Panic Is the order Of the day; first it
was among the Republicans when the
returns came IN, and now all Wall
Street is wondering what VIII can1e
next. Faiiures 10 theamount of eleven
millions occurred yesterday and there
may be more to-day. And the trouble
is a lack # the actual cash. People are
buying and selling a. always, but ready
money can not be had even at high
rates Of interest. What has become of
the cash? A few months ago there
was plenty CO it. Values have not
changed 10 such an extent either, but
money is not 10 be had. The Secre-
taTyns move, some weeks ago, IF buy
ing bonds gave temporary lift to the
Pressure, but did not really affect the
situation. And now the action of the
Clearing House in issuing certificates
on good security will, in all proba-
bility, be quite as Intellectual. Things
are inflated; values, at the moment.
are entirely fictitious; every one is
neryously watching the effect of the
Mckinley bill, and, as that was con-
demned by the recent elections, / think
that even the optimistic Republican Is
beginning 70 mediate. A little severe
reflection will do him good; he will dis
cover that while he has shut out raw
material he has opened his arms to
imported labor. and, worse than that.
he has given all parties an opportun-
ity to increase prices whether the goods
are imported or not.
The Tribune bewailed the Republi-
can defeat in Rhode Island, and at
trihuttd it to the lack Of All able organ
in the State. We have very able
organ In this city anu il strutted aud
cTowed a good deal over the hoped for
defeat of Tammany. Why was it then
that the whole ar Of the able organ
was that Of a man who is tipsy. but
thinks he isn't, on the morning OF the
9Th? The story saith not. Ever since
the election that noble paper has been
pattipg itself and smiling broadly in
the effort 10 get itself adjusted. Of
course, they must have anticipated the
defeat of the Peoples Municipal Lague
in this city. out the wave that passed
over the county was shock.
Tammany had no intention Of giving
VI New York, and evidently the peo-
pie like the benefcent rule of the Wig
wan. The ministers struggled man
fully for 'pure politics." but that is a
com mbination Of words that means moth
| ing 10 the ordinary man. Having
never existed in d state where pure
| politics" were known and practiced,
| the average vater won't talk about
such condition, and the man who
talks won't vote because he feels it to
he a hopeless situation.
We have, al present, notable fight
er and marvellous faster in our midst.
The one is telling tremendous audiences
| how the canUibals eat their victims
and the other is demonstrating 10 an
| awe-strnck public that be can do with
| out food for fartyfive days at time.
H. NJ. Stanley is being dined and
wined at q great pace. He makes III
cdental engagements to lecture aud
the people flock 10 hear him. The
Metropolitan Opera House was crowd
| ea from fioor to dome. He talks and
| makes numerous gestures and coins
| money.
Succi, the Italian who is fasting ID
his rooms over Noster and BiaIs, spends
his time blissfulIy smoking or talking
! to his numerous callers. All sorts and
conditions Of men and women go there
and air their theories. Each one is
convinced that he has an idea which
will exactly explain the wonderful
feat; but tile theory that the Signor
likes best is that of the universal ether.
He claims that the force comes TO him
at odd times and re-enforces him; when
the ether don't come, he has a liquid
of which he takes four ounces III as
many days. Doctors surround the lit
tie man and issue daily bulletins as 10
his health, weight, etc, and he bears
all punching and pounding with the
utmost good nature.
High tariff Legislators ought really TO
buy up all Of Succi's liquid and then
| lay it IN by the hngshead, for if prices
continue To rise the labOTer will have
no money to buy food with when he
has bought bis shirt and the beuevo-
| lent Republican can then deal out tie
| life sustaining liquid. ELLIS.
