Jim Kcene In q New Role.

New YORK; Sept. 4.-The World
this morning says: There was a etory
down in Wall street yesterday. IL The
effect that J. r. Keene was operating
very largely in the market and chiefly
in the interest OF the Havemeyers anu
the people identified with the Sugar
Trust. The story Was that Keene had
met Donner through their mutual
interest in horse racing and the result
was that Keene had been engaged to
engineer various deals on the street
a fleeing Sugar Trust certificates. Don
ner holds some prominent position iu
connection with the Sugar Trust peo-
pie, but exactly what it is about as
much mystery as everything else
concerning that organization, but it is
extremely interesting from the fact
that the salary attached to il is said to
be 100000 year. Before the trust
was formed Donner was the head and
front of The Bonner d Decastro Refiu-
ing Company, whose factory was los
Gated in Brooklyn, just above the
Havemeyer place. One of the results
o! the organization was the closing up
of this immense factory, and of course
DonDel's great salary ps probably re-

proceeding.
Nearly everybody down in Wall
street is talking very buIlish about
Sugar Trust certificates, aud an extra
dividend of q per cent is announced
for speedy payment, but people who
declare their Information TO be good,
say TINT l<eene is leading movement
| in Sugar Trust certificates similar to
the one engineered by him some time
ago with respect to Lead Trust certi-
| ticates, when he first hoisted quotations
and then lowered them, aud made
money both ways. Keene, operates
! through The Office of s. w. Boocock
& Co., situsted in the building at No.
. Broad street, and oscillates between
the broder's office and j. s. Moore's
room on the third floor. Keene owes
something like 81, 600, 900 on the street,
and naturally, when rumors concern
ing bis making money are circulated,
his creditors become Immediately and
very eagerly interested. Thoss who
claim to know of DIR. Keene's counec-
ton with the speculation in Sugar
Trnsts declare that all the bull talk is
nonsense, aud that ii is the purpose Of
the insiders to drop quotations within
two days and shake out a number of
| weak holders.

proaca TO a social privilege TO the col
ored political leader, Tom Gage, presi-
dent Of the convention which selected
the Republican candidate fer Congress.
In so far as these three points are
concerned, Mr.. Miacr acted as if his
former Democratic principles bad reas-
serted their superiority over his young
err Republican faith, and "a if It's were
Democrat among Democrats. This
manly ard dignitied attitude, in one
sense, was, in another, too extreme
aud unloading from the lowsr stand
point of party politics, and il certainly

v;Gua! mistake Of the Republican csn-
didste. II was remarkable piece OF

BETTER PRICES FOR COTTON.
stops Taken by tho Planters to Force
an Advance.

Mr.. Editor: =
Please publish the enclosed resoiu-
ton adopted at Atlanta for the benefit
of your readers, who raise cotton. The
cotton planter ought to, aud can, regu-
late the price OF cotton. The world
can't get along without the cotton Of
the Southern States. This was proved
during the late civil war, when cotton
SOLD for more than one dollar per
pound.
To permit the spectators, aud gam
blers and those who want the cotton,
to fix the price thereof, before it is
planted even, is slur upon their in
telligepce aud independence OF the
planters.
The cotton committee of the Farmers
Alliance has taken a step in the right
direction at last. Let us support them.

Times Democrat We publish in
another column letter from a corres-
pendent who heard our late visitor,
Mr.. J. G. Burrows, OF Michigan, utter
the sentiment In speech al one of the
great Gettysburg celebrations that the
dead Of the gallant Confederate soldiers
who made that immortal charge against
Haucock's forces "Are to be remembered
only to be despised." For pitilui bit
terness aud malignity we doubt If there
was ever the equal Of this sentiment
aud sentence. Yet It was made eigh.
teen years after the famous battle had
been fought aud sixteen years after
peace had been restored to the coup-
try. A man who could cherish such
sentiments as that, unshsred by sim
gle Union soldier who valiantly defen-
ded those heights ON Cemetery Ridge,
Is not q at judge OF the politics and
motives Of other men. He is apparent.
~ biased by sectional hatred, aud in-
capable Of judging right from wrong.
IL he saw any good in the South he
would be hardly willing TO believe his
eyes. Very evidently he refused here
to SEQ the good side OF our third dis
trtct politics, which is the Democratic
aide.

1t needs no prophet TO foreteil that
the effort President Harrison is max.
ing to "break the solid South" must
ipgioriously fail. Republicans may
say what they please of Rutherford
b. Hayes, but his policy did more in
that direction than any other Republi-
can President has accomplished. II
postponed for four years longer the
election of Democratic President. II
he had sought to irritate the Southern
people as President Harrison is doing,
Gen. Hancock would have gained votes
in both sections in 1SS0-perhaps
enough TO have made his election sure.

Burrows Denounced.

The interview with Congressman

called for outrage by citizens generally
who read it. Mr.. BGrroWs came down
South claiming that ne was not IA spy,
and stating that his purpose was to
speak to the good people of louisiana
on the tariff question. He was most
courteous!y received by Democrats and

of the Republican party.

| cratic meetings aud confining himself,
in spite Of the statement to the writer
and other neWspapermen to the Rep
ublican gatherings exclusively. Now,
returning 10 the city, he sets out to
abuse the people Of the State, because
they do not belong to the Republican
party and denuuHces the elections as

Of his broad assertions Of fraud and dis
honest Democrats contend is the fact
that he made them here III The city
