The Recent RaiIro.d Deal.

The Recent Railroad Deal.
 BRIDGEPORT, June 16.-A feeling of dis
 quietude exists among the clerical force
 employed in the Housatonic offices in this
 city. That the offices will be removed to
 the headquarters in New Haven is taken
 for granted. That this centralization of
 work will mean the dismissal of ouite q
 number Of those now lsboring for the Housstonic is also assumed to be CAT
 tainty. Who will get the bounce is the sb-
 sorbing question. MT. Platt, who WAS
 made general manager of the Housatonic yesterday, is general superintendent of the Consolidated under General Manager Tut tie. There will doubtless be a general su- Perintendent of the Housatonic system un- der the new administration, and it is quite likely that w. K. Lyon, the present eff eient superintendent of the main line, will be appointed to the vacancy. This has not, of course, been settled, but in the general shake-up that must inevitably oc- cur it is believed that Mir. Lyon will be retained if he wishes to continue in his present place with perhaps enlarged power.
 Said prominent man to Farmer cor respondent:
 It Is not necessary to go into all the | details of this matter, but the outcome of | the struggle is what every one knows. While the financial world, and by that I | mean the Wall street world, has been | greatly perturbed from time to time over | reports about the forcing on the Consol- | idated Of the New England, the Housa- tonic was the real key to the situation. | It contained in itself the powers of crippling force to the New York and | New England and harmful possibilities to the Consolidated as have been demon strated. That Colonel Stevenson conduct ed the negotiations by which the Housa- tonic has become part of the Consolidat- ed is not officially announced and probably never will be. Nevertheless, know well enough that he did and that his compensa- tion was a cool $l00,000, which sum has been paid him. Metaphoricslly speaking he has the sum comfortably en- sconced in his inside vest pocket. Fur thermore, he is to be paid the ealsry at tached to his position on the Housatonic up to the first of next January"

 NEW YORK, June 16.-The eight indict- ments for grand larceny and fraudulent issue of stock which have been pending for three years against Henry s. Ives and George H. Stayner were dismissed this morning by Judge Cowing in the court of general sessions at the request of J. J. Delaney. The district attorney in giving his consent to the dismissal of the indict- ments said he had conferred with the counsel for the Hamilton and Dayton rail road, the complainants in the case, and they stated that they did not desire to press the prosecution, as they believed no conviction could be obtained.

DEMOCRATIC SIDE SHOW.
The Peoples Party Only Intended to
Defeat Harrison.

Former Republicans in the North who
have intended to vote the Peoples party
ticket this lall ought to have their ewes
opened now to the full significance of the
nat money movement in politics. The
pretense that the campaign for Weaver is
truly national and likely to affect the
Democratic party in the South as much as
it will injure Republican chances in the
North, can no longer be made to do serv-
ice with honest men who keep posted
upon the events of the day. In Florida
and Georgia the Peoples party has been
found utterly unable to make headway
against the Democratic machine The
Bourbons have resorted to intimidation,
cajolery and every possible resource of
shreWd and desperate politicians in break
ing down the ranks OF the opposition. and
the Peoples party has been inert, half
hearted, and, in most places, altogether
useless and contemplate. 1t is absurd
to pretend longer that any doubt exists
concerning the result OF the election in
the Southern States, where the PEOPLES
party has been left to make the fight
against Democracy. West Virginia, and
perhaps Virginia, will be lost to Cleye-
land in November. but Harrison, not
Weaver, viii AIRY the former State and
dispute the latter. Weaver is useless
south of Mason and Dixon's line. Ii the
solid South shall be broken it will be
done by RepuencanS, not by 'ROpullStS, -
and the third party has proven itself ut
terly impotent in the old slave States.
Its candidate is making show of cour-
age and enterprise by speaking in Texas,
a State with l25, 900 democratic majority,
and while he wastes time in that Bour-
bon citadel the real efforts OF his party
are being concentrated upon the Repub-
lican States of the West which silver
mining interests or the Farmers Ali
ance craze have most affected.
The Peoples party movement is only
a scheme to beat Harrison. If it should
result in throwing the election into the
House of Representatives where Cleve-
lands easy victory would be assured, the
men who really control the "Populistsu
would be well satisfied, and such OF the
ruling spirits as expect to accomplish
anything at the polls hope to put Cleve-
land in the White House. 1t is high time
that Republicans who have strayed into
the Peoples party should understand the
way in which they are being duped. If
they have not yet become willing to help
Democratic bosses hoodwink the voters
of the country they should at once wash
their hands of the third party folly and
fight once more against the old enemy.
The Weaver candidacy is absurd, except
as a scheme for helping Cleveland into
power.-Cleveland Herald.

EMBARRASSING QUFsTIONs
Asked the Democratic New York ''Sun'
BY an Intelligent Reader.

Asked the Democratic New Y orl1 'ESun''
BY an Intelligent Reader.
TO the Editor Of The Nelo York Sun
SIR: Win you give me a frank answer to
the following questions:
l. Does not the seventh plank of the
Democratic platform adopted at Chicago
propose, by the abolition OF the ten Der
cent. tax upon State banks, that control
OF the greenback currency henceforth
snail be, as it was before the war, in the
hands of the several States, instead of
the Federal Government, as it is now?
2. Is 1t not fact that the State of Mis-
slssippi, on the failure of the Planters
Bank i'll 1872, repudiated its responsible
lty; That the Constitution OF Mississippi,
as amended in 1875, precludes forever the
payment of the obligation, that it contin-
ueS unpaid, and that the credit of the
Bayou state has since suffered in conse-
quence?
3. Is it not a fact that a considerable
share OF the debt OF Arkansas, North Car
ollna, Virginia and South Carolina has
been either deferred or disowned, and
that many of the securities of these States,
regular III form so far as innocent holders
are concerned, are practically valueless
and wholly uncollecIable?
4. Is it not a fact that the State of .ouis-
lana has on two occasions defauited III the
payment of interest; that the State of
W SSh III Illitt NltStNOWS us pfODOfLlOndIe
share Of the old Virginia debt, and that
the debt OF Virginia itself, principal and
interest, has been scaled and readjusted,
and Is at this moment indefinite in
amount, no two persons being agreed as
TO the sum OF the States liability?
.. Is IL not fact that Grover Cleveland,
Democratic candidate for President, IS
one Of the committee 10 which has been
lntrusted the task of reducing the unset
tied Virginia debt from S2S,0U0,00O to SD, =
OOO,0OO, or thereabouts?
q. Does not Section IL of the United
States Constitution provide that lawsuit
cannot be prosecuted against State by a
citizen of another state, and is not a suit
against State brought by one OF its own
citizens barred?
Z. ii Il State cannot lawfully be made to
pay It's own debts, or is unable to do so,
Of what value is its guarantee of the cur
rency issued by a bank, which it charters?
How can such a claim be enforced? Is il
not legally worthless?
8. Is not flood Of deprecated curren-
cy Of huctuating value more serious
menance to the country than a flood of
iorelgn-nade goods, passing the Custom
houses free from duty?
9. Is not this most truly an important
issue Of the present canvass? II. L.

TIE NAVY
To Whom Do We owe the Now Navy 2
and Who Opposed 1t.

and Who Opposed 1t.
To build and equip a new navy was a
great and patriotic work conducted on a
large scale and with vast expenditures,
buJ the Democratic party does not seem
TO be in sympathy with it. and never
allows an opportunity for obstructing it
To pass.
Mr.. Holman within a year has headed
series of petulant revolts against the
new navy. Secretary Tracy having caught
up with all arrears, desired to continue
the work OF enlarging the fleet.
HIS recommendations were very mod
crate, but Democratic economists would
not consent to have dollar Appropriated
Tor new work. They even opposed the
bare authorization OF two additional
ships, and were only defeated after "A des-
perate struggle. Even then they had sue
ceeded in restricting the Secretary's pro-
posals and IN suspending the operation OF
a republican Senate's progressive policy.
Widely and deservedly popular as is
the movement for developing the deien-
sive resources Of the Nation, Democratic
leaders cannot bring themselves to ap-
prove of II without hesitation and re-
serve. Their obstruction instincts over
master them whenever fresh proposals
are made for battleships Of the highest
class.
They are confused by the notion that a
lighting navy should be wanted. Some
OF them, like Mr.. Holman, are constantly
mumbling under their breath, "What is
navy good for, anyway?'
The work of making the American
navy what it ought to be-a marvel OF
modern science and the pride Of the seas,
fortress and defense Of American
rights-talls upon the more progressive
and patriotic party. The battle Of Amer
lean naval supremacy will have to be
fought to the very end and the victory
won by the Republican party.

slokles and slocum to Veterans.

Among the most prominent and re-
spected members Of the Grand Army of
the Republic who attended the recent en-
campment were General Daniel 4. Sickles
and General Henry w. SIocum, and ex-
ception has been taken by Democrats who
are not eligible to membership in the or
ganiZation to certain remarks reported to
have been made by them, on the ground
that the utterances were in violation of
one of its tenets. There is no ground
whatever for this criticism. What was
said by these gallant soldiers and patri-
otto men was no ordinary partisan dec
laration; neither of them invaded in the
slightest degree the requirements and
privileges OF the Grand Army Of the Re-
public, and for what they said they re-
ceived the almost unanimous approval of
their comrades, irrespective of the politi-
cal differences which exist in the MEM
bership of that organization. Naturally,
the desire to know Just what General Slo-
cum and General Sickles did say about
the Presidential contest is strong and
eager. All that they said cannot be re-
ported; but a Tribune correspondent is
permitted to give one sentence from each,
which fairly indicates the tenor of the
whole.
General Slocum said Il would like to
know how any soldier can vote for two
men, both drafted on the same day,
against man who served his country as
Loyalty as Harrison did in the time of
peril?'
General Sickles said "No man will
ever be elected to the Presidency of this
country who has insulted the soldiers
when speaking of the question of pen
sions."

a Lamb.

Persons who have looked to Mr.. Cleve-
lands letter Of acceptance for definition
Of his views on the tariff and the currency
will rise from n perusal of this belated
document in state of bewildering un-
certainty. Not for many years, if ever,
has a moro equivocal and hating state
ment been put forth by any asprant for
the high Office Of President of the United
States. The letter opens well. For a few
paragraphs the reader finds himself COM
mending Mr.. Cleveland for his honesty
and boldness in planting himself square
ly on the Chicago platform and the Con-
stitution OF the late Confederacy. In Ian
guage which seems to be unmistakabIe
he takes his stand with Calhoun and JEFF
ferson Davis on the doctrine that prOtec-
lection is fraudulent and unconstitutional.
But presto, change! In the very next
paragraph we find our doughty champion
hemming and having, and protesting
that he really does not mean what he has
lust said, and that protection is not such
a bad thing after all, if only it is admins
tered in incidental doses! In the twink
ling of an eye our great fierce, roaring
lion becomes a very small and gentle and
innOcuOus lamb.

HOOOIER LESSON.
The Bobtai Banking System in That
State Tried.
The Result of What the Democratic
Party Demands q Re-
turn To.

In addition to the startling presentation
OF wildcat banking in Major McKinley'S
Philadelphia speech, the specific state
ment below from the indianapolis Jour
nat should receive careful attention. IG
IS not matter prepared for present cam
palgn purposes, but embodies the report
OF the State Auditor of Indiana upon the
collapse of free banking in that State in
1859. The Journal thus lays the case be-
fore the country:
The semi-annual statement of the Aud
ltor OF State, issued in April, 1859, show
ing the condition of the free banks of
Indiana, reported the following banks
as having Withdrawn their securities,
with the following outstanding cir
culation: Brookville Bank, redeemed at
the Bank of BrCokville, 81, 2,0J4; Bank Of
syracuse, redeemed mt the Bank of
Goshen, Sl0964; Merchants and Me-
cAanIcs' Bank, redeemed at branch OF the
Bahk OF ths state, New Albany, 81 ,037;
tayette County Bank, redeemed at the
branch of the State Bank at Conners-
Vllle, Sl,tSS; Indiana Reserve Bank,
redeemed at the banking-house Of
John Bohan IL Co., kokomo, 81 ,1g0.
Ihese banks, under the Law at that time.
had Withdrawn their stock securities
pledged for their circulation. and had
SCANAf NiAi4 nUASOudA btLuIILN
only, for the redemption of their OUT
standing notes. The SeRtiHet ofJuIy 26th,
commenting on this state of facts. said:
I'VE learn that the Bank of the State
proposes, alter it has paid out and dis
posed of what it has on hand, to utterly
refuse to receive that kind of paper. BY
this sharp inanciering whatever expense
and loss there may be in the redemption
of the notes Will fall upon the public, not
upon the bank. AS, ere this, the bank
has probably got rid of what il may have
had on hand, the public will have to
shoulder the depreciation and delay at
tending the redemption of the paper"
The law under which this free bank
system was established was Democratic
measure, and several of the Democratic
State officers Of that day were in the busi-
ness up to their eyes.
The commercial article in the Journal
Of July I, 1899, contains q list of specie
paying banks in Indiana, together with 4
list of suspended and broken banks, with
the market value OF their notes, as fol-
lows:
