Great confusion and excitement prevailed
in New York on Wednesday, the recent bust
ness troubles eliminating in fresh disasters
which involved the Metropolitan national
bank and several prominent firms Of brokers.
All sorts of wild rumors prevailed, and for a
time it seemed as if the scenes of Black Fri
day we're to be repeated There was a sharp
tumble in all securities, which continued IN
til the clearing house came IN the support of
threatened banks and sverted further de-
cline. It is alleged that the recent president
of the Second National bank of New York
has Incorporated 81 900, 600 of the bank s
funds, but the deficiency las been made good
by the father of the accused man and by the
directors. The troubles are attributed to the
enormous shrinkage of values and the craze
for gambling in Wall street

The Senate has unanimously and without
debate passed Senator Edmunds's bill placing
Gen. Grant upon the retired list. The Dem
ocrats are as enthusiastic upon this subject as
the Republicans, and it is thought that the
opposition which has been manifested in the
House will, under the circumstances, be re-
moved. The bill, if enacted, will give Gen.
Grant about S19, 900 annually, which with
the income from the New York fund Of $3.50
600 will certainly place the old hero beyond
the reach Of want.

The woman suffrage question is attracting
unusual attention in England just now, and
the Pail Mall Gazette says that there if no
blinking the fact that it is becoming a ques-

found q new argument in the phrase 'eaps-
BILE citizens" which Mr.. Gladstone recently
employed in advocating his measure to ez-
tend the franchise among men, and there is
much curiosity to see how the premier will

From the completeness with which the Gree

ton. 1t is now almost three years since Lieu

landed at Lady Franklin Bay. No trustwor-

the state of New York is to be the battle

can party can do no better than to nominate
Senator Edmunds for the Presidency. The
fear in which he is held by the Democratic
party is clearly shown by the venom with
which the newspapers o. that party are as
sailing him. Senator Edmunds is proof
against newspaper attacks, whether made by
Republican or Democratic papers. We do

The pope has issued bull against Freema-
sonry. Among the dangerous doctrines
which he charges the Freemasons with pro-
mitigating are these "That men have all the
same rights, and are perfectly equal in con-
dition that every man is naturally independ-
ent that no man has right to command
others that it is tyranny to keep men sub
ject to any other authority than that which en-
anates from themselves. He associates those
ideas of a human equality and freedom which
are the commonplaces of our American
speech with the grossest offences against NOR
atty and society, and denounces all with
equal vigor Either Freemasonry in Italy is q
very different thing from what it is in Ameri-
ca, or Pope Leo has bean curiously misin-
formed as to its attitude and objects.

Old Veteran Democrats.

ALBANY, Nov. l2.-Several applica-
tons for pardons and other documents
pertaining to the governors office, oc-
cupied the attention of President elect
Cleveland yesterday. He reached his
office promptly at O'clock, and with
brief intermission for lunch, remained
their until o'clock. If the governor re-
garded this as an important day in his
political history, his actions failed
to show it. Col. Lamont, his private
secretary, was busy with the receipt of
official returns from the several counties,
but the governor paid no attention to
them, and when not engaged III official
business cordially met and shook hands
with his numerous visitors. 1t was Il
common occurrence yesterday for his
visitors to say, as they shook his hand:
You will be the next president of the
United States" To most of these wise
remarks the governor simply returned
u pleasant smile, but when one euthusi-
astic old gentleman, after making the
above announcement, continued persist
enty to press for n response, the gov
ernor said, with an inimitable drawl:
"wELL, GUESS THAT'S So"
Everybody who sees and converses
with Gov. Cleveland is impI essed with
his resemblance in manner of speech,
in modesty and in persistent good
humor to Abraham Lincoln. "Mark my
prediction" said visitor "a he retired
from the executive Office, "Gov. Cleve-
land will be the peoples president and
will be the most popular occupant Of
the White House that house has had
since the days of Abe Lincoln
"rhere is one thing that impresses
mo strongly" said the governor in con-
versation with your correspondent yes
terday afternoon, "and that is the
number of old men who have
called to pay their respects
within the last few days. Bless my
soul, they are the most enthusiastic and
determined old veterans | have ever
seen. There hope have been l don't
know how many, p9triarchal, gray
bearded follows who have limped in
here to tell me that they would gladly
fight rather than see any more Republic
can frauds triumphant" aud the COVER
nor laughed merrily at the recollection
of his visitors.
"And what did you say to them, gov
ernor?"
sob, / told them that guessed thered
be no occasion for fighting, but the sin
csrity and earnestness of these old
fathers of Democracy, the northern
Democracy, impressed mo more than |
can tell Here are men who have been
voting the Democratic ticket from mid
die age until their feet are on the brink
of the grave without q single victory,
and they have never once, apparently,
become respondent, and are just as en-
thusiastic to-day as the youngest voters.
I've been glad to meet them. 1t has
done me good"
AMONG THE CALLERS
yesterday afternoon were Mr.. and Mrs.
Potter Palmer, of Chicago. The gov
ernor entertained one or two intimate
friends at dinner last evening, and has
been occupied since dinner in receiving
the official count from the various coun-
ties of the state.-[ Post-Dispatch.
