The Rogers family do not propose to have
Mr.. Garland sell or give away his telephone
stock. They have served notice upon the Pan
Electric cOrporators, interdicting them from
issuing the stock claimed by him to "any char
ity, innocent purchaser or any person whom
sOever" and insisting that he and they shall
carry out the engagements made with the own
ers of the patents. Was there ever a public
man in 50 humiliating position as poor Car
land7 After months of reflection he has finally
been forced to admit that there is something IN
mis- simultaneous connection with the speculat =
ors and with the Department of Justice that is
worthy of serious thought, But the moment
there are intimations that he intends to put
away the stock, the Rogers family intervene
with threats of leg ii proceedings, enjoinlng all
nonsense of thit sort. What with General
Johnston condemning sales of stock as danger
ous, and admitting that all concerned in them
may be considered swIndlers by the public, and
with the Rogers family insisting chat the stock
must be kept in the hands where they placed

FTGITjVES At LAKEWOOD.

The coy retreat of the bashful and blushing
Billy MolOney has been discovered. William
has been found among the whispering pines OF
Lakewood, New-Jersey, pouring into John
keenan's ample auditorium the melliinOus ac-
cents that 50 often ravshcd the ears of the as
sembled Aldermen in the City Hall. Mr.. Kee-
nan has been Justly styled 81 the Bismarck > of
the County Democracy. This title he has
chiefly earned by his brilliant successes in con-
solidating interests for his own benefit. 1t is
not German unity that he has had in mind, but
Keenan's unity, and if he has not done much
for Fatherand he has done a great deal for
Kecnan's pocketbook. He is the typical strate-
gist of the County Democracy, cold, keen, cal
culating always with an eye to the main
chance He may not be man of blood and
iron, but he wins victories no less renowned
than those of war. Unless he is much maigned
he has done more than any politician i'll public
life for the stimulus of the circulating medium
IN this town No, be is not man of iron say
rather man of bank bills.
Mr.. Keenan, is generally believed to be the
Bismarck of Broadway as well as of the County
Democracy, Jacob Sharp's big bills representing
the French indemnity fund. In that case we
presume Billy" Moloncy must be considered
the Won MoltKe of the extraordinary campaign
of 1854. No doubt II is To fight their battles
over again that MOlOncy and Keenan, spend
days IN conference at Lakewood, while the
Senate Committee ia2e and the people OF New
York imagine all sorts OF things about them.
Sly dog that "Dick" Newcombc, MOlOncy's
counsel Here he has been promising TO pro-
duce Billy at almost every session of the Sen
( VI, U-hil, a have known all
the time hat imperative engagements with
Bismarck Keenan, would make it impossible
for Won Mollke Mnloney to leave Lakewood.
Keenan, has a conscientious physician who GER
titles that the County Dcmocracy's Chancellor is
too sick 10 come To the city. But it seems that
he is not too sick to walk about and talk with his
trusted friends and associates. We think 1t not
unlikely that if Nj. Keenan, were to sit few days
under examination by the Senate Committees
counsel he would be a great deal sicker than
he is now, even if Mr. Sharp should lend HIM
his milk bottle to cheer him up.
And Alderman De Lacy, too! Did his health
make visit 10 Lakewood indispcnsablef 7 Or
did he want to talk over the campaign of 1881
with his superior oflccrsY War "reminiscences
from De Lacy are now IN order.
Some testimony was given before the Senate
Committee yesterday about the large sums paid
out IN bills by the Broadway Bank. Not unin-
teresring evidence, but not startling after the
testimony of Jacob Sharp ana james w.
Foshay But the picture drawn at yesterdays
session of the old campaigners swOpping stories
at Lakewood is one of the most artistic
achievements of the investigation and IT will not
soon be forgotten.

The effort to raise the price of meat In this
city by discrimination against Chi;agO in rail-
way rates on beef dressed out there, will not
be permitted to succeed without opposition
The Chicago people will contest the matter in
the courts, and they ought to be able to make
out strong case of unjust discrimination
against the railway companies. But it may
not be so easy to sustain the charge of con-
spiracy between the railway people and the
stock yards in this city. The Chicago people,
however, will probably not be alone in the
struggle against higher rates. The matter
comes properly within the jurisdiction of the
State Railroad Commissioners. Mr.. O'Donnell
will see possibly that New Workers, especially
the poorer classes, do not want higher prices for
meat.
