New York, Aug. 9.-The dealings
of the stock exchange were character
lied by weakness during a great part of
the day and in some instances sharp
declines were recorded. The bears
were usually aggressive, having been
encouraged in their operations by the
closing Of the Madison Square Bank,

currency and gold and rumors, after

Company's paper had gone to protest

The offerings were not particular heavy
and tho losses resulted chiefly from the
lack of supporting orders. AS on yes
terday, the selling for the long account
was paratively light, fact which
made itself felt during the last hour of

T'he Story of am Adventurer.

A few days ago a Judgment was
obtained 10 Denver against Stephen
W. Dorsey for $3.50 for a piano.
Ten years ago Dorsey would have
carried ten times $3.50 10 his vest
pocket for loose change, and any
piano dealer would have gladly cold
him q thousand pianos on long time.
Stephen W. Dorsey was one Of
the most brilliantly successful car
pet.baggers of his time. A Vernon.
ter by birth, he acquired western
ways early in life in Ohio, and after
an u~neventful career in the army ap.
peared in Arkansas after the war,
where his talent for political intrigue
enabled him to control the repnbli>
cans Of that State. He manipulated
State issues of railroad bonds to such
advantage that he made o fortune.
Then he went to the Senate. From
that time his political power declin-
ed. but his great cattle company in
the west soon netted him millions.
He was the Monte Cristo of the west.
His cattle ranged on q thousand hills
and he was a veritable king.
But the exposure of Dorsey's part
in. the star route frauds led to his
ruin. He spent nearly all of bis for
time to secure his acquittal, and Q
panic in live stock circles left him
hopdessly in debt. The ex-carpet-
bag millionaire 10 now o. broken old
man. He will never regain bis for~
mer place in political and financial
circles. The remainder of his life
must be spent in lodging creditors
and in dreaming Of the days when
he played the role Of dictator and
in6ulged in ell the follies Of a spoil.

Those who are trying to make The
people believe that fear ct the effects
of tariff revision is one of the causes
OF the present stringency of money
must have q snblisae confidence In
the willingness of the people to swal'
low any absurdity rather than take
the trouble to think. Fear of tariff
revision does tend to cause dull
times, by eaasiag manufacturers aud
supporters to act with caution, but
the natural effect of such Q condition
OF affairs 10 to make money more
plentiful. A factory which is shut
down for fear of . change in the
tariff does not require as much mons
ey to pay wages, and for other pur-
poses, 90 II requires when it full
blast. If half a million men we're
thus thrown out of work because of
the fear OF tariff revision, and If these
men averaged only $40 a week each
when at work, then the employers
OF these men would need SIS, OOo, 900
less every week during the shutdown
than they would need while working
Toll time. Anyone can see, there
