Suddenly, as by some Jekyll and
Hyde transformation, this hero
stands revealed as the destroyer OF
home, the betrayer of a friend
the committer of a crime darker
than blackneSs.
1t matters not what the decision
of his followers NAV be- Parnell has
fallen. He is "a lost leader" indeed.
The people who have trusted him
can trust him no longer, since the
breach of trust of which he stands
confessed is the grossest of which man
is capable. 1t may be that personal
purity and high moral living are not
to be insisted on in the men we exalt
to high places, but when they are no
longer considered requisite for high
honors and leadership, may God
help the people that Scorns them.
Senator Hoar's manifesto to the
republicans of Massachusetts is
weak document, unworthy of the
able statesman who wrote it. Its
appeal to precedent and its failure to
recognize anything as involved in the
recent elections are unfortunate for
his party. 1t is for such men as
Senator Hoar, men of principle and
patriotism, to snatch from petty
politicians the direction of the repub-
lican party and redeem its great
reputation, making it equal to the
demands of the hour by recognizing
it's shortcomings and striving firmly
to correct them. An apologize
tone is best neither for the party nor
for the nation.

that the disbursement Of the United states
Treasury for interest and redemption OF bonds,

the supply at the low rates had been SUD

or manipulation. The warrant for the sugges-
tion of manipulation is that the slowness with
which the owners of the ~ per cent bonds
avail themselves of the offer OF the Secretary
OF the Treasury to redeem them at par and full
interest up to July l, 1881, shows that the
owners of the bonds do not care anything
about the high rates for call loans. The hold

by holding them to maturity. On the contrary,

THE HEAVY DEMAND
For Manufactured Iron Products
Keeps Up the Prices, but
RAW MATERIALS ARE DECLINING.
The Lethargic Condition of the Pig Iron
Market Continues.
TRADE SITUATION on THE OTHER SIDE

rsPEcIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.l
NEW YORK, September 12.-The Iron
Age of this date prints the following on the
American metal markets. While manu-
factured iron in all its branches is steady
under an unprecedented demand, weaken
ing tendency is developing in raw ma
terials.
American Pig-The market continues
very quiet. Consumers appear 10 incline to
the opinion that they have nothing to lose
and possibly something to gain by waiting.
They point particularly to the fact that the
next few months will bring into the market
as sellers number of new Virginia plants,
who can only gain toothold by cutting. We
continue to quote S17@lS for No. l, and Sl69
l6 so for No. foundry, good Northern brands
while Southern irons are selling at SlT@T %
for No. ], Sl6Gl6 25 for No. 2 and sl4 75@l5 25
for No. g.
Southern carwheel iron is quoted $40 5092l
for Nos. 5. 4 and s. and Sl9 5OG20 for Nos. l and
2 delivered.
Spiegeilsen and ferro manganese-There has
been no business of any consequence, and we
continue to quote nominally SS0@S0 so for Ger
man 20 per cent spiegeleisen, and S70@7l for
1erro. forward delivery.
Wire rods-There is fair demand, but the
market is quiet. We quote foreign rods, buy
ers taking risk of duty, S4S 50@44 for No. G.
B1.lets-Importers are asking more money,
but are doing very little, small sales of small
sizes of bilets having been made at $50 so, buy
er taking risk of duty.
Steel rails-The market is in 4 peculiar posi-
tion. Unusual secrecy is observed by sellers as
to the negotiations which they are carrying on,
or the sales which they have made. This has
given rise to many rumors all of them in the
direction of announcing exceptionally low
prices. As 1t is now everybody seems to be at
sea as to the prices which it Is safe to name to
secure business. For early delivery, mod
crate lots, we quote $50 50G3l.
Manufactured iron and steel-Among the
sales made during the week is one lot of go
tons of girders. We note also that the new
Astur Hotel contract has been practically
closed.
Old rails-A sale is reported of 500 tons of
rs at Se5 %, and some sellers claim that SIS 80
Is now a close price. Old double-heads have
been offered at S26 A lot of 600 tons of old

MORE DEMAND FOR COKE.

The Shortage of Cars, However, Causes nu
Accommodation of stock on Hand-volume
ofBu.ine.s slightly Lnrger-An Operator
on the Outlook.
,sprcyhL TELEGRAM TO THH DIsPATcH.i
ScorTDALE, September 1.-THE coke mar
ket still shows some unsteadiness. The demand
is of large proportions. but the seriously dis
turbing element is the deficient car supply in
which not the slightest improvement is noted
since last report. Production is just about
keeping pace with the demand, but the coke
continues to accumulate rapidly on the yards
The business transacted in the region last
week was slightly in excess of the previous
week. The operators are not very much en-
couraged at the present situation, if the senti-
ments of leading operator can be taken as
any indication. He expressed himself thus:
IAN operators life is not what it seems to be.
To-day you: are happy and hopeful and on the
morrow your hopes are blighted. At present
we are battling with what seems an fnsur-
mountable obstacle in the shortage of coke
cars. There is a remarkable demand for coke
and of course the call for cars is materially
greater. The railroad cannot meet the extens-
i've demand and there the matter terminates.
These car famnes are getting too numerous
and something should be done to prevent
them"
Western furnace consumers are perhaps the
greatest sufferers, as many Of them will be COM
PEELED to suspend operations purely through
the failure of coke to reach them if the condition
of transportation is not soon radically changed.
In the Eastern and Pitssburg districts, the
furnace men obtain fair supply. The works
are still running four, tve and six days per
week. The Frick and Schoonamaker plants
are operating five and six days. while the Nc
Clure Cambria and a few other companies are
making six davs. The idle ovens are increasing
