MIR. TiLTON AGAIN.
why Don't the Fool Make His
Charge!

NEW YORK, July The Golden Age has
the following editorial relative to the Beecher-
Tilton affair: The policy. of silence" Ply
mouth church has adopted policy of silence.
1t has seen the cunning tissue of misrepre en-
tation and insinuaton woven for the injury of
one man and the protection of apother, swept
away at single blow, leaving its artiiice ex-
posed to the naked eye; yet in the face of
demand for explanation, it holds its place. 1t
sees the character of one whose good name it is
bound to defend from every aspersion brought
under grave and terrible suspicion and while
millions in an agony of sympathy for him. en-
treat it to open its lips and speak one assuring
word, it Iersistently holds its tongue. The fact
speaks in trumpet toAes. The American peo-
Pile ask for one word in behalf of man they
revered and loved more than any other, one
single syllable of assurance from lips that have
moved millions and have witchery of persua-
siveness possessed by no other on earth, would
have satisfied them. There was splendid oc-
cason and there stood the man TO fill it with a
voice which would have gone like England's
drum beat around the world, They listened ia
death like stiffness and were treated to a 81
lence that was almost audible. The fact admits
of only one construction, and whoever thinks,
draw the inevitable conclusion there is sill
ence more oppressive and ominous than that of
DEATH The American people DOW know what
that silence is.

There is very firm feeling for all desirable kinds
OF Wool including Western eeces. good lines OF SUI
per and pulled, Spring California, and combug and
delaine fieeces. The feeling is gaining ground that
we are not likely to any lower prices at present.
Wooden goods are still comparatively low so far as
prices are concerned, but goods are moving more
freely than for some time past and the prospects Of
the manufacturing business is more encouraging.-
The fact that large portion of the Western clip has
been bought up early in the season, good por-
ton of it by manufacturers, whose buyers were
to be found in all sections of the West, a-o tends 70
strengthen the market, prices are still relatively
higher in the interior than on the seaboard
FL New York the market remains in about the
same condition previously reported. Stocks of
all kinds light and prices continue quite steady.
In Philadelphia the receipts of new clip continue
to increase but large portion of that coming tor
ward is unwashed, which meets steady demand at
OUR quotations. The stock of old eeces is nearly ex-
