BT0adbTim'S New York Letter

ndn-lllefe is no uOuOJ ABOUT MS nom
esty; men would sooner carry his prom
ises to pay in their pockets, than the
gold pieces with which they are to be
paid. His bonds, paying the lowest
rate of interest known to civilized f.
nance, command higher premium than
gold, wherever money passes current
among men. His bond is taken without
questioE-not houses, nor lands, nor
merchandise, rate equal to it; and all
this because Uncle Sam is just what he
ought to be, like his grand uncle, John
Bull, an honest man. Now, mark the
difference! If a government bond Of one
hundred dollars, paying three per cent,
commands a premium, an eight per
cent. bond ought to be worth nearly
three hundred; and six per cent. bond,
worth at least two hundred. The West
ern Union Telegraph is the most gigan-
tic monopoly in the United States; its
Briarean arms encompass all the land
yet Western Union paying six per cent.
is selling to-day at 70. There is very
little doubt about the six per cent. divi-
dends, but there is sense of insecurity
and doubt that lie behind it all that the
managers are not honest; and tempting
as the bait is, it will require some man
ipulation to force it up to par 1t is
now near the point to which it was
forced by Jay Gould in 1882, but after
getting it to that point they added forty
millions of water-and this was divided
among the plunderers--so that even
from financial standpoint, a good
character and an honest name is worth
something; for the United States can
get 800 for one half the rate of interest
that Jay Gould and the Western Union
pay for seventy.
The sullen roar that for months has
rumbled, like distant thunder, has at
last broken beyond control, and the
Democracy of Brooklyn are in open re-
bellion. 1t is we'll known that without
the superhuman effort made by Kings
County, Mr.. Cleveland could not have
been elected. If it had not been for
their exceptional aid, he might still
have been Governor of New York, or
perhaps Mayor of Buffalo. Kings
County made him Governor: Kings
County sealed his nomination at Chca-
go, and finally in the supreme struggle
for the Presidency. she rolled I'm thnt
great majority that gave Mr.. Cleveland
the coveted prize. New York County
had been derelict, and if Kings County
had done 10 better than New Yorl; did
Mr. Blaine would have been President
of the United States. ITndar those cir.
cumstances-tbe Democrats of KINGS
County feIt they had very stroro claims
on the Administration 6ut their cI,ime
have been ignored. and their homes oi
official nreGermcnt have haon fisoT'
pointed. Civil service reform stands
like a lion in the notb and Ihe com.
