The money market Is decidedly more active
TO day, owing to the increased demand for call
leans, consequent upon the revival of specula-
tioh among the stock brokers, but the discount
market continues very quiet, and rates for good
commercial paper easy to Arst-class borrowers.
The banks lend less freely than usual of late,
owing to the falling off in resources to meet the
wants OF the West, but the loan market Is still
unqualifedly easy. Call loans may be quoted
at about per cent, a lower range being excep-
tonal, and commercial paper is in request at

POlttfcs IN Alabama .. rr
MONTGOMERY, Ala, June 23.-The Daily
State Journal, the organ of the Republican
party of Alabama, in its issue this morning says:
''We have lived in this State for more than q
quarter of a century, and have never felt inse-
cure in person or property on account of politi-
cal opinions. We are sincere in our Republic
canism, and we feel safe because we love our
people and honestly believe that we are pur-
suing course that will rebound to their peace,
happiness and prosperity.
''Those men who call themselves Republicans
and who are continually trying to get into Office
by stirring up discord and strife and poisoning
the minds of voters in secret dens at midnight,
where honest men and sincere Republicans are
plotted against simply because they are honest
and sincere and have social standing in the
community, may feel unsafe. We inderse no
such libel upon the whole people of our State.
Radical, vulturous Ku-klux office-seekers of
every party are doing us more harm as people
than all the libels ever written. We believe that
every honest man Is safe in Alabama, no matter
what his political opinions are."

RAILROAD WAR AT BLOOMFIELD, MI.
The People Resist the MontcIair Com

Vne Peeple HestsJ the MOntC1atr Com
pany's Encroachments "A Successful
Contest.
A serious affair occurred at Bloomfield, N. j.,
yesterday morning, the entire population turn
ing out at given signal to resist the encroach-
ments of the Montclair Railroad Company.
This company had determined upon building
bridge OF 80 feet span across Broad street, in
that village, little above the old Presbyterian
Church. while the street is at present 66 feet wide.
To this proposition the villagers objected, on the
ground that IL would destroy the beauty of their
thoroughfare. About six weeks since the en-
ployes of the road began the work of tearing up
the plank walks of the street, but the Superin-
tendent of Roads interfered and the work ceased.
1t was understood, however, that the work
had not been wholly abandoned, and the
citizens agreed that, should it be again
renewed the bell Of the Presbyterian Church
should be rung and the citizens alarmed
At 8 o'clock A. M. yesterday the bell peaed
forth, and in half an hour about four hundred
citizens had assembled at the spot where it was
intended to erect the bridge. There they found
all the materials for the erection of the struc-
tHre During the previous night the railroad
company had caused lumber to be taken thither,
as well as a large Derrick which the citizens
found ready for use, and the other tools
necessary for the work. A gang of laborers
were on hand, too guarded by force of special
officers, under the direction of Robert A. Hag-
gerty, the company's special detective But
the people made short work of it, although no
blows were given on either side. As soon as
the laborers succeeded in digging a trench a
dozen of the people would jump In, and defy
the laborers to eject them. Others of the work.
men were kept from their labor by force. Thus
the battle continued, until finally an armistice
was declared, through the efforts of Sheriff
Teed, who was Immediately summoned by the
railroad company The citizens gained the vic
tory for the present, and they seem determined
to maintain their position.
The people declare that the object of the rail-
road company in building bridge of such mar
row span is to retaliate upon them because they
refused to bond the township in favor of the
road. With the exception of slight bruises to
some OF the laborers, no person was injured,
except one of the contractors, Henry G. Spauld-
ing who was accidentally trampled upon by the
excited crowd, and had one of his ribs broken.
He was sitting on a stone, which he declared
should not be removed, when the crowd seized
upon him, knocking him over. MANY regrets
are heard on all sides over this unfortunate ac-
cident. The company had expected to have the
bridge completed by last evening.-M Y.

much worse to-day, and it has been deemed
necessary to summon additional medical aid.

friends by the bedside, 'Why don't Clement
come home? he has been gone so long,"
