whatever of political prejudice might have remained in his mind. Now that he can not longer be Counted as a political slave of the Republican party, but is becoming an independent, intelligent voter, the Republican leaders declare that he is utterly unworthy of the ballot. If these men should attempt to carry their views on * negro suffrage to their logical result, the Democratic party will .stand by the negro and see that every right, be has under the constitution and the laws of his country shall be preserved.— Atlanta Constitution. ,

SOME AFTER-THOUGHTS. A Calm View of • g«atlra which Hha Excited ConeldenMe bdtaMkt There was really no occasion to kick up so delirious an excitement, oTer ■the proposed restoration of the captured Confederate Bags lo the various Southern States in which the raiments carrying these flags had beecr organized. The President has promptly rescinded the order, having found that the tattered aad battered trophies must await such disposition its Congress may see fit to make of them; and now the question arise# in "Ml seriousness: ■What harm can be done by scattering these mementoes of fratricidal conflict, or what good can b do*» by keeping them locked np in * |{arret at Washington? The Gntfmc does not .undervalue the sentiments of the vetenma ;who compose the Grand Amy of the Republic. They made great sacrifices for the maintenance of the Union, and are naturally proud of the victories they won. But "is there any good reason why they Should applaud She ferocious maledictions invoked ly General Tairrhikl? Secession is dead as Julius Caesar. North ami Soash are one and at peace. We arc all trying to obliterate; every ugly memory of the civil war. What, then, is the use of raising a rumpus about these flags that symbolist only a dead issue? They are not needed., to attest the patriotism or valor of those who captured them. Had itqf been committed to the care of separate organisations, they would probably have been returned long ago to the men who fought under them.
