4 RINGING LETTER
From Man Who Knows How to Appre- ciate the Worth of Congress-
 man Breelsinridge.

kEDFIELD, ARK, May 29. 1894.
 If the successful candidacy for the Second Congressional District is to be determined by an expression of the best interests of the whole peo- pie by the true spirit of Democracy by true espousal of patriotic prin- ciples. then indeed should Mr. Breck- inridge receive the support of all Democrats.
 He has shown himself to be a Dem oerat in his loyalty to the party, a statesman in his wisdom and ability to grapple with great and National affairs, q patriot in his answering devotion and characteristic zeal in matters concerning the common wealth. His association in the tariff with such men as Morrison, Mills, Carlisle and Wilson is sufficient proof of his ability. And as to his position on the silver question, it is enough to say that he stands squarely on the Chicago platform, which shows his fealty to his party and the astuteness of a statesman. In following the course he persued he knew it to he at the peril of de- feat in his subsequent offer )r Con- gressienal honors, yet he was not detered from his post of duty or his honest espOusal of principles. Could any motive less than pure patriot ism impel to such an end or aetuate to SO great q sacrifice?
 His integrity, fealty, wisdom and patriotism commend him to all fair minded men.
 Mir. Breckinridge is accused by his Populistic enemies falsely of failure to represent the interests of the peo- pie. This should not mislead us in SD far as to act against our better judgement.
 Judge Little. who opposes Mir. Bfeckinridge in the canvass of the district, has gone over in some degree to the Populistie side, depart ing from the platform on the silver question in favoring the free and un- limited coinage of silver
 The question arises, can Democrats consistently endorse such an abor- tive doctrine by giving their support to the man who espouses it, or who panders for political preferment to the irresponsible advocates of such measures? The tendency is to the disruption of the party, the only party that has ever represented the wishes and interests of the whole people and that declares for the re- tention of the untrammeled rights of tle people.

THE COUNTRY is SAFE.

President Cleveland on the Financial Stu
ation-Niuch Better OF Than Year Ago,
When the Balance of Trade, Now in Our
Favor, was Against Us-The Patriotic Ac-
ton of the Banks Commended.
WASHINGTON. June 25.-The presi-
dent in speaking of the financial stu
alton said:
''The offer Of certain New York
banks to replace from their vaults
gold drawn from the government
treasury for shipment abroad, is GER
tainly thoughtful and patriotic. 1t
not only tends to maintain the treas
ury's gold reserve in good condition,
but it adds to the stock of popular
confidence which is at all times i'm
portant.
The elements which make up our
actual situation do not justify any ap-
prehensions, and the administra tion
still adheres to its pledge and deter
mlnatlon to protect our national credit
at all hazards and keep the quality of
our money equal with the best so far
as the limits of executive power per-
nit.
''Of course croaking and the spread
OF disquieting tales is calculated to in
jure the strongest financial conditions
| assume, however, that there is too
much patriotism among our people and
too much familiarity with our re-
sources and capabilities to permit our
reserved force and financial vigor to be
discredited.
when the last government bonds
were issued to replenish our stock of
gold it was nearly as low as now,
while outside of our gold we had as
available money to pay the ordinary
expenses of government only about
$4,000, 900. We have now, besides our
gold and in money applicable to gov
ernment expenses, more than $53,-
O00.000
Il understand that it is charged in
certain quarters that the payment of
matured obligations is postponed to
the amount of $50, 900, 600 or S75, 900, 900.
This is not true. We are paying as we
go in the usual way.
Last year, up to June /, the balance
against US arising from the export and
imports Of merchandise, excluding
gold and silver, was S64, So, ,O46. The
balance in our favor, same period of
this year, was So, 500, 562, represent
no ohn-oa - favor
Of S127, ,512, sos. These conditions,
taken in connection with the
willingness Of our banks to
help the treasury during any tempo
rary and unusual drain Of gold ought
to satisfy the most conservative of our
safety. 1t must not be forgotten as
another favorable feature in the situa
ton that we are no longer purchasing
silver and issuing gold obligations in
payment therefor"

WALL STREET is WAITING
To Sec What Effect the New Tariff Bill
VIII Have Upon Business.

NEW YORK, June 26.-lIenry Clews'
weekly circular says: We are now
within comparatively few days of the
final enactment of the new tariff bill.
by the 1st Of August. its provisions are
likely to be in operation; and the anx
ious problem of its effects will then
enter the process Of solution. 1t can
hardly be said that Wall street shows
any deep interest in the approaching
event. 1t is not basing any present op-
erations upon it; it is not discounting
it as either bull or a bear element.
1t does not deny that it must have
future effects, but it regards those re-
suits as so contingent upon conditions
Independent of the tariff that they
hardly afford material for speculation.
much less for careful investment. 1t
is conceded that the new act will re-
move the ostensible reason for sus-
pense which has so long kept bust
ness stagnant. Wall streets attitude
at the moment is waiting one. SO as
to see how things viii drift when the
new conditions take effect.

TAR AND FEATHERS.

Terrible Outrage Comm tied Upon AdIt.
Gen. Tarsney of Kidna ped
From "a Colorado Springs Hotel, Carried
Out Upon the Prairie, Stripped and
Given Coat of Ta- and Feathers
Warned Against Returning to Colorado
Springs.
COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, June "a
Probably the most glaring outrage con-
nected with the recent trouble at Grip
pie Creek was committed shortly after
midnight. Adjt.-Gen Tarsney of the
Colorado state national guard, who was
stopping at the Alamo hotel, was called
from his room shortly after midnight
and informed that some party at Grip
pie Creek wished to speak to him over
the telephone. When Gen. Tarsney
appeared behind the clerks desk to an
swer the alleged call he was suddenly
CONFRONTED BY A MASKED MAN,
armed with two revolvers, who re-
quested him to accompany him. The
hotel clerk in the meantime had been
placed under guard of the kidnapers.
Tarsney Immediately called for help
and was as quickly dubbed into sub
mission with revolver and almost in
stantly several more of the kidnapers
appeared and carried him to the side
walk, where two closed carriages un-
der guard were in waiting. The en-
barkationI
WAS THE WORK OF ONLY MOMENT
and then ensued a wild ride east on
Cucharras and north on Weber streets,
then east to Austin bluffs at the city
limits. On each of the drivers boxes
sat one Of the mob with a drawn re-
volver who saw that the hack drivers
promptly obeyed orders. Arriving on
the open prairie at Austin bluffs, Gen.
Tarsney was removed from the car
riage and stripped nude and
A COAT OF TAR AND FEATHERS
was administered. The ringleader of
the kidnapers had previously given or
ders that Tarsney was not to be abused.
This order seems to have been obeyed
after the general was subdued by club
bing at the hotel. After tar and
feathering Gen. Tarsney the mob
warned him against returning to the
springs. While the mob were at the
hotel Police Officer Agard
HEARD THE CALLS FOR ASSISTANCE
and while on the way to render aid,
was stopped by another member Of tie
tarring party and compelled at the
point of rernlver to halt until the
balance Of the mob had secured U1ss;r
man. In less than ten minutes arter
the hacks had departed, three mounted
police started in hot pursuit Of the abb
ductors. One of these officers
WHO STRUCK THE RIGHT TRAIL
and came up with the mob and had the
pleasure of looking down the muzzle
of a villainous gun and ordered to sur
render, which he promptly did, and was
an involuntary witness of the bastard
ly outrage.

THE COLORADO OUTRAGE.
Gen. Tarsney Gradually Recovering From
the Shock of His Rough Treatment.

DENVER, Col, June 26.-Gen. Tars-
ney, who received coat of tar and
feathers at the hands of his enemies
Saturday morning, was resting easier
at last accounts The inflamma ton in
his face is greatly reduced, but is still
anything but comfortable, and his
body has somewhat recovered from
stiffness, resulting from his treatment
and his long walk The strain upon
his nerves was so great that he
was nearly Frustrated when he
found himself among friends, but he
has in great degree recovered from
the prostration. Gen. Tarsney is man
of considera BILE pride and spirit. and he
suffers from humiliation perhaps as
much as he does from physical pain.
Not only are his friends profuse in
their manifestations of sympathy, but
the public generally deprecate the oc-
currence, and do not hesitate to give
expression to their feelings. The gen.
eral is about sc years of age, and served
in the Union army during the civil war.
