.TO-DAY'S TELEGRApHEC NEWS
The Stock Markets.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-It has been a
long time since the Stock Exchange
has witnessed such q lively opening as
it did this morning. The brokers were
in better spirits and long before the
opening it certainly seemed that q
strong reaction had set in and that the
market would see sharp recovery to-
day. The good feeling manifested was
attributed to the better tone for Ameri-
cans in London the statement that the
clearing house would, at meeting at
noon, recommend the issuance of loan
certificates, if necessary, and the efforts
now making at Washington to relieve
the treasury situation.
The opening of the market was
excited and attended with a greater
strength then for some days past.
A feature of the opening was the
enormous number Of orders from "ont-
siden visitors and as the purchases were
outright. tended to steady the market.
Practically all the foreign houses had
buying orders this morning and in the
aggregate ran into the thousands of
shares. As the settlements were car
ried through successfully, the ssnsa.
tional rumors which were current late
Saturday about impending failures of
big stock exchange firms, were at once
set at rest.
A further rise in prices was recorded
about IL o'clock and brokers with
Vanderbilt and other strong connec-
tions were buyers Of the market.
The advance brought about realiza-
tons by operators who had bought for
a turn and there was reaction Of 1a2
per cent. Speculation near noon was
active and irregular.
The stock exchange has ruled that
securities in the name or guaranteed by
insolvent members are good delivery
until further notice. This will prevent
considerable friction in deals between
members.
Stocks at 1890 p. m. were steady to
firm. Eight hundred thousand dollars
have just been loaned at Z per cent per
apnum.
The clearing house association de-
cided to issue loan certificates to an
unlimited amount which will bear six
per cent. interest and commission OF
l-16 per cent. No bank has applied
for the certificates as yet. The COM
mittee appointed to issue certificates is
the same that acted during the panic OF
189S-with Mr.. F. D. Tappen, as chair
man.
This will do much to relieve the
anxiety. These certificates are issued
against the collaterals held by the
backs and pass current as money. This
action will put an end to fancy rates
such as obtained last week when un-
fortunate borrowers in some instances
were compelled to pay as high as 80
per cent. for accommodation.

and the rates on dividend paying stocks fell

There has been some excellent buying for
cash to-day.

OPPOSED TO GEN. CoPPINGER.
The nomination by the President OF

Va
Colonel John ]. Coppinger to be
brigsdier general has brought on a
big fight over the nomination. Daily
Senators are receiving kilograms and
letters of protest from all over the
country. The case promises to be one
of the most interesting of this Congress.
The attacks made on Col. Coppinger
are against his private life as we'll as
his public career. They come from sll
over the land and the committee on
military affairs has large-sized ele-
plant on its hands.
Col. Coppinger married the daughter
of James &. Blaine. His rise in the
army has been rather rapid, but no
special attention was paid to that. 1t
was only when President Cleveland, in
the exercise of his upchalleDged pre-
rogative, appointed Col. Coppinger o
brigadier general that the storm ofcrit-
icism broke.
The patriotic societies of the country
have arrayed themselves against his ap-
pointment, and are doing all they can
to have him defeated. They take the
stand on the ground that he cared so
little for the rights of an American citi-
zen that he did not apply for his nat
uralization papers until three years ago,
when his friends first began to push
him for promotion.
Col. Coppinger is said to have been
the cause of the defeat Of his father-in-
law for the Presidency. 1t was feared
by many Protestants that the Catholic
son-in.law would enjoy a boom. Now
that Mr.. Cleveland has done what Mr..
Blaine was unable to do, great big
objection has come.
Col. Coppinger was born in Ireland
and, at the time of his arrival in this
country at the breaking out OF the war,
he was an aide.de camp to Pope Plus
TX. He left Ireland to join the Papal
Guards and fight against the armies of
Victor Emanuel and Garibaldi. For
bravery he was created a chevalier of
st. Michael.
Forced to leave Italy he came to the
United States with letter to Arch
bishop Hughes, who was then power
He was soon put in the line of active
service and made captain of the Four
teenth Infantry September 30, 1861.
At the close of the war he was colonel
of New York regiment.
Whom nominated to be brigadier
general he was number twelve in in
fantry colonies, and his relative rank
in the army was number 80.
Those who oppose his confirm ,tion
also claim that he was advanced over
the heads of more deserving colonies

Government by Injunction Is DespotIsm

The following letter from Eugene v.

many people in America are just be-
ginning to realize:
Charles F. Blackburn, Weaverville,
CAL:
Ny Dear Slr:-Your favor Of the goth
is received. Thank you cordially for
your kind and sympathetic words. To
bear punishment for ones honest con-
victions is in the nature Of privilege
which does not require high order Of
courage. 1 fully concur with you in
your estimate of the courts. AS gen.
eral proposition, they are for the pro-
lection Of the rich and the punishment
Of the poor. Judge Trumbull said the
other day that any federal judge may
now imprison any citizen who happens
to displease him. This is despotism,
pure and simple, and so far as the lib
erty of the citizen Is concerned, we
differ with Russia only in name. There
is, however, a hopeful view to be taken
Of the situation. The people are wax
ing up. Educational influences are in
operation and in due time American
manhood will assert itself. Thanking
you again, am,
Yours very truly,

MONEY TALKS.

Both Old Parties Use Money to BUY
Their Ends.
What is the difference between
them? Nothing, though nominally one
ia labelled a democrat and the other a
republican. Both are vastly rich
both are capitalists-and both use their
money lavishly to accomplish their po-
litical aims and ends.
Quay IS a high tariff and gold Ltan-
dard advocate. So is Brice, though
three-fou.ths of the democrats Of Ohio
are against him on both questions; yet
he rules democratic conventions as
with rod Of iron by the lavish use OF
money.
The recent democratic convention In
Ohio illustrates the fact. Bflcs won,
ani money did 1t. Quay, on Wednes-
day, achieved the greatest triumph OF
his life. Money did it, for it IS esti-
mated that more than $1,000 were

We would as soon be in the hands
Of one as the other. They use their
money to achieve success, and the peo-
pie allow them to do it. But We hope
the day is near at hand when merit
will win and not money. Neither
Brlce nor Quay would have a seat in

Talking seceaaIon.

In an interview in this city, a few
days ago, Mr.. Frank Mclaughlin, one
Of the chief owners Of the Philadelphia
Times, said: "There is bound to be a
secession of a part Of the union, sooner
or later"
He says that he does not think that
the dissolution will be brought about
by the sword, but he thinks the time is
not far distant when the west will say
to the east: 1--WE are tired Of taking
laws made from Washington. Our in
terests are separate and distinct from
yours; there Is no community Of senti-
ment between US; let US go our way in
peace and you go yours"
He further thinks in this contingency
the south will sympathize with the west
instead Of the east, and will act with
the west.-Silver knight.

J. PIERPoNT MORGAN.
Tho Treasury I'm the Hands of God
and Morgan"

The Treasury I'm the Hands of God
and Morgan"
Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan, of New York,
seems to be the undlsputed king Of this
country. He is acting president, sec
rotary Of the treasury, treasurer and
general king pin Of the government,
and that is equivalent to being king.
A New York banker said last week that
1.-THE treasury situation seemed to be
in the hands Of God and ]. Pierpont
Morgan" Without desiring to appear
irreverent, we are inclined to remark
that in our opinion Morgan has the
whip-hand of the arrangement. 1t
must be anything but comforting to
the American people to think that =
Wall street banker, the personiication
Of greed, has the country by the throat
and that his will goes. If he orders an
issue Of bonds the bonds come. If the
government wants money the president
says to this august financial autocrat
and boss Of 100000 people: will
you please, sir, loan me triae?" The
back door Of Wall street is the great
government of the United States.
When Mr. .Morgans feet are particular
ly dirty he wipes them on Washington
and steps into his palatial office. He
is the Rothschild of America, and every
man in the republic is paying tribute
to his greed. Is 1t not time to an
nounce that this country be free from
Morgan? Is 1t not time to proclaim
an independence for the second time
In the history of the republic? The
spectacle of 7O,OOO,OO people being de-
pendent upon the bounty and will and
greed Of a product Of Wall street is
quite enough to crack the old liberty
bell on the other side and to make
every dead patriot from '76 to IS turn
over in his coffin. II we can get the
living dead to show some signs Of life
next year, possibly Ws may free our
selVes.-Farmers' Voice.

say that no bill of any character what

No doubt he tells the truth-and per-

Just as bad.
