Conkling and Blaine.

Just as Mr. Conkling has retired from
the Senate, read what Mr.. Blaine said
about him in discussion in the House
Of Representatives In 1868, and you win
understand why he dstests Mr. Garhelds
Premier. Mr.. Blaine said:
CAS- to the gentleman's cruel sarcasm,
hope he will not be too severe. The
contempt of that large-minded gentleman
is so whiting; his naughty disdain, his
grandiloquent swell, his majestic super
eminent, overpowering, turkey gobbleT
strut. has been so crushing to myself and
all the members of this House that know
it was an act of the greatest temerity for
me to venture upon controversy Will
him. But, sir, / know who is response
BILE for all this / know that within the
last five weeks, as members of the House
will recollect, an extra strut has charac-
terIzed the gentleman's bearing. 1t
is not his fault. 1t is the fault of an.
other. That gifted and satirical writer,
Theodore Tilton, of the New York Inde-
pendent, spent some weeks recently in
this city. His letters, published in that
paper, embraced, with many serious
statements, little jocose satire, a part
of which was the statement that the
mantle of the late Winter Davis had
fallen upon the member from New York.
The gentleman took it seriously, and it
has given his strut an additional pom
posity. The resemblance is great. 1t is
striking. Hyperion to Satyr, Thersites
to Hercules, mud to marble, dunghill to
diamond, singed cat TO Bengal tiger,
whining puppy to roaring lion.
Shade of the mighty Davis forgive the
almost proclamation of that jocose satire. u

Don't Croak.
Ne,c York Banker and Broker

The evidences of the prevailing pros
perity throughout the country are daily
accumulating. The last indication
comes from Washington in the shape of
dispatches to the effect that holders of
the five per cent. bonds are telegraphing
from every point to have their bonds
continued at 81 per cent The history
of the extension of the six per cents is
being repeated, and the apparent anon
ally is presented of creditors voluntarily
and with eagfrness reducing their in
come from II to 24 per cent. The
anomaly is easily explained, however
in the fact that the boldholders are
aware that they cannot secure a
better rate of interest. For the present
there is more money in the country than
there is place to put it. There are more
lenders than borrowers; nearly everyone
wants to lend, and very few want to
borrow. The prevailing rate of interest
is correct barometer of the condition
Of country -when it goes down, every
thing else goes up, when it goes up,
everything else is going down. The
new 81 per cent. bonds are
now selling at premium of
24 per cent, and are IN good
demand at that figure Can any
thing show more plainly that the pros
perity of this country is real |? But this
is only one of the many things upon
which we pin our faith. For the first
week in May the clearing house ex-
changes all over the country. as shown
by the Public aggregated 81 1857, $50. 34S.
against 81 ,045, 1917 800 for the same time
IN 1880. an increase of over 40 per cent.
These figures probably are the largest ever
recorded, and our contemporary truly says
that it is not possible for any man,
who does not deliberately shut his
eyes to all information, to believe that
the volume of business now being trans
acted is smaller than usual for the season.
The fact is that the volume of business
has never been as large as now; it is %
per cent. larger this season than for any
other similar one. The earnings of
the railroads since January 1 are
nearly 100000 greater than for the
same time last year, Notwithstanding that
the aggregate losses on account of floods,
storms, ETC., are fully 100000 These
are business facts that exis independent
of all speculation, and they are incon-
sistent with the theory that initiation and
gambling rules the day, the near approach
of which is to be widespread ruin.
There may be time to "croak," but the
time is not now.

secretarr Yindom, Financial TaetiOs.


Secretary Window is entitled to credit
for having SO constructed his plan for
the refunding of the i've per cents that
the responses have commenced with a
regular boom" he has reserved S75,-
600, 900 for redemption, but specifies no
particular bonds, and says the redemp
ton will commence with such bonds as
are not forwarded for continuance at
81 per cent. Besides this, the BIS, when
redeemed at some indefinite date in the
future, will be redeemed in reverse order
of their presentation now for continu-
ance-that is the bonds first received
for continuance will stand last on the
list for redemption. The Secretary,
therefore, has several agencies at work
in support of his scheme, viz, the
proffer of an unnecessary one-half of
one per cent, the reservation of an I'M
specified $75,OO0,OOO for redemption,
the reversal of the order of presentation
in arranging the list for ultimate re-
demption, and the anxiety of the banks
to obtain 81 instead of probable 3 per
cent. upon their deposits of bonds for
security of note circulation. The scheme
is skillfully devised in the interests of the
administration, the banks and the bond
holders.

The Boston Herald independently ad-
vances three objections to Secretary
WINDOWS programme for refunding the
5 per cents, as follows "In the first
place, Mr.. Window has not shadow of
authority in law for extending the per
cent. loan at 81 per cent. secondly, his
call for the coupon per cents is drawn
in direct contravention of the redemp-
ton provisions of the act of July IA,
1870, under which the funded loan was
Issued; lastly, the privilege of continu-
ance at 81 per cent, which he tenders
gratis to the owners of 1870, 900, 900
bonds, is worth, at this writing, a
premium of per cent. In other words,
the Secretary of the Treasury has thrown
away s., 400 900.

SOME NAVAL EXPENSES. There is a
vessel on the stocks in the Charlestown
Mass navy yard, whose keel was laid
in the year 1918. For sixty-three years
she has been there and her cost to the
government exceeds a million dollars.
Through successive administrations the
old hulk has received occasional atten-
tons, but she is not finished yet and
never will be- The Louisville Courier
Journal considers that it would seem
eminently proper to order her to be torn
up and sold as old lumber, but the Navy
Department seems to have an idolatrous
regard for her, and unless some incen-
diary applies the torch, she may be
standing on her blocks when the TWEEN
tieth century dawns upon the country.

Entertaining Mrs. Jackson and
Daughter.

The wife and daughter of Gen. Stone
wall jackson, who have been the guests
for the past two weeks at the st. Charles
Hotel, New Orleans, of the Louisiana
division of the Confederate Army of
Northern Virginia, have been the receipt
ents of marked attention from the people
of the Crescent City. Their rooms at the
st. Charles have been daily thIonged
during their hours for receiving, whilst
formal receptions were rendered them by
several societies and number of leading
citizens. Friday last the Stonewall Gren-
adiers marched to the ST. Charles Hotel
for the purpose of making presentation
to Mrs. and Miss jackson in the parlor of
the hotel. Line being formed, Rev. DR..
Markham, on behalf Of the company,
presented to Mrs. Jackson handsome
bouquet of flowers, and to Miss Jackson
a guidon of silk and satin. Upon one
side were inscribed several verses of
Mrs. Townsend's poem read at the un.
yelling of the Jackson monument; the
other side bore an admirable representa-
ton of the monument and the words,
"The Stonewall Grenadiers to Miss Julia
Jackson" Mr.. Alfred Goldthwaite, on
behalf of the ladies, eloquently expressed
their thanks. The company then broke
ranks and the members were introduced
to Mrs. and Miss jackson.

Remarks are being offered upon the
fact that Secretary Window issued his re-
funding circular last week Immediately
on his return from a visit to New York
city, the inference being that, as with the
case of the per cents, he went there to
receive the commands of certain clique
# financiers. The Rochester Union
DEM says the effect of his visit
is seen in the issuance of a cir
cular for the refunding of the five
per cents at the same rate at which the
sixes have been refunded-34 per cent
r ! per cent. more than the last Congress
declared should be the rate, and more
han the money market makes necessary.
There will be reckoning with Window
and the money changers who are running
the Treasury of the United States through
him to force the people to pay ] pei
cent. more interest on the many millions
If the public debt in a position to be re-
funded than the money market renders
necessary"

The Motive Of Coakling,s Opposition

The Motive of COakling's Opposition
to Judge RObertsOn's Conflrma-
ton.
Editor Morning. Meas IF Mr. Conk-
ling was honest in his resignation from
the United States Senate, he cannot now
(after Wednesdays proceedings in that
body accept a reelection with dignity
or honor to himself. If he was not
honest, the Legislature of New York
should retire him, as he will sit there
hereafter only as huge joke. or by word.
The opposition to Robertson was, &C
cording to my light. bold move in the
gameof third terms, which is still. on the
board, and Conkling's last venture was a
desperate hazard to secure New York,
without which State no one, it is gen
orally thought, can be elected President.
Grants tenacity of purpose is that of a
bull dogs hold to his antagonist, and he
will grapple with the idea of being again
President until death shall extinguiSh
MS energy OF CHARACTER.
The fight over Robertson was not a
mere vulgar squabble for the spoil of
office, but looked beyond it to the ma.
tional contest for the Presidency in 1884.
Both Grant and Conkling are too long
headed to make the Collectorship of the
city of New York their objective point.
But it is an influential pivot in their
play. Garfield's persistent course in
meeting their game" was not anticipa-
ted. Hence Conkling's 'bluff, " and we
hope, entire defeat; which, however, is
not yet decided, the stake being New
York's thirty odd votes in the Electoral
College in 1884, waiting on the action of
her Legislature now in session. Will it
be for Conkling or the Constitution?
The ultimate object of Grant and
Conkling being the subversion of Demo
cratic-Republican principles, and the
substitution therefor of the Hamiltonian
theory of a concentrated Federal Gov
ernment, controlled by privileged aris-
cratic influences, National Democrats
should uphold the Constitution against
them for the preservation of liberty and
the general welfare, by supporting the
President Of the United States when in
the right, without regard to party lines.

spoke Of the admitted bargain that Conk-

for his support of Garfield, and asked
what would have been Garfeld's chance
of success in New York State if that
bargain had been known. He deplored

still "shOuting the Battle-Cry Of

On the 18th inst, statue of Stone
wall jackson was unveiled at New Or
leans, with the usual customs. including
the inevitable speech. In this instance
the speech was made by Mr.. Jefferson
Davis. Mr.. Davis did as any other man
would have done on such an occasion
he spoke plainly what was in his heart.
His utterances were what the average
Northerner of to-day feels 'impelled to
call treason" He said very plainly that
the Confederate cause was just and de-
served success. AS might have been ex-
pected, this has caused q howl over
the North, and some of the SUPERFICIAL
editors, whose patriotism probably never
blossomed till after the war, have begun
again the LOYAL task of shouting the
battle cry of freedom" They call upon
Mr.. Davis to be thankful that the "'re-
public contemptuOusly let him alone
when he stood with his neck in the hal
ter" 1t might be well enough for those
gentry to remember that Mr. Davis neck
was never in any DANGEROUS proximity
to a halter. Whatever the bellige.
rent editors of the country might have
thought at the time, the government
was not anxious to try Mr.. Davis.
1t was not possible to prove him a
traitor. The then Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States,
Salmon P. Chase, had, in former times,
when Governor of Ohio. been believer
in the doctrine of secession. We doubt
if anything would give Mr.. Davis more
pleasure now than trial for treason. 1t
is a common thing for the North to
pirate of its magnanimity in not hanging
Mr.. Davis, when in reality the true
cause was the fear lest his cause should
be proven just before the courts.
1t may or may not be prudent, but
it is the truth that all the Southern peo-
pie, with very few possible exceptions,
believe that the Confederate cause was
just. They all know 1t was lost, and
lost irretrievably; they have no idea of
ever renewing the contest; but they are
as firmly convinced of its justice as they
are of their own existence. They will
never humiliate themselves and bring a
reproach upon their dead, by calling
their war a rebellion and themselves
traitors. They are convinced, by the
stern logic of events-from which there
is no appeal-that their cause is lost; but
they will go down to their graves believ-

A Lady Lawyers RafArt
San ,Lose Merctnn.

Judge Tyler. of San Francisco, is well
known to the bar of that city as a most
formidable opponent, both forensicallv
and physically, as many ''learned coun.
sci" upon the other side has found out to
his sorrow.
The Judge, who is so used to domi-
mating his brethren of the bar, recently
met his match in the lady lawyer of San
Francisco, Clara s. Foltz, who clipped
his wind in manner that well nigh
suffocated him. The story is too good to
be lost
The case of Tyler VS.. the Hibernia
Savings Bank was pending before one
of the City Courts, involving the right
to certain deposit of funds in said
bank. Tyler was his own attorney, and
Mrs. Foltz was attorney for the bank.
1t seems that Tyler, by little bit of
sharp practice, was trying to ring in a
''cold deck" in the shape Of +. default
that had been enormously dated, the adj
mission of which by the Judge upon the
bench would have sent the defendant
out of court. Mrs. Foltz showed I'D the
matter satisfactorily to the court and the
default was promptly set aside. This
nettled Judge Tyler considerably, and
turning to the lady counsel he said
sharply, in manner intended to be In
tensely impressive, that counsel had
better be engaged in other business, u
that "a wOman's place was at home rails.
! ing her children.
The words were scarcely uttered be.
fore Mrs. Foltz rose in her queenly wav.
and flashing her blue eyes straight into
the Judges ford face, she quietly re-
marked: "a woman had better be en-.
gagged in almost any business than in
raising such men as you are, SIR"
The court commanded order, but in a
tone that seemed to appreciate the jus.
tice OF the retort, while a number of
lawyers in court, some of whose heads
Judge Tyler has held in "chancery" on
former occasions, came near exploding
with suppressed laughter.
The counsel turned white with anger
and groaned in spirit, but concluded
that it was better to drop the subject
then and there.
